The Genes.ee shoe Co.

The Genesee Shoe Co, which wa, recently incorporated under the law of Arizona, with Tombstone as the principal place of business, has gone out of business.
 They retired when a draft for forty !! dollars due the PRosPEcToR for adyer- Using was presented to the secretary at Rochester.
 Who was swindled beside the PRos> PEcToR has not yet been discovered, but it is the general opinion that Q bunco game has been played on more than one unsuspecting innocent.
 A great deal of mail matter came to the Tombs,one office addressed to this company, which has been returned to the writers.
 The precious pair of attorneys who did their dirty work live in Rochester, New York, under the firm name of Bills and Smythe. They guaranteed their credits and afterward repudiated them.
 The incorporators of the concern were John McColville, c. Augustus Cleveland and Merleau c. Smith.
 This slight allusion 10 the Roches- ter method of using Arizona as a door mat is only prelude to the expose Of as rotten a s"indle as was ever perpe trated by movers in New York society. More anon.

compound stirs the excretive organs, the
liver and kidneys, to stronger action !;
the blood grows at once purer and redder
and more capable of carrying nutriment
and oxygen to every nerve and muscular
fiber of the body.
Paine's celery compound makes people
well by building up new tissues in place
of the old regulating shakY nerves by
appropriate nerve food and sending a
strong, full tide of pure blood through
the diseased parts Of the liver, heart,
stomach and kidneys.
To worried women, just as to buiness
men staggering under financial adversely,
comes and final breakdown.
Il am not III enough to take medicine"
she too often says, and puts of from day
to day the correction Of her trouble.
Paine's celery compound Ia the great
spring medicine 1t cures every form Of
nervous weakness an the special disOr-
ders of liver, heart, stomach. and kidneys
that arise from impure Hood and run
down" system badly nOurished.
These are the difficulties that Paine's
celery compound corrects. L builds UP
the whole BODY, blood, nerves, and tissues
in a way that nothing else has ever
| equaled. People get well who thought
fully and thoroughly try it. For rheu
matiem it is the one true specific.

Congressman Ikirt Sends Him to His
Home Again.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Iesterday n
of Coxey's army applied to Congress-
man Ikirt, of the Massillon district, for
aid to get home. The man was q
painter, who lives near Massillon, and
told Mr.. Ikirt that he had tramped all
the way to Washington from Ohio, but
was Disguised and wanted to go hOrse.
Mr.. Ikirt knew him and his family,
knew hat his story was true and rec
ognized him, in fact, as a man who was
prominently associated with a labor
organization in the congressional dis
trict. SO he gave the mar money
enough to buy a railroad ticket, and
yesterday afternoon the disguised
Coxeyite left for Massillon.
Speaking about the nomination of
COxey for congress, Mr.. Ikirt said
THE nomination Of Mr.. Coxey for
congress by the populists of the Mas
sillon district is an empty honor. Two
years ago the populists cast only 1918
votes out of a total Of nearly $4,000,
and so far as surface indications go
they have no more strength today than
they had then. In fact, there are more
prohibitionists in the district than pop
ulists, so it is not at all likely that Mr..
COxey will come to congress-"

LONDON, May 19.-The strike Of the
cabmen relieved the congestion OF
traffic about the railway stations. etc.
Small cab have agreed to he
mems terms, and service of these We
hicles has been resumed, the drivers
showing a card upon which a fair
price is printed, and above
which they dare not go. Lord
Shrewsbury. the largest of the
London cab owners has also arranged
terms with some of his cabmen, but the
other large owners and some smaller
ones still resist.
The owners have hitherto charged
cabmen from Il to 10 shillings per day
for the use OF their cabs, according to
the season. The cabmen claim that the
maximum charge should not be above
Is shillings, including items which have
hitherto been charged for extra. At this
rate they claim they can exist without
being compelled to charge exOrbitant
rates Of fare, but otherwise not. The
cabmen'S union has been in existence
only three weeks, but their funds are
almost exhausted and contributions
are cry few.
The striking cabmen held a large
meeting in Hyde Park yesterday after
noou. They marched in procession
half a mile long, and popular sympathy
! with them was evidenced by contribu
tions of cash by the people who
thronged the line.

Prominent North Carolina Daily Paper in
the Hands of the Sheriff:
A%sHvILLE, n. c., May 19.-The sheriff
of B~umcombe county has seized the
plant and subscription books Of the
Ashville daily and weekly Citizen on
affidavit of claims made by 7. w. Pat
ton, who was recently elected mayor
of that city. Patton three years ago
owned a half interest in the paper and
sold to the Randolph-Kerr printing Co.,
the latter giving promisory notes at
stated intervals. The notes were paid
with interest in order, say n which
was paid in part, the balance having
been paid at a subsequent date. Patton
now claims the plant and books on the
ground that the note was not paid in
full when due, thereby breaking the
legal obligations. The present owners
are holding to their property and de-
clare they will fight the matter in every
court in the land. It is stated that
personal feelings arising from the re-
cent city election has Influenced the
| step on the part of Patton.

No Trace of the Prominent Idaho Capital
list Since the Early Part of April.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-HOn John M.
Burke. of Idaho, a prominent democrat
of that state, and interested to a large
extent in silver mines in the CRur
d'Alene region, who spent a greater
portion of the winter in Washington,
has been missing for over a month.
Governor Burke, as he was known,
came here in December last to fight
against free cad ores. In h latter
part of March he went to visit in Mil
waukee, Wis, expecting to return
April /. He was in Milwaukee the first
week in April, but since that time nc
trace of him has been found.
A personal friend OF his named Gross,
who had been here with him during the
winter, left a few days ago to organize
a systematic search from the place
where he was last known to be. Mr.
Burke was a sbrewd business man, anc
as he usually carried a considerable
sum of money, foul play is feared.
