AN OILY HABIT.


There are people who become unconscious
ly addicted to the butter habit; that is TO
say, they like butter and gradually eat a
little more as the months go by, until they
find they have consumed each meal, quite
a quantity of fat that they have not vitality
enough to properly digest,
This indigested substance causes more or
less catarrh Of the stomach and trouble with
the bowels.
The remedy, of course, is to largely cut
down the allowance OF butter, and for two
or three nights, sup nearly quart OF very
hot water just before going to bed. This
washes out the stomach and bowels and
gives them renewed vitality. Then the per-
son should, for a few mornings at least,
rely on good, rich cream with Grape Nuts
for breakfast, letting out the butter alto
gether. The cream gives all the fat needed,
Grape-Nuts and cream furnish an ideal
portion OF any breakfast.

EVANSVILLE. Ind. June 2i-The first
boodshed OF the coal miners strike, that
has been in progress here for two months,
occurred shortly after last midnight, II
had been decided by the propnctors
Of the Sunnvside mine that foreign miners
would be imported to start the mines. This
decision was made known to the union men
when the Chicago scale had been oirered
them without recognizing the union
About thirty colored miners, from Madi-
sonville, Ky, came in over the Louisville
Nashville, and were met at the station
by James H. Moore, bookkeeper and stock
holder in the Suunyside company. Ths
wagonette was driven by Edward Geiger
son Of the proprietor OF furniture store.

northwestern edge of the city, about

tho road to go to the mines, parties on
both sides of the road fired in the dark
upon the wagonette. The driver whipped
up his horses and hurried to the mine A
few minutes later Patrolman Ruston ap-
peared, having been attracted by the firing,
1t seems that one or two of those who had
fired on the wagonette remSfned in the
neighborhood, and, seeing the policeman,
opened fire on him. a shot struck his

other officers reached the place soon after
wards, but they were not fired upon.

John Phillips, severe, but will recover.
Ed Geiger. driver; ear shot off.
Henry Smith, negro; slight.
John Norsweather, negro; slight.
The Sunnyside mine remains closed today
and the imported men are in hiding.
The serious wounding of Moore the book
keeper has made a deep impression on the
management. The mine is getting into
serious condition because of a lack of opera
ton. 1t is machine mine, and for this
reason the longer 1t remains idle the heavier
the loss.
Fred Dilcher, the national committeeman

Legal DECISION Coneerning Bets.

st. Louis, Dec. 9.-In the cases
against Sol Stein and w. F. Hogaman,
bookmakers, charged with violating
the breeders law, Judge Clark, of the
court of criminal correction, yesterday
ruled that the state failed to make
case by proving that the bets were
registered in a real book with leaves
and binding. The information pleaded
that the bets were made by means of a
book" and the court held that this
was not sufficient. The state at
tempted to show that ''bool1'' could be
made without a sheet of paper or a
cover, but the court said he could not
take judicial cognizance of can't ex-
preston or gamblers phrase and he
would have to hold that the word
''booiz'' meant a book.

crime. The five men who so boldly
killed the teacher were arrested by en-
ragged citizens. Sanders was a bright
young man and taught one of the best
schools in Monroe county.

ROBERTS ANSWERED.
a Delegation at Washington. Representing
the Gentle Element In Utah, Op-
poses the PoIygamist.

Washington, Dec "a lengthy
answer to Mr.. Brigham Roberts adj
dress to the American people was made
yesterday by a delegation representing
the Gentle element in Utah, who are
here to oppose Mr.. Roberts. It makes
the assertion, among other points, that
the compact between Utah and the
other states-as evidenced by many
public acts of the authorities of Utah
has been violated by Mr.. Roberts.
That Mr.. Roberts himself understood
that compact to mean the discontinu-
ance of unlawful cohabitation, the
answer points to his registration oath
of 1895, in which he swore it to be his
intention to obey the law prohibiting
unlawful cohabitation.

AN OLD RUMoR REVIVED.
Washington OmciaIs skeptical as to tho
Ability of Consul yVIIdman to Per
suade Aguinaldo to Surrender.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Relative to the
rumor from Hong Kong that Aguinal-
do is willing to surrender to Consul
Wildman, it is learned that, though the
consul himself has cherished that be-
lief for some months past, the govern
ment has been without any assurance
of the soundness of his conclusions.
Mr.. Wildman is not the only official
representing the United States in the
far east who has expressed confidence
in his ability to persuade Aguinaldo to
cease hostilities, but for some reason
the administration has always been
somewhat skeptical as to these under
takings. The report from Hong Kong
is believed to be nothing more than d
revival of some of the old runors.

Waited sixteen Year,.

One day in 1888, Saber, the two-year-
old daughter of Mr.. Rouse, a section
foreman on the Frisco railroad in
Cherokee county, wandered away from
the house and lay down on the railroad
track. Soon she was fast asleep, and
she did not waken until freight train
came along and cut off one OF hsu legs
just below the knee. Nothing was
ever done in the way of holding the
railroad responsible for damages, and
little Saber grew into happy girlhood
and then attractive womanhood in
spite of her sad Disagreement. Just
before the date of her eighteen III birth
day, however, she was advised by some
one to bring suit against the railroad
for damages, and last week the attor-
neys of the company were notified that
action had been commenced in the
court of Cherokee county for $50, 600.
