CONSTIPATION CURED BY MiLKS’ EMULSION When you are costive or bilious or constipated don’t take an oldtime dose of physic that throws your bowels into spasms and causes the liver to act improperly. Milks' Emulsion acts gently on the Bowels, Liver and Kidneys. MILKS' IMULSION >. TTWrr TTnriBB - WE GUARANTEE AN ABSOLUTE CURE. Purchase price refunded by your druggist if first bottle does not give relief. The Milks’ Emulsion Company, Gentlemen— Terre Haute. Ind. I must beg forgiveness for my tardiness in answering yours of the 2nd inst. It was my intention to write you when I finished the package of Milks’ Emulsion that you sent me. This has been about a month ago. The results of this trial lam pleased to now give you. As soon as I received the Emulsion I started to use it asdirecicd in your letter of the 7th. Ac first I noticed no benefit whatever, bu 11 i>ersisted and in the course of two or three days 1 began to note effect. Since then until now (and there has been about a month since 1 look any) my bowels have moved daily and the indications are that the benefit I have derived Is to be permanent. You certainly have my earnest thanks and any time I can recommend your medicine to any one I shall not fail to do so It seems almost incorrect to call your Emulsion a medicine, for the effect was so mild and uni ike that caused by any medicine made for this complaint. 1 believe 1 might very well discontinue any further use of your Emulsion, but upon your advice I will continue to take it; if you think this is best, you may send another package for the enclosed 50 cents in stumps. I can hardly express my gratitude when I remember that I found it absolutely necessary to take cathartics of one kind or another to make my bowels move daily, and should I not take any medicine it often happened that three and four days would pass between the stools My constipation had gotten so serious that none of the ordinary cathartics would effect me at all and I had used everything that I could hear of lam so delighted with the results of your Emulsion that if I can be ot any benefit or service to you I shall be pleased to know it. Thanking you very much for your kindness, I am. respectfully yours, Edward G. Webbkr. IUI2 W. 27th St.. March 15th. 1903. Indianapolis.

SiF.IKE SETTLED Chicago City Railway Tie-Up Has Bsen Adjusted At Last. Bisin on Which ths Settlement Was Reached Is a Complete Victory for the Company. The Agreement Ratified This Morning and Traffic Was Resumed. Chicago, Nov. 25.—The strike of the employes of the Chicago City Street Railway company was settled at an early hour this morning at a confeonce between the mayor and the al dermanic peace committee. President Hamilton and E. R. Bliss, counsel for the company, and the executive bor.rd of the local union of the strikers. The basis on which the settlement was reached is a complete victory for the company as far as the original demands of the men are concerned. The agreement reached was ratified at a meeting of the men at 9 o’clock this morning, and traffic on all the lines of the company was res :med today. The only important concession made by the company was an agreement to reinstate all the strikers, including the outside unions who went out in sympathy with the trainmen, with the exception of those who resorted to violence during the trouble. The arbitration of the v age scaie is to be ac cording to the wages paid outside of Chicago and not on the basis of the local street railways. These are the two points that have been stumbling blocks to a peaceable adjustment of the strike for the past week. The company has insisted that it pays higher wages than any sinjllar corporation in the country. The men were fearful that the arbitration on the scale paid in other cities would decrease their wages, and they fought stubbornly for their point. Caused Much Troubls. Chicago. Nov. 25. —Cut wires, plugged cable slots and manholes filled with debris caused the City Railway company all manner of trouble yesterday in operating its State street car line. There was comparatively no violence offered to the men handling the cars, which were as usual guarded by the police, but as soon as the cars had passed the crowd would swarm upon the tracks, drive spikes in the cable slot and fill the manholes with stones. The cars when running between 39th and 61st streets were compelled to take from fifteen to twenty minutes to run a square. On the last trip a crowd of 1,000 men followed the cars when they started back from the down town district. Jeers and hoots filled the air, but no missiles were thrown and no arrests were made DEADLY MINE EXPLOSION Thirteen Lives Lost When Gas Ignited From Miner’s Lamp. Fort Smith, Ark., Nov. 25. —Thirteen Miners were killed and great damage was done by an accidental explosion of gas yesterday afternoon in coal mine No. 20 at Bonanaza. Ark., twelve miles form this city. There were about 175 men in the various shafts at the time. All escaped without injury except the thirteen men who were employed in entry "K," the scene of the explosion. The force of the explosion was terrific and timbers wer° torn from the walls of the passages for several hundred yards at the mouth of entry K. The passages were so completely obstructed that the work of rescuing the entombed men was tedious In the extreme and several hours were consumed before the first body was found. It is thought that the gas was accidentally ignited by a miner’s lamp The miners who escaped with the aid of others sum moned from near-by shafts immediately set about clearing the passages In the hope that some of the thirteen entombed men might have survived the explosion.
