it he is almost entirely cured

A Typical S outh African Store.

Q: R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays
Riverr, Cape Colony, conducts a
store typical of South Africa, at
which can be purchased anything
from the proverbial "needle to an
anchor" This store is situated in
a valley nine miles from the near
est railway station and about twen-
ty-fve miles from the nearest town.
Mr.. Larson says: 81 am favored
with the custom of farmers within
a radius of thirty miles, to many of
whom 1 have supplied Chamber
lain's remedies. All testify to their
value in household where a doc
tors advice is almost out of the
question. Within one mile of my
store the population is perhaps six
ty. Of these, within the past p
months, no less than fourteen have
been absolutely cured by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This must
surely be record" For sale by

thracite coal strike is settled at last. A
commission of six persons, with sew
enth-Carroll D. Wright-as recorder,

Railroad Conductors, as a sociologist.
The president added Bishop Spalding, of

both miners and Operators. Assent of
the miners was given through President
Mitchell and Mr.. Sargent, Commissioner
of Immigration, and of the operators
through Messrs. Robert Bacan and Geo.
w. Perkins, of the Banking firm of J. P.
Morgan & Co.

Washington, Oct. I5.-It is understood
that at the conference with the president,
Mitche11's main objection to the accept
aHce of the proposition of the operators
was the limitations placed upon President
Roosevelt in the matter of the selection
of the arbitration commission. He was
especially opposed to the restriction linz
iting the selection of Federal judge to a
particular Jurisdiction. It is understood
that the miners are willing to waive the
technical recognition of the union, as they
will get recognition of the union of the
general situation that exists in the an
thracite region.
1t is considered likely that the propo-
sition will go back to the operators with
request that the restrictions in the ap-
pointment of a commission be withdrawn
IN order that the president may have a
free hand in choosing the commission

Congressm, ,ars. Arson G.. Nc
Cook, weMoyoLr an Lessler and
Littauer, and Senator Platt were a.
mong his callers. To one of these
the governor said:
"The coal operators may post
pone this matter until Tues
day, but 1 don't propose to post
pone. They are not acting fairly
with the people. I believe l shall
get somesremedy."
About 5 o'clock John Mitchell,
accompanied by M. L. Hammer
ling, Of Willkesbarre, called. and
had long conference. While this
was going on dispatch announcing
that the operators refused to consid-
er the terms offered by the COVER
nor was received.
I When the conference was over
I Governor Odell refused to say what
had occurred, and Mr.. Mitchell was
equally reticent. 1t is believed that
Governor Odell presented his prop
osition for settlement to the leader
of the miners union, and that Mr..
Mitchell said he would present it to
the district presidents in the hope
that it would be accepted. Cover
nor Odel said: "Mr. Mitchell was
eminently fair, and showed every
disposition to adjust the serious sit
uation." -
With the announcement that all
the conferees except Governor Odell
had left town, some of the interest
in the matter had dropped. Gov
ernor Odell at late hour was ask
ed if he had determined on any
further move. He said:
II have not received any official
notice Of the rejection of our propo-
sition."
"Has it been suggested that you
call an extra session of the legisla-
ture?" was asked.
''I have not thought of it yet. As
I said, I am waiting for an answer
from the operators"
The governor said tonight that he
would go to Newburgh tomorrow to
register and return on Monday
morning. Then he said he would
again take up the matter actively
| if NO decision was arrived at by the
miners and operators. He posi-
lively declined to talk further for
publication.
His Life In Peril.
"I Just seemed to have gone all
to pieces" writes Alfred Bee, of
Welfare, Tex, "biliousness and
lame back had made life a burden.
I couldn't eat or sleep and felt al

began to use Electric Bitte1s, but
they worked wonders. Now sleep

New York, Oct. 11.-Chairman
Thomas, of the Erie Road, today
issued statement that there would
be no conference on the part of the
operators with the publicists on
Tuesday, and saying that his state
ment yesterday was defnitive.
Mr.. Thomas said: "This state
ment that the conference of yester-
day will be continued Tuesday is
unqualiiedly wrong. No conclu-
sions were or could be reached
through that channel. The Incl
dent may be considered as absolute
ly closed; the officers positively de-
clining to accept thea suggestions
made. Nothing will be done on
Tuesday"

Mckinley Memorial Fund.

The amount apportioned to the town
of Pittstied for its share of the Mekin.
ley Memorial Fund was $50 90, being
based upon general average of towns
of the like size throughout the United
states. j o. Smith of skowhegan WAS
appointed as chairman of the Mckinley
Fund for Somerset county and has charge
of the entire matter for the county. MIR.
smith appointed Oramel Murray chair
man of the collection committee for this
town and Mr.. Murray has found no
trouble in meeting the sum appOrtoned.
In fact the people were so anxious to
contribute to the fund that the amount
collected was nearly double what was
expected.
The sums were all voluntary subscrip-
tons, no one being urged to give any re
CURED sum, all giving what they wished
To contribute. The total sum collected
amounted to $50 80, divided as follows:
S34 IS from As business men; IA school
children, 5000; "a mill operatives, 10.
| IS. The individual contributions ranged
from cents to 81 90.
If every town of the size of Pittstield
in the United States would contribute
as literally toward the fund, it would
amount to 1,500,0 100000.
Plttsfield is never behind the times in
giving assistance to any worthy cause,
especially anything of patriotic nature.
| The general per capita average of about
cents each will probably be fully as
high as any of the towns in the country.

Portrait of Governor Coburn

The Lewiston journal contains the
following in regard to a portrait of
the late Gov. Coburn, recently hung in
the State House at Augusta
"The latest portrait TO arrive for the
State House gallery i9 that of Hon.
Abner Coburn OF Skowhegan, who was
governor of Maine In 1868. The portrait
is the work of Charles Harvey Pepper,
who is a son of the Rev. DR.. Pepper,
formerly of Watervile. Mr.. Pepper
was first a pupil OF Alger V. Currier
of Hallowell, later OF well-known
painters in New York city and in Paris.
He is member of the Boston Water
color club and OF the New York Water
color club. The portrait of Governor
Coburn is done in fat colors, the head
being placed against red curtain
which in part shuts out the light. This
effect gives the quality of envelope"
which is said to be characteristic of Mr..
Peppers work. At the request of Mr..
Pepper the painting will be under
glass, a somewhat unusual departure
for oil portraits, but designed in this
picture to counteract the dizziness OF
the fiat colors. The picture has a
carved wood frame by Prendergast.'

9ebruary Fires.

February has thus far been very pro-
life of fires with immense destruction of
property.
A great fire swept through Paterson,
n. j Sunday and in its desolate wake
are the embers and ashes of property
valued at $8,000,0OO 1t burned its way
through the business section of the city
and claimed as it's own a majority of the
civic, educational and religious use, as
we'll as scores of other houses. The
great manufacturing plants of the city
were saved and the work of restoration
has already been entered upon. Tho
fire came just after midnight, Saturday
aud was only checked after a desperate
fight that lasted until late Sunday after
noon. Every city and town within reach
of Patterson sent tiremen and apparatus
to the relief of the threatened city and
il took the united efforts of them all to
win the battle. Fortunately there was
no loss of life but a thousand people
were rendered homeless.
There were also other heavy fires Sun
day. One at st. Louis, in which eleven
persons lost their lives and $500. 900
worth of property burned; one in Brook
lyn with $250,000 loss; one in New York
city with about the same damage to
property and shipping; one at Elberton,
Ca, involving 100000 loss and one at
Fredericton, N. b., with S35, 900 loss.
A terrible list for one day, surely. Chi
cago had moderate sized fire for that
great city by which the OIpheum theatre
was burned and two women persisted in
the flames. The loss was placed at
$50 COO.
