and Of designs 10 suit the Chinese
taste. They are made in England,

Springfield, o., March 1.-When the
sun rose Thursday morning this city
was at peace and aside from the pres
ence of the militia men, there was no
available evidence of the disorderly
scenes of the night After playing a
game Of tag with various bands of
youthful rowdies, who for four or five
hours Wednesday night caused most
OF the disorder, the militia at an early
hour settled down to rest in appar-
emily complete control of the situa-
ton. 1t was not, however, until Colo
mel Charles Ammel, commanding the
eight companies of soldiers, issued
orders to. arrest whole parties of men
who were found congregated at one
place, and who, in some instances, re-
fused at first TO disperse, that the dis
order was brought to check
The plan adopted by tne militia was
to surround a group of men and boys
and if they did not Immediately dis
perse, place them under arrest and
conduct them to headquarters.
The first result of this plan was the
arrest of a gang of fourteen rowdies
by squad of police commanded by
Sergeant Johnson. Within half an
hour Major Marshall, of the Fourth
regiment, commanding a detachment
of troops rounded up another party of
nine and took them to headquarters
From this time forward the crowds
on the streets began to disappear and
the disorder ceased.
In the meantime there was intense
excitement which was augmented
every little while during the night
by the news of fresh outbreak some
where.
Wildly exaggerated reports Of
burning and shooting were circulated
during the earlier hours of the night
Few people slept until long after mid
night. The net results of the nights
troubles, however, were not so seri-
GUS as might naturally have been ex-
peCtcd.
Three houses occupied by negroes
were burned and several others were
stoned. All are in different localities,
but are in negro districts.
Three persons were injured. A ne
gro woman sustained a broken leg by
jumping from window, and OrIa Will
lis, a 15-year-old white boy, received
a load of buckshot in his leg while a
crowd was stoning a house in the rear
of St. Joseph's church
Brakeman Martin Davis, who was
wounded by the drunken negroes, Dean
and Ladd, Monday night, was the i'm
mediate cause Of the rtoting, was still
alive at o'clock Thursday. After
the operation, which was performed
about 10 o'clock Wednesday night, the
injured man showed signs of weak
ness toward morning and his recovery
is not probable.
The authorities are hoping against
hope that Davis may not die. If he
should die, it is feared that more
trouble will follow
One of the striking results Cf the out
break is the citizens movements which
was started Wednesday evening and
which is rapidly taking form, is call
being issued for the meeting of the
Commercial Club Thursday evening. 1t
is expected that this movement will
not only have much to do with re-
storing order, but will be made per
manently effective in future emergen-
cy. The business men Of the city are
convinced that there nas been too
much leniency in the handling of row.

The widely heralded and sensational
"muck-rake" speech Of President
Roosevelt was delivered at the laying
of the corner stone of the office build
ing for the house Of representatives
at Washington. Recognizing the ex.
istence of evils, social and economic,
the president urges warfare, but de-
plores the actions of those who make
indiscriminate attacks on men OF
business or public life, declaring such
a course would only react in favor
of the INSCRIPTIONS. The huge for
tunes being amassed in this country
are regarded as menace to public
welfare and a progressive tax is
urged whereby these fortunes should
be curtailed and limited to a certain
amount Rich men are also warned
of the danger in attempting to pre-
vent the regulation and control OF
their business in the interest Of the
public.

Expires Next Day.

Washington.-Two years to a day
later than the fatal Missouri disas-
ter and, as every sailor Immediately
recalled, on a Friday and the 18th of
the month, six men were done to
death in the forward turret of the bat
tleship kearsarge by one of those ac-
cidents which acquire additional ter
ror for sailors because of their OBJ
scure origin and almost impoSsibiiity
of prevention.
The Atlantic fleet, the strongest
fighting feet America has ever owned,
had been for weeks engaged in the
most sevre drills in the waters of
the Caribbean sea, eliminating in the
quarterly target practice. This prac-
tice was just about concluding with
most satisfactory results up to Friday,
and it was confidently expected at
the department, upon the basis OF
preliminary reports, that all records
would be broken in the matter of
rapidity of fire and efficiency of the
gunners.
But Saturday, just at the close Of
the weeks work at the department,
came cablegram from Rear Admiral
Evans, the commanding chief of the
Atlantic fleet, telling of dreadful ac-
cident on one of his best ships, the
Kearsarge.
When the cipher message was re-
duced to form it read as follows:

When the blood is impoverished the
nerves starve and neuralgia or something
more serious swiftly follows. Nervous
people are generally pale people. BY
supplying through the blood those vital
elements that the nerves need, DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People have
performed those remarkable cures that
make it impossible for any nervous sur
ferer to neglect them.
A recent case is that of Mrs. Peter

"My trouble started with childbirth.
After one of my children was born had
kind of paralysis. l was very weak
and my mouth was little crooked.
was always tired and was so nervous
that could not bear to hear dog bark
or bell ring-even the little bird III it's
cage would annoy me. My heart fiut-
tered great deal and had dizzy spells.
was not able to be left alone.
"My doctor gave me different kinds of
medicine, changing it several times.
| When it was evident that he could not
help me he said he did not understand
my case. This was three years ago and
I was very much discouraged, when my
brother, who had taken DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, recommended them to me. /
tried them and noticed a change for the
better when was taking the second box.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured me and
have been well ever since. now do all

DR.. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured diseases caused by impure or inn
poverished blood such as rheumatism,
anamia and after-effects of the grip.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills or the remedy will be mailed, post
paid, on receipt of price, 90 cents per
