The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that scier,e has
been able to cure in all it's stages. and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutIonal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
upon the blood and mocous surfaces OF
the system. thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength bv building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing Its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer 500. 90 for any case

There were no leaders in the

Mobs Led by Women and Children,
"The crowds were usually led by
women and children. They were al

women had children in their arms.
Other women carried flags. On the
first morning Ettor, the strike leader,
was about the mills giving orders. but
when the demonstrations took place he
always disappeared"
Describing the wounding Of Officer
Benoit and a woman, Captain Sullivan
said:

Police Did Not Shoot.
We think he was, and the woman
killed was also a striker. I think that
shooting started as pure devilment to
raise trouble and that there was no
intention to kill anybody. The police
did not shoot
Captain Sullivan also told Of an
other officer who was stabbed during
the same outbreak. Another method
Of the strikers to arouse trouble, he
said. was the concerted plan of the
strikers in tiocking through the stores,
passing in and out without buying
anything.
'They had our storekeepers in a
state OF terror, and for some time
business was practically at a stand
stlll though the stores were not

GOVERNORS COUNCIL
VISITS RlCHESoN.
Find Him in Normal State of Mind,
But Thin and Pale.

Boston. March 6.-Several members
Of the executive council visited Clar-
ence " T. Richeson. condemned mur-
derer of Avis Linnell, in his cell at the
Suffolk county jail today. The visit
was made in the course of an inspec-
tion Of tho Jail by the governor and
council Governor Foss, however, did
not see Richeson, as the governor was
closeted with Sheriff Quinn when the
rest Of the party went to the former
clergynan's cell.
Rlcheson, when asked as to his treat.
ment said that he had no complaint
to make. Members of the council re-
marked later that the prisoner said
little and that he appeared in a nor
nal state of mind and health, although
thin and rather pale, Only the gov
ernor and council can save Richeson
from the electric chair eleven weeks
hence.
His counsel, William A. Morse, who
has seen the prisoner once d week, has
not vet petitioned the governor for
communication Of the sentence to life
Imprisonment ana said today that lla
had not decided when he WOuld file
such q petition. Ii the governor re
ceives such an appeal he c&n either re
ject 1t or submit it to the pardon com
mittee Of the council. In the latter
case the pardon committee of the
council will hold hearings and make
recommendation to the council, which
will then vote whether 1t shall recon-
mend TO the governor that the sem
tence be commuted.
