will do for every woman what it did for the
Minnesota mother who writes the above letter.
Not to use it during pregnancy is a
mixta he to be paid for in pain and suffering.
Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and clear intellect, which in
turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes
the muscles and allows them to expand* It '
relieves morning sickness and nervousness.
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect
condition for the final hour, so that the actual
labor is short and practically painless. Danger
of rising or hard breasts is altogether
avoided, and recovery is merely a matter of
a few days.

STRIKE CALLED OFF.
The Miners Are Partially Success in
Their Contentions.
H zleton, Pa, October 25?The
miDe workers' strike kas been de
dared iff 83 to ail compaDies wbicb
bas complied with the strikers' demands,
and the strike will be con
dnued against those companies which
bave not granted the Scran ton con
reotion's demand. The strikers will
return to work Monday at the places
TP here the tie up is ended
The announcement waR conveyed
n a statement addreased to the miners
and issued tonight by P evident
Vfitcbell and other cfficers of the
[Jr.ited Mine Workers. The state
Dent say*:
"Arter carefully caovas&ingr the enire
strike situation, we, your officers,
listrict end national, have concluded
;bat your victory is so nearly complete
that no good end can be served
py continuing tbe strike longer. The
5ontest has been in progress for 39
Jays, and the companies employing
?oo have, with few exceptions signiied
their willingness to pay the scale
>f wages formulated by theScranton
invention of October 12 and 13.
?'We are aware that some disappointment
and dissatisfaction has
peen caused by the failure ce the
rperators in district 1 and 7 to sepa ate
the reduction in the price of
powder from the advance in wages,
out after careful inquiry we are satis3ed
that each mine employee will ac;ually
receive an advance of 10 per
sent, on the wages formally paid. In
>he Schuylkill and Lebigh regions
;he largest companies have agieed
:hat the sliding scale should be suspended,
and that wages shall remain
stationary at 10 per cent, until April
I, 1901, those removing one of the
niqnitiesof which you have complained
for many years.
While it is true that you have not
secured redress for all your wrongf;
while it is true that the increase in
vour earnings will not fully compensate
you for the arduous lab^r you
are compelled to perform in the
mines, you have established a powererfal
organization, which, if main
t&ined and conducted on business
principles, will enable you to regu
iate many of your local grievances
nd make your employment less haz
ardous and more profitable than before
the strike began.
"The companies agree, in their notices
to take up with their mine emnlovees
all grievances complained of.
r?^ O ?
We would, therefore, advise that
when work is resumed, committees be
selected by the mine employees aDd
they wait upon the superintendents
of the companies and present their
grievances in an orderly, businesslike
mmner and ask that they be corrected.
"Your attention isrespec fully cull
ed to the fact that the laws of the
State of Penns)lvania provide-that
miners si ould be paid semi monthly, 1

notice on the companies that he ex

pects to be paid bis wages twice each j
moDtb, as provided by law.
"The practical benefits to tbe mi- ;
| Eerp, which accrue from thorough or- j
gaDizatioD. have been so clearly de- i
, monstrated during this strike that it
I &hculd be needless for us to urge
upon you tbe necessity of maintaining
your union intact. We trust,
however, that those who are now
members of the union will be unceasing
in their efforts to induce all other
mine workers to ally themselves with
the United Mine Woikers of America
at once, as it will be impossible for
vou to secure higher wages in the
future, or even to maintain the present
rate of wages, unless you are pre *
pared to c flf-r a united resistance if
any attempt is made to reduce your
earnings upon the expiration of the
I present offer. ,
"As there are some few companies J
who have neither posted, notified nor ^
signified in any other manner their
willingness to pay the 10 per cent,
advance in wages and suspend the
diding scale, we would advise that
loless the men employed by such I
ompanie8 receive notice bffore Mon'ay
that the advance will be paid, .
they remain away from the mines
nd continue on striked until the
companies employing them agree to
the conditions offered by the other
companies; and the employees of
the other companies who have (ff-red
the advance of 10 percent, and abol
; ish the sliding scale are hereby auhorize
to resume work Monday morn
ing, October 29tb, and to be prepared,
if called to contribute a reasonable
amount of your earning for the mairtenance
of tnose who may be com
pelled to continue on strike."

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until thelast
few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced itincura
ble. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts
directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer

CONGER INSTRUCTED.
He Will Immediately Open Negotiations
With China's Envoys.
Washington, October 25?Minister
Conger has been authorized by his
1 i :
government to uegiu ufgui;miuuo si
once with the Chinese envoys on the
basis of the points in the German
and French note, upon which all of
the powers are agreed. Upon those
points where divergence of views
has been found to exist the govern- j
ments cf the powers themselves will ,
negotiate with a view to reaching a
further understanding. It is understood
that the ministeiialrepresents
tives at Ptkin of the other poweis
have similar instructions, but whether
or not Mr. Coifger is not to be restrained.
The Berlin statement
that Germany had agreed to Japan's
proposal that peace negotiations with ^
China shall for the present be entrusted
to the foreign representatives
at Pekin is regarded here as an indication
that Germany has taken similar
action in the case of Minister
Mumm Yon Schwartzenstein.
The State department today re- ^
ceived notice from the British govern
ment of the terms of the arrange*

similar at all points to the copy furn
ished by the German government
ihrough Count De Qiadt, several <
days ago. Now that both govern- *
ments have been beard from ferm xllv, J
the S'ate department will turn its
attention to the preparation of thearswer,
wtoicb, as already indicated in
tbe^e dispatches, will deal with the
points likely to be acceptable to the

not have in stock,'1 says Mr. C. R
Grandin, the popular druggist of

ed and wanted to know what cough
preparation I could recommend. I
said to her that I could freely recommend
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and that she could take a bottle of
the remedy and after giving it a fcair
trial if she did not find it worth the
money to bring back the bottle and
I would refund the price paid. In
the course of a day oe two the lady
came back in company with a friend

her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's

From the Far Away Philippines.
Troop "M" 3d Cavalry,
San Fernando-de-la-UnioD,
Luzon, P. I., Sept. 14, 1900
To the Editor of the Dear Old Dis
patch and Kind Friends of LexingtoL:
,
First, the editor will accept my
sincere thanks until better paid for
the three copies of the dear old home
paper (the Dispatch), which I have
just fioished reading, and the editor
will please continue the same each
week until my departure for the >
United States, of which I willinfjrm ,
him bffore hand.
The Philippines are about the same
aswhenlla6t wrote. Time diags
away very slowly, but I assure you,
friends, "Will'1 is Dot discouraged at <
all and feels almost sure of his re- <
turn in another short 14? months to i
bis dear old home and loved ones <
again. ,
Some of the men in this command '
are looking very bad, but then I
tbirk ?Dd hope tbey will come out
0 K in the near future.
I would like very much to see all |
my friends once again. It is true I j
am a loDg ways from home, but then j
1 came this far and I guess I can go (
back that far. (
The fighting is about over until
the dry seasoD, and then I look for i?
proper. I positively do not believe '
all the fightiDg is over, for every now
and then we have a skirmish andean
hear of them all through the island
"K" Troop of the 3d cavalry, stationed
at Loag, above here, lost five
men killed and a number wounded a
few days sgo, aDd we bave orders to
move north now but I do not know
when we will move, I guess not until
the rainy season is over, which will
be about the 1st of December.
I received three letters of congratulation
on the other piece that I
wrote for the Dispatch sometime ago,
and two of them were from "girls."
Say, Mr. Editor, I have just finished
a plate of nice fish. I thought of
you, as I know you are a lover of nice
flaVi W? havpn't. v?rv manv varie
- . w J J
ties of meat over here, the principal
varieties being fish, chickens and
raoDkey. We generally eat all the
fish and chicken we can get and keep
the monkeys for pets. This Troo]
("M") alone has seven monkeys, an<
just think, I am not included in thai
seven either.
I haven't seen any Philippine damsel
yet that I thought I could love
verv much.
Well I can't write much this time
as I have been working for the
military commission for the past
three weeks and have two cases to
finish up on the typewriter yet this 1
evening. I will be glad when it
closes, for after the hard campaign
that I have gone through with, it is
not much pleasure to handle a type- 1
writer. I am nearly sick now, but
tbiok it is onlj a little homesickness 1
I wish the Dispatch the best of
success in all of its undertakings
and of course, that includes the
editor. I wish to say to my friends
I shall be very glad to receive a line
from any of them and at any time.
Whenever you get teu or twelve 1
ihousand miles from home, you have j
do idea bow it does cheer a poor soldier's
heart to receive even a line
from some dear friend at home.
"Even a word, even a line
cheers the heart and consoles the
mind."
If the sun gefs much hotter over
here, I gufes I w 11 be atoit the
color of Charlie Davis when I get
Jtober 13tf
I back.
Tbe farmers here are very busy
now working tbeir crops of potatoes,
tobacco, rice &nd sugar cane aod t he
crop of monkeys is very good so far
This place is with moDkeys just as
South Carolina is with dogs. I have
never seen anything to compare with
it.
I will close as there is no news
astir just now. My best wishes; to
all my friends and good luck to (he
editor. I will be glad to hear from
any of the boys and girls or gentlemen
or lady friends of mine at any
time. Very truly,

Chairman Jonee, the South Caroline
Democratic chairman baa issued the
following to the voters of the State:
To' the De mocratic Voters of South
Carolina:
In view -'of the preseot apathy
vhicb stnns to exist among the
Democrats of this State as to voting
it the general t lection, I feel it tolfe
ny duty as your chairman to address
fou in this public manner and or;t
hat you all come out on November *
ith and cast your votes for the Deto>cratic
ticket from President to
3oronor. Our people have gotten
uto the way of thinking that when
bey have cast their votes in the
)rimary there is no further use 'o
'o'e. But this is a very dangerous
policy to pursue and may resnlt in

md county tickets are safe, as the
?"publicsD8 have pat up no opposition
at all
The Republicans have an electoral
iicket in the field composed mostly
>f negroes, and they have a candi!ate
io every congr essional district
n this State, hoping to have their
candidates seated by a Republican
souse. Let every Democratic voter
come out and vote for the Democratic ?
Dominees in bis district and elect
them by such an overwhelming majority
that not even a Republican
bouse would dear unseat them or
even consider a contest.
The Democrats of this nation have
^iven you one of the grandest,
purest and most brilliant men this
country has ever produced, and the
Democrats of this State have given
you seven of your best men as candidates
for congress, and I cannot believe
that you will not come out and
vote for them. We have heard of
late various threats on all sides that
our representation in congress wobld
be reduced by a R?publican congress
on account of our small vote in the
general ele ction.
Now, fellow Democrats, do not
allow this serious charge to be made y
- s
against yen. Willie Jones,
