V, S. Railway Strike Crisis Now at
Acute Stage.
NEW YORK, Feb, 17. -The crisis
in the controversy 'between the eastern
railroads and their 34,0110 firemen,
which last week narrowed down to
the method of arbitration to be em-
ployed to settle the differences, is ex-
pected to -day, when representatives of
both sides have agreed to meet Judge
Knapp, of the commerce court, and
ea. W. W. Hanger, acting commission-
er of labor, the federal mediators, in
m final effort to avert a strike. ,
We are waiting for Judge Knapp
and Mr. Hanger to announce that
they are unable, under the federal
_taws, to secure arbitration" President
NV. S. Carter, of the Brotherhood of
comotive Firemen and Engineers,
said last night "This means that
nothing will be done by no until to-
morrow."
Mr. Hanger met with the conference
tommittee of managers yesterday, but
declined last night to discuss the na-
bare of the conference. He said, that
to -day he would join Judge Knapp,
who is expected to return from Wash-
ington to -day, for further meetings
with both sides. Much significance
is attached to the hurried visit of
.11:LOge Knapp to Washington, and also
to the conference yesterday of Mr.
Hanger and the railroad managers,
•and another proposal as to the method
of arbitration is expected to be made
to the firemen to -day.
'Europe and Africa are the only
%continents which have more

gle, and particularly the proposal of

which rinn-emehatants are to be re-
moved with the creation of a neutral
zone ftp' the American embassy, de-
termined to reaffirm the non-interven-
tion attitude of lhe United States, but
keephig the army and
navy ready for instant action.
The reply to President Madero's re-
quest that intervention be delayed, as
finally framed, was in diplomatic
terms a reaffirmation of the attitudo
ref the U. S. as espressed to illexivo
in previous correspondence, indicating
a disposition not to interfere in Mexi-
can affairs, but reasserting a deter-
mination to keep U. S. forces in posi-
tions where they might speedily be

zens.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED SCOTT.
Amundsen When at Pole Was Going
To Leave Oil.
CHICAGO, Feb. 17. --Captain Roald
Ainunsden came near leaving ten gal-
lons of oil at the South Pole, it was
learned here Saturday. The fuel might
have saved the lives of Lieut. Scott
and his companions. Captain Amuns-
den spoke of the oil by chance.
"The day was bright and not very
cold," according to Captain Amuns-
den. "There was a gederal inspection
of the outfit before we started back,
and for some time I debated with my-
self whether or not to leave beb.ind
two five gallon cans of oil I did not
expect to need. In the end I did not
leave the oil."
Captain Amunsden said he had no
reason to suppose that the oil would
have been of any use to anyone at the
South 'Pole, but that he had not left
it was a melancholy reflection.

Edward O'Keefe, Robert Stevie and
William Wilkinson Lose Their Lives
in A Fire Which Broke Out In
the Kitchen of Matabanick Ho-
tel -Other Buildings Are Lost
-Very Little I nst.rance.
ELK LAKE, Ont., Feb. 17. -The
search among the rums of the Mate-
banick Hotel foe the bodies of the, two
men who !est their' lives in the fire
en Saturday morning, revealed aegrue-
sonic sight and the fact that another
man went to his death when the
floors of the budding crashed in. He
was William Wilkinson, a caretaken
who for te number of years hacl been
prospecting in the vicinity. The other
victims were Edward -O'Keefe and
Robert Stovey. Two other guests at
the hotel., Joseph Letcher of Gowgan-
da and, Edwezd McClellan of Elk
Lake; were badly burned abont the
head, arms amt logs in making their
escape. McClellan's feet also were
frozen and his condition is critical.
Robert Stovey bad evidently been
suffocated as he slept, as his body was
found lying ill the middle Of the bed
in the cellar. Edward O'Keefe, the
prospector, was burned beyond recog-
nition. All thee was left of his char-
red remains was gathered on a lin
O shovel. His . betty was fearfully
burned.
The fire started at three o'clock hi
the morning in the kitchen of the
Matabanick Hotel, and spread with
great rapidity before it was discovered.
Fanned by a high wind the flames
threatened to lick up everything built
of wood. The hotel was burneeto the.
groimd and. the flames 'swept to the
Hudson Bay Co.'s store, J. R. Booth's
office building, and the other build-
ings.
The loss will reach $100,000, ex-
clusive of merchandise stocks carried
whMh will ran into much money.
There was only $40,000 insurance
placed in the town, and. $10,000 of
this was on Ihe hotel.
The fire at Flk Lake City is a seri-
'bus setback, Icilowing right on the
heels of the great impetus the town
and district received through the
completion and opening to trafile of
the T. tt. N. 0. Railway, The best
part of the business section is wiped
out.
The T. it: N. 0. Railway station was
situated a quarter of a mile away
from the scene of the conflagration,
and was not totiched by the flames.
The principal hotel, the King George,
is safe, being separated from the blase
by a street onrhundred feet wide.
ACUTE PAINS
IN THE BACK
ellWeil y Lumbalo. a Form
of Muscular Rheumatism.
Lumbago is sudden in its attacks
and is so intensely painful that the
sufferer Is often linable to move:
even to turn in bed or rise from a
chair. The trouble chiefly occurs
among 'working men among whom
it numbers thoustirids of victims.
As the attacks come on (mite fre-
quently and are so torturing, this
disease means much loss of time
and money as Well as the endurance
of meth suffering. No victim needs
to he told that liniments, plasters
and outward treatment will not
cure the disease. This kind of
treatment is merely a waste of time
and money. The trouble is really a
species of muscular. rheumatism,
and is due to poor blood, and can
.only be cured through the blood.
It is for this reason that Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills are so successful
in curing this trouble, and those
who are afflicted by it should lose
no time in giving the Pills a trial.
If the treatment Is persisted in the
disease will be driven from the
system and the cure be made per-
manent. In substantiation Mrs,
Alfred Derby, Ettyville, Opt, says :
"A few years ago I was rittacltecl
by excruciating pains in the back
which the doctors called lurnbago
I was not able to do a bit of work
about the house, and suffered
dreadfully every time I moved
about I took the doctor's medicine,
alb winter, and used liniments,
without getting, any eelief. In a
thoroughly discouraged condition
I began using Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Alter using six boxes 'was
better and able to do all my own
work, and have not been afflicted
with the trouble since. I now al-
ways recommend Dr. 'Williams? Pink
Pills to those ailing."
These pills are sold by ale medi-
eine dealers or may be had by mail
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for

However Slight
MAY TURN INTO
BRONCHITIS.
You should never neglect a cold, how-
ever slight. If you do not treat it in time
it will, in all possibility, develop into
bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, or 130310
other serious throat or lung trouble.
On the first sign of a cold or cough it is
advisable to cure it at once, and not let
it run on for an indefinite period.
For this purpose there is nothing to
equal Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup,
a remedy that has been universally used
Lor the past twenty-five years.
You do not experiment when you get it.
Mrs. Louis Lalonde, Penetanguishene,
Ont., writes: -"When my little boy was
Iwo years old he caught a cold which
turned into bronchitis. I tried every-
thing to cure him, even to doctor's medi-
cine, but it did him no good. One day
I was advised to give Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup a trial, and before he had half
a bottle used, he was cured. I would ad-
vise all mothers to try it, as good resulto
will follow. My home is never without
it."
See that you get "Dr. Wood's," as
there' are numerous imitations. It is
put up in a yellow wrapper, 3 pine trees
the trade mark; the price, 25 and 50
cents. Manufactured only by The T.

MUMMIES SOLD.

Brings Poor Prices.
LONDON, Feb. 77.-A man who liv-
ed in Egypt six thousand years ago
was sold last week in London for $200.
This mummy of the pre-dynastie ;'r -
bed was part of the de Rustafjael Egyp-
tian collection, which was sold before
a gathering 'epresenting the leading
trraseums and collectors of the world.
This collection was considered *one
of the finest in existengey and there
was eager bidding ±01''some of elm
pieces, but on the whole prices realiz-
ed were not ,high. As mie dealer
expressed it, theee is at present "an
awful slump in mummies." Private
collectors bore away the choicest re-
lies, but several of the museums, in-
cluding the British Museum, enrioh-
ed their Egyptian rooms at the sale.
