FIGHT FOR OIL CLAIMS.
How the Struggle Was Made in the
New Fields,

Evanston, Wyo., Jan. 1.-The rush
for claims in the Uintah oil fields con-
tinues. and from the present outlook
not more than a week will elapse be-
fore the locating will have been COM
pleted. So far as known there has been
no bloodshed, although shots were ex-
changed in many cases. Fires, mark
ing the corners of claims, were lighted
by thousands last night, and these, to-
gether with hundreds of locators
camped near them, presented the ap-
pearance of a bivouac of war.
Col. Ketcham, at the head of twelve
cowboys, we'll armed and mounted,
carried the Aspen country by storm
last night. At midnight they rode
forward down the section lines, setting
stakes as they came to the corners.
AS the first stakes were being driven,
they were greeted by a volley of gun
shots from opposing locators, but the
bullets all went wide of their marks.
Swinging to their saddles the party
darted forward, nor did they cease I'M
til they had located every section open
for filing. Then, retracing their way,
they found that the opposing parties
had in many cases pulled their stakes
and burned them. These were replaced,
the triumphant party returned to put
their claims on record.
In the Spring Valley country there
were fist fights on every side, but up
to this time not one locator in ten has
returned, and the next few hours may
bring news of more serious conflicts.

WARS ARE PROMISED.
Forecast That IL Made by Max Nor

Forecast That is Made by Max Nor
dau i'm His History.
Vienna, Jan. lin the course of an
exhaustive review of the history of the
world, contributed to the Neue Erie
Presse by Max Nordau. the writer
deeply deplores the growth of mill
tary imperialism in the United States.
and says that by thesadmission of the
spirit of militarism. which was for
merly vigorously excluded, America is
raising obstacles to the entrance of
emigrants whose only capacity is their
strong working arms.
Speaking of the future of the New
World. Nordeau says the opening of
the Panama canal under American
ownership will mark the beginning of
a new epoch. The tragic stage of the
worlds history, which, in ancient times
centered in the Mediterranean and
which moved in the naval ages to the
Atlantic, will then be transferred to
the Pacific ocean.
At first the Anglo Saxon element
will seek to drive out the German and
French flags floating over single
points in the Pacific ocean; then the
struggle will be carried further to the
Asiatic coast, where Anglo Saxons and
Russians will have to decide the mo-
mentous world question of whether
Eastern and Southern Asia shall re-
main British or Russian.
To this forecast NJ Nordua adds:
"One can only imagine with horror
what such a gigantic struggle of ma
tons and races will signify"

TORTURING
DISF|CURING
Skin, Scalp and Blood
Humours
Speedily Cured by Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and
All Else Fail.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial disfgurements, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety of worn
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum, all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales, and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per-
mits rest and sleep in the severest
forms of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies and the best physi-
clans fail.

SHORTAGE OF COAL.
How 1t Is Felt in the Region Near
Its Production.


Baltimore, Jan. 1.-The effect of the
coal famine on the 10000 people of
Maryland, the District of Columbia,
Virginia and West Virginia is told in
dispatches to to-morrow's Herald.
Few towns are supplied with anthra-
cite and in many there is a shortage
of all kinds of fuel. In the smaller
towns the residents substitute wood
for coal, but in the larger cities this
has not been possible. In some entire
counties nothing but wood is used.
At some points near the coal fields,
such as Roanoke, coal is higher than
at points more distant from the mines.
In West Virginia owing to the wide
distribution of coal-producing areas,
there IS not likely to be much distress.
Although the industries are suffering,
Washington and Baltimore are getting
along with soft coal at advanced
prices, but Washington is no better off
than many of the smaller towns. The
commerce of both Baltimore and Nor
folk is suffering because of the short
age,

much of the growth of Dublin is due
to the loyalty to Dublin displayed by
the people of Laurens county when
ever an opportunity presents itself.
The people of no county in the state
take more interest in their county
town than do the people of Laurens
county in Dublin. 1t is expected that
the movement started by DR.. Duggan
will not end until public library is
established In Dublin.
On Jan. 10 the pupils of the Dublin
public schools will hold appropriate
exercises commemorative of the ami
versary of the birthday of Gen. Robert
l.. Lee. At night an address touch
ing the life and character of the
great Confederate chieftan will be de-
ivered by Col. William F. Jones Of
Elbert0n.

London, Jan. IA dispatch to the

Pretender was then four hours from
Fee. All available troops had left the
capital to defend the approaches to
the city.
The Christians in Fee were ali re-
ported to be safe.

GAVE THE FIGHT TO CANS.
Referee Had Warned Gardiner Re-
peatedIy.


New Britain, Conn, Jan. AFTER
repeatedly warning Gus Gardiner of
Philadelphia. Referee John Willis gave
Joe Cans of Baltimore the decision in
the eleventh round of a bout sched-
uled for twenty rounds before the
National Athletic Club to-day.
Cans was on the defensive from the
start, but Gardiner danced around the
ring from his opponent for five rounds
and showed no inclination to mix it up.
In the first round Cans succeeded in
landing several good blows on Gardiner
with telling effect. In the sixth round
Gardiner came back with the tactics
which characterized the first few
rounds of the bout and relied on his
footwork to escape Cans.
The referee repeatedly warned Gardi-
ner, who clinched at every opportuni-
ty, but with little effect In the elev-
enth round Gardiner caught Cans
about the waist and threw him heav-
lily to the floor. Referee Willis i'm
mediately stopped the bout and gave
the decision to Cans.
Fifteen hundred persons witnessed
the fight.

DRUG STORES MAY FIGHT.
They DO Not Think They should Pay
the Liquor Tax.

Atlanta. Jan. Lit is said the drug
stores that sell whisky on a physi-

the payment Of the $500 liquor tax
which is demanded by the Controller
General. They disagree with his view
of the law and will likely go into the
courts. II the decision should be in
favor of the state. 1t will probably re-
suit IN the discontinuance of the sale
OF liquor by drug stores. as there
wcald be very little profit in II Tor
them with such tax.
