GOVERNOR 0 FOR EG 0 N
Uses Pe-ru-na a in His Family
For Golds 1 and Grip,
CAPITOL BUILDING SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From the Executive Officer of Orecron.
Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula
tion ami commendation testifying to the
merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every .State in the
CJnion. Dr. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher—all agree that Pe-ru-na is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
% stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost om
nipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso
lute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginningofcatarrh. Topreventcolds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na notonly cures ca
tarrh, hut prevents. Kvery household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. Ho keeps it con
tinually in the house. In a recent let
ter to Dr. Hartman he says:
State of Oregon, 1
Executive Department, v
Sai.km, May 9, 1898. )
The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, O.i
Dear Sirs—I have had occasion to use
your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family
for colds, and it proved to be an excel
lent remedy. I have not bad occasion
to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, VV. M. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Governor ,
says he has not had occasion to use Pe- ■
ru-nafor other ailments. Thereasonfor !
this is, most other ailments begin with a !
cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure
colds,he protects hisfamily againstoth- j
crailments. Thisisexaetly what every
other family in the United Statesshould
do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it
for coughs, colds, la grippe, and other
climatic affections of winter, and there
will be no other ailments in the house.
Such families should provide themselves
with a copy of Dr. Hartman’s free book,
entitled “Winter Catarrh.” Address
Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.

THE STRIKE OVER.
Miners Formally Accept Arbitratio
Plan.
W1LKESBARRE, Pa.—By a unani
[ mous viva voce vote the convention o
United Mine Workers on Tuesday
after much discussion, vigorous a
times, accepted President Roosevelt’
arbitration plan. The resolution a
adopted carries with it a declaratloi
that the strike is off and provides fo
an immediate resumption of work i:
the coal mines throughout the an
thracite region.
President Mitchell told the conven
tion that President Roosevelt had in
formed him that he would call
meeting of the arbitration commlssio:
immediately after the convention’s ac
ceptance of his proposal and gave i
as his opinion that the findings of th
arbitrators would be announced with

The end of the convention and of th
great strike which had lasted flv
months suddenly appeared close a

convention had given itself over b
heated debate for an hour and a hall
arose and calmly told the delegate
that it must be apparent to all of ther
that there was no doubt whatever tha
the president’s proposal would b
Adopted.
There • had been a renewal of th
feerious opposition of the steam mei
and heated words had passed betweei
delegates. Explanations of the presi
'dent’s proposal had been made in fou
languages. There seemed to be mor
opposition that ever to settlemem
when suddenly there was a break ii
the clouds when a motion was put b,
a delegate down in front, near th
presiding officer. In a clear voice th
strike leader called for a vote on th
all-important question and instant!
there was a roar of ayes.
The next instant messengers wer
flying in all directions from the con
ventiou to give the news to the wor!
j through the newspapers.

work Wednesday and that the mlnin

Roosevelt had been notified, the fol
lowing directions to the strikers wer
Issued:
“You are hereby officially notifle
that It was unanimously decided toda
by the delegates attending the specia
convention that all mine worker
should report for work Thursda
morning, October 23, and that th
issues which culminated in the strik
should be referred for readjustmen
to the commission apopinted by th
president of the United tSates.
“.We are authorized by the execu
f live officers of districts 1, 7 and 9 to
caution all those who resume work,
to resume more than usual care in
order that accidents to life and limb
1 _ may be averted. Owing to the condi
tion of the mines after an idleness of
five months there will be great danger

THE WORK BEGINS.
Preliminary Arrangements for Starting
Operations.
WILKESBARRE, Pa.—Thousands of
men began work on Wednesday in ac
cordance with the resolution adopted
Tuesday, repairing the mines and
placing the colleries in condition for
the general resumption of coal mining,
which will take place throughout the
anthracite region Thursday. Those
men who are directly engaged in cut
ting and handling coal will not under
the decision of the convention return
to the mines until Thursday.
While there were thousands of men
who were able to again begin earning
their daily bread, there were hundreds
who were disappointed when they ap
plied to the superintendents of the col
leries where they were formerly em
ployed. They were principally steam
men, engineers, firemen and pump
runners who struck on June 2 for an
eight-hour day and also to help the
miners win their battle.
, These men wanted their old places
back, but in many instances the com
i pany officials* refused to discharge those
who stood by them during the
strike. There were many in the
, Wyoming valley, however, who were
, fortunate enough to find employment.
The company officials maintain they
, will not discriminate against union or
( non-union men and that work will be
j given all when there are vacancies.
During the strike the companies were
compelled to employ many incompelent
men to help keep the mines free from
water or from “squeezing,” as a re
sult of the lack of proper timbering.
The strikers feel that the majority of
these workmen will gradually be dis
missed and the more competent men
engaged. A mine worker who came
into the union headquarters from
South Wilkesharre, said:
"The superintendents are turning
, down a good many men on the ground
that they are not needed. This is only
_ a “bluff" and they will be glad to get
[ our men in a day or two. The work
men they have are in most cases green
t and won’t be tolerated about the col
3 leries when the miners begin working
full time to catch up with the de
mand for coal. The companies will not
take the risk of having men killed or
mines wrecked through the mistake ol
some new men.”
Although the strike is over, the path
of the nonunion workman is still a
thorny one. They are disliked by the
unionists and it is not expected the
1 relations between them will be im
1 proved when they get into mines to
' gather. Reports were received here
t Wednesday that scores of the non
i union men have given up their posi
- tions and are leaving the region.
President Mitchell began the work
3 of preparing the miners’ side of the
3 case for presentation to the arbitration
t commission. He will be the leading
3 representative of the workmen before
j the tribunal and will gather around
him such experts in anthracite mining
j as will be necessary to properly pre
, sent his case to the commission. He
t said he did not know when he would
j make his first appearance before the
commission.
* WILKESBARRE, Pa.—The resump
tion of mining throughout the anthra
cite region Thursday was not as gen
eral as was expected. Unlooked for
difficulties were encountered in the
shape of water and accumulated gas
’ and dangerous roofs which threaten
ed to fall and entomb the miners were
also discovered in many of the collier
5 ies. The mine superintendents would
} take no chances and mining of coal
was put off until all parts of the un
derground workings can be made safe.
This will take a few days and in some
5 cases weeks.

■ the trolley accident which so nearly
cost President Roosevelt his life was

The commissioners find that the car

1 The grade crossing is declared one of
3 the worst of its kind.
T The report adds: “The motorman
