commissioner of the poor that they.
should GO back to their former home
if any aid must come from the public
fund. The family came here from
Rock Island about three months ago
and shortly after that the mother
went to the Soldiers Relief society to
ask for aid. She was thea referred
to the Commissioner Of the Poor
Evans who supplied the family with
groceries to relieve them of any press
ing need they might have. The cir
cumstances surrounding the case
were then investigated and it was
found that the people lived in Rock
Island last year where they received
aid from the county and that they
moved over here in the spring. The
matter is a difficult one to deal with
but the commissioner feels that he
would be setting a dangerous prece-
dent if they would be allowed to be-
come citizens when they properly be-
long to another county.

Infatuated animal to charge past him,

sought the nearest tree which he
climbed with alertness born of des-

tore up the earth around the tree,
while Robert called Justify for aid,
which. however, was not Forthcoming.

blood, and to attempt a cure by exter-
nal treatment is an endless, hopeless
task. Some simple wash or ointment
is often beneficial when the skin is
much infamed or itches, but you can t
depend upon local remedies for perma-
nent relief, for the blood is continually
throwing off impurities which irritate
and clog the glands and pores of
the skin, and as long as the blood re-
mains unhealthy, just SO long will the
eruptions last. To effectualIy and per-
manently cure skin troubles the blood
must be purified and the system
thoroughly Cleansed and built up, and
S. S. S., the we'll known blood purifier
and tonic, is acknowledged superior to
all other remedies for this purpose. It

RUST AND SHEDDING.
Deterioration of Cotton During Past Week.
Some Tobacco Suffers From Drought
nv The AssOciated Press.

Washington, Sept. S.-The Weather Bu-
reaus weekly summary of crop conditions
say:
Complaints of rust and shedding are
general throughout the cotton belt, and
as a result the condition of cotton has
deteriorated during the past week. The
staple is opening rapidly, in some sec
tions prematurely, and picking is becOm-
ing general in all districts. Faborable
reports are received from North Carolina,
Oklahoma and portions of South Carolina
and Mississippi, prospects being good for a
top crop in the first named State. In
Texas, while the bool worms have mostly
disappeared, boil weevil continue destruct-
i've and are puncturing nearly all new
forms in the southwestern, central and
eastern sections, and the crop is also suf-
ofering from drought in the northern and
western portions of that State, which re-
tards fruiting and causes much shedding.
Tobacco is suffering from drought In
Kentucky, needs rain in Tennessee and
was damaged some by hail in New York
and New England; elsewhere the crop is
satisfactory Cutting is in progress in
all districts, and curing is nearing com
petion in the southern section.

MADE RED
BY RIOT.
Several Christians Killed in
Fight With MosIems.
Two Mohsmmedans in the Riot at Beirut
Cables From LeiShman and
Cotton.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 8.-Cablegrams were
received at the State and Navy Depart
ments today from Minister Leishman at
Oonstantinople and Admiral Cotton,
commanding the American squadron now
in Turkish waters, respectively, giving
an account of the riot which occurred at
Beirut Sunday. 1t was stated at the
Navy Department that no new INSTRUCT
tions had gone to Admiral Cotton in
consequence of today's report. Instruc-
tions sent to Minister Leishman today
contemplate that he keep the State De-
partment constantly informed as to the
situation, that the department may know
to what extent protection is being af-
forded American citizens. The President
was advised of the facts reported to Wash
ingtOn today.
Rear Admiral Cottons cablegram is
dated Beirut, September 7and is as fol-
lows:
violence and bloodshed between Mo-
hammedans and native Christians oc-
CURED at Beirut Sunday. Six Greek
Christians, two Mohammedans and one
Turkish soldier killed; three Greek Chris
tians, three Mohammedans and three
Turkish soldiers wounded seriously. Other
murders reported. Flag Lieutenant and
United States Consul were present Sun
day and Monday in the disturbed quarter
and verify details of statement. Turkish
government willingly afforded facility for
their investigation and guard; promise
one thousand more Turkish soldiers.
Turkish soldiers present sufficient if
properly disposed of to handle situation
at Beirut. Well patrolled and all quiet
Sunday night and today, Monday. Turk
ish governor promises to do all in his
power to restore authority. Many houses
closed and business suspended / have
prepared to land force for protection of
property of American citizens if situation
demands. Will follow with caution, Pres
ent trouble due to animosity between
Moslems and native Christians and fail
ure to control crimes"
The last portion of Admiral Cotton's
cablegram is unintelhgible, and the cipehr
experts at the Navy Department worked
all morning to translate it.
Minister Leishman reports that a riot
occurred yesterday at Beirut in which
seven Christians were killed and several
wounded. Two houses occupied by Chris
tians were pillaged by the soldiery. The
panic was general. An officer and a sig
nal man from Admiral Cottons fleet are
now in the consulate and an investiga-
tion of conditions at Beirut is being made
by a flag lieutenant, Consul Ravndal
and another consular officer. Mr. Leish-
man says that the origin of the trouble
is not distinctly stated by our consul.
He further says that it is claimed by
the Sublime Porte that conditions at
Beirut are again quiet and that the
force now there is sufficient to guarantee
the safety of the city.
Lieutenant Charles l.. Hussey, is Ad-
miral Cotton's flag lieutenant and it is
presumed here he is the officer making
the Investigation.

Durham, n c., Sept. S.-There IS
another small strike on i'll Durham. Some
fifteen men employed in the wood work
ing plant of Young & Stone quit work this
morning because of the employment OF
non-union labor. Recently two shops were
consolidated, one employing union labor
and the other non-union. The wOrkmen
claim that it was agreed that after the con-
solidation union men only would be en-
ployed This makes two strikes now on
here, the brick masons refusing to work
over five weeks ago There is now much
talk as to rumors of strikes, but nothing
is certain 1t is said that the brick mas
ons have appealed to the Carpenters I'm
ion for assistance, and that sympathetic
strike is the talk. 1t is also said that the
carpenters have referred the matter to the
national committeeman and will have to
wait on them. There are now some twelve
or thirteen unions in Durham, even the
cooks and hackmen being organized. A
negro organizer has been at work here
for year or more.
