Rheumatism must be treated
through the blood, and no remedy
brings such prompt and lasting relief
as S. S. S. 1t attacks the disease In
the blood, neutralizes the acids, and
removes all irritating or poisonous
substances from the system.
S. S. S. strengthens and enriches
the thin acid blood, and, as it circu-
lates through the body, the corroding,
gnawing poisons and acid deposits
are dislodged and washed out of the
muscles and joints, and the sufferer
is happily relieved from the discom-
forts and misery of Rheumatism.

Machinery molders of the city have
presented demand to their several
employers for nine-hour day, the
change to take effect April 1. No
such action has been taken by the
bench molders, and the places that
are affected by the demand are Viii
liams, White & Co, the Barnard &c
Leas Manufacturing company, the
Moline Elevator company, and Root d
NanderN oort at East Moline. The
bench and squeeZer molders employ
ed in the pillow shops are not included
i'll the movement and therefore the
matter does not affect the implement
manufacturers. One of the molders in
n discussion of the situation offered
to wager a little of the long green"
that should there be a waikout. none
of the men would return to work until
their demand had been acceded to.
This wager was not accepted, he then
offered another that the men would
not be forced to the extremity of
walking out. All of which shows that
the molders do not anticipate having
to strike to secure the nine-hour day.
The manufacturer seem more averse
| ~ the nlIe-nOuT gay among InS MOI
ders than they possibly would be with
any other trade, this for the reason
that the molders' day-when it is
gagged by the number of hours con
sumed in the actual making of molds
or casts-is already very short. \
holders time in the first hour or 50
in the morning is consumed in various
ways, so that it is fully $50 before
he can begin his work of making
molds, and this work he is obliged to
stop as early as 4 in order to allow
time for pouring off. Thus there is
not seven hours per day left for max
ing molds as matters now stand, and
as the output of a foundry depends
entirely on the number of molds
made, the manufacturers regard it as
doubtful whether they will be able
under the present rush of work, to
grant the demand, even were they ia
vorable to the nine-hour day. Nc
action has yet been taken on the
demand, nor is any called for until
the first of next month.

the East Moline residents in the move
ment for the incorporation of viii
lage, has received from Secretary of
State Rose the charter of incOrpor-
alton. Now the preliminary formali-
ties necessary to a legal course have
been complied with, and the infant vii
lage is to take its first steps as an
individual The first board of trus-
tees was chosen merely to receive the
charter from Springfield, and the next
step will be the election of regular
village board which will be voted on
at the time of the regular spring
election. At least one change must be
made from the personnel OF the pres
ent board from the fact that Andrew
l.. Mills, first engineer at the Union
Malleable plant, has decided to locate
in the state of Washington on fruit
farm. and will move to his new home
some time in April. Mr.. Mills has
acted as president of the temporary
board, and his services have been
much appreciated from the fact that
his disposition has been to move CON
servatively in the steps the suburban
ties are taking. The new board viii
have little business before it till after
the taxes of this year are available
for without them it will be impossible
TO proceed with improvements The
first business to come, it is said, so far
expressed is license for $1,000 a

The barber told him that according to the ethics of the profession he could not under take to finish a job that had been be- gun by somebody else.

NO HOLIDAYS FOR HIM
The Busy Season of Hon. Robert E.
 Morrison.

Hon. Robert F.. Morrison arrived in the city from the south yesterday morning. Mr Morrison had less fun and more hard work during the joyous season of the holidays than any other man in Arizona. Immediately after Christmas he was caIied to St. John to represent the contestee in the election contest of Scanlon against Grant for the office of supervisor Of Apache county. Scanlon had been a member of the board and was the democratic candidate for re- election. Grant, the republican candidate and a merchant of Blackberry, was elected on the face . of the returns by seven votes.
 Scanlon determined to contes; and employed Colonel Wilson to represen, him. There was a recount and when it was half finished it was found that Gran, had gained two votes. He was declared elected.
 MT. Morrison then started back to Prescott intending to observe the rest of the holiday week, but at Ash Fork he w@s summoned to Los Angeles. TIe was called from that place to NogaIes to appear for George Mitchell in his SUI, against William MelcZer for 10 per cen. of the COpete mining stock. That suit was prevented from coming to a head by an accident which happened back in New Jersey. Mir. Mitchell who had been in the east for several weeks, was riding in a hansom cab one day when something gave way about the harness and the cab was converted into a total wreck. Mir. Mitchells right foot was so severely wrenched that it was feared that he would never use it again. The driver of the cab was still more badly injured for he is in the hospital yet.
 When MT. Mitchell arrived at Tucson his foot hurt him so much that ne was unable tO continue his journey and q postponement of the case was secured by agreement.
 MT Morrison left this morning for Prescott.
