ATTACK STREET CARS
STRIKE sYMPATHIZERsA AT LOUIS
VILE iNJURE HALF A DOZ.
EN- PERSONS.

Louisville, KY, March ia con-
tinuation of disorders; the suspension
of service at o'clock In the afternoon
after an intermittent and Intellectual
service and the first move toward in
tervention by the commercial interests
of the city were the features Of the
third day of the strike of the union
employees of the Louisville Railway
company. During the day half dozen
persons, all policemen or employees Of
the company, were hurt, none Of them
dangerously, however, by stones and
flying glass as the result of attacks
on cars by strike sympathizers. A
few more cars were run than on the
previous day but the patronage
amounted to nothing.
Committees representing the bust
ness interests called on Mayor Barta
to lay before him reports Of made
quate force of police for protection Of
cars and passengers and suppression
of disorders. Mayor Barth pledged
himself to see that police protection
would be up to all requirements. The
committee sent subcommittee to con-
fer with President Minary of the rail-.
way company. The result of this con-
ference was strictly guarded. 1t was
reported, however, on good authority
that the commercial bodies urged Mr..
Minary to consent to an arbitration of
the strike issues, but that no definite
decision was arrived at and further
negotiations are looked for.
Cars were stoned and their windows
broken, switches plugged, wagons
placed on tracks, and in one instance
a barricade six feet high was erected
across the tracks at Eighteenth and
Chestnut streets. The suburban serv-
ice, which was discontinued at 8
o'clock Monday afternoon, has not
been resumed, and the street car COM
pany announced that no attempt will
be made at present to operate cars on
these branches of the city service.
The days events seemed to have
demonstrated that the street railway
company has not the men to run its
cars, even il they are given police pro-
lection, although over 100 strike
breakers arrived from Chicago and
Cincinnati. The strikers claim to
have won over a fourth of these. Over
400 more men are reported to be on
their way from Chicago, Cincinnati
and ST. Louis.

A succession OF colds or a protracted
cold is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh, from which few persons ever
wholly recover. Give every cold the

highly recommended as a cure for colds.

Several years ago l was bothered with
my throat and lungs. Someone told
me of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. |

once. l used it for some time and it
cured me. Now my throat and lungs
are sound and WELL" For sale by all

SUDDENLY POSTPONED.
Sitting Of the Lower House Of the
Russian Parliament.


st. Petersburg, March 13.-The
pending sitting Of the lower house of
parliament, which was scheduled for
Wednesday, has been suddenly post
poned to March Is. The formal rea-
son given for the postponement is be-.
cause further time is deemed neces-
sary for the completion of the work
of the committee on credentials, but
the Constitutional Democrats do not
conceal that the real reason for Presi-
dent Golivin's action is due to the
fact that the Conservatives planned a
monarchial demonstration for March
IA, the occasion of the anniversary Of
the assassination of Alexander II. The
Conservatives purposed Unexpectedly
to bring before the douma proposal
TO hold a reunion service for Alexan-
der H., which they hoped would take
the opposition unawares and provide
an unprecedented anti-monarchial
demonstration such as the failure of
the Radicals to honor the mention dur
ing the opening exercises of parlia-
ment of the emperor's name by rising.
NJ Frenkel, member of the former
douma, has been sentenced to two
years Imprisonment for having circu-
lated pamphlet dealing with the last
dOuma.

Dangers From Grip.

An attack of grip seldom result ia
tally but it is the indirect cause of
many deaths. If it does not result in
pneumonia, which is frequently the
case, it leaves it's victim with: cough
which fingers on long after every other
symptom of the disease has vanished.
The system is thus left in weaken
ed condition and is susceptible to al
most every other disease. The grip
can be greatly lessened in its severity
if Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
used, and any tendency toward pneu-
monia is promptly checked. There is
no medicine which has met with great
er success in the treatment of this di-
sease. 1t cures the cough and leaves
the system in natural and healthy
condition. For sale by all druggists.

panelling of a jury to try Abraham
Ruef for extortion will be begun in
Judge Dunne's court in the morning.
While counsel for Ruef would not au-

would make no further effort to stay
Judge Dunno, it was admitted by one
Of the attorneys conducting his de-

in the morning.
Ruef's appeal for bail was refused
by Judge Dunno, and his counsel then
applied to the state supreme court,
asking there writ Of habeas corpus.
Chief Justice Beatty. however, said it
Is not at all likely action will be
taken in the matter before Thursday.
This contingency probably became
