ChicaEO's Labor Troubles.

Chicago, March 13. = The Building
Trades Council at a meeting refused to
order a general sympathetic strike at the
request of the officers of the Machinists'

the council. and labor men say the failure
to support its strike probably will lead to

nell of the union declined to discuss the
councils action and declared the ma
chinists will continue on strike until their
demands have been granted. This is
said to be the first time in Chicago for
many years that a strong labor organiza-

strike when it was believed that the de-

GRIGGS WILL RESIGN.
The First and the Only
Break in the Cabinet-Chinese
Question Considered.

Washington, Nov. 17.-At the cabi'
net meeting yesterday Attorney-Gen-
eral Griggs informed the president
and his colleagues that after mature
elaboration he had concluded that it
would be impossible for him to re-
main a member of the cabinet o the
next four years. This vas the first
definite response from any members
to any of the presidents wish ex-
pressed at the last cabinet meeting
that all of the portfolios should re-
main in the same hands during the
coming administration. The resigna-
ton of the attorney general will not
take effect until March 4 next, and it
is thought at present that all the 9TH
er members, with the possible excep-
ton of the secretary of war, will re-
tain their present positions.
The Chinese question was the main
topic of discussion. Secretary Hay
brought with him several ~communica-
tions bearing upon the question that
had come to the state department.

DEPARTMENT DISCONTINUED.
General Order of Col. Whiteside i'm
distinguishing Command Com
p~Iimenting Soldiers.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 17.-Un1er
general order 131 the Department of
Eastern Cuba was discontinued
Thursday. Col. Whiteside, in his final
orders, relinquishing the command of
the department, expressed his salts
faction at the soldierly conduct of the
troops, officers and men, and their
faithfulness in the performance of
duty. He specially mentioned the fact
that no officer or man had sought or
received more than the regulation pay
in return for the performance of duty
in the island.
In conclusion the orders said that
there had been no betrayal of trust
and no infidelity to the high standard
of duty which should regulate those
wearing the uniform of the United
States. Col. Whiteside's tone in the
order is favorably commented upon
by Cubans and foreigners.
The new district headquarters were
established yesterday, Col. Whiteside
commanding. The Cubans continue to
express dissatisfaction at the change.

THE FRIEND OF THE SOUTH.
The President Said to be Opposed to
Legislation Looking to Reduce
ton of Representation.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE opinion
is growing among public men who are
in the confidence of the president hat
he will oppose any movement looking
to a reduction of the congressional
representation of the southern ate
o account of the charges of the dis
reimbursement of colored voters. The
president is said to be opposed to re-
viving i'll feeling, which he thinks
would be the result of a bill thus
touching the south's suffrage. He Las
been told from many sources, recent
ly, that an important element of
southern businessmen, manufacturers
and others, is at heart with the reoub-
licans, and that the neucleus OF a FIJI
ture revolution against existing poliIi-
cal methods in the south has been
securely established and should not be
dissipated by legislation that would
be regarded as sectional.
On account of the prcsrIcn5's atti-
tude there is a growing opinion that
legislation looking TO the reduc:iCn of
the southern representation, will not
Re pressed by party leaders in con
srcss. In this connection i: IS slin-
gested that any action taken with
reference to the suffrage of the south
in advance of the adoption of Il deli
mite policy in the Philippines might
throw some embarrassment in the
way of the proper disposition of the
citizenship rights of the Filipinos, and
moreover, it is felt that the govern
ment Las as much as it can deal with
now without getting into a contcn-
ton over domestic affairs.

The newspaper men are Ball, of
Clark; Organ. of Dent; Golden, of
Nodaway; Simmons, of Shelby; Nell
son, of Cooper, and Carter of Grundy.
The proofreader (the gentleman in
the newspaper Office who corrects the
editors e%rrors) is Murphy, st. Louis.
The Bar association will present
several important measures, and the
Equal Suffrage association of St.
Louis will ask for equal suffrage.
1t is not considered probable that
the coming session of the legislature
will take up the matter of the con-
g~ressional red~istricting of the state.
The census will hardly have been
tabulated sufficiently to warrant the
change. If a red~istricting is accom-
plished by the newly-elected members
of the legislature it will be at a called
session for this purpose later on. The
st. Louis Republic says on this sub
ject: prominent democratic politi-
clans over the state do not look upon
a redistricting with any great degree
of confidence. They believe it is good
policy, when that question does cone
up, &c provide for a congressman~st-
large from the state.

Mr.. Tucker telegraphed the con-

owing to the discovery of a defalca-

thereupon the comptroller appointed
him temporary receiver. The Off
Gals here consider it astonishing that
ii d~efalcation amounting to more than
the reserve of the bank could have re-
manned undiscovered for any length
of time, but they attempt to offer no
explanation, as Mr.. Tucker has not
yet furnished any details. The last
examination of the bank was made in
May last.

When a cheerful. brave and light-hearted woman is sud-
denly plunged into that perfection Of misery, the blues, it is
a sad picture.
1t is usually this way:
She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, expert.
enc1ng severe headache and backache; sleeps very poorly
and is exceedingly nervous.
Sometimes she is nearly. overcome by faintness, dizzi-
ness, and palpitation of the heart then that bearing-down
feeling is ~dreadfully wearing.
:, Her husband says, Now, don't get the blues You win
be all right after you have taken the doctors medicine"
But she does not get all right. She grows worse day by
day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She loses faith hope yanishes; then comes the morbid,
melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told
just what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some
information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to
accurately locate her particular illness.
- Mrs lr. Pin hd has relieved thousands of women from
just this kind OF trouble, and now retains their grateful
letters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has
rendered them. This same assistance awaits every sick
woman in the land.

Mrs. Winifred Allender's Letter.

DEAR MRS. feel it my duty to write
and tell you of the benefit 1 have received from your
wonderful remedies. Before taking Lydia e. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound, l was a misery to my
self and every one around me. / suffered terrible
pain IN my back, head, and right side, was very
nervous, would cry for hours. Menses would appear
sometimes in two weeks, then again not for three
or four months. I was so tired and weak, could not
sleep nights, sharp pains would dart through my
heart that would almost cause me to fall.
My mother coaxed me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's

please her I did so. The first bottle helped me so
much that continued its use. I am now well and
weigh more than I ever did in my life."-MRS.

that when, disheartened by such an
experience, the clergyman carried his
complaint to a higher authority in the

sion.

Town.
Edinburgh, N. D.. April 90. = Fire
wiped out the entire business portion
of this city yesterday. Property to the
extent of 100000 was burned and two
women persisted in the flames. Smoul-
dering ruins and burnt debris are all
that remain to mark the location Of
this heretofore prosperous village; en-
tire families are without homes and
many were compelled to spend the
night out Of doors. The food supply is
short and the homeless ones will I'M
dergo distress from hunger. Mrs. ia
cob Lindall, wife of former promi-
nent merchant, and a bride of but
few months, and Mrs. B. Bjerson, were
burned to death. They occupied rooms
in two-story building, and attempts
were made tc get to their apartments,
but without avail. The origin of the
fire was in the rear of Domstad Il Co.'S
drug store. and supposed to be from
spontaneous combustion. The Robert
son Lumber company lost it's entire
stock and buildings. Five general mer-
chandise stores, two drug stores, one
bank. two hotels. livery stables and
many other buildings We're burned.
Two elevators containing several thou
sand bushels of grain are also burned.
The railroad tracks are destroyed for
some distance and trains will be de-
layed.
