FEAR TROUBLE IN LYKENs VALLEY
Strikers Threaten to Compel Nom
Unionists to Quit Work.

Harrisburg, Sept. 19.-TrOuDle Is
brewing in the Lykens valley region
between the union and non-union an
thracite miners over the refusal Of the
men at Williamstown to Join the strike.
The mine employees in the neighboring
towns of Lykens and Wiconisco are on
strike, and threaten to compel the
Williamstown men to quit work. A
meeting of the Williamstown men was
held last night, at which it was decided
to stand firm against any attempt on
the part OF the strikers to force them to
join the strike. Sheriff Reiff yesterday
swore in $50 deputies, who will act in
conjunction with a double force of
watchmen on duty at the Williams
town collfery.
meeting of strikers was also held
last night at Lykens, at which It was
resolved to stand firm for the demands
made by the miners union, and use
every honorable effort to induce the
Williamstown men to Join them. Or

Is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent Med


For an Editor to Recommend Patent Med
icines?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. c..
1t may be question whether the editor
of a newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend any of the various proprietary
medicines which flood the market, yet
as a preventive of suffering we feel 1t
duty to say good word for Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy. We have known and used this medi-
mine in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In many
cases dose of this remedy would save
hours of suffering while a physician is
awaited. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for cure, but
we do believe that if a bottle of Cham
berlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the incep-
tion of an attack much suffering might
be avoided and in very many cases the
presence of physician would not be re-
CURED. At least this has been our exper-
fence during the past twenty years. For
sale everywhere. Bobbitt-Wynne Drug CO.,
and H. T. Hicks, druggists.

cause no one was on hand to SELL Most
of the board members were out of town
for holiday, confident that nothing that
could occur would induce any sudden ac-
tivity to develop. Some desultory efforts
were made to advance Union Pacific by
making bids for the next dividend on
specified number of shares at higher
figure than the prevailing dividend rate.
But these efforts secured little attention.
The market was as a whole lower than
last night when the bank statement ap-
peared. There was some light buying TO
cover shorts, but the large increase In re-

New York money lenders are anxious

that uncertainty in the stock market is

New York, July 1.-THE sole interest
attaching to today's stock market was
as an example of dizziness. In that re-

uncertainty and lack of conviction. Even
the professional traders who have con-

evidence and only small trades between

TO CLEAR AWAY THE DEBRIS

GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. 19-Normal
conditions are fast being restored in Gal
weston. The work of clearing the streets
of debris continues undated and all re-
lief work is now thoroughly systematized
Several human bodies were found today
No attempt was made to identify them
and they were Immediately cremated.
s John Sealey, the chairman of the
finance committee, made the following
statement today: AN inquiry as to
funds rs pertinent, and the public should
be informed In the first place I am not
paying out any money to any one except
on the order of VIM. A. McVitie, chair
man Of the relief committee. What we
are looking after now is the immediate
relief Of those In distress, such as fur
nishing clothes, food and the payment of
men who are working on the street clear
ing up the debris and burning dead bod
les On the 18th inst. we began paying
these men $3.50 a day and furnishing
supplies for their families Men who are
not working and who cannot show that
they have been employed, get no sup
plies.
Everything is working with perfect
system, tremendously and intel,igently,
between the officials and the different
committees. The governor has aided us
greatly with his zeal and interest IN our
trouble
The report that Miss Clara Barton is
i'll and that she has been compelled to
leave is an error; she is indisposed,
though not seriously so, and she remains
in her room; but she is directing the work
of her assistants A system has now
been inaugurated, and the work is pro-
crossing smoothly in conjunction with the
local relief committee. The Red Cross
society has arranged to use the ware
houses at Twenty fifth and Strand as q
supply depot and office Herbert Tai
madge, of Miss Barton's staff, will super
wise the shipments of supplies.
Al a meeting of the general relief COM
mittee, no one was found who would un-
dertake the job of removing the city's
debris on contract, as all state it would
be impossible to make a definite estimate.
The nearest estimate exper- wreckers viii
make is that it will take 1000 men ninety
days to clear away the debris and get
all Of the bodies out, and that will cost
$500 coo. The board adopted resolution
stating that it was the opinion of the
board that the best way to solve the
problem of clearing away the debris was
to let contract to some one to do this
work. They recommended to the general
committee that this be done.
