Headache and Liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old, and have used many pills and other remedies for the blood, liver and kid neys, I must say that for a kidney tonic in Brights disease; and as an alterative for the blood, or to correct the action of the stomach and bowels, it is a very su perior remedy, and leats anything I ever tried.

Wolud Like, to Have The "Assembly Agree on His Successor. TALK OF CQAXGrSG THE OKUEK. History of The K. of L. From Its Start In 1809 It Beginning, Prosperity, Wanning. Special to The Chbokicuc. St. Louis, Nov. 15. When the Knights of Labor convene in' annual session to-day, they will begin perhaps the most eventful gathering since the inauguration of the order. The general assembly will this year at least have the satisfaction of listening to a report which shows a decided increase in membership, and as this has not been the case since the Richmond convention, the- fact be comes one of decided interest. At the present meeting the most important topic of discussion will be that relating to politics. Efforts will be made to se cure radical changes in the present laws governing the organization. The most forceful blow of which will be aimed at the cardinal principle contained in the preamble "No one shall,, however, be compelled to vote with the majority." It is not intended to coerce the working man to vote for a particular nominee, but to use moral persuasion in the in terest of the candidates who are friendly to organized labor. Ultimately it is hoped to place on a firm footing a labor political party that will have no relation to either of the old parties. It is to be essentially a workingman's party, whose course shall be dictated by the masses and not by political wirepullers.or labor leader dictation. There is talk too of the retirement of Grand Master Powderly, who after ten terms of service, would gladly retire if the aseembly could unite on his successor. He himself is said to look favorably on A. W.' Wight, editor of the Journal of United Labor. John W. Hays, secretary-treasurer, will be re-elected to suc ceed himself. The order of the K. of L. was started in Philadelphia in December 1869,4mt not until 1878 was a national constitution adopted. At the first meet ing in Scranton Uriah S. Stephens was elected grand master. In 1379 the con vention was held in St. Louis ; and here it was that Grand Master Powderly was first chosen as the leader of the move ment. From 188 oto 1887 the order grew to a membership of almost a million ; and then began a rapid decline, finally having less than two hundred thousand members on its "books. - Last year at Denver, political action was endorsed, and the union of the interests of the Knights' with- those of the people's party tended to. iricreaee-: the membership. Chicago Bone Market. Chicago,' .Nov. 15. J.. S. Cooper, com mission salesman of horses, Union Stock Yards, Chicago says : The market has shown a slight change for the better within a few days both in demand and price and it would be very reasonable to predict an immediate improvement fol lowing the close of the electoral contest. Business will once more assume its nat ural aspect, and orders which for some weeks have been withheld, will now come through the regular channel. The lumbering interest will, as usual at this season, come to the front, and as they have been sparing buyers of late there should be quite a demand for heavy log gers. Good blocks generally will also be in demand. The sales of range horses have been small and prices very low. It is too late to handle these except at sac rifice prices, averaging $15 a head for smooth 900 lbs. The Great Lockout. London, Nov. 14. The second week of the great cotton lockont opens with increased prospects of the trouble being long continued. There are 6,000,000 spindles working full time, 750,000,000 on half time and 12,600,000 stopped. The Masters' Federation has asked the owners of the spindles working full time to begin to shorten time Thursday. All have assented except masters at Bolton, who spin Egyptian cotton mostly. They plead their hands are full of orders and their mills must work full time to meet them;''' -' "' Conditions Will Change. Discussing the cattle market, the Live Stock Journal savs the liim onntinnprl depression in the cattle business has played havoc with many people and es pecially with cattle companies, but the belief is now very general among men wno nave watched the current of events, that a turn is about to come in the loner down hill road. Whether this will prove true or not remains, of course, with the future to demonstrate. It is true, " how eve.r, that there is no lane solong but it has a turn, and the -tide on the eeaahore never runs so far out that it fails to re turn. As the tide on its return flows as high on the banks as before the ebb. so there will be a return to prosperity in the cattle rising business, and prices will be as high as before the great de pression. How soon this reiurn will set in is, of course, a matter of speculation, but the signs point to 1893 as the year of jubilee. There are two leading cauees or reasons for this belief. First, the long continued depression in beef values has tnrned the farmers of the old west from beef pro duction to other pursuits to a large ex tent, and production is not keeninc with the increase of population. The second factor is the large falling off in production of ranee beef from the rnilf to the northern range limit. These two iactors are sufficient to bring about a decided reaction so soon as they are clearly understood in the market cen ters, and it is believed that another year will demonstrate the true situation. Then be of good cheer and hold on faithfully to your cattle possessions. The Lumber Combine. The combinations of thai saw mills of the Pacific northwest, to be known as the Pine manufacturers' association , has been completed. Of the mills admitted into the combine, twelve were formerly members of the Pacific pine lumber company, and these are allowed a cut of 431,000,000 feet, while the remaining seventeen will be allowed to cnt' but 279,000,000 feet annually. The mem bership, as at present given out, will include thirty of the principal mills of the coast. The price of rough lumber shall be $10 and of dressed lumber $16. 50, f. o. b., at point of shipment. Each mill to make its own sale and handle its own cut. Any mill exceeding the cut allotted to it will pay the association for each thousand of rough lumber $1, and for dressed $2, and for lath 50 cents. Each mill must turn into main office difference between cost and selling price. An Educational Qualification. Oregonian. In the recent scramble to securevotes for the opposing candidates, there was nothing more disgraceful, out side of the slums of New York and Chi cago, where ignorance was worked up to its full limit, than the leading feature of the territorial campaign in Oklahoma, where a strong fight was made by all parties to .secure the Indian vote. The Indians who recently became citizens are chiefly of the Arapahoe and Chey enne tribes,- and number about 800 voters. Of this number not more than twenty-five can read and write. The head of the republican ticket was em bellished by a full-size picture of an In dian, while the democratic ticket was adorned Bimply by the head of a brave. After great effort the former captured a majority of the Arapahoes, and the lat ter a majority of the Cheyennes. While the red-skin vote may not be a. more pernicious element in our politics than many others that are recognized as legal and necessary, the struggle to secure it, together with the dense ignorance of the new voters, suggests, with startling dis tinctness, the advisability, that will one day become a necessity, of establishing an educational qualification for voters by constitutional amendment. Locomotive Explosion. Reading, Pa., Nov. 15. An eneine drawing a light train on the Philadel phia and Reading blew up near Schuylkill Haven yesterday morning, killing five men, tearing up tracks, dismantling the locomotive, -hurling machinery several squares, and scattering destruction all around. The explosion came without any warning whatever. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. fSSlMESS JF3JZ3E TOSSED BY A TYPHOON Tie City of PeloiiE in Company, Willi tie Br. Str.

LOCOMOTIVE SL'DDRN KTl'Klsmv Second Week of the English Cotton Spinners' Strike - Millions of Splndlers Are Idle. On her last voyage to the Orient the steamer City of Peking, which arrived in San Francisco yesterday, was in the typhoon that wrecked the British steamer Bokhara. The Peking rode out the gale, but that she did not meet with disaster was principally due to the ex cellent seamanship and good judgment of her commander, Capt. Robt. R. Searle. "We were in company with the Bokhara," said one of the officers of the Peking, "on the day she was lost. At 1 o'clock on that fatal afternoon Capt. Searle ordered the Peking hove to and everything made taut above and below decks. The Bokhara kept right on, leaving us behind, but reports show that she also hove to an hour later. Had her captain taken the same precau tion as our 8, his . vessel would not have been driven ashore and wrecked "with fearful loss of life. The Peking rode out the storm beautifully, the immense seas only occasionally reaching her deck. One of the Empresses of the Canadian Pacific line was in sight during . the typhoon. ' She also was hove to, but the waves washed her' decks fore and aft. 'There was no rain, but the typhoon blew with terrific-force. " The storm lasted for two days, and during all that time Capt. Searle hardly left the bridge to take his meals. When we arrived at Hong Kong a British man-of-war was about to go in search of us, for the re port had got out that the Peking had gone down with the Bokhara. The re joicing on our safe arrival consequently was great." - The Lady Denies the Story. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 14. The report of Senator Hill's engagement to Mrs. Fanny Iverson, of Atlanta, is unequivo-.. cally denied. She met Senator Hill years ago on his visit to Atlanta at one of the receptions tendered him here. The report of their engagement was cir culated a short while after Gov. Hill's visit to Atlanta at that time and has been revived at intervals. Mrs. Iverson has not met Senator Hill since then, and those who know her best say there is not a word of truth in the report. She is one of the most beautiful women in the south and has been widowed about six years. Her friends laugh at the re port that she is engaged to anybody. - Usefulness of Waterways. Buffalo, Nov. 15. The importance and usefulness of the lakes and Erie canal as freight regulators, were never more forcibly shown than at present. While the rail rates on grain from Chicago to New York are 5c per 100 pounds, equal to about 15 cents a bushel on wheat, the water route rate, including Buffalo charges, is 9 cents per bushel. Possibly these low rates are made by " the boatmen in view of the approaching close of the season, and the fact that grain by the Erie canal can be held all winter in the boats at a reasonable charge. In anv event, it shows the value of the canals as a freight regulator in competition with the railroads. There is an effort being made to keep the Erie canal open until December 10th. Grain shippers can now save 5c a bushel by canal and secure cheap storage as well. no wxte
