ton of DIR. A. Boschee, celebrated Ger
man Physician, and is acknowledged to
be one Of the most fortunate discoveries
in Medicine. 1t quickly cures Coughs,

cause of the affection and leaving the
parts in a strong and healthy condition.

faction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.

jured so seriously that his life is despair
ed of and almost thousand passengers
were thrown into a panic and piled up
promiscuously yesterday evening by q
rear end collision Oh a curve between
two trains on the elevated road. The
five coaches were crowded, many stand
ing on the platforms and in the aisles.
The compressed air connection between
the third and fourth coaches had become
impaired, and Frank Kathke, the injur-
ed man jumped to the tracks to make the
coupling. While standing between the
cars, train rounded the curve at full
speed. Seeing the block danger signal
set for clear track the motorman al
lowed his train full speed and when he
saw the other train he was too near to
stop. Several persons were badly bruis-
ed and all on the two trains were badly
shaken up.

Forest Fires Under Control.

Plymouth, Mass, May 15.-FOiest
fires which were burning in Plymouth
and Kingston woods are believed to be
under control. Yesterday noon the
east wind blew in a heavy fog which
made the woods very damp and effect
ually hindered the progress of the fire.
Thunder and lightning accompanied the
fog late at night, but no rain fell. To-
day the wind is light and southeasterly
with some fog. Unless strong breeze
fans the flames to life again, it is believed
all danger is past for the present. Nc
signs of fire can be seen over large
stretch of territory this forenoon. Rain
is urgently needed.

THE STRIKE situation is virtually I'M
changed today. Dispatches from vari-
GUS cities announce a continuance of
the unsettled conditions which began
about the first of the month. In some
instances strikers are in a convalescent
state and some have returned to work.
In most of the cases, however, the fever
shows no abatement and many not here
tefore subject to the malady are mani
testing unmistakable signs Of becoming
victims of the germ which is now said
to cause the disease.

Characterized the strikes in Omaha. p.
J. Maddox, driver for delivery COM
pany, was found yesterday under the
Tenth street viaduct in an unconscious
condition. When restored he said that
he had been knocked from his wagon.
His home is in Pittsburg, and he was a
strike-breaker. The entire police force
was called on for extra duty yesterday
afternoon. and additional deputies were
put in charge of the Chief Of Police. A
riot occurred at Seventeenth and Chi
cago streets late in the afternoon, when
driver was pulled from his wagon and
beaten. Another driver. accompanied
by deputy, was taken from his wagon
and the deputy did not attempt to pro-
tect him. In several instances drivers
were stopped, their teams unhitched and
the contents of wagons strewn on the
street. 1t is reported also that several
drivers abandoned their wagons without
cause, leaving teams hitched to the tele-
graph poles or standing in the streets.

that persons arrested for rioting shall not
be released on bond until after their
hearing. An attempt was made to secure
the release on bail of men arrested yester-
day, but they were refused their liberty.

than at any time since the strike began,
and further trouble is feared.
