Cause of LOckjaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is
excluded the germ is reused to activi-
ty and produces the most virulent poi
son known. These germs may be de-
stro.yed and all danger of lockjaw
avoided by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury
is received. Pain Balm is an antisep-
tic and causes cuts, bruises and like
injuries to heal without maturation
ana IN one third the time required by
the usual treatment. 1t is for sale by

NUTS.
To wooded hills we went todav
And in hawthorn's shade
We spread our dinner on the
green
And DER it merry made.
Soft breezes roved the hazel dell
So sunny was the air
That care skulked off and hid
herself,
Twas no place for her there.
Then loaded down with nuts. we
turned
At sunset from the wood
And to our distant prairie home
We went in happy mood.
When fierce snow storms hold ia
at bay,
Close to the fire place
Well crack these sweet brown
nuts, and fling
The hulls in Winters face.
Deep buried in our Christmas
cake
Nut kernels shall we find,
When on the cooky's sugared
They put our reason blind.

STRIKE MAY END THIS WEEK
Question to Be Decided by
Vote of Men

Chicago, Sept. 6.-The Tribune said yes
terday:
AS the result of conference just held
between representatives Of the unions in
the owners of the plants, the end of the
long labor struggle is set for the middle
of this week.
An understanding was arrived at by
which the men will meet today or to-
morrow and vote on the question oil call
ing off the strike. According to the
plans made they will be instructed to
cast their ballots in the affirmative
These plans were made with secrecy
and care. They originated a week ago
In Chicago with certain of the packers
and of the conservative labor leaders.
Fearing the execution of the scheme
would fail if attempted in Chicago, /,
was determined to make the first move
in New York.
The settlement is the same that is now
proposed Tor Chlcago.
The following are the chief points of
the arrangements:
The unions to can off the strike.
The packers to re-employ as many OF
the strikers as they can give WORK to ann
to give the preference to the former
employees in the future; as many of the
new workers as wish to remain are tc
be retained.
Wages of the skilled men to remain at
the rate paid before the strike.
The packers. who have often declared
they would not meet the labor men, will
undoubtedly deny today that a confer
ence has been held. But the fact remains
that duly authorized representatives OF
i the owners of the hacking plans diu
! meet the labor men.
What doubt existed as to the position
of the switchmen in the strike has been
dispelied by Grand Master Frank Haw-
meeting of the union, said the men
would remain at work.
The first serious break in the STOCK
yards strike in Chicago came last night,

their former duties.

No Hope for Mediation

London, Sept. 5.-Careful inquiries in
official and diplomatic quarters here to-
day established the fact that no hope
prevails of the termination of the war al
lhis moment as a result of the series of
victories obtained by the japanese at
Liao Yang. There has been no inter-
change of official views by the neutral
European governments. What discussion
has occurred has been entirely PERSONA
and has led to no results even to the ex-
tent of paving the way to mediation.
There is no thorgat of International in

learned, nor can there be any mediation
without the consent of both parties. and
