xmportant ksst,sg in PvsbIo

On Monday night q Thousand work.
ingmen OF Pueblo met In rousing
mass meeting. The object was to dis
cuss the condition Of the wage Garner.
AT a similar meeting held last week a
committee was appointed to consider
the subject Of bringing In a report
with recommendations. The commit
tee reported that "u) the wages re-
ceived seemed reasonably good, but (2)
the necessary expenses OF maintaining
family are greater than the average
income. and therefore (3) some change
has to be made or the workingman
would SOON be In hole. Your com.
mittee therefore recommend that this
meeting appoint q committee Of five
OF our best and wisest business men
and that this committee be instruct
ed To enter into negotiations with
Kropf Bros. OF Ordway, with a view to
moving this firm to Pueblo"
A half dozen speeches were made IN
support of this recommendation. 1t
was unanimously agreed that II Kropf
Bros. should locate In Pueblo and sell
goods as reasonably as they do now the
financial troubles OF the wage Garner
would be at an end, and the commit
tee was therefore authorized to offer
Kropf Bros. Il bonus of $1,000 to re-
move to Pueblo.
1t may be this meeting occurred
only in dream, but it Is just what ia
likely to occur at any time. 1852

Winding a Watch

"You wouldn't think" said Il
matchmaker, that it would make any
difference whether watch is wound
up in the morning or at night: but II
does make considerable difference.
When Il watch is wound up at night,
coming out of a warm pocket, and
laid down or hung up in cool place,
the handspring will contract by the
cooling off of the metals. Being
wound up tightly, all chance Of con-
tracting has been shut off and the
spring is bound to break.
'If, however, the watch is wounl
up in the morning, having partly run
down through the night, there j.
room enough left in the barrel to
contract. Another reason why il
should be wound up in the morning
is that the spring will then have more
power, and thus will be in Il bette:
condition to resist the disturbing
movements of the bearer during the
daytime.
"Bcing generally in a horizontal
position during the night and running
with less lower, the horizontal posi-
tiOn in which the balance runs more
freely, will operate to make the
length of the swing Of the balance
wheel during the night as nearly as
possible the same as in the day time"

Worry Injuries beyond repair. certain

of directors of the Commercial Club

AS there is often some one in your

Diapepsin in the house mandy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat wirnout the

after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you
read the formula, plainly printed on
these 50-cent cases OF Pape Diapep-

Heartburn and other distress SO In
five minutes, and relieves at once
such miseries as Belchins Of Gas,
Fluctuations of sour. undigested food,
Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness, Constr

Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia or an out-of-orderl stomach with
the common, everyday curss adver-
tised that they have about made up
their minds that they have something
else wrong, or believe theirs is a case
of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh OF
the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is serious mistake.
Your real trouble is, what you eat
does not digest; instead. it ferments

pared the work with that which had
been done in Dubuque, Davenport and

acterized il as greater than had been
accomplished in those places in the

The committees went out this after
noon again, leaving the Elks rooms
about 1870 o'clock.
This morning some of the gentle
men who subscribed for stock yester-
day came around to the committees
and voluntarily increased their sub
scriptions.
1t will be necessary to carry the
canvassing through tomorrow and a
part of Saturday in order to close 1t
up. The early part of the week the
complete list will be published.
Quite a few corporations have sub
scribed s25 month for three years,
while men at the heads of them sub
scribed an amount equal to it. From
this the amounts ranged down to 81

for which stock can be secured.
