BOWLING TOURNEY ON
First Scores Made at Buffalo Are
POor-On New
Alleys.

Buffalo, y. V. Jan. 21.-With every
condition favoring a record-breaking
event, the second annual United
States bowling championship began
here last night at the Palace alleys.
The two opening series were con-
fined almost entirely to Buffalo
teams, fifteen of the eighteen that
participated being from the bison
city, two from New York and one
from Chicago.
The Western New York Athletic as
sociation, which has charge of the
tournament, has provided the con
testants with eight splendid alleys,
the only drawback being the limited
accommodations for spectators. As
il turned out, this was quite made
quate for the occasion, a large num-
ber being turned away.
The scores of the first eight teams
to roll were as follows:

| Washington. Jan. 21.-Only meager
details of the fighting between the YES
sells of the Colombian government and
| those of the insurgents in Panama bay
were received in official circles yes
| terday. They consisted of a dispatch
| from Consul General Gudger. at Pan
ANA. and another from Captain Mead,
| the commander of the cruiser Philadel-
phia. which is lying in Panama bay.
| The first was from Gudger and simply
announced that there was fighting in
the bay and that the governor had
been killed. Captain Mead's cable
was longer. and said: The insurgent
steamer Padilla attacked the Lautaro
yesterday morning at close quarters.
Crew has deserted her. 1t is now on
fire and sinking

ships. the government boats being the
Lautaro. Chicuito and BOyaca, while
the rebels had the Padilla. Darien and
Gaitan. None of these was Il war

and ii is supposed that the slaughter
was terrible. The following dispatches
are all from Panama and dated Jan.
20. They are given in the order re-
ceived:
General Carlos AIban. the military
commander of this district and the gov
ernor of Panama, was killed during
the fighting this morning. His death
Is deeply deplored. for General Alban
was loved by his soldiers and enjoyed
the esteem of the community. 1t is
asserted that the death of the ColOm-
bian leader may have the effect Of
bringing to the government side large
numbers of men anxious to avenge his
loss. Some of the men killed on board
the government ship LautarO have
been brought ashore, where they are
being buried"
Lautara Catches Fire and sinks.
THE Lautaro is on fire. The revolu-
tiOnary gunboat Darien, as this dis
patch is written, is approaching the
United States cruiser Philadelphia in
the harbor, presumably for the purpose
of conference. The firing has ceased.
1t is impossible to locate the revOlu-
tionary gunboats Padilla and Gaitan.
The crew of the Philadelphia is assist
ing to put out the fire on board the
I-autarO. 1t is rumOred here on shore
that the firing of the LautarO is re-
suit of treason"
'Later-The Lautaro has just sunk.
1t is reported here that her crew re-
beIled.'
Rebels Surprised the Government.
THE revolutionary gunboat Padilla

cers--Proceedings of

Meredith, eX-employe of the National

session of the United Mine Workers

against President Mitchell, Secretary
Wilson and the executive board that
they had ''willfully lied" to the min
ers' committee a year ago regarding
the shortage of eX-Secretary of the
Treasury Pearce. 1t was intimated
Mitchell and Wilson sought to pro-
tect Pearce by failing to give out the
facts concerning his action. An in
vestigatiOn of the books was demand
ed to see how much the shortage
amounted to.

Report of President Mitchell.
The most important business tran
sacted yesterday was the reading OF
the presidents and secretary's reports.
In Mitchell's report he estimates that
10000 miners are paying nothing TO
the support of the national organiZa-
tiOn. He reviews the strikes of the
year in the southwest. in Hopkins
county G&yD the Dearmitt strike, the
Thatcher and Matewan strikes. and of
the Kentucky strike says: The situa-
tion in Kentucky deserves and should
receive your careful consideration.
Provision should he made TO continue
this contest until the Oper-

been willingly conceded by the mine
owners who sell their coal in the same
markets, and whose natural advan-
tages are no greater than those en-
jOyed by the operators of Hopkins

OF the West Virginia situation he
SAYS: AN especial effort has been
made during the year 1901 TO organize
the miners of West Virginia." and that
fOrty-five new local unions have beer
organized. in spite of the fact that
membership in n union is the sure road
to the loss of Il job. He recommends
a fund to support men losing jobs this
way. OF the anthracite fields he says:

WONDERFUL INCREASE IN sCALPs
A Few Instances of How Claims
Were Real
lied.

Lincoln, Eeb.. Jan. 21.-The large
number of claims for bOunties for
scalpS of wolves and coyotes which
have been received at the state audi
tors office has led to the discovery
that the farmers in the western part
of NebHaska have gone into the bust
ness Of breeding these animals for the
bounty market. The farmers find that
thereis more money in wolves and coy
oteS than there is in ho%Ss
One Instance in Particular.
In one instance Il farmer was found
to have raised more than 100 wolves
last summer from several wolves he
had trapped and penned for breeding
purposes. Other cases have been I'M
earthed in which fifteen to sixty of
hese animals have been raised. In
October or November the animals were
killed and their scalps presented for
payment of bounty. The state law au-
thoriZeS the county clerk to pay S3frOm
the county funds for each coyote or
wolf scalp presented. He certifieS the
fact to the auditor, who pays 81 addi-
tiOnal from the state funds.

A dinner was prepared at the court house and covers laid for thirty MT. Jim Miller acted as mas ter of ceremonies and as the barbecued shoa and lamb, turkey and goose were was d down ringing toasts were drunk to ne health and prosperity of the road and of Marengo county
 Selma is already feeling the benefit of the new line into the heart of Marengo county and many of the planters of that section that were wont to make their arrangements for the year in Demopois and Mobile have come to Selma and opened accounts. The first train into Linden carried full car loads of groceries from a prominent Selma firm. The in creased receipts from cotton that Selma will secure next year will not be less than twenty thousand bales.
 The tip is given in the matter of the extension of the B. s. and N. O. railroad by the Louisvnie and Nashville beyond the Tombigbee River is that 1t will not join the New Orleans and North Eastern at Meridian as heretofore given out but that the road will be built in southwest erly direction from the river to Hattiaz burg thereby shortening the distance to New Orleans many miles. Selmians would rather see the line go to Hattiesbure than Meridian as it would remove a dam gerous competitor for the trade in that section

As a general rule, meat once a day is sufficient for all classes of men. women and children, and grains. fruit and veg-e tables should constitute the bulk of food eaten.
 But many of the most nutritious foods are diXicult of digestion, and 1t is of no use to advise brain workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the diges- tion is too weak to assimilate them prop erly.
 It is always best to get the best results from our food that some simple and harmless digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive or- gars. and several years experience have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very safe, pleasant and effective diges- tive and a remedy which may be taken daily with the best results.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called a pat ent medicine, as they do not act on the bowels nor any particu- lar organ, but only on the food eaten. They supply what weak stomachs lack, pepsin, diastase, and by stimulating the gastric glands increase the natural secre- ton of hydrochloric acid.
 People who make a daily practice of taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion. which means perfect health.
 There Is no danger of forming an in- furious habit, as the tablets contain ab- solutely nothing but natural digestives; cocaine. morphine and similar drugs have no place in stomach medicine. and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best known and most popular of all stomach remedies.
 Ask your druggist for a fifty cent pack age of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. and after a weeks use note the improvement in health, appetite and nervous energy

FLOOD FEARED
 AT PITTSBURG
Seet Storm, Two Days Rain
 and Warm Weather Causes
DANCER FROM ICE GORGES
Huge Piles of Ice Extend Up River for Seventy Miles, and In Some Places Have the River Com
 pleteIy Damned.

Pittsburg February 2O-A sleet storm, rapidly moderating weather, and with two days of rain predicted by the govern ment weather office, promises to bring about the conditions feared for weeks past by rivermen and citizens generally. The great danger apprehended Is from the immense gorges of ice in the Ale gheny and Monongahela rivers. The ob- structions are of the most serious char actor and liable to do almost incalcul- able damage to river craft moored be tween this point and Wheeling and should the moderating weather and rains bring down with ice the heavy snows from up- river points, the flood which would re- suit, Is likely to be a record-breaker The gorge in the Allegheny extends almost without break from Pittsburg fully 70 miles up the river and varies in thick ness from five to sixteen feet. The ice Is frozen to the bottom of the river in many places and Is damming the water. with the result that the river is rising above the gorge and this fact points out that when the first rise comes the water will be damned back until the valley along the river would be flooded, which would do damage not to be computed in money.
 The gorge in the Monongahela is not reared so much because the numerous dams along it's length will serve to break the Ice and make 1t less dangerous than the Allegheny.
 The situation was made worse today by the formation of a gorge in the Youghio- gheny at Versailles and other points about Mckeesport, which threatens the barges removed from the Allegheny to the Mo nongahela and the other boats and barges moored in the pools below McKeesport
 The coal companies are taking every precaution for the protection of their property along the rivers, and all resi- dents in the low lands and valleys are making ready for the expected floods.
 The river from Wheeling to Parkers- burg Is gorged almost sold1y, and the rivermen fear this almost as much as they do the gorge in the Allegheny, for the reason that many boats are frozen to the bank at various places, and these have no way to protect themselves or their towns from the ice when 1t breaks 1t Is feared that In addition to losing their towns many of the boats themselves Will be lost on account of the heavy ice.
