More thar Will Not Lie Now. [Yorkville Enquirer.] If Judge Parker had waited until after the adjournment of the conven tion before saying what he said Sat urday, there would have been those; who would have charged him with dishonesty. But such a charge will not lie now. As a prominent leader at St. Louis said, the judge’s telegram elevated him a full foot higher than he was before the telegram was sent. Nor is the effect of the strike con fined to the employes and packers in the nine cities where the fight will be centered. The consuming pub lie will bear a large share of the burden in higher prices for meats. Reports already have come from various cities that prices of the prod uct have been raised. This advance, too, was said to be but a forerunner of others, if the conflict continues long. In addition to the 50,(MJO em- out packing houses about the city but as 3,500 members of the union have been ordered to quit work to day there will be no one to cut up the supply. “Roughly speaking,” said the presi dent of a leading firm of packers, “1; should say New York has about one j week’s supply.

Even Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten Years of Suffering. “I wish to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,” says Mrs. Mat- tie Burge, of Martinsville, Va. “I suffered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and during that time tried various medicines without obtaining any permanent relief. Last summer one of my children was taken with cholera morbus, and I procured a bot tle of this remedy. Only two doses were required to give her entire re lief. 1 then decided to try the medi cine myself, and did not use all of one bottle before I was well and 1 have never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot say too much in favor of that wonderful med icine.” This remedy is for sale by Cherokee Drug Co., Gaffney; L. D. Allison, Cowpens. Secretary of War Taft declared in a speech at Harvard that lie was against promising independence to Filipinos, and Mr. Olney answered him at a dinner. Weak Hearts are caused by indigestion. If you eat a little too much, or if you are sub ject to attacks of indigestion, the stomach expands—swells, and puffs up against the heart. This crowds the heart and shortens the breath.

In addition to the slaughtering de ! partments of all the plants being tied : up. the strike affects other branches , of The industry in which articles as: butterine, soap, buttons and combs are manufactured. The canning depart ments where beans, soups and all j kinds of meats are put up, are also hit hard, the union employes having gone out in a body. Forty thousand persons, approximately, find employ ment in the big packing houses in Chicago, and this number already has been -reduced one-half. The effect ol the strike upon the mechanical and other departments, it is declared, will increase this army of unemployed in Chicago before the end of the week to nearly 35,000. Arbitration is looked upon as the only means to avert a prolonged strike The strikers declare that they will be willing to consider any reasonable proposition submitted from the othei Side. The detail of police at the stock yards has been increased in num ber, and all night long the officers patrolled the strike district and the strt ts adjacent to Uh? yards in pairs. There was considerable speculation if the strike does not last more than two or three days, we shall feel its effect more or less. If it lasts a much longer time we shall simplj have to stop eating beef.” The strike has already caused an advance of one cent a p^tid in the wholesale price of beef here. The employers in this city declare thev will make an effort to get other men to take the plac eof the strikers. American Central Figure In Sensation al Paris Affair.

S. Ball, of Rarenawood. W. Va., ti asters would go out on a sympathet ic strike. George Golden, business agent of the union, set all doubts at rest at a meeting of the teamsters joint council by announcing that the teamsters w'll remain at work as long as there is work for them to do. A crowd of men and boys numbering more than 5,000 for the most par,, striking employes, gathered in squads today about the entrance to the stock | yard and discussed the situation. Most of them were in holiday attire. in general, the greatest good nature pre vailed. The only activity specially noticeable within the great gloomy an 1 desert looking buildings was at the Swift and Armour plants. In the canning department of the Swift establishment a number of men were at work, while at Armour’s a gang ol men were busy loading provisions into i string of refrigerator cars. With a seeming certainty of a meat famine, should the strike last mort than a week, both the packers ana the strike leaders took a serious view of the situation today. Each side thoughtfully considered the arbitration channel of escape from the entangle ment. Indeed, predictions were ven tured that an armistice might be ar ranged witl/n 24 hours. Such opti mistism. In. ver, was received win a good deal of incredulity. President Donnelly, of the Butcher Workmen’s union, expressed regret that the pack ers' offer to arbitrate had not beer, made earlier. Had it been, he said the strike might have been averted. “the delay of the packers to agree to arbitrate.” he said, “is responsible . for Hie strike. They did not make known their position until after the unions had declared the strike, am then it was too late for me to do any thing to stop the trouble. It will be an expensive war, but apparently it will have* to be fought out. We are strong—stronger, strange as it may seem, than the packers. We have tht whole country to draw upon for the sustenance and have no dividends tr pay. If the packing plants are idle a month it will eat up all their divi dends for two years.” In spite of expressed hopes tor ar. early adjustment of the difficulties the packers have hurried preparations for a siege.

He had made a sub-lance from the cultures which he calls Leprolin anil which when in jected into lepers has marked bene- fi • ia! action alleviating the symptoms of the disease. The salt is extracted from the nu (rent media and it is discovered that the bacillus will not grow m tin* pres ence of this salt.
