Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats. and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble. because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,

A BLOODY SUNDAY
Half a Dozen st. Louis Strik.
ers Shot Down.
DEPUTY sHERIFFs DID SHOOTING
the City-MilitiA IL Being
Prepared for Action.

st. Louis. June l2.-The day just
ended has been one of the most event.
ful and bloody since the great strike ON
the st. Louis Transit began more than
q month ago. There were numerous
encounters between strikers and other
individuals and the constituted author
ties, resulting in four deaths and the
wounding of five or more persons,
mostly strikers. The dead are:
9. Edward Thomas. striking con-
ductor on the Choteau avenue line;
shot in breast by deputy sheriff; died
on the wav to hospital.
George Rine, striking motorman on
Delmar avenue line; shot in abdomen
by deputy sheriff; died at city hospital.
Fred Boehm, aged citizen, shot and
instantly killed while standing In his
front yard by deputy sheriff.
Ed Burkhardt, striking conductor on
Delmar avenue line; shot in head; may
die.
The day was quiet until this after
noon, when the police were taken of a
number of street Car lines for the pur-
pose of giving them rest and to test
the ability OF the Transit Company to
operate without friction.
The most serious trouble broke out
between 6 and O'Clock in front of the
six-stoIy building on Washington ave.
nue., between Broadway and Sixth
streets, occupied by the sheriff's posse
comitatus as barracks and head
quarters. Several hundred strikers
had gone to East st. Louis earlier in
the day to attend picnic given for
their benefit, and toward evening began
returning home. The trouble was pre-
cipated when $50 strikers in uniform
and headed by drum corps, came west
on Washington avenue. In their caps,
some of them had car,ls bearing these
words: Union or nothing; liberty or
DEATH"
Just as they were passing the bar
racks, a car of the Park avenue division
was going west. A number of the
men broke from the line and rushed for
the car which was without the usual
police guard. A brick was thrown
through the car window and shot was
fired by somebody not known.
At the first intimation of trouble the
sheriff's POSSE swarmed from the build
ing and surrounded the crowd of strik-
ers, calling on them to disperse. Other
shots were fired. Then several depu-
ties turned loose theii repeating shot
guns, loaded with buckshot. As far as
can be learned only four men in the
strikers ranks were hit. Not deputy
was wounded.
Under the command of Colonel Cav
ender, the deputies arrested 30 of the
strikers and took them into the barracks,
where they were searched. Three re-
volvers and a number OF pocket knives
were secured, and the prisoners were
taken to the Four courts, where they
were locked up pending an investigs-
tion. The remainder of the strikers
fed, followed by q squad Of mounted
police that had been summoned. They
dispersed without further trouble.

Brave Stand at Cstubir.

Bravo St0nO ot C8tuD1Gs
Washington, June 1l.-Perhaps the
most thrilling and picturesque incident
of the entire Philippine war occurred
at Catubig. on the island of Samar,
where, April l5 last. a party of 81 en-
listed men of company X. Forry-third
volunteers, held at bay force of some
600 insurgents during four days of fierce
fighting, reinforcements arriving just
in the nick of time. The war depart
ment has received reports from Captain
H. NJ. Day, of the Forty. third volunteer
infantry. and First Lieutenant j. 7.
Sweeney, of that regiment, who COM
manded the rescue party, giving all the
details of the attack, siege and the
relief.
According to the reports the attack
on the garrison at Catubig began with
out warning, Sunday morning, April
Is. From the hills on all sides, from
every point of vantage in the town and
from a deserted church directly adjoin-
ing came a rifle and cannon fire of ter
rible intensity. Tuesday morning,
handfuls of burning hemp were thrown
into the barracks from the insurgents
in the church and soon the soldiers
refuge was on fire. All efforts to SUBJ
due the fire failed. and, finally, the lit.
tie band, made dash for the river
bank. Some were killed before the
bank was reached, others fell dead in
boat in which it was intended to
make the opposite shore, and when a
trench was finally dug with bayonets,
only l6 of the 81 were left to man it.
Here, for two more days, Corporal Car
son, handling his men with the judg-
ment of veteran, held out under q
terrible fire until the arrival of Lieu
tenant Sweeney's command, which had
been ordered to supplement the garri-
son at Catubig, and which was on its
way up the river on the steamer Lao
Aug. Not until within quarter of Q
mile of Catubig. says Lieutenant
Sweeney, in his report, did they hear
the noise of the engagement. Then he
realized that he and his men were sore
ly needed and he ordered the captain
of the steamer to run his boat at top
speed. The Lao Aug steamed up to
Catubig under rain of Mauser bullets
from both shores. The small boats
were lowered, a landing effected, and
the rescuers fought their way through
the open to their comrades in the
trenches, buried the dead within reach,
brought back to the boat the besieged
party, mum bering now only Is men,
and then steamed down the river.

DOM PAUL TALKS.
Correspondent Fouad Him In . Car at
Machadodcrp.

London, June 1.-THE executive
Offices of the Trsnsvaal government are
in a railway car, which is shunted on
a switch at Machadodorp. President
Kruger caused the interior of the ch
to be reconstructed some time ago,
with view to contingencies that have
now arrived. A correspondent of the
Daily Express. who went from Lou.
renco Marques to see President Kruger,
was received yesterday. The presi.
dent sat smoking long pipe. He
looked worried, but his bearing itself
was quiet and determined. He did
not make the least objection to being
interviewed. The correspondent was
equipped for the interview by cables
from London.
YES" said President Kruger, 'it
is quite true that the British have oc-
cupied Pretoria. This, however, does
not end the war. The burghers are
fully determined to fight to the last.
They will never surrender so long as
500 armed men remain in the country.
l feel encouraged by the fine work
Steyn and Dewet are doing in the Free
State"
The correspondent suggested that the
war was over, inasmuch as the capital
had been taken.
'"The capital" exclaimed President
Kruger, with energy, "what is a capi.
tai? 1t does not consist OF any particu-
lar collection of bricks and mortar.
The capital of the republic, the seat of
the government, is here in this car.
There is no magic about any special
site. Our country is invaded, it is
true, but it is not conquered. The
government is still effective"
Referring to the reason why he left
Pretoria, President Kruger said:
81 was not foolish enough to be
taken prisoner. provided this means
of locomotion precisely for the same
reason as our burghers supply them.
selves with horses when they take the
field. 1t is necessary that i should be
able to move quickly from place to
place. That is all. Bye and bye this
car will take me back to Pretoria. For
the present, it enables me to keep
away from Pretoria, where l could be
of no sevrice and where 1 should only
play into the hands of the enemy"

New York, June A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Con.
sideration is being given by the state
department to the extent of the liabili-
ty of the United States for $24O, ,683,
the amount of the award against Mex
leo disbursed to L'Abra Silver Mining
Company. As result of the decision
of the United States supreme court that
the award was obtained by fraud and
setting it aside. Secretary Hay has re-
turned to Mexico $403, 900 which had
not been disbursed. A bill has been
introduced in the senate appropriating
and authorizing the return of $24O, 683
to the Mexican government.
