Mrs. Chas. Freitoy, Moosup, Conn, says: 1T have taken two bot ties of Burdock Blood Bitters and am feeling better than ever did im my life. For many years suffered with severe sick headaches and general debility. Lost all ambitiom and went about my duties in an aimless manner.

Talk of Forming an Organization to
 Fight Fire.
 It is spoken of making a little organ ization for fire protection at Oakville. It would doubtless be an excellent thing, for everyone knows that in case of fire with the present lack of any such organization very little could be done, save near the pin factory, to check it's ravages.

 Mir Evans, who has for some little time been preparing his ice cream stand for the summer, had bad luck with his canvas yesterday. It had lain in the sun several hours after having been oiled and repaired and then MT Evans rolled 1t up to put it into the cellar. He went to the cellar while later and found that the can vas had ignited When he unrolled it the canvas blazed up and only small part of it could be saved. It had cost MT Evans about $40.

Rainfall Too Light to Benefit.

HoosICK FALLS, N. Y., May 23.- The rain which has fallen in this vi- cinity has not been sufficient to make any material change in the drought situation. Local river observers report that the fall was only .02 of an inch. Many farmers have abandoned the idea of blowing because of the hard condition of the soil, and they think the season will be very late. All crops are suffering badly. Dairymen state that the daily supply of milk is grow ing smaller because of the lack of prop CT pasturage.

ing which occurred at a committee meeting in Hartford the other day:
 MT Paige:. T want this gentleman to stand up and say what his business is P
 'I'm humble carpenter" MT Bis sonette said.
 Now, suppose Mr Bissonette had asked the question, T want this gentle man (Paige) to stand up and say what his business is?'' The chances are that the committee chairman would order him to take his seat, and perhaps reprimand him for being so inquisitive. And yet why should the paid attorney be given. more privileges than the man that was there without pay, and in the interest of what he considered justice Echo answer Why?
 Combination in the ranks of labor is going to be the rule in the future, and employers cannot overcome or destroy 1t by simply shutting their eyes. It de- mands recognition and will have 1t. Combination is one, and the chief of methods by which labor will place it. self upon more nearly equal ground with capital. Capital has no rights ex- cept those it has acquired, and labor has no rights save those fought for and won. Thus far capital has kept we'll ahead in the race. It long ago learned the value and need of combination. But labor, through union. is gaining on 1t. It demands the right of some. thing more than bare subsistence, which, 1t appears, is all that monopo- lists and protectionist newspapers are willing to accord 1t, and it will learn how to fnforce its demands. It will be worse than folly for great corporations to seek to crush out organized efforts in behalf of the rights of labor by ig- noring them. Is 1t better to treat brotherhoods of employees contemptu- oHsly, to ignore and offend them, pos S''''" provoke them to unreasonable re rses. or to receive their representa- t.Nes as men manfully seeking their deserts, as reasonable beings with whom conferences can be held and agreements mutually satisfactory and beneficial can be reached? Shall the obligation of reasonableness be en- forced upon the members and directors of those brotherhoods by treating them fairly and courteously. or shall they be gruff1y repelled and driven by sour dis appointment to take up arms under the banner of conscienceless dena- gogues ?-New York Times.

 SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-A re. port has reached here from London to the effect that Chinese laborers were to be sent into South Africa. The Chi nese consul general here knows noth- ing of the matter. and at the consulate 1t was stated that any such agreement or shipment of laborers would be made at Hongkung and not at this port. There is said to be no surplus of Chi nese labor in California, and the trans portation rate is much greater than from Hongkong.
 The steamer Atholl, which has reach ed here from the orient, left 400 Chi nese at Manzanillo, Mexico, these being the first installment of 4,O0O engaged to work on the Mexican Central rail- way. The steamer Ching Wo will soon reach Manzanillo with S35 more of these laborers. So far as known no re- ports have been received from the com missioners who recently passed through here with the avowed intention of se- curing Chinese coolies to work in the South African mines.

western union Reels under nlow.


 NEW YORK, May 28. Staggered by the sudden blow which the Pennsylva- mia railroad delivered by cutting down its poles when Judge Burlington re- fused the restraining injunction asked by the Western Union, the latter or ganization's officials were speechless and its legal advisers angry. AS the full realization of the blow became ap- parent all the heads of departments and division chiefs gathered in the op- eratfng room on the top floor of the building on Broadway to devise ways and means of re-establishing business where the wires were down There are about 12,000 miles of wire affected. The racing news service of the West ern Union company, a most profitable department of its business, was prac- tically closed. Part of the time no racing news was received from the Latonfa trac' Cincinnati, and from the Worth tr k, Chicago. Hundreds of pool room failed to get their re- ports.

 rade.
 NEW ORLEANS, May 23.-To New Orleans was revealed what no man has seen for twoscore years or more when for a few brief hours she held close to her heart the incarnate spirit of the Confederacy, and for her it lived and breathed again.
 The hour for the great parade of Confederate veterans had come. A bu- sle's shrill notes sounded forward" !" There was a surge of the ranks, cry of delight from the throng, and then in close ranks up the street came the men of the south, the column passing under the eyes of General Gordon, too i'll to take part In the parade, and marched away to the Lee monument
 At the head of the column was Gen eral J. B. Levert, marshal of the veter- ans. Following the column were car riages, in which rode ladies whose hus- bands had rendered distinguished serv- ices to the Confederacy. They were Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, Mrs ID. Kirby Smith, Mrs. Braxton Bragg, Mrs. Thomas J. Semmes and Mrs. John H. Reagan.
 At the head of the veterans rode Gen eral C. I. Walker, commanding the de- partment of the army of northern Vir- ginia.

Four Fatalities In Nebraska storm.
 LINCOLN, Neb., May g. - Storms and high water have caused four fa- talities and much damage in Nebras- ka. At Sterling an attempt to cross the Nemaha river on a weakened bridge caused the drowning of three persons. The high water had washed away the approaches, and the wagon was caught by the current. At Lew iston during an electrical storm John Bowen, Rock Island employee, was struck dead by lightning while stand ing in doorway. Two inches of rain fall within an hour flooded the busi- ness district of Plattsmouth, and a wall of water four feet high swept through the Burlington shops, stopping work and causing damage to the ex- tent of several thousand dollars.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Dun & Go. Say Hot Weather stinau~
 Yates Trade.

Iates Trade.
 NEW YORK, May 23.-R. c. Dun < Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Weather conditions and labor situa- tions are the dominant influences in the business world. Unseasonably high temperature at many points, especially in the east, stimulated retail trade in wearing apparel and other summer merchandise to an unusual degree, but had most unsatisfactory effect upon vegetation, which was promptly re- dected In diminished orders for SUD- plies and in some cases there were can- celia tions.
 On the whole there are fewer wage earners voluntarily idle, yet the spirit of unrest has caused the abandon ment of some new enterprises and postponement of ,thers, which means less demand for structural materials and labor. Payments are also less prompt, time often being asked where formerly cash transactions for slight discount were the rule. Aside from these two adverse factors the trade situation is favorable, and with aver age weather and industrial peace there is every prospect of continued pros perity throughout the country.
 Traffic on the railway is heavy, earn ings thus far reported for May exceed ing last years by 13.6 per cent and surpassing 1901 by 25.7 per cent.
 Readjustment in prices of iron and steel continues, the market gradually resuming normal conditions.
 Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for May aggregate $4,S33,087, of which $1,S32, ,756 were in manufacturing 1882, TOP in trading.
