tennial Celebration.

Chicago. Oct. 3.-Chicago's centennial
celebration closed last night in a blaze
of fireworks which Illuminated the larg-
est crowd ever assembled on the lake

big excursion steamers, which were
packed to the guards.
The exhibition began when red and
white fires burst out along the govern
ment pier for a distance of several
blocks. A discharge of bombs and sky
rockets followed Immediately, the
bombs exploding in midair and scatter
ing red, white and blue stars in thous-
ands. This brilliant bombardment was
kept up for an hour and a quarter,
while at intervals set pieces were fiji ed
and oddities introduced. Fort Dearborn

WILL TIE UP ROAD.
Brotherhood of Painters Threaten
the Manhattan L.


New York, Oct. 3.-Threats are being
made by the Brotherhood of Painters
that unless the. members of their union
are put back to work in the shops of the
Manhattan Elevated railroad and none
but union painters employed, they will
call a general strike involving employees
of the system and completely tying up
the road.
James P. Archibald. district organizer
of the Brotherhood of Painters, has an
nounced that. at conference in when
every branch except the motormen, who
are members of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, was represented, 1t
was agreed that unless the jnterurban
company granted a conference with the
painters and cat them back to work
by next Tuesday a general strike will
be ordered.
Frank Hedleyl general superintendent
of the interuroan' company, declares
that the painters were not locked out
and that they have no real grievance
1--WE laid off eur painters last Satur-
day" he sad, Ebecau use there was no
work for them at present. The cars we
intended to have repainted we have been
obliged to put into service on account
of a heavy rush of traffic, and as soon
as we can get to it. probably Within
thirty days, the painters will be put
back to work. These are the facts IN
the matter"
Mr.. Archibald insists, however. that
the men were locked out, and that it
was done for the purDosetof destroying
their union.
1--WE do not ask for more wages or
shorter hours" said he. but we shall
insist that Ger eral Manager Bryan
take the matter in hand and receive a
committee of OUR uni IN. If he refuses
the company must expect a general tie
up. We will have all the employees ex-
cept the engine drivers with us, and
if they should refuse to aid US in this
fight they need never expect assistance
from US IN the future"

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign Of
Group is hoari eness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse,or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t is, in
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.
