to place before the people an ideal
representation of the divinity most
honored in the districts in which the
coin was destined to circulate. The

KANSAS MINERS TROUBLES.
The Governor Warns the Sheriff Not 10
Permit Lawlessness.

IbEmlC AdWlobbubbbs
TOPEKA, July Ex-Governor Luel-
ling received a number of kilograms
from Weir City last night and this
morning secret meeting of state Off
GERS and other advisers of the governor
was held. This noon the following
message was sent the sheriff at Weir
City:
"Under no circumstances can the
state authorize or permit violence.
strikers must not trespass nor assault
United States deputy inarshals nor de-
stroy property. Read this to the
miners.
[Signedl L. l.. LBwELLING,
Governor"
Reporters were refused acct IS to the
governor and it was impossible to
gather the import of messages received
by that official from the seat of trouble.
However, it is generally understood
and not denied at the state house that
request for arms for strikers or
deputy sheriffs was made from Weir
City. Secretary Close said number
of letters were received this morning
from Cherokee county. that indicated
trouble was near at hand.

bring about a crisis in the strike al

nearly finished and the officers say
both the companies mines will be
operated before the end of the week,
"Some of the old men will be given q
chance to 90 to work again if they feel
so disposed. The men who have
given the most trouble will not be
taken back. The men in the stockaGes

threats of resistance by said sheriff

The approaching Dinner Hour

Is fraught with no pleasant anticipa-
tione for the unhappy mortal plagued
with dyspepsia. Appetite seldom,
discomfort after and before meals, al
ways is his portion. Heartburn and
fiatulence subsequent to eating, a
gnawing at the pit of the stomach be-
fore it, are only a few among the
wees arising from this truly impish
complaint. Sick headache, nervous
ness, constipation and biliousness are
its dlabolical offspring. Each and all
of them are annihilated by Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which tones the gas
trio organs and regulates the liver
and the bowels with certainty and
promptitude. Chills and fever, kid
ney trouble, rheumatism and neural
gia are also remedied by this medi-
cine of rare purity and comprehens-
i've uses. Invalids of all kinds are
greatly and swiftly benefited by it.
