The htate board of arbitration and conciliation will to day be called upon to exercise its jrood oflices in the settlement, of the bi (jar men tmakers strilre. T!ie arbitration measure was pa.vsed by the legislature at its last session. There has been no occasion to use it until now. It was designed by the industrial committee of the civic federation and passed by a unanimous vote of the legislature. This first necessity for the invocation of the new law was brought to the at tention of the federation last night by Nicholay Crevstadt, who represents labor in the central council. The sug gestion was supported by Adolph Na than, who is a member of one of the lirrns involved in the fight. President William T. llaker ordered the indus trial section to meet at once and wire for the presence of the board. It will be the duty of each party to abide by its decision for the period of six months, providing both at the outset are willing to arbitrate. .pf'.jxiateit by Co:il Ci. Chicago, Feb. 21. Three members of the Jacodi family were found uncon scious yesterday morning in their farm house near Niles ( enter. Fumes from a coal stove tilled the rooms and were responsible for their condition.

There was a good fire burning and the accumulating coal gas, instead of linding exit through the chimney poured into the room.

The refusal of three Republican senators to vote for Dr. Hunter, the caucus nominee of their party for United States senator, in the joint session of the Kentucky legislature, a few days ago, was, it seems, but the begiDing of developments which are likely to change the aspect of things in the legislature and state. The platform on which the Repub lican fight was made in Kentucky last summer indorsed the single gold standard in strong and explicit terms. Dr. Hunter was chairman of the state Republican committee and had charge of the Republican cam paign. The logical deduction from this was that Dr. Hunter was au adher ent of the single standard pclicy.and that every Republican elected to the legislature was iu accord with the declarations of the platform of his party aud a gold standard man. But things were not as they looked, for it appears that Dr. Hunter is now, if he has cot been all the time, abso lutely and unequivocally in favor of free coinage of silver. And it was the suspicion or knowledge of this that caused the three Republican senators to refuse to vote for him. The bolt of the Republican sena tors hastened developments and it soon appeared that Dr. Hunter had given a free silver Democratic mem-1 ber of the legislature a written pledge that, if elected senator, he would "favor such legislation and support such measures as will re store silver to the position it occu pied as primary or redemption money prior to 1S73, when it was the standard of value " The publi cation cf this pledge was in the na ture of a bursting bomb amoug the publicans. Dr. Hunter met the issue, how ever, and called a caucus of the Ra- plican members of the legislature. Forty two attended the meeting and tweuty six did not. Dr. Hunter made those who attended a speech, in which he appealed to them to stand by him, which they agreed to do. It is conceded that those who did not atteend the meeting will not stand by him Iu other words, the Republican party in Kentucky has split on the financial question, and, taking the positions of the Republi can members of the legislature as a test of the feeling of the party iu the state, it stands in the ratio of forty two for silver coinage to twenty six for gold standard. The mott impor tant question just now is how far the republican silver men in the leg islature will go in the matter of electing a United States senator who is in favor of free coinage Kansas City World.

To be thin, for a baby, is to be de prived cf its natural ease ; to suffer ind not be able to feel It ; to wear a sad pinched face ; to live on the edge cf sick ness; to grov imperfectly; and to lose the power cf re sisting disease.
