the Unfair List.

Scranton, Pa, June 29.-The quiet Sun
day services at st. Patrick's Catholic
church at Oliphant were disturbed this

CONGRESS HASFACED QUESTIONS
OF FAR REACHING IMPORTANCE
BREAK IS EXPECTED IN
RANKS OF THE STRIKERS

wilkesbarre. Pa, June 2s.-The begin
ming Of the eighth week Of the anthracite
miners strike shows no change in the
situation. National Board Member John
Fallon is In charge during Mr. Mitchelrs
absence In the west. Mr.. Fallon said
tonight that the miners were just as de-
termined as ever and denied that there
was any suffering among the strikers.
The local operators seem to be a unit in
saying that a break In the strikers ranks
may come any time now. This belief is
based on reports which the operators
claim to have received from many sources
that the families OF many of the strikers
are in want.

DENTED SEVERITY HAS CAUSED
LOSS OF $25o,ooo - INCOMING
TRAINS DELAYED.

ing.

velocity of fifty-f1ve miles an hour, blow
ing down trees, telephone poles, tele-
graph lines and trolly equipment and In

sorts. At least 1000 shade trees in vari-
Gus parts of the city are on the ground

bridges, causing delay to trains.
Nearly all inbound trains were great
ly delayed today as a result of the
storm, arriving at the union station
from forty minutes to five or six hours
late. Several washouts were reported.
One of the most disastrous floods in
the history of Alton, ILL.,, and vicinity,
resulted from the heavy rains of Friday
and Saturday. 1t is estimated that 10000
acres have been covered by overflow OF
Wood river. which is three to six miles
wide. Most of these lands are either
occupied by manufacturing interests or
planted in crops. The greatest single dis
aster caused by the flood was the de-
struction of the plant of the Stoneware
Pipe Company at East Alton. The loss
to residents will be immense, the the oc-
cupant3 of houses were compelled to
use skiffs to get out. The flood pro-
duced the worst railroad tie-up in twen-
ty years In the vicinity of Alton.

ADJOURNMENT
NEAR At HAND
Exact Time Not Agreed Upon
BY Congress
VERY LITTLE BUSINESS LEFT
Both Branches VIII Close Session
With Exceptionally Clean Calen-
dars and With Feeling That
Much Has Been Done.

Washington. June 2e.-The exact time
shall come to a close cannot be foretold
until there is definite Information as to
when an agreement will be reached on
the Philippine civil government BILL
However, the general consensus Of opin-
ion places the adjournment on Tuesday
or at the latest Wednesday.
This prediction involves the opinion
that the Philippine conferees will be able
to conclude their work tomorrow. That
they can do that is quite evident in
view of what already has been accom-
plished In the way of harmonizing the
differences on that bill, and on account
of the probability that parts of the
measure will be dropped in case 1t should
appear that no agreement can be reach
ed except through prolonged exchange of
views. Neither house is disposed to ex-
tend the session more than a day or two
for the purpose of securing an agree
ment on all features of the bill, when 1t
is felt ON all hands that the preservation
of no one feature of the bill is necessary
to its success as a whole. 1t is not be-

will consume a great deal of time in de-
batting the confere. ce report when pre-
sented, but lest the debate should run
longer than expected the resolution fix
ing the time for adjournment tomorrow
will not be brought in until the Philip
pine conference shall be made to and
accepted by both houses.
OF the appropriation bills only the gen.
eral deficiency and the naval bill remain
to receive the finishing touches. There
are still some points of difference on
each of these measures between the two
houses, but none that cannot be harmon
lied whenever the Philippine bill shall
be out of the way. Neither house Will
attempt much other business. The Sem
ate calendar contains a number or meas
ures which can be discussed and there
is an understanding in the house that
the military bill she be used as a basis
for discussion to fill in the time when
conference reports are not at hand Tor
consideration. There is also an under
standing that the London dock bill snail
be taken up under a suspension or the
rules after the adoption of the resolution
fixing the hour for adjournment.
Both houses will close the session with
exceptionally clean calendars and with
the feeling on all hands that 1t has been
a session of important achievements.

KTRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent
lvl Superintendent of the w. C.. L. u.
headquarters, at Galesburg, Ill,
was for ten years one of the leading
women lthere.s Her husband, when liv-
| ing, was first President of the Nebraska
Wesleyan University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In a letter written from 401 Sixty
seventh street, W., Chicago, Ill, Mrs
Fleharty says the following in regard
to Peruna:
Having lived very active life as
wife and working partnernof busy
minister, my health failed me few
years ago. / lost my husband about
the same time, and gradually seemed
to lose health and spirit. Ny daughter
is a confirmed invalid, and we bothfelt
great need of an invigorator.
Zone of my neighborS advised me
to try Peruna. Ab0ffie was imnedi-
afeLy secured and great change took
place in my daughters as well as I'm
my own health. Our appeHfes Inn
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and resffuI sleep
soon improved us, so that we seemed
like new women.
sTI would not be without Peruna for
ten times its COST. Mrs. Anna B.
FIeharty.
What used to be called female dis
eases by the medical profession is now
called pelvic catarrh. 1t has been
found by experience that catarrhal
diseases Of the pelvic organs are the
cause of most cases of female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the. first of
Americas great physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to
women, and long ago he reached the
conclusion that woman entirely free
from catarrhal affection of these or
gans would not be subject to female
disease. He therefore began using Pc
sruna for these cases and found it so
admirably adapted to their permanent
cure that Peruna has now become the
most famous remedy for female dis
eases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not palliative simply; it'll
cures by removing the cause of female |
disease. 8F4 @&8# E8A#8 Il
DR.. Hartman has probably cured |
more women of female ailments than |
any other living physician. He makes |
these cures simply by using and rec
ommending Peruna. Egf FW
