Leader of the Strik RS in Jail Charged
Wi Ia Murder.

With Murder.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 5.-The arrest
of President Z. L. Davis of the local
mine workers association and his lodge
ment in the jail here yesterday has
placed the strikers in a state of bewiId-
erment throughout the region, and the
Abandonment of the strike within the
next twelve hours is being predicted.
President Davis is charged with murder,
and therefore cannot be released on bail.
mob of 1900 rioters out of which
Davis was taken. camped last night in
woods near Scottdale and did not make a
move during the night. They had plann-
ed attack on the Meyer works of A.
]. Raney of Vanderbilt, but the absence
of leader caused them to abandon the
idea.
They will not move today until meet
ing of delegates from all over the region
can be held. They fully expected Davis
to return to them and map out plan of
operation but now new leader must be
chosen, or the movement will fall fat
There is general CONSERVATION in the
ranks of the strikers and many are in
favor of giving up the fight There are
now 50 rioters in jail here and these are
the leaders in the movement.
The only place depredations are being
committed is at the Mount Braddock
plant of w. j. Rainey, near Dun bar,
where about 500 of the marauders are
assembled They have destroyed
some property about the plant
but no encounter is feared
since the workmen will not attempt to
enter the mine until the mob is dis
persed
Ten ovens were charged last night
and are burning. At Hill farm the men
returned and are being guarded by fifty
deputies. In other parts the situation is
unchanged. The murder of J. II. Pad
| dock has turned public sentiment against
the strikers.

what Well Known Financfers Say OF the
Kansas Mutual Life
To the Trustees Of the Kansas Mutual Life As
Your committee appointed to audit the
accounts of the Kansas Mutual Life as
sociation respectfully submit the follow
ing report:
we have carefully examined the books
and verified the accounts of the associa-
ton. and have found them neatly, accur-
ately, and correctly kept, exhibiting
detailed and comprehensive record of its
business transactions and financial con-
dition.
A comparison Of the accounts and rec
ords of the office with the annual state
ment made to the state insurance depart
ment, and also with the annual report
made to the members for the year ending
December 31st, 1898, shows said annual
statement and report to be full and cor
rect in every particular.
During 1898 the Association made a
good growth in assets, and closed the
year stronger financially and better equi-
pped than ever before for the work and
responsibilities devolving upon a life
company.
There were thirty nine death losses
paid during the year 1898, amounting to
SOS, 100, all of which were paid with
commendable promptness-
There were no death claims reported
and unpaid at the close of the year, ex-
cept one requiring investigation.
The total amount paid the beneficiaries
or estates of deceased policy holders
since organization to the close of 1898, is
$463, O64O2.
The amount of insurance in force on
the Associations books December 31st
1893 was IS, 15S, 800, and the reserve liza
bility thereon, computed according to the
Actuaries' Table of Mortality, and per
cent interest, was $55,S45.14-
The total assets amounted to 1929. 175.2S,
invested as follows: $13J. O95.OO loans on
real estate first mortgage securities; Sill,
10000 in city and county bonds; $14,
991.97 deposited in the Morrill, s. James
Bank, of Hiawatha, Kansas; $12. S60.76
deposited in the Central National Bank,
of Topeka; $13.015.14 deposited in the
Bank of Topeka; $27617 cash in the Of
flee of the Association; $19. 1O6.9S de-
ferred premiums: S3.63S.2S interest ac-
crued but not due; $12, 190.98 consists of
various items, as per the Secretary's re-
port
The association is highly prosperous,
its affairs being in a satisfactory condi-
perity is all that could reasonably be de-
sired.
Respectfully submitted.

President Davis Leader of the
Strikers
Is Now in Jail Charged With
Murder.
FILLED WITH HOLES.

SCoTTDALE, Pa, April 5-The entire
coke region is in high state of excite
ment today and fears of more bloodshed
and the destruction of property are en-
tertained Reports come of armed bodies
of strikers assembling for the purpose of
marching on WORKS still in operation. In
this section all the plants are running
but the Painter works of Mcclure s. Co.
The strikers visited the works last
night and remained with the men until
daylight The workmen with few ex
ceptions are willing to work but are
afraid. Sheriff Wilhelm is still busy
arresting strikers who participated
in yesterdays riot, in which Chief
Engineer Paddock was killed. He now
has 125 men safely behind the bars at
ConnellsvilIe. About thirty of the mob
were surrounded in house at Wander
bilt today, but they refused to surrender.
The house is now in a state of siege.
While making the arrests the deputies
were compelled to fire on the mob.
1t is reported that the bodies of six
men were found on the road to Adelaide,
the direction in which the mob fed.
Four hundred strikers camped near
here last night and at o'clock started
for Mount Pleasant to visit the works
along the line. Sheriff Mccain has
from % to 1875 deputies at each of the
plants and serious trouble may be ex-
pected- The deputies are we'll armed,
and have orders to arrest, or shoot any
one guilty of misdemeanor.
Many of the workmen are also armed,
so that the mob will be certain to re-
ceive warm reception. A crowd of 600
is marching on Mount Braddock, and an
other mob of nearly 1000 is on the way
to Lemont and Oliver. After stoppin q
work at Hill Farm and the Adelaide,
they will cross the river to attack Brad
ford. There is talk of a posse of Con-
nellsville citizens forming to prevent
them getting across the river.

REDS FELL WORK.
Another Bomb Exploded Under the Walls
of Paris Senate Chamber.


of the Paris Senate Chamber.
PARIS, April "a bomb was placed in
a flower box on the window sill of the
Restaurant Foyer, % Rue Vanguard,
opposite the senate chamber, last night
at 800 o'clock. 1t exploded with tre-
mendous report. Windows in the senate
chamber and for many hundred feet in
the vicinity were destroyed
The cashier of the restaurant was
Madame Leroux. Her hair was COM
pletely burned of. One of the walters
was rendered completely deaf by the
conclusion
So great was the force of the explosion
that all the windows in Rue de Condo for
distance of $50 metres were blown to
atoms.
Nj. Taillade, the artist, was hurt and is
suffering excruciating pain. He groans
increasingly and continually begs the
physician to give him choral to allevi-
ate his agony. Taillade has been an
anarchist, but having suffered from a
practical illustration of the cowardly
crimes of the anarchists he now declares
that they are no longer his friends.
There are not lacking many persons who
express no sympathy with him, declar-
ing that he has only been awarded retri-
butive justice.
The senate chamber shows traces of
the explosion, the force of which was
sufficient to break the two immense plate
glass windows in a tavern at the corner
of Rue de Condo and Rue de Vaugirard,
which is separated from Foyot's by a side
street.
In view of the explosion of bomb in
the Restaurant Foyer, near the senate
chamber, the opinion is generally ex-
pressed that the police are practically
powerless to prevent such affairs.
The waiter in the cafe who was
wounded by the explosion is believed to
be diving

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, April 5.-The ex-

About half the miners and drawers have
returned to work and the plant is in

The others either sympathize with the
strikers, or are afraid of the mob. The
company evidently are expecting an OUT

strikers who camped near the plant were
quiet all night all night and made no at

The attack is not looked for before

have been closed down until after

the strikers to turn their attention to

Indigestion yields to a reasonable care
in taking Paine's celery compound Liver
and kidney troubles will not persist when
only pure blood flows through these i'm
portant organs. The cure OF diseases Of
the stomach and nerves by Paines celery
compound starts at the very cause of the
trouble; thin, watery blood, and tangled,
shaky nerves.
Thousands of overworked business men
and hosts of plain, hard-working people
are to-day strong and happy whose lives
were full of wretchedness and weakness
before trying Paine's celery compound.
Disorders of the lives, stomach, and
kidneys can now be thoroughly driven
out of the system by Paine's celery COM
pound, the remedy that makes people
we'll.
At the first indication of nervous weak
ness and run down" condition of the
system, tone up the stomach with Paine's
celery compound, regulate the nervous
system and nourish the body by this great
invigorator.
Try it and be convinced
One of the best known young men of
Holyoke, Mass, Mr.. j. E. Moyett, whose
likeness is given above, writes frankly:
II have taken Paine's celery compound.
and found it to be the best medicine thatN
have ever taken. l felt weak and ruD
down and could not eat anything in the
morning, also had a vomiting spell every
morning after getting up. took part of
two bottles of Paine's celery compound
and feel better than l have for year. 1
can cheerfully recommend it to any one.
My wife is taking it now for weakness
and nervousness, and it helps her very
much The druggist whore we trade tells
my wife that Paine's celery compound
outsells any other medicine that they
keep"
That is the story from one end of the
country to the other; because Paine's
celery compound cures.
