Military Leaders Who Were Always

The Duke OF Alva, one of the most

syentful career lost battle. The
archbishop OF Cologne was struck by
his effort to avoid conflict having on

Oliver Cromwell Throughout his mill

The Duke of Marlborough fought
several battles against the most ex-
Deriencsd generals in Europe and was
never once defeated. .s.
The famous Russian general Suva-
Doff was another commander destined
never to suffer defeat. He gained sew
sral victories against the Turks and
against the Poles, ana in Italy he was
opposed by Moreau, and, being COM
1etely outnumbered, he effected a
brilliant reteeat over the mountains of
switzerland, through Germany, into
Russia.
The Duke Of Wellington throughout
his brilliant campaigns. both in India
and in the peninsula, preserved to him
self a remarkable record of uninter-
rupted successes from the first battle
in which he was vested with supreme
command throughout the peninsular
war, in which he defeated the ablest
Of Napoleon's marshals, until the
eventful day at Waterloo.

Queer
Law Case

The daily papers not long ago
reported a trial case where a man
sued medicine concern which had
offered hundred dollars for a
case their remedy could not cure.
It seems, that the man had not
been cured, though he had taken
the remedy. The defence was
that he had not taken the medicine
long enough. He did not get his
hundred dollars.
We aIIude to this because Vinol
does not give a slippery guarantee.
We sell it on its merits and
leave it to the user. If the user
comes back with his empty bottle
and says: ct took that bottle of
Vinol, and I can't see that it did
me any good" we don't argue
the matter. We say, or our clerk
says, Sorry that you happen to
be among the few - here's your
dollar "
The few! They arevery few -
less than one out of a hundred,
according to the experience.
Vinol is scientific non-secret
compound Of cod liver oil greatest
medicinal food known), organic
iron (iron that can be taken up into
the blood and used), and a mild
table wine. It is pleasant to take.
Our Vinlax, for constipation, IS
Vinops companion remedy, sold on
the same guarantee.

We are now considering whether the

WAS THERE A TRAITOR?
Wabash Men Say Threatening Letter
Was Written by a Union Man.,

st. Louis, March 9.-The Wabash sit
uatlon presents no new phase this
morning.. The attorneys representing
the hremen and trainmen and union
leaders decline to say what the basis of
their pleadings will be, but it is stated
one Of the grounds to be urged in asking
for dissolution of the injunction will be
the denial Of authorization of the letter
sent to Wabash employees at the time
the vote was ordered, purporting to
come from the leader of the conference
committee and making threats against
the company.
Both Morrisey II Lee say they had
no knowledge of his letter until it was
issued by the Wabash officials in their
plea for an injunction. Morrisey and
Lee intimate they know the author of
the letter TO be q plcmber Of their or
der, who is a traitor to the brother
hood, and who wrote it to make grounds
Tor an Injunction by the company.
The leaders are looking forward to the
visit of George Gould, who will be in
st. Louis Sunday and Monday. In their
opinion Mr.. Gould is coming to inquire
into the situation between the Wabash
INC its employees.

towards Slattery, when the latter fired,
killing Shaw instantly.
Slattery came to town and gave him.

GORMAN TO LEAD.
Maryland Man Will Probably Be Chair;
man of Democratic Caucus.

Maryland Man Will Probably Be Chair
mar of Democratic Caucus.
Washington, March Tt is the gen.
eral opinion among democratic SEN
ators that Senator German will be
asked to resume his old place as chair
man Of the democratic caucus.
Another question which probably will
be taken up is the appointment Of a
member Of the foreign relations COM
mlttee to succeed Senator Bailey, who
was excused from service on hat COM
mittee by the senate Tuesday last on
his own motion.
When he retired he suggested Sen
ator Clark Of Montana as his successor,
and as there was no opposition the
suggestion was adopted and Senator
Clark was mad a member Of the COM
mlttee. There is no objection to Sem
ator Clark as a member of the commit
tee. but there is a feeling on the part
of some of the democratic senator's that
the designation OF a member of so i'm
portant a committee should be left to
the caucus and not to an individual
senator. 1t therefore seems probable
that the caucus will ask to be allowed
to fill the place, and that Senator Clark
will be named by the caucus
The vacancies on the steering COM
mittee will also be filled.

trail and the Chicago and Alton will be
tied W.
The possible strikes on the other
roads will not be sympathetic strikes,
as the men of all three roads have'the
same grievance and will be equally
benefited by a victory. The trainmen
of the Chicago and Alton demanded an
increase of 20 per cent. in wages last
December. The road offered to grant u
3 per cent. increase.
Turned Down Demands.
Soon after the Alton mad turned
down the mems demands the Illinois
Central declined to grant similar de-
mands submitted by the 'trainmen in
its service. Next came the demands Of
the Wabash, the refusal of which las
resulted in the threatened strike at st.
Louis. 1t is said that the trainmen Of
the three roads, at their secret confer
ence, agreed to make the first fight to
enforce an increase in pay on the
Wabash system. If the strike succeeds
n the demands of the men are grant
ed, it is considered certain that the
other two roads will grant the same
scale of wages.
If the fight fares against the strik-
ing Wabash trainmen it is thought the
fremen of the other two roads eventu-
ally will be involved.
The officers of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen are preparing a
statement to their members which will
be given out for publication tonight,
giving a short statement of the case
as it now stands, advising them to con-
tlnue loyal to the railroad and
their organizations, and pay no atten-
ton TO threats Of any persons, or any
JUNIORS put in circulation.
