MEAT FAMINE THREATENED.
New Workers May Be Deprived of the
juicy Steak

Juicy Steak.
New York, July 13-A meat fam.
me is possible here in a few days if
the widespread strike Of the Butch
ers' union continues There is large
amount of meat on hand in the numer
out packing houses about the city
but as $500 members of the union
have been ordered to quit work to
day there will be no one to cut up the
supply.
Roughly speaking" said the presi
dent Of leading firm of packers, 81
should say New York has about one
weeks supply. Practically all of ou1
beef comes from Chicago and other
points affected by the strike, and the
cutting off Of this supply means a fam
inc if the trouble continues. Even
if the strike does not last more than
two or three days, we shall feel its
effect more or less If it lasts a
much longer time we shall simply
have to stop eating beef"
The strike has already caused an
advance of one cent pSSnd in the
wholesale price of beef here. The
employers in this city declare they
will make an effort to get other men
to take the plac eof the strikers.

DAVIS NEPHEW TELLS OF UNCLE
Vice Presidential Nominee Has Rela.
tive In Auuusta

Augusta, Ga, July 13.-There is
more than ordinary interest in Angus.
ia in the success of the candidacy OF
Henry G. Davis for the vice presiden
cy of the United States on the ticket
with Alton B. Parker, from the fact
that Mr.. Davis has a nephew in Au,
gusta who is particularly popular
In talking with Captain Charles d.
Davis, conductor on the Augusta
Southern railroad, yesterday after;
noon about the st. Louis conventiot
it developed that the West Virginian
who has been named for the second
place on the ticket is the half brother
of Captain Davis father.
Captain Davis says the vice presi.
Dental candidate, man formerly from
Maryland, is well along in years, be-
ing now about 81 years old, but is
quite active for one of that age. He
has, Captain aDvis says, extensive
coal mining interests, besides being
quite a prominent railroad magnate.
The gentleman is quite prominent i'll
financial circles, and has an influence
Which will be quite benefit to the
ticket he is running on.
Captain Davis said he was very
much surprised when he read that his
uncle had accepted the nomination for
the vice presidency

REMARKABLE CASE.
American Central Figure In Sensation

American Central Figure In Sensation.
al Paris Affair.
Paris, July ia remarkable case
in which George Church, of Hayatt
Point, R. l., is the central figure, is
being heard by the tribunal Of the
Seine. M. Poulet, a wealthy Partisan
capitalist, disappeared IA years ago
during a voyage around the world He
left $260,000 in French bonds.
After waiting the statutory period
the heirs asked for division of the
estate. Thereafter a will was filed
dated at Sim Than Glaia, island of
Java, in which M. Poulot gave his en-
tire estate to George Church Coun.
sci for the children sought to create
the impression that this was another
case Of mythical Crawfords, as in the
Humbert case, while counsel for Mr..
Church maintained that his client &C.
tually exists, being retired New Eng
land merchant, who recently sailed
from New York for Europe. There
upon the court asked that Mr. Church
be presented to the court and adjourn
ed the case until Friday to permit the
presentation or the production of the
other proofs of his identity
The genuineness of the legacy ap-
pears unquestionable, but the case is
bitterly contested, mainly because OF
suspicious growing out of the fictitious
American heirs in the Humbert case.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Just take your choice. An attack of Fever,
with Quinine as the treatment means a
week or ten days lost from Business,
tmeans- ten days of unhappiness. for YOU
and ten days of hard work and anxiety for
those who love you If you poor man,
your time is worth much to your family,
The rich man might better afford oYsuffer
q lOss'Of of $4,000 day, as result from
enforced absence from business, than the
poor man can lose the value of his labor.
Johnson Tonic has two cardinal points that
should Immediately commend it to every
thinking man in this country.
First of ALL it is harmless Absolutely
harmless. Harmless under all CirCum-
stances.
Second it is quick; it acts at once. In 80
minutes after it's administration, it enters
the blood and begins to undo the mischief
caused by Malaria. 1t is the one great med
icIne that never disappOints. Now take
your choice. Lie in bed for days, maybe
weeks; and poison your digestion with Oui-
nine, and arise finally with all the life and
Vim taken out of you, or use Johnson's Tonic
and be restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force No loss of flesh, No
waste of precious time. Take your choice.

Kansas City, July 13.-At one of the
six packing plants which were shut

butchers and meat cutters strike, kill

scale. The other plants expect to be
running soon with new men. The
big retail dealers have made arrange
ments to do their own killing tempo.
rarily and assert that there will be
no increase iii prices of meat at least
at present. Quiet prevailed early
today among the strikers.
A number Of women have appealed
to the Kansas City, Kans., flood re-
lief committee for aid, saying that
their husbands who were packing
house employees were now idle. The
cutting off Of their income coming on
top of their losses by the recent food
has left them destitute. The strike
will work a hardship to those per-
sons even if they received strike ben.
efits. The strikers remain firm. They
in most cases stay away from the
plants and seem determined to carry
on a peaceful campaign against their
employers.
