mon cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many peop.e have been cured of
chronic catarrh by single bottle OF Pc
runa, yet. ~ Il rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than one
bottle is necessary to complete a cure.
Pcruna has cured cases innumerabie of
catalrh OF twenty years standing. 1t is
the best ii not the only internal remedy
Tor chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention Is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Pcruna at once at the slightest

season OF the year and thus prevent what
is almost certain to end i'll chronic ca
tarrh.

HAD THEM ARRESTED
Kansas Victim of a Mob Strikes
Back with Vigor.
He Had Testified In Case Growing Out
of Neighborhood Row and Was
Driven Out OF the Com
munltY.

Eureka, Kan, Aug. I'M. j. Mer-
rick, young farm hand, was the vic
tim of mob violence at Madison, a town
25 miles north of here, Thursday. Mer-
rick was escorted about half mile
out of town, followed by a mob Of
jeering men and boys, who hit him
with stones, pricked him with sticks
and otherwise Inundated him, finally
issuing an ultimatum to the effect that
it would be decidedly unheatlhful for
the young farmer to return to the
town. Merrick Immediately came to
Eureka and asked the county attorney
regarding redress for his treatment
and warrants were issued for about a
dozen persons. After securing the ar
rests on criminal charges Merrick, to
further Offset his rough treatment,
commenced civil action against the de-
PENDANTS for $4,000 damages.
1t appears the families of Albert
Hale and Tom Williams are neighbors
in Madison. A few days ago Hale had
the Williams children arrested for
throwing stones at his house. Mer-
rick was the star witness for the chill
dren, but his testimony did not meet
with the appreciation of the court at
tendants and he was escorted out Of
town.

FIRE FIENDs AT HOBART.
Five Suspects Under Arrest for Starting
Confiagration That Destroyed Sew
enty-SIx Business Houses.

Hobart, Ok, Aug. Following the
fire of ten days ago, when the east side
of the square burned, Hobart witnessed
the biggest and most destructive con-
Migration last evening that ever oc-
CURED in the territory. Just at six
o'clock the stage of the Phoenix the
alter was set on fire. Within one hour
and 20 minutes three blocks in the
heart of the city were in ashes. There
was no fire protection and the buildings
burned like kindling. Among the big
buildings that were consumed were
the City national bank, Smiths double
brick buildings and the Hippen build
ing, in which were Erdwurm Bros. and
Max Meyerhardt The loss on buildings
is at least 100000, on stocks OF goods
nearly 100000. While the fire was In
progress frame structures were dyna-
mited in a dangerous and reckless
manner. No less than half dozen men
were seriously and dangerously injured.
A. W. Kerr, of the Terry-Kerr Dry
Goods company, was almost fatally in
jured The Chief Publishing company
was burned out, together with rs diff
ferent businesses. Four men and one
woman are under arrest for starting
the fire. Nearly every man in Hobart

TO PRISON FOR CONTEMPT.
Manila Court Deals Harshly with Gomez.
Leader of Labor Union and Albeit
tor of Insurgents.

Manila, Aug. domination Gomez,
president of the democratic labor
union, has been found guilty of con-
tempt of court and sentenced to i'm
prisonment for six months. When the
union was declared bankrupt some
time ago upon investigation of its af-
fairs by the government, a newspaper
connected with it was suspended and
placed in the hands of receiver. Go
mez took it upon himself to republish
the paper and was promptly arrested
upon the charge of contempt for which
he has just been sentenced. Gomez
was arrested in May last upon charge
of enlightenment of funds from the
labor union, the government charging
that the money stolen was used tc
furnish arms and food to the insur-
gents of Rial province. The union,
which has a membership of $4,000, has
always been closely allied with the ma
tional party and is strongly in sympa-
thy with the insurgents.

Three Tralnmen Killed.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. "A head
on collision between two freight
trains, drawn by two large engines,
resulting in the death of three train
men, occurred last night on the Gin
cinnati Southern railroad, about 168
miles from Chattanooga.
The trains met at dip in the road
while going at a high rate of speed
and the crash was heard for miles.
The collision is attributed to the fail
ure of the dispatcher to deliver orders
to the south bound train for the meet
ing point.
All the firemen and engineers, ex-
cept three firemen, jumped and saved
their lives. Engineers Duke and Fitz-
gerald were seriously, but not fatally,
injured.
The engines and a number of cars
were badly damaged.
The road was blocked and all trains
delayed until after 4 o'clock this af-
ternoon.
The first rumors of the collision
were to the effect that eight men had
been killed, but the official report is as
given above.

SUGAR IMPORTATIONS
Larger Than for Any Preceding
Year In Countrys History.
More Than Five Billion Pounds, Valued
at Over Hundred Million
Dollars.

Washington, August 2.-There were
importations of more than five billion
pounds of sugar, valued at over $780,
900 900, into the United States in the
fiscal year just ended. This Is a
larger importation of sugar than any
preceding year in the history of the
country, and the value is greater than
in any preceding year except the I'M
portations~ of 1891, 1898 and 1894.
These figures include the sugar
brought from Porto Rico and the Ha-
waiian Islands. The largest importa-
ton in any earlier year was that OF
1897, when the total was over 4,00O,-
900 pounds. Adding to the enor-
nous importation of 1898, 5000 900
pounds as the domestic production,
would give total supply of 5,S17, 000,-
900 pounds for the year, or sufficient
to furnish an average of " pounds for
each individual in the United States,
estimating the present population at
S0,000,000
From Porto Rico the total sugar
brought into the United States
amounted to 226, 143, sos pounds, val
ued at $7,466,579, and from the Ha-
waiian Islands TIA, 1926, APO pounds, val
ued at $25,310,6S4.
Another marked characteristic of
the years production of sugar is the
fact that the price of sugar brought
from foreign countries has averaged
lower than in any preceding year.
This average cost was in 1872 and
1873 over cents per pound. From
that period it ranged downward until
in 1902, the average cost was 1.S2c
per pound and in the fiscal year just
ended the average cost in the country
of production of the sugar imported
from foreign countries was Lie per
pound, which is lower than in any pre-
cedinP wear

fornia-SerVed as Member
of the First Tennessee.
Placerville, Cal, Aug. 1.-The con-
victs who escaped from Folsom prison
are still at large. The five who en-
gagged in fatal fight with the pursu-
ers at the Grand Victory mines last
night have not bene seen today and
apparently have made a successful re-
treat. In their haste to get away
from the militia and sheriff's posse
they left water can, several hats and
some firearms on the hillside where
last nights conflict occurred. The
dead bodies of Festus Rutherford and
w. G.. Jones, the two militiamen who
were shot by the outlaws, were found
this morning where they had fallen.
Jones had served in the Philippines
as a member of the First Tennessee
and the Thirty-seventh Volunteer
United States infantry Altgill, the
national guardsman, who was shot
through one lung, is not expected to
recover Another victim of the con-
vict chase was Philip Spinger, res
ident of this district. He is hard of
hearing and failing to respond to the
order to halt, he was fatally shot by a
picket early this morning.
A report received this evening
states that four convicts, not believed
to be the same who ambushed the Off
GERS last night, were discovered today
near Lotus in the Weber district by
a posse. A number of shots were ex-
changed, but so far as known without
result

Secret Service Men interfere.

SSSiCh SCiNi(C
Oyster Bay, N Y, Aug. To-day in
the street beside Christ Church, where
the president had attended services.
a man with a bicycle cursed the chief
magistrate. AS President Roosevelt
and his family drove up to the church
there was a brief blockade, and this
man was obliged to dismount from his
wheel
you think you own the whole road,
don't your" he cried, adding thereto
several oaths that were distinctly
heard fifty feet away The president
called two secret service men who
were standing near to make the dis
turber move along.
He is indulging in profane and
abusive language in the presence OF
ladies of the congregation and of my
family" explained the president with
some heat.
Had 1t not been the Sabbath, and
had there not been a number of ladies
present, it is quite probable that the
president would have attended to the
man himself. The secret service de-
tectives had little difficulty in carry
ing out the presidents orders in the
case. The fellow who caused the
trouble is man employed in men,
ial capacity by one of the business
men of the village.
No visitors are at Sycamore Hill
today, and beyond the trip to church
President Roosevelt did not leave his
home.

evidently indicates that Russia has
absolutely no intention of evacuating
Manchuria even if she may pretend to
do so, but that Russian annexation
of the province would become au fait
