traction tower wagon was moved out of
the barn this afternoon. and two hours
were spent in repairing trolley wires.
The heavy force of guardsmen and the
stringency of the protective measures
seemed to awe the crowds that surged
around the outer skirmish line and there
was no disorder. The soldiers were jeered
and derldcd. but no one offered them vio-
lence. The city is quiet at midnight.
Both the strikers and the railroad peo-
pie claim that there has been no further
attempt at negotiations for 8 settlement.
The company says that it will proceed
to move cars tomorrow under the guard
of soldiers, and Gen. Roe. in command
of the troops, says he will assist to the
best of his ability with his 200 troops.

The Condition of the Main Thorough-
fares of the city is Simply Dis
rracPfui

To call the attention Of the general pub
Tic 10 the condition of the principal streets
of this city would be supSrfiuoua Every
body knows the disgraceful situation. And
everybody would like to have some rem
edy applied.
Yesterday Market. Main. Twelfth. Four
teenth, and. in fact. all the streets in the
business part of town, reeked with LIQUID
mud from quarter Of an inch to two
inches in depth, and yet the gentlemen
of the Board Of Public Works made no
further effort to correct the nuisance than
to put a few scrapers to work in out-of-
the-way places, where they did no par
ticular good
The conditions were prime for the use
of the streetwashing hose. and the gang
might have been ordered out last night,
with the certainty that they would have
received something akin to an ovation at
the hands of be-draggled and be-spat-
tered public-but they didn't put in an
appearance.
And as a result to-day will be a repe-
tition of yesterday unless a kind Provi-
dence sends along little frost and the
mud is solidified and thus rendered some
what less obnoxious.
Main street, yesterday, from Twelfth
south, was particularly disgraceful, and
its condition was a frequent source OF
comment by business men The bricl.
paving was hidden under a mass Of filth.
and no matter where one attempted to
cross the street or alight from a car, he
was sure to have to simply wade to the
sidewalk
The Board of Public Works has money
available, for the three months appro-
priation ordinance has passed Council.
and it certainly would appear reasonable
that it could afford to send out the hose
gang for two or three nights and some
what ameliorate the condition Of the gen
eral public. VIII Clerk Hornish and su-
perintendent Britt take these mild re-
marks kindly and do the proper thing?
II they will they will add rneasurably 10
their popularity and materially increase
their standing in public estimation.

CHANGE or CLIMATE


Catxrrh.
The popular idea that the only
cure for chronic catarrh is a
change of climate, is mistake be-
cause catarrh is found in all eli
mates in all sections of the coun-
try; and even il a change of cli-
mate should benefit for a time the
catarrh will certainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured in
any climate, but the only way to
do it is to destroy or remove from
the system the catarrhal germs
which cause all the mischief.
The treatment by inhalers.
sprays, powders and washes has
been proven almost useless in
making permanent cure, as they
do not reach the seat of disease,
which is in the blood and can be
reached only by an internal rem
edy which acts through the stom-
ach upon the blood and system
generally.
A new discovery which is meet
ing with remarkable success in
curing catarrh of the head, throat
and bronchial tubes and also ca
tarrh of the stomach, is sold by
druggists under name of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets which are pleas
ant and harmless to take owe their
efficiency to the active medicinal
principles of Blood Root, Red
Gum and new specific called
Guaiacol, which together with val
liable antiseptics are combined in
convenient, palatable tablet form,
and as valuable for children as for
adults.
Mr.. A. R. Fernbank, of Column
bus, Ohio, says: l suffered so many
winters from catarrh that l took
1t as a matter of course, and that
nothing would cure it except a
change Of climate, which my bus
mess affairs would not permit me
to take.
My nostrils were almost always
clogged up, had to breathe
through the mouth, causing an
infiamed, irritated throat The
thought of eating breakfast often
nauseated me and the catarrh
gradually getting into my stomach
took away my appetite and diges-
ton.
My druggist advised me to try a
fifty-cent box of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, because he said he had so
many customers who had been
cured of catarrh by the use of these
tablets, that he felt he could hon
eStly recommend them. | took his
advice and used several boxes with
results that surprised and delight
ed me.
| always keep a box Of Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets in the house and
the whole family use them freely
on the first appearance of cough
or cold in the head.
With our children we think
there is nothing so safe and reli-
able as StuaTt's Catarrh Tablets
to ward off Group and colds and
with older people | have known
of cases where the hearing had
been seriously impaired by chronic
catarrh cured entirely by this new
remedy.

A Brief Session,

The Benwood Council was in ses-
sion only two or three minutes last
evening and consequently adjourned
without transacting any business. 1t
is learned that the committee on or
dinances met previously to consider a
proposition from the Wheeling Trac-
ton Company regarding a change in
the tracks in the central portion of
the city, but failed to reach an agree
ment in the matter. The new ordi-
nance was presented yesterday by the
company's representative to Chairman
Gately, of the Council committee. 1t
is expected that the question will come
up at the next Council meeting.
