There is more catarrh in this sec

eases put together. and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment. pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutions
al disease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney

stitutionaf cure on the market. 1t is

ITALIANS WILL STRIKE TODAY
General Walkout of Railway Employees
in Exnected =

10 ExPeCte0.
Rome, April IA general strike Of
railway employees is to be inaugur-
ated this morning in accordance with
the arrangements perfected thru cipher
kilograms directed to all railway CEN
ters by the agitation committee at
Rome. The Neapolitan railway men
We're insistent upon going on strike
Saturday night and as a concession to
them, the central authorities of the
operatives association consented that
traffic on some of the Naples lines
should be stopped Immediately but
that on others one train should be run
today. The strike will prove a great
embarrassment to foreign tourists, of
whom there are great many in Italy
just now.
In reply to an Interrogation in the
chamber Of deputies relative to the
railway bill which is on the calendar
for discussion on Monday, Premier
Forti said: eve still hope with per-
suasion to bring the railway men to
reason, but if these means are insult
ficient declare the government knows
it's duty and how to accomplish it
with the appreciation of the cabinet,
trusting to have the approval of pub
lie opinion which wishes to prevent
arrogance by the railway men. I can
state that public order will be main
tanned everywhere, and also that the
public will be served within the limits
Of possibility. The government feels
that it has the moral and material
strength to accomplish what it con-
siders to be it's right and duty"
Soldiers to Operate Trains.
The chief measures upon which the
government relies consist in having
the stations occupied by military and
trains conducted by soldiers, the navy
supplying engine drivers and stokers.
Trains will be escorted by soldiers and
will carry workmen ready to repair
any damage that may be inflicted upon
the tracks. Express trains will be
discontinued and the minimum of one
ordinary train daily will be maintained
on each of the principal lines. The
tracks will be patrolled by cavalry
Social deputies are discussing the
advisability of adopting obstructionist
tactics in the chamber of deputies to
prevent the passage of the railway
bill.

MYSTERIOUS is MRS. CRAVEN.
Claims to be Common Law Wife of
ate Senafor Eair

Claims to be Common Law Wife Of
Late Senator Fair.
Burlington, April Is. - There is no
truth in a report enormously circula-
ted to the effect that Mrs. Craven,
who once sued the estate Of former
Senator Fair, had been judged in
sane. She has been critically sick for
some time. Her relatives are with her
and recovery is hoped for soon.
Burlington, April 15.-Mrs. Craven,
who claims to be the common law
wife of the late Senator Fair of CAL
ifornia, and mother of young Fair,
who was killed in an automobile &C
cident in France, is still in Burlington
| under the watchful care of her rela-
tives. She is stopping at the Delano
hotel and keeps the attaches of the
place busy attending to her wants.
An attempt to have the woman
brought before the county insane COM
missioners failed because the officials
did not want to involve the county
in any further responsibility for her
keeping. Her temporary guardian,
Mr.. Eicher, of Washington, will prob
ably make arrangements to have Mrs.
Craven sent to private sanitarium.
Mrs. Craven is undoubtedly Of unbal-
anced mind most of the time, but she
has her lucid intervals, when she be-
comes most charming and delightful;
woman. She is highly cultured and
talks Interestingly of her travels in
America and Europe.
She tells a strange story of her con-
nection with Senator Fair in Califor-
MIA. Her former home was in Wash
ins;ton, Iowa, and she says she went to
California a number of years ago, and
won a high school principalship in !,
competitive examination in which q
large number of others, including for
tynine men, took part. When Senator
Fair wanted some clerical work done
one day he employed Mrs. Craven. She
did the work so we'll that he retained
her. She claims that she became very
closely involved with the senator In
his business and practically acted as
his business agent.
she claims that by her management
of his affairs she aided him in amass-
ing his enormous fortune. She says
that a common law marriage. was en-
tered into between herself and Senator
Fair. and it will be rememh cred that
at the time of the senator's death a
sensational suit was filed by Mrs. Cra-
ven, claiming a wife's share in the
millionaire's estate. The matter was
settled by the apportionment of a GER
tain fund for her use in charge of q
trustee. This trustee allows her but
$45 per week for expenses and spend
ing money.
Mrs. Craven's home is in San Fran
cisco, but she has spent much of the
last six years travelling about the
country, stopping at various hotels, and
causing much interest by her extrava-
gances. She has two sisters living in
this section of the country. Mrs. Alex
