Many Patrons to John Lam.
parter & Co. .a -.

The people of Akron and vicinity
appreciate the great advantage John
Lamparter & Co. obtained for them,
in getting the Dr. Howard Co. to al
low the regular 80 cent size of Dr.
Howard's specific, for the cure of con-
stlpation and dyspepsia, to be sold at
half price, % cents, and have bought
hundreds of bottles.
Many orders have come by mail at
this popular price, for it is very un-
usual to be able to buy sixty doses
of a standard medicine for half price.
Every bottle of the specific sold by
John Lamparter x Co. has had their
personal guarantee to return the
money If 1t was not satisfactory, but
none has come back. showing the Won
derful curative power of this remedy.
Unlike ordinary medicines for con.
stipation and dyspepsia, the dose of
Dr. Howard's specific IS reduced after
few days use, and the cure is soon
complete and lasting.
In New York city the specific Is very
popular, and many club man finds
he can eat what he wants and when
he wants, II he takes a dose of this
remedy afterwards.
1t is only recently, on the persistent
advice'of John Lamparter & Co. that
DR. Howard's specific has been sold
for less than so cents, but they urged
that 1t would be better to secure n
quick introduction in Akron in this
way and the result has proven their
good judgment
II you have not already taken ad.
vantage of this chance to get a months
medical treatment for % cents, be
sure to call at John Lamparter & Co.
today, for they have only a small
amount Of the specific on hand.

STRIKERS

Unprecedented Action by Glass
Workers.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Minotola
glass strike after many months has re-.
suited, n dispatch from Vineland n.
Y. says, in labors unprecedented ap
pllcation for an injunction against a
corporation, the hearing or argument on
which, before Vice Chancellor Grey, at
Camden, because Of its vital general
importance to capital and labor, attracts
the attention of every large employer
and labor organization in the country.
For the first time in the history Of
Jurisprudence, the legal question wheth'
er or not organized labor has the same
legal standing with organized capital
has at last been brought before the
courts by the granting of an order by
Vice Chancellor Grey requiring the
Jonas Glass Co. of Minotola TO show
cause why an injunction should not be
issued restraining it from interfering
with the legitimate business of the
strikes.

history Of the litigation affect

THURSDAY, DEC. II, 1902.

Senator NJ. S. Quay is now looking
around for n couple Of men for chair
manships Of committees In the Penn
sylvania legislature. and he has an
nouuced that they must be absolutely
honest. with dispositions to suppress
"grnfting." Quay always was a
stickler for honesty. His own reputa-
ton for honesty Is Of such character
that he was accused right and left Of
literally buying the nomination of
Judge Pennypackcr for Governor at the
convention last summer. Elkin, the
opponent of Pennypacker, made n
fight before the people, visiting every
district in the State, and the canvass
convinced him and nearly everybody
else that be would win out by fine
majority. However, the purchase Of
delegates, when they showed up ut
the convention, was 80 apparent that
some of the newspapers ran delegate
stock reports, and nearly - ofthc dele
gates were openly rcpudiatcd by their
constituents as soon us they got home.
Now Quay Is looking for two honest
men, with dispositions to suppress
"graftlng" and "hoodling." He will
probably not nnd them In his own
school.

The brewers have been compelled
to hire whoever the unions sent to
them, and at present the chief bone
of contention seems to be about their
right to hire whom they please from
the union.
This action on the part Of the execu.
tive committee comes as n surprise to
the local brewers and they do not
think that It will affect them or that
strike is imminent If the committee
cannot agree on terms with the union.

Richard Is. Light. of DlruISirk, y. ",
who will be Is years old next July,
has for several months been planning
and building his coffin, not, however,
on account OF any presentiment of
approaching death, but merely be-
cause he has taken a fancy to have
it exactly as he wished, and to have it
made by mis- own hands.
The coffin is an oblong box made OF
white pine of a very fine quality. The
sides are IA inches thick. The bot
tom board is of another kind of pine,
not being easily penetrated by wa
ter. A false bottom of matched Pine
boards is placed inside so as to leave
space of 1i% inches between it and
the real bottom. The sides are lined
with thin pine boards a quarter Of
an inch thick in manner that leaves
the inside opening for the body
