to restrain their striking employes. Unless
Chicago union . teamsters consent to the
formation of a permanent arbitration board
on Wednesday nsxt general strife Is likely
to result between them and the employers.
Every effort is being made by the Asso
ciated Teaming Interests to compel the em
ployed to submit all grievances to the 'ar
bitration board, but great opposition comes
from small . unions that want arbitration
conducted by representatives' of the In
dividual unions. S. T. Edwards, a member
of the employers' body, who tried to secure
a settlement with the livery drivers, stated
today that a settlement was not advisable
until the general arbitration board was
established. The large employers who hire
drivers will meet union delegations Wednes
day, when the question of establishing the
arbitration board must be settled.

Today, for the first time In A week,
hearses carried the dead to the cem

hearsea wera driven by nonunion drivers,
the livery owners abandoning tha policy of
pleading danger and withholding servloe.
Although the police were ordered to at
tend funerals if necessary anS nonunion
drivers went armed In anticipation of op
position from pickets, who besieged under
takers' establishments, no disorder oc
curred. Application for restraining order against
striking employes will be made In count

Today the liverymen -made an effort to
break the strike of livery dr1vers, which
has lasted for ten days. Tflelr carriages
and, hearses, driven by nonunion men, were
used at funerals and but little disorder
resulted. ' The funerals which were com
pelled to pass through the business section
of the city were frequently blocked by
teamsters and street car men, who placed
their vehicles In the way. The police In
every lnstanoa straightened out the block
ades Immediately. One teamster who In
tentionally scraped a hearse with his heavy
truck was pulled from his seat and ar
rested. The livery owners decided today
to make a fight for the "open shop" and
tsrued a warning to the strikers that alt
men who wished to secure their old places
must return by Monday morning or their
places will be filled by other men. After
Monday all the stables will be "open" and
will be conducted on that basis hereafter.'

. . HOW TO DO IT.
If there Is one thing mora than all others
that will give a man a forlorn and friend,
leas appearsnoe and make blm morbid and
"cranky" and disagreeable, that thing Is
dyspepsia. It makea ons forget his friends
and become morose and irritable. He la ao
wrapped up In his oan misery, that he Is
Inconsiderate of every one else. Relieved
of this terrible and depressing aliment he
again becomes a good fellow and a man
among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are beyond
question ths most effective and populsr
remedy ever offered to the sufferers of this
terrible dlsessa. Tha thousands and thous
ands ot cures they have brought about and
the enormdua fncrease of their sales fully
attest ths truth ot this statement
They are, above all, a natural remedy.
They possess exactly the same properties
that the gastric Juices and other digestive
fluids of ths ' stomach possess and they
actually do the digestive ' work of ths
stomach and enable that organ to rest and
recuperate and become sound and welt
They act In a mild, natural manner aud
cause no disturbance in the digestive or
gans. They prevent any fermentation of
tha food which causes sour stomach. In
fajrt under then Influence the . subject
forgets that he has a stomach and his
resulting cheerfulness presents a great con
trast to bis former dejection.
Millions of boxes of Btuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold annually and they ars
but In the dawn of their popularity. Every
mstl bring Utters ef thanksgiving .from
grateful ones who have been cured of this
terrible disease. The following Is one ot
hundreds received each week:
Kev. J. R- Hoag, of Wymoro, Neb.,
writes: "For six years I have been
troubled with dyspepsia. Last fall I be
came very much alarmed at some symp
toms of heart trouble and came to believe
there was a sympathetio relation between
the two diseases, or rather, that the stom
ach trouble was tha cause of ths heart
disturbance. I bit upoa Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets for a remedy and Invested a dollar
and a half for three boxes which lasted
me three months and I can sat any kind
of food I want and have a good, vigorous
appetite. Although I am 77 years old, I
now feel perfectly wsll and without being
requested by anyone I make this state
ment aa a compliment to tha virtues of
fcUuart'e Dyspepsia Tablets.
