RUN OVER BY AN ICE WAGON.
Burr whitbeck Meets With Serious In
jury on the West side This Morning.

Burr Wh;tbeck well known young
man of the city, residing on Lyman
avenue and in the employ of the Keno
sha Ice Company, met with very
serious accident this morning while
delivering ice for the company in the
western part of the city. Wh1tbeck
had Just been in a house with ice and
returning to the wagon he leaped up to
the seat just as the horses started and
a sudden turn threw him from the seat
directly in front of the wagon. One
of the rear wheels of the wagon, which
was loaded with ton and half of
ice, passed completely over his breast.
He was picked up and taken to his
home and DR.. Kimba11 called to attend
him. For a short time after he ar
rived OF his home he was UNCONSCIOUS
and suffered a great deal from the
shock from the accident.
The doctor reports that no bones
were broken, but it is not possible to
tell at the present time as to whether
or not the young man met with in
ternal injuries. He is terribly bruised
and is suffering great deal of pain
and it will undoubtedly be several
weeks before he is able to return to his
work on the wagon again.

TWO BAD BOYS.
Two Roys From Brighton Attempt to Hold
UP woman Out in Pleasant Prairie.

The towns of Pleasant Prairie and
Brighton were in Juror yesterday, on
account of an attempt made by two
boys to hold up an old woman, who
was pedd1ing through the country.
The boys, whose names could not be
obtained, are alleged to have stopped
the woman on the road and demanded
a pair of sleeve holders. The woman
said that she did not have anything of
the kind, and the boys proceeded to
make an investigation of the stock.
They found very little that they
wanted, .but as they started TO go away
the woman drew a revolver and at
tempted to defend herself. The boys
jumped on her and took the weapon
away and then proceeded to assault
her. They made all sorts of indecent
proposals to the woman, but finally
some other people were sighted on the
road and the boys took to their heels.
Later in the afternoon the boys were
captured near the Brighton church
and taken before a county justice,
who discharged them. The officers
were quite wroth over the action of
the Justice, and claim that there was a
good cause for action against the boys.

sia's Proposal to Retire to Tien Tsin.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Following its
announced policy, the state depart
ment is preserving silence us to the
progress Of the negotiations now
afoot respecting the withdrawal OF
troops from Pciin. It is gathered,
however, that up to date no definite
responses have been received TO our
last communication to the powers on
this subject. II is stated that, in all
probability, at least week will be
consumed in diplomatic exchange.
In that time one or two things may
happen. Russia may yield to what
appears to he the wish Of nearly all
the powers and refrain from carrying
out her purpose to withdraw from
Pekin or the United States forces also
will he marched out. II is clearly the
wish OF our government that the
first of these lines of action shall be
taken.
The quartcrmastcr's department
has sent to Taku enough supplies for
that department TO furnish the 5000

that small detachment will remain

The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tones are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tones shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Groves its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
