ROBBED A WOMAN.
Mas. Andrew Curney, of South Street,
Held Up by Tramps This Morning.


Mrs. Andrew Curney, of South street,
was held up and robbed this morning.
She was searching for her COW along
the road leading into town from White
Haven. She was few hundred yards
east of the new South Heberton school
building when she met two men who
asked her for money. Refusing to com
ply with their demand, she was struck
several blows by one of the men, while
tho other relieved her OF all the money
in her possession, amounting to 81.
Tho men appeared to be tramps, and
after robbing her commanded her to
walk mile eastward, for the purpose,
no doubt, Of giving them time to make
good their escape.
Mrs. Curney obeyed the men, fearing
that she would be again attacked If she
refused. She walked to the junction OF
the road leading into Sandy Run, and
there turned and came back to town by
the Carbon street route.
Upon her arrival here the police we're
notified OF the outrage, and Chief O'Don-
nell and Patrolmen Welsh and Molik
left at o'clock for Upper Lehigh tank,
where band OF tramps have made their
headquarters for some time past. The
officers have good descriptions of the
men,

SENATE FEARS
The MINERS
Store Order Tax Bill Is Re-
ported Favorably.
Advocates and Opponents
Given a Two-Hour Hear
ing on the Merits of the
Measure.

The Ferrebes company store tax bill
was reported out from the finance COM
mitee to the state senate last night after
there had been a two-hour hearing Of
the advocates and opponents Of this
measure, which places a tax OF 25 per
cent upon all orders upon company
stores given to laboring men in lieu Of
cash for wages. The committee adopted
an amendment offered by Congressman
Olmsted, aud the bill so amended was
reported out to tho senate.
William Wilhelm, ESQ.,, OF Schuylkill
county, representing the miners union,
and Representative Fsrrebee, author Of
the BILL addressed the committee in op-
position to company stores. Where
the company stores are operated" de-
clared Mr.. Wilhelm, "the miner does
not act like free human being. His
individuality is struck down and he
practically becomes a serf.
"This BILL" said Mr.. wilhelm, was
passed in 1887 and again in 1897, but
both times 1t was vetoed on the ground
that 1t was un constitutional. 1t is not
for the legal representatives. OF the
company store to say whether or not
this bill is constitutional. Lot that
question be met in the proper place, tho
supreme court" Mr.. Wilhelm closed
with = declaration that the bill should
become law in the interest OF many
thousands OF workingmon in Pennsyl-
vana.
Attorney Guy K. Farquhar, OF Potts
vile, representing the Mill Creek Coal
Company, led the fight against the bill.
He denied that the miners are compell-
cd to buy at the company stores. He
asserted that he could purchase where
he pleased. He charged that the bill
was not in the interest OF miners, as its
passage would only add to their ex-
penses.
81 do not hesitate to say" remarked
w. X. Woodbury., representing the Dob
son Coal Company, that should this bill
become law the miners would be the
first to come to Harrisburg and ask for
its repeal" He said there was no de-
mand for the passage OF the bill coming
from the minors Of his section.
E. ID. Smith, OF Pottsville, represent
ing the ]. c.. Bright Company, pictured
tho company store as a blessing. He
said miners could get goods cheaper from
the company store than they could else
whore.
Representative Ferrebee made an
earnest plea for the passage OF the bill.
Mr.. Ferrebee said he was informed
that Governor Stone is in sympathy
with the movement against the company
store evil and that in the event OF the
passage of the bill the governor could
be counted upon to sign II. He told OF
a strong sentiment among the miners
in favor of such legislation and of the
hardships they have had to endure
under the present system.

If people only knew what we know
about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would be
used in nearly every household, as there
are few people who do not suffer from a
feeling of fnlness after eating, beching,
tiatulence, sour stomach, or water brash,
caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A
preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia

mach, will digest your food, certainly

Fred Madison, the Well Known Circus
Man is Adiudged Insane in the
KenOsha County Court.
WAS CAUSED BY A SUN STROKE.
Unfortunate Man Has Been Violent For
Asylum at Oshkosh This Morning.

Fred Madison, the we'll known circus
man, who had been connected with the
Ringing Brothers circus for many
years, was Tuesday afternoon adjudg-
ed insane by Judge S1osson and this
morning he was committed to the state
asylum for the insane at Oshkosh.
Madison had been in mental trouble
for many months and at times his in
sanity had reached the violent stage
but his friends were DESTROYS of keep
ing him at home and every possible
effort was made to relieve the malady
During the past few days, however
Madison had been violent much of the
time and in his saner moments he
himself, desired that an effort be made
to cure him of the ma1ady which
usurped his reason. For this reason
his relatives asked that he be sent tC
the asylum.
It is said that the mental trouble is
during last sumner. He has beer
suffering from nervous disease dur
ing the winter months, and for this
reason he decided to give up his work
with the circus. Last Saturday, &C
companied by his wife and brother-in
law, he went 10 Chicago and paid &
visit to his old friends with the circus
He was given great reception and
the excitement of it all caused him t.
suffer intensely after he returned tc
the city. He again became violent
and it was necessary for his friends tc
be with him constantly.
Mr.. Madison has been known in the
circus world for many years. He en-
tered the business with Ringing
Brothers as song and dance artist in
the concert, but his ability for business
was such that he was soon advanced tc
the position of ticket seller. He turned
out an expert man on the ticket
wagon, and toured the world with
the circus in that capacity.
The doctors who examined the
stricken man are hopeful that few

SUPPOSED DEAD MAN RETURNS
Friends of Joe Keller Expected His Re-
mains, But He Turned UP in Person.

Joseph Keller, a Racine soldier, re-
ported shot and killed while engaged
in agbatt1e in the Philippines, and
whose body was expected to be shipped
to the United States, astonished and
made happy his relatives and friends
Tuesday by walking in on them and
asking for-the newspapers that con-
tanned his obituary notice. Not until
he reached the states did he learn that
his death had been reported and that
his friends n1ourned him a S dead and
he hurried home. Keller cannot ac-
count for the dispatches gave him as
being one of the killed for the reason
that he had not even been sick a day
and was not wounded.
Before the Spanish-American war
broke out Keller was engaged as a
mechanic here. He enlisted in Com
pany r, and went to Florida and re-
manned with the company until it re-
turned to Racine and was mustered out.
Liking army life, he enlisted in the
Thirtieth United States Volunteers
and went to Manila, remaining there
unti1 the company sailed for San
Francisco few weeks ago. He is not
favorahly impressed with the islands.
A soldier would have hard road to
hoe, he says. During the entire time
he was in the islands he was stationed
several hundred miles from Manila and
his company was kept fighting con-
tinual1y.
Keller is we'll known in Kenosha and
his many friends here will rejoice to
sound.
