Dyspepsia.

People that have dyspepsia have
weak stomachs, weak hearts, weak
eyes and are usually weakened.
They feel bilious. and the world in
general has a bilious look to them
they have so many symptoms that
it is difficult to locate the place where
they feel the worst. The fact is. the
source from where they get their
strength has been cut off, and they
are sick all over. The food taken In
to the stomach remains u~ndigested,
causing belching and bilious attacks,
followed by sick headache, II gen
eral weakness. The medicine that
puts the stomach in condition so that
the food can be readily digested, VIII

Butte, Mont, April 28.-Gus Frankel
will probably not be prosecuted on a.
charge of embezzeling the funds Of the
OF this city. He was secretary Of the
assembly for the term ending February
!, last, and for several weeks it has
been known that he was short in his
accounts to the amount of about $100.
Frankel left Butte two months ago for
the coast. He is said to be in San
Francisco now.
The assembly auditing committee
made final report last night Of it's in
spection Of Frankels books and that
will end the matter so far as the as
sembly is concerned, unless there is an
entire change in sentiment among rep
resentatives of the local unions. There
seems to be no disposition to commence
proceedings against Frankel, whose
friends declare he was the victim of a
peculiar combination Of adverse cir
cumstances.
Early in the winter delegates to the
assembly found that Frankeps accounts
were not straight, He was $45 short
but the amount was made good and
nothing further was said, F'rankel con-
tinuing as secretary until the close OF
his term.
Active in Politics.
Frankel took quite an active part in
politics, especially in the municipal
campaign Of 1903, when he acted as
chairman of the socialists party city

John T. Lawrence, representing the
United Garment Workers of America,
was in Duluth during the week. Mr..
Lawrence is visiting the merchants
and unions for the purpose Of discour-
aging the purchase and sale Of unfair
clothing.
At this particular time he is inter-
ested in the fight of the National AS
ISOLATION of Clothing manufacturers
against the garment workers unions
Of Rochester. N. Y. Some of the I'M
fair firms sell considerable clothing in
this strong union labor center. Among
them are the Stein-Block Co., for
which M. S. Burrows of this city is
the sole agent; Michael-Stern Co.,
represented by Floan & Leveroos; Ad
Ter Bros, whose local agent is the Big

whose goods are sold by Kenney &
Anker. Mr.. c. W. Ericsson has been
handling goods made by Solomon
Bros, & Lempert, and when Mr.. Law
renee called upon him, he very readily
agreed to discontinue purchasing from
| this firm until they made peace with

|
firms in Rochester. Fully 400 clothing
cutters are on strike, which is for the
eight hour day.
| From the beginning the fight has
been bitter. The clothing manufac-
turers association is determined to
crush the garment workers union. 1t
is a part Of the Parry organization,
and consequently is making a fight for
the open shop.
| Mr.. Lawrence says: "The Rochester
combine, not satisfied with it's local
trouble, has induced the Philadelphia,
manufacturers to ss.join with them to
/ break UP the et8h i hour system, and
return ITO the nine hour day. In the
clothing business. The sweat shop
system is also involved, and it is upon
this question that the fight is being
made. Our men have been out since
the 10th day OF October, and all of
them have remained true to the cause.
1--WE want the support Of the Duluth
union men. We are not advising the
purchase Of goods made by any par
ticular firm. All we ask is that union
men and their friends buy no goods
except those bearing the union label of
the United Garment Workers of Am
erica"
! Mr.. Lawrence left Friday for the
Twin Cities. He will work through the
state and visit most Of the unions and
merchants in Minnesota.
Mr.. Lawrence has just completed a
Etour Of the state of Wisconsin. He re-
lports that union labor has promised
their support to his union in their
struggle. The merchants without ex-
ception have agreed to discontinue pat
ronage with unfair firms until they
settle with union labor. The Roches-
ter combination of manufacturers have
been antagoniatic to the clothing cut
tiers by using the black list, which has
prevented a person from securing en-
ployment or changing employment
