DISCUSSED SITUATION.

Chicago, Dec. "A joint commit
tee of railroad managers, interested
directly and indirectly in the switch
mems strike of the northwest, dis
cussed the situation today between
themselves and with representatives
,of the Chicago business men, who are
|apprehensive of the congetion OF
freight traffic in other sections be.
sides the present storm centers.
The joint committee issued the fol
lowing statement:
THE millions of people who suffer
by the growing paralysis of traffic on
the thirteen railways entering st. Pau
|and Minneapolis, and the throwing
out of employment of thousands en-.
gagged in mining, manufacture and
commercial business, should know
that the situation is due to the re-
fusal Of the switchmen's Union to
abide by the proposed arbitration Of
the differences. That the strike was
called notwithstanding the commits
!sioner's suggestion and the managers
offer to arbitrate violates the spirit
OF fair play which Americans regard
as the fundamental principles be-
tween employers and employees.
Notwithstanding that President
Hawley, of the Switchmen, joined
with this committee in a telegram
sent to Messrs. Knapp and Neill, in
viting mediation under the Erdman
act, the strike order was issued, with
out the knowledge of the managers
committee of the mediators, directing
the switehmen to cease work in the
Ievent their full demands were not
conceded, in violation of good faith,
which led to the present conditions.
The transportation of pershable
freight has become practically i'm.
possible, with the result of hardships
to the public. Every effeort will be
made to restore transportation con
ditions to normal at the earliest pos
sible moment"

TIE sWITcHMEN,s STAND.

st. Paul. Dec 2.--At the suggestion
of Hawley, Mayor Lawler, legal coun-
sci for the Switchmens Union, this
afternoon defined the position of the
men refusing to arbitrate, said the
managers in making a concerted ap-
peal through the press to create pub
lie opinion in their favor, are not in
a position to charge the men with un
fairness in refusing to arbitrate, for
the reason that the managers through
tion relative to the increase in wages.
Lawler says the Erdman law is so
hedged about with legal provisions
that should the switchmen agree to ar
bitrate under 1t, they would be strip
ped of all legal power to legitiamately
press their claims. 1t would put them
completely in the power af the rail
roads.
Lawler says, admitting the the de,
cision would be favorable to the
switchmen the railroads might appeal
to the courts and delay the final de
Icision one or two years, during which
time they would be compelled to work
under the cid schedule, and it would
be illegal for them to strike or aid
any strike.

istered S2.5 degrees, which shows an
increase of 32.5 degrees over the
temperature recorded for the same
day last year.
The government thermometer reg
istered 1Ol degrees at noon Septem-
ber s, 1904. Today the mercury
reached the highest point since that
time. No prostrations have been an
nounced. All the bay cities report
the hottest day OF the year. At the
Chabot observatory In Oakland the
thermometer reached D2 degrees be-
fore noon. A steady breeze made
the heat bearable and no serious ef-
fects were reported.
The hot wave also reached Stock
ton and other San Joaquin valley
points. The noon temperature there
was 92 degrees. AZ Sacramento the
official temperature at noon was 90
degrees and he chances seemed good
for the mercury 10 climb 10 at least

The Supreme Court.
Charlotte Chronicle

Charlotte thrOHlcle.
The bar OF Harnett county last
week assembled at the close OF a
term of court there and gave high
praise to the ability and zealOusness
of Judge W. r. Allen, who presided
at the term, and then ended up with
a set of resolutions in this significant
way: eve assure him that whether
he remains on the Circuit Court bench
Of the State or is promoted to a
higher sphere of usefulness to our
State, or returns to private life, he
will always be attended by our best
wishes and our prayers" This de-
liverance having caught the atten-
ton of The Wilmington Dispatch,
that paper views it in the nature OF
an "Omnious rumbling," connecting
it with the retirement of Judge Con
nor from the Supreme Court bench
and the appointment OF Judge Man
ming as his successor. The Dispatch
regards the Harnett county resolu-
tions as "pretty, suitable, of course,
but decidedly significant" 1t thinks
the resolutions throw weight to the
contention that there is going to be
a fight. Naturally" says The Dis
patch, Judge Manning will want to
retain his seat and tlooks like Judge
Allen will greatly dssire for him to
relinquish it. SO something interest
ing and strenuous may be expected
over this one position of the Supreme
Court at any event. The time of
Chief Justice Clark also expires next
term, and there is apt to be acOntest
over that position. Judge Walkers
term also ends, but it looks as if he
will be unanimously renominated by
the Democratic party. The terms OF
Judges Hoke and Brown do not ex-
pire for two years thereafter" The
Harnett county resolutions may be
properly regarded in the nature OF a
''rumbing" While Judge Manning
has all the odds on his side, the indi-
cations are that he is going to run
up against a pretty stiff sort of a
contest.

Vance's Scattered Nation. u

The following is the beginning OF
the peroration OF that matchiess
lecture. "The Scattered Nation" by
ZebuIon b. Vance:
Il have stood on the summit OF
the monarch Of our great Southern
Alleehanies and seen the night flee
away before the chariot wheels OF
the god Of day. The stars receded
before the pillars OF lambient fire that
pierced the zenith, and thousand
rugged mountain peaks began to
peer I'D from the abysmal darkness,
each looking through the vapory seas
that filed the gOrges like an island
whose iutting and confounded base
was swilled by the wild and wasteful
ocean. AS this curtain was lifted
more and more, and the eastern
brightness grew in radiance and in
glory, animate nature prepared to
receive her lord; the tiny snOwbird
from it's heat in the turf began chirp-
ing to it's young, the silver pheasant
sounded its morning drumbeat for it's
mate in the heritage, whilst the lordly
eagle. rising straight upward from
his home on the crags, with pinions
wide spread, barred his golden breast
to the yellow beams, screamed his
welcome to the sun in his coming.
Soon the vapors of the night are
lifted upon shafts of fire, rolling and
seething in pillows of refulgent flame,
until when far overhead they are
caught upon the wings OF the noun
tain breeze and swept away; perfect
day is established and there is peace. y

ARE MICROBES In YOUR SCALP?
1t Has Been Proved that Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the lead
ing French dermatologist, discovered
that a microbe causes badness.
Their theory has time and again been
amply verified through research ex-
periments carried on under the obser-
walton of eminent scientists. This
micrObe lodges in the Seburn, which
is the natural hair oil, and when per
mitted to flourish it destroys the hair
follicles and in time the pores entirely
close, and the scalp gradually takes
on a shiny appearance. When this
happens there is no hope of the
growth of hair being revived
Dandrutf is n contagious disease,
which is largely due to destructive
microbe, which when left to pursue it's
course causes itching scalp. falling
hair and badness. Dandruff il caused
by the mieroble affecting the glands
which produce the sebaceous matter.
which latter then unnaturallv dries
W and scales off.
We have n remedy which will. we
honestly believe, remove dandruff.
cxterminate the microbe, promote
good circulation in the scalp and
around the hair roots, tighten and
rsvitalize the hair roots and over
come badness, so long as there is any
ie left in the hair roots.
We back up this statement with
our own personal guarantee that
this remedy called Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic will be supplied free of all cost
to the nser if it fails to do as We
state
1t will frequently restore gray and
faded hair to its original color, pro-
viding loss of color has been caused
by disease: vet it is in no sense a dive.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic accomplishes
these results by making every hair
root, folliele and pigment gland
strong and active. and by stimula-
ting natural flow of coloring pig
ment throughout the hair cells.
Rexall ''93" Hair Tonic is entirely
free from grease or sediment, is ex-
ceedingly p!e,: SAINT to use and will
not gum the hair or permanently
soil the clothing or pillows
We exact no obligations or prom
ises-we simply ask you to give it a
thorough trial and if not satisfied
tell US and we viii refund the money
you paid us for it. Two sizes, prices
so cents and $1.00. Remember You

Story Told in Church Considered
Worth 81 by New York Times.
Rockingham Post.

Rockingham Post.
Several months ago there was a
service held at the Baptist church
here for the purpose OF raising funds
to complete the church. Rev. Llv-
ingston Johnson preached and after
the preaching was over, MIR. ID. T..
Dockery was called on to make a
speech and raise the money. That
he succeeded admirably was shown
by the fact that more than 100000
was raised in a few minutes, when
only about 500 90 was needed.
10 the course of the speech he told
this little joke, by way of explaining
why he had been called on to raise
the money.
One day a little boy by accident
happened to swallow a dime and for
several minutes CONSERVATION reign
ed in the family. There was much
excitement and hurry calls were sent
for several physicians. Before any
of them could arrive a small daugh-
ter came to the front with this sug-
gestion:
"Mama, don't send for the doctor.
Send for Mr.. Brown"
"Why, what on earth doyou mean,
child" said the mother. ''What
could Mr.. Brown do? He's lawyer"
"Well," answered the child,"I heard
my papa say the other day that if
Mr.. Brown couldn't get money out
of a person no one else need try"
The joke was new to the audience
and took we'll. Mrs L. P. Russell
thought is worth giving to the world
and sent it to the New York Times.
She also subscribed one dollar to the
cause. Yesterday she received a
check from the Times for one dollar
in payment for the joke and with the
dollar she paid her subscription.
