If it is possible that there can be a

Mr. Havemever might have bor-
rowed from the celebrated thought of
Mark Hanna: “We know our business.”
The total number of measures passed
by the General Assembly is 776,—229
public acts and 547 private or special
acts.
It’s apparently impossible to escape
from the reflection that this country is
irresistible. Even the cyclones carry
all before them.
A proposition to buy Ireland is not
fav0rably entertained in New York,
but Ireland is still interested in owning

Cleveland Strikers Spurn the
Ofl‘ers of Settlement.
ACTS OF VIOLENCE STILL CONTINUE
It Was Thought the Conference Be-
tween the Company and Former
Employees Would End Favora-
n ”LY—Rejection a Surprise.
CLEVELAND, June 23.-——The hope on
a settlement of the street railway strike
was shattered last night, when the strik-
ers at a meeting rejected by a unanimous
vote the proposition submitted by the
company to the special committee of the
city council and to which the strikers“
committee agreed yesterday afternoon.
The proposition of the company states
that it is ready and willing to takelback
into its employment, as it has ever been,
such of its employees as its business de-
mands, aggregating at the present time
80 per cent of such employees, and as va
cancies occur will give preference to such
former employees, excepting always those
that have committed unlawful acts
against theficompany, its property or emv
ployeesdn'r'gigxthe present Strike. '
It was generally believed, after the con
ference of the representatives of the com-
pany and the committee of the strikers
was concluded, that theendof the strike
would come today, and the action of the
strikers last night came as a surprise.
After rejecting the‘ proposition of the
company the strikers began the work of
drawing up a proposition of their own,
which “will be submitted to the council
committee today.
Pearl street from Lorain street south
to the Nickel Plate tracks was a wreck
when daylight dawned yesterday. Police-
men guardcd the Pearl street tracks until
midnight. There was no effort to do any
mischief until the last bluccoat disap-
peared. Then, from many quarters, came
small knots of men. There was no noise.
The men meant business. First, they
again pulled up the switches at Pearl
street and Clark avcnuc. These were car-
ried away and hidden. Then the crowd
walked down Pearl street to the Nickel
Plate crossing. On either side of the
Nickel I’late trucks were derailing
switches, and without loss of time these
switches were yanked up and yawning
holcs left in the street. ,
Then the crowd proceeded farther
north. From the \Valworthwrun bridge to
Monroe street the worst damage of all
was done. A section of rail was torn up,
twisted and thrown across the tracks.
Four trolley poles were uprooted, drag-
gim,y down with them a tangled mass of
trolley wires, feed wires and guy wires.
These wircs hungdown into the street.
Paving blocks, outposts and other ddbris
were piled up mountain high on the
tracks. It was a scene of wreck and ruin.
In South Brooklinc a crowd tore up the
tracks and trolley poles and cut the
wires. . . '
Another car was held up and stoned on
Cedar avenue, nea'r East ,Madison ave-
nue, at 2 p. m. yesterday. The car was
westbound and at that place was stopped
by obstructions on the track. '
As it came to a halt aficrowd of men
rushed out and began- stonin the car
“Conductor Charles Smith {to Chicago
was hit on the head and received a bad
scalp wound; He Vvas knocked tween?
scious. ' , p. ,1 .. ' .
In the car wcrctwofmen and two wo-
men passengers. One woman fainted,
and the other lay on the floor to escape
the stones. Another car came up, and
this received the same treatment.
Every window in both cars was broken.
The assailants left, and the trainmcn re-
moved the debris. The cars were then
run to the bums.

Floods Destroy a Town.
AUSTIN, June 23.—Thc old town of
,Currizo. county seat of Zapata county,
about midway between Laredo and Rio
Grandc City, on the Texas border, has
been swept away by the Rio Grande
flood. The town had a population of sev—
eral hundred Mexicans of the poorer
class. Their houses were adobc, which
quickly melted away when the high wa-
ter struck them. The courthouse, a
frame structure, was demolished in order
to save the timbers, as it was threatened
with destruction by the rising water. The
Rio Grandc is higher than has been
known for ~10 years, and it continues to
rise rapidly. At points below Carrizo it
threatens to change its course. transfer-
ring thousands of acres of Mexican terri-
tory to the United States and vice versa.

yesterday on his way to Las Vegas, N.

‘mas. A large crowd had assembled at
the station to welcome the governor, and
as he stepped off the train he was greet-
'ed with hearty cheering. The governor,
accompanied by a welcoming committee,
was escorted to the Auditorium hotel.
Governor Roosevelt, who is accompanied
by several members of his staff, left here
at 10 o’clock over the Santa Fe for Las
Vegas. .
Arms For the Boers.
BERLIN , June 23.—The Kolnische
Zeitung publishes a dispatch from The
Hague asserting that Dutch oflicial cir-
cles arc aware that the Transvaal gov-
ernment'is preparing to make a most
stubborn defense in the event of waf
with Great Britain and is arming in the
most complete fashion. According to this
informant, Pretoria has just ordered 25

guns for fort artillery from the Krupps.

BOSTON, June 23,—Ground is to be

vard university. This building, which is

ble through a gift of $50,000 from Mr.

The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, sufiering, and deaths than"
any other organs of the body. -
A majority of the ills afliicting peo-
fle to-day is traceable to kidney
trouble. It pervades all classes of so-
ciety, in all climates, regardless of age,
sex or condition.= . - .
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism,
neuralgia, sleeplessness; pain or dull
ache in the "back, a desire to urinate
often day or night, profuse or scanty
supply. -
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in
urine are signs of clogged kidneys,
causing poisoned and germ-filled blood.
Sometimes the heart acts badly, and
tube casts (wasting of the kidneys) are
found in the urine, which if neglected
will result in Bright’s Disease, ' the
most dangerous form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions
are promptly removed under the in-
fluence of Dr. K ilmer’s Swamp-Root.
It has a world wide reputation for its
wonderful cures of the moSt distress
ing eases. ‘ _
No one need be long without it as it
is so easy to get at any drug store, at
fifty cents or one dollar.
a sample bottle of this wonderful dis-
covery, Swamp-Root, and a book telling
all about it, both sent to you absolutely
free by mail. Send your address to Dr.

eral offer in THE NonALK GAZETTE.
