BNSLEY PLANTS
 ARE NOT AFFECTED
MINING TROUBLES WILL NOT CAUSE SUSPENSIoN-CoUNCiL
 WILL SETTLE WATERWORkS
 QUESTION NEXT THURSDAY.

Ensley, June 2.-(Specia1.)-The indica- tions are that more of Ensleys industries will not be effected at present by the failure of the operators and miners to agree upon contract.
 It is stated that it is the intention of the officials of the steel plant and the furnaces to keep those plans in continu- ous operation. The steam coal that is mined by the state convicts at the Pratt City mine and at Flat Top will be used by those industries.
 The rod mill will also probably remain in operation. This plant is owned by the Alabama Steel and Wire company and Is operated by non-union miners at Virginia City.
 All of the citys small industries, or at most or them, have a sufficient supply of coal to last for some time. As from all appearances the suspension will be short, no general closing down of Ems ley's industries is looked for.

Pelvic catarrh is a phrase coined by Dr Hartman, covering all that large class of disease that used to be known as female weakness. The lower portion of the abdomen is called by anatomists the pelvis. The organs contained in this portion of the body are known as the pelvic organs. There are several of them, very delicate and very subject to catarrh. Few women escape entirely catarrh Of these organs. While each case presents some minor difference as to detail, they are all in reality alike.
 Pelvic catarrh, therefore, is generic term that covers all cases of catarrh of the pelvic organs. There Is no cure equal in promptness and permanency to a short course of Peruna.
 teruna does not relieve these cases by temporarily mitigating some symptom, but Ky a removal of the cause Many woman can testify that a local treat ment does not permanently cure. A large multitude of women are constantly going from doctor to doctor to receive local treatment, with little or no result
 In Peruna these women find a prompt and permanent cure. Thousands upon

He was so startled and frightened that he was unable to check the engine, and 1t struck a string of cars moving slowly over the crossing. A boxcar loaded with machinery and two gondolas loaded with coal were knocked from the tracks and heaped into a mass of debris.

 CEASE OPERATION
ONLY MINES WORKED BY STATE CONNECTS NOW OPEN, PENDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN MINERS AND OPERATORS.

Pratt City, July 2.-(Special)-Witht the exception of the mines operated by the states convicts all the mines of the Pratt City district have been closed, pending a settlement between the miners and oper- ators. Unless an agreement is affected at an early date, 1t is probable that the coke ovens will be banked.
 This was general pay day at the mines. There will be another pay day two weeks hence but unless an agreement Is reach- ed before that time, this will be the last pay day until after the resumption.
 Notwithstanding the condition of af- fairs, the best of humor seems to prevail. It seems to be the general opinion that the suspension will only be temporary The miners appear to be in good spirits also.
