The natives are masters of the art
Of making traps for wild beasts, and
they hunt United States soldiers
after the same fashion. They dig in
our path pits skillfully masked. so
that our men fall into them and are
impaled on poisoned stakes. And
then at unexpected intervals a thread
is stretched in the grass nj their
feet, and when IL is snapped a bent
sapling springs into position with
several poisoned spears attached.
You cannot enter a deserted cabin
without running the risk of letting
loose a spring Of this sort with some
poisoned spearheads attached; usu-
ally the mere stepping on the sill or
front doorstep is the signal. One of
these traps nearly finished me, For

SWORN STATEMENT.

What J. j. Duffaney of South Mortified
has TO say -
"For over twenty years / had not been
able to breathe through my nose, as II was
constantly stopped up from catarrh. Fiji
teen years ago last March ] took a very
bad cold and asthma set in. For the past
twelve years my friends have been looking
for my death. Ever since / was attacked
with asthma / had been constantly run
ming down in flesh until the doctors and
everyone that knew me said ] was fast
going with consumption. My appetite
was gone, so to speak, / was not able to
do anything, my shortness for breath was
very bad and asthma caused me to get no
breath. And l was unable 20 go to bed
many a night; had to sit in my chair, or
bolstered up. In this condition, for
twelve long years / suffered notwithstand-
ing took every patent medicine j could
hear OF for consumption, catarrh or
asthma. Nevertheless ! gradually grew
worse until last Nav, hearing of the many
wonderful cures being effected by Dr.
Morrow, my brother took me to his office,
seemingly more dead than alive. My
heart was very weak and palpitated very
badly; liver was very sluggish and my
| kidneys troubled me a great deal. In this
condition, met DIR. Morrow, who gave
me a very careful examination and told me
| If would strictly follow his directions, he
would cure me, and he has faithfully kept
/ his word ] now weigh las pounds, can
| breathe well through my nose, my cough
/ is gone and so is my asthma and other
| troubles. ] have followed a threshing
machine the greater part OF this fall, and
have felt no return Of my asthma and
other troub les, which to me is the greatest
proof in the world that ] am permanently
cured. / give this testimonial freely and
without solicitation, trusting it may be
the means Of bringing some other poor
| sufferer where they can obtain relief as ]
have. Furthermore, wish to state that
my son, George, IA years Of age, has suf-
fered with asthma since he was two
months old. He had an attack of measles
at that age, and il left him with asthma 50
bad that he has been unable to lie down al
night for the last eight years. After
found that was getting better, / took
him 10 Dr. Morrow also. He relieved his
asthma inside of one week and he has
never suffered with it since. therefore
feel dOubly grateful to DIR. Morrow and
am satisfied and know that If Won will
strictly follow his directions, If he tells
you he can cure, he can do So"

THOUSANDS OF CRIPPLE CREEK
MINERS IDLE.
DENOUNCED ASIAN OUTRAGE
Mineowners Issue Statement-Deter-
mined to Resume Work as
Soon as Possible.

Cripple Creek, Col, Aug. 13.-Union
miners working in the drainage tunnel
were called out today by their execu-
tive officers. The tunnel, which will
drain most OF the big mines OF this
district, would be completed in anoth-
er week at the rate of progress here
tOfore sustained. The strike was or
dered in consequence OF the refusal
of Superintendent cambridge to en-
ploy only union e
I'VE will complete that tunnel ii it
takes the United States army to pro-
tecty the work, and it it is necessary
for us to put on our working clothes
and do the labor ourselves" said
President Samuel Bernard OF the Ell
Paso Mining company, which has the
contract for building the tunnel.
1t is not unlikely that within "a
hours rich mineowners and high-salar-
led mine managers will go into the
big bore to take the places OF the men
called out to day.
There are now 1000 miners idle in
the district. The mineowners and
managers today announced their de-
termination to reopen the mines as
quickly as possible. In their published
announcement they say:
The Western Federation has seen
fit to compel a cessation OF all labor
in the district, not because OF any
grievance OF their own against
the Cripple Greek operators, but for
reasons entirely beyond our control.
No more arbitrary and unjustitiable
, action mars the annals OF organized
labor, and we denounce it as an out
rage against the employers and en-
ployed.
LAS fast as men can be secured
our mining operations will be resumed
under former conditions, preference
being given to former employees, anc
all men applying for work will be
protected to the last degree"

Edward Swanson Falls Under Train
at Livingston.


Livingston, Mont, August 13.-Ed-
ward Swanson, a car repairer employ
ed in the Northern Pacific yards in
this city, was Instantly killed about
$50 o'clock this afternoon by falling
under the wheels of a moving train.
Swanson had been engaged during the
day in repairing cars in the vicinity
OF the freight depot and at $3.50 was
running to the work shop. About
this time a switch engine with a
long train OF cars was pulling west
on one OF the side tracks. In going
to the workshop Swanson attempted
to climb between two OF the moving
cars. In some way he lost his balance
and fell directly in front OF the wheels.
Those nearby state that he made a
determined effort to save himself after
he struck the rail, but was finally
drawn in under the wheels and his
body cut in two through the middle.
Swanson was a man about 80 years
of age and had lived in Livingston
with his family Tor several months.
He leaves a wife and two children.
The deceased was a popular young
man and his death is deeply regretted
by a large acquaintance.

Portions Of Missouri and Kansas suf-
fer from Floods.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. ia ter
rifle rain storm that at some points
assumed the proportions OF a cloud
burst, prevailed in western Missouri
and eastern and central Kansas last
night. All streams rose rapidly, tracks
were washed out and one or two
bridges damaged. At Junction City,
Kan, the Smoky Hill river ose 10
feet in six hours, and early today
was still rising at the rate of two
feet an hour. Reports from up the
river say the rise will not continue
long, however, as the water is running
OFF fast.
Nearly tour inches of water fell
in central Kansas. Between Junction
City and Chapman the Union Pacific
tracks are under water, and on the
Union Pacific branch north OF junction
City one bridge was washed out OF
position.
