Dubuque, April 14.-Dubuque citi-
zens have about all recovered from the
grippe, but an epidemic of the pink eye,
a disease of the eye caused by a conta-
gious germ, prevalent during the spring
months, is now raging and hundreds
are uncomfortably afflicted with a
blurred vision. According to eye spe-
cialists the only relief is to keep the
eye absolutely clean, and so prevent
disastrous results. The modern pink
eye is not regarded as a serious mat
ter, regardless of the Inconvenience, if
1t is kept thoroughly cleansed, because
when cared for properly it does not af-
feet the vision permanently. The dis
ease lasts from two and three days to
two weeks and is one of the most dis
agreeable Of spring ailments.

Important Agreements.
Some of the most important mat
tiers adopted are;
81. Resolutions were adopted Ia
yoring amendments to legislative acts
for the total prohibition of the en-
ployment of women in the mines OF
Germany.
"2. The legal prohibition of the
employment Of children under IA
years of age around the mines, and
16 years inside of or under ground.
"3. Favoring an eight hour law
from bank to bank for all mining en-
ployees.
"A. Favoring establishing a mini
mum rate of wages.
"5. Also favoring the adoption of
uniform system of transfer cards
between all countries. This was In
troduced by the American delegates
and adopted. Our reasons for favor
ing such an intercourse and exchange
in cards was to obviate the unwar-
ranted expense of compelling an indi-
vidual to pay an Initiation fee more
than once, and desire to further
and strengthen our reciprocal rela-
tons, as members of one trade and
fraternity.
sc. Favoring old age pensions.
az. The extension of workmen in
