Hon. David Meekison is we'll known,
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress
by very large majority, and is the
acknowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw married the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with Its insldious APP
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe. For thirty years
he waged unsuccessful warfare against
this personal enemy. AT last Pe-ru-na
came to the rescue, and he dictated the
following letter to DR.. Hartman as the
result:
II have used several bottles Of Peru

drawbacks and often affects their

charge of 8 large school entails. She
says:
During the winter OF 1898, while

W. B. Conkey. Of Hammond, Ind, de-
clares he will never tolerate union en-
ployes In his establishment.
Chicago Typographical Union, No. 16,
will be 80 years old in June next. Presi-
dent Colbert recently appointed COM
mittee to devise ways Of celebrating
the event appropriately.
The apprenticeship of molders in the
organization Of flint glass workers has
been extended from three to four years.
1t has also been agreed that regular
machinists may make repairs to molds
when the flint glass union Is unable to
furnish the men.
According to reports, wages continue
to decrease steadily in Great Britain.
Where a year ago wages were going
up, there Is now a steady decline, and
the number Of unemployed Is increas-
Ing. Much the same condition exists
OH the continent.
Since the close of the machinists'
strike the membership Of the interna-
tional association. with headquarters at
Washington, has increased from $4,000
to $4,000. During strike" said an
official of the union recently, 1--WE usu-
ally lose instead Of gain, and on that
account am the more surprised.
President Perkins, in his report Of
the vital statistics Of the Cigarmakers'
International Union, contributes some
remarkable facts, showing increased
longevity Of members Of his association
by reason Of the adoption of the eight
hour day, improved shop conditions,
and the increased comforts that en-
HANGED wages affords. From mortuary
records presented it Ii shown that the
average life of the cigarmaker for the
1O-year period ending in 1890 was 81
years and months, while for the Pc
Rod ending 1900 it was 43 years and q
months. an increase of six years. In
classifying the prevailing diseases from
which death was caused, there is sub
stantial decrease of lung complaints
and diseases Of like nature. In 1900
the cigarmakers paid in benefits the
sum of $41O 7O5. The membership num-
bers $4,000, and is in possession Of a
surplus of more than 100000.
