WHAT IS MALGA?'

Malaga IL not designed to be a Cure-all
as at first might appear. Ii is a purely
vegetable compound, containing the &C
tive medicinal properties which Mature
has placed in the hands of the careful
student IN the realm OF Botanical research
and il the result Of years Of practical ex-
perience in the laboratories OF two Of
the most successful practitioners In the
United States, men who enjoy the fruits
OF an international reputation, well and
nobly earned by their success in combat
ing disease with Natures own remedies
Malaga is especially prepared tocombat
and destroy the germs Of Malaria, Chills,
La Grippe and Fever. 1t acts quickly
eliminating the disease through the Kid
neys and Liver, healing and purifying
them, and cleaning the blood OF refus,
matter and disease.
Malaga will cure Acute and Chronic Kid
ney and Liver Troubles, Pains in the
Back, Joints and Limbs, Mucous, Blood
or Brick Dust in Urine. Ii strengthens
the Urinary Organs, and makes Thick,
Sluggish and Scanty Urine flow freely
at will.
IL strengthens the Mucous Membranes
that are effected by Catarrh, Colds, ETC.,
eifecting a radical and quick cure.
Malaga is also composed Of slightly bit.
ter tonic principles, which make 1t an
ideal Tonic and Appetizer, and cure for
Nervousness, Indigestion and Stomach
Troubles.
Anyone living In Malarial, Chills and
Typhoid Districts should always have q
bottle OF Malaga on hand nd take it once
or twice day to Observation-Disclosures
with those diseases which are ever PR
cent and ready to attack a debilitate-'
and enieebled body. Fortify yourser
against these attacks by taking Malgass

Defends labor Unions.

Thomas Kidd discussed The Labor
Unions and the Mob Spirit" lie as
serted the leaders in labor riots were
usually recent converts TO unionism,
flushed with the possession Of power.
Mr. Kidd insisted. however. that the
percentage of riots in labor troubles
was very small. saying that records Of
%. 600 strikes in seven years show less
than / per cent. attended by riots. He
did not believe Mr.. Perry correctly
represented the employers Of the coun-
try.
The employment Of detectives and
agents who excite the men TO violence.
said Mr.. Kidd. places much response
bility upon certain employers. Organ
ICED labor. said he. was not response
bic for the employment Of private po-
lice during the anthracite strike, for
the whitecapping of miners in Colorado
nor for the riots at Danville and Ev-
ansyille.
The lawlessness of the few, he in
sisted. should not obscure the good cit
,zenship Of the majority Of trade union
sts. To properly conduct unions to
please the employers would make them
valueless to the workmen.
The employer claims the right to
conduct his own business and the union
insists upon the right to pass judg-
ment upon conditions under which the
work is done.

INSANE MAN FIRED INTO CROWD
Three Killed and Twenty.three Injured
While Listening to Concert.

Whie Listening 10 concert
Winfield, Kan, Aug l4.-Gilbert
Twigg. aged 30 years. supposed to be
insane. appeared on the principal
street OF this town last night with a
double barreled shotgun and fired both
charges deliberately into a crowd of
5000 people who were listening to a
band concert. He killed three per
sons, fatally injured three and shot
20 others, OF whom six may die. Twigg
was himself killed by a policeman.
The band had just finished playing a
waltz, when Twigg stepped out from
an alley and deliberately taking aim
at the bandstand fired two shots r. Il.
Oliver, a bandsman. fell at the first
shot, but the crowd not realizing what
had happened rushed toward Twigg,
believing that there had been an acct
dental shooting Of some kind. As the
crowd closed in the crazed man dis
charged two more shots at them, caus-
Ing a scattering in every direction.
With the crowd fleeing the man stood
firing at random in every direction.
Men and women howled and shrieked
and ran. but no one seemed able to
stop the frightful carnage until Police
man Nichols confronted Twigg and
fired a bullet into his head. Before life
was extinct the demented man drew a
revolver from his pocket and fired a
shot into his own body.
The dead and dying were by this
time scattered all over the street and
the frightened people sought safety in
flight. 1t was fully an hour before they
realized what had happened and recov-
cred sufficiently TO take care of the in
jured.
Gilbert Twigg was miller by trade.
He was commonly referred TO as Crazy
Twigg," but no one thought him dan
gerous.

5000 New Rural Routes.

Washington, Aug. IA. - Postmaster
General Payne has had prepared a
statement showing the status of the
rural free delivery service throughout
the country. 1t shows that during the
month of July. the first month of the
present fiscal year. almost 5000 new
routes have been established. The
appropriation made for the entire SER
vice for the year was si2,000,0OO. or a
little less than 100000 more than
necessary to maintain the existing
service. This Is only sufficient to JUS
tify the establishment of about 5000
new routes. There are now on file
petitions for about 1000 new routes.

Oyster Bay. N. Y. Aug H. 80 AT
President Rooscvelt's conference with

AT tho approaching session of con

rious consideration was also given 10
the legislation to be proposed 10 con

The committee. consisting Of Sona-

One fact OF distinct importance was
developed az the conference. While
an extraordinary session OF congress

definitely whether II will be called 10
meet in October or in November. II
has been supposed thai the cxtraordi-
nary session would convene on Mon
day. November 9. but the Indications
now are that II will be called for an
earlier date. perhaps several weeks
earlier
II can be said that the senate finance
committee will draft no measure for

lions have been held with other mem
bers OF the senate-Democrats as well
as epublicans-withm members Of the

II is the hope OF the committee 10
devise a genuinely elastic currency
system-a system that will expand

DR.. Christie Tartercher, one OF the pres

that such an attitude could arise from

siastic, and trained in the use OF arms.
Their number could be quadrupled
were II not that the difficulty OF feed
ing such an army renders its increase
insdvisable. The Turkish troops are
badly clothed and demoralized."
DR.. Tartercheff concluded by saying
that the committee lived in daily hope
that the powers would recognize the
justice of their cause and intervene.
He said the friends Of the cause looked
chiefly toward England as the pioneer
