aSTRKE SITUATION
 IS IMPROVING DALI Y"
Manager Fonville Of Western Union Declares Messages Are Now Mov- ing With Less Delay Than
 Heretofore.

Manager c. A. Fonville of the Vest ern Union office ir>Montgomery. said yesterday:
 The strike situation is improving daily. Tn each mall we receive notifl- cation of from two to half dozen of fees having been re-opened. Messages are moving with less delay. and pre- surne the business men of Montgomery and other cities have noticed the im- provement.
 'If majority of men in any busi- ness should quit work in a body, 1t would, of course, take some little time to fill their places. and get the situa- tion in a normal State.
 The striking operators have sent out dodgers over the city saying mail your telegrams and keep the change but 1t occurs to me that the business men have not taken the advice; our business increased considerably yester- day. If we were really short on help. the advice the operators give the pub lie, to mall telegrams would be to our interest. It is easy to make claims and they may be whistling to keep up their courage.
 If my understanding is correct the company officials will. under no cir cumstances, meet their committee It will show weakness on the part of the first side who asks for a conference.
 We realize that the public is due consideration, and we are working eighteen hours a day to see that they get the best we can give, under ad- verse conditions, and If our work is not appreciated then we do not know our Montgomery people. We have no apologies to make for our action in trying our best to maintain a telegraph service to all the world. If the strike lasts six weeks I shall be very much surprisedP'

Fishing From Car Windows.

Passengers on Southern Pacific
overland trains are having rare sport
trolling from car windows for fish in
the Salton sea and good catches have
been made. About midway on the sea
an arroyo extends back into the noun
tains. The track crosses this on a
trestle. The water is fifteen to TWEEN
ty-ive feet deep, and it has become a
custom of the dining "a porter to
throw scraps overheard from the ia.
bIes there. Thousands of firsh of all
sizes lie in wait for the train and can
be easily seen.
A few days ago an i~rrepressible fish.
erman prepared his hook and line, and
as the train slowly Numbered over the
long trestle swung it far out over the
water. This the fish mistook for their
customary meal, and a voracious carp,
three feet long, seized the bait and
was drawn aboard the Pullman.

ENCOURAGING FACTS
THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE
OF RESIDENCE SHOULD
READ THEM.

The other day the writer was in the
Office of the Canadian Government at
st. Paul, Minnesota. On the windows
of the building were signs to the effect
that homesteads of 100 acres were
given free to actual settlers, and in
the windows were displays of wheat,
oats, barley, other grains and vege-
tables, which he was told were grown
in Western Canada. This could be
readily believed for in no other coun-
try on the Continent would it be pos
sible to grow such splendid specimens.
The world is now pretty well advised
that in the growing of such cereals
as have been named and vegetables as
we'll the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta have PC
competitor. For several years past
specimens have been exhibited. at
State and County Fairs throughout the
State. and these exhibits are looked
upon as n of the chief attractions
They have demonstrated what can be
done in the climate of a country pos,
sessing a soil that will grow things.
But that it was possible to grow vege-
tables such as were seen there seemed
to create some doubt. But it was
the case. And apples too. Not of
course the splendid fruit grown in
countries more c%ongenial to such cul-
ture, but they were in evidence.
Throughout Indiana, the hoosier farm
ers were forced to stop and think.
When a similar exhibit was placed be,
fore them during the past few weeks,
many of them were forced to stop and
remark: THAT is much ahead of any
thing we can do. The quality of the
grain we have conceded, for has not
so-and-so sent us samples grown on
his own farm the like of which we had
never q e before. But to think OF
the vegetables-and such vegetables.
Why, We thought everything was
frozen up there, and these turnips,
cahbages, cauliaoweTs, beets, man,
Colds, pumpkins, and squashes are
away ahead of anything we ever saw
grow" That is the story everywhere.
Thousands of Western Canada home.
steaders, formerly United States citi
zens, are growing just such grain, just
such vegetables, which yield them a
splendid profit with little outlay on the
farms that they have secured from the
Government of the Dominion of Can
ada at the nominal cost of $40 for 160
acres. If adjoining land is wanted it
can be secured from the railway COM
/ panies or from private individuals at
moderate prices and reasonable terms.

LABOR METHODS ARE ATTACKED

Washington, Nov. 15.-The case OF
the Buck Stove and Range company
of st. Louis against the American
Federation of Labor, brought to enjoih
the federation, with it's membership of
over 1000, 900 persons, from boycott
ting the products of the plaintiff com.
pany, was given a hearing before JUS
tice Gould yesterday in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia.
The case has attracted widespread
interest because of the effect of the
ultimate action on vital principles of
organized labor and possible far-reach,
ing developments of a political ma
ture.
VIII Go to Hisest Court.
1t is generally understood that,
whether the prosecution or the de-
tense wins in the decision of the dis
trict court, the case will be carried
to the supreme court of the United
States.
The bill of equity in the Buck Stove
case, heard yesterday, cites the power

the methods of which it is claimed the
entire forces of the federation are
concentrated on an especial boycott
In this case, while the application OF
the Sherman antitrust law is Only in,
cidentally involved, it does involve
the question, important to business in
~terests, as to whether the unfair" and
I'VE don't ~patronize" lists as published
in the Federationist constitute an un
lawful boycott.
Contention Of Defense.
The defense contended that the pro
ceeding was an attempt to invoke the
Sherman antitrust law without war
rant therefor; that 1t was an attempt
to bring into the jurisdiction Of the
courts of the District of Columbis
people from all parts Of the country
and that the subject was not a proper
one for Injunction. They argue that
the Federationist simply published 6

speech and press. Arguments Of coun
sci occupied most of the day.

Prohibition In Alabama.

Montgomery, Ala, July.-These are perilous times for the liquor interests, and slip may result in their being almost put out of the state. A bill has been passed by the Senate to make all saloons close up early. Those in towns of 10000 and less, at p. m.; over that to 15000, D. m., and over that 9 D. m. Another bill is favora- bly reported to prevent shipment of liquors into prohibition territory. Al ready bills have been passed for dis pensaries in many of the counties, and a local option bill that can be used to put the business out of any coun- ty in four weeks time by vote. There is also feeling that if the liquor men make too big disturbance about what has been done and is now be ing done there will be a straight pro- hibition opposition to put the whole saloon business out of the state.

SAVED BY USE OF WATER
Man Given Up to Die of Stomach Troubles Cured Himself by
 Natures Remedy.

Two years ago wise stomach spe' cialist in Boston told William Good man of Jackson, N. H., that he had a malady that could not be cured.
 The malady had long Latin name Goodman failed to remember more than five minutes, but 1t had such an awful sound that he be- lieved the doctor was right.
 "You can't live more than a couple of months," the physician said, "so you had better go home and take things easy."
 Goodman went home, made his will and waited for death. While he was waiting an aunt from Con- cord, N. H., visited him and heard all about the terrible stomach dis ease. She wasn't convinced that her nephew had to die.
 ''I know a man in Concord who was a lot worse off than you are and he cured himself by drinking water" she said. "He just slushed it down by the gallon"
 Goodman had always fought shy of water, believing that it wasn't good for the system, but he now be- gan to take large quantities of the fluid. In a few days he was sur prised to find that he felt better.
 At the end of a month the im- provement was marked and at the expiration of six weeks he was con- siderably stronger and had gained two pounds. From this time on the gain was steady, until to-day the man is in perfect health and can eat a Welsh rabbit at midnight without feeling i'll effects.
 In the two years Goodman drank four quarts of water day, being careful not to drink 20 minutes be- fore eating or within an hour there after. He has thus consumed 2,92O quarts of water. He has used neith- er tea, coffee nor spirits but has drunk a good deal of milk. He eats meats, potatoes, vegetables and sweets. In fact he dimes on ordinary food, save that he abstains from pastry.
