doubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and its continued use for . few days
will cure you completely. No matter

SENT BACK HOME
ILLINOIS CENTRAL ADJUSTS ITS
TROUBLE WITH THE DAGOES.

The Illinois Central solved the prob
lem Of what to do with the Dagoes
who tore up the tracks and threatened
destruction to the road near Pierce
Station and Newbern, Tenn, . short
distance below Fulton, by sending the
meh back to Chicago. The road
brought the Italian laborers to this
section from Chicago only after all
other efforts to get other labor had
failed.
The men signed three months con-
tract to work for $1.S5 . day, ten
hours. with transportation there and
back, if they worn ed out their three
months, but few days ago they quit
because they were not paid $3.50 e
day for eight hours work. They tore
mp the track because the money due
them was not paid at once. Saturday
the situation became so grave that
armed men were sent from Fulton to
quell the pugnacious foreigners. The
latter were all armed nearly every one
having a gun. pistol and knife. 1t was
agreed to take them back to Chicago,
although they had violated their con-
tract, and the trouble ended.

New York Telegram to the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
The New York Telephone company
has entered upon an interesting exper
iment 1t is placing 600 telephones in
rs many dwelling houses and private
apartments in the residence ection
Just above and below Harlem river.
No charge is made for putting in or
taking out. The citizen who has or
dered the telephone guarantees moth
ing. He simply pays ten cents for
each time he makes use Of the same.
The novel feature is found in the
method of payment. Mr.. A wishes to
speak to Mr.. b. He drops ten cents in
O slot in the machine and calls CEN
trail. II Central connects him with
Mr.. B the dime drops into another re-
ceptacle and becomes the property Of
the telephone company. II central can
not make the connection with B the
dime rolls out, Mr.. A puts in his peck
ct and reserves it for later chance.
At stated periods an agent of the COM
pany comes around, collects the mon
ey and locks the box for future use.
The company expects by this device
not only to increase the use Of the tel
ephone, but also to save commission
paid to the the drug stores and other
places used as pay stations. The citi-
zen in whose house the automatic col
lecting machine 10 placed is provided
with q package of postal cards, with
which to request his friends to come
in and use his phone. The more ser
