 Selma, June
 Riverview Pavilion has been the scene of many nights joy and merri- ment. The pavilion was a scene of joy and merriment during the early part of last night, but tn was turned to ex- citement and disorder by the cry of ascab"
 Tn the northern end of the hall near the stage the members of Greenes or chestra soon assembled and began tun- ing up their instruments with which to furnish the music for the evening The dance was subscription dance which had been gotten up by number of young men. the majority of who be- Ionged to one of the many different local unions
 When the pleasures of the evening should have started there came the first note of discord. One of the dancers. just as the orchestra began to play the first waltz. made the asser- tio naloud that he would not dance to music made by a 'sscab' orchestra. This was quickly taken up by many of the other young men who are members of different labor unions and the music ceased. They desired that the leader of the orcehstra cut out one of the members, but to this srthe leader would not agree. Then silently the mem bers of the orchestra closed and began to cover up their instruments and the dance was declared of. The union men offered to pay the orchestra for their services. but this was refused and all that was asked of the dancers was the car fare back to the city, which was paid.
 For many months Albert Rogers. has played in this orchestra. Rogers is an employe in the exchange of the Bell Telephone Company in this city. He is what Is termed an inside man. Some time ago when the linemen of the Bell system went out on a strike all over the Southern States, Rogers did not stop but continued to remain in the employ of the company. He claims that he is not member of the line mems union and for that reason, as he had no wrongs against the company, did not go out on the strike but stuck to his work.
 Since the beginning or the strike he has been attending to his work around the exchange here. It Is understood that there has been efforts to get him to go out, but these efforts were unsue- cessful

Young woman Injured.

While enjoying hay ride last night in company with a large number of young ladies and gentlemen, Miss An nie White was struck in the side by a large stone, hurled by some unknown party, and was painfully injured. The party of young people was in a large uncovered wagon and had reasned q point near the corner of Spring and Garden streets in a cery central DOT ton of the city. when tho brick came apparently from a vacant lot, striking Miss White in the side, and cutting a deep long gash. A cry of rain from Miss White. caused the others of the party to cease their lauehter and talk and devote their attention to relieving her suffering.
 While she was being carried home by some of the party. others jumped from the wagon and immediately searched the territory for the person who had committed the deed. but with out success. Deputy Sheriff Johnson and Detective Ray took up the case and in short time arrested Ernest Roach and Jack Bonifay, two young men about twenty years of age. who were held upon the charge of being dangerous and suspicious. charar .ers. The matter Is being further investi- gated today by the officers, who think they have sufficient evidence to convict the two young men of the crime. A reward of $50 has been offered for the conviction of the guilty ones.

RUNNING SORES

Little Girls Obstinate Case Of
Eczema = instantaneous Relief
BY Cuticura "a Little Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
of Torturing Sores = Grateful
Mother Says
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

In reply TO your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to Use it MS you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case Of eczema, | rcsortcd to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so we'll
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tlrcly on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
cdics her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twcniy-four
hours his hands and arms were q mass
ol torturing sores. We used only tho
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuiicurn Soap, and
nnointcd them with the Cuicura Oini-
mcnt, and then gave him the Cuticura
hcsoivcnt. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up so we have
io's OF cause for feeling grateful for the
Cu'ic'Ta Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are valuable
