DROUGHT IS THE
WORST IN 10 YEARS
Many Small Streams Dried Up
Owing to Lack Of Rain.

Philadelphia. Nov. 11.-With def
cheney of SIC sches in the rainfall
In the eastern 1T of the state, Penn
sylvania is now facing the most seri
GUS drought in nineteen years.
During the last three months many
small streams have practically dried
up, and the wind is now blowing dust
from the beds of these.
From January to July of this year
the rainfall was normal. The actual
drought began in the latter part OF
August. During that month trere was
a deficiency of 2.30 inches. Since
Aug. 81 there have been only three
rainfalls of consequence; one on that
date; another Sept. "a, when SIS
inches fell, and one Oct. 16, when the
precipitation was 1873 inches.
So far as known, the Susquehanna
river has never had so much bottom
exposed as at present. Directly oppo
site Port Deposit, Md, rocks unknown
and uncharted have made their. first
appearance. North of that town prac
tically the whole bottom of the river
Is bare.
The Elk river, at Elkton, Md, Is al
present only fifteen yards wide. Nor
mally it is at least ninety yards from
shore to shore, and several feet Feep
Trout streams in the vicinity Of
Stroudsburg, Pa, have dried up.

Kidney Medicine

Your representative called at my

ample of your noted Swamp-Root,
md I am certainly pleased to see
anybody connected with the firm
Who makes a medicine which has
lone so much for me and my family.
A few years ago 1 was suffering from
l. terrible pain in my back and when

walk with my body bent nearly dou-
Die. If you had placed thousand
dollars above my head I could not
5traighten up to get it.
Hearing of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root 1 sent to you for sample bot

small amount I was sure 1t would
help me so 1 bought one bottle and
It has cured me.
Shortly after that my husband
who was a coal miner, was suffering
from kidney trouble and could not
work and I sent for some of DR.. Kill

.errible condition, but as the doctors
had not given me any relief, had
more faith in Swamp-Root and it
was well founded, for it did the
work and after taking few bottles
he was completely cured.
I daily recommended the use of

Petrograd, Nov. 11.-Thousands OF
Turkish prisoners have been taken by
the Russian army of invasion In Ar.
menia during the last two days of
fighting, 1t Is officially announced from
field headquarters in Tifis.
The official statement follows:
"The Russian army of the Caucasus

The keen,sshsrs ls Bottled Up.

London, Nov. 1.-THE German cruz
ser Koenigsberg. which disabled the
British cruiser Pegasus some weeks
ago, has been bottled up at Malta isl.
ands, on the coast of German East
Africa, by the blockading of the chan
mel to the harbor.
The British cruiser Chatham dis
covered the hiding place of the Kce
nigsberg. Owing to greater draught
the Chatham could not reach the Koe.
nigsberg. which probably is aground
except at high water. Part OF the
crew of the Koenigsberg has been
landed and Is entrenched on the
banks of the river.
Both these entertainments and the
Koenigsberg herself have been bonn
barded by the Chatham. but owing to
the dense palm groves amid which the
ship lies. 1t Is not possible to esti
mate the damage done.
Pending operations for her capture
or destruction, effective steps have
been taken to block the Koenigsber!
by sinking Golfers in the only navi
gable channel to the river, and she is
now imprisoned and unable to do any
further harm.

Gompers, the president of the Feder
alton, who was in the chair. Mr.. Com
pers never batted an eye, but passec
the resolution to the secretary for &C

The United Brotherhood Of Carpen
ters wish the convention to exert its
weight to establish the six-hour day In
all trades, upon the ground that the
eight-hour day is enervating and ex
cessive.
Like about thirty-f1ve other resolu
lions offered by delegates. that Of the
carpenters was referred to the reso
lutions committee. There is a posi-
bility that it may be reported favor
ably later in the week, but it Is doubt
full If it will get the support Of the
convention at the present session Of
the Federation.
Ae%or oil tho rocoJuf{opS hod hoAr
handed up, President Gompers ad
journed the convention to give the
numerous committees an opportunity
to prepare reports upon the various
subjects covered in the resolutions
and in the annual report Of the execu
tive council.
Among the other resolutions pre-
sented, but not acted upon. was one
calling upon the state and municipal
tiles to revoke the licenses of detec
tive agencies which supply strike
breakers to mine operators and Other
employers of labor. This resolution
was turned in by H. P. Griffin, rep
resentative of the International Sea
mans union.
What was regarded as one Of the
most important resolutions offered
and one which is likely to get unani
nous support in general vote, call:
for the organization of an independ
ent labor party in all states and MUM
cipalities, to be financed and generally
supported at elections by the alliel
labor unions. This was the suggestion
of the Tube and Sheet Metal Workers
delegates from Martins Ferry, Ohio.
The National Brotherhood Of Car
penters accompanied the six-hour da,
resolution with another asking tina
