w. L. Douglass. the best known shoe
manufacturer in the world. was born at Ply
mouth, Mass, Aug. 90, 1915. When he was
seven years old he was bound out to learn
the shoemaking trade. His early life was
hard one, but he did not complain. He had
an ambition to ba master of his trade; he
worked hard and learned all ne could. Hav-
ing saved little money by hard work at the
bench, he began to manufacture shoes at
Brockton, Mass, July 6, 1876. His knowl-
edge of the business gave him great adj
vantrge over his competitors. He worked
hard and saved money, his business began
to increase, and in May, 1885. his advertise
ment first appeared in the papers, adver-
Using w. L. Douglass So shoe. He has
since added several kinds, which he de-
scribes in his advertisement that appears
in this paper from time is time. It is a
fact known by those who wear his shoes,
that he gives more value for his money than
any other manufacturer in this country.
w. l.. Douglas factory is 426 feet long, 30
feet wide, 3 stories high; he employs 800
workmen, with psy roll Of $1,000 per
week. His sales are 1880 pairs per day; his
business is increasing very rapidly, and will
reach $1,O0o,0OO this year. He pays the
highest wages paid in the city, and is high
ly regarded by those who work for him. If
you are in want of n pair of shoes, it will
pay you to go to your dealer and examine a
pair before you buy any other make. There
is one thing certain. you will find his shoes
the best value for the price, and free from
shoddy. w. L. Douglas built up his repu-
tation by making honest shoes.

.NAsAL VOICES, CAraRRH AND
FAL.E TEE rH"

A prominent English women says the
American women all have high, shriil
nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal twaag,
and yet it is fact. caused by our dry,
stimulating atmosphere, and the uni
versal presence OF catarrhal difficulties.
But why should SO many of our wo-
men have false teeth?
That is more Of poser to ths Eng
lish. It is quite impossible to account
for it, except on the theory of deranged
stomach action. caused by imprudence
in eating, and by want of regular exer-
else.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and consumption,
which are promoted by mal-uutrition,
induced by deranged stomach action.
Tie condition is modern one, ono I'M
known to our ancestors who prevented
the catsrrh, cold, cough and consumr-
ton by abundant and regular use of
what is now known as Warmers Log
Cabin Cough and consumption remedy
and Log Cabin sarsaparills, two OLD
fashioned standard remedies handed
down from cur ancestors, and now ex-
clusively put forth unde. the strongest
guarantees Of purity and efIicscy by the
world-famed makers of Warmers safe
cure. These two remedies plentifuly
used as the fall and winter seasons ad-
vance, together with an occasional use of
Warmers Log Cabin rose cream, to
strengthen and protect the nasal mem
branes, give positive assurance of free
dom, both from catarrh and those dread
full, and If neglected, inevitable conse-
guencee, pneumonia, lung troubles and
consumption, which SO generally snd IA
tally prevail among our people.
Comrade Eli Fisher, of Salem, Henry
county, Iowa, served four years in the
late war, and contracted disease called
consumption by the doctors. He had
frequent hemsrrhages. After using
Warmers Log Cabin cough and con.
sumption remedy. he says, under date
of Jan. 10Th, 1888: II do not bleed at
the lungs any more; my cough does not
bother me-, and I do not have any more
smothering spells" Warmers Log
Cabin rose cream cured his wife of ca
tarrh and che il ':sound aud we'll"
OF course We do not like to have our
women called nose takers and false
teeth owners, but these conditions can be
readily overcome in the manner indi-
dated.

STRIKING MINERS.
Thomas Wardell, One of the Richest Mine
Owners in the West, Killed by strtk-
ing Miners at Bevier,
Missouri.
The Cause Of the Tragedy was on Account
Of Strike in Warde1l's Mines
More Trouble Feared
in the Future.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, October PA Time
special from Bevier, Mo-, says at q quarter
to this afternoon, Thomas WardeIl. very
wealthy land owner and coal operator, was
shot and instantly killed by number of
strikers. The occurrence took place on the
main street, Just opposite the depot. Mr..
Wardell had driven from Macon IN his
carriage, accompanied only by a colored
boy. He stopped his horses at the
going into the telegraph Office to send q
message. The depot platform was filed
with striking miners, and as he passed
through them going to his carriage they
ieered and taus.ed him. Turning he said:
"Boys, I'll beat you in the end. You can
boiler all you want"
The men then commenced throwing stones
At him and he was struck in the back by
one. Upon reaching his carriage Mr.. War
dell took from under the seat large revol-
yer and fred one shot in the direction of the
crowd but over their heads. In an instant
half dozen or more shots came from the
crowd. Mr.. Wardell dropped lifeless. The
first citizens who approached him were
waived away by the men, but the body was
at length taken to DR.. Watson's Office.
SnGrlH Draper was 1InWSO12tely Icle-
graphed for es Macon, but neither he nor
any Of his deputies was in town. Prescott
ing Attorney Mitchell and Coroner Dale
alone started for Bevier, however, ard upon
their arrival found everything quiet. The
coroner's inquest was begun this evening,
and the facts given above were substan-
tiated by eye witnesses. The immediate
cause of the riot was the strike in WardelPs
mines, which has been prevailing for some
time. Wardell was one of the richest mine
owners in the west.
FURTHER BLooDsEED FEARED.
ST. Louis, October pa special from
Macon, Mo-, says Thomas Wardell, a
wealthy ccal mine operator. was killed at
Beyier this evening by striking miners dur
ing riot. Nearly ali OF the mine ownels
have engaged new men, and these have been
coming in from abroad for several days
past. This action of the OPERATORS has
greatly incsnsed the strikers, who have been
very bitter in their expressions against
their former employers, especially Nardell.
Threats have been made by the strikers
against the new men, but there was no vio-
lent dem constructions until to- day. when some
of the scabs were set upon by some of the
strikers and a general battle followed. Dur
ing the riot Wgrdell was shot and killed.
There is intense excitement at Bevier, and
fears are Entertained of further bloodshed
The sheriff and posse have gone to Bowler.
