KIDNEY TROUBLES Cured by Lydia E. PinkhanVa Vegetable Compound, Also Backache, I cannot speak too highly of Mra Pinkham’s Medicine, for it has done so much for me. I have been a great sufferer from Kidney trouble, pains in muscles, joints, back and shoulders; feet would swell. I also had womb troubles and leucorrhoea. After using Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and Blood Purifier and Liver Pills, I felt like a new woman. My kidneys are now in perfect condition, and all my other troubles are cured.— Mrs. Maggie Potts, 324 Kauffman St., Philadelphia, Pa. Backache. My system was entirely run down, and I suffered with terrible backache in the small of my back and could hardly stand upright. I was more tired in the morning than on retiring at night. I had no appetite. Since taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, I have gained fifteen pounds, and I look better than I ever looked before. I shall recommend it to all my friends, as it certainly is a wonderful medicine.—Mrs. E. F. Morton, 1043 Eopkins St., Cincinnati, Ohio. Kidney Trouble. Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, I had suffered many years with kidney trouble. The pains in my back and shouiders were terrible. My menstruation became irregular, and I was troubled with leucorrhoea. I was growing very weak. I had been to many physicians but received no benefit. I began the use of Mrs. Pinkham’s medicine, and t’ w e first bottle relieved the pain in my back and regulated the menses. It is the best kind of medicine that I have ever taken, for it relieved the pain so quickly and cured the disease.—Mrs. Lillian Crippen, Box 77, St. Andrews Bay, Fla.

GROWS IN GRAVITY. COAL MINERS’ STRIKE IS FAR FROM SETTLEMENT. Pittsburg District Miners March to Open Shafts and Compel Men to Quit —Railroad Trains in tile Coal Districts May Be Abandoned. Trouble Is Widespread. The coal*strike is extending and bids fair to involve all the miners in the soft coal mines from West Virginia to the Mississippi. In the Panhandle district in Pennsylvania sensational developments are expected. The men are beginning to feel the pangs of hunger and want and are in a condition bordering on desperation. A Pittsburg dispatch says: Organizers hare been secretly at work-among miners of the New York and Cleveland Gas CoaLCompany for several days. One of them was served with an injunction to remain off the company’s, property and leave the men alone. He said he had been at work among the miners of Plum Creek and expressed great hopes of being able to have them join the general suspension. As near as can be learned a concerted effort will be made in the near future td bring out the men at Turtle Creek, Sandy Creek and Plum Creek. The officials feel that in order to make the strike a success these miners must be brought out. They admit they have a difficult job on their hands, as De Armitt's men seem determined to remain at work. The mines are running to their fullest capacity and are supplying a large quantity^of coal to the trade. Much coal was offered at 81-25 a ton. Slack took a big jump and sold for 85 cents a ton. Before the strike it was sold at 40 cents a ton. There are hundreds of tons of slack coal at the mines in the Pittsburg district, but the miners’ officials will not permit any of it to be loaded. A number of strikers interfered with men who were loading from barges into cars coal that had been purchased by W. H. Simmons, a dealer from C. Jutte & Co. The men were compelled to quit work. Miners’ Secretary Ward disap-

proved of the action and issued orders to the strikers to molest no men who are handling coal that was mined before the strike was inaugurated. Reports come from Bridgeville that the strikers arc massing at that point with the intention of making a raid on the mines at Canonsburg, where the men returned to work. A determined siege will be the result. A mass meeting of the miners in the coke regions will be held at । Scottdale to consider grievances peculiar | to their own district, vXiich include the loading of “humpback” wagons, company stores, etc. Mr. Miller says it needs but a spark to inflame the miners in the coke region and secure their co-operation in the great strike. There are 2,000 men now' at work in that region. May Involve Railroad Men. Some new features will likely be introduced into the struggle within the next few days. It is believed the miners contemplate calling upon the'railway organizations for assistance. A meeting of railway employes was held in Pittsburg, and the situation of the miners' strike thoroughly discussc'.:. Resolutions were adopted pledging support to the strikers, and each member was assessed 82 for the strike fund. It was claimed the action taken was at the suggestion of the national officials of the Railway Trainmen’s Union. News of the Strike. Wheelmg, M . \ a. —The miners employed in the works of the Glendale Coal Company, eight miles below Wheeling, have gone out. Pana, Hl. -All slack loading has been discontinued and the miners remainhig in Pana are patiently awaiting the <>nd of the industrial battle, hoping for better wages for their work. Wheeling, W. Va. —Notwithstanding the breaks among the minors in the Fairmont district large quantities of West Virginia coal are passing through Wheeling for the- West and lakes. Steubenville, O. The Dillonvale and Dong Run milters held a monster meeting in the school house yard at Long Run and voted unauimonsly not to work a stroke until they got. their price. Jefferson City, Mo.—The coal miners' strike in the East has increased the business of the Missouri mines. The labor commissioner's office reports a general demand for men in the coal mines of the State. Rock Island, 11l. —The miners in the employ of the Coal Valley Mining Company at Cable and Sherrard villages have joined in the general strike. There are 225 of them in all, and the company’s shafts at both places are now idle. Spring Valley, Ill.—The first supplies in aid of the Spring Valk'y miners were shipped in here this morning, consisting of flour, coffee,vsugar and tobacco. They came from some of the big Chicago merchants. Money was also sent for the same purpose. Terre Haute, Ind.—The miners are learning every day of the action of unau-

thorized solicitors for relief funds. Nearly everywhere the regular committee goes it finds that someone has been ahead of it. Complaints of distress from the mining camps are increasing. Mascoutah, Ill.—At a meeting an official report was made that sixty-seven out of the seventy-eight mines in ^ie B*elleville district were closed, an^that the balance will be compelled to remain idle, by force if necessary, for the miners are in an ugly mood and trouble is expected to result should any attempt at resistance be made. ___ REAR ADMIRAL BEARDSLEE.

Cse Gentleness. Be gentle in stimulating the kidneys, otherwise you will excite and weaken them. The happiest results follow the use of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters to overcome renal Inactivity. Avoid the unmedicated, fiery stimulants of commerce. The kidneys have a delicate membrane easily Irritated, and upon this the action of such excitan's is pernicious. Malarial complaints, indigestion, rheumatism, neuralgia and biliousness succumb to the corrective influence of the Bitters. it Follows Vessels. The pilot fish is so-called because It was held sacred by the ancients, who believed that it led vessels in their proper course, and through dangerous passages. It is found in the Mediterranean Sea and In the Atlantic Ocean, on the coast of America. It is about a foot in length. It 1s noted for following vessels long distances for the sake of the food thrown overboand. There Is a Class of People Who are injured by the use of coffee.

Man’s Two Best Friends. Man's two best friends are said to be a gun and a dog. It is easy to get a good dog, but hard to get a good gun. The guns made by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, Ct., are not only always good, but they are acknowledged the best made in the world. For years the Winchester lias been the standard of the world, and to any one who has studied or examimsi its many points of superiority its popularity is not hard to understand. The repeating rifles and shot guns made by the Winchesters are in demand all over the world. Although they cost comparatively little, they are better than the highest priced hand-made guns in every way. Winchester ammunition is of the same high grade as Winchester guns and can always b? relied upon. Send for a large illusirated catalogue free. Baby Names. Names for b ibles are thus chosen in Egypt.

To Clean Wall Paper. (1) To remove stains or marks where people have rested their heads on xvall papers, mix pipe-clay with water to the consistency of cream, lax on the spot, and allow it to remain till the following day, when it may be easily removed with a penknife or brush. (2) Cut off the crust of a loaf of bread and rub the wall witii a lump of the bread; this will remove a great deal of the dirt. A man is a good deal more apt to take his wife to a French ball than to take the woman be intends to marry.
