A Striko Ended That Cost Millions
Unsatisfactory T.-vi of the Nrw CrnNer.
St. Louts, July 21 Train men on
the Vnndnlia & St Louis train due
here last uiirbt. but which did not ar
rive until between 12 and 1 a.
m. report that at Long Point,
this side of Indianapolis, the
conductor discovered four rough
lookiug men on the rear plat
form of the baggage car. He ordered
them off, but as tho train started to
go they got on the rear platform of
the tender, where they were all again
found when the train reached Green
up Crossing, where they were forcibly
ejected from the train and moved
away, but as the train was passing a
clump of bushes near the Crossing
they opened lire from revolvers and
sent some twenty bullets whistling
through the baggage and express
cars and passenger coaches. Luckily
nobody was shot but there were sev
eral narrow escape. The tiain was
brought to a halt, and a posse of cit
izens organized at once and immedi
ate search wa3 begun. It is thought
the object was to rob the train.
AX ADVERSE T.EPORT.
Washington, July 22. In his re
port to secretary Whitney of the trial
of the guns of the cruiser Atlanta
Capt Bunco says not only were the
gun carriages disabled, as heretofore
reported, but also tho arrangement of
the battery is bad, as some of the
guns have to be abandoned by the
crews that other guns may be fired at
the target. Commenting on the re
sults of the battery trial, secretary
Whitney said: ''The reports are not
very favorable as to the first trial of
gunsbut as yet no matters of great
moment have turned up.
The J
trouble to my mind is this: If two
iuuuus ui uer nailery imeiuis reMl.l.
what would a dozen do? And it is
this that we are called upon to ascr- i.
tain. She is meant to b n fiHiti .
snip, and must bo further tested.
She
should have a cruise at sea sufficient
ly to subject her to a trial of all
weathers. Her battery should be
tested by actual firing until its work
ing characteristics are determined
and its defects are discovered. For
these purposes the board should be
appointed and the matter settled at
the earliest practicable day.'
A STUBBORN CONTEST.
Pittsburg, July 22. The coke
strike just ended was one of the most
stubbornly contested battles ever
fought between capital and labor.
For eleven weeks and four days the
fight went on. The amount of money
lost by such enforced idleness cannot
be calculated, but it reaches millions.
When the strike began fonr-fifths of
the 11,C3D men in the region had
money of their own, but few of them
now have money enough to take them
out of the district if they wanted to
go. The operators are also very
heavy losers; the pumps have been
kept running at all pits: the pit and
yard bosses, superintendents and
clerks have been drawing salaries
and mules getting fat on oats and
hay that they did not earn. At West
Leisenring, whero the Pinkerton men
have been stationed, the expense has
been over $1,000 a day since the
striko began. Besides this the ovens
have become badly out of repair;
fully one-third of them all over the
region have to be overhauled before
coal can again be put into them.
Then, too, tho coke trade has fallen
off, and it will take time and money
to build it up. Tho estimated actual
expense to operators has been from
$700,000 to $1,000,000, while their loss
entire will foot up over $2,000,000.
Salisbury's response.
London, July 22. Tho marquis of
Salisbury, replying to a deputation
which called on him to urge the gov
ernment to take some action to pro
tect British trade from the effect of
foreign competition assisted by
bounties, said it was impossible to
speak too strongly, of the injustice
which the foreign bonnty system in
flicted upon British workmen. The
European conference, ho said, would
soon consider the matter, nnd in the
meantime ho could only say that
there were two ways for Englishmen
to deal with their assailants in this
centest: if reasoning failed, English
men might return blows.
WANT TO SECEDE.
London, Ont, July 22
At the
annual session of the district assem
bly, K. of L., held last night, after a
lengthy discussion on tho subject of

passed urging the secession of tho

assembly and the formation of a gen
eral assembly for Canada, . the latter
body to have complete and unre
stricted powers to adjudicate on all
questions and business conected with
the order.
A BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

The Oregon Paving and Contraot

brownish gray color. A large force
is employed and the grounds sur
rounding the work present a busy ap
pearance. Give Them a Chance!
That is to say, your lungs. Also
your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous

When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their
work. And what they do, they can
not do well.

All ought to be got rid of. There is

Catarrh to Consumption.
Catarrh in its destructive forco stands noxt
to and undoubtedly lead3 on to consumption.
It is therefore singular that those afflicted
with this fearful disease should not make it
the object of their lires to rid themselves of
it. Deceptive remedies concocted by ignorant
pretondoH to medical knowledge hare
weakened the confidence of tho great
majority of sufferers in all advertised rem
edies. They become resigned to a life of
misery rather than torture themselres with
doubtful palliative.
But this will nerer do. Catarrh must be
met at every stage and combated with all
our might. In many cases the disease has
assumed dangerous symptoms. Tho bones
and cartilago of the nose, the organs of hear
ing, of seeing and of tasting so affected as to
be useless, tho uvula so elongated, tho throat
po inflamed and irritated as to produce a
constant and distressing cough.
SAxroitD'd Radical Cure moots every
phase of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to
the most loathsome and destructive stages.
It is local and constitntionaL Instant in re
