Anthracite Mines Flooded.

The anthracite coal trade, like the
bituninous trade. is at standstill
though from vastly different causes.
The floods throughout the anthracite
region in Pennsylvania have flooded
many of the mines, forcing suspen-
sion of work until the flooded mines
can be relieved of the surplus of water
The result of the enforced stoppage,
together with the curtGiled production
of the anthracite mining companies for
several months past, has produced a
scarcity of hard coal. Especially is this
the case with the Reading company,
which has been compelled within the
past few days to decline orders.

Two battles In Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City, O. T.: The city Of
Enid recently retaliated for alleged
discrimination on the part of the Rock
Island road by prohibiting trains from
running more than six miles an hour
in the city limits. a freight train
running 30 miles an hour broke in two
and was forced to stop. Officers boarded
the train 20 arrest the train men. The
latter defended themselves with coup
ling pins and drove the officers OFF
Several Of the latter were hurt, and
two have since died.
El Reno, o. T.: A posse attempted
20 capture two supposed train robbers
at Yukon. A battle cnsucd, in which
citizens named Parish, Nelson and Sny-
der were shot. Nelson will probably
recover, but the others win die. One
of the robbers was shot off his horse
and captured after n terrible fight.
The other, although wounded, man
aged TO escape. They are supposed TO
belong to the Patton gang.

REMEDY FOR ALL FORMS or
KIDNEY DISEASES.
Diabetes, BrIght's Disease, and Other
Terrible Ailments No Longer FormId-
ablo-Remsdy Soon to he within
the Reach of All.

Medical research has lately been re-
warded by the discovery that impaired
kidneys cause many diseases never be-
fore ascribed to them. Rheumatism,
dropsy, heart disease, paralysis and
backache are samples of disorders due
to diseased kidneys Following this,
came the discovery of remedy that
would SO act on the kidneys as to cure
all these diseases 1t does not stop
there, either 1t cures every form of
kidney disease, including Bright's
disease and dia betes, which were, up
to the time Of its discovery, considered
incurable.
This valuable remedy was brought to
light in the neighboring Dominion of
CanaCa about two years ago. 1t haf
since been used throughout the whole
length and breadth of that vast
country. Physicians have prescribed
it. Some of them have used it, and
one it cured of diabetes after six ply
sicians, in consul tation, had decided
he must die within few hours
Thousands of people have testified
that they owe their restored health,
and many, their lives, to it's use
Druggists and dealers in medicine, all
over the country, say that they never
sold remedy that gave such universal
satisfaction. The reason is that it
never failed to cure any case of dis
eased kidneys or any disease due to
disordered kidneys 1t is the most
popular remedy in Canada to-day,
simply because of its sterling worth.
It's name is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The fame of this remedy has already
reached the United States Many on
this side have obtained the pills from
Canadian dealers, and have been cured
of their disorders by using them. To
obtain them from Canada entailed
customs duties and delays, as well as
heavy additional expense. TO ena bic
the people in this country to btain
the remedy without this extra expense
and trouble, the proprietors of Dodd's
Kidney Pills have established branch
Office and factory at Buffalo, n. Y.
! 1t will be but few days before every
druggist in the United States will
have the pills for sale, and everybody
will have this great remedy within
easy reach. Buyers, though, should
be careful to sec that they get the
genuine Dodd's Kidney Pills There
are unfortunately some limitations on
! the market.
Any one who can not procure these
pills from his local druggist may OBJ
tain thea by writing, The Dodds
Medicine Co., Ltd, Buffalo, n. Y, or
Toronto, Canada. Sent postpaid on
receipt of price; so cents per box,

Men Knied-Cars burned.

An express on the B. & o. near
Mycrsdale, Pa, being half an hour
late, was making up time; as it rounded
a sharp curve il dashed against a so
ton mass of rock which had been
loosened from above the track by
heavy rains. The engine and tender
and three baggage cars were demol-
ishcd. The engineer, William Nichol-
son, of Glenwood, Pa, was so badly
crushed and burned that all of his re-
mains TO be found were gathered up
in a bucket. William Ii. Reinhart,
fireman, OF Gleuwood, was burned and
scalded to death. o., Il. Stahl, express
messenger. of Baltimore, was badly
scalded and sustained severe internal
injuries He win probably die. For
tunately no passengers were killed,
although some were brui sed. The cars
were fred and entirely consumed.
About $50 feet of track were torn up.

FOUR STRIKERS KILLED.
Moro Bloodshed In the Pennsylvania
Coke Regions

Coke Regions
The determined strike Of the coke
workers of Pennsylvania has again
been the cause of bloodshed. The
Washington Coke company at Sickle
Hollow, on the Monongahcla river,
secured enough men to start their
plant, and had been running several
days when about 1000 strikers. with
flags and bands, and most all armed.
marched to the works and camped
over night. 1T early dawn they ac-
costcd the workers going to the pit
and a number were about 60 comply
with the appeals when force of depu-
ties armed with Winchesters made
rush for the men. In this part of the
performance "a deputy sheriff fired
shot, which opened up the battle.
There was volley after volley fired by
each side at close range. The strikers
stood their ground while their COM
rades were falling one by one, but
their ammunition giving out. and it
requiring too much time to reload the
shotguns and rifles, they were forced
to give up the fight and fee to escape
the rain of bullets from the fifty VIM
chesters. The wounded men, who fell
under the first volley from the depu-
ties, were taken off the field by the re-
treating strikers. Four dead strikers
were left on the field. One deputy
was fatally wounded. From all reports
it seems that the assault by the depu-
ties was entirely unprovoked, but they
had been instructed by the company
TO shoot TO kill.
SiXty-six strikers were placed under
arrest and put in box cars, which
were closely nailed up, and kept there
until evening, when they were brought
to the Jail in charge of deputies. The
men arrested are nearly all native-born
citizens, intelligent looking, and sew
eral of them are known TO be men of
influence and good reputation in the
district. The situation at the mines is
alarming and more serious trouble is
expected.

Huge Trea Jury Deficit.

Washington: The present depleted
condition of the treasury and the dis
couraging outlook for the future are a
source of considerable anxiety TO the
officials of the treasury department.
Already the gold reserve, which had
been brought up by the last bond issue
to Sl07, 800, SD. has been reduced by ex-
portations since March 10 To less than
$50, 900, 900, with no indications that
the foreign demand will cease until it
has reached n much lower point. With
the exception of the gold reserve, and
counting every available dollar in the
vaults in the treasury, the government
has less than $50, 900. 900 with which TO
meet its obligations. Nor does the
future show any signs of encourage
ment. On. the contrary, the probable
deficit of $4,000, 900 for the month of
May is likely to be increased by S15,-
OOo,o during the two succeeding
months. The closest calculation that
can now be made shows that the deficit
for the fiscal year ending June 30 will
be approximately S74, 500, 900.

Lasalle, III: A mob of 900 coal
strikers, none of them English speak

County Carbon Co. here. Sheriff Tay-
Tor warned them that they must keep
back, but the mob with wild shout
rushed forward, throwing volley of
bricks and stones at the deputies
Sheriff Taylor was knocked down and
badly beaten and kicked. Two depu-
ties were wounded by bullets and one
may result fatally Three strikers
were arrested, but one of them was
released on the men threatening To

First street with the rescued man
ahead, and. amid cries of "Vive lamar
chic and similar expressions, deride
the respectable citizens and shouted
defiance to the officers.
Centralia. Ill: About 500 striking
miners from Dequoin and the St.
Johns mine arrived here and proceeded
to the Big Fonr mine in the northern
limits of the city. They demolished
considerable machinery and filed the
shaft with about fifteen feet of debris.
Every glass and sash in the buildings
were smashed. The total damage is
about 81 900. The Big -Four mine has
for the past three days been running
with about 80 men.
The striking miners held a meeting
and left for Odin, eight miles north,
to shut down the minc there. The
sheriff and about 80 Deputies equipped
with Winchesters took a special train
and reached the scene ahead OF the
strikers who were given a warm re-
ception. Several shots were fired and
the mob retreated About so of them
were captured. No one was injured
seriously.
LATER.-Centraiia, III: Despite their
defeat and the capture of quarter Of
their number at Odin the strikers made
another attack on the Centralia miners.
Just about oclocl; in the morning
about 80 of the strikers crept stealthily
toward the mines which had been left
lightly guarded. Suddenly there was
n tremendous fusilade of bullets
against the mine company's Office.
The guards returned the fire with
their Wholesalers, and the attackers
took to their heels. SO far as known
no one was hurt. Assistance soon
came to the guards and the strikers
fled. During the day five companies
of militia arrived and went into camp.
The presence of the troops had a
quoting effect upon the strikers, but
there were many small outbreaks and
as the excitement Is by no means past
a serious conflict seems 10 be the only
possible outcome.
