 What to Do.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. kimers Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it. or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day. and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won- derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need medicine you should have the best.

A meeting of delegates from all the
local labor unions was held in the
Academy of Music last night to dis
cuss the strike at the silk mill. A num-
ber of the strikers were present and
outlined the conditions as seen by the
employees. The strikers committee,
which waited OH Mr.. Frleder to request
a raise in the wage scale, told of it's
visit.
The delegates were unanimous in
their decision to support the strike,
and, IL necessary, the members OF the
different unions will pay an assessment
for the benefit of the children. The
whole matterwas thoroughly canvassed
and plan of action outlined. The men
say that the demands made by the
strikers are very conservative, and that
they will lend their aid in every way
possible to see that the young people
get what they consider but their just
rights. A committee of fifteen was ap-
pointed. This committee, in company
with the strikers committee of five.
will wait on Mr.. Freder, superintend-
ent of the mill, tonight, in the en-
deavor to reach some settlement of the
difficulties.

G. w. SMITH BREATHEs EASIER
At Last Accounts a Truce Had Been
Declared Between Him and His
Housekeeper.


Housekeeper.
The troubles of George Washington
Smith and his former hOusekeeper,
Mrs. Blackmore, which have attracted
considerable attention of late, are just
now in state Of status QUO.
The first link of the endless chain
of woe for Smith was forged when
he took seriously some playful sug-
gestions of Mrs. Rlackmore that she
would burn his house and do other
things of the same mischievous ma
ture. So George hied himself to AL
derman Morrison and asked for war
rant for his amiable hOusekeeper. AT
this time it looked more than black
for Mrs. Elackmore and she shed
tears, not of repentance, however, She
passed Sunday very quietly, being at
home to her friends only in the city
hotel. under the chapercnage OF an
attendant in blue, with the expecta-
tion of having another try at JUS
tce on Monday afternoon. She had
plenty of time to reflect while enjoy
ing the hospitality OF the city and
before the hour came around to appear
before the Alderman. she had con-
rocted a plan to checkmatc her OPP
ponent. She swOre out q. warrant for
the arrest of George Washington and
his son and heir on charge of
adultery. When the plaintiff ap-
prared to press his charge against
Mrs. Rlackmcre. he was told that her
charge must take precedence. Smith
tried to beg the question. but the lady
in the case said nay. After a long
discussion both charges were with
drawn, the two parted. and the chap
ter is closed, for the present at least.
