Rheumatic Pains
An Account Of Painful and Deforming
Disease.

Many persons claim that they can for
tell changes in the weather, the only eX-
planation for their knowledge being that
they feel ii in their bones" This is not
foolish notion. The nerves OF persons
suffering from rheumatism are more
highly sensitive than those of other peo-
pie, and for that reason they are more
easily affected by any change in the at
moSphcre.
Rheumatism is the subtle foe which
steals away the joy of life. 1t gets into
your joints and Your muscles. 1t comes
and stays and everything you do to dis
lodge it seems useless. Sometimes it Laws
you up, sometimes it lets ycu dra y

when you make quick or an unguarded
movement.

cured your rheumatism that DR.. Greene's

DEADLOCK CONTINUES.
No Agreement Yet on Wage Scale by
Miners and Operators.

indianapolis. Ind, March 23.-The
deadlock between coal operators and
miners Of the Central Competitive and
the Southwestern Districts continued
today throughout the MEETINGS of the
two Joint scale committees and when
the meetings adjourned late this after
noon no agreement had been reached
on the wage scale. The differences seem
as far from adjustment as ever. Both
Joint scale committees will meet to-
morrow.
+. L. Robbins of the western Penn
sylvdnia operators was the target to-
day for several vigorous attacks on his
position in favor of paying the scale
Of 1903, which would mean an advance
of 5.55 per cent. in wages and which
would comply with the demands of the
miners. One of the most heated of these
attacks was made by J. B. Zerhe Of
Cleveland for the Ohio operators.
Mr.. Robbins said he did not propose
to be dictated to by the operators of
Illinois. Indiana and Ohio. He said
his position was fair and just to all in
terests: and the PittsDurg Coal Co.,
which he represents, vas willing to pay
tIic GONI1Cc Ill hiStS iSkc'l. ne SAN

Ohio and Illinois and ne had received
notice from an Illinois coal company
having an output of I.00G 600 tons an
nuaIly that it has instructed its repre-
sentativcs to vote with him. Mr.. Rob-
bins said the country would not per-

orators, in reply 10 q question of Mr..
Robbins. said that if the Pittsburg Coal
Co. rai3 the advance aud operated its
mines. the independent opera tors of
western Pennsylvania would do like
wise.
The Gisscnsinns an,ong the operators
became 50 heated that the operators
asked the miners To withdraw for an
hour. This was done ana at the end of
the period the operators asked for an
adjournment Until tomorrow as they
had not finished their discussion. This
action was taken. The operators con-
tinued in session FOR an hour longer
and then adjourned. after arranging
for conferences by states.
The southwestern district accom-
plishcd nothing today. President Mitch
