an active member of the leading

helped me when everything else has
failed. For sciatica it hasn't. an
equal. I had suffered from it for
weeks, could not turn myself In bed
and had about concluded that I had
either got to wait and let it wear
off or wear me out. I sent for sew
eral sheets of cotton batting and
swathed my leg in it from hip to
toes, leaving not a loophole through
which a particle Of air could enter.
In less than a week I was up and
about the house. The pain had left
me entirely, and I never have felt a
twinge of it since" Care should be
taken, however, especially in the
winter, not to leave off the wrap
pings too suddenly.

THE PAVING SITUATION

When :he Curtis bill passed we
thought we had 1t all fixed up and
could go to paving our streets at
once. But now nearly three months
have elapsed and Notwithstanding
the fact that property owners are
almost unanimously in favor OF
it, we are apparently no nearer
paved streets than ever. The coun-
Gil and the lawyers and the hnan-
ciers are all "balled up" over the
law and don't know which way to
turn.
Yai
The Mayor and Others have been
in correspondence with the com.
pzaies that deal in city securities
and they are not disposed to handle
our scrip. Unless a market can be
found for this paper, the people
must pay cash for their paving or
do without it. Are we to give up
the paving ideal
Assurcdly not. 1t is not simple
situation but there's no reason to
consider it a hopeless one. Undoubt-
edly, under authority conferred by
the Curtis act, we can issue law
ful scrip that is absolutely a safe
investment and undoubtedly we
have lawyers and legislators wise
enough % draw an ordinance in
conformity with this law. And if
such an ordinance is drawn and
the proposition isPut before the
fnanciers in the proper way, they
will be glad to purchase our secur
tiles. Il is true that correspondence
with them has yielded very unsat-
isfactory results as it frequentl,
does in other transactions. 1t ap

is to employ an agent OF unques

RANK TALK COMES
FROM CHICAGO.
Socialists in Chicago Propose to Save
Federation Officers.

At a meeting of the Industrial
Workers of the World held at Chi
cago last week, A. M. Simons, editor
of the International Socialist Re-
view, was vigorously applauded when
he denounced the government
authorities for the arrest of the men
accused of fScomplicity in the assas-
sination of Ex-Governor Steunenburg
of Idaho.
"We are growing in strength and
nearing a crisis" he said. "We are
strong enough to prevent them from
hanging those men in Idaho. Our
lives must be given before we per-
NIT them to hang"
Another speaker was Oscar Nee
bee, one of the Haymarket rioters,
who has not been heard in public
since his conviction, imprisonment
and subsequent release. A subscrip-
tion amounting to 5000 was made for
the purpose of assisting the officers
of the Western Federation of Miners
in the defense of Meyer and Hay
wood and their comrades, who are
under arrest in Idaho.
