sort of lovliness hat all agree upon is the
beauty of health. No matter what her
features, no sickly oma can be attrac-

face, hollow eyes, ~lifeless lips-these are
repellant. And they can nearly always
be traced TO the one cause-womanly
weakness or disease. Almost all the ills
of womankind are cured if you put the
feminine organism into healthy, vigorous

BEGINS TO-DAY.
United Mine Workers and Operators
Will Confer Concernings'Wages and
Hours for the Year.

PITTSBURG, Pa, January 16.-This
week will witness a battle royal between
the coal operators and the United Mine
Workers, over the Interstate agreement.
The operators from st. Louis and Hi
nois are already here and by tomorrow
it is expected that representatives from all
the States interested will be in the city.
The joint convention is scheduled for to-
morrow afternoon. but if the miners do
not get through with their business, the
meeting will be postponed until Wednes-
day.
1t is understood that the operators will
energetically oppose an advance on the
price of mining, and will fight to the end
any agreement loking toward an increase
in the present wages. The business, they
admit, has been better during the last
ninety days than for a long time, but
they are hampered by a lack of cars
for transportation.
Some of the miners delegates say they
will insist both upOn an advance in wages
and the eight-hour day. They claim
that nearly all the mines Of the country
are being worked to their full capacity,
and that there is a scarcity of miners in
many districts. Michigan iron ore oper-
ators are sending agents through the coal
mining districts of Illinois engaging coal
diggers to go to the iron mines. Alto
gether the situation, they say, warrants
asking for more money. Some of the del
egates even went so far as to hint that if
their demands were not complied with a
strike of greater magnitude than the
country has seen for years would be in
augurated next summer

Are Accorded Distinguished Hon
0rS.

Denver, January 1G.-Col. VIM. J.
Bryan and his wife arrived in Denver
to-day. They were met by a reception
committee and escorted to the resid-
ence of Hon. T. M. Patterson. At II
o'clock a public reception to Col. Bryan
was given by the Denver Bimetallic
league, and hundreds of people embrace
ed the opportunity to grasp the hand of
the silver champion. This evening Mr..
and Mrs. Patterson held q reception
for the distinguished visitors which
members of the Legislature and other
prominent people attended. The pro-
gramme tomorrow includes an ad-
dress to the Legislature and a public
address in the evening, the subject of
which is "Naboth's Vineyard"
Col. Bryan declared to-day in a brief
speech hat the silver issue is still very
much alive. He said:
The cause lives because it embodieS
the hopes, the aspirations and the be-
lief of our people. 1t is a strong
causet. because the people need silver.
The American people favor bimetall-
ism, never mind where the silver is
produced. We do not need it because
it is produced here. People eat because
they need it. not because food has TO
be consEled. And so with gold and
silver. They are important in the
worlds commerce because they are
needed, and you can never destroy sill
yer while it is needed. The farmer.
the creator of wealth, knows that the
gold standard lowers prices without
raising money. And if the gold stand
ard should once be established, you
may set it down that the date of bank
ruptcy is not far ahead. To restore BIZ
metallism is to restore the parity be-
tween money and property.
IF is just, and I firmly be-
lieve it is. its triumph is sure. Truth
cannot be crushed to earth. The hour
of death is not here"

A NEW BILL.

The populistic caucus of the Kansas
Legislature has agreed upon a railroad
bill which, it is claimed, will pass both
houses. The bill creates a railroad court,
to be known as the Court of Visitation,
to be elected by a vote of the people in
1900. Until that time the judges are to be
appointed by the Governor. They are
given the power to fix freight and pas
senger rates, revise demurrage charges.
hear complaints, order improvements and
adjust disputes. 1t is declared that no
rates, special contracts or agreements
now in existence shall be received as
proof of the reasonableness of freight
charges. Only an appeal to the Supreme
Court of Kansas is to be allowed. The
court is given power to adjust disagree
ments between railroads and their en-
ployes resulting in strikes. If employees
are found to be in the wrong the court
can enjoin them. and if the road is
found to be at fault the court can order 1t
to adjust the strike. Upon failure to COM
ply with the order of the court, the latter
is given power to place the road in the
hands of a receiver, who shall operate
as long as may be necessary to insure
tranquility of commerce, The bill makes
it a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of
81, COO and one year in jail for any railroad
to discriminate in charges or classical
tons. with an additional fine of 81, coo for
every day the company shall violate the
provisions of this act. 1t allows damages,
both actual and exemplary, nOtWithStand-
ing the provisions of the act.

IMPLICATIONS
Are Expected When the First West
Virginia Regiment is Mustered Out
and Paid Off.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va. January 16.-
When the First West Virginia regiment
is mustered out of service, a row OF
sorae magnitude is anticipated. The
soldiers will find that they are short in
their pay. 1t will be remembered that
Governor Atkinson recently made a
trip to the national capital to urge pay
ment of a bill of $4,000 for e%quipping
the regiment. Adjt. Gen. Appleton to-
day received official notification that
$21, 900 has been allowed, and the ball
ance withheld. OF the sun expended
by the State. s26, 900 was borrowed at
six per cent interest. The State has
many times hat sum in the irreduc-
able school fund. but the money could
not be secured from that source on ac-
count of a misunderstanding among
State officials.
At the office of the adjutant general
1t is believed that the major portion of
the residue approximating $4,000, will
never be recovered, owing to the diff
Guilty of meeting the requirements of
red tape in the War Department. But
that is not the worst feature. The
State of West Virginia paid the volun-
teer soldiers a dollar a day during the
eighteen days preceding their muster
ing into service. The War Depart
ment allows but 50 cents a day and the
remainder vii be deducted in the final
pay of the soldiers. 1t is expected that
the boys will follow the example re-
Gently set by an Ohio regiment of vol
unteers. In that instance the pay was
refused, and the State made %appropria-
ton to cover the deficiency. If the
First regiment does likewise the Legis-
lature will undoubtedly be asked for an
appropriation which will not fall much
short of SIC, 900.

evening with the first section Of train No.
80, from Grafton. This is one Of the new
engines, which the company have de-
cided to place on this end Of the line,
and of which mention has been made in

units, or about five more cars than can
be hauled by any of the other type Of
locomotives. Everything worked very
satisfactory during the entire trip, and
the train made regular schedule time.
This locomotive has been in service the
past two weeks between Grafton and
Fairmont. waiting for the new heavy

Littleton. All this work is completed now
and as soon as possible fifteen more en-
gines of the above class will be placed on

FATHER CHINIoUY DEAD.

Church.

Became Famous Through His Dispute
with the Higher Authorities of the
Church.
Montreal, January 16.-Father Chin
iquy died to-day. To the end he adj
hered to the Protestant faith.
Charles Chiniquy, the apostle of
temperance" was born in Mamouras-
ka, Quebec, July 80, 1909. He was or
dained to the priesthood in 1888. In
1851 he visited Illinois, and in the fol-
lowing year the village OF st. Anne, in
Kankakee county, was founded. Faith
er Chiniquy and his superior, Bishop
O'Reagan, became involved in a long
drawn dispute, leading to legal action,
in which the former was defended by
Abraham Lincoln. The quarrel was
also carried to Rome and laid before
the Pope. In 1858 the entire village Of
st. Anne, with the exception of fifteen
families, withdrew from the Roman
Catholic church, and the dissenters
later decided to unite with the Presby-
terrain church. On April Is, 1860, the
~Presbytery of Chicago adjourned their
meeting from Chicago to st. Anne,
where Father Chiniquy presented the
names of nearly two thousand converts
who were received into full commun-
ion.
Father Chiniquy then embarked
upon a career which made him known
around the world. In 1878 he visited
the Western States, and afterwards
spent two years lecturing in Australia
and the Antipodes. In his lecturing
tour he experienced many exciting in
cidents and narrow escapes. For
eighteen years he was kept under bail
as a criminal.

THE CAUSE REVEALED.
The Real Source of rheumatism Is Finally
Found by Scientific Discovery.

For years the medical profession and
people generally have been inquiring
what is the cause of rheumatism"
Millions have suffered from its strange
attacks, have endured in silence and
still wondered what could have caused
it. Like all great things in this world,
the is very simple when clearly
understood.
Uric acid in the blood is the one great
cause of all this trouble, all this pain,
all this annoyance, which so often
wrecks the life.
But how does this uric acide get into
the blood? That is the great question.
Uric acid gets into the blood, poisons
the blood, and often ruins the life, be-
cause it is not expelled from the sys-
TEN.
But how can it be thrown out of the
system?
In one way and one way only
through the kidneys. Is this not SIM
pie, is it not reasonable-it is true!
1t is because the kidneys are not do
ing their duty that the uric acid re-
mains in the body, gets into the blood,
causes those terrible pains in the joints
and muscles and frequently brings on
more serious troubles.
There has never been but n way
by which the kidneys could be kept in
perfect condition and good working or
der, and that is by the use of that great
modern discovery-Warner's Safe Cure.
This has been proven conclusively by
the millions of people who have used
iA by the millions who have been help
ed and by those who are in perfect
health to-day.
You know this. reader, if you will
only stop and think. Recall how many
times you have read the grateful words
of men and women who have been in
the depths of bitterness and who have
been restored by using Warmers Safe
Cure. There are an untold number of
people to-day who would be in an ex-
hausted condition from rheumatism IL
it were not for a constant use of this
great discovery.
