SHORT-LIVED STRIKE.

WORLD'S FAIR LABOR LEADERS ARE SATISFIED. Kxpositlon OHl. lain (.rsiit a Minimum Bate of Wages anil Push Walking Drlogate-. Make No Distinction Met ween I'nlon and Non-Vnlou. Work tioe Merrily On, Twelve hours saw tho beginning aud the peaceful endlntf of a striko at the World's Fair that involved all union workmen within iho gates, to the number of four thousand or more, and imperiled the successful openiug of the Exposition. Tho settlement satisfied the laborers and (he Exposition authorities and was effected in a conference that lasted nearly till day, with short intervals for consultation on both sides. By its terms the union men guin a minimum rate of wages, are allowed passes for their delegates, with the privilege of entering Ihe grounds and talking with their tradesmen at any time. Tho Exposition gains lis contention that no discrimination should be made as between union and nonunion labor. In obedience to the order of the Building Trades Council, 4,001) union mechanics employed at the World's Fair grounds quit work or rather failed to go to work at 8 o'clock Monday morning. The trades represented were tho carpenters, painters, ornamental ironworkers, hodcarriers, tin and sheet Iron-workers, cornice-workers, stoamfltters. gasfitlers, electrical workers, tile workers, mosaic-workers, lathers, gas and eleetrlcal fixture-hangers, cement-finishers, lresco-painters, hoisting engineers, marble-cutters, giaveirooera and other smaller trades. At 10 o'clock 1,500 electrical workers joined the strikers. The bricklayers, stonecutters, and plasterers were not involved. For some time thero was no violence and tho men confined themselves to growling and to making stump speeches at which they wero lislunod to by small crowds of workmen. At H o'clock half a dozen delegates entered the grounds and started to make a tour of tho buildings. During the trip their numbers wero increased until there was a long procession of the men. Tbe lead ers, tearing that the men might get into mischief, orderod them to disperse. This orJer was shown to be a wise one, as a lew minutes later several of tho strikers met some men who had recently b:en forced to join the union. These men were at work and Iho strikers ordered them to quit. They refused And a small light was started. Bomo Columbian t.'uards came to the rescue and drove the strikers away. When this was reported to Mr. Burnham ho gave prompt orders that alt delegates found interfering with tho workmen or trying to induce them to nuit work should be put off tho grounds. This order was promptly put In force, and the patrol wagon was kept busy. It also prevented any trouble in the grounds. The men claimed that the council of administration of the World's Fair had broken faith with 1 lie allied trades upon the arbitration question. GIGANTIC FRAUDS UN EARTHED The Minnesota B.nute Springs Another 8ensation on the Country. The Senate committee-, at St. Paul, investigating the charges of fraud in the sule and taxation of Minnesota lands, has presented its report. It is the most sensational report ever mode by a legislative committee aud all based on sworn testimony. Frauds aud conspiracies most gigantic and farreaching are said to have been unearthed. It Is claimed that the S' ate has been defrauded, directly and indirectly, out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and many persons hitheito above suspicion are said to b. involved and besmirched by the committee's findings. Ono instance is a ease whoro the timber on a piece of school land, estimated by the best judges to have been worth $7,525, was sold for a paltry $175. Some of the best pine land of the State is said to have been falsely certified as swamp laid and then patented to the railroad, ni.d by thoni to the parties back of tae deal. Innumerable cases of faiso homestead entries, soldiers' ure-einp. tions and Ind'an allotments, all made ou powers of attorney by men of straw in the interests of the corporations, are said to have been disclosed. Vast tracts of land and vast quantities of standing and cut pine aro said to have escaped tho tax rolls, and one interesting point is that there are miles of railroad in the woods used for other purposes than for transporting logs alone, which ere not mentioned by the assessor, and which are not reached as porsonai property, nor do thoy pay any gross earnings tax. The law which lb designed to pi event corporations from acquiring more than 5,000 acres of land is said to be a dead letter in the pine regions. The report says it is hardly possible to calculate the sums the State and State institutions liuve lost in the alleged pine-land manipulations, nor is it possible that any considerable per tion of it can be recovered. GETTING READY FOR WAR. Likely lo lie Woodshed at MorgHiilleld, Kentucky. The excitement over the Oliver tragedy at Morgnnfleld and Sturgis, in I n on County, Kentucky, has not abated, and the entire country Is still worked up over tho affair. It was given out as c fact that friends ot the Olivers and other Sturgis citizens have organized a l.ody to lynch the prisoners if justice is not administered properly at the examing trial. It is also stated that friends of the prisoners have organized and w.ll resist any such attoit pt. Taylor Oliver, the wounded father, is still hovering between life and death. It is believed that his death will tend to further excite tho mob, and violence will then be feared more than ever. The ninth man wanted by the authorities is Frank Carter, and it is reported that Detective Henry Spencer has captured him. However, he has not arrived in Morganfleld. The guard at the Morganfleld jail has been doubled. IS READY TO ADJOURN. 6nat Takos Steps to llrluu die MrNiui to an Ell d. Members of the Senate bellevo that President Cleveland has made all the appointments he desires coniirmed at the present session, and tho Senate Monday took steps toward adjournment. The Senate ngrecd to a resolution offered by Mr. Harris, of Tennessee, for the appointment of a committeo to wnit upon the President and inform him thai unless be has some further communication to make, the Senate Is ready to ad journ without delay.

StomachLiver Cure The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. ( - ' It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectars It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the Great South American Medicine Company, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by the native inhabitants of South America, who rely almost wholly upon its great medicinal po v ?i-3 to euro every form of disease by which they are overtaken. This new and valuable South American medicine possesses powers and qualities hitherto unknown to tbe medical profession. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, and diseases of the general Nervous System. It also cures all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the Great Nervine Tonic qualities which it possesses and by its great curative powers upon the lircstive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder ana etrengthener of the life forces of the human body and as a great renewer of a broken down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment aud cure of diseases of tho Lungs than any ten consumption remedies ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic almost constantly for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year.

All theiic and many other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Tonic NERVOUS DISEASES. Aa a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its etfects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine-tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir, are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility -of the brain, spinal marrow and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied, and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must Buptly all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of tho kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imPsea upon the nerve3. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This recent production of tho South American Continent has been found, by analysis, to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its magic power to cure all forms of nervous

derangements. CaawroBosvmJt, Ikd., Aug. 20, '80.
