bill was passed granting to the Capitol

the Missouri river in Montana.
A bill to pay the claim of the French
Transatlantic Cable company for S777l2,

he was chosen to offer the amendment and
speak on IT, He will say that the amend
ment meets the demands Of those who have
opposed the pending bill on the ground that
without provision for judicial review the
measure is unconstitutional and that it is
satisfactory to the real friends of the bill.
Others who participated in the conference
have pledged themselves to support the
amendment. They believe that If it is
shown that there is a majority of the
senate in favor Of the measure the bill as
It is proposed to amend It will be passed

was decided to keep the mines in readiness
for operation should the men ignore the
scale demands.
The most important development In this
city was a conference between A ]. Cas-
sat-, president of the Pennsylvania Rail
road company and George f. Baer. presi-
dent of the Reading railroad, in the lat
ters office. Shortly after the departure of
President Cassatt, w. G. Brown, secre-
tary Of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal
and Iron company. was summoned by Mr..
Baer. Most of the statistics bearing on
the mining operations of the Reading com
pany are compiled under the direction OF
Mr.. Brown. Neither Mr.. Baer nor Mr..
Cassatt would discuss the object OF their
conference. President Baer stated, how
ever. that the Reading company would
probably keep its collieries open on Mon
day In order 10 give any miners who de-
sire an opportunity to go to work.
Mr.. Baer stated that 1t was the inten-
ton OF the Reading company to continue
the existing coal prices. He said the COM
pany would make every effort to discourage
speculation on the part of the retail deal
ers and declared that the charging Of eX-
orbitant prices by retailers would result

While complete reports Of the anthracite
operations for the month OF March have

production will break all records. The
Reading cOmpany's output is expected 10
reach 100000 tons. which would indicate
/ total production of $4,000 tons.

by the progress here in Cairo. This city
is now in many respects ahead Of towns of

 stomach Trouble After Typhoid.
 MT. D. c. Prosser. R. F. D. 3, Shelby Mich, writes:
 T had run of Typhoid fever and was very depleted. could find noth- Ing I could eat without it's causing distress and sour stomach.
 T consulted our physician. He said he did not know what could do ex- cept being careful as to what I ate and as everything ate disagreed with , me, that was not much consolation.
 T finally came to the conclusion that I had catarrh of the stomach and see- ing Peruna advertised. I began taking 1t.
 1 Tt helped me soon and after three or I four bottles I was entirely cured of stomach trouble and can now eat any thing"
 The rational cure for stomach and bowel troubles caused by catarrh is the removal of the catarrh.
