A LOCAL OYSTER WAR.
The Schooner Captains Complain of
Rnd Treatment by Dealers.


war is on between the wholesale oys-
ter dealers of the city and the captains OF
the sixty or seventy Washington schoon-
ers which bring the product of the oyster
beds OF the lower Potomac and Chesapeake
Bay to the Eleventh Street wharf. The
captains of these schooners say they are
being ruined by the arbitrary acton of the
wholesale dealers going to Baltimore and
Annapolis to purchase their biva.ves.
They claim further that nearly . 600 bush
els OF oysters spoiled on the wharves week
before last and 500 bushels last week al
though during the latter period the price
had been reduced 20 per cent.
The wholesale dealers answer this By the
statement that for several years the cap
tains of these schOoners have whenever
occasion would warrant, demanded eXorbi-
tant prices for their cargOss and have
often raised the price when there was no
warrant for it. Things got so bad in this
way, they claim, that they were compel! ed
TO find another market in which 10 make
their purchases.

People are apt to believe that kidney dis
ease is a rather rare disease. but statistics
have proven that it is a most common
trouble
And the proof of this is that most dis
eases, perhaps 50 per cent, are caused in
the beginning by disorders of the kidneys.
BECAUSE they fail to filter your blood.
Your other organs may need care-but
your kidneys most, because they do most
II you are sick. begin doctoring your
kidneys because as soon as they are well
they will help all the other organs TO
health.
When your kidneys are not doing their
work some of the symptoms which prove
it to you are pain or dull ache in the back
/ rheumatic pains, sciatica sediment in the
urine, scanty supply, scalding irritation in
passing it, obliged to go often during the

night; uric acid, sleep.essness, nervous ir-
ritability, sallow, unhealthy complexion,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes, loss
of energy and ambition.
If your water when allowed to remain

pearance, it is evidence that your kidneys

AN ADVANCE
Will Be Made In the Wages of Sec

The great scarcity in the number
of section hands is causing consider
able discussion in railroad circles.
Section hands are usually paid $1.2
a day, and with boarding at 81 a
week, men are not crowding forward
at very fast rate to accept jobs. AT
present 40 men could find employ
ment on the local divisions.
The matter of increasing wages of
section men is now under advisement
with the officials of the Erie road,
who will no doubt take the initiative
step in remedying the difficulty by
advancing the price of common work
from $1.25 to $l.35 and $l.50 a day.
The new scale may go into effect in

only one way to cure deafness and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin

gets infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
