GETS HIS DANDER UP.

New York, Jan.25-Considerable COM
ment has been excited locally by a
story printed by a morning paper about
Kid. Mccoy and some trouble he had
at White Plains, N. Y, with the Young
Mems Christian association people of
that place. 1t was there or near there
that Mccoy prepared himself for his
fights with Peter Maher and Joe Choyn-
ski.
It appears that while the kid" was
under Bill Muldoon's care his presence
was the cause of a number of lively
comments from the better element"
Mccoy heard of these. but made no re-
ply to them. He was seldom seen about
the town and refused to make any
friends
Later the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION people wanted him to aid
them in some cause and Mccoy prompt
ly had his revenge. This is the way the
story comes from White Plains:
1T became common gossip today that
kid" Mccoy, prize fighter, has lost a
host of friends among the young sport
ing element in White Plains. Mccoy
has refused to contribute his services
or give financial aid to an entertain
ment to be given for the benefit of the
Young Mems Christian association of
the town.
MCCOY DECLINES TO AID.
Superintendent of Schools S. R.
Shear and the secretary of the local as
sociation called on Mccoy at his home
here and asked his aid. Mccoy in hot
terms informed him that, as he(McCOy)
was ostracized from that order fy rea-
son of his calling. there was to be no
help expected from him either in spar
ring, posing or financial aid.
Superintendent Shear was seen last
evening and said that Mccoy had re-
fused to contribute to the Young Mems
Christian association entertainment
and added that the association had no
place in its social circle for him.
Mccoy left town yesterday for three
weeks in Florida to recuperate his
health. Before he left he said to a
friend While talking about the affair:
AS my wife and I walk down the street
that class of people say, There goes

respect for me "

CLOSED ITS MINES.
One of the Big Four Companies Sus-
ponds Operations.

Pittsburg, Kan, Jan. 25.-The report
comes from every shaft in this county
and Cherokee county operated by the
Kansas & Texas Coal company, that all
this company's shafts, slopes and strip
pits have suspended work, with excep-
but even there the order has been given
to shut off operations this afternoon
and shaft No. 81 is closed tight since
Saturday afternoon.
From Weir City comes the report of
existing differences between the COM
pany and W. H. Barrett, the lessee of
it's mines Nos. 40, % and I, and these
are also idle, according to the reports
brought to this city.
The Kansas & Texas Coal company's
suspension of work is regarded as a
victory for the union, which it fought
so bitterly.
The non-union miners are in a bad
box now. They are out of employment.
What they will do now is what inter-
ests the union men. who remained
steadfast. Some of them would gladly
Join the union now if it would feed
them. It is an awful blow to non
unionism, this shutting down of the K.

temporary, for their employees have not
been able to establish out of their toll a
credit except at the company store, and
these miners. black and white, are VI
against a hard proposition.
The Central Coal & Coke company is
estimated to be losing $500 a week or
the operation of it's Nelson mines, but
the condition of this shaft is such thai
it "creeps," and it must be kept in OPP

The K. & T. miners are crowding the

anxious to discover what this latest

MEEKs HAD MONEY BURIED.
Lynched Murderer Carried Secret to
the Grave

Fort Scott, Jan. 25.-The officers of
this city have just given out the facts
regarding a. secret which George MeekS,
one of the murderers who was lynched
in this city last Saturday, stubbornly
carried to the grave with him. 1t is
relative to $500 which they believe him
to have buried before his arrest.
It seems that during his confinement
in Jail here, and when he began to re-
alize that the crime of the brutal muir
der of Leopold Edlinger for the purpose
of robbery would be fastened upon him.
he wrote to his wife, Mrs. Mollie Meeks,
at Pueblo, Col, and asked her to come
to see him, telling her that he had $500
planted and that he wished to COM
municate the secret of it's hiding place
to her. Meeks was professional rob-
Der and a. desperate man, and the Off
GERS attribute some of the most success
full rObberieS in this part of the country
to him and his gang. They think it
quite probable that he hid that much
stolen money before he was captured
just a few hours before he was lynched
Sheriff Brooks received a, letter from
the sheriff of Pueblo, notifying him that
Mrs. AIollie Meeks held letters from her
husband, communicating to her the fact
that he had the money hidden and ask
ing her to come; that she had not the
money necessary to bring her here and
was trying to raise it
Mr.. Brooks intended to take Meeks
out Sunday when all was quiet and
question him regarding the hidden
treasure. When the mob was battering
down the jail doors Saturday evening
the sheriff was in the jail, and knowing
that the Meekes realized how near their
end was, thought he would, perhaps,
communicate the secret to him, that he
might inform his wife. The prisoner
was lying on his cot, bleeding to death
from a bullet wound he had received
a few moments before from an officers
pistol in his battle with a half dozen
men.
George" said the sheriff, in a kindly
tone, is there any word you want to
leave to your folks. If there is I'll prom
Use you that I'll deliver it to them all
right. I'll take it down in writing for
you and no one shall know what it is. !"
The condemned man replied with the
same deliberate, defiant Nothing what
ever" that he spoke in the court during
his trial in response to questions as to
whether he desired to ask each witness
anything.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff
fectuaI Cure For It

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or Watery risings,
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs, and difficult
breathing, headaches, tickle appetite.
nervousness and a general played out,
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inter
ior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inhamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the ca
tarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diastase,
Aseptic Pepsin, 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 patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and assurance
gestion will follow their regular use
after meals.
Mr.. n. J. Booher of 271O Dearborn St,
Chicago, Ill, writes: "Catarrh is a
local condition resulting from a neglect
ed cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose becomes infiamed
and the poisonous discharge therefrom
passing backward into the throat reach
es the stomach, thus producing catarrh
of the stomach. Medical authorities
prescribed for me for three years for
| catarrh of stomach without cure, but
today 1 am the happiest of men after
using only one box of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets. 1 cannot find appropriate
words to express my good feeling. I
have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of
stomach, b1l1ousness, sour stomach.
