FLAGS STOP ROAD BUILDING.
Unique Method Used to Bring Railroad
Company to Time.

Carlisle, Pa, May 5.-The American
flag was used with good effect by the
heirs OF Theophilus Strayer in prevent
ing a railroad engineering corps from
completing a survey across their farm
near the Dillsburg intersection of the
Cumberland valley and the Pittsburg
Harrisburg & Philadelphia branches of
the Reading railroad.
Several days ago engineers made a
survey on the. farm and drove the
stakes. The next morning the engi-
neers found that all the stakes had been
pulled up and in their : places were
American flags, the staffs resting in the
holes left by the stakes. The engi-
neers received warning that they must
not disturb the flags. The railroad
company is building a double track
from Harrisburg to Shippensburg,
which necessitates the use of a por-
ton Of the Strayer property.
Although it is said the right of way
had previously been secured. the flags
are still floating and all work has been
suspended until the company files a
proper bond. which it has failed to do.
When this has been done the flags will
be removed.

MINERS GROWING RESTLESS.
Some Reports of Disaffection in the
Pittsburg Territory.


Pittsburg Territory.
Pittsburg. Kan, May 5.-Reports of
disaffection in the ranks of the miners
at Cherokee are the first that have
come of any change in the situation
since the suspension over a month ago.
A Cherokee coal man stated last even
ing that a petition was being circulated
among the miners of Cherokee to be
sent to the district executive board de-
4nanding that the relief funds be sent
there, and declaring that unless they
received assistance from the district
board they would return to work
This is the only case in the district
however, which has reported disaffec-
ton. Some relief money has been sent
to Cherokee, $50 having been sent last
week from the district treasury. Even
this amount has resulted in hard feel
ing in this town. however. It seems
that the miners local took the bulk of
the amount and put il with a store in
Cherokee, and has been issuing orders
on that store to miners families who
need assistance.
The coal operators who all operate
stores in Cherokee, were ignored, and
none of the money was deposited in
their stores.
There is no change in the situation
over the district. The bulk of the
miners are patiently waiting for some
thing to turn up
On paper. there are a goodly number
Of companies signed up, possibly 40 in
all. but they are mostly small gin
shaft mines which employ very few
men, and the output of the mines work
ing would not reach 10 per cent Of the
total. The Babelle Coal company mine,
north of Pittsburg; the Eureka Deep
Vein Coal company, at Cherokee; the
Spencer Skidmore shaft at Mineral: the
Rcseland mine and number of small
mines around Weir and Scammon are
among those in operation. The strip
pit operations are being extensively
pushed, not being involved in the pres
ent suspension.
At miners headquarters It was stated
/ that there was nothing doing" and no
new developments had come up.
I Among the operators the same state
ment was made, although the operators
say they are looking for a meeting of
/ the Southwestern association to be held
soon in Kansas City, and it may be that
I this meeting viii result in a call being
! issued for another conference with the
/ miners This conference. it is fully ex-
+ pected, will result in a settlement when
4 it is held, for there is a general desire
among the miners and operators both to
terminate the present suspension and
reopen the mines again.
Some Of the local unions in the dis
triet which have funds in their treas
uries are establishing commissaries in
the camps where the miners can get
/ supplies and provisions. Among those
which have established comnissaries
are the Chicopee, Fleming and Ashley
! local unions.

Neglected Catarrl1 Become:
Chronic.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to
occur to at least one-half of the hu-
man family unless means are taken
to prevent.
First, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh-
Second, catarrh improperly treated
is sure to make life short and mlser-
able.
The Destructive Power of Catarrh.
Catarrh spars no organ or function
of the body.
It is capable of destroying sight,
taste. smell hearing. digestion, secre-
ton, assimilation. and excretion.
It pervades every part of the human
body head. throat, stomach, bowels.
bronchial tubes. lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs.
Curative Power OF Pe-ru-na.
There is probably no fact in popular
medical science better established than
that a teaspoonfu1 of Peruna before
each meal will surely lessen the danger
of catching cold.
Now, since this is true, and expert
ence bears 1t out most forcefully, thou
sands of lives would be saved. and
tens of thousands OF cases of chronic
catarrh prevented by this simple pre-
caution within the reach or everyone
Peruna is not simply a palliative to
relive some of the distressing symp-
toms. It brings permanent relief.

Mr.. John c. Russell SO County St,
Portsmouth, Va, writes, regarding his
wife's case, as follows:
Il thought I would be doing but
justice to your great medicine to tell
you what it has done for my wife.
Two years ago the doctor called at
our house on an average Of three
times a week in attendance upon my
wife who was suffering from acute in
digestion.
while on a visit to some friends
she had an attack and I prepared to
go for the doctor when our friend pro-
posed Peruna-
81 gave her a dose, repeating it in a
half hour, and her pains passed away.
Since that time my wife has gained
thirty pounds.
1--WE are never out of Peruna. When
the children or have a cold we take
some of mammals Peruna.
II find that it has cut my doctor
bills down to almost nothing"
Keep Pe-ru-na on Hand.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Klee, 215 E.
| 4th ST., Topeka. Kas.. write:

IA NEW ASSISTANT
 TO CAPT. ALEXANDER
fir. Edwin F. Jones Becomes Assis-
 tant U. 5. Attorney.

Announcement was made yesterday
 of the appointment of Edwin F. Jones
 as assistant United States attorney for
 this territory to succeed Walter B,
 Kibbey, whose resignation was sent to
 the department of justice a month ago.
 MT. Jones was appointed by the attor-
 ney-general of the United States, and
 on account of his distinguished legal
 ability and experience the appointment
 is most acceptable to United States At torney Alexander.
 MT. Jones is of middle age and for some time past has been engaged in
 the practice of law in New Mexico. He
 was in Phoenix as a visitor for short
 time about five years ago. He will be stationed at Tucson where he will
 shortly take his family.
 MT. Jones is a brother of Hon. Thom- as Goode Jones of Montgomery, Ala, | United States district judge for the northern and eastern districts of Ala,
 bama. Judge Jones is one of the most distinguished residents of that state | He was governor of Alabama from l 1890 to 1894. His administration was marked by his activity in the suppress. ion of lawlessness durin gthe great railroad and mining strikes. He fought through the war of the rebellion, at- | taining the rank of major.
 The new assistant United States at | torney has lived fn different parts of the west for several years. He will en- ter upon his duties today. Mir. Kibbey will return to Prescott and resume his law partnership with Attorney General Clark, which was interrupted by his appointment to the position of assist ant United States attorney under Judge Nave. When the latter was sue ceeded by United States Attorney Alex ander Mir. Kibbey submitted his re- ! signation but Captain Alexander re- fused to receive it and forwarded it to the department of justice Mir. Kibbey then remained until it was determined to bring the office from Tucson to Phoenix. In that case it would havt been necessary for his assistant to re> main in Tucson. MT. Kibbey then for warded his resignation which was sent to the attorney general who accepted it and appointed MT. Jones. It was rIA mored about that time that W. F.. Cooper of Tucson would probably suo ceed MT. Kibbey.
 Arrangements are now complete for the removal of the office of United States attorney from Tucson to Pboa-
 -N' iN iieAu DCSh TUT SOiIe tune previous to the administration of JudgA Nave. The paraphernalia will bs brought to this city within two or threG days.
 Announcement was also made yesteN day of the appointment of O. E. Schupp as clerk in the office of the United States attorney to succeed Mrs. Lor- raine McMillin MT. Schupp has beeE stenographer in the office of Street yS Alexander for several years.
