POLITICS BRING BLOWS.
II. o. Rogers and A. A. Wheeler in
set-tO-WheeleF Arrested.


An encounter occurred between Mr.. A.
A. Wheeler and Mr.. B. o. Rogers at the
clerks office in the city exchange yester-
day about / o'clock. Accounts of the diff
ficulty differ materially. Mr.. Wheeler is
the ex-superintendent of the crematory
and Mr.. Rogers is the superintendent of
the O. E. M. department. In a recent
statement in the Morning News of the
part taken by him in the sale of scrap
iron from the crematory to William Ne-
hoe & Co., Mr.. Rogers stated that the
deal for the iron was made between Mr..
Wheeler and Mr.. Kehoe, and that the
money paid to him for the iron by Mr..
Kehoe was turned over to Mr.. Wheeler.
When Mr.. Wheeler and Mr.. Rogers met
in the clerks office yesterday there were
words between them on account of this
publication and MT. Rogers knocked Mr..
Wheeler down. The latter was afterwards
arrested and remained at the barracks
several hours before being bonded out.
A Morning News reporter was informed
at the city exchange that Mr.. Wheeler
came into the office of Public Works
Commissioner Willink 1T II o'clock and in
quired for Mr.. Rogers He was told that
Mr.. Rogers was not in and was asked if
ne laQ any message 10 ledNe. lie SAID ne
had not, hut rem arked significantly that
he would find Rogers. 1t was noticed that
he had a large knife in his hand. About
fan hour later he again came into the office
and inquired for Mr.. Rogers and was in
formed that he would be in about l o'clock.
At that hour Mr. Wheeler came back to
the city exchange for the third time and
met Mr. Rogers. The latter had been in
formed that Wheeler was looking for
him and that he was carrying a knife
with the evident intention of using it.
When the two men met they spoke to
each other. According to the information
obtained at the city exchange, Wheeler
asked Rogers if he was responsible for
those - lies published in Sundays Morn
ing News" to which Rogers replied that
the statements published by him in the
Morning News were true. Wheeler il was
said. then called Rogers a liar and made
"a motion toward his pocket, upon which
Rogers struck out hitting Wheeler in the
Jaw and knocking him down He arose
somewhat dazed, when Rogers was about
TO hit him again, but was prevented by
Mayor Myers and others present.
Mayor Myers had been in his private
office, but ran out when he heard the diff
Guilty. policeman was telephoned for.
and when Wheeler left the exchange he
was arrested by Policeman TulliS ana
taken to the barracks. 1t was also stat
ed that on the occasion of Wheeler's first
visit TO the exchange, while i'm the entry
way downstairs, he cursed Mayor Myers
and Mr.. Rogers in the Vilest manner
Mr.. Wheeler tells quite another story
After being released from the barracks

\AEeak I'll eYVes

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, i'm
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
TO the brain, the king of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result Of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is "a concise, reasonable expla-
nation Of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs viii have
the healthful nOurishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by thevoluntary statements Of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

The Mexican Dollar.

Let the free silver agitators paste the re-
port of the Mexican International Railroad
in their hats. The company increased its
business last year, and had an excess of in
come oyer expenses of more than million
dolars-Mexican dollars. The interest on
its bonds amounted to only $56O,O00, which
ought to have left the company handsome
profit But these had to be paid in dollars
of the United States, the money having
been borrowed here. And as Mexican
dollar was worth only 51.S3 cents in' gold
the 81, O57, 439 of earnings, when converted
into United States currency, would pay
only $54S.O70, leaving the railroad with
deficit. That is the way the silver standard
would work with our own railroads. They
would have to collect their fares and freights
in silver, and they could pay their employees
and their domestic creditors in silver, but
they could not thus put of their foreign
creditors. They might cheat labor, but they
would not long continue defrauding capital.
