day. Immediately there was firing
from some unknown source, which has
not yet been determined. Roxy MCGEE

ing, while Attorney S. d. Crump Of this
city, special representative Of Governor
Peabody was wounded, as were also
Peter Christman, Fred Strubement, J.
j. Osmer and II. G. Murphy. The
greatest excitement prevails.
In attempting TO quell a disturbanc,
on Fourth street, where one man was
killed and half a dozen wounded, a
squad of national guardsmen was fired
upon.
The uniformed men, acting under the
direction Of Major Naylor, had just
swung into Fourth street when a vol
ley was poured into them from the
roofs of houses on both sides of the
street. They returned the fire and by
order of the commanding officer raced
on double quick until they came tc
the union miners hall.
There We're about sixty miners in the
hall. Soldiers stationed in the streets
and on the roofs of buildings across
the street fired volleys through the
curtained windows Of the union hall
After exhausting their ammunition in
return fire the miners came downstairs
with hands uplifted and bearing q
white flag They were surrounded by
soldiers and escorted to the bull pen.
From all accounts about 175 men are
now held in the military prison. Fom
persons were wounded in the ARRAY.
Sheriff Bell ordered the entire force
of special policemen TO take off their
badges and carry their guns to their
homes or he would arrest them. He
said his deputies would control the sit
nation. Major II. A. Naylor was ap.
pointed by Bell to succeed Chief OF

Made Temporary Truce.

James vi of -afterward
James 1. of England-in 1887, being
much perturbed by the constant quar-
rels among his mobiles, determined to
end all disputes by a summary process
of reconciliation. Accordingly, having
assembled the mobiles on Sunday, May
IA, at HolyroOd, in the lodging of Sir
James Maitland of Thirlstane, he drank
to them and caused them all to shake
hands. On the following day, after
banqueting them in Holyrood, he
caused the earls of Angus, Montrose,
Mar and G1encairn, also the master of
Glammis, and many others-a1 deadly
enemies to one another-to march
hand in hand two abreast from the
abbey to Holyrood along the Canon
gate and High street of Edinburgh to
the town cross, where the provost and
babies had table spread with wines
and sweetmeats. Here the company
once more drank to their eternal
amity and separated. But few weeks
later they were lying in wait, as of
old, to kill one another.

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 25.-(Spe-
cial )-That Rheumatism can be cured
has been proved beyond a doubt by
Mrs. Betsey A. Clawson, we'll known
here. That Mrs. Clawson had Rheu-
matism and had it bad, all her ac-
quaintauces know. They also know
she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills
did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story OF
her cure as follows:
st was an invalid for most five
years caused by Infiammatory Rheu-
matism, helpless two-thirds of the
time. The first year 1 could not do
as much as a baby could do; then l
rallied little bit and then relapse.
Then year ago the govt set in my
hands and feet l suffered untold
agony and in August, 1903, when my
husband died 1 could not ride to the
grave.
q only took two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks 1
could wait on myself and saw my own
wood. / dug my own potatoes and
gathered my own garden last fall.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me-"
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

DOOM OF GREAT SALT LAKE.
Scientists Say II Will Dry Up Within
Half a Century.

Statistics indicate that Great Salt
lake, the Dead sea of America, is
doomed-that it is gradually drying
up The opinion now almost universal
ly prevails among scientists that this
mysterious body of water, located at
an altitude OF 4,210 feet above the sea
level and 1000 miles inland, and
which has but a single rival, the Dead
sea of Palestine, is certain within the
course of a half century to disappear
from the map. Some scientists, who
have made careful study of the fluc-
tuations of the lake for the past sever
al years, even declare that it will be
dried up within a quarter of a CEN
fury.
Sixteen years ago, in 1886, the area
of the lakes surface was estimated at
about 2,70O square miles. Taking
twenty feet as the average depth at
that time, one may estimate 1,5o5,-
433 600, 900 cubic feet as the contents
of the lake. To-day, according to re-
cent surveys, the lake has an area of
about 2,125 square miles. Multiplying
this number by liz, the number of
feet in depth of the water that has dis
appeared and not been replaced, gives
669, us, 10000 cubic feet as the guam
tity of water less than what the lake
had sixteen years ago.
Observers of the lake have assigned
three causes for the shrinkage of it's
water. They are evaporation, irriga-
ton and a subterranean outlet that
some suppose to exist. There are ar
dent advocates of each of these theor-
les.
