HEARTBURN

When the quantity of food taken is
too large or the quality too rich heart
burn is likely to follow, and especially
so if the digestion has been weakened
by constipation. Eat slowly and not
too freely of easily digested food. Mas
ticate the food thoroughly. Let six
hours elapse between meals, and when
you feel a fullness and weight in the
region of the stomach after eating, in
dicating that you have eaten too much,
take one Of Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets and the heartburn
may be avoided. For sale by F. H.

SHOT A CONDEMNED MAN.

New Orleans, July IA legal hang
ing under peculiarly dramatic condi-
tons took place in the little town of
Quitman, Miss, today. Randolf Ev-
ans, a negro, was convicted of murder
ing a white mar last December. Today
when the sheriff went for him at the
hour set for the execution he found the
negro armed with a heavy iron bar in
the recesses of his cell, defying the off,
Ger Of the law. Various attempts
were made to get at the prisoner, in
which the oficers failed badly, receiv-
Ing several severe blows from the iron
bar which the negro welded effective,
ly. The negro was then shot in both
arms, bound hand and foot and, with
oaths on'his lips, vas hanged.

FOUND DEAD.
Matt Rash Of Browns Park Was Prob
ably Murdered.

Ebb Bassett of Ladoro, Routt coun-
ty, Colorado, arrived in Rock Springs
last night with news that Matt Rash,
a well known stockgrower of Browns
park, was found dead in bed yesterday
by Flex Myers and William Rife. with
two gun shot wounds in his body. He
had been dead several days, as decom-
position had set in. His horse was al
so found dead, having been shot.
Rash was well liked. He owned 800
head of cattle. There is nothing to
throw any light on the affair yet, but
it is believed the murder was commit
ted by the men who killed Sheriff Ty-
Ter and Deputy jenkins near Thomp-
sons. Utah, recently, and who are be-
lieved to be in the Browns park coun-

EVERYTHING READY.
FOR THE NOTIFICATION OF Nc
KINLEY OF HIS RENOMt.
NATION.
Will Be Much More Of an Even Than
Four Years Adjudication of
Plot Does Not Disturbe the Presi-
dent-Senator Clark of Wyoming
and Hawaiians Call on Mckinley.

Canton, July H. Preparations are
about completed for the notification Of
President Mckinley Of his renomina-
ton. Two large flags, one covering
the upper portion and the other draped
over the awnings OF the presidents
home in North Market street, are all
the decorations that will meet the eyes
of the visitors. Back of the house. a
large ent has been put up, and here the
notification committee will have
luncheon after the ceremonies are COM
pleted. The speaking will take place
from the famous from. porch of the Nc
Kinley residence, unless the weather
prevents, in which event the opera
house will be used. Canton is getting
ready for a large crowd. The local
committee having charge of the ar
rangements, say the notification will
be much more Of an event than four
years ago and , larger number of peo-
pie will be present, 1t is probable a
number of speeches besides those of
Senator Lodge and President Mckin-
ley will be made. Senator Hanna, Sen
ator Fairbanks and Representative
Taylor of this congressional district
are to be called on for short addresses.
The publication of the alleged plot
against President Mckinley did not
disturb him in the least. He drove out
with Judge Day this morning and
walked about the lawn and porch, chat
ting with visitors during the after
noon. During the day Senator Clark
Of Wyoming called with the delegation
from Hawaii, which participated in the
Philadelphia convention. There was a
| brief discussion of the affairs Of The
islands.
Comptroller Dawes arrived from
Washington this afternoon, and Sena-
| tor Fairbanks of Indiana this even
ing.
The campaign : 1900 at Canton will
not be a duplicate Of the campaign OF
1896. 1t is not the present intention OF
Mckinley to make speeches to dele
gates who may visit Canton during the
summer and fall, even if he should re
main here all the time. The presiden'
will be so much occupied with public
business hat he will have but little
time to devote to the campaign.

"If it is impossible for us to con

OFFICIALS INVESTIGATING.
Burt and Dickinson Are in Grand En-
campment Country.

President Burt and General Mana
ger Dickinson, of the Union Pacific
system, are making a tour of inspec-
ton of the Grand Encampment and
Battle Lake mining districts, says the
Rawlins Journal.
These officials arrived at Fort Steele
in their private cars yesterday morn
ing. A conveyance was in waiting and
they started at once for Saratoga. J
G.. Rankin met them there and will
conduct them to he various mines of
the district. Their cars were brought
to Rawlins and are now in the yards
here.
The officials are making this trip for
the purpose of personally investigating
the amount of business in sight for a
railroad in case the Union Pacific COM
pany should decide to build a line to
the mines. Surveying parties have
been at work for three weeks running
preliminary surveys from Fort Steele
and also from WOlcOtt.
These movements show that the mat
ter Of building this branch is nov be
ing seriously considered by the Union
Pacific management, but many have
doubts whether or not the line will be
built this year. It is possible that an
effort will be made to build the line as
far as Saratoga this fall.
1t is currently reported that a num-
Der of Denver, Boston and Chicago capt.
talists have been quietly a. work on

London, July u, $3.50 a. m.-The Chi
nese situation again bears a most omin-
IL aspect. Eighteen days ago Sir
Robert Hart dispatched his last mes
sage, declaring that the situation was
desperate, and since then no word has
come from the Europeans in Picking
save a private letter of the same date
received at Shanghai.
According to the Mails Shanghai cor
respondent, Ii Hung Chang has re-
ceived an imperial decree ordering his
immediate departure for Peking, pre-
sumably to break the news of the Pc
king tragedy to the European powers,
and in his usual role of negotiator
with Europe in difficult matters, to en-
deavor to act as mediator and avert
the vengeance Of the powers.
To add to the grimness Of this sug-
gestion, all advices from Tien-Tsin
tend &c confirm the reports Of the peril
Gus condition Of the allied forces and
believe the optimistic Chinese ru-
mors.
Unless reinforcements speedily reach
Tien-Tsin, another disaster may be ex-

Gen. Carnahan took station in the
center of the field, his army wheeled
right into company front and marched
in review in that formation. As the
head of each brigade passed the COM

SPECIAL CABINET MEETING.
President DsvOtinR Much Time to the
Troublesome Chinese TOpic-AnxYous to
Terminate Present state Of ARaIEs.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The calling
of a special cabinet meeting for
Wednesday morning to consider the
latest developments in the Chinese
situation, following a midnight con-
ference last night, emphasizes the
amount of attention the president is
devoting to this troublesome topic. 1t
is understood that the government is
better advised than it was yesterday
as to certain important elements of
the Pekin muddIe. The president is
DESTROYS of terminating the present
unsatisfactory state of affairs in China
as soon as this can be done with honor
and security, and providing the OBJ
jects laid down in his various notes
can be attained, he will consider that
the United States has performed it's
duty from a military point of view.
Therefore if our government can find
some responsible person with whom to
conclude an agreement, and such an
agreement can be arranged on ba-
sis that will fully conserve the rights
of the United States without infring-
ipg upon those of, the other powers,
speedy withdrawal of the United
States troops from China may be
expected and it is entirely possible
that Field Marshal Waldersee will not,
after all, exercise command over any
American troops in China.
