 ERs HAVE DISAGREEMENT.
Actaen of Convention at Birmingham May Cause over Three Thous-
 and Men te Walk

Birmingham. June 20.--A disagree nnent developed between the coal min- ers of Alabama and the Commercial Coal Operators Association today, as .n result of which resolutions were passed by the miners convention which virtually mean a strike affecting three thousand men unless some concessions are made by the operators The one contention between the miners and operators is the semi-monthly pay day which the operators want abolished, returning to the monthly pay day, and the employment of one day-laborer by each miner, which the operators insist be allowed.
 The United Mine Workers Conven- tion adjourned at noon today sine die after the doxology had been sung and prayer had The morning session was taken up with passing resolutions and listening to addresses. Addresses coun- selling "a fight to the last ditch. un- less the miners demands are acceded to were made by W. B. Wilson, Nat ionaI Secretary of the United Mine Workers of America, and congressman elect from Pennsylvania district,and by John H. Walker, Jr., of the Illinois district of United Mine Workers
 There is no difference between the miners ana operators on the "aBe queS fion, both agreeing to the renewal or last years wage scale with AT 1-2 cents per ton as the minimum for coal mining, and 57 1-2 cents as the maxi mum. The disagreement came on the mine regulations. The threatened strike will not affect any of the big furnace companies. The four big larg- est companies operate "open shop mines while the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company has renewed the old contract with the miners union. Only the Commercial Coal Operators will be involved.

WHY GROWING GIRLS NEED A
 SAFE TONIC
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Particu. larly Adapted to Their C0ndi. tion, Free From Opiates or Harmful Drugs and High. ly Recommended by
 Those Who Have
 Tried Them.

Growing girls who show weariness. want of strength, languor, gre pale and perhaps short of breath, need tonic.
 Not all tonics are suited for their use at this critical time in ;heir lives but pr. Williams Pink Pills are.
 Taken when the girl IS developing into the woman they insure. as far as medicine can, the full flower of woman hood. robust. strong and healthy.
 Neglect of the health at this time means life of misery and is often fol- lowed by a short, dry cough which is the forerunner of consumption.
 Miss Louise Westphal, of 233 Locust Street. Dubuque, Iowa. says: "A few years ago I was in a very weakened condition, one that is common to many growing girls. l was nervous most ot the time. lost weight, had a poor com plexion and no appetite. I was com pletely run down and had no ambition at all. For months was under a doc tors care but nothing helped me. My friends thought I was going into con- sumption and as my father died of that disease there seemed reason for the be- lief.
 T had been sick about a year when Dr. Williams Pink Pills were recom- mended to me by a friends who knew of another girl who had been cured by them of a trouble similar to mine. Af- ter taking three boxes I obtained relief and several more cured me. The sal- low complexion disappeared, I had a good appetite once more and am still strong and healthy in every way. I think 1t only proper to make this state- ment for the benefft of those who suf- fer because they do not know the real value of Dr. Williams Pink Pills"
 These pills are peculiarly adapted for diseases due to imp1ce blood and shattered nerves. They are invaluable in anaemia, rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and levers and in sick headaches, dizziness, nervousness and neuralgia. A valuable booklet entitled Plain Talks to Women" will be sent free, in a sealed envelope. upon request. to any woman interested.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re- ceipt of price. 50 cents per box, six boxes for s2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. F.

BELIEVES TAFT WILL BE NAMED.
Hearst Fears, However, Convention
Nav Be Stampeded for Roosevelt.

NEW YORK, August lit Is a fact of
contemporaneous human interest that Will
liam R Hearst believes that Secretary
Taft will be nominated for tn presidency
by the repubIical national convention next
summer, and II is equally interesting that
Nj Hearst believes that II he himself Is
nominated by the democratic national con-
vention he would stand good chance of
winning the presidency. His sublime faith
in himself halts at the prospect of doing
better than securing second place in a race
with President Roosevelt. but he would not
hesitate to make the start II the national
democratic convention enters him for the
presidential sweepstakes
Those who are working in Mr.. Hearsts
political interest have instructions to FOL
low closely the record of Secretary Taft
from his earliest days In college up to the
present moment. and to make the most
OF the opposition of the Foraker followers
to the Endorsement of the Secretary by the
republican state central committee OF Ohio.
In the office Of Mr.. Hearsts New York
newspaper the failure Of the Ohio republl-
can organization to indorse Secretary Tart
with unanimity. as the Pennsylvania repub-
leans Endorsed Senator Knox. Is taken as
q symptom OF the Ohioan's weakness In his
home state and as indicating that many
states will have favorite sons to present
to the nominating convention. Gov. Hughes
is likely to have the favorite commenda-
ton OF New York. but Mr.. Hearst does not
take seriously the talk of Hughes as prob
able presidential candidate. He thinks 1t
may be Taft yet fears 1t will be Roosevelt.
Bryan's New York friends would be de-
lighted to have Hearst run against Roose-
welt as the Nebraskan will find an ex-
cuse for not running II the republican con-
vention Is stampeded for Roosevelt. The re-
publicans will make their nominations nrst,
and Mr. Bryan will have time to contem-
plate the significance of third defeat be-
fore making up his mind. Mr.. Hearst,
however is willing to run against any one
the republicans may nominate, as he has
vet to be beaten twice in a presidential
campaign in the Bryan class of the near
down nd-outs.

makes II murder II one person agrees
with another to commit suicide and de-
Nberately deceives the other person. II one
person TO the compact fails to carry out the
