A LURKING DANGER.
The More Fatal Because its APP

What is illness? Is it something that
jumps at you like mad dog in the high
way? No. The bad things, the wastes.
the worn out stuff, the impurities, the
poisons are, when all is right, thrown of
by means Of the lungs, the bowels, the
kidneys, the skin. But when the first
three are bothered by indigestion and
dyspepsia, the skin has more work than
it can do. 1t becomes clogged. In
fiammation follows, the poison goes to
the weak spots and you are i'll. Keep
your system clean and strengthen the
weak spots by taking Calcura Solvent
and you are safe. You will not catch
cold If you are healthy otherwise, if your
digestion and kidneys are all right.
Calcura Solvent is the new medicine
discovered in 1898 by David Kennedy,
Physician and Surgeon, of Kennedy Row,

real thing on the market. The Law
against the adulteration of maple sugar
in Vermont does not affect the dealers
outside the state, who carry on an enor

either get the law repealed, which

or form into organizations whereby the
reputation of the state for first-class
goods can be maintained.

Caffery's Declinaton Forces the National Party
10 AdOpt New Plans.

Boston, Sept. 22.-At conference held
here yesterday by the National party
leaders the idea Of keeping presidential
ticket in the field was abandoned, and
Archibald M. Howe, who was nominated
for vice president, followed Senator CAT
fiery, the presidential nominee, in for
mally Withdrawing his candidacy
This was virtually made necessary
by Senator Cafferys declination, and the
failure to find anyone willing to stand in
his stead, and by the impracticability Of
perfecting an organization at this late
period in the campaign. Many, however,
will endeavor to save 1t from complete
collapse by nominating one presidential
electOr in states where the election laws
will permit this to be done, and where 1t
is believed that a sentiment in favor Of
such plan exists in sufficient degree to
make it worth the while.
The meeting was unanimous in the ex
preston Of a conviction that some means
should be adopted for furnishing the Vot-
ers who cannot bring themselves to sup
port the candidates Of either Of the great
parties an opportunity to make a protest
to this effect at the polls. The plan Of
nominating one candidate for presiden-
tial elector was adopted as the only
feasible solution Of the problem, but two
voices in opposition being heard when the
question was put to vote.
Resolutions were adopted embodying
the ideas Of those present on the futility
of nominating new ticket.

THE COAL STRIKE.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 25.-lnstead Of the
! expected clash between the troops and
! striking miners in the SchuylkilI region
yesterday, q peaceful calm pervaded The
region, and there was not the slightest
disorder for the soldiers to be called upon
to quel. In fact in all the districts Of
the anthracite coal fields the day was
extremely quiet, there being no demon
STATIONS whatever on the part Of the
strikers.
While the operators claim that num-
Der Of their employees returned TO Work
at the mines in the Schuylkill region, 1t
was early in the day evident that opera
tons did not assume the activity which
the mine owners had anticipated, and in
dications are that tonight Will find more
idle collieries than at any time since the
strike began.
The soldiers moved over the roads lead
ing to the collieries in Schyulkill county
from early morning, and thus afforded
protection to those DESTROYS Of return
ing 10 work No opposition was en-
countered, however and not very great
many awaited themselves Of the protec-
ton offered.
Last night both sides claimed that they
had made good gains. 1t seems, how
ever. from the most reliable reports re-
ceived here from the entire region, that
the strikers made net gain in point Of
numbers.
There were many stories afoat In re-
gard to the situation at the Lattimer
mines. The strike leaders asserted that
the colliery at that place was completely
tied up, but when representative OF the
Calvin ardee company, which owns
the mine, was asked about the situation
there, he said the colliery was running
along as usual and that only about 50
out # 100 employees had failed to go into
the slopes yesterday. The United Mine
Workers have been working hard to get
the Lattimer men to quit.
The most Of the other collieries in the
Hazleton district, which have not yet
been shut down entirely, reported that
their working force had been more or
less increased This the labor people de-
clare to be untrue.
There is not the slightest change in
the situation in regard to a settlement
of the labor war. Neither side has ap-
preached the other and there is moth
ing in view which would indicate that
anything will soon be done in that di-
rection. The United Mine Workers
are still dcvoting most Of their attention
to getting out the men, while the oper-
ators are doing the best they can with
their crippled forces.
