A Riot at the Worlds Fair.

small riot at the Worlds Far
grounds this afternoon. The West
inghouse Structural Iron company

OF the non-union men. He refused.
A strike was ordered. The two new
men tried to work, when about $50
men surrounded them. took them
away from work and pounded them
with clubs and stones. When the
police dispersed them, Myer was IN
conscious with a fractured skull.

Fooled Them BIZ Stratagsm-

Jackson, KY, July 81 Capt B. ].
Even arrived here BY express. con-
eealed in a snail box, leaving il only
when long stretch OF country was
being traversed by the train, and
there was no danger of being seen.
Last night he remained in the car
alone, going to his home about 10
O'Clock.
Ewen's trip was a success and no
one recognized him. The military
officials feared that the plan would
be found out and the car blown up
with dynamite, and did not approve
OF it, but Even insisted on coming in
that way instead OF under military
guard.

FREE SPEECH.

We are of the opinion that the edi-
torial in the Warrensburg Herald
criticizing the supreme court for its
decision in the 0glesby case was I'M
necessarily harsh, and that its
charges OF corruption was not war,
ranted by the facts in the case. I'm
auestionably the court laid itself liza
BILE to criticism in the early stages oil
the proceedings in that noted case,
when after affirming the decision OF
the lower court, it three times over
ruled motions for rehearing and then
opened up the case and remanded 1t
for new trial a proceeding thereto
fore unheard OF In a supreme court in
this state. But the personnel oil the
court has changed, and the last ap'
peal was tried on its merits and de-
cided on the Judgment OF the court
as now constituted. The singing
out ofJudge Fox, the latest addition
to the court, one OF the most con-
scientious men and ablest iurists in
the state, was very reprehensible.
But we believe the court made a
serious mistake in citing theseeditors
to appear before them on contempt
proceedings. The right oifree speech
is regarded as very sacred by our
people, and the right of trial by an
unprejudiced jury Of our peers, an
inulienable right OF our citizenship.
No body or tribunal, however organ
ed. should be above criticism, and TO
put the power in the hands OF any
man or set OF men to try, convict and
punish their own critics or traducers,
If YOU please, would be giving them
powers of absolute monarchs, the
theory OF which is repulsive to every
free born American, and against the
theory upon which our government
Is founded. If the members OF the SUI
preme court have been slandered,
they have recourse to the same rene.
dy offered every citizen, high or low,
in this broad land, the right to sue
for SANDER in the courts. But the
right to be Judge, jury and high
executioner against our enemies is
investing too much power in any tri-
bunal.

FOUND A NEW COAL DEPOSIT.
A Rich Vein in Bates County Opened
Up by Kansas City Man.

Kansas City Times.
One OF the largest deposits OF coal
ever found in Missouri has Just been
developed by J. II. Durkee at New
Home, Bates county, seventy miles
from Kansas City. At a depth oi241
feet a solid vein OF the best grade oil
bituminous coal was found. The
vein is 5 feet 8 inches thick, with a
good slate roof. 1t is said to be ex
ceptionallyfree from sulphur and will
produce large per cent oflump coal
''The mine is located near three OF
Kansas City's railroads. said Mr..
Durkee yesterday. "The coal by test
has been shown to be of superior
quality for steam purposes and will
undoubtedly be a large factor in the
supply Of Kansas City industries. A
shaft 1G by Z feet has been sunk to a
depth of twenty-five feet below the
coal. The coal is free from gas and
has little water. Taking all the con-
ditions into consideration, quality,
quantity and transportation, it
looks like big find. A conservative
estimate OF the extent OF the deposit
is about 500 acres. The mine is
owned by the New Home Coal Com
pany, the stock of which is owned by
W. B. Williams OF Rich Hill, L. Z.
Matchette and myself. Machinery is
now being put in to hoist $500 tons
per day. The company will COM

 Their women were treated with honor and respect, and high state of morality extsted. History tells of the high types of beauty found among these Indians by the Spanish conquerors.

New York Evening Post.
 With cloud after cloud upon his ad- ministration. with suspicion falling upon one department after another, with in- dictments and dismissals of corrupt of- ncials taking up the time of Cabinet meetings, and with senators vetoing the punishment of their proteges, he yet finds time to go and sing before the assem- bled bishops, the praises of militant honesty" We'll, it is one of his little ways, and we presume the preacher in him will always be too strong for the mere doer of the work; but, really on this occasion he seemed to have chosen his time singularly i'll.

A MAN CAN'T WORK
WHEN HE IS SUFFERING WITH
 PILES.
He Can't Eat, Can't Sleep, Can't Get Comfort Any Way But one-Pyra- mid Pile Cure Will Cure Him, Give Relief at once-Never
 Known to Fail.

Just a little pain may so distract a mans mind that 1t will cost him hun dreds of dollars. Life is a battle. To suc- ceed one needs all his energies and all his brain force to apply to the question at hand. Even a corn will make him irritable, cross, angry-and an angry man seldom succeeds. The trifing pain of a corn is a pleasant feeling beside the agonizing ache of piles That is a pain which seems to pervade the whole body. It communicates itself to all the parts near the seat of the trouble and brings on heavy, dragging feeling in the perineum Those who have never so suffered do not know what 1t means. It racks the nerves. prevents sleep, prevents concentrated thought and makes a man lose flesh as fast as he would with virulent fever.
 And yet piles are looked upon as a lit- tie thing. They are neglected-allowed to run on from month to month and year to year. By and by comes a dangerous surgical operation. Maybe 1t cures-may- be 1t kills.
 There is only one sure. safe and quick cure for piles. It is the\ Pyramid Pile Cure It is a recent discovery and its properties are such that 1t cleanses, soothes and heals the infiamed parts, re- duces the inflammation at once, and with continued treatment removes all swell ing and all trace of the disease. It puts the membranes in healthy, active con- dition and cures completely and perma- nently.
 From Samuel Victor. Detroit, Mich: "I had not written you sooner because the first box of Pyramid Pile Cure I used helped me so much, and wanted to wait until I was completely cured, and so it was that after using three boxes of your Pyramid Pile Cure, I am entirely cured of the terrible disease from which I have suffered six months; and now I am using Pyramid Pills which help me very muchS | From B. IL Palmer. Windsor, Callf.? "l have been troubled for fifteen years witf piles and have tried different saives anC ointments. but never came across any thing like your Pyramid Pile Cure. used two 50 cent boxes three months ago and they have made complete cure, anC am recommending them to every ont I know to be afflicted Thanks for thu cure"
 From Thos. A. Nixon. S54 N. Bambre! St., Philadelphia. Tt is now time should let you know that I am cured O bleeding piles. If you only knew how have suffered from them for the last nin years, in pain. Last April I went to th' drug store and bought 50 cent box o Pyramid Pile Cure. and I found at las a good cure l had spent dollars trying t get cured of my piles; all others hav' failed to cure me; but now I am happy t' have good sleep and be able to wori also."

ANCIENT CABIN
OF PRECAUTIONARY TIMES TO
 BE PRESERVED.
Built by e Tennesseean Who Helped Bout the British at Kings
 Mountain.

Bristol. Tenn, Special.
 At Pandora, in the mountains of John- son County, Tenn. is a quaint house of Revolutionary times. This structure. built of oak and hickory logs, is sixteen by eighteen feet, and contains but one room. It was built by Godfrey David Stout, a soldier of the Revolution, prior to the battle of Kings Mountain, in which Stout participated. This old house is now the property ot David W. Stout, great grandson of the man who built 1t. Some additions have been made to the original cabin. It's present occupant. finding the old building rot suited to the comforts of his family. is erecting new house nearby, but states that he will preserve the old building for its historic interest.
 In one corner of this Revolutionary cabin is an old table that was made by Godfrey D. Stout. This table is of wal nut, and every piece of 1t was hewn out with a broadax. The table is two feet and four inches high, three feet and three inches long, and two feet and live inches across The top of the table shows many marks made by cutting up deer and other wild meat on the table with an ak or hatchet in the days long gone, when the mountains abounded in game of various sorts, and when fleet animals were brought down by the use of the long flint lock rifle.
 D. R. Stout, another great-grandson of the Revolutionary soldier, Godfrey D. Stout, living not distant from the old cabin, has the gun barrel and the broken stock of the rifU which Godfrey D. Stout carried at the battle of Kings Mountain. The name of the maker. M. Reases, is engraved on the barrel. An ounce ball was fired from the muzzle of this gun. and It may. therefore, be readily under stood how deadly 1t must have been to the redcoats in the memorable battle that marked the turning point in the Revoiu- ton. After this rife was in use for many years in the Revolution, 1t was in use for many years in killing bear, deer, and oth- CT game.
