BUTCHERS' ACTIVE; WHAT'S THE REASON

This Is a Question That Is Uppermost in Mind Just At This Time. HELD A MEETING SUNDAY. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THE DEALERS ARE ABOUT READY TO

MAKE TERMS OF PEACE. Was the butchers' meeting at the lo cal slaughtering establishments Sun day afternoon a meeting to discuss the feasibility of the continuance of the war which has been raging, or a meeting leading up to a declaration of peace? is the question being discussed at the present time. A large number of butchers held a consultation at the slaughtering houses on Liberty avenue and, it is understood, went over the different slaughtering establishments to ascertain what should be done to the houses, and discussed the question as to whether or not they should com ply with the city's wishes in regard to government inspection. The butch ers. It is expected, will appear before the city council tonight and again pre sent their claims against government inspection, required by the recent ordinance passed by council. Dr. Charles S. Bond announced last week that he, too, would appear before the city fath ers in behalf of the enforcement of the meat inspection ordinance. In case the butchers have a representative at the meeting a forensical battle is ex pected. Dr. Bond will ask the city council to set a date on which the meat inspection ordinance shall become ef fective. From the butchers' war camp comes the story that supplies used so freely in bombarding the city's right to gov ernment inspection, are almost exhausted and the meat men are ready to hoist the sign of truce, enter the camp of the army fighting for pure meat, sign a peace treaty, declare the war off, and accept the government inspection, so much wanted. The battle has been a long one and the battle flag is much scarred, and for this reason the people of Richmond and- vicinity will welcome the earliest settlement possible. JOHN T.

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great Service for People Who Work In Richmond. Most Richmond people work every day in some strained, unnatural posl tion bending constantly over a desk riding on jolting wagons or carsdoing laborious house work; lifting, reaching, or pulling, or trying the back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear, weaken and injure the kidneys until they fall behind in their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid ney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs. Richmond can prove it. Enoch Cromer, conductor on the Penna. R. R., living at 221 North Nineteenth street, Richmond, Ind., says: Railroading Is said to be hard on the kidneys and the continued jar and jolt of riding on trains got me in a bad condition. My kidneys became weak nd there was inflammation of the bladder. Many nights there would be three or four passages of the secreions before I could get to sleep, and this loss of rest made" me weak, depressed and in no condition for work. Frequently I felt faint and dizzy and general feeling of lassitude and weakness. Mr. Hiatt, of the Hiatt Drug Co., advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. I did so with good re sults. The backache was relieved and the kidney action became regular." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States.

BLAMES THE BRITISH FOR ACTION TAKEN

Hibernians Are Attacked by Scottish Churchman. NO EFFECT IN AMERICA. A dispatch from New York says that considerable anxiety is felt in that city because of news from Scotland that the archbishop of St. Andrews has ordered a circular read in all the churches under his jurisdiction, condemning the Ancient Order of Hibernians. In Rich mond no such anxiety is felt, accord Ing to prominent members of the so ciety. Michael J. O'Brien, an officer of the state organization of Hibernlaas states that there is absolutely nothing in the rumor so far as American societies are concerned, as the American division is absolutely independent of the order in Ireland and Scotland. Mr. O'Brien states that no matter what 'may be done or said against the body in Eur ope, it will have no effect on the or ganization in America. He is inclined to think the British government, which has so long stood against the formation of Irish societies, is back of the movement to suppress the Hibern ians. Very often well meaning and pi ous prelates are misled by the design ing methods and intrigues of British officials.

Many Feathered Creatures Use thi Same Ones Year After Year. That common expression for worth lessnres, 'It has no more value than a last year's bird's nest, " said a bird fancier, "la often far from correct, The majority of our birds do leave their nests after raising a brood, but many do not, and their nests are used through a uceestdon of years. I have known soma birds to use their nests ten years m succession, and so per sistent are they that many times the female will return ewn after the nest has been robbed and the mate killed. Anion? these users of perennial nests nro the wrens, some of the swallow family, bluebirds, great crested fly ratehers, some of the owls, eagles. chickadees and swine woodpeckers. "They repair to the nest each year and often build It over. A little wren has made its nest In a hole in a tree In my garden and has occupied it for the last eight years. Each year it lias piled on new stuff till the hole Is almost fillrd up. Some pay that as soon as It becomes crowded the birds will clean it out. I know of a bluebird's nest that has ben occupied for several years. It is the same female year aftr year, for fhe has two black wing feathers and Is lame. "Birds that build In exposed situations, like hangblrds, always build anew each season, nnd some others build anew for every brood. Some never build. They either lay In the nests of other birds or In the sand. The ragle end the owl make a framework of sticks and sligLt repairs are needed. Many birds nets that you find have never been used. For Instance, the marsh wren builds several with the Idea that In the cape of disturbance the male will attract attention to the nests other than that In which the female Is brooding and so shield her from enemies." An Ishmaelite of the Plains. The dead thing, wherever It lies, still remains the coyote's choicest feast. A creature without a friend, an Ishmaelite whom men and anhmnls have combined In despising, the Ideal thief and vagabond of the animal world, this gray, gaunt figurehead of the western world still survives, as much the own er of his empire ns he was In the days when bis ancestors looked with coclc eared astonishment and staccato ex clamations upon the expedition of Lewis nnd Clark feeling Its way slow ly across that transmlssourl wilderness whose future was then undreamedJames W.

It shows Its effects In rambling speech, pallid aspect and dejected demeanor, resembling the symptoms of the morphia taker.
