To the Republicans Of Tancy county:
Whereas, am told there is some un.
easiness among some OF my Republican
friends in regard 10 my political faith,
! desire to quiet all perturbcd minds on
that score by saying that am Repub-
lcan, that have not as yet surren.

will practice what preached In the
primary canvass, when | said was for
the whole ticket when made up, wheth.
or was on II or not.
Personally, ! am not in favor Of third
terms, whore many deserving men are
available; but what is TO be done about
II? Kick out Of the harness aud bolt the
ticket because the will Of the majority
crossed my personal views? NOT MUCH,
Nor |. ], Of my own free will elected
to be u Republican. assume the respons.
ibility incurred by the will Of the ma.
jori'y OF the Republican party, in coun.

sentatives of the anthracite coal mine
workers, were much impressed with
the views you expressed and the dam
gers to- the welfare of our country
from prolongation of the coal strike
that you so clearly pointed out. Con-
scious of the responsibility resting up
on us we have, after most
careful consideration g. decided
to propose IL resumption of coal min
ing upon the lines hereinafter sug-
geSted.
Confident of our ability to demon
strate TO any impartial tribunal the
equity of our demands for higher
wages and improved environment, we
propose that the issues eliminating in
this strike shall be referred to you and
a tribunal of your own selection, and
agree to accept your award upon all
or any of the questions involved. If
you will accept this responsibility, and
the representatives of the coal opera
tors will signify their willingness to
have your decision incorporated in an
agreement for not less than one year
or more than five years. as may be
mutually determined between them
selves and the anthracite coal mine
workers. and will pay the scale of
wages which you and the tribunal APP
pointed by you shall award, we will
Immediately call convention and rec
ommend resumption of work. upon
the understanding that the wages
which shall he paid are to go in effect
from the day upon which work is re-
sumcd."

neafness CANNOT be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have 4
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
f1ammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of 10 are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

lington Wednesday to pay fine of
$500. 80 days in Jail and the costs of
the prosecution. Judge Smythe i'm
posed the sentence. a Burlington eX-
change says she pleaded guilty, and
adds: The Shepherd woman appear
ed in court attired in an expensive
black velvet dress and did not seem
at all disturbed over the attention
she attracted. The little girl she at
tempted to entice away, and who has
been confined in Jail ever since the at
tempt was made early in the summer,
has been released. 1t developed that
the girl was not so much adverse to
being enticed as it first appeared.

special sidetrack to be stretched
from Fifteenth street to First street
is being laid by the ID. Il. l. & y. w.
along the tailrace in preparation OF
the winters shipping rush. The new
track is to lie just south of what will
be the second track for double track
system between Moline and Rock Is
land. and from it a series of tracks
will branch into the yards of the va
rious factories. The new sidetrack is
designed to permit the switch engines
to carry on their work without the
necessity of getting on either of the
main tracks which is to he left unob-
structed for the faster handling of
trains. Both Deere &, Co and the Mo-
line Plow company were seriously
hampered last winter by frequent de-
lays from the moving back and forth
of ears i'm process of loading. Cross
overs will now run to the shipping
platforms of these companies so
that it will not be necessary to inter-
rupt one while the switching of the
other is in progress. Three switch
engines will be kept at work during
the rush season commencing after
Jan. 1. This is the greatest number
of engines used here by the d. II. l d
\. w. here at one time, and is equal
to that used by either of the other
roads at their busiest time.
