FIERCE FIGHT IN SARDINIA.
Several People Killed in Clash Between
Strikers and Troops.

New York, May ia cable dis
patch to the Herald from Cagliari, Sar-
DINA, says:
Several persons were killed and
many wounded in a collision between
troops and strikers here yesterday and
further trouble is expected. Reinforce
ments of the small garrison have been
urgently demanded and warships with
troops have left Genoa and Leghorn.
Trouble began Monday as the Gull
mination of a great increase in the
price of food and an anarchistic agita-
ton leading the Workmen to strike.
Thousands of men marched to the state
tobacco mandatory and to other
establishments forcing the workmen to
upsetting street cars and cabs. There
was another and more serious demon
stration yesterday. Preceded by
woman. bearing q red flag with large
loaf of bread on top Of the staff
parade of strikers was formed and
passed in front of the mayors house,
demanding his resignation. Next they
went to the railway station, which was
guarded by troops, whom they pro-
their ground without firing until the
colonel. Count Ponza Di San. Martina,
and Captain Candfni had both been in
jured by the missiles and twenty-five
of the troops and police agents serious
~ wounded.
Then there was a scattering fusillade
from the soldiers and the crowd fed in
panic leaving forty-two of its number
lying wounded in the street. OF these
two died before reaching the hospital,
four are dying and eleven are in a
dangerous condition. All the shops are
closed. no newspaper has appeared and
the suspension of work is general.

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, chronic
kidney disease is the most fatal. In
fact, unless early and correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom
survives.
Being fully aware of this, Lydia
E. Pinkham, early in her career, gave
exhaustive study to the subject, and in
producing her great remedy for
woman's ills - Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound-was careful to
see that it contained the correct eombi-
nation of herbs which was sure to con
troll that fatal disease, woman's kidney
troubles. Lydia E Pinlxham's Vepe-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. Derangements Of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, bael1ache, 7oearing-down pains,

FOR AN ELEPHANT RANCH.
james Coster, of Chicago, Proposes to
Start One in Mexico.

Monterey. Mex. May Thames
Coster of Chicago and a number Of
capitalists of Pasadena, Cal, are ar
ranging to establish a large elephant
ranch in Mexico. It will be the first
attempt ever made to raise elephants
on a large scale for the market. The
animals will be sold to menageries,
museums, circuseS and others who
may desire them Mr.. Coster has
been inspecting lands in Mexico with
the view of selecting a tract suitable
believes that the new industry can
be carried on with great success. He
said.
elephants thrive in hot countries.
It is their native land. Now look at
! ostriches. They live on the Great Sa-
hara- desert, where it is hot in dead
earnest. At present there are two
very successful ostrich ranches in the
United states; one near Pasadena,
and the other near Phoenix, Ariz.
The big birds are thriving and the
men behind the proposition are get
ting rich, not only on the plumes, but
by selling the birds to menageries and
circuses. These Pasadena people saw
the success of the ostriches. and as
one of the originators had spent sew
eral years in India, his next thought
was, Why not raise elephants2' I
met them while I was out west, and
now I am considerably interested in
the proposition myself
.fAt first we thought we would start
the farm near Pasadena, but circum-
stances interviewed, so started out to
see if I could find a place that would
suit US better in Arizona or northern
Mexico. I would like to find place
as near the market in the states as
could and at the same time be
located where it never gets cold.
Somewhere near Tampico strikes me
as being pretty good, if they have the
right kind of climate, because from
there we could ship our stock direct
to New York by water, where most of
the circuses are Quilted"
Mr.. Coster says that just any hot
climate will not do, but that it is bet
ter to have it near the climate of In
dia as possible. He does not want to
deteriorate from the regular India
elephant and he would bend all en-
ergles to breeding the big jungle kind.

Here is a peculiar story of the Webb
Springfield game from the Webb
City Times: At this point the Webb
City mascot came to the aid of his
team and won the game. Persch threw
to the plate to stop Rollings. His
throw was about ten feet wide. Groom
fastened to the home base to receive
the toss from Seabaugh. Before he
arrived the game was won. Standing
on the base, clapping his hands and
yelling, Here I am; throw it to mel"
the mascot clapped his hands. Sea-
baugh supposed it was Groom, and
threw to the plate. The mascot let
the ball go, picked up his bats and
started for the bench while Groom
chased the ball and Rollings scored
the winning run The mascot played a
bold trick and won.
St. Joe gave a free season pass to the
person who guessed nearest the actual
attendance on the opening day. The
guesses ranged from 400 to SAT. The
last number came nearest. The actual
attendance on opening day was 444!

Fred Granting, aged ~, son Of
James H. Gramling, a farmer living

m1itted suicide yesterday afternoon be-
tween l and o'clock with shotgun.
It appears young Granting and his
father We're making hay near Wilton
yesterday for Robert Cotton, the
hyeryman, when Fred left the field
and went to the shanty near by and
soon after gunshot was heard from
the shanty. Going there horrible
sight met the eye of the father
Young Granting had got on the bed
and propped himself up against the
wall. He then placed the muzzle of a
loaded shotgun in his mouth and
pulled the trigger with the claw end
OF tackhammer with the above re-
suit. The room presented horrible
spectacle as blood and brains we're
spattered about the walls and ceiling.
Z. AS the shooting occurred in this
county Sheriff WEIGH was at once
notified, who in company with George
Upright and Justice Kaiser, acting
coroner, fastened to Wilton in HEM
ler's automobile. After listening to
the statements of several witnesses an
Inquest was deemed unnecessary by
the coroner and the body was turned
over to the relatives for burial.
1t appears the boy was not very
bright mentally and seemed deter
mined to leave home and make a way
for himself, but on account of his low
mentality his people were unwilling
that he should leave them. This
seems to have worked upon his mind
with such force that suicide followed.
He seemed in his usual frame of mind
during the day and no one dreamed
he even meditated such a dreadful
end.
