CitiiAoo, Mar. 30. The district coun
cil, brotherhood of Carpt nters & Joint
ers, had a special meeting last night, and
made arrangements for a strike, which
it is said will be inaugurated next Mon
day unless the referendum vote, which
has been taken at a special meeting of
local lodges this week, should be in favor
of accepting the proposition of the Car
(eaters' and Builders' Association.
There is a feeling oi antagonism among
the men against that part of the propo
sition which restricts the employment
of of union men to members of the con
tractors' organisation.
Such agreement is said to be contrary
totbejlaws of the national brotherhood
and obnoxioue to the Chicago men.
It was decided to hold another special
meeting next Saturday night to canvaBS
the vote of the unions.
Unless the proposition of the contrac
ts is accepted, nothing else, it Is
bought, can be done to prevent a strike
Monday morning. While they are voting
on the proposition, the unions will de
tide whether they are desirous of mak
ing the strike general tit the outset or
' fighting eacli contractor at a different
time.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When, this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; ninecns;s out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condil ion of tho mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused hy catarrh;
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh

rent on the stock encbange today to the
effect that President Kruger, of the
South African Kepublir, has been shot

I familiarly known as "Oom Paul," pres
I ident of the South African republic was
uorn in me LOieauerg uieinci oi me
Cape Colony, a Brititb subject, October
L'5, 1825.
He was of Boer parentage, and at the
age of 10 years accompanied his parents
! and 0000 other Boers in the great trek
j acrooaa the Vaal river, inaugurated by
the Boers rather than emancipate their
I slaves.
j In 1843, at the age of 20, Kruger had
become a field cornet, and the next year
saw him a full fledged filibuster, besieg
ing Durban for twenty-six days of the
Boers futile attempt to obtain a Seagate
for their country.
Kruger was concerned in the Sand
River convention and in the raid on
Livingstone's missions at Scuelle, and
bore no inconsiderable part in the Pot-
chefstroom rebellion in 1857.
In 1883 lie was elected president of
the South African republic, and re-elect
ed in 188S oni 1893.
Paul Kruger was a picturesque anom
aly of the 10th century.
