MINISTER QUELLS ROW
A DISGRACEEUL AFFAIR IN
MCPHERSON LAST NIGHT.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
graceful affair, that happened in Nc
Pherson township last evening, is to
be aired in the courts, and will
doubtless result in the punishment of
the guilty. Warrants were issued
today by County Attorney Plymat for
the arrest of George Beck and Louis
Tietz on the charge of assault in the
third degree upon George McComb,
and for the arrest of William Beck on
the charge of manning McComb. The
parties all live in Medo, but the af-
fair happened at a school house in
Mcpherson, where religious services
were held last evening.
From the account of the affair
given the county attorney, McComb
and his brother, Roy, attended the
services, and are highly respected
young men, Roy McComb having a
family. About ten minutes before the
services were concluded, the two Beck
boys and Tietz came to the church,
kicked in the door and entered and
took seats.
After the services the three defend
ants accused Roy McComb of having
slurred them over the telephone from
the Dumbeck farm, which he denied.
Some words were spoken, and George
McComb came to the support of his
brother, and showed that the latter
was not at the Dumbeck house at that
time. William Beck then clinched with
George McComb and they fell together,
and Beck got McComb's thumb in his
mouth and chewed it. Tietz then
struck McComb, giving him a black
eye and cutting his face somewhat.
Roy McComb held George Beck back
when the latter wanted to join in
the attack on George McComb and
when the parties got up, George Beck
drew a knife and wanted to use it,
but the minister arrived on the scene
and brought about peace.

Warm and Dry To Stay Well.

Now is the time when the doctor
gets busy, and the patent medicine
manufacturers reap the harvest, un-
less great care is taken to dress
warmly and keep the feet dry. This
is the advice of an old eminent au-
thority, who says that Rheumatism
and Kidney trouble weather is here,
and also tells what to do in case of
an attack.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract,
Dandelion, one ounce Compound .Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparila. Mix by shaking in bot
tie and take teaspoonful after meals
and at bedtime.
just try this simple home made mix
ture at the first sign of Rheumatism,
or if your back aches or you feel that
the kidneys are not acting just right.
This is said to be splendid kidney
and almost certain remedy
for all forms of Rheumatism, which is
caused by uric acid in the blood, which
the kidneys fail to filter out, Any one
can easily prepare this at home and at
small cost.
Druggists in this town and vicinity,
when shown the prescription, stated
that they can either supply these in
gradients, OF, if our readers prefer,
they will compound the mixture for
them.

The oldest hide, fur and wool house
in the northwest is that of d. Berg
man & company, of st. Paul.
This firm began business in small
way in 1867, and which has gradu-
ally grown, until they are now the
largest house, in this line, in the north
west.
On account of the enormous increase
in their business it was necessary to
secure new quarters and last year
they erected in st. Paul the largest,
most modern, and best equipped build
ing for their line of business in the
United States. They have private
trackage upon which five cars can be
loaded or unloaded at the same time,
and the building has a capacity of fif-
teen million pounds and is so con-
structed that they can handle goods
promptly and at the smallest expense,
thus giving shippers prompt cash
returns and the highest market prices.
When shipping your hides, or furs
remember this firm if you want top
market prices and immediate cash re-
turns.
Market letter and shipping tags with
full instructions for shipment will be
sent on request.

TWO MORE BODIES FOUND
Three Hundred and TWENTY two Taken
From West Virginia Mines.

From West Virginia Mines.
Monongah, w. Va, Dec. 14.-Al-
though the search had been aban-
doned, two more victims of the eXplo-
sion in Mines and 8 of the Fairmont
Coal company have been found. In
spectors, who have stopped all work
until they can make an investigation,
found the bodies while exploring Mine
No. 6. This makes the total number
recovered 322. Coal company officials
at the conclusion of a house to house
canvass announced 33S men missing,
Indicating sixteen bodies still in the
mines, which are supposed to be I'M
der falls of slate and earth that have
not yet been disturbed. The officers
later received information which
slightly increases their estimate of the
.otal number of victims. A number of
contractors and men employed by
them, it is believed, are counted in
the company figures.
Chief State Mine Inspector ]. w.
Paul of West Virginia has gone to
Fayette City, Pa, to investigate GER
tain phases Of the explosion OF the
Naomi mine there that may throw
light on the disaster here. Arrange
ments for the inquest have been sus-
pended until he returns. 1t has not
been decided by Coroner E. S. Amos
whether the coroner's jury will in
spect' the mines. Governor William
o. Dawson, other state officers and
specialists from several other states
are expected to attend the inquest.

OF GREAI
Decision of Equity Court Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.

Decision of Equity Court Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Washington, Dec 1S.-Of farreach-
Ing Importance to labor and business
interests throughout the country is
the decision announced by Justice
Gould of the equity court of the Dis
trict of Columbia, enjoining the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor with it's men,
bership of 100000 or more from boy
cotting the Buck Stove and Range
company of st. Louis and of printing
In its official organ the company's
name in unfair" and I'VE don't pa
tronize" lists and the decision arraigns
the action of the federation as an il
legal conspiracy.
There will be an argument before
Judge Gould over a proposition of
counsel for the defense that the court S
order putting the Injunction decision
into effect limiting, in express terms,
its application to the District of Co.
lumbia. Counsel for the plaintiff CON-
pany will oppose this.
The injunction granted, while of a
temporary character, was allowed in a
decision in which Judge Gould ex-
haustively reviewed the case, made
copious citations of authorities, quoted
precedents as to boycott definitions
and said there was no room for argu-
ment as to the conspiracy alleged be-
ing established. The question of a
permanent injunction will come up
probably next spring and whichever
side wins in the final settlement, the
case, it is believed, will be appealed
to the supreme court of the United
States.
Judge Gould pointed out from the
bench that he had not in his decision
taken up the question of inhibition of
the boycott under the Sherman anti
trust law of the interstate commerce
commission act
Attorney J. H. Ralston, of counsel
for the federation, said he had no
opinion to express regarding the de-
cision, that the injunction was tenn
parary one, and that insofar as the
Sherman law or the interstate COM
merce law, which question had been
raised in the proceedings was con-
cerned, he regarded the decision, as
affecting that phase of the case, VIC
tory for the Defense
Former Assistant Attorney General
Buck for the prosecution regarded the
decision as a sweeping victory for the
opponents of the boycott.

LORD KELVIN Is DEAD.
Noted Scientist Passes Away In Glas-
gov.

Glasgow, Dec. 1S.-Lord Kelvin, the
noted scientist, is dead. He suffered
a chill a fortnight ago. On Wednes-
day last serious complications de-
veloped. Hope for his recovery was
then abandoned. He lost conscious
ness Tuesday afternoon and remained
unconscious until he passed away
peacefully.
Until the time of his fatal seizure,
Lord Kelvin preserved remarkable
vigor of body and mind. He leaves
no heir and his title becomes extinct.
The newspapers pay him the high
est tribute as the foremost scientist of
the age, comparable with Newton and
Faraday.

vim, was born at Belfast, Ireland, June
&c, 1874 He was a celebrated mathe-
matician and physicist, and occupied

The Sidewalk Situation.

Several months ago the city en-
gineer began serving notice on va
rious property owners that sidewalks
would have to be put down in front
of their prospective properties.
Some of them built walks;
Most Of them did not.
From time to time, and for the
accommodation of citizens, the city
authorities extended the limit in
which walks could be built by the
owners: not wishing to work injury
or injustice in any case.
More than half of the required
sidewalk is still unbuilt, and the city
engineer is now taking steps to let
contracts for the construction of
these unfinished stretches, the cost
of which will be assessed against
the property.

PLANNING new
HIGH SCHOOL
Believed That Suitable Site Is Found
City Needs New Seat of Ad-
vanccd Instruction.

The school authorities have for
mally decided on proposed site for
new high school building.
The spot chosen for a new insti-
tuition of learning is in the Fairview
addition. near the residence of NJ. o.
Tibbits, and is owned by the Wenat-
chez Realty Company.
$4,000 is mentioned as the prob
able consideration for tract of ten
lots, with a frontage of $50 feet.
1t is understood that the Wenat-
chez Realty Company, in considera-
tion of the purchase of the school
site, would consent to donate an ad-
ditional tract of land for park pur-
poses.
A special election will be called
that the voters OF the city may ex-
/ press themselves on the question OF
the proposed high school, so badly
needed.
The question Of how large a struc.
ture should be put up is still under
advisement .sssf-,
1t is the opinion of the. directors,
however, that a building amply large
, TO k eap pace with the growth OF
the city should be put up. 1t will
be remembered that when a former
building was erected a number OF
the oldest inhabitants raised noisy
objections to the extravaganza" and
said that the most ambitious parents
could not expect to live to see the
day when there would be children
enough in town to fill such large
building And yet, that same school
had to be enlarged within two OF
three years-and is again overflow
ing.
Later. Arthur Gum has just Of
fered the board a tract of IL lots i'm
mediately opposite the above site for
$500.
An election will probably be called
for two weeks from Saturday. the p ~
pie voting on the question Of the
proposed new school building and rh1
. choice OF sites.
