WHAT CAN I EAT?
NOTHING AGREES WITH ME.
Do you ever say that—do you ever feel
that life isn’t worth living because you are
continually in pain, sick to your stomach
and can’t eat a single mouthful of any
substantial food?
After you do eat a little do you feel a
lump in your stomach? You know you
have dyspepsia and you feel that nothing
will cure you.
But there is a cure—a positive cure—a
quick cure. That cure is Dr. Spencer’S
English Dyspepsia Wafers.
After taking a few of Dr. Spencer’s Eng-
lish Dyspepsia Wafers you will be in a con-
dition to eat everything—you will be strong
and well again. No man or woman can
expect to be healthy without proper amount
of food every day and the proper digestion

Four New Members Received
Tuesday Night.
The grandest and most practical in-
stitution in the world is that of the
Union Printers’ Home at Colorado
Springs, Col., supported wholly by the
Union printers throughout the country,
The Home is an object of pride to
every one of the members of the Inter-
national Typographical Union who con-
tribute towards its maintainance, and
well they may feel proud of it. Men in
the walks of life and from all parts of
earth have gone to Colorado Springs,
visited the Home and now sonnds its
praise. Already one of the finest and
most complete institutions of its class in
the world, enlargement is being arrang-
ed for by the erection of an addition as
memorial to the late Congressman
Amos J. Cummings, who was well known
as “The Printers’ Friend.”
The idea of a home for disabled and
incapacitated union printers originated

whelming vote of 84 to 17. When the
bill was called up by its author, Mr.
Webb, an amendment was offered by Mr.
McKenzie, of Reeves county, striking
out the provision for an inspectior to
enforce the law. Our old time friend,
Chris Callan, of Bexar, effectively an-
swered the argument of Mr. Reeves and
on his motion the amendment was ta-
bled by aviva voce vote. Mr. Bennett
of Erath spoke previously in support of
the bill, saying that there were many
large mines in his district and that he
favored the law and urged its passage as
an evidence of the need of such a law,
he stated that the chief witness for the
mine owners against the bill before the
committee had lost his life by reason
of the absence of one of the safe guards
required by the pending bill. “If the
bill had been enforced,” said Mr. Ben-
nett, this man would be alive to-day.”
Following Mr. Bennett Representa-
tive Roger Byrne of Smithville, made a
forceful speech for the bill, saying
among other things that there were
many mines in his county and that he
was fair and just enough to recognize
the merit of this bill and urge its pas-
sage.
Hon. Sam Webb of Albany, Texas,
author of the bill, closed with an earnest
plea for the measure, which he said was
not only fair and just but was impera-
tively demanded for the life and health
of the 5000 men employed in the Texas
mines He referred to the many acci-
dents in the mines that have occurred
since the bill has beena pending, laying
sary for the House to elect a speaker
pro tem. This honor worthily fell

The Carpenters’ Union held their
regular meeting Tuesday night, and
while the attendance was not so large
there was more interest manifested
than for some time—there was lots of
business and.it was all attended to.
' At the meeting one member was re-
ceived by clearance card and three by
making the non-union man realize the
benefits of the union and we have his
application. It is getting so it is a
dull meeting when we don’t take in
new members.

It is only a question of great emphasis upon the accident to one
in each and steam conveyed under-
ground from the stam plant exhaust,
thus furnishing an equipment which is
' more complete than many of the best in-
stitutions for the treatment of tubercu-
lar diseases.
When a printer is disabled through
: age, accident or sickness, and has been
for five years a member of the union
and has sustained his dues and assess-
ments, he is eligible to make application
• for admission to the Home.
Since the opening of the Home in
May, 1892, there has been admitted 654
sick and disabled printers. Of this total
[ number 153 died. 367 have been dis-
charged, and there are now 134 in the
Home receiving care and support.
In the plans for the proposed Cum-
mings memorial addition a fine library
. hall is provided, as Mrs. Cummings has
spoken of her intention to donate the
library of the late congressman to the
Home. The cost of the new building
will be about $25,000. A special com-
mittee of eleven printers, selected from
different cities in the United States and
Canada by the annual convention in St.
Louis last August is now actively en-
gaged in obtaining the fund for the ad-
dition, the plans for which have been
approved. Nearly $8,000 have already
been collected. Micheal Colbert of Chi-
cago is chairman and H. E. Garman
of Denver secretary of this committee.
The officers of the Home are: Presi-
dent James Lynch, Secretary J. W.
Bramwood, L. C. Shepard, Thos. Mc-
Cefery, H. II. Rogers, W. J. White,
Thos. F, Crowley, Superintendent Chas.
Deacon.

“What a difference between the new
ball park and the one just aboned,” was
the expression of every one attending
a game this week. And so it is. When
Mr. Tanner, press representative with
the White Socks, took a seat in the
press box Saturday his first remark was
one of approval of the new park, dia-
mond, field and grandstand. He said
the Chicago teams had had quite
enough of New Orleans and other
“splendid” training places in the South
nnd that before they would consider
going to any other place, Manager
Johnson would have to put the price up
in 1857, but not until 1887, was there a
general awakening to the responsibili-
ties, the stimulus being a conditional
gift of $10,000 from George W. Childs
and nthony J. Drexel to the Interna-
tional Union. For five successive years
from the date of the gift each union
printer east of the Mississippi river con-
tributed the price of 1,000 ems of type
on Mr. Childs’ birthday, and the union
printers west of the Mississippi contrib-
uted a like amount on the birthday of
Mr. Drexel. In six years the amount
raised was $70,000. The building was
completed in 1892, and on the anniver-
sary of George W. Childs, May 12, 1892,
was dedicated.
The Home occupies a fine tract of
eighty acres, one mile east of and ad-
joining the city of Colorado Springs,
in the shadow of Pikes’ Peak. The
group of handsome buildings and well
kept surroundings are one of the attrac-
tions of that region. The Colorado site
was secured in, 1889.
That the local fans are satisfied with
the showing made by the new Sand-
crabs, there can be no doubt. When
Sportsman’s Park was opened to the
public Sunday a good sized crowd as-
sembled despite the rain and bad con-
ditions of the grounds. They were
there to get a line on the new Sandcrabs
and to see if they could make good in
the coming championship games of the
season 1905. That they were well satis-
fied there is no doubt. No one expect-
ed our team of a thousand dollar limit
to compete successfully with a team of
no limit and a national aggregation,
where salaries cut no ice so long as the
best men are to be had.
When little Johnnie Ruther faced the
big fellows from the windy city the crowd
expected them to swat the cover off the
sphere and send it over the fence in many
places, and they were agreeably disap-
pointed, for little John would not have
it that way. And so it has been going
all along the line of Galveston’s twirlers. ;

the luxuriance and brilliancy of color

In the treatment of tubercular disease,
advanced methods are used, and the
open air and rest treatment has been
found very beneficial. Tents of a spec-
ial improved pattern, with hard wood
floor, stationary clothes closets, wash-
stands and drawers, and a method of
ventilating through a wire netting
around the edge of the flooring and
ventilator at the apex of the roof, have
been thoroughly tested and found very
satisfactory. These are much in sde-
mand by the residents, ana six more
have been ordered, making ten tents in
all. A small steam coil will be placed

The Senate last Tuesday passed the
bill prohibiting the use of the seawall
and county right of-way for railroad or
street railways or any purpose except
as a walk, drive way or park. The
law makes it impossible for any future
commissioners court to grant any priv-
ileges for the use of the right of way.
the Houston secretary was straightened
ont and he was received. Bro. Trost
returns to us after an absence of several
months at Houston and other points.
We are glad to see h im return as he is a
regular attendant at the meetings and
a hard worker in the cause of unionism.
Bro. Chas. Schumacher, our delegate
to the State Carpenters’ Council held
at Waco, made his report. He gave a
full report of the entire meeting and it
proved quite interesting to the members
generally.
Financial Secretary Wm. Lawes filed
his bond and was installed and entered
upon the duties of his office,
Bro. J. A. Johnstone resigned as a
delegate to the Labor Council, giving
as his reason that he would be busy on
Council nights hereafter and would be
unable to attend the meetings. The res-
ignation was accepted and Bro. John
Butler was elected in his stead. Bro.
Butler was for a long time a delegate
from 526 and he will be at home in the
Council.
Members out of work should not fail
to register in tne book at the Journal
office. You might register and your
name stay on the book a week without
a call, and then again you might regis-
ter and receive a call before you reached
home. The idea is to have a place
where the public can call or ring up and
get carpanters.
One of tire members has volunteerd
his services to write something for the
Journal each week hereafter, one who
is more competent than myself, so I
will say, “look out boys,” and willingly
turn the duty over to him.

upon one of our staunch friends in the
House, Hon. Huling P. Robertson of
Bell county. Mr. Robertson is an old
member of the House and an able legis-
lator and the true consistent friend of
legislation for the benefit of the work-
ing people. We have indeed been for-
tunate in having for presiding officers
in the House, far and just men who
have recognized the fairness of our
cause. Speaking Seabery is a worthy
successor to ex-speaker Pat Neff in this
respect and has been uniformly just and
fare in his rulings. When the great
power of the speaker to direct and con-
trol legislation is recalled it is no wond-
er that the working people are gratified
at the selection for this high honor of
such men as Seabery and Robertson.
The hearing before the Railroad com-
mission on the application for a’ reduc-
tion of cotton rates has brought a large
crowd of interested persons to the Cap-
ital. Among the number are President
Murray, Business Agent Gramer, Gen-
eral Organizer Montgomery and Lewis
of the Farmers’ Union who are actively
contending for the reduction. The farm-
ers have been of great assisiance to the
Joint Board and this is the first public in
stance of reciprocal action by us.
It will be good news for the working
classes of this State to know that there
is a prospect of Hearst establishment a
daily newspaper in Texas and persistent
rumor is in circulation that a paper will
be started at Dallas at an early date.
Two of his representatives are now in
Texas on another mission and they have
been strongly urged to reccommend
such a move.
The Farmers’ Union representatives
here have been conducting a splendid
fight in favor of the pending bill increas-
ing the tax on railroads and other cor-
prorations and against an increase in the
advalorum rate. The strength ot their
numbers and the adroitness of their
campaign has worked a marked
change in the sentiment of many on
will be passed.

Later—The switchlight and derailing
bill occupied the attention of the Sen-
ate Wednesday and part of Thursday.
The opposition adopted every means
possible to defeat the measure and
succeeded in putting it off until Thurs-
day morning, but as it was pending
business Thursday there was no chance
to further extend the time for consider-
ntion. Various amendments were of-
fered each of which was voted down.
When the final attempt was made by a
call of the house, requiring 21 votes to
excuse absentees. After the roll call
there was 23 votes recorded in favor to
excuse. Mr. Davidson made an able ad-
dress in favor of the bill, as well as sever-
al other members of the Senate. The bill
was fathered by Marshal Hicks of San
Antonio and received his careful atten-
tion until finally passed to engrossment
by a vote of 25 to 2. This bill differs
slightly from the one passed two years
ago, leaving out the objectionable feat-
ures that caused Gov, Lanham to issue
his veto.—Editor.

The main building is a beautiful
structure of white lava stone with red
sandstone trimmings, 144 feet long and
44 feet wide, with a wing at the rear of
the north end by 40 feet, Tire building
contains seventy-five rooms.
Many of the rooms have been hand-
somely furnished as memorial rooms by
some of the larger unions, by the chap-
els of some of the larger newspapers,
bv Messrs Childs and Drexel, by Mrs.
J. A. Hayes in memory of Jefferson
Davis, her father, and by Mrs. Goddard,
in memory of her father, Henry Led-
yard. Everything is in good taste and
the dormitories and other bedrooms are
well and comfortably appointed.
The large number of consumptives re-
quired a separate building for their
proper care and treatment, and in 1898
a hospital annex was completed and
furnished at a total cost of $13,596.22.
A fine laundry and heating plant was
also completed in 1900, at a cost of
$12,500.
An attractive and homelike cottage
has been built for the use of the super-
intendent and his family. It was com-
pleted in 1900 and cost with its furnish-
ings $3,400.
Additional buildings have been au-
thorized from time to time in the na-
ture of barns, stables, cattle sheds,
chicken houses, etc. These are well de-
signed and compare favorably with the
best modern farm buildings.
Excepting the original $10,000 dona-
ted in 1886 by Childs and Drexel, and
eighty acres of barren ground donated
by the Colorado Springs Board of
Trade in 1889, every dollar spent in
erecting and maintaining this institution
the laboring men whom he believed in a
short time would rule this country wise-
ly and well. All the speakers received
general support and when the roll had
been called it was found that the bill
had passed by the very gratifying vote
of 84 to 17.
No time was lost in getting the bill
to the Senate and thanks to the energet-
ic work of Chief Clerk Barker and Read-
ing Clerk Mark Logan within an hour
after the bill was in the hands of the
Senate Clerk.
In the absence of Senator Decker who
is chairman of the Senate committee
on mining Senator Griggs who is second
on the committee set a hearing for Fri-
day of this week at which time argu-
ment for and against the bill will.be
heard.
The Switchlight Bill is up for final
passage in the Senate this afternoon and
I hope to be able to report in a postscript
of this letter that it has gone to the
governor for his signature.
