THE FIREMEN'S STRIKE
Miners Association Orders Firemen

these men had already deserted to join
their trades organization. This action
clearly defines the position Of the United

Iployees themselves and not with the
Operators. The United Mine Workers
have apparently followed one policy
and the stationary engineers another.
There are 10000 miners in the Wyom-
ling n Lackawanna region n only
labout 1,S00 firemen. If the coal com
lpanies can secure enough firemen who
are members Of the United Mine Work
lerS to do their work in the boiler rooms
there is nothing to prevent them from
starting up their collieries.
The hosting engineers at a meeting
lin this city today voted to stand with
the firemen in their struggle, and the
engineers employed at collieries where
non-union men are at work were re-
lquested to quit their posts.
At the offices of the SusQuehanna Goa
company, it was stated that nearly al
their firemen had returned to work and
THAT they were able to run their col
l~lieries in good shape today. They e
lpect to resume work at their Glen Lyon
mines tomorrow .
An official statement was issued from
the headquarters Of the striking fire
men this evening to the effect that the
situation looks very favorable, reports
from all parts of the state showing the
men holding firm and the ranks being
increased gradually.

OF THE LONG Ct
Copy of a War Extra Issued by the Old
Wilmington journal

The enterprise Of Wilmington news
papers in issuing extras seems to date
back to the sixties. Professor Wash

Wilmington Journal. The extra was
found among papers belonging to the
late Colonel T. C. McIlhenny, and is as
follows:

ON VERGE OF INSANITY.
Mrs. r. A.. Deacon Tells of n Case
Where n Lady Was iu This Seri-
GUS Condition. Rut Was Saved.

East Randolph, N. Y, March IL
(Special.)-Mrs. F.. A. Deacon OF this
town is Vice President of the local
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
She is a lady of splendid capabilities,
and these she has always directed to-
wards the uplifting of humanity. What
Mrs. Deacon says is accepted in East
Randolph without question. No one
has ever doubted her truthfulness or
honesty of purpose.
Mrs. Deacon says: My attention
was first called to the remarkable cur
atiye value of Dodd's Kidney Fills,
through the cure of a literary lady who
was a friend of nine, and who from
mental overwork was on the verge of
insanity. After the failure of her
physician TO help her. her husband was
advised to have her try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, which she did with gratifying re-
suits. She used five boxes before she
was completely cured, but at the end
of two months treatment she was her
own happy, brilliant self once more.
Feeling languid and worn out my
self, / thought perhaps they would be
a help to me, and l am very glad to
say that two boxes made a new Wo-
man Of me-. l feel ten years younger,
am in the very best of health, and APP
preciate that it vas entirely through
the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. / give
them highest Endorsement"
These cases are becoming very COM
mon in Cattaraugus county, and many
ladies have had experiences similar to
those of Mrs. Deacon and her friend.
What Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for these suffering women, they Will
do for anyone who gives them a fair
trial.

SUGAR WAR ENDING.
Harmony Restored Between the Ar
buckles and the Trust.

harmony hestOFtt ~ ~
buckles and the Trust.
New York, March 10-There is hard
~ any doubt in Wall street now that
the Arbuckles and the American Sugar
Refining company have come to an
understanding and that harmonious
relations will continue from now On.
though there Is no talk Of any CONSOLE
dalton. According to n of the best
authorities, the latest development
and one that is a sure indication OF a
better understanding among the re-
fners. is the new method Of selling
sugars adopted by h e Arbuckles.
When the warfare between the re-
iners was at it's height large numbers
of retailers were sold to direct, instead
of being compelled to buy from the
wholesalers. The Arbuckles are now
cutting off this trade and have done
so in New England, and 1t is expected
hat other refiners will do likewise.
Under the new plan the purchaser
must wait the sixty days for the 10
per cent. while the trade discount VIII
be paid by the New England whole
ale grocers' association, instead OF
being paid by the refiners.

London, March 10.-A crisis has ar
rived in far Eastern affairs which in
the opinion Of the British governmen
is graver almost than the troubles
which originally turned the eyes Of
the world toward the Orient. In this
crisis secret negotiations are going on
between the United States and Great
britain with a view of thwarting what
both governments appear TO consider
a determined attempt upon the part of
Russia to plant herself permanently in
n or the richest tracts of the Chi
nese empire.
The conference held Wednesday be-
tween United States Ambassador
Choate and Lord L~ansdowne had moth
Ing to do with the Nicaraguan canal
affair. To quote from a British official
the Nlcaraguan controversy was a
minor matter compared with the pres
ent situation" What Mr.. Choate did
was to receive from Lord L]ansdowne
r. diplomatic message declaring that
Great britain was not satisfied with
Russia's explanation as regards Man
churia delivered TO Sir Charles Stuart
Scott, British ambassador at St. Pc
tersburg, by Count Lansdorff, and
asking il the United States was
Prepared to Take Steps
Of such a decisive nature that Russia
will have no alternative but to receds
from her position, Almost simultane-
ously, the Associated Press under
stands, the United States government
instructed various ambassadors TO
take similar steps. The answer OF
Secretary Hay has apparently not yet
been received in London, although the
TACT tina almost concurrent instruc-
lions We're issued from Washington
are taken to be sufficient guarantee
that l~tussia's actions in Manchuria
will not be tolerated by the United
States. Japan, 1t is understood, is
ready TO lake sides with the United
States and Great Britain. Germany,
In spite of the Anglo-German agree
ment, is regarded as rather doubtful
owing TO Emperor Williams friend
ship for the car. France, of course,
will side with her ally. The signih-
canoe of the present phase can only
be appreciated by those cognizant OF
the lethargic attitude of the British
government hitherto regarding
Russian Action i'm China.
Within the last few days all this has
changed. What a week or two ago
was pronounced only in line with
Russia's useful policy is now termed
"a grave and serious state Of affairs"
Lord L~ansdowne is using every effort
to bring the powers into line in order
to present to Russia such a menaCing
front hat without any ambiguity re-
garding temporary or other occupation
she may give up all designs upon
Manchuria.. What prompts the Brit
ish foreign office to take such an
alarmist view OF circumstances usual
Iy looked upon as fatalistic sequence Is
the apprehension that Russia, having
held her own in spite of the protest Of
the ministers of the powers, with the
Chinese government, n having put
herself on record In the reply to Sir
Charles Scott as determined at least
on a temporary occupation Of Man
Churia, will refuse to back down. That
she shall do so Lord Lansdowne con-
sriers vital for the future Of China and

cert of the powers.

Hon. David Meekison is well 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-ifth Congress
by a very large majority, and is the
acknowledged leader of his party in his
section Of the State.
Only n flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only un]conquered 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 DIR.

Many people can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness,
a slight cough, a cold in the head, or a
trifiing arrangement of the digestive
organs, do not much disturb the aver
age person in his business. But this is
not true of the public speaker or stage

of Highwood many of them became
drunk and fights among them were
numerous. Frank Hughey' a private y,

Is now said to be in a serious cohoi-

the residents of the village were com
