SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle Of Chamberlain's Couah
Remedy.

"When had an attack of the grip
last winter (the. second one) l actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain,s Cough Remedy" says Frank W.
Perry, Editor of the Enterprise, Shorts
willie, N. Y. "This is the honest truth. /
at timos kept from coughing myself to
pieces by taking teaspoonful of this
remedy, and when the coughing spell
would come on at night / would take q
dose and it seemed that in the briefest
interval the cough would pass off and l
would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and it's accompanying pains. To
say that the remedy acted as most agree
had no idea that it would or could knock
out the grip, simply because 1 had never
tried 1t for such o purpose, but it did.
and 1t seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused it to not
only be OF less duration, but the pains
were far less severe, and I had not used
the contents of one bottle before Mr..
Grip had bid me adieu." For sale by

THE PLAGUE
 AT MAzATLAN
Has Been Proved by InVesti-
 gatiOn to Be BubOniC
It Has Reappeared More Virulent Than Ever Within Forty Eight Hours-A Panic Which Is Being Rapidly Communicated.

Mazatlan, Mex, January 1.-There Is TO longer the slightest doubt that the disease now aflicting this city is the genuine Asiatic plague, for a micro scopic investigation proves that the bubonic pest bacilli is in the blood Of those afflicted with the disease. The plague has grown virulent within the last forty-eight hours and alarm, which had begun in some measure to abate, returned with increased strength. Peo- pie are fleeing from the city at the rate of 800 per day, and some 5000 have all ready gone. It is a remarkable fact that more than 50 per cent of the per sons attacked are women.
 News of the recrudescence or the plague at this port has reached the in- terior towns of the state and is causing a panic. COrdons of armed men have been placed around the towns to pre- vent the entrance of anyone from this place

WOULDN'T WORK
 ON NEWS YEARS DAY
Coal Famine Had no Relief From
 the Scranton District.

Scranton, Pa, January 1.-An effort was made by all the coal operators to work the collicries today but with ill success. At each colliery foremen went around yesterday and gave notice to all hands that the company was very dcsirous of working that the relieving of the coal famine might not be retard- ed. Some men reported at every mine but it was only in a few instances that enough reported to make a start.
 The Delaware, Lackawana & West ern company got four of it's nineteen collieries started but at noon time they had shut down, the hands, particularly the slate pickcrs, refusing to continue. The Delaware S Hudson got two of twcnty-two places started but worked only a few hours. The Erie started in several places and one of them, the Katydid at Moosic, ran all day. None of the thirteen Ontario &s Western or of the eight Temple Iron companies collieries even made q start.
 It is feared that tomorrow will see q reritition of the experience of the day following Christmas when only about half of the men reported for work.

 Mir. Friedman told of one instance where the cmissaries of the trust came to a dealer whose rental was s, 900 per year. They made him a proposition to sell out, to handle trust goods entirely, or to have them start rival store next door and put him out Of business. He would not listen to them. and the re- suit was that at the expira ton of his lease the rent was bid up to $7,200. He was put out of business.
 The retailers O. Chicago then began to wake Up, and they organized under the name of the association given above. They have row, in the short space of three months, a membership of 5,2OO in over 9 cities of the United States.

UIhTAH OIL FIELDS
 OPEN FOR LOCATION
The Rush Beginning Yesterday Had
 the Appearance of War,

Salt Lake, January IA special to the Tribune from Evanston. Wyo.. says:
 The rush for claims in the Uintah oil fields still continues. and from the present outlook more than week will elapse before locating will have been complefed SPsfsr ag known there ms been no bloodsheG, although shuts were exchanged in many cases. Up to mid night last night persons could well i'm agine themselves in the heart Of a hos tile country. Fires marking corners Of claims were lighted by thousands. and these together with hundreds of loca- tors camped near them.reminded one Of a bivouac in war.
 Colonel Ketchum at the head or twelve desperate cowboys, weli-armed and mounted, carried Aspen county bs' storm. At midnight they rode forward down section setting stakes as they came to corners. As the first stakes were being driven they were greeted by vollcy Of gunshots from opposing Io- C-tors. The bullets all went wide Of their marks. Swinging to their saddles the party darted forward. nor did they cease until they had located every sec ton open for filing Then. retracinS their way, they found that the opposing parties had in many cases pulled the stakes and burned them. These were replaced and the triumphant party re- turned 10 file their claims on the rec cords.
 Tn the Spring Valley country there are fist fights on every side, but the men refrained from using firearms as far as known, but up to this time not one locator in ten has returned and the next few hours may bring stories of conflicts. The whole oil field is the scene of intense excitement. and it is not believed that the trouble can pass without bloodshed, as a feeling of dead ly hatred has existed between the To- cators for some time.

New Britain, Conn, January 1.-After repeatedly warning Gus Gardiner of Philadelphia, Referee John Willis gave Joe Cans of Baltimore the decision ir the eleventh round of a bout scheduled for twenty rounds before the National Athletic club today.
 Cans was on the offensive from the start, but Gardiner danced around the ring from his opponent for five rounds and showed no inclination to mix IJ up. Tn the fifth round Cans succeeded Tn landing several good blows on Gardiner with telling effect. n the sixth Gar diner came back with tactics which characterized the first few rounds of the bout and relied on footwork to es- cape Cans.
 Tho referee repeatedly warned Gar diner, who clinchcd al every opportun- ity. but with little effect In the eleventh round Gardiner caught Cans about the waist and threw him heavily to the floor. Referee Willis immedi- ately stopped the bout and gave the de- cision to Cans. Fifteen hundred per- sons witnessed the fight.

Al. Weinig Defeated After Stubborn

The Buffalo man went down and out fin the middle of the twelfth after receiving a terrific rishthand uppercut and shove which banged his head against the floor and made his arising within ten sec onds impossible.
 The contest was one-sided all through. Weinig did not land a score of clean blows throughout the twelve rounds, while OBrien with stinginG iabs, cutting swings and stunning counters played on the Buffalo man wherever and whenever he pleased.
 But Weinig's vitality and well-known powers of recuperation and ability to stand punishment enabled him to stand on his feet and take all grilling until the finishing punch.
