cord dressed ship. When United States
Commissioner WhippIe saw the British
nag waving in an American port he got
angry and, going aboard the GIenOra.
ordered the captain to haul it down.
Inc captain refused. Deputy Sheriff
Sullivan was then ordered to arrest the
audacious Britisher and then haul down
the flag. Rather than go to Jail the
captain hauled down the flag, but as
soon as Whipple was gone he jumped in
to the steamers dingy and was pulled
out to the Concord.
The British captain was not five min
utes aboard the gunbOat when a boat
was manned and, with an officer in the
stern, put away from the gunboat for
the GlenOra. As soon aa the steamship
was reached the officer and two of the
men went aboard and in "a few minutes
the flag hauled down because of Whip.

The Concord ran the British flag up at her
lore and began firing a national salute.
In this way Captain Knox did every
thing in his power to make amends for
the blunder aud there will be no inter
national difficulties in CONSEQUENCE.

Making Heroes of Youngers

Younger brothers spent Monday in visit
ing the sights of Saltwater. They dined
as guests of friends at the leading hotel
ana spent considerable time in riding on
trolley cars. There was a big crowd in
tne prison city to see the Youngers and
congratulate them. Many prominent
saltwater people have invited the Mis-
sourlans to their homes and innumer-
able invitations to outings have been
received. In all probability the paroIed
prisoners will live at the penitentiarv

Crop Failure in Siberia.

London, July 2O-A dispatch to the
Evening Standard from Odessa says
that according to the reports of special
agents the Siberian crops appear to be
nearly a total failure. In the great
grain producing regions OF Minussenisk
and krasnOyarsk almost the entire
growth OF cereals has perished as a re-
suit OF the two months drought. The
south Russian crop may be described on
the whole as fairly average, yet there
are destructive shortages in the pop
ulous districts in the EkatrnUslaff gov
ernment. The worst of all are the Volga
provinces. The peasantry of this vast
region are already practically destitute.
They have sold their horses they could
not iced and have consumed nearly their
whole scanty stocks of food and seed
grain. The Russian minister of ways
and communications is making active
preparation for the timely transporta-
ton Of food, grain and other supplies
from the south.

Shortage at the Mint.

San Francisco, July 19.-The work OF
counting the gold coin in the mint has
been completed by the experts in charge.
The amount inspected and weighed was
$47, 100000. The coin was found in
tact to the dollar, and has now been
checked up three times, by as many diff.
ferent sets of men, so there is no posi-
biIity of error. The completion of the
count sets at rest the theory that the
recent shortage of $4,000 at the mint
was result of a miscount. Nothing
whatever was disclosed by the secret
service agents or Superintendent Leach
relative to the search for the thief.

Heart burn.

When the quantity of food taken is
too large or the quality too rich, heart
burn is likely to follow, and especially
so if the digestion has been weakened by
constipation. Eat slowly and not too
freely OF easily digested food. Masticate
the food thoroughly. Let six hours
elapse between meals and when you feel
fullness and weight in the region OF
the stomach after eating, indicating
that you have eaten too much, take one
of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets and the heartburn may be
avoided. For sale bv F. j Stone.
