At the Louisville (Ky.) session Of
the American Federation of Labor,
which meets in December several or
CARNATIONS will urge an agitation for
the passage of laws providing for the
compulsory arbitration Of labor dis
putes and a specially constituted court
of Cancellation. Such a plan has been
in operation in New Zealand for five
years, and in that time, although
there has never been day that there
has not been one or more labor dis
putes pending before the arbitration
court. there has not been strike or
lockout in the colony. The recent gi-
gantic strike of coal miners, as well
as other difficulties, is pointed to by
the advocates of compulsory arbitra-
ton as an example of the benefits OF
the plan. The principal objection
which has been made is that there
could be no means of compelling the
unions to obey the findings of the
court. To meet such objection 1t may
be stated that more than fifty unions
in New York city have become incor-
porated in the last year, and have
subjected themselves to the operations
of the laws and to control by the
courts. An appeal will be made also
to the various associations of employ
ers to assist in procuring the neces-
sary legislation, on the ground that
the adoption of such a system would
have the effect of establishing stand
ard rates of wages, hours and uniform
factory conditions in all trades.

Just as turpentine is produce from
certain pine and fir trees, amber WAS
generated from them in past ag2s. As
1t is FOSSILS found in the ground
it is called mineral. Oozing out OF
the trees, amber flowed to the roots
and lay there In large deposits. 1t
is found in large quantities on the
shores of the Black sea. Smokers like
pipe mouthpieces made of it and the
Chinese use much of it for making

There was never day so misty and
That the blue was not somewhere
above it.:
There is never a mountain top so
bleak
That some little flower does not love
1t.
There was never a night so dreary and
dark
That the stars were not somewhere
shining;
There is never cloud so heavy and
black
That it has not a silver lining.
There is never waiting time, weary
and long, So
That will not sometime have an
ending;
The most beautiful part of the land
scape is where
The sunshine and shadows are blend
ing.
Into every life some shadows will fall,
But heaven sends the sunshine Of
love;
Through the riffs in the clouds we
may, if We will,
See the beautiful blue above.
Then let us hope on, though the way
may be long
And the darkness be gathering fast;
For the turn in the road is little way
Where the home lights will greet us
at last

HELPED HE CHIEF.
How Loyal Engineer Did His Brother
Great Service.

Meadville, Pa, Nov. 12.-(SpeciaD-
The Loyalty of the Members Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
red in this city some days ago. which
emphasizes this feeling.
Frank J. Zeller. is Chief Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
No. 143. He is extremely popular
among his fellow railway men, and
one of the best known Engineers run
ming out of Meadville. When the an
nouncement.. was made short time
ago that Frank was pretty sick, 1t
caused great deal Of regret among
the boys. Soon he was missed from
his engine, having had to ''lay Off
on account of his back. A brother OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, who had been i'll with similar
symptoms, some time before, and who
had been pulled through, called to see
Mr.. Zeller, and in brotherly way,
took with him box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, the Remedy which had cured
him. He advised Mr.. Zeller to try
them, with the result that after seven
boxes had been used. he was entirely
we'll, and able to work.
In an interview Mr.. Zeller states:
II had suffered for four years with
this affection, being often kept awake
at night with pains, and at times I'M
able to work. l tried several Of the
advertised remedies, and found that
hey did me no earthly good. Finally,
member of our Order. who had been
cured of Kidney Disease by Dodds
Kidney Pills brought me a box, and
asked me to try them. l had little
faith in them, but as drowning man
grasps at straw to help him. so
took the Pills. l used seven boxes,
and am today as well and strong q
man as there is in Pennsylvania.
Naturally, Mr.. Zeller. feels very
grateful, and his complete recovery
has delighted his many friends. and
none more than the good Brother, who
feels that he was instrumental in saw
Ing the life OF the Chief.
Dodd's Kidney Pills never fail to
cure Kidney Trouble.

DAVIS GIVES UP BULLET.
County JAN Prisoner Finally Submits to
Operation.


County JAN Prisoner Finally Submits to
an Operation.
William Davis, alias Julius Linn
bach. the alleged notorious cracks
man doing time at the county Jail, was
operated on yesterday at the Moline
city hospital by DR.. Wyland for the
removal of a bullet from his face.
Davis is one of the gang of craftsmen
who were going to try their luck in
Moline. but who were stopped by Off
Ger Lee. who it will be remembere
had running fight with them. As a
result of the encounter Davis was
shot. Later he was sentenced to q
season of hard labor at the county
Jail. The bullet entered the right
side of the face below the eye aud
passed along the front of the face, GO
ing through the nasal bones and i'm
bedding itself in the bone directly I'M
der the left eye and very near the
eyetall, so that if it had passed six
teenth of an inch higher he would
have lost his eye sight. But as il
was, the bullet was lying so near the
eye that it was injuring his sight and
he wished to have it taken out. At
the time of the trial, although the
wound was painful, the prisoner
would not let the bullet be extracted,
as it could then be used in proof
against him if it was found out
that the bullet was the same calibre
as the ones used in the gun which
Lee used on the night of the fight.
