About a year ago, together with
number of Americans, Dr. Armour
signed contracts with the Belgian
government to go to Congo Free State.
1t was part of their mission to deal
with the Arab slave hunters who in
fest the portions of that country and

They enlisted for term of three
years with the provision that If at the
end of two years their health was

destination they might select.
DIR. Armour sailed from this city
for Brussels February 10, 1896. He

river to Stanley Pool. There they
were assigned to their stations.

did not regard his illness as serious.
The command, he said, was about to
be reinforced by Europeans and he
stated that the intention was to push
further into the interior.

ballast around the entrance to the va
rious culverts on its tracks and has
moved all its rolling stock to higher
ground. The Short Line, Illinois Cen

Together Tonight
New York, March 30.-Jack Ever
hardt and kid Mcfarland will box
twenty rounds at the Broadway Ath-
letic club tonight. Both men have
fought kid" Lavigne and both are
credited with standing for % rounds
before the indominatable lightweight
without being knocked out.
Two men with such regulations for
gameness are sure to take well, and
it was the promise of an exceptionally
good fight which induced O'Rourke
to make the match. Everhardt is not
ed for his ability to stand punishment
Mcfarland is undoubtedly the
best of the local lightweights. His
late fight with Lavigne in which he
broke his hand in the third round and
fought defensive battle for %
rounds. stamped him as one of the
gamest man in the pugilistic arena.
His record is quite as good as Ever
hardts. Since he became a profess
sional fighter in 1894 he has fought
over sixty battles, Only two decisions
have been against him. He is clean
two handed fighter and one of the
clevereSt boxers IN the procession.

NO MORE BOTTLED COCKTAILS

st. Louis, March 30.-What local Ii
quor dealers declare as death blow
to bottled cocktails has been dealt
them, The United States treasury de-
partment has decided that all retailers
who keep bottled cocktail on their
shelves for sale must pay rectifl-
er's license. A year ago st. Louis
liquor merchant was requested by
the United States commissioner to
pay the rectifier's license. He contest
ed the right of the government to de-
mand such payment, saying he had al
ready purchased the materials used
in compromising the cocktail and had
paid the usual revenue license. The
case has been hanging fire ever since
and has Just been decided.
The retailers say there is no money
in handling the bottled cocktails if
such a tax is to be paid. 1t is likely
hereafter the man who likes his mixed
drinks bottled will have to get 1t pre-
pared at the bar and take it away
fresh.

Wells has made the most sensational
ride ever seen at bicycle race meet

one mile open for professionals with
himself, Jones, Mcfarland and Down
ing as starters. Max Morris of Texas
was put in to make the pace. Down

laps Downing commenced the sprint,
with the other men riding like fiends
to get around him, but he kept in the
lead, all the others riding on the band,
seemingly trying to shut Wells out,
but the giant was too speedy for them
and notwithstanding that he had to
hug the top of the banks for laps
they could not stave of his final sprint
on the last lap.
He passed his competitors as If they
were standing still and won the, race
in the remarkably fast time of PHI.
Wells has won more prizes than any
other single rider during the tourna-
ment and is improving in form every
day. The last half was ridden in :54.

Practically Every Miner in the Pittsburg

P1TTsBURG, July 1O.-It is safe to say
that the amount Of coal dug during the
day on the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad would not
fill one flatcar. Such complete shut
down as exists in this district so soon
after the Inauguration of the strike is
admittedly surprise to the people iv.
ing in that section. A careful review
Of the situation proves the assertion of
the miners officials that the Wheeling
division is solidly advocating the strike.
AL the mines above Finleyville are
completely tied up. The local mining
officials, flushed with victory, are now
preparing to make a move against the
mines of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company. They express con-
fidence in their ability to bring these
men out before the end of the week,
and then the suspension in this district
will be complete.
