w EEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
& hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

Real NOurishment for All.

Mi-o-na Makes Thin People Fnt-W.
II. Eastman Will Return Money if il
Fails.
Every one needs real nourishment; then
comes good health, strength and endur.
ance. Without it, you waste away.
Nearly every one eats food enough to
furnish the necessary nourishment for
the perfect support of life, but the food is
not assimilated and there follows indiges-
ton, weakness and emaciation.
A few days use of Miro ma, the won
derful hesh-formipg food, will demon
strate it's power to furnish real nourish-
ment and restore health. Mi-o-na min
giles with the food you eat, aids assimi-
lation. tones up and strengthens the
digestive organs and puts the whole
system into proper physical condition.
By its use, the elements needed to in
crease flesh are assimilated from the
daily food and each week will show a
noticeable gain in weight.
w. B. Eastman knows personally OF
many cases of long standing stomach
troubles, some of them very bad, that
were entirely cured with Mona. The
thin and scrawny have used this prepa
ration and by it's aid have gained rea
nourishment. W. B. Eastman feels that
he can honestly recommend Mio-na anc
as an evidence of his faith in the merit o
the article, offers to sell it with the dis
tinct understanding that the money IL
to be returned in every case where it fails
to do all that is claimed Tor it. You risl
nothing in buying Mi-o.na, and it it give
the desired health, the cost is trifng
only soc. box. II it fails, w. B. East
man will pay for the remedy himself.

BULLETS And BALLOTS
Denver Mass Meeting Declares
Former Should Guard Purity
Of the Latter.

Denver, Col, Nov. 12.-Citizens Of Den
Yer have been advised to use force at
the charter election on Dec. 10 next to
purify the ballot. At a public meeting
called by the League for Honest Elec-
tons facts and, figures were presented
showing that at recent elections in this
city thousands Of illegal votes were
counted.
Speakers openly charged that the pres
ident of the fire and police board, the
chief Of police and officers in that de-
partment, the majority of the city coun-
Gil who approved the appointment of dis
honest election thieves, were the parties
responsible for the present deplorable
state Of affairs.
Attorney Ralph Talbot declared in
favor of having 100 men, armed with
Winchesters, go to the precincts in the
downtown wards, where crime on election
days is rampant, ready to shed their blood
for the purity of the ballot at the next
election, and his suggestion was warmly
seconded by Rev. Henry w. Pinkham.

BELIEVE VENT
WAS MURDERED.
Fear Is Growing that He Was Muir
dered by Black Mountain
Moonshiners.
These Men Had Long Cherished .
Grudge Against the Million
aires Family.

New York Sun Special Service.
Big Stone Gap, Va, Nov. 12.-It is
now practically certain that Edward
Wentz, the young Philadelphia mill
ionaire who has been missing for
weeks, was murdered by moonshiners
near the Virginia line on
top of Black Mountain.
Notwithstanding the diligent
search, in which fully 5000 men were
engaged, the body is still undiscov-
cred. The country is a succession of
mountain ridges and gulches with
hundreds of caves, some of them
many miles long, and deep, abyss-like
pits. It is we'll nigh impossible to
search such a country thoroly.
The moonshiners had deep hatred
for the Wentzes and for everyone con-
nected with the Virginia Iron and
Coal company, Of which young VENT
was general manager. They believe
that when John McDaniels, their
leader, was shot on Black Mountain
by a posse sent out by Daniel Wentz,
a brother of Edward VENT. to de-
stroy their stills, he was tortured to
death in the company's hospital at
Stone Gap. They were told by men
who said they had dug up his body
in the company's cemetery, that his
throat was cut from ear to ear.
The stories of torture grew out of
the fact that a physician, at the hos
pital, had refused to allow the dying
moonshiner's suspicious friends to see
him, for fear of fastening his death.
The moonshiners did not claim his
body, believing it would be useless.
They understood that the body was
to be kept away from McDaniels' wife
and family, because Of the telltale
| marks of violence it bore.
Now it is all but certain the moon
sinners have paid back the murder
| They have shot Edward Wentz to
death and have kept his body. Ordi-
| narily they would have left the body
| in the road as evidence Of their ven
geance.
The iWentz family have held with
| desperate hope to the belief thai
| Wentz was in the hands of kidnappers
and would be offered for ransom and
many others believed in that theory
| for a time. Now the general convic.
| ton is that he was murdered and that
his body lies in some dark pit or cav
ern, forever hidden from human sight

cite Strike Commissions Award
Can't Be Enforced.

Sunbury, Pa, Nov. 12.-Judge Au-
ten has rendered an opinion that, in
the eye Of the law the decision Of
the anthracite commission is not bind
ing on either the miners or the opera
tors. This is the first legal decision

pany. The company refused to pay
back wages allotted by the strike
commission and the miners of the
Royal Oak colliery brought suit for
the wages. A justice Of the peace
gave judgment in favor of the. miners.
The company began mandamus pro-
ceedings and the court decided for
the company.

REMLEY BUIIs IN HARD STONE MAY TRY FOR POLE
Some Good Surface Indications that
Allison Is Backing Him for
Judgeship.
Special to The Journal.

Sioux City, Iowa, Nov. 12.-Sup-
porters Of Craig l.. Wright of this
city and Of Thomas D. Healy of Fort
Dodge, the supposed leaders in the
contest for the federal judgeship In
the northern district, are concerned
over reports from Washington that
Senator Allison is trying to arrange
a compromise ON Milton Remley, for
mer attorney general, Of Iowa City.
Allison has positively refused to
commit himself to any candidate, and
Senator Dolliver Is supporting Healy.
The appearance of General Remley
at Washington and the fact that he
and Allison held a long consultation
with the president, is construed as
indicating that the senior senator has
something unexpected under way.
RemIey stock has taken big up
ward turn. Until the last two days
he has not been considered seroius
factor.
