TRAMPS SHOT POLICE.
Fatal Encounter in the stockyards at
Toledo-oficer Will Die.

Toledo, O., Aug 17-Police and tramps
had bloody encounter in the stock yards
district of East Toledo this morning
Shortly after O'Clock Partolman Steven
Shafer came upon a party of tramps
lounging under the Oak street bridge. He
ordered them to disperse.
Without warning James Smith, one of
the tramps, drew revolver and fired at
the officer. Patrolman Shafer was seen
to stagger in his tracks. Although badly
wounded the officer did not lose his pres
ence of mind. He drew his own gun and
commenced to blaze away at the trio,
who were already on the run. The offic-
er, who had been shot in the left breast,
was taken to a house near by and his
wound was pronounced fatal by a physic-
an. Tie alarm was sounded and soon
two wagon loads of policemen arrived
and were joined by farmers with pitch
forks and shotguns in the chase after the
fleeing tramps. The officers were close
on the heels of the tra mps, and as Patrol
man Smith levelled shotgun and fired,
he himself was shot in the right wrist by
one of the tramps. The tramp who did
the shooting had his legs filled with shot,
but he kept on running. Patrolman
Parks captured one of them. Meanwhile
the other two reached barn, where they
climbed into the hay loft and burrowed
their way out of sight. A gardener who
saw the operation gave the officers a
pointer and the barn was surrounded.
When the men saw that they were corn
cred they threw down their weapons with
curse and surrendered

Strike at the Roots

You can't kill a poisonous plant by
Topping off its branches. Life will
still exist in the roots. New branches
will be put forth, stronger than ever.
To exterminate you must kill the root.
It's just SO with disease. When it
once attacks the human system it be-
comes manifest in many ways. Pimples,
6totched or salloeo face, dull pains, sleep
tessness, loss Of appetite, general depres-
sson, tdssitude,-thes and many other
symptoms are the branches of disease.
The root will be found in the great
vital centers, the Kidneys. Liver,
Stomach, and Blood, on account of
Natures inability to dispose of accu-
mulated poisons in these organs.
Don't endeavor to gain health by dis
pelling the symptoms. You may gain
temporary relief, but the trouble will
re-occur, increased and aggravated.
Strike at the root of the disease. Help
Nature dispel the cause. To do this
eGectually use Natures own remedy.

RECEPTION TO MRS. CAPTAIN
BREWER.
Close of the Old Orchard Salvation Army
Campmeeting.
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.l

Old Orchard, August 1s.-The Saliva
tion Army campmeeting here closed to-
day with the exception Of a single meet
ing, sort of family gathering" as
Brig. Brewer expressed it, and that will
be held tomorrow morning at O'Clock.
The rain was simply pouring down
when the soldiers were called out to at
tend the knee drill, led by Captain
Roberts. AT the 10. 80 meeting an attempt
was made to raise money for the slum
work, and $3.50 was contributed. The
collections during the day were all
liberal, and the campmeeting will more
than pay expenses
Mrs. Captain Brewer, wife of Brig
Brewer, reached here today, having been
on the sick list for some time past. She
was given a hearty reception at the after
noon meeting Staff Captain Parker led

liant in quite as good condition as in 1893.
If she Isl and reports IF her sailings
against the Defender are true he
says the Defender is a good boat.
He thinks the Valkyrie s chances are
good to win the cup, so far as the New
York Yacht Club and the Defender are
concerned, but is afraid that the excurs-
ion boats will make trouble. Lord Dun
raven and all members of the Royal Yacht
squadron believe the New York Yacht
Club will endeayor to have everything
fair and square, but they criticise the
manner in which the steamers watch the
races and crowd the yachts. Lord Dun
raven wanted the races held off Marble
head or away from New York to avoid
this crowding. No one here places any
reliance in the English press gossip
about the unfairness of Americans. Lord
Dunraven declares he found at all races
the Americans were honest and sports
manlike. 1t is learned that Lord Dun
raven will command the Valkyrie III.

was quite swell on.

FIVE MEN KILLED.
Five Others Rendered Unconscious by Es
cape of Gas from Disused Mine Near
Magee's Mills, Penn.

Altoona, Penn, August 1s-A fatal
explosion occurred last evening in aEdeep
cut on the Pittsburg and Eastern, near
McGee's Mills, Cletrfeld county.
Workmen had put off heavy blast of
one hundred and fifty kegs of powder.
After the explosion they went back to
work, and on approaching the vicinity of
the blast fell unconscious to the ground,
overcome by gas
Rescuing parties went in but suffered
in the same way. When the men were
rescued five were dead and five unable to
help themselves. Among those affected,
but who are recovering, is son of Con-
tractor McManus.
Part of the cut on which the work is
being done is directly over an old coal
mine. The explanation given is that
through the years since it has been used
the mouth closed, and there has been an
accumulation of gas which was liberated
by the blast and, coming out into the
cut, caused the death and Inconsistencies
of the men.

The City Of Fargo is Over Run
by Tramps.
THEY ARE ARMING THEMSELVES
AND TROUBLE is FEARED.
They are Pouring in to the City by Hun
dreds and are Desperate at Being Re-
fused Food-Burglaries are of Nightly
Occurance-The People are Alarmed,

Fargo, N. D., August 1s.-The great
influx of laborers to this section is caus-
ing the people here no end of trouble. 1t
is likely that before the city has gotten
rid of the army of tramps there will be
serious trouble Of late the men have
tired of looking for work, and are angry
at being repnlsed on every hand when
asking for food. They have been arming
themselves and there are now, it is esti
mated, over one thousand men in this
vicinity carrying lreyolvers or guns.
Burglaries of hardware stores are of
nightly occurrence. It is remarked that
a case containing reyolyers and shot guns
is the only thing molested. 1t is claimed
by some men who have been sent to jail
as vagrants that an army of unemployed
is waiting favorable opportunity to
hold up the city. For the past month
the mon have been coming in here by
the hundreds and of late the police have
been ordering them away as fast as they
come.
Every freight train brings from ten to
hundred men, and among the lot are
some of the most villanious specimens
unhung They claim they were informed
there was plenty of work here, and de-
mand that the people of the city support
them until they can find something to
do. There are more men in the harvest
fields now than can find work The
steady rush of men to this point is com
plicating affairs, and many people are
badly frightened over the outlook.
