With both roadi again In operation,

If true, what I've learned to-day from

and the merchants, heeolng the lessons
taught tliein by past experience, refuse
to fell except for cash, and this the
majority havo not cot. So what's to be
done? Go to work? Not they, as they
are evidently determined to ascertain
how much misery. self-Imposed, a man's
able to bear. And jet there Is certainly
suflicientcausH for a strike, but a strike
in a different direction an entire new
depiiture ; a striking out en ma?bR
from the poverty stricken coal Helds ot
Pennsylvania to the vast agricultural
regions of tho Great West. Nothing
else will do, and the sooner men will
act noon It the better. Why starve
"down In a coal mine," when oompara

In which the much tnlkud of labor prob

solved. The consumer of to-day must
necome tho producer of to-morrow. If
there Is to be overpiodiictltin, let it bu

all rather as a matter of course. That
the prisoner will have better luck In the
hands of a more intelligent Jury Is not

"Put on the whole armor of God,

preached last Sunday morning to a
large and attentive audience The evils
of the great adversaiy in his warfare
against Christianity were set forth nnd
tlie adaptability of each piece of tho
armor was explained : tho Helmet of
Salvation, as the covering for the intel
lect of man exposed to the many isms
by which men nro ensnared to the utter
ruin of their souls ; tho Breast-plato of
ltlghteousness, In order that we might
resist the evils and snares found lu our
every-d.ty path ot lire, and tlie feet
shod with tho preparation of the Gospel
of Peace, that we might flee from them;
and, nbove all, the shield ot Faith, be
ing clothed with every man, no matter
uuder what circumstances, could ex
claim for himself, "I know that my
Redeemer llveth." In conclusion, It
was his parting advleo to put on the
whole armor, an advice. If followed,
he said, by each, would bo sure to se
cure the conqueror's crown. Bev. Erd

Tho American People No peo
ple in the world suffer as much with
Dyspepsia ns Americans. Although
years of experience In medicine had
failed to accomplish a certain and suro
remedy for this disease and Its effects,
such as sour stomach, heart-burn, water
brash, sick headache, coatlveness, pal
pltation of the heart, liver complaint,
coming up of the food, low spirits, gen
eral debility, etc., yet since the Intro
duction of Greek's August Flowek
we believe there is no case of Dyspepsia
that cannot be immediately relieved.
30,000 dozen sold last year without one
case ot failure reported. Go to your
Druggist A. J. Durllug, and get a sam
ple bottle for 10 cents nnd try it. Two
doses will relieve joa. Kecular size
73 cents.
