PAGE EIGHT. CARPENTERS' STRIKE OVER Contractors Will Give Employ mcnt to Union Men Who Are Worth the Scale. NO CONCERTED ACTION YET Several Men Have Been Notified to Show Up for Work Today at Eight-Hour Basis aud Old Scale. The carpenters' strike Is virtually at an end, it indications can be relied upon. Yesterday the union sent in its reply to the contractors, and this morning several gangs of men will resume work. These men will work eight hours dally and receive the union scale. So far as could be learned, the con tractors took no, concerted action with reference to the reply of the union, which had rejected the em ployers' overtures. Several union men who were seen last evening how ever, said they had been notified to show up for work this morning, and It Is supposed from this that the strike is practically oft. It will prob ably be a full week before all of the men are back at work again, and the contrctors will doubtless give employ ment only to those union men whom they regard as proficient workmen. The text of the letter sent to the con tractors is as follows: "Astoria, April . To the Contractors of Astoria -Gentlemen: After careful ly consider! ig your proposal we have come to the following conclusion: "That, if we accept your proposal it will give our memebrs a chance to undermine each other, and we have no means of stopping it; and, while you admit that some men are worth more than $3 a day, we have set our minimum wage at $3 a day. "We hope you can see that the union would have no control over its mem bers without a minimum wage, and all members who are not worth the mini mum wage you can refuse work. THE MORNING ASTORIA FRIDAY. APRIL 8, 1904- "Hoping this will meet with your ap proval, I am, very truly, THOS. D. SOUDON, Secretary." The reply was made known to all of the contractors, but no meeting was held during the day. During the aft ernoon some of the men were notified to show up for work this morning, with the undert landing , that they would be required to work only eight hours, at the old scale. The con tractors evidently have adopted the suggestion of the union to employ only the best workmen the real point upon which the contention rested. The statement appearing in last night's Budget that the contractors had decided to hold out and secure their men wherever they could caused some consternation among those union men who had been asked to show us for work this morning. . It would seem the strike is really settled, al though nothing of an authoritative nature has come from the contractors. How to Maks Clothing Look Wtll All the Tims. Tou probably notice that some men look as though they wore new clothes all the time; do you know the secret? They get their clothes pressed often; but you say you cant afford It Well, let me show you that you ean afford It If you will buy your suit, overcoat or trousers from Herman Wise, he will press and keep them in repair for you Free of Charge all the time. He now has a tailor in his store, just like all first-class stores in the eastern cities; so that he can make all necessary alter ation and keep the clothes he sells pressed and looking nice for a long time. Oh, it pays to trade with Wise. RATE WAR IS BEING WAGED Elmore Cuts Freight and Pas sender Tariffs on His Till . mook Steamers. MEANS TO GET THE BUSINESS Vosburg' People Started the Slashing aud Will lie Given a Merry Ituu for Their Money. The Idun society held another enter tainment last evening for the purpose of increasing the fund with which a new hall is to be built There was a large attendance of Norwegian resi dents of the city and an excellent liter ary and musical program was rendered. During the evening games were played and refreshments served. A small ad mission fee was charged and the re ceipts of the entertainment added ma terially to the hall fund. Baseball Scores.

The people operating the tugboat Vosburg In an effort to get the business built up by Elmore for his steamers, recently cut rates, and Elmore has returned the compliment with a slash that will render business decidedly unprofitable. "When It comes to rate-cutting, I will show the other fellows I can do some slashing myself." said Elmore yester day. "If the cut announced today isn't low enough to gain the end sought to be attained, I'll make another cut." The Vosburg is operated by the Ne- halem Transportation Company. She Is a tugboat, but when there is nothing doing in that line she engages in the carrying trade between Astoria and Portland and Tillamook. Before the Vosburg people tampered with rates, the freight tariffs were 14 and $3 a ton from Portland, the lower rate be ing made for merchants who shipped In large quantities of freight and the higher rate applying to small ship ments. The Vosburg people reduced the freight rates to $3 a ton all around. The passenger rate from Astoria to Tillamook used to be $3.50, but the Vos burg people cut it to $3. Yesterday the Elmore line Itself went Into the rate-slashing business, and an nounced rates that will put a financial kink in the Tillamook business. The new rate is $2.50 on alt freight from Portland to Tillamook and $3.50 pas senger fare from Astoria. "These rates will render the Tilla mook business very unprofitable," said Elmore yesterday, discussing the mat ter, "but I mean to continue the slash Ing. To be frank, It Is my intention to set the Tillamook traftlo for my steam ers, no. matter how low the rates 1 may be compelled to make. The nw tariffs will require both companies to operate at loss, but that la not now a consideration with me. I'm after the business, and mean to have It.' The new tariffs of the Elmore litis iw.in. ffmtiv vosterdny and will in,ii.tinltilv. so far as the owner of the steamers could state yes terday. ROBBED TUB GRAVE. A startling- incident Is related by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol lows: "I was In awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pam continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had riven me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great Joy, the first bottle made a decided Im provement. I contitxuerd their use ror three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of an- other victim." No one should fall to trythem. Only 50 cents, guaranteed, at Charles Rogers', druggist. CRUSHED BENEATH TRAIN. Olympla, April 7. Mrs. C. W. Phllby. wife of a workman In the mill at Bur deaux, was run over and killed by the locomotive of a logging train today. Mrs. Phllby had been talking to sev- eral neighbors near the track and started to cross the rails as the engine came around a curve. She became confused and stumbled, and before she coull recover, was run down and Inxtantly killed. "WHAfS WILL OUT If TH H THE BONE IE FLESMg in Is true of mankind as well as lower animals. We do not ex pect blooded stock from common sires, physical giants from dwarfs and midgets, nor well-developed, robust children from tainted ancestors and sickly parents. It is contrary to the laws of nature and heredity, which are inviolable, unchange able and fixed. Children not only inherit the features, form and dispo sition of their parents, but the mental and physical qualities, infirmities and diseases as well. That certain diseases are transmitted from parents to children, are bred in the bone and handed down from one generation to another, can not De denied, tor we see evidences of it every where and every day. SCROFULA, a disease almost as fatal as Consumption, is a disease of the blood, is bred in the bone and will out in the flesh in the form of glandular swellings, deep abscesses and sores, boils and eruptions. It affects the eyes and ears, weakens the digestion and destroys the red corpuscles and solids of the blood, resulting in tmaciation, stunted growth and poorly nourished bodies. RHEUMATISM is handed down from gouty ancestors and rheumatic parents. The acid poisons in the blood that cause the sharp, shooting pains in muscles aud joints have been there may be from oirth, and exposure to bad weather, night air, or cold, easterly winds only hastens the attack by exciting the acid blood. The blood must be purified and the poisons filtered out of the system in order to get relief from this painful disease. CATARRH is something more than a cold in the head; the poison extends into the Throat and Lungs, attacks the Stomach, Kidneys and Bladder, ana every part of the sys tem. We inherit a predisposition or tendency to Catarrh, just like other blood diseases; it is bred in the bone and can not be reached with sprays and salves, but requires constitutional treatment and a thorough cleansing of the disease-tainted blood. CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON is responsible for more suffering than all other diseases combined, and none is so surely transmitted from parent to child. Fearful ulcers and sores and disgusting skin eruptions often break out in infancy, and those whose blood is tainted with this awful poison are handicapped from birth, and unless the poison is eradi cated carry the taint through life. CANCEROUS ULCERS and old sores seem to pursue some families through gen erations, and in spite of washes, salves and ointments, continue to spread and grow be cause the taint is in the blood; is bred in the bone and grounded in the flesh. Nothing but a real blood remedy like S. S. S. can reach these deeply rooted, inborn diseases. It goes to the fountain source of the trouble, uproots the old taint, drives out the poisons that have been lurking in the blood for years, and tones up the weakly constitution. S. S. S. reaches diseases of this character that no other medicine does or can. It has been tested in thousands of cases during the nearly fifty years of its existence, and its reputa- a? l 1 1 1 a 11 4 lion as a cure ior enronic Diooa trouDies is nrmiy establisned. S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable and suited to old and young and persons of delicate constitution. If you have inherited a predisposition or tendency to some family taint, the sooner you begin a course of S. S.S.the quicker and more certain the cure. The disease may develop in childhood or later on in life, but is sure to make its ar pearance sometime, " for what is bred in the bone will out in the flesh," as sure as you live. Our physicians make diseases of the blood and skin a special study. Write us all fcbout your case, and medical advice or any special information desired will cost you nothing.
