Attack
Of Fast Heart Lasted
100 Hours.
Doctors Didn't Know
What To Do.
DIR. Miles Heart Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.

"For seven years have been troubled
with what the doctors called fast heart,
going at once from the usual beat to twice as
fast, which in a short time would exhaust me
terribly and only after treatment by physi-
clan it would get back to normal speed.
These attacks increased in frequency and
seve ity until December, 1901, when they
came on once a week. Each attack would
lay me up a day or more. The attack begin
ming January I3th, 1907, lasted 100 hours
almost a week. my heart be It almost one
hundred and fifty per minute and some
times more. During this week my physician
consulted with four other doctors, but all to no
purpose. My heart finally slowed up, and it
was then a serious question with my family

them. I suffered from bleeding
and protruding piles for twenty

reds of miners who in previous
years came into Seattle with rich
"pokes" Of gold dust are no longer
in evidence. The pockets and
claims from which they secured
their fortunes which they spent
with a lavish hand in Seattle have
either been worked out or have
passed into the hands Of the big
companies, who are mining on a
different scale. The rich dividends,
when there are any, are now passed
on to the stockholders of the big
companies, many Of whom reside
in the East. Seattle, Of course, has
other resources, but they are INSULT
cient to warrant any such growth
as followed the Alaska mining
boom, and until there is a readjust-
ment Of conditions the financial
showing Of the Queen City will be
less favorable than thatofth cities
dependent on natural resources Of
greater stability.
Stock speculation and the financ-
ing and operation Of big industrial
undertakings have brought great
wealth to many Of the Eastern
money centers. The Alaska min
ing boom has been correspondingly
beneficial to Seattle, but for assur-
ing steady, permanent growth Of
city, through good times and bad
times, there is nothing can equal
the agricultural resources of
country. Factories may close,
mines "peter out" and other in
dustrial enterprises collapse, but
the grains, grasses and fruit con-
tinue to grow, and by day and by
night are adding wealth to the
country and to the cities to which
it is tributary,

The town put on holiday
appearance Saturday evening, as.
sembling on the postoiiice corner,
there to be amused and interested
for an hour by the soul-stirring
strains Of music furnished by the
Monmouth band in their incom-
parable manner. The first number
was the popular air, "Hiawatha,"
now being whistled and played in
every city. Every number was
happily received by all present.
The first concert was success and
there is no excuse why dozen
more can't be given just as sue
cessfully, if only some one will go
ahead and work the concerts up.

STRIKE Is UNCANNY.
Drivers of Hearses and Carriages I'm
Chicago Quit Work and Flu
neraIs Suffer.

Chicago, Dec. 81. Striking, which
has touched directly almost every
phase of life, on Friday stopped all
funeral professions. Hearse and liv-
cry drivers, 1000 in number, quit work
at seven a. m. Owners of the teams
and vehicles are organized to a man,
and every one of them is party to an
agreement to shut up shop. So far the
workers have been loyal to the banner
of unionism, and their employers, un-
dertakers and livery stable owners,
likewise true to their agreement
No hearses were sent out, although
several burials took place. There were
no funeral professions, except where
private carriages were supplied, or Ii
censed cabmen, at extortionate rates,
were employed.
Rich and poor suffered alike. The bod
les of Frederick r. Otis, the Chicago
millionaire; Rev. Thomas Marshall,
Judge Jones Hutchinson, Patrick Grove,
one of the oldest bailiffs in Cook county,
and Anna Vlecek, who was murdered by
her husband, were all placed in dead
wagons" and sent to the burial grounds.
Riotous scenes took place at the Vie
eek funeral, because nonunion men were
acting as drivers. The entire funeral
arrangements for Patrick Grove, who
was father of Assistant States Attor-
ney Frank Grove, had to be altered ow-
ing to the strike.

is A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT
Showing in Business Circles Is
Very Encouraging.
Activity Is Not Confined to Holiday
Trade AIOne-Confidence Increas-
ing in Iron and Steel.

New York, Dec. 81. r. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Business is decidedly better than at
any recent date, and the improvement
is not confined to activity in holiday
goods, although the best reports con-
Germ those lines. Continued lower tenn
perature not only stimulates sales, but
jobbers are receiving supplementary
orders for seasonable goods, and col
lections are more prominent. Build
ing permits issued during November
exceeded the same month last year,
railway tonnage is heavy, and several
manufacturing branches are starting
idle machinery. On the other hand,
there is no improvement of the situa-
ton in the cotton industry, and fuel
producers are restricting output. Con-
fidence is increasing in the iron and
steel industry and the feeling is becom-
ing more general that prices will not
be materially lower, except possibly in
some departments that have not yet
participated in the readjustment.

tail business generally is seasonably
active, wholesale and jobbing trade
correspondingiy quiet, while manufac-
turing industry slackens partly for the
above reasons, but also because of low
water in streams, or efforts to readjust
operations to changed conditions OF
demand and supply. Cold weather is
still an important stimulus to heavy
wearing apparel and footwear. There
are several continuously encouraging
features noted. The car congestion of
year ago is conspicuously absent this
year and the railways are handling the
current excellent business offering with
profitable results. Failures do not dis
play more than the normal tendency to
increase in number, and there is evil

PRESIDENT IS A BUSY MAN
Severals Important Conferences Are
Held by Chief Executive.
Panama Matter Discussed with Sec.
rotary MOOdy-SeveraI Senator's
Call at White House.

Washington, Dec. 81. = President
Roosevelt had important conferences
Saturday with several members of his
cabinet. Secretary Moody had an early
interview during which the latest adj
vices from the naval forces along the
Isthmus of Panama were considered. No
specific information regarding them was
made public. Secretary Cortelyou took
up with the president a departmental
matter, which he said was of no pub
lie significance. He was followed by
Secretary Root, who remained with the
president considerable time. The
nature of the conference was not dis
closed. Later Secretary Hitchcock and
Attorney General Knox had an extend
ed talk with the president to discuss the
land frauds in the west, in which one
arrest already has been made, and 9TH
ers are likely to follow. The matter is
now in the hands of the department of
justice. Both Secretary Hitchcock and
Attorney General Knox stated that
nothing could be said at this time.
Senators Lodge, of Massachusetts,
Spooner, of Wisconsin, and Kean and
Dryden, OF New Jersey, also had inter-
views with the president, but little in
formation concerning their visits could
be obtained. 1t is known that the op-
position in the senate is making strenu-
Gus efforts to present an unbroken front
against the treaty with Panama This
has been the subject of some talks the
president has had with the republican
senators.
The president has expressed a de-
sire to avoid even seeming in
reference in matters pending be-
fore the senate, lest his motives may be
misconstrued, but he talks freely with
his personal and political friends in the
body about such questions.

their latest advices from Paris, it would
probably be equally difficult for Rus
STA to raise more money in France.
1t is reported from other quarters that

where, there is little likelihood of any
portion of it being underwritten in Lon
don.
Says Answer Has Not Been Sent.
Toxic, Dec. 21-Japan's answer to
Russia has not yet been sent. Owing to
the indisposition of the Russian minis
ter, Baron de Rosen, it will probably be
delayed for day or two.
Hopes to Avoid Rupture.
Paris, Dec. 21.- Russia has made an
other move toward avoiding a rupture
with Japan, and there is reason to be-
lieve it will be followed in few days by
the submission of a second proposition
tending to ameliorate the present
strained situation. The action already
taken consists in giving assurances that
the first proposition which the car ap-
proved was not in any sense an ulti-
matum, or sine qua non, but was pre-
liminary step tending toward pacific
adjustment This declaration is con-
sidered by the officials here as remov-
ing one of the most dangerous aspects of
the situation, as it had been asserted
that Russia's proposition was practi-
cally an ultimatum, which, on being re-
iected by Japan, made rupture GER
tain. On the contrary, Russia's assur-
ances permit Baron De Rosen, the Rus
sian minister at Toxic, to continue the
negotiations, even beyond the terms of
the first proposition.
The Russian authorities have not yet
definitely been advised of Japan's re-
lection of the proposition, but if the
rejection is officially communicated an
other Russian proposition will be made,
looking towards the avoidance of rup-
ture. The nature of the terms of this
further proposition is not disclosed, as
it depends on Japan's reply, but Russia's
intention to make another proposition
is considered to be distinct ameliora-
ton Of the situation.

clared between Russia and Japan is
