MINERS AND OPERATORS
SEE EARLY SETTLEMENT
End of Labor Troubles in Sight, Ac-
cording to President Lewis-con-
ference in East Adjourns.

Philadelphia, Apr 23-The confer
ence between National President Lew
is and the three anthracite district
presidents of the miners union and
representatives of the coal operators,
which began in the Reading Terminal
building here, ended yesterday with
better feeling all round. The pros
poets for an early settlement of the
labor troubles continues to grow
brighter and it is expected that next
week will see the end Of the contro-
versy.
AT the conclusion of the conference
yesterday Mr.. Lewis said: Nothing
is definitely settled, but we are more
hopeful of an early ending of the
differences between the men and the
operators than we have been at any
time since the negotiations began"
He further said that the miners had
a proposition from the operators which
will not be made public until it is laid
before the executive boards of three
anthracite districts at meeting to
be held in Scranton Monday. Mr..
Lewis said, however. that the propo-
sition the operators had made will
not affect the price of coal.
Those in conference with the min
ers' representatives were superin
tendents and general managers who
have practical knowledge of mining
These men are also members of the
operators policy committee.

Cleveland, o., Apr ga careful
survey last night of the result of
the thunderstorm shows that the early
reports underestimate the extent of
the damage wrought along it's path.
The revised list of dead places the
number of fatalities at seven. Of
these five are in Cleveland and one at
Ashtabula. In addition to the dead,
scores of persons were injured, sever
al of whom doubtless will die. The
property damage will aggregate over
$1,000,000.
The storm, which started about 100
miles southwest of Cleveland, gained
in force until this city was struck
where the greatest damage was done.
After leaving Cleveland the force
of the wind spent itself to a large
extent and no serious damage was
done east of Ashtabula.
While the weather bureau recorded
velocity of 6G miles an hour for
the wind the instruments were not in
the path of the miniature tornado. 1t
is estimated that the wind blew at a
rate of at least IS miles an hour in
the path of the storm.
School Buildings Damaged.
Porches were stripped off residences

BIG ICE FL0E is UNsHAXEN.
One Hundred Pounds of Dynamite
Falls to Jar lt-Chef Effect Is
Loud Roar.

Fort Niagara, N. ", Apr. 23.-The
great ice foe last night effectively
locked the mouth of the Niagara gorge,
in spite Of the vigorous assault upon
it yesterday by Assistant State Super
intendent of Public Works Kunze and
his force of men. The chief effect of
the explosion of 100 pounds of dyna-
mite was a roar, prolonged hiss, and
a liberal sprinkling of ice within the
grounds of Fort Niagara. The channel
was not even opened, and the slush
ice which shot 60 feet into the air fell
back into the hole from which it had
arisen.
The main mass of the ice from the
mouth of the river, ten miles north,
did not show a single crack, and was
apparently as solid as masonry. About
100 feet from the shore narrow chan
mel was swiftly running About so
feet north of the head of this channel
was an acre of green water streaked
with chunks of ice which have come
from Lake Erie much of the way by
hidden passages.

and small buildings carried away.
Debris was gathered into the arms of
the wind to be carried away and de-
posted elsewhere. In some instances
whole roofs were carried for dis
lance of 800 feet and then set down.
Skylights and windows were crashed
Many persons We're injured by flying
glass. The loss was especially great
to school property. Twelve school
buildings were damaged. Many pupils
had remarkable escapes, but none was
seriously hurt.
Firemen and policemen from all of
the stations in the city turned out to
assist the people whose homes had
been wrecked and who were injured
in the storm. So seriously was the
telephone service crippled that it was
impossible to get connections with
either the police or fire headquarters.
At Ashtabula one man was killed, a
dozen persons injured and heavy prop
erty damage resulted from the storm.
Tornado in Kentucky.
Lexington, Ky, Apr % Thousands
of dollars of damage was caused by a
tornado which passed over Mackville,
Boyle county. No one was killed, but
several residences were partially
wrecked, many barns demolished and
great amount of fencing blown
down. The roof of the brick bank
building was blown off, but the walls
were not damaged.
The storm came from the southwest
and seemed to strike hard just in the
! Mackville section, as no reports OF
damage have been received from any
other part of the state. Just after
the wind storm passed, the heaviest
hail storm ever known in that sec
ton came up and lasted about an
hour.

Beauty of Body.

A healthy body is beautiful body,
and beauty of body is to be perferred
to beauty of face. 1t is easy enough
for woman to have good complex
ion if her body is in good health. To
insure good health it is necessary to
keep the stomach active and the bow
els open. This can best be done by the
use Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the
great stomach, liver and bowel regu-
lator. 1t is absolutely guaranteed to
do what we claim, and if you want to
try it before buying, send your address
for free sample bottle to Pepsin Syr-
up Co., 119 Caldwell Bldg, Monticello,

SETTLE MINERS TROUBLE.
Old Contract for the Anthra-
cite Men.

New York, Apr. 24.-It was learned
from trustworthy sources that Presi-
dent Lewis of the United Mine Work
ers yesterday accepted a renewal of
the three-year agreement with the OPP
orators which expired on April 1 last.
The agreement was drawn up be-
tween Lewis and a committee Of the
operators al Philadelphia and will be
ratified at another meeting to be held
in few days between the full commit
tee of operators and the representa-
tives of the mine workers. The old
agreement is reaffirmed in every de-
tail, but few minor concessions are
made to the miners. Under the new
agreement, as before, the union will
not be recognized, and the same
scale of wages and the same hours OF
work will be continued.

Clad in a khaki suit and armed with

the Bartlett ranch house shortly after
ten o'clock to spend the day fishing.
When the telephone rang he started
slightly and walked precipitately out
of the room. He seemed as uncon-

on the ranch The nearest he came to
discussing the wheat situation was
when he directed that a liberal supply
be packed in his lunch basket.

Most cough cures and cold cures are
constipating, especially those that con-
tain opiates. Kennedy's Laxative
Cough Syrup is free from all opiates
and it cures the cold by gently moving
the bowels and at the same time it
soothes irritation of the throat and lungs
and in that way stops the cough. 1t is
especially recommended for children,
as it tastes nearly as good as maple
sugar. We sell and recommend it. =
