Mitchell Will Not Talk.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. Sept. 23.-Presi-
dent Mitchell declined to make any
comment today on the action of Sher-
if Schadt of L~ackawanna county in
calling on Governor Stone for troops.
1t is known, however, that he is dis
pleased with the strikers for pursu-
ing a curse which prompted the sher-
if to make the appeal to the governor.
Only a week ago President Mitchell
counselled all his following to keep
the peace. National board members
think the action of the Lackawanna
authorities may be the of sup
pressing marches, picketing and other
demonstrations, but it will not give
the operators any other advantage.
On the other hand, the operators feel
confident that under the protection
Of the military the men will gradually
return to work.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-If> the United

ished, according to the imagination
Of a writer in Washington, it is with
out the knowledge Of Leslie M. Shaw,
secretary of the treasury. The Sec
rotary, who usually has some idea
of what is going on in government
financial circles, said today In Chi
cago that the Washington was
absolutely baseless.

that anything of the kind was even
being considered. cannot suggest
any meal at this time in case Of a
depleted treasury. But / will say this
much, that II any such easur as
the abolishing of sub-treasuries has
been under consideration, President
Roosevelt would have mentioned the
matter to me. I am absolutely at a
loss to understand how. any such re-
port could have been sent out.

been up for discussion for nearly 80
years, but that is as far as it has

PRESIDENT FORCED TO ABANDON.
WESTERN TRIP.
TO UNDERGO AN OPERATION
Abscess Forms on Left Leo az Result
Of Recent Trolley Ac.
cident.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 23.-As a re-
suit of the trolley accident at Pitts
field, Mass, the president received
several bruises. One of these on the
left leg between the knee and the
ankle has developed into q small
abscess. The president Is entirely
well otherwise and has continued to
meet the engagements Of his itinerary,
but in view of the continuousness of
the abscess, Drs. Collier and Cook
of Indianapolis were requested to
meet DR.. Lung, the presidents physi-
clan at Indianapolis, DR.. Richardson
of Washington, D. c., being also one
of the number.
In the opinion of the doctors the
trouble necessitates an operation
which they think should be performed
at once at st. Vincent's hospital in
this city. After the operation, the
president will require complete rest,
probably for ten days or two weeks.
1t has been necessary to cancel all
the remaining engagements Of his
trip and he will go directly from In
dianapolis to Washington this even
ing.
The physicians say that the case is
not in any way serious and there is
no danger whatever. This statement
is made that no further rumors may
disturb the people and that they may
be authoritatively advised of the ex-
act nature OF the case.

Two Men Shot.

Lebanon. Pa, Sept. 23.-The city
was in a state of excitement all night.
There was the firing of revolvers for
hours in the vicinity of the American
Steel and Iron works, where a strike
is in progress. Several negroes were
terrified. About midnight William
Hoffman, aged II, was shot and he
died today. He was a messenger in
the office of the American Iron and
Steel company. He was going home
from an entertainment when shot. To
day the plant is surrounded by a
threading crowd.
The streets are filled with excited
people this afternoon and the plant
of the American Iron & Steel company
is under guard. There was a most
resentful feeling against the colored
iron workers brought here from the
south. Today, a Lebanon citizen re.
ceived a flesh wound from q bullet
fred by an unknown person.

Prominent Official Describes Condi-
tions-The Only Way to
Obtain Peace.

London, Sept. 23.-The Associated
Press is in a position to
that diplomatic relations between
Great Britain and Venezuela are on
the verge cf being severed.
Any day, almost any hour, may
bring the announcement that the Brit
ish minister at Caracas has been CIV
tn his passports, with corresponding
action toward the Venezuelan repre-
sentative in London.
The present diplomatic relations are
SO strained that to quite a RESPONSE
Bile British official it would make a
really very little difference if the fact
became public property by. the alb
scence of the diplomatic representa-
tives from Caracas and London.
According to the British govern
ment's understanding, 9Palos island
belongs to Great Britain just as much
as Trinidad and as far az known, no
question as to- it's ownership has ever
arisen. Inhabitants of the island have
recently been endangered through the
| action of Venezuela whether by the
government or the revolutionary par
tizans is not known. For purposes of
! protection, the local West Indian au-
thorities ordered the British flag to
be prominently displayed on the is
land, hence the protest which the
forntrr ~ EEoo COWS ic ra1v Nnn s Of
many.
A prominent Venezuelan official
said to a representative Of the Asso-
ciated Press:
affairs in Venezuela are so hope
| lessly muddled that we can get moth
ing done. There is no. concealing the
fact that the Venezuelan government
has made heated protests to our min
lister. The chief grievance appears to
be the allegation that the British gov
eminent is aiding the revolutionary
army. 1t is needless to say that this
is perfectly baseless. We only wish
the United States would take owe
the whole country and then perhaps
we could get some peace. OF all the
disturbances of the last decade the
present seems to be the worst.
This, combined with the attitude of
the nominal government, makes us
somewhat Indifferent to any action
which may take place. The Vene-
zuelans appear to have increased
their recklessness, thanks chiefly to
what l presume is the mistaken no
ton that Washington will protect
them from the results of their own
folly however inimical that might be
TO the lives and property Of British
subjects and those of other Euro
peans. AS we understand Monroeism,
Venezuela is quite mistaken in this
matter. though apparently the impress
sion has much to do with her present
action

VENEZUELA PROTESTS.
Objects to British Seizure Of PaIos
Island.

4a.uN. HaS fHH.. EHtI
Port of Spain, Trinidad, Sept. o.
The Venezuelan government has pro-
tested against the action OF Great
Britain on raising the flag ons the Is
land Of Palos, on the ground that the
sovereignty is vested in Venezuela
and not in the British government.
The controversy is old, similar protest
having been made in 1859 and in
1867.
Great Britain claims the island by
virtue Of the treaty Of Amiens, signed
in 1902, according to which Trinidad
was coded to the English. The Brit
ish consider that the Island Of Palos
is tributary to Trinidad.
y Venezuela contends that the island
was not mentioned in that treaty.

Ipswich, S. D., Sept. 23.-J. Web
Lewis, cashier of the First National
bank here, former county treasurer,
and n of the leading citizens Of
the county, whose arrest upon the
charge of robbing the county treasur-
er's vault of $4,000 astounded Ed
munds county, has confessed his guilt

Lewis came here many years ago,
a graduate of Harvard. He soon be-
came a deputy treasurer, then treas
urer, and lastly deputy auditor. He
acquired land holdings until he had
the most valuable lands of any man
in the county.
Shortly after he left the auditors
Office, the G. w. Brown banking com
pany of New York established the
First State bank and made him cash
Ter and virtual manager.
This summer the accounts in the
treasurer's Office became tangled, and
Lewis was called in to straighten them,
as he knew more about them than
any man in the county. 1t was short
ly after this hat $4,000 in gold was
missed from the treasurer's vault.
Lewis was the first to tell the news
to the county commissioners and
termed it a dastardly crime. He was
the first to cast suspicion upon his
own brother-in-law, deputy sheriff, and
| upon Ward McCafferty. He told the
detective McCafferty had very fine
furniture for a mar of his salary. So
the detective took an inventory and
found that of the furniture, all but
SIS worth had been given him. Then
Lewis suggested McCafferty had been
living high, and the detective. inves-
tigating, found McCafferty did in fact
spend SIS a month.
About this time Lewis boarded an
east-bound train. The detective went
with him as far as Aberdeen, and
found Lewis was going to Minneapo-
lis. The detective wired Minneapolis
and from the time Lewis left the
train till he departed from Mime
2polis an unknown nan Swallowed
him. He found Lewis changing $40
gold pieces in saloons and cigar stores
and finally saw him exchange all the
remainder Of the $4,000 of gold for
currency at a Minneapolis bank
When Lewis returned, his detective
called at the First State bank to see
him.

"That so?" queried Lewis. "Who

I'm talking to him now,' was the
reply. With that the detective de.

claring in all his career he had not
seen so dastardly an effort to convict
an innocent man, ever his own
brother-in-law, of a crime CT which
he knew he was guilty.
Lewis merely whistled as he left
the bank.
But he confessed, paid over all the
money. and now spends all his time

come so critical that troops may be
ordered there by Governor Stone
within "a hours. A self constituted
committee of citizens Of Lebanon
waited upon the governor this after

furnished the city with military pro-
lection. The committee represented
that the civil authorities were un-
able to maintain order and that the
presence of troops was absolutely
necessary.

Life Gnards.

The Lie Guards are two regiments Of
calvary forming part OF the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart is
proud OF them. Not only the King s
household. but yours, ours, every body S
should have its life guards. The need OF
them is especially great when the great
est foes OF life, diseases, find allies in the
very elements, as colds, influenza, ca
tarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in the
stormy month OF March. The best way
that we know of to guard against these
diseases is to strengthen the system with
Hoods Sarsaparilla--the greatest of all
life guards. II removes the conditions in
which these diseases make their mos,
successful attack, gives vigor and tone
to all vital organs and functions, and
imparts genial warmth to the blood.
Remember the weaker the system the
greater the exposure to disease. Hood $
Sarsaparilla makes the system strong.
