QUESTION ANSWERED

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers, and grandmothers,
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors we're
scarce, and they seldom heard of Appep-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution or Heat
failure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
ton of undigested food aegulate the &C
ton of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and orgonic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of Green's

you satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. Sample bottles at

From the DISPATCH
There was a pretty savage mix up of
teams, lumber wagons and carriages at
the corner Of Third and Main streets
Tuesday forenoon that at one time
looked far more serious than it really
was. Jos. Fosters team took dash
on It's own account with a lumber wagon
from come place III the vicinity of the
stock yards, ran south on Third street,
turned the corner and started east on
+ Main street. Right here the trouble COM
menced. One Olsen, a travelling man re-
turning from visit to his relatives in
the country, met the team and they
crashed right into his carriage, knocked
down one of his horses, overturned his
carriage, threw him out and then dashed
ahead, dragging one of Olsen's fallen
horses. Just then Neumann's delivery
wagon came down the street and got IN
to the mixup and horse driven by Miss
Mabel Knudson, with a carriage in which
was another young lady got into the
game with somewhat disastrous results.
Bystanders could see no other way for it
but that the whole mixup would have to
go straight up in tie air to get out of
the tangie and keep from hurting any
one, but there happened to be another
way out and the Foster team disentan-
gled itself after smashing Olsen's buggy,
scareing the young ladies out of a years
growth and frightening the driver of
Neumann's rig so badly that he will not
go out in the dark alone for week.. It
is the greatest wonder in the world that
MIR. Olsen and the young ladies were not
killed and the team that Olsen was driv.
ing ruined but the total damage was
few bruises for Mr.. Olsen, a smashed
buggy for the livery people, broken
strap or two for Foster and a bruise or
so for the horses. Mr.. Foster will pay
all the damages and nothing but un-
pleasant memories remain of the incl

agreed upon for vote, it may be ex-
pected that some of the friends of the
bill will speak in its defense.
The first speech Of the week will be
made Immediately after the close of the
routine business Monday morning, by
Senator Pritchard, on his resolution de-
claring the proposed amendments to the
constitution of North Carolina to be In
contravention of the federal constitution.
He will be followed by Senator Turner
in a prepared speech on the Philippine
question. Tuesday Mr.. Ross will ad-
dress the senate on the application OF
the constitution of the United States to
Puerto Rico and the Philippine arch1pel-
ago. He will be followed the same date
by McEnery with a speech on the North
Carolina constitutional question.
The two reports on the Quay contest
will be presented Monday or Tuesday,
and as this contest Is privileged ques-
ton 1t is not unlikely to receive early
attention. Senator Penrose, who Is IN
charge of Mr.. Quay's case, says he will
ask that the contest be pressed to an
early decision in the senate. The Sa-
moan treaty will also be taken up again
in executive session on the motion of
Senator Jones, Of Arkansas, to recon-
slider the vote by which 1t was ratified.
The treaty has already been returned to

BE Able to agree.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 21.-The negotia.
tions between the Wabash railroad Of
ficials and the committees sent here by
the trainmen to seek an advance in
wages have taken turn which may re-
suit in a serious crisis The men pre-
sented their claims several days ago and
have been waiting for a definite answer.
This it. seems, was not forthcoming as
soon as the committees believed it should
be and they summoned the chiefs of the
four great divisions Of employees. These
men came Thursday and spent the entire
day investigating the justice of the de-
msnds by the men. Afterwards as a re-
suit of long discussion they sent a mes
sage to General Manager Ramsey Of the
Wabash, asking for conference This
they say was not granted. The next
dent Ashley, of the Wabash, whose Of
fee is in New York, setting forth the
facts and asking him to grant a confer
ence. Mr.. Ashley's reply has been re-
ceived, stating that he would take the
request under advisement, but could give
no definite answer until he had com
| municated with Mr.. Ramsey

| of Locomotive Engineers, who acts as

| I'VE have always been careful and have
never supported the men in a claim
which was In the least unjust If We
had been granted conference the whole
