wHEELING'S RAILWAY STRIKE.

Mob Attacks the Company's Barns
and Erects a Barrlcade.
Wheeling, w. Va, April 10.-Al-
though the Wheeling Railway COM
pany made no effort to operate it's
road, Sunday did not pass without
deeds of violence. Last night the large
barns, Just below the city line, in Mar
shall county, were attacked by a small
mob of boys and young men who fired
brickbats, stones and other missiles
through the windows and erected a
barricade in front of the door out of
which the cars leave the barns. The
Benwood police we're called upon for
protection, but the response was not
satisfactory to the company, where
upon Secretary Shirley called upon the
sheriff of Marshall county for protec-
tion. This official left at once for the
scene of hostilities and was there at
midnight He detailed several deputies
for duty at the barns. Long before this
hour, however, the crowd had dis
persed.
The company has secured 20 other
non-union men from Chicago who ar
rived at Bellaire yesterday. Over half
of the men brought here Saturday
have deserted.
The Ohio Valley Trades and Labor
assembly, in session yesterday, en-
dorsed the strike Neither side has
sought a conference so far, and It looks
like a bitter fight.

rifles, Presidential Bee.

1t is reported at Washington that
General Miles is itching with ambi-
ton to become President of the |
United States. 1t goes without say
ing that neither he nor his admirers
have the slightest idea that he can
be nominated next year by the Re
publicans, as it is practically a fore
gone conclusion that nothing but
death can take Mckinley out of the
race, and he is quite likely to once
more be the standard bearer of his
party.
There is considerable talk in the
newspapers of the country about
starting a new party, and undoubt-
edly something is going to he done
along those lines, but just what
no one worth quoting seems to know
at present The chances are the So
called new party will be largely made
up of the former gold-bug Democrats
who refused to support Bryan in 1896,
and who are not satisfied with the
administration of Mckinley on ac-
count of the Presidents expansion
policy, and because these people
never did and probably never can en-
dorse the tariff views held by the
average Republican of prominence.
The leaders of the gold element of
the Democratic party naturally turn
to Miles as their candidate. They
realize that they will cut very little
figure in the next national contest
further than to draw votes from the
Democratic and Republican parties
They-the Cleveland -Olney wing of
the Democratic party-seem to be
bent on stirring up trouble for the
other fellows, and their cry is any
thing to beat Bryan. For this rea-
son they are encouraging Miles in his
warfare, and care nothing about his
Republicanism.
General Miles has been in a stew
ever since preparations were made
for the war with Spain. The ranking
General Of the army does not have
much power at best, and what little
there was has been curtailed by
Secretary Alger, so that the dashing
Miles has had poor swing. To be
eurbed by the Secretary Of War was
bad enough, but when a civilian like
the Assistant Secretary got to jump
ing on him too, the milk of human
kindness in the breast Of Miles ha
almost turned to clabber.
Miles presidential ambition i
pretty well known, but recent event
have taken both the ranking Genera
and the gentleman who presides owe
the War department out Of the race
as presidential possibilities. And al
on account of the beef packers.

Roseburg, Ore, April 10.-State Fish
Commissioner II. ID. MCGUIRE and State
Senator A. w. Reed of Douglas county,
were drowned Saturday in the Umpqua
river. Reed, Mcclure and w. F. Hub
bard, of Stone, Ore, started down the

left orders here for a wagon to meet
them on the road about 4 o'clock p. m,
above their objective point. Livery
man Barker went down four miles
below winchester, where he met Hub
bard, who stated that they passed
safely through one rapid and before
they were aware of it they were close
to another. and in their efforts to
avoid it an oarlock broke and the boat
swamped. A moment later both Reed
and McGuire had disappeared.

Brunson, S. c., April 10.-Saturday
night a pitched battle with pistols was
fought in the streets between James
Preacher, Charlie Preacher and Aaron
Preacher, brothers, on the one side,
and George Ried, Mack Ried, James
Ried, brothers, and Joseph Connolly,
on the other. AS a result George Ried
is dead, Mack Ried is probably fatally
wounded, Joseph Connolly is seriously
wounded and James Preacher is
slightly wounded in the hand. A negro
farm hand employed by George Ried
was subsequently employed by the
Preachers, and the bad feeling en-
gendered led to the deadly duel.

San Francisco, April S.-A press
representative at Honolulu sends an
account of a racial BATTLE between the
Japanese and Chinese laborers on the
Kalaku plantation, which took place
on March 26. The Japanese, armed
heavily and well organized, made an
onslaught on the Chinese quarters,
first having placed their own women
and children in places of safety. The
Chinese were taken entirely unawares.
The Japanese welded spikes, clubs,
knives and axes, and before the Chi
nese could make resistance three OF
their men were killed and fifty more
seriously wounded, some fatally. At
ter considerable difficulty the belliger-
ents were dispersed by a squad of po-
lice sent from Honolulu.

cAfAkRH OF 1Hn STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, safe but gaeotual Cure
for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been con
sidered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloated
sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery risinRs, a forma-
tion of gases, causing pressure on the lungs
and heart and difficult breathing; headache,
tickle appetite, nervousness and general
played out and languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior Of stomach
could be seen it would show a Shiny, in
famed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
disease is found in treatment which causes
the food to be readily and thoroughly di-
gested before it has time to ferment and ir-
ritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach
To secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do, and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared
According to DIR. Harlanson the safest and
best treatment is to use after each meal a
tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsip,
little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and. not being a patent medicine,
can be used with perfect safety and assur-
rance that healthy appetite and thorough
digestion will follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. N. J. Booher, of 271O Dearborn St.,
Chicago, H., writes: "Catarrh is local con-
dtion resulting from a neglected cold in the
head whereby the lining membrane of the
nose becomes in1amed and the poisonous dis.
charge therefron, passing back into the
throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing
catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities
prescribed for me three years for catarrh OF
the stomach without cure, but to-day l am
the happiest of men after using only one box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. l can not find
appropriate words to express my good feeling
l have found flesh, appetite and sound resi-
from their use.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safes
preparation as well as the simplest and mos
convenient remedy for any form of ipdiges
tion catarrh of the stomach, biliousness
sour stomach, heartburn and bloating afte
meals
Send for book, mailed free, on stomach
troubles, by addressing the f. A. Stuart Co.
Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be found a
all drug stores.

dren, as well as adults, can drink it with great

Newport News, Va, April TO-
Charles Wilkerson, yard conductor of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, was
shot early yesterday morning in a fight
with Ben Bates, bugler at Fort Mon
roe. About a dozen friends of the
two principals blazed away at one an
other with revolvers 80 or 60 times
during the fight, but no one save VIII
kerson was injured. Bates fired at
Policeman Fisher twice, one of the
balls striking the officers badge, which
undoubtedly saved his life. Bates was
arrested. Wilkerson's wounds are seri-
Gus. He was sent to the hospital.

Despondent Politician,s suIcIde.

Boston, April 1O.-John H. Sullivan,
member of the city's board of appor-
tionment, and a well known Demo-
cratic politician, was found dead in his
bed at his home yesterday morning
He had killed himself by shooting
through the head. Two causes are as
signed, one that he was despondent
from illness, which did not seem to
yield to medical treatment, and the
other that large financial losses had
discouraged him.
