Josiah B. Allen.
La grippe has been justly called "The
Scourge of the Closing Years of The
Nineteenth Century. This disease runs
a course of very uncertain duration and
severity. 1t leaves the system in a de-
plorable condition. 1t weakens the
nerve centers, it impoverishes the blood,
dlsturbs the circulation, clogs up the eX-
cretory ducts and depresses the whole
vital system. There are thousands upon
thousands of people in this condition as
the result of la grippe. Pe-ru-na cures
la grippe.
AS to the after-effects of la grippe. so
with the acute stages, Pe-ru-na is a spe-
cific. 1t seems to be thoroughly adapted
to this disease in all its phases. A great
many letters are received by DR.. Hart
man every year in which Pe-ru-na is eX-
tolled by the people as being a prompt
and reliable cure for Ia grippe. La
grippe is in reality Il catarrhal disease.
1t would be properly named acute cpl
demic catarrh A Few specimens of the
letters received by DR.. Hartman on this
subject will be given:

AS TO CARPENTERS STRIKE
Both Parties to the Existing Differ
ence Hold Meetings and Dis
cuss the Situation.

The members Of the Builders association
met in executive session Saturday night for
the purpose Of discussing the strike situa-
ton. The session was attended by about
fifteen members, and they expressed them
selves satisfied with the situation, an
nouncing their determination to further re-
sist the demands OF the carpenters for 81
cents per hour from now on. But they said
they were willing to pay the scale demanded
on and after January l. 1900, or upon all
new contracts which may be awarded upon
the basis OF the advance asked for.
1t was stated during the course OF the
meeting that a number of the carpenters
who have walked out are going to South
Omaha and working there for contractors
who are paying but 30 cents per hour. It
was also stated that some were working on
Jobs there which did not pay but 22h cents
per hour. 1t was not definitely known
whether these men were members of the
local union or not.
1t had also come to the attention OF some
OF the members Of the association that the
South Omsha union proposed to ask for an
advance Of 5 cents per hour should the
Omaha carpenters succeed in securing the
increase they asked for.
The carpenters expressed themselves salts
fed with the situation, and assert that 1t Is
only a question OF time before they will
win, forcing the contractors to agree to their
terms.
Yesterday they circulated among the con-
tractors the agreement which they want to
remain In force until May /. 1900. They
claim that It has been signed by a large
numbe of builders. including many OF those
which belong TO the Exchange, and those
who are not affiliated with either OF the
contractors organizations. At the meeting
OF the association 1t was claimed that not
a single member OF that organization had as
yet signed It, nor intended doing so.
The agreement specifies that a days work
shall consist OF eight hours, excepting on
Saturday when the men will quit work at
noon; hat the minimum scale OF wages
shall consist OF 35 cents per hour from
September 5 until May /, 1900. Time and
one-hal shall be allowed on all overtime,
double time Sunday work. New Years day,
Decoration day, Fourth OF July, Thanksgtv-
ing day, Christmas day, or days celebrated
for the foregoing. No work shall be al
lowed on Labor day. II two shifts OF men
are employed the same men shall not be al
lowed 10 work on more than one shift under
any circumstances, and six hours shall con-
stitute a night shift. and the wages for
such six hours shall be equivalent to eight
hours during day. Every journeyman car
penter shall receive his pay in full each
week on Saturday noon, but in case Of dis
charge he must be paid at once on the job
or waiting time paid. The contractors are
not allowed to lump, pieceout or sublet any
OF their carpenter work. neither shall any
journeynan who Is a member OF any assoc
citation represented in the local union be
permitted to take plecework in any shape
or manner.
The carpenters will hold a special meet
ing this afternoon in Labor temple at 2;3O
o'clock.

Of the last few days has proved quite a
drawing card for the exposition and Mid
way. Not only have the city people taken
advantage OF the change, but strangers are
beginning to be more numerous and yes
terday all day and evening there was one
OF the largest crowd OF the season on the
grounds.
And, by the way. the condition OF the
weather has a great deal OF influence on
the money spenders. Hot days have a de-
pressing effect on the pocketbook, as well
as the system, but with the beginning of
the cool fall days the concessIonaires will
have cause for rejoicing and the good bust
ness of the last few days has already been
felt with the more reliable attractions.
The Artists Studio seems to be forging
20 the front as the most sensational fea-
