his own on showdown with most OF
those who would be willing to take such
a doubtful prize as the Republican nom

"Of course, Mr. Manney could expect
no assistance from Alderman Dunns

OUTLOOK is PROMISING.
Majority OF the Operators VIII Sign
1903 Scale.

Columbus o., April Notwithstanding
the expressed determination of the ma
jority Of the Ohio coal operators not to
grant an advance In wages to their min
erS, the prospects of aVerting a pro-
tracted strike IN the Ohio fields seem
decidedly more hopeful tonight.
TOday'S developments appear to leave
little doubt as to the course that will be
pursued by the executive board of the
Ohio Mine Workers when It meets to-
morrow to determine the policy of the
miners in this state with reference to
the signing of contracts President Green
of the Ohio Mine Workers organization.
who opposed the Perry resolution at the
Indianapolis con ventiOn authorizing the
signing of contracts with any operators
who agree to pay the 1893 scale, said to-
day that he would waive his personal
views and conform his action to the
spirit of the Perry resolution. The policy
to be pursued by the Ohio miners rests
entirely with their executive board, and
President Green's attitude Will have great
weight In shaping its decision.
Up to the present time, six coal COM
panies In Ohio have declared their will
lfngness to pay the 1903 scale. These
companies control an annual output of
about 100000 tons, or about One-sixth
of the total output of the state a num-
Der of other operators haze intimated that
they will pay the 1903 scale, but they are
waiting the action of the miners execu-
tive board to announce their position.

Emperor Wilhelm visited Crefeld in

do SO, and today a regiment of Hus-
sars arrived here from Dusseldorf,
and with it came the emperor, who
had decided to take part in the regi-
ment's reception. The young women
of the city enthusiastically acclaimed
the soldiers and handed the staff Off
GERS heaps of floral offerings for his
majesty. The latter. replying TO the
mayors speech of welcome, said:
Il have kept my word. Today I
have given the town it's garrison and
the young ladies their partners"
The emperOr's remarks were greeted
with cheers.
The city, which is the center Of the
silk and velvet industry. was gaily
decorated for the occasion. a mile Of
the principal streets being hung with
decorations of velvet and silk.
Since the emperor made his promise
TO the young women at Crefeld in 1903,
the reichstag appropriated the sum Of
money necessary to erect a permanent
barracks here. which have been con-
structed for the accommodation of a
regiment of cavalry.

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

fIRsT.-That almost every operation
IN our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
ana painful periods, displacements
OF the female organs, pain in the side.
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, Az-
Zlness and sleeplessness.
SECoNR.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number OF
absolute cures of female ills is lydia

1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infiam.
nation OF the female organs, weak
ness and diSplacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains 1t has also proved itself
invaluable In preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIkD.-The great volume of unso
hcited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at LYNN.
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
sOlute evidence of the value of lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
t0Women.-Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited tn
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman. rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.
