I had a long spell of sickness caused by trouble with my liver, which the doctor said was fast wasting away. In fact he stated that I had only a short time to live. "With great effort I over came my sickness but in very feeble health my pulse was irregular and frequently My Heart Ceased Beating for a second or two. I could hardly get around the room, I was so weak, and I lacked any appetite. Finally I concluded to try Hood's Sarsaparilla and I got one bottle.

The effect of the 'S Sarsaparilla CURES Bedlclne was so beneficial that I got five more. After I had taken the Sarsaparilla I felt much better and my whole system was strengthened.

Common wealers Given Pointers by District Commissioners. THEY HAVE ISSUED A PROCLAMATION. It Is Said to Embody the Ideas of President Cleveland, and Appeals to the Coxeyites to Give Up Tbelr Pilar 1 tK. AUTHORITIES TAKE ACTION. Washington.

April 24. The commis sioners of the District of Columbia took action Monday on the impending Coxey invasion. After a long executive session and consultation with the attorney of the district a manifesto was prepared and given out which calls attention to the fact that the right of petition does not extend to the lengths the Coxeyites appear to imagine. Those who meditate coming to the capital are warned that only hardships and privation await them here, and are informed that no good can come of their proposed pilgrimage. The president himself has taken no official action, because he is not called on to do bo, but the proclamation of the district commissioners embodies the views of the chief executive of the nation.

According to the reports received the commonweal army is not made up of many dangerous or reckless characters. But it is known that their gathering might be used as the pretext for the coming of others with no well denned purpose, except to give play to their destructive instincts. President Cleveland has discussed the matter freely with the menbers of the cabinet and with leading congressmen. He has expressed the regret he felt lest the foolish pilgrimage of Coxey's band to Washington might lead others to believe that this was the way to secure legislation. The president had looked on the movement as a harmless one in its beginning, but he has felt, as have the local authorities, that if it were a genuine movement of men seeking work it was strange that they should come to Washington; and he has feared the distress would be great if several thousand men were gathered here, where there is no possible avenue of employment open.

At the same time the president has been desirous of avoiding anything that would seem likely to cause irritation or to interfere with the rights of citizens to petition congress for whatever objects they please. To Quiet Wild Reports. So the Washington authorities have defined their attitude towards CoxeyV band. It is the attitude of the national capital because the district commissioners, and not the president, constitute the municipal power in the District of Columbia. The president has no intention, under present circumstances, of issuing a proclamation.

The emergency is met by the proclamation issued by the district commissioners. President Cleveland knew of its purport, because he had been in consultation with the commissioners and with the chief of police. It meets his approval and is to that extent an indication of the views of the president as to the manner in which the commonweal army should be treated. Its issue is timely because the "usual wild reports have been set afloat that the president has already called out the regular troops. The basis for this rumor was that the companies of Fort Myer had gone down to Virginia for their regular drilL Proclamation In Fall.

Following is the full text of the commissioners' proclamation: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: "Whereas, It is reported that several organ ized bodies of men are approaching the District of Columbia with the a owed purpose of securing such congressional action as will relieve the condition of unemployed laborers throughout the country; and, "Whereas, All unemployed men and others throughout the country who may be In sympathy with the movement have been Invited to assemble in front of the national capitol on the 1st day of May proximo for the purpose of compelling favorable action by congress by mere force of numbers and physcal presence; and, "Whereas, The constitutional right of petition does not Justify methods dangerous to peace and good order, which threaten the quiet or the national capital, which are contrary to law and opposed to the ordinary means ot ob ta nlng legislative relief under our system of government; and, 'Whereas, It Is declared to be the Intention of this body of unemployed and destitute people not only to gather together tor the purpose aforesaid at the city of Washington, but there to remain until their mission shall have been accomplished; and. Urge Them to Torn Back. "Whereas, The national capitol is chiefly devoted to publio business and is the center of federal legislation, and, as a result of Its lack of oralnary means of affording employment, la now taxed to Its utmost capacity In oharlv able efforts to care for its own poor and unemployed, now, therefore, the commissioners of the District of Oolumbla, who are charged with the duty of maintaining peace and good order, and with enforcing the laws of said district, being sensible of the gravity of the situation, and fully appreciating the hardship which must come upon many Innocent but misguided people It this Ill considered movement should be continued, do hereby appeal, in the Interest of humanity and in furtherance of the peace and good order which are enjoined by the laws in foroa in said district, to the good sense and patriotism of all those engaged In or who contemplate taking any part in the proposed demonstration, and urge them to reconsider their intention to come Into the District of Columbia for that purpose. No Good Can Come of It, "No possible good can eome of such a gathering, and with no proper preparations or means of subsistence suffering and ultimate disorder will certainly ensue. No wrong ean be righted, no condition of labor ameliorated, no remedy for any existing evil realised by the contemplated demonstration ot physical force.

Every desirable end can be more certainly and effectively accomplished by ordinary and lawful methods. The commissioners, while in entire sympathy with all people oat of employment, and having no desire or purpose to deal harshly with unfortunate but honest men who seek relief by reasonable and lawful means, are In duty bound to give notios to those who are tempted under any pretext to swell the number of unemployed persons aleady here that there Is neither work for them nor means for their maintenance In the district, that the law does not permit the soliciting of alms la our streets and forbids parades, assemblages or orations tn the capitol grounds, and. the obstruction of any publio grounds, streets, highways or avenues aad the approaches to public or private buildings, The oommlMloaan irivs aetts 1m ta tta "7 criminals and evildoers who, under cover of a crowd of unemploped men in our streets, msy come for the purposes of crime and disorder, that all such will be apprehended and summarily dealt with. "And finally they give notice to all who come here against their advice and protest that the laws in force in the District of Columbia are adequate tor every emergenoy and will be rigidly enforced, "JOHH W. ROSS, "GlOKOI TBUK8DSXX I "Charlks P.

Powell. "Commssloners of the District of Columbia" Coxey Will March On. New York, April 24. Gen. Coxey was angry when he heard of the proclamation of the District of Columbia commissioners issued as the embodiment of President Cleveland's views.

"No, no! I shall not heed it!" he exclaimed when asked what he would do. Continuing, he said that the Washington police would not dare to arrest him and his followers. The proclamation would not cause hira to desist from encouraging other industrial armies from storming the capital; on the contrary, he should redouble his efforts to bring every unemployed man, woman and child to Washington. He was not afraid of Cleveland, nor would the fear of possible bloodshed deter him. He concluded: "I do not court a lesort to arms, but we will demand our rights, even if it takes physical strength to prevail.

I shall not commit myself to that, but will repeat my declaration to bring congress to terms by besieging Washington until Justice is done." JESSE SELIGMAN DEAD. New York and London Banker Passes Away 1b California. Hotel Del Cobokado, CaL, April 24. Jesse Seligman, of the firm of J. and S.

The young general promptly rose to the occasion, and a colonel was stripped of his rank and a company of fifty men dismissed from the service. The first trouble arose during the night when Col. Baker issued orders contrary to Kelly's, who had instructed that no men be allowed to leave the camp. Baker told the men that they could leave camp if they wished. A court martial was called, the officers declared unanimously against Baker and he was promptly expelled, much to the satisfaction of the men.

During breakfast a more serious trouble occurred. A man in company of Sacramento, quarreled with a comrade and drew a knife. His opponent promptly seized a club and, with a friend, began an energetic belaboring of the belligerent Kelly appeared and ordered the three men transferred to another company. To this company objected, and when the general ordered them into the ranks they refused to go. "Company is disbanded," shouted Kelly.

Loud denunciations of Kelly were heard, some of the men openly accusing their commander of appropriating funds donated to the army to his own use. CoL Spead, in whose regiment company belonged, made an appeal to the men, but Kelly waa obdttrate. The men were ordered to give op their baggage and leave. When the little scene waa over, CoL Spead. who is extremely popular with, the Sacramento division, began an address.

After a brief consultation the men declared their willingness to go and gave three rousing cheers for Spead, marched up the bluff past the army, down, up along the wagon road and started up the St Paul railroad tracks for Avoca, where the army was to spend the nlghV Rode in Wagons. Avoca, April 24. Long before the breakfast bells rang in Neola the rattle of empty box wagons filled the quiet little city with an unusual bustle. They were the wagons which the farmers were bringing in to carry Kelly's army to Avoca. Scarcely one came without food, clothing or blankets for Kelly's men and the commissary department was obliged to ask for ten more provision wagons, making twenty two in alL The wagons lined up alongside the Bock Island tracks on the road to Avoca and at 8:80 o'clock the bugle sounded "forward" and seventy five wagon loads of common wealers began a 20 mile advance to Washington.

Iowa Farmers Enthusiastic The enthusiasm of the farmers of Pottawattamie county increased as the army advanced. They leave the plow in the furrow and the harrow in the field during the best weather for spring work, and send the horses to help Kelly. Some of them drove all night to be in Neola on time and twenty five wagons met the procession on its eastward way to carry the footsore men over the hills to Avoca. From Neola to Avoca, 20 miles of road, but six farmers were seen working in the fields, and four of them said they had sent wagons. At Shelby the residents furnished a lunch for the army.

It was here that Company rejoined and was given a noisy welcome. When the advance was resumed Company was told to take wagons, but the men refused and tramped the entire distance, marching into the rendezvous west of Avoca singh lng "John Brown's Body." Arrival at Avoea. The army reassembled in a large field est of Avoca and marched into the city four abreast with Kelly bareheaded on his prancing horse. He was not greeted by school children and brass bands, bnt when the army reached the camp on the banks of the Nishna botna river they found a dozen wagons of provisions waiting for them with the compliments of the citizens of Avoca. Ta Programme.

To day the army will be taken in wagons to Atlantic, 19 miles east of Avoca. It Is probable that Atlantic citizens will invite Kelly to remain two days in Atlantic to rest his men and give them a chance to repair damages. The next stop Will be Adair and then Stuart The committee of the Woodmen of America is a day ahead of the arranging for teams and provisions. President Aylesworth, of Drake uni versity at Des Moines, drove out to meet Kelly Monday afternoon and told him that Des Moines 'would' lodge and feed the army and give it provisions when it left 4 Objeet of Kelly's sWsaeaw Gen Kelly on Monday, for. the first time, told definitely what he would do When he reached Washington.

He first disclaimed having any connection with Coxey or Prya, He said he bad never received a letter or telegram from Coxey, and only knew' of his move ments and plana through the newspapers. Kelly said: If ve are denied admission to Washington I will form a company on the outskirts of the city and with four ot my men will hunt up Congressman Pence, of Colorado: Senator Allen, of Nebraska; Congressman McOulre, of California, and perhaps Senator PeSer, of Kansas, and lay our petition In their hands A firm; of lawyers of Washington is now drafting that petition nnder the supervision of a frienly congressman "In substance the petition will ask congress to authorize the commission on arid lands, already established by congress, to put the unemployed men at work digging Irrigating canals through the arid lands of the western states. There are millions of acres of these lands ready to bear large har vests when Irrigated. Millions of acres. have been irrigated by private companies and are among the most fertile sections of the country.

We do not ask congress to Issue special funds or bonds for the purpose, but simply point out what can be done for our unemployed. We leave the financial end of the idea to congress. "Now, in two or three years, those arid lands will be In shape for farmers, and our petition will suggest provision by which the men who dug the canals can take up the lands under a special homestead aet sad settle on them as farmers Nearing the Capital. BooKSBOBO, ML. April 24.

Coxey's army, under command of Lieut Browne, reached this place Monday afternoon and encamped for the night The army was met here by CoL A. E. Redstone, who haa been in Washington looking after the interests of the commonweal. CoL Bedstone says that when the main army, reinforced by the various branches now on the way reaches the city limit of the capital it will be met and escorted down Pennsylvania avenue by 15,000 men, 600 prominent ladies, the local typographical unions, the entire force of the Grand Army of the Republic in the city, besides a large number of wheelmen. He wouldn't be surprised to see the arm.f welcomed by a large number of senators and representatives.

On reaching the capital, the colonel says, Browne will positively speak on the steps. Brown Afraid of the Cmralry. Browne ia much disturbed over a rumor current here that a detachment of cavalry has been sent out by the war department from Washington with instructions to march to Frederick and watch, the commonweal until it is safely camped at Chevy Chase. Iron older to Uo to the Capital. Chicago, April 24.

The ironmoldera have decided that they will go to Washington, independent of the main body of common wealers. They claim that they will have 20,000 men in their ranks. They say they are confident of reaching Washington by May 2. They have received, they say, from towns along their proposed line of march promises of assistance in the way of food, shelter, transportation and recruits. The western contingent will be met at Baltimore by marchers from the east Kelly's army will receive in the neighborhood of 300 ieroiita ahre Barrort froaa Cbleag o.

7 Uen. Kelly and his western cohorts will be received by the armed police of this city in case they conclude to march this way. The council so ordered Monday night and gave Chief of Police Brennan instructions that do not read two ways He must prevent the admission of the marchers within the corporate limits, simply because the aldermen believe that public saf ty demands it The resolution adopted by the aldermen cites the municipality's inability to provide for its own unemployed and sees nothing but trouble resulting from the importations of the idle from other cities. It directs positive and firm action with an appeal tc the railroads to cooperate. Mow It Appears Abroad.

Loitdos, April 24. The Chronicle contains an article on the American "industrial" armies which are now marching to Washington. It says that the American people are coming face to face with the Nemesis attendant upon their easygoing lassitude, which has handed over the world's greatest republic to the tender mercies of unscrupulous politicians and syndicates of millionaires. It adds: "Coxey will fizzle out but unless we are mistaken a conflict is preparing that will be almost as serious as that which arose oVter slavery." The Daily News says the danger lies in the Important characteristic of the American treatment of every social disorder. The paper adds that if it comes to a conflict with the militia the Coxeyites will probably be mowed down by the hundreds.

There is no danger whatever to the government, but there is a grave risk of bloodshed. The whole movement according to the Daily News, looks like a last desperate device of the protectionists. READY TO ARBITRATE. Fair Prospect for Settlement of the Great Northern Strike. St.

Nelson wrote President Hill, of the Great Northern company, and President Debs, of the American Railway union, Monday morning asking if the whole matter could not be submitted to arbitration. Mr.

The great miners' strike continues to grow. Tele, grams poured into the national headquarters of the United Mine Workers in this city Monday indicating many additions to the ranks of the strikers and giving assurance that those already out would stand by the order for a general suspension. Wbere the Strikers Are. President McBride's estimate of the number of strikers in detail is as follows: Alabama 8,000 Indian t.000 Tennessee and I Illinois Kentucky 6. 000j Missouri 1.300 West .000, Pennsylvania 90,000 Indiana 5.000! Michigan 300 Ohio 2S.0JO Iowa 13,000 Total 140.XOO It will be noted that 1,000 haa been taken off Sunday's estimate of the number of men out in Indiana.

There was an error in the figures. The total number of miners in Indiana is about 7,500, of which only about 5,000 are in the bituminous district The block coal miners are relied upon to strike May 1, which will bring out every man in that state. A telegram from Maryland states that a mass meeting of the miners of that state will be held Thursday to vote on the question of a general suspension. In Illinois. At many places where there was no indication of a strike Saturday the miners refused to go to work when the whistles blew Monday morning.

This is true psrticularly in Illinois President McBride received a telegram from P. H. Penna, national vice president, and John Faby. members of the national executive board at Murphysboro, 11L, stating that 2.600 miners there and at Duqueane had voted not to return to work. This has been regarded as the key to the situation in southern Illinois, as it is one of the largest coal producing centers, and further accessions to the strikers are expected as a result of the suspension.

President McBride's estimate of the total number of men on strike in Illinois is 27,600. This, it is predictid, will be increased to fully 30,000 in a few days. Forced to Stay Oat. Chicago, April 24. Fifteen hundred miners from neighboring towns marched to La Salle, UL, and prevented the local men from entering the pits, Severslwere badly injured.

Southern Iowa Miners All Oat. The miners' leaders in Iowa telegraphed President McBride that the miners in the southern part of that State are all out but that a general suspension will not occur until after May 2, when a state convention is to be held art Albia. In Pennsylvania. The situation in Pennsylvania remains practically unchanged. Efforts are being made to induce the miners at Turtle Creek pass, who are the only ones working, to strike.

Information was sent out from Irwin Station, to the effect that there was some doubt about the miners there refusing to quit work. A telegram from Cameron states that the miners there have reaffirmed to a man their decision to suspend work. A telegram from Indian territory states that every miner in that district is out Accessions to the ranks of the strikers are also reported from the Kanawha river district of West Virginia. As stated the miners in the Laurel and Pittsburgh regions of Kentucky, and Jellico and Newcdmbe regions of Tennessee, to the number of 4,000, are idle, A telegram was also received from the Big Sandy district in eastern Kentucky that the miners there had refused to go to work Monday morning, swelling the total number of strikers in the two states to 5,000. In Ohio.

Reports from all parts of Ohio indi cate that the strikers are quiet and peaceable. The Monday mine, near Nelson ville, was fired Monday morning at the mouth of the shaft and there is a suspicion that it was done by an incendiary, although there is no direct evidence on this point The mine was formerly owned by Somers of Columbus, and they, with a railroad company, still control the property. About a year ago Somers Co. leased the property to a cooperative company of miners. It has been nearly worked out and was no longer profitable to them.

A report was started Saturday that the cooperative miners would continue to work the mine and some little indignation was created among the strikers. There is suspicion that' this report, may have led to the firing of the mine. The fire ia beyond centroL Advices from Nelson ville indicate that the miners there are but that the firing of the mine has caused considerable excitement, as the Bruskfork mines adjoining, which are among the largest in the Hocking valley, are threatened. Death List In GrtMO Is Growing. Athess, April 24.
