BEWARE OF A COUGH.

A cough is not a disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bron-
chitis, which are the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, have for their first
indication persistent cough, and if
properly treated as soon as this
cough appears are easily cured.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
proven wonderfully successful, and
gained its wide reputation and ex-
tensive sale by its success in curing
the diseases which cause coughing.
If it is not beneficial it will not cost
you cent. For sale by o. o.

A Vice Presidential Possibility.
[San Francisco Wave.l

San Francisco Wave.l
There are many indications that the
presidential nomination on the re-
publican ticket MAY come west. Men
wise in such matters say the vice-presi-
dent will be selected from the "far
west" News from Washington indi-
Gates that the western man whose name
meets with the most favor among party
managers in the east is Irving NJ. Scott,
builder of the peerless Oregon" and
Dewey's flagship the Olympia. The
strong points in favor of Mr.. Scott are
an intimate acquaintance with President
Mckinley and most OF the great party
leaders, who not only know him but re-
spect him for his ability and worth. He
is known the length and breadth of the
land As the man upon the integrity of
whose work this nation looked with
anxious eye when the Oregon was
steaming from San Francisco to Santi
ago. He is the man who, by the mar
velous performance Of that vessel,
proved to the American people that
every bolt, and plate, every piece of
mechanism in her noble hull was put
there in honor, and who, if elevated to
a high place, will carry with him the
same honorable purpose that has guided
the huge undertakings of his private
life. Mr.. Scott holds intelligent and
decided views on the question of eX-
pansion, and, what is more, he has the
ability to give public expression to them.
He is essentially man of the people.
He rose from the ranks. Was poor
boy, born in Maryland. Served his time
in the machine shops of Baltimore and
rose inch by inch, step by step, until he
has become one of the largest employers
of men in America. He will represent
all that is good on the Pacific coast, all
that makes for progress, all that makes
for broadening and enlarging the COM
merce of the Pacific. He holds to no
narrow and restricted views, the entire
coast is his field, and the handiwork of
his shopmen sail in every sea and every
cline. With Mr.. Scott in the vice.
presidential chair, the Pacific coast
would have in high place an honorable
representative man, willing and anxious
to serve its every interest. If the Pa.
cific coast will show some unity of pur-
pose in this matter, it may secure the
prize, or it may fritter away the oppor
tunity at cross purposes, and as usual
secure nothing. An admirer of FL
Perkins recently urged that gentleman
to allow his name to be used for this
nomination. Senator Perkins, afte
looking over the field of possibilities
answered as follows: 81 beg to say tina
under no circumstances am / candidat,
for the position of vice-president, no
would l accept it if rendered to me
: which, of course, there is not the leas
: probability of. | should, however. lik
very much to see some Pacific coas
, man upon the ticket, and among tn
many names that have been mentioned
l know of none that would bring NOR
= strength TO the ticket than Irving NJ
, Scott. He has national reputation a
the builder of the battleships Oregon
and Olympia. He is a mechanic, iden
titled with the interests of the Pacifi
coast states, is a gentleman of education
e character, wealth and influence"

THE REPORT DENIED.
Japan Not Likely to Take Independ-
ent Action in the Chinese Troubles.


LONDON, June 13.-In regard to the
reports that Japan is about to declare
war on China, it was learned by rep
resentative of the Associated Press at
the Japanese embassy to-day, that the
attitude of Japan in the Chinese crisis
is to cooperate Loyalty with the Euro
pean powers. In the existing situa-
ton, Japan would not be willing 10
see any single power take the lead.
The murder of the chancellor of the
Japanese legation at Pekin is regarded
as likely to lead to serious complica-
tons, but no decision has been reached
by Japan as to what political measures
will be necessary to meet the situa-
ton.
Relative to the report that the Japan
csc minister at Pekin is pressing for
the recognition of Japanese sphere
Of influence to include the provinces Of
Che Kiang, Fo-Kien and hiang-Si, it
is pointed out that Japan has already
obtained promise that the province
of Fo-Kien should be alienated, while
Yiang-Si. situated at the mouth of
the Yang-Tse river, is In the British
sphere. Japan is not likely to take a
step which might be distasteful to

To Take Place in the Little Catholic
Church at EIkins ON Saturday.

Church at EIkins on Saturday.
Special TO the Register.
ELKINS, w. Va, June 13.-St. Bren-
dams, the little Catholic Church here,
will be the scene of a most brilliant
nuptial event next Saturday. when Vim
cent Kerens, eldest son of Richard
Kerens, the well known capitalist and
Henry, beautiful and popular young
lady, of New York, will be married. In
keeping with the rustic surroundings
in this little country village, and with
the unassuming church in which the
ceremony will be said, the event win
be one beautiful in its simplicity, the
celebration of the event at this place
being matter OF sentiment. The orig
inal intention was to have the wedding
in the Cathedral, Miss Henry's church,
in New York, but owing TO the fact that
Mrs. Catharine Chambers Manning,
Mrs. Kerens' mother, could not make
the long journey to New York, and
partly because of the novelty of an
elaborate wedding in the country. Elk
ing was selected as the scene of the
event.

the groom, acting as flower girl and

Kerens, the grooms brother, will be

EMPRESS CHANGES FRONT.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Definite Of
fetal information was received here
this afternoon from the foreign Office of
one of the most important continental
powers stating that the Tsung Ii
Yamen had notified the minister of
that power at Pekin that the dowager
empress would not object to the pres
ence of foreign troops in China's terri
tory. This change of front came as a
distinct surprise to officials and diplo-
mats, as all the reports up to this time
had pictured the empress dowager as
intensely hostile to the foreigners, and
as the real spirit behind the boxers
anti-foreign uprising.
The empress dowager's acquiescence
in the plans o.. the powers is felt to re-
move the threatened complication, and
at the same time to give evidence that
the empress dowager is no longer yield
ing to the anti-foreign clamor.

Rebels are Entrenching.

LONDON, June IA, go a. m.-The
Chinese are entrenching outside of
Pekin to oppose the advance of the in
ternational column. A dispatch from
Tien Tsin dated Tuesday, June II,
says:
Il learn that the Chinese have guns
trained on the American mission and
the British legation.
Two thousand Russian cavalry and
infantry, with artillery, have landed
at Taku."
The Shanghai correspondents report
that United States Minister Corger, by
courier, asks for 1000 United States
troops.
The question of provisioning the re-
lief force is already difficult and it is
predicted at Shanghai that it will be-
come acute.
Pekin appears to be completely iso-
lated. None of the morning papers
or news agencies has a word from
there direct to-day The latest mes
sage received in London is the one an
nouncing that the Chinese are en-
trenching outside the capital.

THE ST. LOUIS STRIKE.
Indications That the Reign of Terror

Settled.

"a
is About Over-Strike May Soon be
Settled.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 13-To all ap-
pearances to-day witnessed the beginning
of the end of the riotous demonstrations
and scenes of bloodshed that have char
acterized the street railway strike for
cover a month past. In many quarters it
is thought the strike itself will soon be
settled. These opinions are based upon
statements of the chief of police and
sheriff that the critical stage has been
passed. and upon the fact that st. Louis
Transit company is slowly but surely APP
preaching complete resumption of bust
ness with the aid of non-union men.
The inquest over the bodies of the vic
Tins of Sundays riot began to-day. The
testimony adduced was not of a char
acter calculated to base a decision as to
which side was to blame for beginning
hostilities, the witnesses disagreeing on
material points. Some placed the blame
on the posse men and others placed it on
the strikers. Many contradictions have
arisen in the accounts of Sundays trag-
edy and these We're emphasized in the
testimony taken to-day.

HINIERED BY WATER.
Davis Coal & Coke Company Having
Trouble Sinking Their Shaft at

Henry.
Special to the Register.
KEYSER. w. Va, June 13-The
contractors for the digging of the
Davis Coal and Coke Company's shaft
at Henry are having considerable diff
ffculty with the water, it being next to
impossible to keep the water pumped
out so as to be able to accomplish any
thing. Two pumps have been busy
and another large one is being installed
this week. With these it is hoped that
the water can be kept out enough to
permit the hands to continue with the
work. Although work has begun in
February the shaft is now only So feet
deep, despite the fact that three shifts
of hands have been working, and that
only few hours time, save Sundays,
have been lost either night or day.
The shaft, when completed, will be 450
feet deep, and it is believed by the
contractors that when the water can
be disposed of they will be able to
sink fifty feet every "a hours The
shaft is 10x40 feet As soon as this
shaft is completed another shaft 10x40
feet and $50 feet deep will be sunk
Henry at this time is nothing more
than little village, but ii is conf
IDENTIFY believed that in comparatively
short time il will be as large as Thorn
as and equally as busy town.
