Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of S25 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

SCARCITY OF CARS.
They Are Needed to Handle Coal, which
is in Demand.

Auey arc NbeueN 10 OOhi3 WnlCn
is in Demand.
There is feature of the anthracite trade
that is becoming of interest to every one, and
that is the growing scarcity of cars in spite
of all the new supply that has been put in
service during the current year there is still
lack of transportation facilities which,
when the rush of trade comes in the fall
months, will make itself felt in no uncertain
manner. Many of the anthracite producers
have prophesied such a state of affairs, and
have tried to put coal forward to certain of
their stocking points in order to amello-
rate this condition as far as possible. Many
operators are also of the opinion that the
drifting away of the mining population
during dull times in the anthracite regions
will make scarcity of labor when the fall
rush for coal sets in. 1t is argued that both
these features will play an important part in
preventing an Over-supply of coal being
mined There are no stocking facilities at
the mines and cars to load are prime
necessity in anthracite production.

In consumption beware of cough mix
lures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. It is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain trace of any opiate, but stimu-
1ates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lungs to a
sound and healthy state which no other
remedy has ever been known to accom-
plish.

WRECK OF THE MAINE.

Disagreement as to whether the
Army or Navy Should Remove 1t.
7, New York, Nov. 3O.-A special to the
World from Washington says: Secre-
tary Long and Maj. Gen. Brooke, gov
ernor general of Cuba, disagree rs to
whether the army or navy should re-
move the wreck Of the. battleship
Maine in Havana harbor. Secretary
Long, when told that Gen. Brooke re-
CARDS the wreck as a menace to navi-
CATION and advocates its removal, sud:
The navy department has nothing
to do With removing the wreck. 1t is
purely q military matter and should
be done by the army engineers. If
Gen. Brooke wants it removed I do not
suppose there will be any objection"
At the war department it was said
no advices had been received from
Gen. Brooke regarding the Maine. He
is in favor of removing the debris and
recovering the bodies Of the hundreds
or more dead sailors by building a
huge caisson around the wreck. AZ
ter the recovery of the bodies Gen.
Brooke would either destroy the Maine
or raise it and tow it to some spot
where it could be visited by sightseers.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee claims there are yet
in the Maine more bodies than are
buried in the cemetery at Havana. He
favors taking out these bodies and
then destroying the wreck.

600 miners employed in the mines Of
the Diamondville Coal and Coke COM
pany at Diamondville, Wyo.. struck
for an increase in wages. Their de-
mands were refused by the company
and after a short shutdown opera.
lions were resumed with a small force
of non-union men. At an early hour
yesterday morning a mob of 300 wo-
men and girls, armed with guns,
knives, clubs and stones, marched to
the mines and compelled the operators
to flee. The miners at work were
dragged from the mines and also
driven away. Several were injured by
being struck with clubs, and man
was shot at, presumably by n of a
number Of strikers concealed near the
mines. The small force Of deputies
guarding the property of the company
was powerless. To-day it is expected
there will be more trouble when the
company attempts to resume. The
miners have been importing arms and
ammunition.
