Chief Dcnihuc rocelted a telegram last
night from hi representative sent to Jop
lin, Mo., to lilentlfy tlin two men, Johnson
nd Mitchell, who were arrested there
under suspicion of being Implicated In the
Cudahy kldnnplng. The message wns to
.the effect that they nre not the men wanted.
The chief. says he will not ask to have them
returned to Omaha.
A special to Tho Hen from Joplin re
ceived lost night, says' "Detective Hayes
arrived today from Omaha and after care
fully looking over the t'.vo sUBpec.ts said
thoy wtre not tho men who were implicated
with Tat Crowe In the Cudahy kidnaping.
It was evident, however, that tho two men
recognized the detective Immediately, and
at the close of the Interview the latter said
he had seen both men In Omaha. Asked If
they would rfturn to Omaha without rcqul
sltlon papers they replied that they would
not. They appear very nervous. Previous
to their arrest they had hocn spending
moDey freely and the ottlcorB here have
learned thnt J2G0 of the money they lav
ished was In gold, I lie icmalnder was In
hills ami silver. Local authorities are sat
isfied that the men had been guilty of some
crlmi presumably the robbery of u bank
nnd that they nre wanted somewhere. They
will be held fur several days pending an
Investigation. "
Chief Donahue's leprcsentntlve who went
to Joplin has never before appeared pub
licly In this case, and both ho nnd the chief
nre anxious that his identity should nut
be generally known. For finko of conven
ience ho assumed the nntno "1'at Cluncy"
before leaving the city on his errand, but
from Iho foregoing dispatch it seems that
he has changed his pseudonym to "Dotec
tlve Ilnycs." There Is no Detective Hayes
on the Omaha force. The chtcV says that
this man Hnyrs or Cluncy will bo able
to Identify Pal Crowe's two pals If they
are over ai rested but In the meantime
there Is reason for keeping hliu In the
background.

The labor papers furnished a subject for
discussion nt a meeting of the Central
Labor union last night, and the members
who opposed the starting of tho paper
were Jubilant nt the early fulfillment of
their prophecies.
The question camo up on a motion of
Asa Taylor Instructing the board of direc
tors of the paper to accept advertisements
from ,!le department stores. This preclpl
tateil a discussion which consumed several
hours. Delegate Moore of the Horsosuocn
tin'en stated that the committee having tho
paper lu charge pledged themselves not to
ncrpt any advertisements from depart
ment stores, nnd with that understanding
the unions and their members had sub
scribed for the paper.
Delegate Hell, from the rnlnteis' union,
took occnslon to show how, lu bis opinion,
the labor paper was being operated as a
nrlvalc "craft" by tho president of the
Central Labor union and u few other per
sons. Then came another long debate, nt the
close of which Asa Taylor suffered his llrst
defeat In the body since his first election
as president, his motion being lost by a
vote of 4 lo 1.
Tho new wago scale of the Hodcarrlers'
union wns presented. Delegates from
otl.cr building trndes objected to Its con
sideration until the Ilulldlng Trades' coun
ell should act upon tho sccle. In the dis
cussion It was stated thnt tho Uulldlng
Trades' council would deem It an Insult for
the contral union to n t before tho council
The mntter was postponed pending tho ac

The Nebraska Label league was admitted

It wns decided to appoint a committee to
wnlt upon the members of the Douglas
county delegation asking them to oppose
tho bill repcnllng tho exemption laws of
tho state. The proposed law has created
considerable excitement, as tho bill Is In
tended to permit a creditor to levy upon
all personal property, without exception,
without n trial of the Issues In tho case.
Tho majority of the members of tho union
expressed themselves In favor of a law
which would force "dead beats" to pay
their hills, but did not favor the plan ot
permitting creditors to seize upon all prop
erty of debtors. A committee, consisting
ot three members, was elected, as fol

COLt'M Ill's, O.. Feb. 1
The seernd day s I
session of the Joint conference of the conl
operators anil miners was enlled to order
by Chalrmnn John Mitchell of tho Miners'
union. Tho committee on permanent organ
ization reported the result of Its delibera
tions ns announced last night.
The committee on credentials presented
their report, showing that there were l!'J
miner delegates present and 1S2 operators
W. D. Hyan of Illinois then moved thnt
lona and Mlchlgnn delegates be admitted
to the conference. Tho motion was followel
by remarks from President Mitchell ami
Vice President Lewis of the Miners' union
favoring their admission. F. L. Uobblns. a
Pennsylvania operator, replied that the In
terstate movement was confined to Ohio,
Illinois. Indiana. Pennsylvania nud West
Virginia and there was no renson why
these other states should bo represented by
voice In the convention, but the operators
did not object to their representatives
being seated. The nttempt of tho miners to
bring In other states when West Virginia
was out wns unfair.
II. L. Chapman, a leading Ohio operator,
reviewed the history und origin of the Joint
conferences and said West Virginia had
been In controversy from the llrst meeting
held. He claimed thnt West Virginia coal
was being delivered In Detroit for less
money than the four competing states can
lay it down for.
The conference continued tho dlBcusslon
for some time ami when a vote was finally
reached it resulted lu a tie, 10 for nnd 10
against tho proposition to admit the Mlchl
gau nud Iowa delegations. The chair de
cided the motion was lost and n long par
liamentary wrangle followed. A recess was
then taken.
Senlo Ik Declnrril t'nrrleil.
During tho afternoon session President
Mitchell moved that tho operators present
their scale, which was declared carried, nnd
F. L. Itobblns, while stating that the oper
ators had no scale, olfered a resolution
that the scale of last year be reduced 10 I
cents per ton, with n corresponding re
duction in nil other work.
After a long debate the resolution was
referred to the scale committee." Tho oper
ators then requested that the miners pre
sent their proposition. President Mitchell
responded on bohnlf of the miners, outlin
ing their demunds as follows:
Pit-Hi An Increase of 10 ner cent In the
price of mining and nil mine labor.
Second The adoption of u scale on tho
run-nf-tnlne basis.
Third A Hat tllnerenllul Detween tne
PI'Ich of mnchlno and pick mining, tho same
to be uniform throughout the competitive
district.
Fourth That ull men empioyeu in or
nround the mines be required to become
members of the miners" organization.
Fifth That the dues of the nictnlxTs of
the organization be chocked oft In tho of
tlces nt alt the mines.
President Mitchell argued that tho run-of-mlnt
basis should he adopted for th
reason that two-thirds of all tho coal mined
lu the competltlvo district wns paid for
on that basis. He discussed the machine
question at length, declaring that it was
ono of the chief subjects of controversy
and that the miners would not bo satisfied
until a uniform nnd fixed differential hnd
been ndopted.
At tho conclusion of President Mitchell's
address tho conference adjourned to meet
nt the call of tho scale committee. Tho
prospects for nn agreement are not bright
ami tho negotiations promise to be pro
tracted. There Is little probability that
the operators will concede the demands of
tho miners either for nn advance of wages,
for the run-of-mlno basis or a uniform
differential for machine mining.

AN ATHLETE'S SAD FATE.
This is the story of a strong man. He
bad been captain of his foot liall eleven
ami a crack all-around athlete. He was
the picture of manly health and vigor,
envied by men and admired by women.
One day" he was taking a practise spin
on the river when a drenching storm
came up. When he returned to the Iwat
house he snt around in his wet flannels
without a thought of danger. What
could hurt him? He was "as hard as
nails," After a while he devclopcs a
little hacking cough which somehow
won't be thrown oil. In time lie finds
he hasn't the ambition he formerly had.
Uxercise wearies him. He is losing
weight. It is not very long before
he finds himself weak and emaciated,
stretched out In a chair knowing that he
is wasting nway day by day and hour by
hour. It seems a long way from that
chair " the gridiron and the diamond, a
great Liiaugc from that dripping athlete
lu the boat house to this weak nnd
wasted invalid. Hut the way is indeed
very short. It is a waj which thousands
tread every year and the beginning of the
way which leads to such a sad ending Is
A TKOUM,KSOMIS COUGH.
No man or woman is so strong as to
be able to treat lightly an ailment which
is the beginning of such a serious dis
ease. There is a cure for coughs how
ever stubborn, and that cure is Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
"I am fecliug quite well," writes Miss
Dorcas A. Lewis, of No. tug 2.th St.,
Washington, D. C, "and I owe it all to
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
I cannot say too much in praise of the
medicine. 1 had lieen quite a sufferer
for a long time, and after reading Dr.
Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser
thought I would try his 4 Golden Med
ical Discovery.' I commenced taking it
in May, 1899. Had not been sleeping
well for a long time. Took one tea
spoonful of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery ami slept nearly all night
without coughing, so I continued taking
it. I am in gTeat sympathy with cvrry
body who suffers with a cough. I had
been a sufferer for more than ten yenrs.
I tried lots of different medicines Mid
different doctors, but did not feel much
better. I coughed until I commented
spitting blood, but now I feel much
stronger and am entirely well. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
best medicine I have ever taken."

be classed with ordinary "cough medt.
cities." When the cough has been ob
stinate and deep seated, when there
have been weakness, night-sweats and
emaciation the use of Doctor IMerce's
Golden Medical Discovery has leen the
means in lmndtitls of cases of a restora
tion to perfect health The reason for
this success is that the "Discovery"
strengthens the stomach and purifies the
blood, thus enabling the building up of
the wasted tissues. All treatments of
consumption recognise the need of nour
ishment. The use of cod liver oil Is
onlv an attempt to impart nourishment
and so strength to the wasting body.
The oil is a food but it is an emergency
food. In its very form it recngnlres the
weakness of the slotnnch. "Golden Med
ical Discovery " strengthens the stomach
so mat tooci is ingested
and assimilated. The
body lcgins to put on
healthy flesh, and strength
cotnes'back again.

The claims made for
"Golden Medical Discov
ery" nre not imaginative
or theoretical. Uvery
claim of cure is founded
on n Kilid fact, a written
record, of the cure of deep
seated coughs, weak lungs,
hemorrhages, emaciation
and other forms of disease
which if neglected or un
skilfully treated find a
fatal termination in con
sumption. " 1 had a cough and
night-sweats, also spitting
of blood ; no life," writes
Mrs. M. A. Cnry, of (Indian
I ItU, Blackwood, Assini.
twia Dlst., N. W. Ty. " I
could not hold nny weight;
my shouldcts would give
way; had pricking pains
in "the chest, also nasal
catarrh nnd constipation,
I legan using Dr. licrce'i
Golden Medical Discovery
nnd for the first two or
three days I seemed worse,
and then all my nerves
felt numb, ns if they were
licing roused up. Used
about ten bottles of
'Golden Medical Discovery,' nine of
'Favorite Prescription,' and four vials
of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, and six
bottles of Dr. Sage's Caturrh Ketncdy.
Now I have none of the old symptoms.
I nm, so far, as well as ever before. I
shall recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines
to my friends."
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is confidently recommended for pulmon
nry diseases ami diseases of the organs
of respiratiou generally. It always
helps. It almost always cures, It is not
a tonic merely, but a flesh-forming, body
building medicine, containing no alcohol,
and being absolutely free from opium,
cocaine aud all other narcotics.
i'ri:b to this sick
Persons suffering from disease in
chronic forms are invited to consult Dr.
Pierce, by letter,yrtf. All correspond
ence held as strictly private und sacredly
confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. V.
Sometimes a dealer tempted by the
little more profit paid by less meritori
ous medicines will offer a substitute for
"Golden Medical Discovery," claiming
it is "just as good." Do not allow
yourself to be imposed upon. Insist on
getting the "Discovery."
