tween the mob aud the troops, the strikers
using stones, bottles, and other missiles,
and the troops using their sabers and

with casually cases resulting from the
encounters. The employees of the gas,
electric light, and the water works of Ge-
neva, af,era prolonged discussion, Of the
strike situation, have decided TO con-

the morning, but they were easily sup

Several leaders of the strike, who were

TRAGEDY IN SCHOoLH0UsE. dis
patch from Grand Forks, n. d., says:
In a quarrel between school teacher
and the board of trustees at Altoona, a
little station on the Grand Norihern,
within seven miles of the Canadian line,
seven persons have been shot. One of
them is dead and the Others are dying.
The dead man is Henry Toews, school
teacher, who committed suicide. The
school is near a little village in the SET
tied part of the valley. The settlers are
all Mcnnoni,es. The school has been in
charge of Mennonite teacher named
Henry !. Toews. There has been some
dissatisfaction with the management OF
the school and this has led 10 a great
deal OF bad feeling in the community.
Three members Of the board of trustees
met at the schoolhouse during schcol
hours to talk over the trouble with the
teacher. Hot words we're exchanged,
and suddenly Toews drew his revolver
and shot down the three trustees. he
then rushed into the school house, where
he shot Trustee Kehler's two daughters
through the body. They will die. The
eleven-year-old daughter of Trustee
Rempt was then attacked, bullet stcik-
ing her in the arm, breaking the bone.
The suicide followed.

MEDICINAL.

It is q great affliction for woman to
have her face disfigured by pimples or
any form of eruptive disease. 1t makes
her morbid and sensitive, and robs her
of social enjoyment. Disfguring erup-
tons are caused by impure blood, and
are entirely cured by the great blood
purifying medicine-Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. II removes from the
blood the poisonous impurities which
cause disease. 1t perfectly and perman-
emily cures scrofulous sores, eczema,
tetter, boils, pimples and other eruptive
diseases which are caused by the blood S
inpurity. 1t increases the action of
the blood-making glands and thus in
creases the supply Of pure rich blood.
uFor about one year and half my face was
very badly broken out - writes Miss Carrie
Adams Of Ii6 West Main Street. Battlecreek,
Mich III spent a great deal OF money with doc
tors and for different kinds Of medicine, but re-
ceived no benefit. At last read one Of your
advertisements in paper, and obtained bottle
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Be-
fore had taken one bottle of this medicine
no.iced a change. and after taking three bottles
i was entirely cured. l can well recommend
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to any
one similarly afflicted"
The sole motive for substitution is to
permit the dealer to make the little

THE THREATEED COAL STRIFE.

The obstinate refusal of the anthra-
cite coal operators to confer with the
miners. as they were repeatedly asked
to do by the latter for the purpose of
discussing and seeking an adjustment of
grievances, had the result to have been
expected, in the decision of the miners
convention favorable to a strike. The
declaration of the convention is provi-
sional and there is still a possibility
that the threatened conflict may be
averted. 1t is manifestly the desire of
the officers of the United Mine Workers
to avoid a strike and they will ask the
assistance to this end of the National
Civic federation. They are showing an
earnest disposition to have the differ
ences amicably settled through a con-
ference with the operators, but 1t now
appears doubtful whether this can be
brought about
If the appeal to the Civic federation
shall fail of the desired result a great
army of labor, Upon which hundreds of
thousands Immediately depend for sub
blSlCuCtI II DS uiC IL thS SbIuSSAS
should be prolonged many industries
which use anthracite coal would suffer,
for the present supply of that fuel, it is
authoritatively stated, Is small. This
might mean idleness for a great deal Of
labor other than that engaged in coal
mining. The Industrial prosperity of
the country would be seriously affected
by the contest If it should be long main
tanned. Whether or not the grievances
of the miners are just and the demands
they make reasonable and fair we do
not know, but we think there can be no
question that in refusing to discuss
them in conference and thus endeavOr
to effect a p~eaceable settlement the
operators have made a great mistake.
They are taking a course which seems
pretty sure to array public sympathy
largely on the side of the miners, who
are employing every effort to bring
about an amicable adjustment Of diff
f%erences.

In discussing the commercial outlook

In discussing the commercial outlook
in the Philippines in a congressional
symposium, David Henry Mercer Of
Nebraska says: II found the city Of
Manila to be q very comfortable place
in which to live, though numerous i'm
provements are necessary. Some cap
italist will make a fortune in starting
an electric railway" Here is a broad
hint which Tom Blackburn should not
overlook. Electric railways in Douglas
county do not present brilliant pros
poets for the franchise broker, but an
electric railway franchise in Manila af-
fords an opportunity TO make a fortune
for a talented promoter which may not
present itself again for several genera
tons.
