THE Minneapolis Journal notes as
significant occurrence that on the same
dav that the Ohio republicans in con-
yention at Columbus were crying out
AGAINST tariff revision the Convention OF
National Millers at Detroit was making
q strong deliyerance in favor of tariff
revision through the gate of reciprocity.
1t often happens in these days, well says
the Philadelphia Record, that the cap
tains of industry and the political cap
tains now in control of the government
cannot see things alikein looking through
Dinrlev spectacles. The Journal strong
" insists that if the United States Sen
ate could be induced to take the broad
view Of the millers, it would take look
at the pigeon-holed Kasson reciprocity
treaties and surely take up the French
treaty moldering there, as it comedies to
us an average reduction from the French
maximum rate amounting to As per
cent, including oils, and 26 per cent,
excluding them, and on many articles
the reduction from the maximum rate is
50 or 60 per cent, while our government
has conceded an average Of less than Z
per cent. from our tariff schedules"

GOOD ADVICE.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint. More than
seyenty-fve per cent. of the people in
the United States are afflicted with these
two diseases and their effects such as
Sour Stomach, Sick Headache, Habitual
Costiveness, Palpitation of the Heart,
Heartburn, Water-brash, Gnawing and
Burning Parns at the PitOf the Stomach,
Yellow Skin, Coated Tangue and Dis
agreeable Taste in the Mouth, Coming
up of Food after Eating, Low Spirits,
etc. Go to your Druggist and get a
bottle of August Flower for % or 70
cents. Two doses will relieve you.

THE DISPATCH from Belgrade in the
teleoraphic columns of today's Gazette
giving an account of the revolution IN
Servia, the killing of King Alexander,
Oueen Draga and Prime Minister Zlnzar
and the placing of pretender on the
throne is one of the most serious events
of the twentieth century. Alexander
has for long time been unpopular and
the Seryians urge much in extenuatlon
Of their action. but that they are Justitl-
able in their over facts is by no means
allowed by people believing in law and
order. Regicide is not calculated to 40
any country lasting good. 1t destroys
confidence from the fact that it is as
snmed that if subjects destroy one king
no matter on what pretense, they are
liable to make way with their successors
If they find their administrations are not
what they expected them to be. Besides
such acts are terrible international ex-
amples. The world is always infested
with would-be king-killers, and the
enemies of government are enthused al
all successful revolutions and regicides.
Such things are to be deplored, and all
right-thinking people will stand aghast
when they read of the recent sanguinary
scenes i'm Seryia.

The TIE UP IN P1TTsBURG.-The
number of men locked out by the tie-up
in the building trades in Pittsburg, Pa,
was increased yesterday to $500. This
number will probably be trebled by the
end Of the week, and unless the dispute
between the bricklayers and stonemasons
is settled speedily the Builders League
claims 20, 600 men will be thrown out OF
employment, $4,000, 900 in contracts
with be affected and nearly 5000, 900 a
dav lost in salaries. The league threatens
in a few days to stop every bit of build
ing in the county and will tie up the
wards producing material, placing the
building industry at a complete stand
still. They are determined the men shall
agree among themselves and will throw
men of all crafts out of work until the
men of these two decide to settle their
troubles. The list of work that will be
stopped is an enormous one. 1t includes
all the big and small undertakings in
that line of what promised to be q record
year in building.

PARROT AS WITNEss.-A parrot APP
peared as awitness in Recorder Stanton s
court in Hoboken, n. j., yesterday and
testified as to its owner. The testimony
was given in the case of Peter Cadena,
who was arraigned on the complaint Of
Mrs. Annie Wendt, who alleged that
Cadena had stolen the parrot from her.
Mrs. Wendt told the court that the par
rot was placed in her charge by Selma
Clare. an actress. Cadena denied that
he had stolen the parrot, and said he
had bought it from a man to whom he
had paid $3.50. Then the bird was
brought before the recorder, who ques-
toned it. "To whom do you belongT
he asked. Selma" said the parrot,
looking wisely at the judge. The court
decided to hold the prisoner in 5000 bail
on charge of larceny.

THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE II, 1903

THERE SEEMS to have been an epldem-
10 of accidents on railroads centerlng III
Alexandria during the past few weeks
There has during that time been an
average of nearly one a day, not taking
into consideration minor incidents where
engines and cars have run off in which
no one was hurt nor any material damage
inflicted During the past week, how
ever. there have been four fatalities
three during the past twenty-tour hours
The first occurred on Monday when Ed
ward Baggett was ground to pieces while
nj work in the Southern Railway yard.
This sad affair had hardly ceased to be
matter of conversation when yesterday
evening man was killed at the south
end of Long Bridge bya Chesapeake ano
Ohio train. Last night, before the news
of this fatality had been published in the
newspapers, the city was startled by the
renort of the terrible wreck between
Rayensworth and Ditchley. A short
time after the relief train had reached
this city with the injured ones the body
of A young white man, stranger, was
found almost in the city limits between
tbe tracks of theSouthern and Washing
on-Southern Railway bearing unmis
taxable evidences of having been kille'
by train.

No GRAIN TAX.-By a dexterous
speech Premier Arthur j. BalfOur in the
British House of Common last night
temporarily smoothed over the differences
in the Cabinet, relieved Colonial Secre-
tary Joseph Chamberlain of any neces-
sity of resigning, and for the moment
averted a crisis which threatened the
Unionist party.
This Mr.. Baliour accomplished without
committing the Government either to
protection or free trade, though the effect
of his speech will generally be taken to
be shelved for the present.
Henry Chaplin's amendment, which
gave rise to the most interesting debate
of the present Parliament, was defeated
by the overwhelming majority of 3O6
votes, composed of Unionists, Liberal
and Irish members, only 2S votes being
cast in its favor Many members of the
Conservative party abstained from voting.
The amendment declared that the re-
moval of tax on grain ''invOlyes a need
less and injurious disturbance of trade
and serious loss of revenue, without
substantial relief for the consumer" and
that if any taxes are removed it should
be "those levied on tea and other articles
of general consumption"

charge has confessed to States Attorney
John G. Milton that he was Rev. IL.
A. johnson, and admits that he has a
wife and two children in Clayton, N.
Y, and also that he eloped with Mrs.
George Davis, leading soprano of his
choir. Johnson was arraigned yester-
day morning on warrant sworn out on
information received from the New
York authorities. In his confession
Johnson said that Mrs. Davis left Nor
folk last Saturday on her way back to
CLAYTON. johnson admitted that he
was willing to return to New York
without a legal fight if he could be
taken there on charges, but he can not
be taken out of Virginia on the present
charges against him, which are only
misdemeanors. johnson has sold his
grocery store in BrambletOn and says he
intends leaving Norfolk as soon as his
troubles are over. Johnson had been
pastor of the Congregational Church, OF
Clayton, N. Y, for two years. Mrs.
Minnie Stalker Davis, wife of George O.

grocer, studied for the ministry and be-
came pastor of the Congregational
Church in Clayton. Ostensibly to hold
a series of meetings in Rensselaer, Falls,
Mr.. Johnson left home on March 23.

seen him since. A message to the
Falls disclosed the fact that he had not
been there, nor had he been expected

HEAVY RAIN.-The heaviest down
pour of rain and severest electrical storm
ever witnessed at Front Royal visited
that section Tuesday night. Water two
feet deep rushed through the streets,
sweeping away everything in sight.
Hundreds of chickens, pigs, horses,
cows, &c, were drowned or killed by
lightning. Lightning struck four dwell
ings at Riverton, one at Front Royal,
and three at Cedarville, and killed one
person at the latter place. North and
South rivers are out of their banks, and
rising very fast. Everything along the
courses of these rivers is being washed
away.
The five-story flour mill belonging to
DIR. J. l. Triplett, of Mount Jackson,
situated about two miles east of Wood
stock. valued at SO, 500, was totally de-
stroyed by the high waters in the Shen-
andoah river at an early hour yesterday
morning. The foundations were washed
away, the building falling into the swift
current and breaking to pieces before
passing under the county road bridge
located about 200 feet below the mill
site. The embankment below the mill
was washing away at a rapid rate yes
terday, and it is feared the bridge, which
was erected at cost of $4,000, is in
danger. Two and a half inches of water
fell Tuesday night in a short time caus-
ing immense damage to crops and plowed
fields. In Woodstock and Maurerstown
the high water destroyed a lot of side
walks, flooded several houses, and ruined
gardens.
