MICHIGAN
STATE FAIR THE
BEST IN YEARS

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 29.-The Michi-
gan state fair which opened today ap-
pears to fulfill the promise of the man
agement that the exhibition this year
was to be bigger, broader and better
than ever before. The visitors on the
opening day found everything in the
best condition for their accommodation
and entertainment. The exhibition
buildings are well filed with choice
displays illustrating the resources an6
products of the state, while the am
usement features are undoubtedly of a
higher class as well as more numerous
than in former years. The fair will
continue open until September 6, and
the indications are that during that
time there will not be less than 100,-
900 visitors come to Detroit from all
parts of Michigan and from neighbor
ing states.

TROUBLE IN RAILROAD CIRCLES.

Special to THE POST.
Denver, Aug. 29.-The relations be-
tween the western railroad representa-
tves and the representatives of their
employees are hourly becoming more
strained.
For the past two days joint confer
ences have been abandoned and each
side is now holding separate confer
ences and making and rejecting propo-
sitons and there now seems little pros
pect for joint conference between the
two committees.
The employees refuse absolutely to
make any material compromise from
their first demands.
The railroads will undoubtedly grant
the two cent an hour raise in wages but
absolutely insist that the state of the
controversy be limited to this griev-
ance.
Unless an agreement is reached very
soon the employees threaten one Of the
most disastrous railroad strikes in the
history of the Western roads.

Special to THE POST.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 29.-With their
houses creaking, windows breaking and
chimneys sinking deep into the earth
several hundred foreigners have fed
from their homes in Port View, a
South Side suburb, fearing death in
land slide which threatens to bury Scott
street 100 yards below where the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie railway recently
started to make a cut for additional
tracks.
The earth between the cut and the
hillside on which the houses stand is
underlaid with soft shale and soap
stone and the whole mass is slowly slip
ping toward the cut.
During the last "a hours the street

said porter came to the berth be

treated the plaintiff in rude and III
sulting manner, laying violent hanls
on her and making insulting proposals
which she resisted, when she drew
from her reticule small revolver and
pretended to load and point same;
that the officers and agents of the de-
fandants were well aware of the char
aeter of said negro and the probability
of such behavior on his part and ut
terly failed to warn the plaintiff or
take measures for her protection.

MINERS AND
M|NEOWNERS IN
A DEADLOCK

Goldfeld, New, Aug. 29.-After a ses-
sion that lasted until nearly ! clock
this morning, the miners union ad-
.journed without taking any action on
the change room question.
1t was expected and hoped that the
hasty action of the union last Friday in
rejecting the agreement entered into
by its committee and the consolidated
officials would be reconsidered and that
the demand for jurisdiction over all EN-
poycs in ana about the mines would
be withdrawn as untenable and in vio-
lation of the agreement entered into
between the Mineowners association
and the Western Federation of Miners
last April.
But after discussing the matter near
ly all night the union took no action,
the secretary announcing that the next
move must be made by the consolidated
company.
General Manager j. w. Finch of the
Goldfeld Consolidated Mines Co., says
significantly that the next move must
come from the miners and come quick.
The last proposition submitted to the
miners by the consolidated is absolutely
final ne said today and he was very
much in earnest. Unless the miners
rccodc from their position it is probable
that every man in the district will be
orawu into the controversy and while
it is stiii the general belief that the
differences will he adjusted there is
danger of another tie up of all the
mines in the district.

LABOR DAY
PROCLAMATION
HASBEEN ISSUED
Governor Buchtel issued the follow
ing Labor Day proclamation.
PROCLAMATION.
LABOR DAY.

One conspicuous characteristic of the
life of the American people from the
beginning has been our appreciation of
the value of labor and the dignity of
labor. The one man for whom the
American people have universal con
tempt is the man who has contempt
for labor.
In our American view of life the rich
mans son and the poor mans son are
both expected to make their contribu-
tion to the world g work. The lot of
the honest toiler has, therefore, been
happier in our country than in any
other country in the world.
The opportunities for honest toiers
in our glorious Colorado have always
been good. 1t is admitted on all sides
that these opportunities grow steadily
better.
Every honest toiler may own his own
home in Colorado and may, during the
years of his vigorous life, make ade-
quate provision for an old age of com
fort and cheer.
We have recognized by law in Colo
RADIO that the first Monday in Septem-
ber shall always be legal holiday to
be known as Labor Day.
Pursuant to law and custom, ], Henry
A. Buchtel, governor of the state OF
Clorado, do hereby proclaim Monday,
September 2, 1907, to be legal holiday
known among us as Labor Day and do
hereby call upon all citizens to cease
their regular occupation and to dedi-
cate their entire day to the cultivation
of good fellowship.
In this way we shah be able to show
to the world that employees and employ
ers in Colorado are wishing to dwell
together in mutual respect and mutual
appreciation.
Both the rich man and the poor man
hunger for friendship as intensely as
they hunger for bread
This is natural. God has written it
into the constitution of every human
being. Let us, therefore, make Labor
Day day of good cheer and good fel
lowship in which every man shall come
to have feeling of kindly interest in
the welfare and comfort of every other
man.
In testimony whereof, l have here.
unto set my hand and caused the great

NEW YORK.

Better weather and improved road.
have developed stronger tone and great
er activity in dstributive trade, increased
deliveries of grain by farmers and slight
ly relieved the congestion in transporta-
ton lines. though the latt- situation is
still far from perfect.
Cold weather and price concessions
have helped to move remaining stocks of
winter goods. With wholesalers and job
bers, deliveries on orders are the main oc-
cupation, but there is apparently little let
up in the demand for cotton goods for
anything like spring or summer delivery.
Freer movement of grain has led to ease
in wheat, corn and oats. and enormous
receipts of cotton have made for a similar
condition in this line.

Homemade Catarrh Cure.

Any one can mix at home the,
best remedy Of its kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the follow
Ing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause Of its promptness in driving from
the blood and system every vestige Of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease, no matter where located.
To prepare the mixture: Get from any
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one ounce Conn
pound Kargon and three ounces Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake Well
and use In teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime.
This is harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has peculiar action upon'
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal
polsons, which, il not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous membrane
and an open sore or catarrh is the re-
suit
Prepare some and try 1t, as 1t Is the
prescription OF an eminent catarrh spe-'
cialist of national reputation.

CHICAGO.

The progressive tendencies which thus
faT have characterized business activity
maintain their ascendency. Better wealth
er permitted rapid recovery where trade
was interrupted by recent storms, and
there is more push in leading retail lines,
new construction and transportation of
heavy materials from the factories. Mar
keting of crops has declined, but this is
temporary, and reports as to winter
wheat are encouraging, damage to exposed
fields being slight. The markets for pro-
visions and live stock excite much inter
est. speculative buying having forced
values to a high level, although it is con-
ceded that the raw material and stocks
in store are below normal needs of con-
sumption. Crude materials for factory
conversion display sustained strength, and
the general demand remains vigorous as
ever.
Conditions in the distributive branches
become more favorable with the advancing
winter season. State street sales picked
up sharply during the few mild days and
for the month thus far are larger than a
year ago. Dealings in the jobbing lines
have expanded equal to expectations.
Bookings rose to an exceptional aggregate
in the textiles, footwear, food products,
mems wear and furniture, and numerous
large orders are marked for early ship
ment to various interior points. Road
statesmen send in satisfactory orders from
the Southwest and the cotton region, while
advices still inspire confidence in the mer-
chandising outlook throughout the west
ern territory.

"My baby was about nine months old
VIXEN she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out I had always used Cuticurar
Soap myself, and h;d Seard of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I
thought / would give them trial. The
improvement was noticeable in n few
hours, and before l had used one box
Of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled her
since. l also used 1t to remove what
is known as "cradle cap" from her
head, and it worked like charm, as
1t cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Now keep Cuticura Oint-
ment on hand in case of any little rash,
or insect bites, as 1t takes out the in
flammation at once. Perhaps this may
be the means Of helping other suffering
