SCHOOL HEADS IN FATAL DUEL.
Professor U. F. Duff, Famed as an
Archaeological, Shot Dead.

Deming, New Mexico.-Professor W.
IL. Dickey, superintendent of the Dem
ing Public Schools, shot and instantly
killed Professor U. Francis Duff, su-
perintendent of the Luna County
schools, one of the most prominent ed
ucators in New Mexico and a student
of archaeology who had achieved ma
tional reputation by his writings.
The shooting took place shortly after
noon in front of the postotfice in the
main street of Deming.
Dickey had been driving about town
in a buggy during The morning and had
passed Professor Duff several times.
As he drove in front of the postoffice
Duff stepped out, drew a revolver from
his pocket and called 10 Dickey to stop.
Quick a flash Dickey drew his re-
volver, leaped from the buggy and
opened fire. Both pistols cracked at
once. Professor Duff fell dead with a
bullet through his head. Dickey was
shot in the side, but is not believed to
be fatally hurt.
For come months there had been
bad blood between the men, arising
from differences in connection with the
management of the Deming schools,
although it is limited that personal mat
tiers have also entered into the quarrel.
It is said that Duff had frequently
threatened to shoot Dickey on sight. 1t
was simply { question of which could
shoot first.

A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect

No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than q
trained nurse.
Speaking Of coffee a nurse of Wilkes
Barre, Pa, writes: 81 used to drink
strong coffee myself and suffered great
ly from headaches and Indigestion.
While on a visit to my brothers l had
a good chance to try Postum Food Cof-
fee, for they drank it altogether In
place of ordinary coffee. In two weeks,
after using Postum, l found l was
much benefited and finally my head
aches disappeared and also the indiges-
ton.
Naturally l have since used Postum
among my patients. and have noticed a
marked benefit where coffee has been
left off and Postum used.
81 observe a curious fact about Pos
tum used among mothers. 1t greatly
helps the flow of milk in cases where
coffee is inclined to dry it up, and
where tea causes nervousness.
81 find trouble in getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most al
ways serve it before it has been boiled
long enough. 1t should be boiled Is or
20 minutes and served with cream,
when it is certainly a delicious bever-
age"

POLICE FIRE ON STRIKERS
Four Men Shot Down in Pennsy-
vania Coal Region.
MINERS EXCITED AND ANGRY

Mounted ~Constabulary Fight For Life
With Foreign Miners at Mount
Carmel - Riot Caused by Report
That the Terms of Agreement
Were Rejected.
Wilkesbarre, Pa. Mobs of riotous
foreigners attacked twenty-five men of
Troop G of the Pennsylvania State
Mounted Police at Mount Carmel. In
repulsing them the troopers shot seven
teen, four of whom were fatally in
jured, two others being in a critical
condition. Four troopers are injured,
l.. L. Koch being the most seriously
hurt.
The rioting started, following a mass
meeting of foreign born mine workers,
at which their leaders told them the
operators had refused to grant any of
their demands. An attack was planned
upon seventy employees of the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company at the Sayre
colliery, where they are sinking a shaft

no coal.
Sheriff Sharpless asked for Troop G.,
and Lieutenant Smith and twenty-five
men were rushed to the scene. When
they reached Mount Carmel the Sheriff
was not there and the local authorities
were missing, but news of their ar
rival soon filled the streets with an ex-
cited throng, and the Commercial
Hotel, where they breakfasted, was
surrounded and stoned by the crowd,
while the troopers were hooted and
cursed, and when they appeared at the
door were pelted with stones.
They charged with clubs. but the
crowd fed before them and again
fired volley after volley of stones at
them. -Four men had been struck and
badly injured when Lieutenant Smith
ordered the men to draw their revolv-
ers and fire. At the first few volleys
few were hit, the bullets going high,
and the rioters replied with showers
of stones and some shots.
Three times the troopers loaded their
revolvers and fired more than $50
shots. The mob fought back, bowling.
cursing. throwing stones and clubs,

paying nc heed to those who fell be-
fore the steady fire of the revolvers.
Not until they had exhausted the last
cartridges did the troopers withdraw
and make their way hastily to the
Sayre Colliery, where they found pro-
lection behind the high stockade.
Meanwhile the rioters, picking up
their wounded, slowly dispersed. and
when Sheriff S%harpless arrived the
town was quiet. He reached the COL
liery and took refuge behind the stock
ade with the troopers. In his opinion
the force, although it was reinforced
by the remaining members of Troop
G, until Lieutenant Smith has more
than fifty men, was not strong enough
to attack the mob.
The town has a population of $500
foreigners, and these were aroused to
a high pitch of excitement. A large
number of them are drinking heavily,
and it is feared there may be serious
trouble.

FATAL. TEXAS TORNADO
Village of Bellevue Wiped Out by
Wind and Fire,
Much Damage Caused by Storm in
Stoneberg, Montague, Buffalo Springs,
Shannon and Other Places.

Bowie, Texas.-The tornado which
destroyed the town of Bellevue, five
miles northwest of here, did much
damage to the towns of Stoneberg,
Montague, Buffalo Springs, Shannon
and other smaller places.
The path of the stofm was about
five miles wide and nearly thirty miles
long. Many farm houses were de-
stroyed.
Only n building is left standing in
the town Of Bellevue. Fire caught in
the Wreckage and completed the work
of destruction. The town had a popu-
lation of several hundred persons, and
they are all homeless.
The dead are: Robert Carr, Mrs. r.
l.. Russell and five children, r. l.. Rus
sell, Mrs. Robert Carr, Tom Mount,
two children of J. 3. Greer, w. w.
Bell, of Henrietta.
About twenty-five persons were in
jured. The property loss is more than
5000, 900.
The first news came to Bowie. A
horseman covered will sweat and dust
galloped in at s o'clock o. M. and
br~eathlessly reported that Bellevue had
been entirely wiped out by a tornado
which struck at 6 o'clock, and only
about three of all its houses we're left
standing. Soon after the storm, he
said. fire had broken out and threat
ened to complete the devastation.
Bowie was aroused and Immediately
got into communication with Dallas,
which at nnan ct0ptad ont r.alinf froinc
for the scene of the catastrophe.
Shortly after the sky in the direction
of Bellevue became red, and the people
of Bowie could see that what was left
of the town was burning up.
Bowie received a message from the
City Marshal, of Hico, another town in
the path of the storm, saying that Hico
had been badly injured. and Hamilton.
a town neal by, had been nearly de-
strOyed by the force of the wind. He
reported, however, that as far as he
knew, there was no loss of life. Stone
berg, the other town in the path of the
storm, is reported to have been injured
almost as badly as Bellevue.
The inhabitants throughout Clay
County are used to tornadoes If great
er or less force and are equipped with
cyclone cellars and other means of
lodging the force of the wind. This
undoubtedly saved many lives. The
storm, however, one of the severest in
years-struck just at the time when
most of the people were at supper.
At this time of year cyclones are fire.
quent in this part of Texas, but it is
seldom that Il causes destruction over
such a large area. The houses are built
low and for the most part of adobe to
withstand such storms, and one that
could complete such destruction must
have been of unusual force.

Longest of Steel Ropes.

In a short time Calumet may justly
claim to have the largest steel wire
rope in the world, says a Calumet cor
respondent of the Detroit Free Press.
The new rope will be used in the No. 4
shaft of the Calumet branch Of the
mine. The rope will have a length of
$500 feet, which is not quite two miles
in length. The diameter Of this cable
is 1% inches, which is somewhat heav-
Ter than the ordinary rope which is
used in the mine work. At the present
time the Calumet and the Hecla has
some cables which equal the one Sc
cured In length, but they are not as
heavy as the new steel rope. 1t can be
safely said that the new rope will be
the longest of this character and thick
ness in the world.

TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP.
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and
Limbs-An Old Soldier Declares:
"Cuticura is a Blessing"

"Cuticura is a Blessing"
"At all times and to all people l am
willing to testify to the merits of Cuti-
cura. 1t saved me from worse chan the
torture of hades, about the year 1900, with
itching on my scalp and temples, and af-
terwards it commenced to break out on
my hands. Then it broke out on my limbs.
l then went to a surgeon, whose treat
ment did me no good, but rather aggra-
waited the disease. l then told him l
would go and see a physician in Erie. The
reply was that l could go anywhere, but
a case of eczema like mine could not be
cured; that l was too old (SO). l went to
an eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
treated with him for six months, with
like results. l had read of the Cuticura
Remedies, and so | sent for the C~uticura
Soap, Ointment and Resolvent. and con-
tinued taking the Resolvent until l had
taken six bottles, stopping it to take the
Pills. l was now getting better. | took
two baths a day, and at night L let the
lather of the Soap dry on. l used the
Ointment with great effect after washing
in warm water, to stop the itching at
once. L am now cured. The Cuticura
treatment is a blessing, and should be
used by every one who has itching of the
skin. l can't say any more, and thank
God that He has given the world such a
curative. VIM. H. Gray, 1903 Mt. Vernon
