The Gazette

2 CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, MAR. 21, 1908. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. We extend hearty congratulations to the Pioneer Press, Martinsburg, W. Va., on its entrance upon its twenty-second year. Editor J. R. Clifford and his excellent paper has our best wishes. We trust the future of the Pioneer Press will be even more successful than its most creditable past. CARMACK BRANDING THE RACE Senator Carmack is known as one of the bitterest men in the upper house of congress against the Negro, and yet he declares that he has no feeling of antipathy against the Afro-American. But his record is too well-known. He is an extremist of the worst type, going beyond reason and doing that which is most reckless and daring in his antagonism to the Negro. As editor of the Nashville American and of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, he did more to inflame the passions of the southern people than any other man of his time. He prefers to be considered a sort of an extraordinary "big Ike" and will risk his reputation to lose or gain that he may pose as a leader. He, however, is an unsafe leader because at times he has been very incendiary, inciting even the mob to violence and lawlessness; then again pleading the claims of the law. He is not a lawyer by any means but standing upon the floor of the United States senate, he attacks the administration and brands the Negro as a curse to the nation. He is atrocious enough to defend the criminality of ruffians who sought to drive from office Mrs. Minnie Cox at Indianan. But we need not wonder that the Tennessee senator has taken this untenable position. It is a part of his nature and according to his warped and unfortunate training that he assails the president. Trained as a dissenter from the least show of justice to the Negro, the loyal justice of the country need feel no surprise that a full-fledged fire-eater now again handles his stock in trade. It would not be Carmack if he were not attacking something favorable to the Negro, it would not be Carmack were he not venting his spleen against the colored man. The stream cannot rise above its source and the Tennessee senator would be at sea were he not engaged in the foul work of denouncing those whom he hates. He is not a statesman for he never originates anything in the cause of good government. He regards the Afro-American as a dangerous element, and a curse to be deplored. But from the time of his advent to this country he (the Afro-American) has borne the burdens and hardships of the white man and has added to his riches and comfort. In the time of the revolutionary war he followed in the lead of Green, of LaFayette and Washington to secure to the people a free and independent government. In the war of 1812 he met the British and under General Jackson drove them to an inglorious flight. And when our last sanguinary struggle was on and the nation stood suspended in the balance, the Negro at one bouncemoved on to the front to preserve and save the Union from dissolution and overthrow. In the midst of this dark and bloody drama, then convulsing a whole continent with the tread of marching armies, where was Carmack that he and his disloyal forces may now be accounted a blessing to the government and the Union? While the Negro was fighting and dying for the life of the nation, this very element that now so bitterly scourges the race, was stabbing the nation to its very death. To-day, the spirit of rebellion yearns for the sacrifice of the black man upon the altar of southern hate and despotism. The same spirit that prompted the oppression and enslavement of the Aro-American in the time of his servitude now seeks his degradation, and Edwin E. Carmack, quite unmindful of the benefactions of the Black man, demands and asks that enlightened public sentiment shall brand this race as a curse to the republic. The government has made ample provision for the protection of all her citizens. Rather then let the southern people save themselves from their own transgressions, make restitution for the untold sin committed against this poor people and let them be reminded to let the colored man do as best he can and our word for it, the race will take care of themselves. FAVORS SOUTHERN DOMINA TION. Any question which concerns the people north and south is national, and despite all the arts and intrigue of designing men, whatever interests THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1903. are involved in one section are involved in all. Col. McClure, of Philadelphia, is a smooth talker, but he is no more authority than any other newspaper man in saying that the southern states should be left to settle the race problem in their own way. The question of slavery, of emancipation and freedom in America has always been from the very beginning a national issue and it applies in every respect to the Negro as then. Slavery was a disturbing element under the government and it demanded the strong arm of the entire nation to control it. For a series of years it was our worst and most dire peril. The life of the nation was involved and it required the best wisdom and statesmanship to subdue the force and influence of its power. This "race" question is regarded to-day as a disturbing element in the midst of the people. It is interwoven in our body politic, it concerns the stability of our free institutions, it is the one great question before the American people, and regardless of all localities, wherein dwells the Negro, no one section of country can eliminate the embarrassment and evil incident to the hapless condition in which the country is placed. Minor questions less weighty engage the attention of the national government, why should this matter, grave and momentous as it is said claim the attention of the republic less? If Americans feel a proper concern for the welfare of the nation, they dare not leave this question solely in the hands of the southern people. Congress has legislated upon matters concerning this people, congress invested them with the rights of citizenship, has made her guarantees and the supreme court has passed upon them, why now is the south or any other section to be asked to stand guard as the custodian and keeper of the rights and privileges of the common citizen? Already the south has sought to bar the Afro-American of the endeared right of freemen, already the south has demonstrated the spirit and intent of their purpose to restrict, limit and deny the Afro-American the very blessing of life, liberty and happiness. In the face of these considerations is it at all likely that Col. McClure understands any better than others why the question of settling the Negro problem should be left solely to the southern whites for adjustment? Indeed is it probable that Col. McClure, great and able though he be, knows as well of the condition of affairs as other Americans who think differently from himself? But Col. McClure knows enough, yet he is of the old school of politicians who feel little concern for the rights of black men. He is content with the present desperate and deplorable state of things, and would bar all arbitration only to be called a "goodie fellow," reposing sweetly in the bosom of his southern friends who believe in the absolute humiliation and degradation of a race struggling to better conditions. Prejudice and caste annulled the suffrage law in the District of Columbia, it annulled it in the present defendant states, it proscribed the Negro and instituted cruel and vicious laws in furtherance of the black man's oppression. Now Col. McClure has said to a great and magnanimous people of the north, "Hands off, let the south settle affairs in her own way." What is the matter with Col. McClure? Where is the patriotism, the love of justice that he should demand that millions of wronged and outraged black men should be consigned to the mercy of a people whose motives and intent fully warrant their purpose to subordinate them to hard and intolerable burdens? Judge McClure very well knows that the southern people do not mean to accord to the black man the privileges of a common citizenship, he knows that they do not mean to accord to the race what our constitution guarantees nor what the people of the free north would most naturally demand and grant them. In short, Col. McClure does not believe in the equality of rights before the law. He dares not entertain this belief and leaves this question solely in the hands of a people devoted to sectionalism and a white man's government. A BLACK TRAITOR INVADES THE NORTH. Startling to say that now and then we find among ourselves those who for mercenary motives, or selfish gains are too ready to compromise the dearest and best interests of the race. Only a short time since there appeared in the church of the noted divine, Dr. Parkhurst, of New York City, a colored man, soliciting aid as a missionary of the Freedman's board in South Carolina. That man was the Rev. W. H. Mitchell, principal of the Harden Institute, Allendale, S. C. Astounding to know that although Rev. Mitchell appeared before that refined and cultured body as the friend and advocate of his people, yet his plea was against them. Like a sycophant, a trembling coward, a convicted criminal and a traitor, he stood before the astonished assembly and sold his race for thirty pieces of silver. In the house of his friends, among a people whose hearts are in sympathy with his cause and among those who well know the suffering condition of the Negro in the south, he dared not say that his soul was his own. Gazing wildly upon his audience, like a man struggling against truth and conscience, between falsehood and duty, this man said: "The present generation of grown up Negroes are hopeless. You waste your time if you try to save them. They are too far gone." Consternation and surprise seized the audience and people craned their necks in wonder that a member of the race could be found who would thus depreciate those who were bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. Scarcely recovering from this shock the audience was again stunned when Rev. Mitchell said: "Too much education isn't good for him. Take a Negro boy in one of the typical homes and educate him and you make him a worse man than he would ever have been. You simply educate the worst part of his nature. The only way to save him is to take him out of his home and put him in wholesome surroundings. If you leave him with his mother and educate him at the same time, you make him worse. Mothers are a low lot." "Disfranchisement," he says, "was the best thing ever done for them, because it makes them work to get $350 worth of property that they may vote." Thus did this colored man talk in the presence of the most refined and cultured people in the world and it is this class of men who are doing the race more harm than good. The question is already answered why some men should pursue a course so hurtful to their own cause and so blasting and destructive to the best hopes and aspirations of the rising youth of our land. The truth is, that these men feel no real concern for the welfare of their people. Content in their own self aggrandizement and in their own temporary success and advantage, they abjure the solemn responsibility of duty and obligation in furtherance of their selfish ends. Were it a popular thing in the south to advocate the claims of equality and the brotherhood of man, Rev. Mitchell would be as ready to respond to the prevailing sentiment. But the idea obtains with the southern mind, that the present generation of grown up Negroes are hopeless, and Mitchell gives acquiescence to the thought. With no purpose or desire to conserve the ends most lasting and feasible to the cause of humanity and prosperity, he surrenders himself the pitiable and abject slave to a vain and loathesome ambition. Contrary to the noblest impulse of the human soul, he conjures the Christian world to cease its toils and struggles to reform and regenerate the fallen, for the present generation of black men are hopelessly lost. Regardless of that sublime and unerring law that enjoins the education and development of all the powers of the mind, this idle pretender of learning repudiates the doctrine and declares that too much education is not good for the Negro. He contradicts every effort for mental improvement, every endeavor for better life, and he rejects the basic principle which inspires the love of knowledge. Rev. Mitchell is certainly a dangerous, a bad man and an unsafe leader. Who in all the annals of the world ever knew of education disqualifying a man for the duties of life? The Lord of Heaven embodies all knowledge and all wisdom and mind culture is but an approximation to Deity. Then, like an idle demon seeking to torture and torment us, he makes bold to favor the disfranchisement of his people as the best thing ever done for them. He spurns the fruits of the triumph of free government, he nullifies the great amendment to our federal constitution, and if it were possible for him to do, he would remand to servitude and degradation a whole race of men and women because of their menial condition, and all this he would do only to be retained principal of a small primary school. CONGRATULATIONS. State of West Virginia, House of Delegates, Charleston, March 9, 1903. Dear Friend Smith: Congratulations on the favorable legal ending of the "Click" Mitchell case. This effort of yours is a rich legacy to hand down to the black boys, unborn. Courage, purpose, endurance! These are the tests you have shown that you embody. Sincerely yours. Dayton, O., March 9, 1903. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor The Gazette, Cleveland, O.: Dear Mr. Smith: Permit me to congratulate you as the author of Ohio's anti-lynching law that the case against Champaign county for the lynching of "Click" Mitchell has finally been settled by the county paying to the "Click" Mitchell estate the sum of $5,500 and the payment of all costs, which will amount close to $1,000. I believe that the people of Champaign county will hesitate before lynching another black man. The payment of this penalty has been a lesson the people of that county will not soon forget. I firmly believe that the law you succeeded in passing in 1896 is the most effective and practical method of riding this state of the crime of lynching, and if adopted in all states would rid the Union of this crime as well. While I was glad the case was settled, yet I am sorry that Champaign county did not take the case on error to the supreme court of the United States. I have no doubt that the United States supreme court would have upheld the law and the effect of its decision would have been farreaching in the stamping out of this evil throughout the country and would have added additional glory to your name as the author of this law. Permit me again to congratulate you on the successful outcome of this case and to remain, as ever, your sincere friend. CHAS. H. BOSLER (white), Speaker Pro Tem. House of Representatives in 1896, and one of the two "Click" Mitchell case attorneys. A Blind Man Who Sees. A Blind Man Who sees. Carthagena, O.—In a recent issue of the Celina (O.) Democrat appeared a notice concerning the killing of a Mr. Blattian's dog "by a Negro." Mr. Blattian says he heard the sound of a gun, arose from bed, lit the lamp, went out and saw his dog lying dead by his meat house door. As Mr. Blattian is a blind soldier and drawing a pension, the question arises, how could he see the dog lying dead and see the man who shot him, even noting the individual's color? A little investigation is needed, it seems. Homesekers' Excursions by way of the Nickel Plate Road. Ask nearest Agent about them or address E. A. Akers, C. P. & T. A., Cleveland, 23 FLOOD SITUATION. Scarcely a Ray of Hope for Improved Conditions. Two Trains Are Caught in the Flooded District in an Arkansas Town Mississippi River at Memphis Makes a New High Mark. Memphis, Tenn., March 19.—The flood situation shows a number of new and serious developments, and there is scarcely a ray of hope for improved conditions, except the fact that tributaries of the Mississippi north of Memphis are falling. One of the most serious developments of the last 24 hours is the washing out of all lines of railroad entering the city from the west, and the complete tying up of railroad traffic through the Memphis gateway to that section. There have been no trains either in or out of the city over the Memphis bridge, and the prospect is that traffic cannot be resumed until the flood has subsided to a considerable degree. So suddenly did the rise come in the section of Arkansas across the river from Memphis, after the St. Francis levee broke at Trice's Landing, that two passenger trains were caught between washed out points and are now surrounded by water in the overflow territory, about three miles from Bridge Junction, Ark. Aboard each of these trains were about 75 passengers beside the train crews, and more than 100 of these persons remain on the trains, with no prospect of being taken off soon. The breaks occurred Tuesday night, just after westbound trains on the Cotton Belt and Frisco had left Memphis. The Cotton Belt train left at 9 o'clock and had proceeded but a few miles when it encountered a section of flooded track. In attempting to cross the rails spread and the engine was partially derailed, preventing the train from moving in either direction. While in this condition the Frisco train approached from Memphis and with its assistance the Cotton Belt engine was pulled back on the track. In the meantime, a serious washout had occurred between the trains and Memphis and retreat to this city was completely cut off. The trains are on the track of the Iron Mountain near Altmar, Ark. Before them are washed out tracks and behind them the foundation has been carried away until passage is extremely unsafe. Several hand cars succeeded in reaching the waterbound trains yesterday and about 50 passengers were brought to this city over submerged tracks. The others refused to attempt the return and are in the coaches, being fed by the railroad companies. Attached to the Frisco train is a dining car and adequate supplies were sent on the hand cars. The river here shows 39.8 feet, the highest stage ever recorded. It is possible that a fall may set in at any moment. But this prediction would be extremely uncertain, as, in spite of the fact that the river is being drained by the break at Trice's Landing, the rise at Memphis was almost at the rate of an inch an hour. The situation in this area is growing worse every hour and it is evident that a general rise of a foot more must occur over the entire submerged area. A Citizen of New Castle, Pa., Is Killed by a Hotelkeeper. New Castle, Pa., March 19.—John Genkinger, a well known man of this city, died in the Shenango Valley hospital here early Wednesday morning from a wound received a few minutes before at the hands of George Merkle, proprietor of a hotel at Darlington, Beaver county. The shooting occurred at the apartments of Mrs. Eva Rumberger, in the second story of the Genkinger block, and is supposed to have been the result of jealousy. Merkle was arrested with his smoking revolver yet in his hands before he left Mrs. Rumberger's apartments, by Officer Henry Bell, who arrived almost immediately on the scene. Genkinger was then lying on a settee and pointed out Merkle as he man who shot him. Merkle fired four shots, only one of which took effect. After the shootg Mrs. Rumberger was examined by Mayor Jackson and Coroner porter. She said Merkle was in her apartments when Genkinger appeared and asked her for a diamond pinhe had lent her. She and Merkle were discussing their probable marriage and Mrs. Rumberger says Genkinger remarked to Merkle: "George, if you don't marry Eva, after all she has done for you, you are a chump." This seemed to anger Merkle, who started toward Genkinger, drawing his revolver. Mrs. Rumberger says Genkinger then grasped an empty beer bottle and hurled it at lerkle, who was struck in the face, he breaking bottle cutting an ugy gash. Merkle then began to fire and Genkinger grappled to save himself. The men fought for a time, until loss of blood made Genkinger wak. Mrs. Rumberger says she fied to separate the men, but that lerkle seemed to grow crazy and stuck and kicked Genkinger long aftr the man was unable to defend himself. Great Storm England. London, March 1—The heaviest snowfall of the present winter was reported from part of England yesterday. Rain and hill fell elsewhere in Great Britain an Ireland, accompanied by gales all causing floods and great damage. between London-derry and Colerai thousands of acres of farm lands were submerged several feet by the breaking of the sea wall and hundreds of families had to flee. In the ortheast part of Warwickshire seven villages were inundated and cut off from communication with the neighboring towns. A Victory so Miners. Cripple Creek, Co. March 19.—The Western Federation of Miners has won thus far a signi victory in the battle which it is waging in support of the striking miners of Colorado City. With very fe exceptions the mines have agreed not to ship ore to the mills of the nited States Reduction and Refinin Co. Five Boys Owned. Joplin, Mo., Mari 19.—News of the tragic death of five boys was received here yesterday from Chant, I. T. The boys were plying on a raft, which capsized. DEMAND LARGER PAY. Freight Handlers on the New York & New Haven Rood are Ready to Go Out on Strike. New Haven, Conn., March 19.—The Freight Handlers' union of this city, numbering about 300 men and including truckmen and stevedores, has addressed a request to the management of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad asking for an increase of 15 per cent. in pay, "double time" for Sunday work and "one and a half time" for overtime work. The request names next Tuesday as the time limit for the return of an answer by the company officials. About a year ago these men struck for an increase, but the strike failed. Members of the local union say the reason of the failure was the lack of support from freight handlers in other cities, who were not organized. Now it is claimed the organization of the freight handlers at other points on the New York, New Haven & Hartford system has been completed, and that if a strike occurs it may involve the entire system. as other local unions are expected to make demands also. It is said that the reason the various local unions did not make their demands united is that the men in some cities get higher pay than those here and hence their desires are not uniform. While the unions act independently in asking concessions from the company they are said to be united as members of the national organization and would act in harmony for the enforcement of demands. There are two classes of freight handlers, the truckmen and the stevedores. The former get $1.60 a day and the latter, who pack the freight in the cars, receive $1.70. Both sets of men work ten hours. At present they get only the daily rate of pay for Sunday and overtime work. NOTICE 300 agents wanted.

He is a clerk in the adjutant general's office. Prof. W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce, was in the city last week and paid The Gazette sanctum a visit. Wednesday evening's World contains an interesting article on Ohio's anti-lynching law by the editor of The Gazette. Rumor has it that four or five individuals were "winged" in a shooting affair at the Brownell club on Tuesday evening. Walter L. Brown has resigned his position as motorman on the Central avenue line and has gone back to his trade-paper hanging. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Minter, of No. 82 Borest street, has been very ill with diphtheria. Anti-toxin was administered one day last week. At St. Andrew's church the Knights of Pythias will have their annual sermon preached on the 29th and the Knights Templars Easter Sunday. The subject of Rev. E. S. Doan's sermon is "Life Everlasting." Hon. Harry C. Smith will deliver an address at the meeting of the Anti-Lynching League at St. John's church Monday evening, March 23. The Colored American Magazine for March has a good portrait and sketch of him. Carl H. Browne, of Chicago, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Patterson, of 376 Lake street, en route to Buffalo. Mr. Wm. Johnson, of Cape May, N. J., brother of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Stewart, and Mr. Eugene Johnson are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Patterson. Thomas Fleming's successful fight for the election as a delegate in Ward 12 is another "feather in the cap" of the Young Men's Progressive Political club of that ward. Attend its meetings each week at Teutonia hall, corner Maple street and Scovill avenue. The Fisk Jubilee Singers will give a concert at St. John's church for the church's benefit on Wednesday evening, March 25. This is their last concert tour before, disbanding, and our people should avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing them. General admission, 25 cents; reserved seats 35c. Children's admission 15c. There is trouble in the "Black Tammany." It is said that Sam Moore and his crowd have pulled out of the Central Republican club (miscalled "League") on the ground (they claim) that H. T. Eubanks secured $25 or some sum of money without the authority of the club and has failed to divide or give it to the club. Quite a favorable impression is being made here by Mrs. Harvey Johnson Whyte. She seems an unassuming, modest lady, and her circle of friends is limited only by her number of acquaintances. — Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. Mrs. Whyte was formerly Miss Eva Daw, sister of Mr. Edward Daw, of this city, and has many friends here. Mrs. Nettie Demby, formerly Miss Nettie Ricks, who was here recently, came home on account of her parents' illness. She returns thanks for kindness rendered the latter during their illness. Rev. and Mrs. Demby are starting an industrial school in connection with their parochial school at Cairo, Ill., and are meeting with success. Beside the H. T. Zubanks-Sam Moore fight in the "Black Tammany" there is a "rumpus" on between Myers and the other leaders of the political click to discount the Hollenden house's chief tonsorial artist with Senator Hanna and Congressman Dick. It looks as if they have succeeded in downing their erstwhile leader, Myers. It is not generally known among our colored population that the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company is now writing insurance in their favor, as it once did not, but permit me to say that this is now a fact, and Mr. Frank E. Minter, who was for six years private secretary at Booker T. Washington's school in Tuskegee, Ala., has been secured to write insurance of this company in favor of colored people. He can be seen at 402 Superior building (opposite City hall) from 8:30 to 11:00 o'clock a. m., or his residence (42 Maple street) in the evening. Among those who did good, hard work in last Saturday's city republican convention for Reed were: Messrs, George W. Johnson, Henry Taylor, John Smith, Sidney Thompson, Walter Brown, Charles Henderson, George Copes, Edward Daw, Robert Bass and Thomas Fleming, who made a splendid nominating speech. The little "Black Tammany" were helpless, and it took the leaders of the Hanna element that controlled the convention to head off and stop Reed's steady progress. He certainly made a game fight, which is always next thing to a victory. One of the silliest arguments a member of the race can make from a practical standpoint is the one based on the theory that one cannot be deprived of a right. Many Afro-Americans console themselves by hugging this delusion to their bosom when there is not a member of the race in this country who has not been deprived of civil rights by congress and a number of southern states. For instance: a provision of the Chinese exclusion act re-enacted during the first session of the last congress which deprives all of our race of the right to testify in certain cases, and disfranchisement and "Jim Crow" railroad and street car laws. On the 11th of this month Thomas B. Ackridge, an employee of the Colonial hotel, ordered over the 'phone four sofa seats for the following evening at the Cleveland theater. On the 12th, the following day, he sent to the theater, paying $2 for them. That evening when he and his friends reached the theater they were refused their seats and offered cheaper ones. This they refused. The ticket-seller then tried to return to Mr. Ackridge $2 for the seats. This he refused to accept. On Wednesday he retained Hon. Wm. T. Clark as his attorney and suit for $500, damages and costs, under Hon. Harry C. Smith's civil rights law was begun in the common pleas court. Search for Happiness," an allegory for ten girls, will be given by the Young Ladies' Loyalty club of Shiloh church, April 16, the money realized thereby to go to the grand rally on Sunday, May 31. The rest of the program promises to be of a high order. The Sunday-school collection last Sunday was over $5. The infant class received the banner, their collection being $1.05, much to the surprise of other members. Some of the scholars in the infant (Miss Carrie Harmon's) class are not old enough to attend school. In his morning sermon Rev. E. D. Dandridge said in part: "All praise should be given President Roosevelt. He has indeed been, as he said he would be, a president for all the people." Wednesday evening's meeting of the Twelfth Ward Progressive Political club, although not an open meeting, was one of its best. Stirring speeches were delivered by J. E. Reed, Tom Shorts, Albert L. Williams, visitors; Thomas Flemming, Sidney Thompson, Walter L. Brown and Hon. Harry C. Smith, members of the club, and a unanimous resolution was adopted to oppose the elections of Henry Walker, candidate for the council in the ward, and Charles E. Marshall, candidate for councilman-at-large, and support the rest of the republican ticket. The opposition to Marshall's candidacy is based upon his effort and that of the "Black Tammany" to defeat the editor of The Gazette when twice a republican candidate for the legislature after being triumphantly nominated by the republicans of this county. Mr. Thomas Flemming was unanimously elected by the club to notify the daily papers of the city of this determination upon the part of the club. The opposition to Walker's candidacy arises from the fact of his unfriendliness toward our people and his closeness to the street car line corporations of the city, being backed by W. J. Crawford (white). The club will meet as usual next week. Treaty Ratified. Washington, March 18.—Without dotting an "i" or crossing a "t," even without changing a single punctuation, the senate yesterday voted to ratify the treaty wif the republic of Colombia for the construction of an isthmian canal. The vote for ratification was 73 in the affirmative to five in the negative. The senate was in executive session when the result was announced, so that only the senators themselves and a few confidential employees were present. All the senators announced themselves as gratified to have the long struggle terminated, but none of them manifested their appreciation by cheers or handelapling. On the contrary all of them seemed more concerned about getting away from the chamber than about anything else. The Teamsters Win Kansas City, Mo., March 18. After arguments lasting more than eight hours, the attorneys and representatives of the striking teamsters and transfer companies reached an agreement last night, and to-day every transfer wagon in the city will be running as usual. By the terms of the settlement the transfer companies agreed to recognize the union and made other concessions which amount to almost a complete victory for the strikers. With one exception, the wage scale was accepted as presented by the teamsters. The question of hours will be settled as the teamsters demanded. The men will work ten hours a day and will receive extra pay for overtime. Refused to Accept Ultimatum Refined to Accept Ultimatum. Altoona, Pa., March 18.—The coal operators of bituminous district No. 1 submitted their ultimatum to the miners yesterday. It was an offer of an increase of $12½ per cent. for pick mining; an increase of 14 per cent. for machine mining and a nine-hour day at $2.70 per day for drivers, other mine laborers to receive a proportionate increase. The miners rejected the offer. In refusing a nine-hour day on a basis of $2.70 a day and insisting upon an eight-hour day on a basis of $2.56 a day on 28,000,000 tons annually, the miners voted to relinquish $1,100,000 in wages annually to enforce an eight-hour day.

New Berlin, Ill., Mar. 16th:—Mr. Frank Newton of this place speaks very earnestly and emphatically when asked by any of his many friends the reason for the very noticeable improvement in his health. For a long time—over two years—he has been suffering a great deal with pains in his back and an all over feeling of illness and weakness. His appetite failed him and he grew gradually weaker and weaker till he was very much run down. A friend recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills and Mr. Newton began to take two at a dose three times a day. In a very short time he noticed an improvement; the pains left his back and he could eat better. He kept on improving and now he says: "Yes, indeed! I am a different man and Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all. I cannot tell you how much better I feel. I am a new man and Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve all the credit." Better Than a Clock.

I suffered dreadfully from inflammation and doctored continually, but got no help. I suffered from terrible dragging sensations with the most awful pains low down in the side and pains in the back, and the most agonizing headaches. No one knows what I endured. Qfthen I was sick to the stomach, and every little while I would be too sick to go to work, for three or four days; I work in a large store, and I suppose standing on my feet all day made me worse. "At the suggestion of a friend of my mother's I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it is simply wonderful. I felt better after the first two or three doses; it seemed as though a weight was taken off my shoulders; I continued its use until now I can truthfully say I am entirely cured. Young girls who are always paying doctor's bills without getting any help as I did, ought to take your medicine. It costs so much less, and it is sure to cure them. - Yours truly, ADELADEPAHL, 174 St. Ann's Ave., New York City." — $5000 forfeit if original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced.

The Grip Leaves Thousands in its Path Weak, Nervous, Dyspeptic, Catarrh Wrecks. "For Grip and the after effects like debility, nervousness, dyspepsia and other catarrh conditions resulting from the Grip, in the entire Materia Medica I have found no remedy that equals Peruna for prompt action."—Dr. S. B. Hartman, President The Hartman Sanitarium. From N.Y. Journal. "During the recent Grip epidemic, claiming a million victims or more, the efficiency of Peruna in quickly relieving this malady and its after effects has been the talk of the continent." WOMAN'S GENTLE NATURE CALLS FOR GENTLE TREATMENT Delicately formed and gently reared, women will find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maidens, wives, or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions, when the system needs a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not come from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nostrums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condition of the system, use the true and gentle remedy—Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depression, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guarantee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle. CALIFORNIA FIGSYRVP CO. LIKE A DEMON grip has crossed our country, leaving behind scores of physical wrecks. Victims of catarrh of the head, catarrh of the throat, catarrh of the lungs, catarrh of the stomach, catarrh of the kidneys, catarrh of the pelvic organs, are to be counted by hundreds of thousands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and sows the seed of chronic catarrh within the system. This is so true that few grip sufferers are able to make a complete recovery until they have used Peruna. Never in the history of medicine has a remedy received such unqualified and universal eulogies as Peruna. A New York Alderman's Experience. Hon. Joseph A. Flinn, alderman Fifth District, writes from 104 Christopher street, New York City, as follows: "When a pestilence overtakes our people we take precaution as a nation to preserve the citizens against the dread disease. "La gripe has entered thousands of our homes this fall, and I noticed that the people who used Peruna were quickly restored, while those who depended on doctor's prescriptions, spent weeks in recovering, leaving them weak and emaciated. "I had a slight attack of la gripe and at once took Peruna, which drove STILL GREATER COMBINES. Judge Knapp Speaks of the Future Developments of the Trust Movement. At the Arkwright club annual dinner at New York city the other night Judge Martin I. Knapp, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, speaking on trusts, said: "The truth is that new conditions have arisen and new methods must be adopted. To-day the great enterprises of the world are in the hands of corporations, and the time is fast approaching when they will absorb all important undertakings.

"I should like to see our Board of Health give it official recognition and have it used generally among our poor sick people in Greater New York."—Joseph A. Flinn. D. L. Wallace, a charter member of the International Barber's Union, writes from 15 Western avenue, Minneapolis, Minn.: "Following a severe attack of la gripe I seemed to be affected badly all over. I suffered with a severe back ache, indigestion and numerous ills, so I could neither eat nor sleep, and I thought I would give up my work, which I could not afford to do. "One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and I procured a bottle the same day. I used it faithfully and felt a marked improvement. During the next two months I took five bottles, and then felt splendid. Now my head is clear, my nerves steady, I enjoy food, and rest well. Peruna has been worth a dollar a dose to me."—D. L. Wallace. Mr. O. H.
