WIIsON Is BARRED.
Santa Fe Refuses to Have Dealings
With Nfachinist Leader.

7. L Wilson, the man who has been
stirring up the trouble between the
Santa Fe railway and its machinists,
is said to be persona non grata with
the railway company. Vice President
Kendrick has refused to have any
more dealings with Wilson, and the
machinists are now conducting their
negotiations through Vice President
Hugh Doran and Business Agent D..

A statement issued by Slason ThOmp-
son of the Railway News Bureau is
considered significant. In part Mr.
Thompson said:
From the methods pursued and the
threats made I should say that the
chances of a strike covering nearly all
the machine shops of the Santa Fe
system from Corwith, Ill, to Needles,
Cal. are about nine to one, with the
chances of eventual success against the
strikers in a more forbidd1ng proper
ton. In some of the shops the ma
chinists are so strongly organized that
a strike would close them temporarily.
In others, notably at Topeka the larg-
est of the system less than % per cent
are unionized- All told there are about
1 500 machinists in the various shops,
of whom less than 1000 voted to strike
for the enforcement Of the union de-
LAS to these demands. according to
d. w Roderick, district manager of
the machinists, they do not directly
affect the question of wages. But the
rules proposed by the machinists for
their own government If accepted
would indirectly affect the rate ques-
ton and put the machinists' organiza-
ton in practical control OF the COM
pany's shops.
Irrespective of being opposed to the
specific demands the company, as I'M
derstand its attitude, is averse to en-
ferfng into any agreement with the
international Association Of Machln-
lists, which has never proved its capac-
ity to restrain its members from petty
| causeIess and annoying strikes. which
during the past nine months has per
| mftted organizers like T. l. Wilscn, its
I fourth vice president, to incite Its
members to all manner of riotous ane
/ vicious conduct, and which insists OF
closing the cOmpany's shops against
/ all rnachinists who do not acknowledge
/ allegiance to the association before
loyalty to the labor in which they art

A PASTORS WIFE prl sSs5 asf RS
She Suffered for Years and
and Felt Her Case Was
Hopeless = Cured
by Pc-ru-na.

ten years one of the leading women
there. Her husband. when living, was
FIRST President of the Nebraska Wes-
leyan University. at Lincoln, Neb-
In a letter written from 401 Sixty
seventh street. W, Chicago. Ill, Mrs.
FIeharty says the following in regard
TO Peruna:
Having lived very active life as
wife and working partner OF busy
minister. my health failed me a rev
years ago. I lost my husband about
the same time, and gradually seemed
to lose health and spirit. Ny daughter
is a confirmed invalid. and we both
felt great need of an invigorator.
ssOne of my neighbOrs advised me
20 try Peruna. A bottle was imme-
diately secured and a great change
took place in my daughters as well
as in my own health. Our appet1tes
improved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and restful sleep
soon improved Us, so that we seemed
like new women.
It would not be without Peruna for
ten times its cost.''-Dfrs. Anna B.

What used to be called Iemale as
eases by the medical profession is now
called pelvic catarrh. It has been
found by experience that catarrhal
diseases of the pelvic organs are the
cause of most cases of female dis
eases.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to wo-
men, and long ago he reached the
conclusion that a woman entirely free
from catarrhal affection of these or
Rans would not be subject to female
disease. He therefore began using
Peruna for these cases and found it so
admirably adapted to their perman-
ent cure that Peruna has now become
the most famous remedy for female
diseases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease
DR.. Hartman has probably cured
more women of female ailments than
any other living physician. He makes
these cures simply by using and rec
ommending Peruna.

Typhoid EeXer.

A number of cases of typhoid fever
have been reported in this city during
the past few weeks, and, as is usual
when this disease prevails, many are
quick to rush to conclusions as to the
origin of the malady There is always
more or less of this disease in all com
munities, but at times the number OF
cases increases and then needless appre-
hension prevails. AS has ever been the
case, the purity Of the water is FIRST
questioned, but il is noteworthy TACT
that typhoid fever often RACES in house,
holds where the water is filtered and
boiled, anu also in places where water
taken from artesian wells hundreds OF
feet in the bowels of the earth Is used.

known that those engaged IN SUCH

disease Others suppose the malady Is
superinducel by eating early vegetables,
the growth of which is forced by power

other green stuff are believed by some to
be responsible for the existence OF Tho
