Cherry PectOral

the most effective remedy Tor coughs
of every kind and in every stage.
One of the most annoying coughs is
. throat cough, where you have that
constant tickling in your throat. IL
comes on worse at night, keeps you
awake, and makes you have that
smothered feeling in the chest. IL
hardly seems possible what one dose
of Cherry Peetoral will do 1or Ihis
kind of cough, it brings such marked
relief.
Put up in large and small bottles.
When the cough gets down deep in
the chest and the lungs, are painful,
put one of Ayers Cherry Pectorai
Plasters directly over the tender lung.
1t will draw out all the soreness.

New York. June 15.-While the
United States transport ingalls, was in
the Balance dry dock at the Erie basin
this afternoon she suddenly slipped
from the blocks and capsized. One
man is known to have been killed and
many injured.
There were supposed to have been
80 Italian laborers in the hold of the
ship. Their fate is unknown.
While the workmen were trying to-
escape the dock itself, overbalanced
by the weight of the ship, turned on
its side and sank in so feet of water.
A number of the men were borne down
into the water and jammed beneath
the wreckage which rose to the surface.
How many were caught could not be
learned tonight.
Martin Anderson was killed outright
Others were dragged out of the water
badly injured and half dead, and hur-
ried ii the hospitals.

Conroe. Texas, June 15.-At about
1890 o'clock this morning the inhab-
itants OF Conroe were aroused from
their peaceful slumbers by an alarm
that the town was on fire. The first
to appear on the place where the fire
originated reported that the rear end
of ]. Wahrenberger & Co.'s business
house was seen to blaze up very sud-
denly. 1t was soon manifest to all
that nothing could check the ravages
OF the fire without the destruction of
nearly all the houses along the track
of the International and Great North
saving anything possible out of the
different places Of business before the
fire could spread over the whole city.
There was very little wind at the
time Of the fire, else the result would
have been enough to wipe the town
from the face of the earth. The town
had no fire protection, and, water be-
ing very scarce, little could be done
in the way of fighting the flames.
By hard work the union depot was
saved, but every structure from that
point along the railroad track on the
west side Of the street was burned I'M
til the residence of Mr.. John Wahren-
berger was reached, by which time the
flames had spent their force, The east
half of blocks 1. and of Ayers adj
dition, which yesterday contained over
twenty buildings, is today but mass
of ruins. Outside of this territory
there were two warehouses on the
right Of way of the International road
destroyed and the Office of DR.. w. ].
Gulledge in the west half of block 1,
Ayers addition, as we'll.
Business is almost entirely suspend
ed today, while very few plans are be-
ing made for the future. On June "a
Of last year the town was visited by
fire that destroyed half a block.
No lives were lost and the only Sc
rious injury received was by John
Hannah, Houston boy, who has re-
sided here for the past year of two,
and who, remaining in burning
building longer than was safe, jumped
from the second story to the ground,
thereby receiving a fracture to inc OF
the bones in his foot
1t is the general belief that the fire
was of incendiary origin.

Beaumont, Texas, June 17.-BeS.u-
mont has so nearly returned to nor
NAL conditions that a baseball game
yesterday afternoon attracted more
people than the old field. However,
there was little doing at the oil field,
most of the rigs being shut down in
Observance of the day,
The drill at the Hogg-Swayne well
was running, but the we'll has not yet
come in. 1t is said that the contractor
was mistaken as to the depth he had
reached and must now drill entirely
through the cap rock before the well
can, come in. A two-inch pipe with n
four-inch drill is being used. Three or
four more days work may be neces-
sary on the well.
The Beatty we'll. on the Hogg-
Swanye tract has reached depth Of
800 feet and the Citizens Consolidated
well, on the same tract, is at similar
depth.
The Bonanza well, near Netherlands,
ten miles south of Beaumont, has
reached depth of $50 feet. At the
depth of eighty feet and again at 1870
feet the drill passed through logs or
some wooden substance, the wood be-
ing Dated to the surface with the dis
charge water
While three or four wells on Spindle
Top are very close to the oil level, it
is not known when any of them will
come in.
George Bitten, aged 25, who was in
charge of the work of the Federal
building, died yesterday morning Of
typhoid fever.
The Hogg-Swayne syndicate has
sold another half acre of it's land, the
Ira o. Wyse Oil company being the
purchasers. The price paid was $751;

Fsnrful MARINE pIsaster.

New York, June 15.-The wooden
sidewheeler Mortified of the Staten Is
land Steamship company was rammed
last night by the steel propeller Mauch-
chunk, used as ferryboat by the Cen
trail railroad of New York, and twenty
minutes after the Mortified, which
was crowded with passengers, sank at
the outer end of the Spanish pier, in
the East river. The Manufacturing,
which was badly damaged, landed two
dozen passengers who were aboard Of
her. over hundred of the passengers
of the sunken Northfeld were dragged
out of the water by people along shore
and the crews of the fleet Of river tugs
which promptly responded to the ferry
boats call for help. A few Of the
Northfield's passengers were hurt in
the accident and the police believe
that some lives were lost.
Captain Daniel Gulley Of the tug
boat Mutual. who saw the crash, says
that Immediately after the collision
between twenty-five and thirty Of the
passengers leaped into the water and
that many of those persisted. Captain
Gulley also declares that he is sure
over 100 of the Northfeld's passengers
were drowned. The captains Of other
tugboats who were early on the scene,
however, are inclined to think that the
disaster was not so serious as regards
tho loss Of life. Thus far no dead
bodies have been recovered.
The tug Mutual saved in all about
seventy-five persons and the the tugs
Unity and Arrow saved between them
150 persons. Two policemen OF the
Old Slip station claim to have rescued
nearly thirty people between them

MORE BLOODSHED.
SHERlFF'S POSSE RAN INTO A
BAND OF MExICANS.
One Mexican Was Killed, One Wounded
and Four Captured--Man Who Fed the
Gang Leader Strung Up--other Posses
out--The Trail Struck.

San Antonio, Texas, June 16.-Sher-
if John W. Tobin yesterday received
information that posse in the Guada-
lupe Valley in Gonzales county had run
into band of Mexicans, supposed to
belong to the same party that killed
Sheriff Glover. and in fight with
them killed one. wounded one and
captured four. This report came from
Floresville and Stockdale. Sheriff To-
bin was also informed by telephone
that Sheriff Jackman of Hays county
and Mayor Emmett White Of Austin
are on the trail of a Mexican who an
swers exactly the description of Gre
gorio Cortez, the murderer of Sheriff
Glover. The report said that Sheriff
Jackman was only ten miles behind
him, and that the Mexican was riding
a splendid horse. He was armed with
three siXshooters and had cut several
telephone wires. Another report re-
ceived by Sheriff Tobin was that three
Mexicans had stolen three horses out
q fine bunch near Campbellton, and
had escaped in the direction of Til
den. One of Captain Rodgers rangers
is reported to have started from Alice
in that direction. Sheriff Van of Kerr
county telephoned that he was just
starting from Falls city with posse.
He was coming east.

sherin Glover Murdered.

Gonzales, Texas, June 15.-Sheriff r.
M. Glover and his deputy. Henry
Schnabel, were last night shot and in
stantly killed while trying to effect
the arrest of the Mexican who muir
dered Sheriff Morris of Kanres county
two days ago near Kennedy.
The Mexican who killed Schnabel
was shot by Posseman Parker, BROTH
er-in-law of Sheriff Morris, and it is
said that his wound is sure to result
fatally; he probably will not live long
enough to be brought here. A woman
was also shot by accident, but the ex-
tent of her injury is not known.
The posse, headed by Sheriff Glover,
ran into the party at o'clock last
night some miles from town on the
San Marcos river. AS the sheriff
reached the house the firing began
and he fell dead with Schnabel SO
badly wounded that he lived but a
short time.
The double murderer succeeded in
making his escape again, but the
whole countryside is now alive with
armed men and there is small doubt
that he will be run to earth in a short
time. Inasmuch as two of the most
popular sheriffs in this section of the
State have met death at his hands
within three days it is believed that
he will again show fight. but against
overwhelming odds next time. His
route having now been ascertained,
and there being SO many determined
men after him, it should not be many
many hours before the news of his
death reaches here.

Marlin. Texas. June i'm excavat-
ing for sand and gravel near this place
the steam shovel of the International
and Great Northern railroad company
unearthed fossil bones of number of
human beings. The skulls and other
bones of some of these remains are
very large. The manner Of burial and
shape of skulls give decided evidence
of the discoveries being the remains
of Indians, probably deposited there
at a time in the remote past, when the
red man was supreme in this now pros
porous section OF Texas. Farmers are
offering 81 day for cotton choppers,
yet the usual town loafers are still
hanging about the streets.

Orange, Tex, June 15.-Patillo Hig-
gins of Beaumont bought 1900 acres
of fine rice land from Oliver Bland
today for 100000. This is one of the
finest bodies of prairie land in the
county and lies for several miles
along Cow Bayou and reaches to Sa-
bine Lake. Mr.. Higgins only recent
ly bought 1850 acres of similar land
Immediately across the bayou, and
both tracts have the Sabine River for
their south boundary with navigable
water running from north to south
straight through them. Those who
claim to know all about oil lands in
sist that the Higgins purchases carry
as many surface signs as did Jeffer-
son County lands where oil was found.

Facts as to the Situation Therein, Which
Is Improving-Their Cost.
London, June 21-In a speech in
London A. j. Balfour, government
leader in the house of commons. re-
ferred to the charges of barbarity to
women and children in the British con-
centration camps in South Africa.
Balfour said that naturally it was the
desire of everybody that these people
should possess every comfort, but it
was an absolute military necessity to
clear certain parts of the country. This
could only be done by removing pro-
visions and stock from farms and
leaving the Women and children to
starve or taking them to camps where
they could be provided with food and
shelter.
The correspondent of The Times at
Bloemfontein sends long report in
regard to the concentration camps,
covering the period up to the end Of
May. The average mortality rate was
11676 per 1000 He adds: "This
may seem high. but many reasons
have conduced to this rate. which is
now decreasing rapidly. The Beers
have never been used to living together
in large numbers, and they are abso-
lutely without appreciation of the ne
cessity of sanitary cleanliness. The
women also take small care of their
children"
The magnitude of the task of feed
ing these people IS shown by the fact
that eighty-eight tons of foodstuffs
were imported for the refugees week
ly, despite the heavy military require
ments on the. railway. Schools have
been establisheu in the camps and edu-
cation is conducted in English. At
tendance is voluntary. but all parents
have shown an alacrity in having their
children educated. Up TO Nav n
S291.500 had been spent In maintain
ing the camps.
