The strike leaders are preparing to
take the Steel Trust into the courts
on the charge of violating the law
preventing employers from discharg-
ing employees because they belong to
labor unions. They may as well save
their time and money. In the first
place, no man can by law be prevented
from discharging from his employ any
man whom he does not want to work
for him, for this would be against
common sense. In the second place,
it is utterly useless for a company of
poor iron workers to win any such
case against a billion-dollar company
in the courts of Pennsylvania or of
any other State.

The Atlanta Constitution CT We'd
nesday says: George W. Bowly, a
well-known travelling salesman of
Atlanta, had a narrow escape from
drowning in Hawthorne's pool, at
Tallulah Falls, yesterday. Mr.. Bowly's
experience was thrilling in the extreme.
He lost his footing on a slippery rock,
and, falling over cliff, plunged down
ward into the water, distance of 25
feet. He bravely swan to the side
of cliff, however, and after peril
Gus climb up the almost perpendicular
wall, he again reached a place of safety.
The little daughter Of Mr.. Bowly
accompanied him to the pool and was
terrified spectator of the accident.
She witnessed the plunge of her
father over the cliff, and never left the
scene until he made his appearance
from the pool. Mr.. Bowly visited the
pool for the purpose of fishing"
Mr. Bowlyis cousin off. Hayward
Bowly, of Shepherdstown, and recent
ly spent several days here.

The present seems a good time to
make an example of the fool who rocks
boat in deep water. 1t appears that
the young men in the lake at Pen-Mar
willfully upset the boat in which they
were rowing with couple of girls,
and bright young life went out like
the shutting of a candle. 1t is a clear
case against the men, and they ought
to be punished. If they were sent to
prison for a term of years it is quite
probable that there would be less in
diligence in this particular form Of
idiocy.

A FEW weeks ago four hundred
school teachers, male and female, set
sail from San Francisco for the
Philippines, where they are under
contract to our government to teach
the young Filipinos. The teachers
seem to have put in full time counting
on the way, for report comes from
Honolulu that by the time they had
gotten that far no less than thirty
couples had agreed to get spliced. 1t
is probable that by the time Manila is
reached there will be no Jack without
his Jill.
We don't know whether this may
be regarded as encouraging an infant
industry or not.

EX-SENATOR CHANDLER has prop
osition to destroy the trusts. AS it
is to be operated by the Republican
party, however, it is not well to ex-
pect too much of it. The Republican
policies have built up the trusts, and
they will never undo their work while
present circumstances continue. The
man who would have downed the
trust was beaten out of his boots twice
when he was candidate for President
on the Democratic ticket.

The town of Pierce City, Mo-, has
been the scene of fierce strife the past
week. A party of disreputable ne
groes wantonly murdered Miss Gazelle
Wild, after mistreating her horribly,
and the community was crazed by the
awful crime. One Of the negroes was
caught and lynched, and the mob has
driven every colored person from the
town with orders never to return.
Their houses were burned and they
are to be exterminated More lynch
ing may follow.

THERE seem to be as many downs
as there are ups in the experience of
the average Spectator. A few months
ago George E. Phillips, the nervy
young Chicago plunger, was envied
by good many persons because of
the magnitude and success of his oper-
ations in the stock markets. Today
he is bankrupt. 1t is not given to
many persons to get rich all at once
and to still fewer to stay rich with
money made in that way.

There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address,

Hundred Year Clubs

Are becoming numerous. The idea is to
promote longevity. 1t is interesting to
note, that the means through which long
life is to be obtained, is food and the stom-
ach. Long life and good health are not
possible unless the stomach does its work
properly. There is way to make it, if
IT does not. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is an ideal strength restOrer. If you
would be cured of dyspepsia, indigestion,
belching, constipation, insomnia, ner-
vousness. biliousness, try the Bitters.
Everybody should try it to help nature
rid the blood of all impurities. 1t pos
sesses valuable curative properties, and
as a specific for malaria, fever and ague,
it is unequalled. Don't fail to give it a
trial, but be sure you get the genuine.
