HAND. Acro.. the porder.

When President Mckinley reaches
Eel Paso, in May. on his way to Cali
fornia, he will in all probability have
an opportunity of shaking hands with
the chief executive of the Mexican re-
public across the boundary line that
divides the United States from Mexico.
a telegram received at Ell Paso, Tex,
the other day from Congressman Stay
den of Texas gave assurance that Mr..
Mckinley would pass through Ell Paso
on the westward trip, and citizens at
once interested themselves in preparing
a suitable reception for him. says the
New York Times. 1t was decided
among other things that it would be
appropriate to invite President Diaz of
Mexico to visit the northern border Of
his dominions at that time to meet and
greet the president of the United States
in the center of the International
bridge that spans the Rio Grande river,
making the boundary line between the
country and Mexico.

GEN. cLINToN's oRDERBook
Interesting Revolutionary Relic
Found In Connecticut

Interesting Revolutionary Relic
Found In Connecticut.
The order book of General Clinton,
who commanded the American forces
at Morristown. n. j.. during the Revo-
luton, has been found at Woodbury.,
Conn, among the papers of Mrs. Su-
san B. Shrove, who died there recently,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The book contains the orders given to
the troops every day and the counter
signs given to the guards and sentinels,
all written in General Clinton's hand.
An account is given of the first court
martial of Benedict Arnold.
General Clinton was a member of
this first court martial and, as appears
from the memoranda in this book, act
ed as clerk of the court. The charges
against Arnold are given in full, as are
the proceedings during the trial and
the sentence of the court, which was
that Arnold should be reprimanded.
The charges against Arnold were the
allowing of privileges to the British
ships in the Hudson contrary to the
usages of war. After the reprimand
Arnold gave out important informa-
ton against the Americans.
An autograph letter written by
Daniel Webster in 1851 given to Thur
low. Weed and party as an introduction
to Samuel Goodrich, United States
consul at Paris, was also found among
Mrs. Shove's papers.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally one
looked.

One Very Common Cause, Generally ONer-
looked.
Headache is symptom, an indica-
ton of arrangement or disease in
some organ. and the cause of the
headache is difficult to locate because
so many diseases have headache as a
prominent symptom; arrangement of
the stomach and liver, heart trouble,
kidney disease, lung trouble, eye
strain or ill-fitting glasses all produce
headaches, and if we could always
locate the organ which is at fault the
cure of obstinate headaches would be
much simpler matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of
the eyes and in the forehead, the
cause is now known to be catarrh of
the head and throa' when the head
ache is located ia the back of the head
and neck it is often caused from Ca
tarrh of the stomach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most
common cause of such headaches and
the cure of the catarrh causes a
prompt disappearance of the head
aches.
There is at present no treatment
for catarrh so convenient and effect
i've as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new
internal remedy in <sablet form, COM
posed of antiseptics like eucalyptol,
guaiacol and blood root, which act
upon the blood and cause the elm
ination of the catarrhal poison from
the system through the natural chan
nels.
Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent
school teacher in one of our normal
schools, speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and eulogizes
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets as a cure for
them. She says: 81 suffered daily
from severe frontal headache and psin
in and back of the eyes, at times so
intensely as to incapacitate me in my
daily duties. | had SUFFERED from
catarrh more or less for yta's, but
never thought it was the cause of my
headaches, but finally became con-
WINGED that such was the case because
the headaches were always worse
whenever / had cold or fresh attack
of catarrh.
'.Stuart's Catarrh T2olets were
highly recommended to me as a safe
and pleasant catarrh cure and after
using few so cent boxes which /
procured from my druggists was
surprised and delighted to find tina,
both the catarrh and headaches had
gone for good.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at so cents per package,
under the guarantee of the propri-
etors that they contain absolutely no
cocaine (found in so many catarrh
cures), no opium ESQ common in
cheap cough cures), nor any harm
fui drug. They contain simply the
wholesome antisceptics necessary to
destroy and drive from the system
the germs of catarrhal disease.

THEY ARE FAR APART
Those Conferrees at Columbus
Whose Disagreement Means
a Lot of Trouble.
BOTH OF THEM SHOW THEIR HANDS
One shows a Demand for Less. the
Other for More, Wages, and
Other Things,

Columbus, O., Feb. 2-The opera
tors were taken unawares yesterday
in the joint conference, and forced to
make Il proposition TO the miners.
Never before i'll the history of the in
terstate agreement has this been done
The oyertures for settlement of the
wage question have invariably orig
later by countef-proposition from
mated with the miners, being met
the operators. For the first time this
precendent has been reversed, the min
ers by 4 clever bit of startegy having
forced the operators to take the initia-
tive. When a motion was proposed
ana adopted requesting the operators
TO present a proposition they were
tsken by surprise. They had not an
ticipated such move, and were there
Tore wholly unprepared for it.
Did Not Hesitate Long.
r. l.. Robbins, of Pennsylvania,
quickly came to the rescue, however,
offering a resolution that the present
scale, less 10 cents on the price of min
ing and corresponding reduction in
the wages of other labor. be adopted.
The resolution was put to a vote, re-
sulting in a tie, the operators voting
for and the miners against it. Under
the rules of the conference the motion
Vas lost, and after a protracted debate
Dn n question of parliamentary law
the resolution was referred TO the
scale committee. The miners claim,
however, to have won a victory in
this preliminary skirmish through an
admission on the part of the operators
that the reference of the resolution
to the scale committee did not COM
NIT the committee TO its consideration.
Demands the Miners Made.
The demands of the miners as out
lined by President Mitchell are for Il
general increase of 10 per cent. in the
price of mining, the adoption of scale
on the run-of-mine basis. a fat differ
entail between prices of machine and
pick mining. TO be uniform throughout
the competitive district, the operators
to check off the dues of members of
the organization. and all persons en-
ployed at the mines TO be required to
become members of the organization.
Prospects for Agreement Not Bright.
The prospects for an agreement are
not bright. and the negotiations prom
Use TO be protracted. Both the opera
tors and the miners are feeling their
way, endeavoring to secure some adj
vantage. There is little probability
that the opera tors will coIcede the de-
mands of the miners either for run-of-
mine basis or n uniform differential
for machine mining The question OF
an advance in the price of mining is
not seriously discussed, it being gen.
orally conceded that if an agreement
Is reached it will be upon q basis of
the present price.

EROS NEARER US THAN MARS

discoveries with regard to the new

found that the Harvard observatory
