of the Chicago & Alton railroad, and which
are still pending. The members of the
executive committee, which met at Lorain,
where a strike Is In progress at the ship

Harrlman Tfot Informed.
NEW YORK. March 19 So far as could
be learned In this city tonight, no formal
demand has been made by the bollermak
era In the Chicago A Alton upon the exe
cutive officers of that road.
E. H. Harrlman was Informed tonight of
the reported action of the executive board
of the International Brotherhood of Boiler
Makers and Iron Shipbuilders at Cleveland
today, but said that he had before "heard
nothing about It."
A representative of other than the Har
rlman lines stated that he had understood
that there was a talk of request being made
by the bollermakera and Iron shipbuilders
of several lines for an advance In wages
and shorter hours, but so far as he knew
no formal demand had been made.
Trouble In Seattle.
SEATTLE, Wash., March 19. Last night
saw a lockout against union labor, when
twenty-five members of the Master Build
ers' association paid off their men. The
laborers thrown out of employment num
ber doee to 2. COO and construction work on
sixty buildings Is at a standstill. The con
stant annoyance of prtty demands by union
men Is given as the cause of the lockout.
The union will probably go half way in
a compromise with the master builders,
not wishing to see a suspension of building
operations.
Traction Strike at Butte.
BUTTE, Mont., March 19-The offices of
the street railway oonipajiy were deserted
tonight and a long and determined fight la
looked for between the management and
the members of the worklngmen's union,
the latter being responsible for the tie-up
of the road. All kinds of conveyances were
in use upon the streets today, and cab and
transfer companies and hack drivers did a
flourishing buslnees. For the benefit of
people living In WaJkervllle, Centervllle
and Meadervllle. stages were run at fre
quent intervals, and were well patronised.
Manager Wharton of the street railway
states that the tie-up . will continue until
the. striking employes are tired out and
conclude to go to work at the old scale of
(3 per day.
"There Is nothing to this talk of a strike
among Harrlman bollermakera. at least
on the Union Pacific," said a prominent
official of one of the shop unions. "For
certain reasons union bollermakera could
not strike on this road and there Is no
agitation of such a thing. Some days ago
bollermakera on the Southern Pacific had
a confeience with the company officials
over the abolition of the physical examina
tion requirement, but they settled ull their
differences amicably. No, everything Is
quiet and peaceable In the Union Pacific
shops."

wss resumed today before Referee Post.
Among the witnesses examined was Charles
Odwarker of Weeping Water, who Intro
duced the following communications re
ceived from Secretary Crltchfleld by the
members of the association. The first
shows what Is purported to be the "pound
pool" agreement. It Is as follows:
MEMORANDUM.
For the purpose of convenience the fol
lowing memorandum is sgreed upon:
he railroad weights of all material
received by each dealer on and after May
1, l'.tos, shail be the basis for settlement and
division of trade. (Except coal, brick, sand,
rock, wire fencing and paints.)
2 Freight bills showing the weights of
all local shipments shall be attached to
a written report, and for carload ship
ments the same shall he verified by giving
the date of arrival of the car. contents,
numlier of cur. weight, etc., and If for any
reason either dealer shall overlook or miss
giving account of a cor ot cars at any time
for settlement, the weight of such car -or
cars shall be doubled at time of next
settlement after the same has been dis
covered. 3 Each shall pav Into a common fund,
which shall be equally divided, share and
shnre alike to each dealer, on the total
amounts of weights of material received
during the previous month or since the last
settlement, as follows:
On all lumber, lath and shingles. 24 cents
per lio pounds.
On all lime, cement, plaster and posts,
12 cents per HO pounds.
On all sash, doors, moldings, mill work,
etc., $3 per lfln pounds.
4 No deductions to be made by either

agrees to take care of his share of the
bills which come in competition with out
side poachers, and which must be cut In
prices In order to protect the trade of
the territory.
5 Competitive bills or hills that are fig
ured at more than one yard shall be di
vided as nearly equal ns possible and as
nearlv In regular turn as Is practical,
taking all circumstances surrounding each
cuse Into consHeratlon.
6 The Intention and spirit of this ar
rangement Is to keep a friendly and prof
itable business at the place where It has
been verbally agreed upon, without taking
any undue advantage of the customer or
consuming public.
7 It Is agreed that each dealer will meet
at the office of on the first Monday
night of each month and make full settle
ment of all business done . the previous
month.

Accompanying the "pound pool plan''
was the following letter:
LINCOLN, Jan. 1, 1905. To the Mem
bers: With this Issue of the bulletin w
hnd you copy of the arrangement which
has been consummated between the South
ern Lumber Manufacturers' association
and the lumber secretaries' bureau of in
formation. Notwithstanding we have been unabls to
handle this plan of reciprocity tluougn
the medium of the National Manufactur
ers' association as contemplated, and ti.ua
take in all the manufacturers' associations
connected with that great body, It has
been thought advisable to put the plan
Into operation so far as the southern
Lumber Manufacturers' association Is con
cerned, and thereby give some object les
sons that will sooner or later be the
means of bringing them all Into line.
As the whole object of the action Is to
secure harmonious and ethical relations be
tween manufacturers, wholesalers and re
tailers, and the- settlement of disputed
questions In a manner equally Just to all
parties and as well to Insure the con
suming public greater freedom from prac
tices inimical to the general as well as
private interests, It Is manifestly the duty
and to the interest of all retail dealers
that they should have befor- them a re
liable list of such manufacturers and whole
salers as from their professed and openly
expressed friendship are entitled to and
should receive the favors of such retail
lumber dealers who Include southern lumber
In their trade. To this end I enclose you
list of the members of the Southern Lum
ber Manufacturers' assrclatlon. urging upon
our membership a carefui consideration of
the reciprocal duty which each owes to all
such manufacturers and wholesalers who
exercise due regard to the Interests of the
retail branch of the lumber trade, and es
pecially to those who by the recently con
summated arrangements now place them
selves In position to avail both you and
themselves of an ethical, businesslike
method of settling any dispute which may
ar(e In the course of business.

the ethical rights of the retailor
should be esteemed as unworthy of the
patronage of those -vho uphold the ethical
principles of association work.
In order that we us members of the Ne
braska Lumber Dealers' association may
be able to distinguish between our friends
and those who are Inimical to our Inter
ests, we have placed ihls list In the hands
of every member, and It Is strongly uraed
that every retailer adopt the motto,
"Friendship to tho Friendly." In placing
von- orders for stock of southern cln;

A copy of our bulletin ana memnersnip

reciprocate this courtesy.
Thoae Who Are Friendly,
The honorary membership of our associa
tion Includes the names of many manu
facturers who are not members of the
Southern Lumber Manufacturers' associa
tion, but who are consistent adherents of
ttie association principles. Many are In
eligible on account of their location In the
north and weat. The very fact that they
appear on our list as honorary members Is
an Indication that they are friendly to our
Interests and subject to our rules ot de
portment. Our members should not esteem the work
as thus happily Inaugurated to have reached
its highest state of perfection; It has but
made a commencement upon lines which
are believed to be consistent with the
maintenance of Justice, amity, good will
and the beat Interests of ail branches of
the trade. It will take time and experience
to work out all the details and develop Its
excellence. The Southern Manufacturer's
association Is rapidly adding new members,
and we have no doubt that Its advantages
will soon Induce a majority of the south
ern manufacturers to Join Its membership.
The northern manufacturers as Individual
almost unanimously accede to the prin
ciples asserted by the retail aaaoclatlons
and are working In practical harmony with
us. while from the opposition of a few,
declining as yet to take official action In
their associations, we are unable at this
time to give the matter the full scope at
which we aim. The attitude of Individuals
as firms in mis regard may always be
ascertained through correspondence with
your secretary.
It but remains for the members of this
association to act in such a manner tli.it
it will make the principle of reciprocity
something more than a -name In their deal
ings with the manufacturers of southern
pine lumber, and no leas with their friends
and producers of the northern pine prod
ucts. Keep the enclosed list of the member

Resolutions.
Pursuant to call, a meeting of the Joint
Trade Relntlons committee of the Southern
Manufacturers' association, and the lumber
secretaries' bureau of Information, was
held at the House of Hoo Hoo, Bt. Ixjuls,
Mo.. Wednesday, October 2. 27, 1! 4, at
which meeting the following were present:
N. W. MeLeod. J. A. Freeman and J. R.
White, representing the Southern Lumber
Manufacturers' association.
J. R. Moorehead, John W. Barry and E.
F. Hunter, representing the secretaries'

Mollis of the Bureau of Information, and
Secretary George K. Hmlth of the Southern
Lumber Manufacturers' association.
Arbitration Is Recommended.
After a general discussion of the methods
to be adopted to secure the best results
therefrom, the following resolutions on be
half of the two great Interests were unani
mously adopted:
Whereas, It has become evident that un
settled und disputed questions of trade
relations which are constantly arising be
tween the manufacturing and retail
branches of the Industry be settled amic
ably, promptly and with due regard for
all those most Immediately concerned, and
Whereas, Experience has demonstrated
that the moat satisfactory results have
always been attained through Joint con
ference and arbitration, and while general
declarations of trade customs may be made
and recognised in the trade they cannot
In the very nature of things cover all con
tingencies and many disputes must be set
tled, each upon Its own merits, and
Whereas, We, the representatives of the
Southern Lumber Manufacturers' associa
tion and the assoclatons of retailers com
posing the lumber secretaries' bureau of
Information, In meeting assembled, believe
that the entire lumber trade would cheer
fully recognize any declarations of trade
relations manifestly fair to both branches.
and would gludly welcome any equitable
method of promptly settling Individual dif
ferences which could not be anticipated
and covered by any general declarations,
be it therefore
Resolved, 1 That this Joint committee
declares that In Its Judgment the Interests
of the manufacturers and retailers here
represented are mutual.
2 It Is recommended that local questions
of dispute between dealers represented In
the lumber secretaries bureau of Infor
mation and the manufacturers represented
In the Southern Lumber Manufacturers'
association may be submitted to arbitration
by a committee to be composed of one
member of each association Interested, who
shall be appointed by the presidents of the
respective associations to which the parties
belong. A third member may in case ot
necessity be selected by those so appointed.
J When individual local classlficatjon Is
asked for, a committee to decide the sarv?
shall be appointed In the same manner as
above provided for the appointment of com
mittees for arbitration, Its decision to be
promulgated in the usual form, and be It

HEALTHY CHILDREN
Made so by the Right Kind of Food
A family doctor was shocked when he
found a mother had fed a three weeks
old baby on Grape-Nuts. But let h-T
tell It her own way:
"When my second baby was three
weeks old It became necessary to feed It
by means of a bottle. At first we used
cow s milk, but It did not agree with the
baby at all, although we tried a number
of different formulas.
"We afterwards went from one food to
another without finding any that would
agree. Th$ child was not only weak and
thin but wdUd cry pitifully almost th
whole day.
"One day when giving my eldest child
a dlah of Grape-Nuts I thought I would
see If the baby would take some.
I prepared It by pouring hot milk
over It and allowing It to cool. The child
ate all I had prepared and went to slcup
looking more satisfied than It had ever
done before.
"I told one physician about it and he
was horrified said a child so youn?
could 'digest only milk; that I must not
do It again.
"So back we went to the bottle. ?4nn.e
weeks the child would gain an ounce,
other weeks there would be no gain;
twice she lost weight.
"Finally, without letting anyone know
it, I began giving her a little Urape-Nuts
at bedtime. I noticed she would sleep
longer; then I added a breakfaat of
Grape-Nuts to her diet.
"It was not long before everyone re
marked how much better the baby was
getting. I know the Grape-Nuts wta
agreeing with her for she was steadily
increasing in weight and her color be
came better.
"Now she Is 16 months old, weigh
IT lbs., and still has two meals a day of
Grape-Nuts. My oldeat child, now five
yeara old, welgha 41 Iba. When a baoy
aha would not take any of the aoft cereals
but took to Grape-Nuts at once. I en

because It does them good, and bocausn

The sale of a square block of ground be
longing to the Hastings school district,
near the business section of the city, prom
ises to become an Issue In the forthcoming
spring campaign. The school board re
cently contracted for the sale of the ground
to two persons but injunction procodlngs
were started to prevent a consummation
of the deal. A movement is now under
way to have the school district convey the
property to the city to be maintained as a
park. As opinion Is divided as to what Is
best to do with the property the question
will be submitted to the voters. The square
block In question has for several years
been used as a base ball park. The school
board some months ago declined to allow
the further use of the property for that
purpose.

Women Who
It is AJtonisriinR how grpat a change
a few rears of married life often make
in the appearance and disposition of
many women. The freshness, the
charm, the brilliance vanish like the
bloom from a flower which is rudely
handled. The matron is only a dim
shadow, a faint echo of the charming
msklen. Few young women appreciate
the shock of the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understand
ing that this secret drain is robbing the
cheek of its freshness and the form of
its fairness.
As surely as the general health suffers
when there is derangement of the health
of the delicate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established in
health the face and form at once witness
to the fact in renewed comeliness.
More than a million women have found
health and happiness in the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes
weak women strong and sick women
well. Ingredients on label contains
no alcohol or harmful habit-forming
drugs. It is made wholly of those
native, American, medicinal roots most
highly recommended by leading med
ical authorities of all the several schools
of practice for the cure of woman's
peculiar ailment.
For nursing mothers, or for those
broken-down in health bv too frequent
bearing of children, also for the expect
ant mothers, to prepare the system for
the coming of baby and make its ad
vent easy and almost painless, there is
no medicine quite so good ns "Favorite
Prescription." It can do no harm in
any condition of the wstfm. It is a
most potent invigorating tonic and
strengthening nervine, nicely adapted
to woman's delicate syptem bv a phy
sician of large experience in the treat
ment of woman's peculiar ailments.
Bad Symptoms. The woman who
has periodical headaches, bnckache, sees
imaginary dark spots or specks floating
or dancing before her eyes, hits gnawing
distress or heavy full feeling in stomach,
faint spells, dragging-down feeling in
lower abdominal or pelvic region, easily
startled or excited, irregular or painful
periodH, with or without pelvic catarrh,
is suffering from weaknesses and de
rangements that should have early at
tention. Not all of above symptoms are
likely to be present in any case at one
time.
Neglected or badly treated and such
cases often run into maladies which de
mand the surgeon's knife if they do not
result fatnlly.
.No medicine extant, has such a lone
and numerous recora"of cures in sjcK
cnes as Dr. Pierce's r'avonTe Frescrn-
tin. No medicine has such a eTTong
professional indorsement of each of its
several ingredients worth more than
any number of ordinary non-profes-sional
testimonials. The very best in
gredients known to medical science for
tne cure 01 woman s peculiar anments
enter into its composition. No alcohol.

Sr. rierep's Favoffle Prescription Can
J only gooc! never harm. Its whole'.
etfecT is to strengthen, invigorate And
regulate the whole female system and
esoeciallv the pelvic organs. Whet
these are deranged in function or affect
ed by disease, the stomach and other
organs of digestion become sympathetic
callv deranged, the nerves are weak
ened, and a long list of bad.nnpleasanl
symptoms follow. Too much must not
be expected of the " Favorite Prescrip
tion." It will not perform miracles;
will not cure tumors no medicine will.
It K'iI often frreimt them, if taken in
time, and thus the operating table and
the surgeon's knife may be avoided.
Doctor's All Agree. The most emi
nent writers on Materia Medtca, whose
works are consulted os authorities by
physicians of all the different schools of
practice, extol, in the most positive
terms, the curative virtues of each and
every ingredient entering Into Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. la
fact it is the only medicine, put up for
sale through druggists for the cure of
all diseases of the mucous surfaces, as
nnsal catarrh, throat, laryngeal, and
bronchial affections attended bv linger
ing, or hang-on-cottghs that has any
such rofestional endorsement worth
more than any amount of lay or non
professional testimonials.
Do not expect too much from the us
of Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. It will not work miracles. It
will not cure consumption in its ad
vanced stages. No medicine will. Nor
is the n Discovery " so good for a sudden
attack of acute cougb, bot for th
lingering obstinate. nang-Qn-coughs,
Accompanying cSlarrhal, tfiroat, Iftryn
geal and bronchial aftectiotis. It is a
TTiosI eHigitciOiiB remedy In cases ac
companied wiUi wasling of flesh, night
sweats, weak stomach and poor digestion
with faulty assimilation, and which, if
neglected or badly treated are apt to
lead to consumption, the "Discovery"!
ha proven wonderfully successful in
effecting cures.
The formula is printed on every
wrapperof " Golden Medical Discovery
attested as to correctness under oath,
and you can't afford to accept any
substitute of MttAtiotrn roiojit(ion for
this fion-secre' remedy no matter what
selfish interests may prompt the dealer
to urge such upon "you. In fact it it
an insult to your intelligence for him to
do so. You know what you want and
it is his place to supply that want.
