In Davenport.

In Davenport, where the carpenters
are contending for the same conces-
sions as demanded here. the build
ing contractors have notified the work
men that if they do not resume work
tomorrow morning steps will be taken
to fill their places. President Hugo
Struck, of the Carpenters union. states
that there will be no yielding to the
contractors demands. He further
declares the union will call out the 40
carpenters that it admits are still at
work in that city, but are claimed to
be sympathizers, and are only wait
ing for the con- FACTORS to take an un-
compromising attitude before they
walk out. So, Mr.. Struck SAYS, the
strike in Davenport will be general to-
morrow.

men BACK AT WORK,
Majority of Builders Agree to
Carpenters New
Scale.
CONTRACTORS HOLD A MEETING
Favor Proposed New Working
Conditions.-Situation in
Davenport.

The differences between the union
| carpenters and contractors were prac-
tically settled today, when the EN-
ployes of several of the firms returned
to work under the conditions pre-
scribed by the new scale-an S-hour
work day and minimum wage of %
cents per hour. The men have been
out Just one week.
The carpenters agreed to the strik
ing from the scale the clause to which
the contractors most objected-that
giving to the Tri-City Building Trades
council voice in the adjustment of
differences arising between employer
and employee. Otherwise, the scale
stands as originally presented.
The meeting of the Contractors as
sociation at Turner hall Satur-
day night, according to reports,
was rather stormy affair.
Davenport and Moline builders
were present by invitation, but it
is said the Davenport contingent left
the meeting. expressing displeasure
at the disposition manifested by The
Rock Islanders, who seemed anxious
for an adjustment with their work
men, rather than a continued lockout
on the eve of busy building season.
1t was voted by the meeting that
those of the mem bers of the associa-
lion so desiring be permitted to sign
the carpenters scale. The following
builders reemployed their men today:
P. Trenkenschuh, Aaron Anderson,
Heidemann & Schroeder, John Konos-
ky, George Bick. Gus Hammerquist,
r. G. Hudson. Charles Tom, John
Bleuer, NJ. Hohenbocken. 1t is
thought the other contractors of the
city will sign the scale before the week
is out

AWFUL CONDITION OF INDIA.
10 Less Than Ten Million Natives Practl-
caI1y starvIng-Donald smeatOa De-
scribes the situation.

London, April 16.-Nothing but the
absorption of the public interest by
the war prevents the terrible cond;-
ions now prevailing in India from Gre
ating a tremendous sensation. At the
present time no less than 100000
natives are practically starving and
wholly dependent on government re-
lief for the means of sustaining life.
Donald Smeaton, member of the
vice regal council, who recently re-
turned from tour in the central and
western part of India, describes the
situation thus: For hundred of miles
not single stalk of corn or even dry
stubble was seen, nor yet blade of
green pasture. There was no water
except in the larger rivers and
streams. The deepest tanks and res
ervoirs, which have never been known
to run dry, are now dry as a rock.
The whole country is now one vast,
bare, brown, lonely desert, where in
ordinary seasons one may see the
busy threshing floors studded all over
with heaps of grain"

killed. The telephone wires were
broken by the wind and all attempts
to reach Sedgwick City, Putnam,

Englewood branch of the Santa Fe
railroad, it is reported that a strip of
country five miles long was swept by
a storm about six o'clock and several
farmhouses, barns and other buildings
blown down.

Either National Convention.

Tucson, Ariz April 5.-Ex-Senator
John j. Ingalls,. who has been spend
ing the winter in Tucson for the ben
eft of his health, has lost none of his
old-time sharpness of tongue or keen
interest in matters political. Con-
corning the Dewey candidacy, when
interviewed here, he said:
It is unfortunate for the fame of Dewey
that he did not remain indefinitely at Ma :
Mia. The perspective was greatly to his
advantage, and distance lent enchantment
to the view. He was hero at Manila, bur
ever since he landed in New York the
bran and sawdust has been running out
of him. Everything he has said and done
has sunk him steadily in public estima-
ton. All his utterances have beeen cheap,
weak and silly, and his conduct has been
feeble and vacillating to the edge of i'm
beciIity. Somebody has bunkoed the adj
miraI His candidacy is ridiculous His
ignorance of politics and public issues
and public duties is pathetic. He will
not receive a vote in either convention
The presentation of his name would pro-
woke inexhaustible laughter and dGriston.
What the admiral needs above everything
else at this time is a course of inStruc-
ton in the noble art of taciturnity.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
