CRISIS HAS BEEN REAoHEDl

Associated Press DlsDatch by special Wires
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, April 2S.-President
Mitchell today received the reply OF the
coal operators to the proposals made by
the scale committee Of the miners. To a
reporter for the Associated Press Mr..
Mitchell said he would 60 over the letter
carefully and might make a reply to it
later in the day.
The coal operators and miners of this
region now think that the crisis has been
reached and that President Mitchell will
hold the balance OF power in the Scranton
convention Should he favor strike,
the delegates, it is thought, will not hesi-
tate TO vote for one. On the other hand,
should he use his influence in having the
convention accept the peace plan OF the
operators, there is little doubt that the
delegates would uphold him.

Cambridge, Mass, April 2s.--Tele-
Grams received today from the Chicago
police by the local authorities were to
ihe effect that Erich Muenter an instruc-
tor at Harvard University, who is wanted
on the charge of numbering his wife had
left that city and that there seemed to
he no indications as to where he had
gone. II was commonly understood
among Muenter's friends, however, that
he intended TO return TO Cambridge
The police authorities and college Off
cials seem greatly mystiied over the case
inasmuch as Muenter had an excellent
reputation and was an earnest worker
in the German department and was
active also in tutoring when not engaged
in college work No motive has appeared
for the alleged crime, which was com
mitted, il is charged, by arsenic, the
poison having caused the woman's death

Phelps
Rheumatic
Elixir

Oser Guarler Of a century ago this remedy put
the Market and although advertised but te became,
and is to-day. the biggest selling rheumatic medicine in
America This is remarkable in view Of the fact that few
rheumatic remedies have proven success either TO
the manufacturer to the sufferer and with the exception
of Phelps Rheumatic Elixir none can boast Of life Of
over 10 or u years
There is only conclusion to be drawn from these
facts and that is that the long life Of success Of Phelps
Rheumatic Elixir due entirely to the wonderful and
CepOna merit il possesses as a positive for rheu-
malism in all its lOrms Many rich mans home has been
made happier and many poor cripple has been relieved Of
his crutches and and put in condition to earn good
living again by the merits Of this remedy.
It makes difference what your past experience with
socaed rheumatic has been, it has nothing to do
with Phelps Rheumatic Elixir Sufferers usually hum
bugged and fooled with rheumatic remedies but it is just
the with this medicine The sufferers that don't
lake it are The only ones that gel fooled.
Stop being fooled and spend your money in the future
