and it is the belief Of both miners
and operators in this region that
the coal strike will be called off
within 4S hours.
Chicago, Aug. 9.-Dr. F. c. Hon
mold, secretary of the Illinois Coal
Operators association, said today
that it would take two weeks to
clean out the shafts. Operators
here expect a settlement of the
strike within two weeks.

ers, and to discuss plans for sep
arate truce in Illinois if Frank
Harrington, president of the 1lli-
nois miners, is left free to nego-
tiate state agreement for ending
the miners strike in the state.
Rice Miller, president of the Illi-
nois Coal Operators association,
and DR.. F. C. Honnold, its secre-
tary, decline to discuss what took
place at yesterdays conference, but
with prospects for ending the coal
strike on a national basis appar-
emily side-trackedS at Cleveland, a
definite plan for settlement of the
strike in Illinois was expected to
come out of the conference OF
operators.
The fact that they resumed their
meeting here today while the min
ers' policy committee remained
ready for joint conference at
Cleveland indicated that the road
to peace laid through a channel
other than that proposed by Mr..
Lewis.
No Special Session.
, Governor Small, according to a
| committee representing the illinois
Manufacturers association, which
conferred with him yesterday, held
out little hope of a special session
OF the legislature to amend the min
ing laws which prevent all but Ii
censed miners from digging coal in
the state. The governor, the COM
i mittee said, believed it would be
difficult at this time to assemble q
quorum to enact new mining laws
which would admit non-union coal
diggers to the mines.

 ''YOu are q namesake of William Jennings Bryan, I take it," suggested the officer.
 "Yes, sir"
 'What is your home address?" was the next question.
 "MOOnshine Hill"
 Parsons found on further inquiry that there is a Moonshine Hill in Tex as and that Bryan Dry was one of its young inhabitants. Without more ques- tiOning, the applicant was signed up for a term of service in the navy Kansas City Star.

Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy con- dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrita- ble and may be Respondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer 6 Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., you may receive sam- pie size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.-Advertisemen
