quite brisk this week, due to the
entering in at this market, of the

raised the price from 53l to S34 per
thousand pounds of cotton i'll the

The Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men has given notice of withdrawal
from the Federation of American Rail-
way Employees. The withdrawal of the
trainmen, it is said, will disband the

grievances which they have been I'M

failure of the federation to unanimous
ly sanction strikes, as is required by
the rules of the order.
1t is declared the firemen and teleg-
raphers have grievances in the east
which are serious. and that there may
be general disturbance as a result of
the Withdrawals which are effective
Jan. 16. The executive officers held a
meeting in Chicago Jan. 3, at which this
course was made necessary by a dis

The American Federation is composed
Of the following organizations: The

the Order Of Railroad Telegraphers and
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen-
1t is stated that another federation will
be formed composed of three of the or
CARNATIONS which have acted in al
lance and along progressive lines. It
is said the action taken at Chicago will

PIMPLES AND BoILS.
Are Caused by scrofulous Condition
of the Blood.

While not alarming in themselves
these eruptiOns of the skin are very an
nOying to persons of a sensitive nature,
and show decidedly by their telltale APP
pearance an evil condition Of the blood.
Scrofula in anw of its forms is as old
as antiquity. It has infested the blood
of humanity for ages, making its Ap-
pearance in swollen glands, bOils, pim-
pies, eruptions of the skin and scrofu-
lous sores
These diseases are constitutional and
should be met by constitutional rene
dies of known merit and effectiveness.
In Hyde's Bi Sulpho Tablets we have
a new and up-tO-date remedy, which is
certainly the safest if not the best pre-
paration sold today for the cure of
these blood disorders.
Unlike sarsap arillas and liquid blood
purifiers no secret is made of the in
gradients in Hyde's Bi-Sulpho Tablets;

Attorneys Meet to Plan Against Pro-
posed Tax Law.

Austin, Tex, Jan. "a meeting of
the general attorneys of nearly ali the
Texas railroads was held today here
for the purpose of considering what
line of action shall be taken by the
roads at the special session of the leg
islature, which is called on January
%, TO revise the tax laws of the state.
Under the provisions of the proposed
tax bill the railroads are to be taxed
1 per cent of their gross freight and
passenger earnings, as well as to pay
heavy franchise and property taxes.
The roads now pay 1 per cent tax on
their gross passenger earnings of the
Texas roads, which for the year 1899
exceeded S45, 900, 000 and should the pro-
posed tax law become effective, they
would have to pay an increase of not
less than $450,000 into the state treasury
each wear.

ORE OUTPUT ENORMOUS.
Railroads Unable to Furnish Sufficient
Cars at Leadvtlle.

Leadville, Col, Jan. 5-The tonnage
of the camp is still on the increase, and
the present production of 2,400 tons
daily could be increased $50 tons daily
if means of transportation could be Sc
cured. The railroads are besieged for
cars, but these are by no means equal
to the demand. It is hard to say where
this matter will end, as the production
is steadily increasing, and while lit
tie delay is anticipated right now by
mining men, they will expect in the
near future more cars to enable them
to increase their tonnage still more.
Never in the past ten years has the
new year opened more auspiciousiy,
and barring Unforeseen accidents, the
year 1900 will be a record breaker never
before dreamed of.
