Men who go out fishing in an open boat
hi the midst of a blinding storm and enjoy
it, must be stroosr and healthy and are
pretty sure to live to a ripe old age. Un
fortunately, the rash and hurry of modern
business life will not permit the average
man to take frequent outdoor exercise.
In lien of a life spent partly in the woods
and on the water, a man must find some
kind of medicine to tone up and invigorate
bim and incite the vital organs of his body
to the faithful performance of their normal
functions. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is the only thoroughly effective
medicine for this purpose. Its principal
action is upon the organs that feed the
blood, the stomach, the large intestines and
the liver. It facilitates the now of the di
gestive juices in the stomach and the
production of he.ilthy chyle in large quan
tities in the large intestines. It invigorates
the liver and purifies and enriches the
blood. When the blood is rich and pure
the old, inert tissues throughout the body
are torn down and replaced by new and
healthy fiesh tissues and nerve nber3. If a
man's blood is filled with the rich, pure
elements of health, he can get along with a
scanty amount of exercise. Disease germs
can gain no foothold in his system.
'"I had catarrh for several year and then the
grip and also had a hemorrhage from the
Fungs," writes Mr. T. J. F. Brown, of Sands,
Watauga Co., N. C. " I had the best medical
attention, but it could bring only partial relief.
I had more hemorrhages. I took twenty-live or
thirty bottles cf medicines, but continued to have
srelis of b'eoiing I commenced taking Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr.
gaze s Catarrh Remedy. I used eiht bottles
and have been able ta do any kind of labor for
more than twelve months. 1 owe my life to Dr.
Pierce's medicines."
GROUT BILL PASSES.
Raises Tax on Oleomargarine
Colored as Butter.
Washington, "Dec. S The house passed
the Orout oleomargarine bill by a vote
f 196 to S2. The substitute offered by
the minority of the committee on agri
culture, which imposed additional re
strictions on the sale of oleomargarine
to prevent its fraudulent sale as butter
and increased penalties for violation,
was defeated by a vote of 113 to 1.8.
The bii! as passed makes all articles
known as oleomargarine, butterine, ira-
i cation butter or imitation cheese trans
jmrted into any state or territory for
consumption or sale subject to the police
rower of such state or territory, but
prevents any state or territory from for
bidding the transportation or sale of
such product when produced or sold
free from coloration in imitation of but
ter. The bill Increases the tax on oleo
margarine colored in imitation of butter
from two to ten cents per pound and
decreases the tax on oleomargarine un
colored from two cents to a. quarter of a
cent per pound.
A long and interesting debate preceded
the vote, in the course of which those
who favored the Grout bill claimed the
additional tax on colored oleomargarine
was the only effective remedy for pre
venting fraud upon the public, while
those who opposed it contended that
fraud would be prevented by the sub
stitute and that the real purpose of the
irout bill was to destroy the oleomar
garine industry.
Mr. Waisworth, on behalf of the mi
nority of the committee, offered the sub
stitute prepared by the minority.
The substitute was defeated. 113 to ITS.
Th bill was then passed. to 92.

COMPLICATE SITUATION
Sympathetic Strike
Regarded
as Pending on Santa Fe,
Tice President liarr Issues Cir
cular to Operators.
Uneasiness is manifest along the -whole
Santa Fe system as a result of the strike
of telegraphers on the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe. It is the natural Inference
that operators will be called out on oth
er parts of the system to help the strik
ers win.
Trouble is looked for on the A. T. &
S. F. proper as is evidenced by General
Manager Mudge's order Friday, issued
to heads of departments to suspend all
work not absolutely necessary to the
actual running cf trains in case of a
strike. Telegraphers are expected to go
out at any moment.
A rumor is current that the men are
prepared to strike in sympathy if the
strike on the? Gulf line is not settled
within 24 hours. The situation is the
same on the Santa Fe bines west of Al
buquerque. General Manager Nevin of
the Santa Fe-Pacific in an interview,
said:
'A contract was entered into and exe
cuted between the operators on the San
ta Fe-Pacific, Southern California and
San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley
roads within the past two weeks, is only
to be cancelled on 30 days' notice. It can
not be violated by the telegraphers ex
cept at the sacrifice of their' integrity.
The one cause that could be assigned for
a strike on these lines would be one of.
sympathy for the Guif, Colorado and
Santa Fe telegraph operators."
As time passed and it became evident
that early expectations of settling the
Guif strike within eight or ten hours
were not realized, a rumor came out
that the operators on the A. T. & S. F.
proper would go out Friday noon. This
hour passed without the fulfillment of
the rumor and General Manager Mudge's
order was issued. Saturday noon was
then named in the current reports as
the time set for the operators to strike.
Prior to Mr. Mudge's order a 14
page pamphlet was sent to all agents
and operators on the Santa Fe system,
giving in detail the proceedings and cor
respondence between the company offi
cials and the Gulf operators. It was
issued from the third vice president's
office under date of Wednesday, Decem
ber 5.
The pamphlet gives all the telegrams
that passed between the representatives
of the company. Tp to December 1 the
attitude of both was to consent to ar
bitration. The telegraphers had made
some accusations of delay and opposi
tion against their interests by minor
officials. The company was offering
prevalent Texas road wages and rules
and refrula tions the same as on other
Santa Fe lines.
Just before the strike was ordered,
with President Dolphin of the O. R. T.,
in Galveston, the following telegrams
were exchanged:
Galveston, December A, 1900.
J. M. Barr, Chicago:
After waiting five months and., re
peated exhaustive conferences with
yourself and general manager in Chi
cago, and again with general manager
here, regarding schedule submitted by
Gulf men, they are now offered a
schedule by you which contemplates
abolishing old schedule altogether, re
specting fifteen positions, a considerable
reduction in former wages at about
thirty-three other stations, and peremp
tory refusal to consider important rules
submitted by committee. The commit
tee have now apparently exhausted all
other ordinary means to adjust their
grievances on a mutually satisfactory
basis, and we earnestly request that you
agree to submit ail existing differences
for matters in dispute to the arbitration
of wholly disinterested and competent
persons, to be chosen and to act imme
diately. M. M. DOLPHIN.
Galveston, December 5, 1900.
J. M. Barr, Chicago:
Dolphin has misrepresented the facts
to you. On the basis of adding average
of five years' ticket commissions to
present salaries, advances have been
made at all stations with the exception
of seven. At these seven where reduc
tions were made the committee in go
ing over the schedule accepted three of
them. Total advance in salaries of
a-gnts who also do telegraphing is
$115.47, and total decrease is S21.35,
making net increase SS4.12. There were
only two reductions proposed in salaries
of operators alone, which was owing al
together to changed conditions of busi
ness at these points. Decrease in these
two aggregated ten dollars. The total
increase proposed in salaries of oper
ators alone was $W5. making net in
crease $J6. In so far as eliminating
fifteen stations from the scheduie is con
cerned, I stated to the committee that
we would not treat with them for
wages at stations where the agents do
no telegraphing, but notwithstanding
this fact there are only six stations n
the road heretofore included in the
schedule where we have failed to treat
with them, and the salaries at these- six
stations will certainly not be reduced.
Tr. Dolphin neglected to state to you
that we had added to the schedule at
least three stations that have never
heretofore been included in it. The sal
aries propose! are higher than those
commonly paid by other roads in the
state. ' Ij. J. POLK.
Chicago, December 5, 1900.
M. M. Dolphin. Galveston, Texas.
Tour telegram fourth received. The
statements contained therein are not
supported by action taken by Colonel
Polk, with whom I have communicated.
We have desired to settle the demands
made by Guif operators on an equitable
basis, and with this purpose in view
made vou proposition contained in my
telegram November 19 to arbitrate wage
rates in case of disagreement. We de
cline to arbitrate rules and regulations
governing the employment of operators,
because those offered Gulf operators by
us are the same as were accepted by
vou for operators west of Albuquerque
on November 13, last, after proposition
to arbitrate same in case of disagree
ment had been made by us and accepted
bv you. This is evidence of fairness of
such rules so far as operators are con
cerre,j. If you are unwilling to settle
demands cf operators on- basis offered
bv us, we have no further proportion
to make you with respect thereto,"

BABY LAUGH
It belongs to health, for a
baby, to eat and sleep, to laugh
and grow fat.
But fat comes first; don't ask
a scrawny baby to laugh; why,
even his smile is pitiful! Fat
comes first.
The way to be fat is the way
to be healthy. Scott's emul
sion of cod-liver oil is the prop
er food, if he needs it; but only
a little at first.
We'll send fori a little to try if yon like.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the fam
ily from colds and coughs is always a
serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequen
cy and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is a settled fact of hu
man experience.
Especially is this true during tha
stormy and unsettled weather of early
winter. Everybody must expect to be
caught somewhere or somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or cold
draught, or damp clothes, or may be too
close confinement in toot rooms and then
going out into the cold carelessly, or it
may be one of a thousand other littla
mishaps, but no one is shrewd enough to
always avoid the inevitable catching
cold.
Sometimes colds come like an epi
demic; everybody seems to have one at
once. The very air about us is poison to
the head, throat and lungs.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands of
families in all parts of the United States
are protected each winter by Peruna.
Once in the family Peruna always stays.
No home can spare Peruna after the

state institutions.

New Tork, Dec. 8 R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business is progressing along con
servative lines, ft is without excite
ment and without great speculative ac
tivity, but with a confident undertone
which is to be explained largely by the
fact that leading concerns in most of
the great industries have orders booked
to employ their machinery at nearly full
capacity during months when curtail
ment was usual. Is'o-net reduction in
working force has appeared in the last
fortnight and a readjustment of wage
schedules In some branches of the steel
trade is effected without trouble. Prices
of commodities are generally steady and
holiday trade 13 brisk at all points. Fhe
south is particularly cheerful with cot
ton firm and the rice crop coming in at
very full prices.
There is no cause for alarm in the
small volume of new business at irm
and steel centers. With the first sign
of higher prices there came forward
such a tiood of contracts that mills and
furnaces booked orders sufficient to
keep the full force employed for months.
Hence there has come a more quiet con
dition, with less bidding for products

this fact is found in the beautiful home
of Mrs. Paul Peschel. of 14 Quitman
street. Newark, N. J. Read her letter.
Newark, N. X, June 17, 1900.
Dr. S. B. Hartman:
Dear Sir "Mv three children were
sick and my husband had an attack of
la grippe. I jrave the children Peruna,
and now thev look as if thev hadn't
been sick at all. I also gave it to m v
husband until he was good and well.
1 do not know how I could have tood
taking care of them and being- up night
and day, had it not been for Peruna.
"Last winter was the first winter
in sixteen years that I did not have a
cou?h. It is Impossible to explain ray
thanks in words. I never looked as
we'l as I do now.
Peruna is our family medicine and
always will be. I do my own house
work and sewing, and get along
lovelv, now that I am so strong and
well, thanks to Peruna and your good
advice.
l cannot help but praise Peruna. 1
am never without it. and as soon as 1
find the children have the least cold I
give them Peruna. A few doses helps
them, and I hope that everv one who
reads my testimony will try Peruna,
as it is a friend indeed.
"Thankfully vours,

Peruna has been used In many other
homes with the same rsults. The fol
lowing are samples: Mrs. M. E. Sey

tried them for nearly every ill of life for
myself and family, and find them to be

Mrs. Maria Goertz, Cleo, Oklahoma,
writes:
"My husband, children and mys-lf
have used your medicines, and we al
ways keep them in the house in case of
necessity. I was restored to health by
this medicine, and Dr. Hartmans inval
uable advice and books. People ask
about me from different places, and are
surprised that I can do all of my house
Fortunately quotations were not forced
up unreasonably during the weeks of
greatest activity, and now there is no
sign of depression. On the other hand,
bars are more firmly held, while many
idle mills have resumed in this depart
ment and sheetmakers also insist on
better terms. Other forms of finished
material are steady- and at most points
pig is unchanged although concessions
are made for Bessemer at Pittsburg.
Numerous bridges are being erected by
the railways and a heavy tonnage f
structural steel is taken. Other railway
supplies are in active df-mand with roll
ing stock urgently sought. Business in
iron is particularly brisk at Chicago.

ing more attention 13 givf-n to export
Aside from a further advance of 2'i
cents in men's kip boots and firmness in
shoes, the market for footwear has
quieted down, but with no disposition
to recede from the generally higher
range established last week. Makers
have fewer new orders, however, and
heavy winter footwear has bepn pur
chased for the season's requirements.
The customary holiday demand has not
appeared, though retail-rs have full
lines of fancy shoes and slippers. There
is a shortage in some grades of hem
lock sole, but leather has ceased to ad
vance. Hides are easier, especially f ir
country lines at Chicago. Even after
the decline of the past two weeks th
average is above the closing prices of
October.
Wool remains steady and sales are
less than half last year's. Manufac
turers purchase carefully, and the goods
market ia unusually dull for the season.
For the first time in many weeks, the
cereal3 exhibited strength, and some ad
vance was to be expected after the ex
tensive decline. Wheat was started up
ward by the foreign markets and
prompt response here compelled cover
ing of contracts. Kothinir of impor
tance was learned regarding domestic
conditions, aside from the heavy mar
keting at Interior cities as indicated by
western receipts of 525.402 bushels,
against S.901.T9S in the previous week
and 5.233.010 a year ago. On the other
hand exports at the Atlantic coast cities
were only 2.214,409 bushels against 3,
359.677 in 1S&9.
More strength was shown by com.
which brought out receipts of 4.609.1S6
