A s spring medicine Peruna is a
IA never failing remedy. 1t cleanses
the blood through digestion, and gives

produces tired out, sleepy feeling, and
inability to do much mental or physical
work, is the result of asluggish digestion.
The great popularity that Peruna has
is due to the fact that in all such cases

NEAR THE BILLION MARK
Appropriations of the First Session of the
Present Congress Amount to the
sum of 1927 ,S36,262

Washington, June 30.-No session of
congress except in time of war has
equaled the total appropriation of the
first session of the fifty-seventh con-
gress, which is now near close.
With the exception of the naval and
general deficiency bills, which are still.
in conference, the appropriation bills
are either laws or have been agreed to
by both branches and are in the hands
Of the president. The total now stands
1927 1886, 262, thus making it practical
ly ''billiondOllar session"
The total for the first session of the
fifty-sixth congress was $40, $50, S57
The increase Of S217. GS3, 40 includes
100000 for the sthmian canal, if
the Panama route is chosen, and $780,
100000 if the Nicaraeuan route is ch0s-
en-. Provision is made in the bill that
100000 Of this amount shall be
provided for by bonds, but this does
not detract from the appropriation as
an obligation of the government.

NATION is PROSPEROUS
Treasury Figures Show Surplus Amount
ing to $4,000, OOO-All the Off
Gals Are Surprised.

Washington, July 1.-Uncle Sam
has had a good year and the treasury
figures will show surplus for the
twelve months Of nearly 100000, 600.
Notwithstanding the large appropria-
tons by congress and the heavy ex-
pense of the war in the Philippines, the
receipts during the year will show al
most that great sum in excess of eX-
penditures. Last years surplus was
about $75,OO0,000.
All the officials Of the treasury are
surprised at the way in which the re-
ceipts have piled up during the last
few months. Sixty days ago they es-
timated the surplus for this year at
only S77,OO0,0O0. But June alone has
added nearly S13,000,00O to the right
side of the ledger. AS Secretary Shaw
says: "The prosperity of the country
is so great that all calculations are
likely to be upset. If congress reduces
taxes it seems to make little differ
ence in the income Of the government.
The money comes rolling in faster
than we know what to do with it.

bic STRIKE PROBABLE
Railways Centering in Chicago
Present Their Uitimatum to
the Freight Handlers.
WILL NOT RECOGNIZE UNION
If a Strike Comes 10000 Workmen
Will Be Affected-Life Lost
in Miners Strike,

Chicago, July AT any moment a
strike of the freight handlers and
clerks of the warehouses may be called
that will demOraliZe traffic. The rail
ways have presented their ultimatum
and refused to give the men any fur
Their answer. If the strike comes it
will affect 10000 wOrkmen in the rail
road sheds and warehouses, in addi-
ton to the outsiders who stand ready
to assist in the fight. Not the least
powerful of the latter are the team
sters, who will refuse to haul freight
from the yards until the union is full
ly recognized.
Present Counter Proposition.
The railroads have presented a
counter proposition to the schedule
presented by the union, but although
it purported to cOncede an advance in
the wage scale, officials of the union
declared it altogether insufficient and
rumors of strike were current in la
Dor circles. 1t was said the officials
of the companies would be given an
other opportunity to present PROPOSE
ton acceptable to the union and that
failure to do so would result in a
strike.
Officials of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, however, advised the men
to act in a conservative manner and
expressed the opinion that the freight
handlers and the companies would
come to an amicable understanding.
The business agents of the union were
actively engaged in keeping the men
in line. Many OF them favored imme-
date action, but were cautioned to go
slow and leave the matter in the hands
of the officials.
What President Curran Says.
President Curran of the union said
while the proposition granted an adj
vance in wages in some cases, it was
far from being satisfactory and in the
cases of the delivery clerks, callers,
scalers and coopers really meant re-
ductiOn. Under the present scale de-
livery clerks receive from $3.50 to
$3.50 a month, while the proposition
of the companies provides for only $50
a month. The callers and scalers are
now paid at the rate of 171a cents an
hour and the companies offer them IL
cents an hour from July 1. Coopers
who now receive from $40 to $50 a
month under the new schedule would
receive only S44.20 month and truck
ers who now receive from Is to 16
cents an hour will practically receive
no benefit from the proposed increase.

LIFE LOST IN MINERS STRIKE
italian Shot Dead by Coal and Iron Police
at Duryea, Pa.

at Dufyea, Ia.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1.-The first
loss Of life during the anthracite strike
occurred at the William A. coIliery
at Duryea. Antonio Guisueppe, an
italian, was shot dead by one of the
coal and iron policemen from behind
the stockaGe of the colliery. Reports
differ as to the cause of the shooting.
The friends of the dead man say he
was walking on the road. near the
stockade when he was fired upon. The
man was on his way from Sierra alton to
Duryea at the time.
Another report is that the Italian
tried to get over the fence and would
not heed the warning from the police
men to go away. He insisted on max
ing his way into the stockade and was
fired upon.
There is much indignation over the
shooting and the sheriff of LackaWan-
ma county was summoned to take steps
to preserve order, as it was reported
that there would be an uprising among
the foreigners and that they would at
tack the stOckade before night. The
body lay in the roadway for some time.
The coal and iron police would not
venture outside the stOckade to remove
it, and the people living in the vicinity
did not want to take it way until the
arrival Of the coroner. When the sher-
if of LackaWanna county reached the
scene he ordered the body removed to
an undertaking establishment.
