Rock Island Threatened.
FARMERS And HOUNDS OUT
THREE ASSAILANTS OF NEBRAS-
KA GIRLS MAY BE LYNCHED IF
CAUGHT BY ANGRY PURsUERs.

Lincoln, Neb., March 11.-A large
posse of farmers with bloodhounds, is
securing the country about the town of
Scribner for three fiends who late last
night made a brutal assault upon Miss
Eva Rich. the 20-year-old daughter Of
a wealthy farmer, when she was on
her way home from the house of a
neighbor.,
The young woman was subjected to
such shocking treatment by her assail-
ants that she was unable to walk when
! they left her, and was compelled to
crawl upon her hands and knees sew
eral yards to the nearest farm
house, where she fell fainting to the
floor. Her condition is still critical
Miss Rich does not know who her
assailants were, and thus far no clue
has been discovered. If they are
found 1t is believed they will be
Nnched.

VENEZUELA MUST
PAY -Sl0,O0O,O00
Award of Hague Court Gives
Half to Allied
Powers.

Washington. March 1.-THE official
copy of the decision of The Hague
tribunal in the Venezuela case has just
been received at the state depart
ment.
The United States stare Of the .ex-
penses will amount to $500. The
government must also pay fees of it's
own special counsel, which will
amount to a great deal more.
The total Of the claims allowed
against Venezuela is nearly 100000
90. about nalf Of which goes to the
allied powers. Until they are paid
the United States and associated pow
ers get nothing.
The estimated 80 per cent receipts
of customs dues which Venezuela is
to apply to the payments of these
claims is about 100000 per annum,
so that it may be nearly ten years,
unless business increases, before the
nonallied powers begin to receive any
thing.

OFFICIAL LABOR
BAN ON CHICAGO
Federation to Lose Charter if
the Rules Are Not
Obeyed.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service. ~. &
Chicago, March 11.-For jurisdic-
tional offenses committed during the
last year, the Chicago Federation of
Labor must make peace with the
American Federation of Labor or lose
its charter. t-a
This is the official declaration of
William j. Spencer, one Of the vice
presidents of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. He will demand the
revocation of the charter Of the local
federation when the executive council
of the national labor body meets in
Denver, April 10.
The grievance against the Chicago
federation is due to a refusal to seat
the delegates of the corporation
steamfitters, who are chartered under
the United Association of Plumbers,
and the seating of delegates of the
Steamfitters' Protective association, a
rival organization, which the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor has refused
to charter, because it has been de-
cided that the plumbers have jurisdic-
ton over the nine trades.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Butte, Mont, March 11.-Reports
from the eastern part of the state tell
of damage done by high water from
the Yellowstone. At Miles City the ice
in the Tongue river broke up this week
and gorged where it empties into the
Yellowstone, four miles above Miles
City. The river overf1owed it's banks
and the entire residence portion Of the
town is flooded. Dynamite is being
used to break up the blockade, but so
far the attempt has been unsuccessful.
At Glendive the ice has piled up a
short distance above the new steel
bridge, crossing the Yellowstone, and
fears are entertained that when the
mass breaks it will carry the bridge
with it. The bridge was only COM
pleted last fall.
Rock Island Threatened.
Davenport, Iowa, March 11.--Rock
Island is threatened by a big ice gorge
that is rapidly forming in the Missis-
sippi. If the gorge does not break
soon it may do serious damage ito the
government water power.

The trip of the northern educators
to the south to see what can be done
for the welfare Of the negro is liable
to result in considerable good. There
is a great advantage in most depart
ments of human endeavor in an in

the common verdict of the public in
agreeing that golden grain belt beer is
the ideal beverage for daily use in
the home means a good deal more
than a simple declaration of the fact.
Being brewed from the finest barley
malt and hops, with great care that
everything in the process shall be in
accord with the best standards Of pure
brewing, it has won the deservedly
high opinion commonly conceded to it.

It IS a. long distance between st. Johns. New
foundland, and st. Paul, Minnesota by both
water and land. But no distance is too great
to travel II one can only get rid Of a tumor or
cancer, and their terrors.
Neither is the price of cure any considera-
ton; for person with a constantly charging
tumor or eating cancer, life is not worth the
living.
Nothing could be more terrible.
This is what Miss Bessie Bearns Of st. Johns
thought, SO she went to st. Paul and consulted
Specialist O'Keefe
Now read what she says:
Il suffered with a tumor on the left side of
my nose, near the eye, for nineteen years. and
during that time consulted the best physicians
in Newfoundland, all Of whom favored knife
operation as the only method of removing it.
This would not submit to.

o'Keefe and commenced treatment Dec. 10,
