 Last Thursday night thieves en- tered the stores of Joe P. Eagle, w. H. Blackwood and Charles c. Mil Ter and rifed the cash drawers in each place. At Eagles store there were two cash drawers and both contained less than a dollar in money, which was taken. Nothing else was taken that could be miss ed. At Blaokwood's $ several dollars were taken from the cash drawer as he had placed several dollars there after he had checked up the night before. There was nothing else missed, and money seemed to be all they were looking for. At Miller's drug store the cash drawer was broken into but nothing had been left in it, so they secured nothing. At all three places the glass was broken out of the front door or window and entrance made in this way. No clew has been SC cured as to the perpetrators as nc one noticed any suspicious charac- ters in town during the day. Thurs day it was supposed that some tramps had been put off freigh' train during the night.

hoped it would be spared the general
fate. Little remains of the original
chapel of 164S, for, in the No Popery

selected it for especial injury, so as
to necessitate an almost entire re-

TROUBLE IN LOUISVILLE.

A labor day riot which, but for the
timely arrival of the police, would
have assumed formidable proportions,
resulted in the injury of four non
union street car employees in Louis
vile. Ky, late Monday afternoon. The
trouble. which occurred at First and
Main streets, was started by a Wo-
man. The labor day parade had just
broken up and the participants were
swarrning on the cars for the park
when the woman refused to ride on a
car operated by non-union men, and
ieered at the unionists for doing so,
urging them to pull the scabs of. Her
words infamed the crowd Immediately
as the street car men have already
voted to 90 on strike. Four cars
operated by non-union crews were
smashed and Motorman Whitehouse
and Conductor FREELY were badly in
jured by men welding boulders, while
two other non-union car men were less
seriously beaten.
The prompt arrival of the police Ere
vented the trouble from spreading
among the thousands of union men
massed in the neighborhood.

of the Metal Polishers' Union, No.

without notice to the company, which
action is said to have been in viola

On the failure of the strike the In

declared boycott against the Bucks
company and its product, inserted
the company's name in its unfair

RIOT STOPS PARADE.
Labor Day Celebration in
Frisco Was Strenuous.
GUN PLAY WAS IN ORDER
Union Paraders Attack Non-Union
Street Car Men Because Latter
Broke Line of March-Several
People Were Wounded.

Several men were wounded, one
probably fatally, during a riot which
occurred Monday afternoon at the Mar
I,et street ferry landing ip San Fran
cisco.
The riot was precipitated by an at
tack on a non-union inspector Of the
United railways and was Participated
in By more than a thousand people.
The parade Of the labor unions af-
filiated with the building trades coun-
Gil had just been dismissed at the
corner of Main and Mission streets
and a large crowd was waiting at the
ferry to 60 across the bay to Shell
Mound park, where exercises have
been part of the days program for
some years.
1t is believed the running OF street
car close to the people caused an at
tack to be made upon Inspector l.. }.
Hail. who was starting the cars for the
United Railways. Fearing the rage OF
the angry crowd, Conductor James
Walking and Motorman F. ]. Durson
drew thei rrevolvers and fired into the
mob. This infuriated the mob still more
and the fighting soon extended along
Market street from the ferry to the
junction OF Sansome and Sutter streets
"a distance Of several blocks. 1t was
some time before the police restored
order :
A block further up, an inspector was
attacked by the mob. He was struck
in the face, and ran from his assail'
ants. They followed him to the corner
of sutter and Montgomery streets,
where they overlook him. He quickly
fired and shot one of the men through
the groin. Six others were hurt. The
police and fire departments sent a
force of police and fremen to the
scene.
The union men who were in the
parade thought that they had the right
of way over the streets of San Fran
cisco, and when the United Railway
attempted to break through the pro-
cession. there was rtouble. What had
been an orderly parade turned to a
riot The labor union men forgot that
the procession stood for law and or
der, and the offending street car men
were violently attacked. These men,
whoewho are known as "scabs' and
"strikebreakers''' by the unionists, were
determined to protect their lives at
any risk, and opened fire after they
had been assailed.

FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.

When person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of the
heat and prickly sensation, it is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce. 1t
shows III one way in one person and
in another way in another In this
case the lady lived in S. Oak. She
says:
II have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limos out Of
the bed on the coldest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear Of catching
cold. l had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the
lower limbs, and for most of the time
I have been unable to go to church
or to lectures because Of that awful
feeling that l must keep on the move.
when it was brought to my atten-
ton that coffee caused so many nerv-
Gus diseases, I concluded to drop cof-
fee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see if my trouble was caused by cof-
fee drinking.
Il only drank one cup of coffee for
breakfast, but that was enough to do
the business for me. When l quit it
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now l have no
more of the jerking and twitching
and can sleep with any amount OF
bedding over me and sleep all night
in sound, peaceful rest.

LABOR TO FIGHT.
Gompers Says Manufacturers Sought
/ to DELAY Criminal Action.

Washington, D. C.-The Injunction
proceeding brought in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia
against the officers of the American
Federation of Labor by the National
Manufacturers Association will be
answered by a conspiracy suit from
the labor organizations against the
Manufacturers Association. The au-
thority for this statement is Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers, of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, who said
that he was authorized to instruct the
attorneys of his organization to pre-
pare the papers in the action.
Another development in the con-
test between organized labor and the
Manufacturers Association is likely
to be an application to the Postofice
Department for fraud order against
the American Federationist. This is
the organ of the American Federation
of Labor that prints the "unfair list"
against which an injunction is sought
by the Manufacturers Association.
Daniel Davenport, Of Bridgeport,
Conn. one of the attorneys OF the
Manufacturers Association, took
steps to bring the complaint to the
attention Of the Postofice Depart
ment
President Gompers declares that
the officers of the Manufacturers AS
sociation began their suit hurriedly.
to forestall the criminal prosecution
of themselves by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. He insisted that
the American Federation has had
under consideration plans for the
prosecution e. of the Manufacturers
Association for some time, and that
by some means President Van Cleave,
of the Manufacturers Association,
learned OF the Federation's purpose
and brought the Injunction proceed
ing to counteract the effect of the
contemplated suit.

Fertilizer for Wheat.

Ia some parts of the Last farmers are
giving up wheat growing. Many of them
think it useless to try and compete with
the newer and richer soils OF the West
Many argue that wheat growing ls protta-
bic only on new and rich soil. Mr.. G.. K.
Mckenzie. of :Westheld New Brunswick.
undertook TO see if BY the use of chemical
fertilizers on poor soil he could not COM
pete with Western grain fields.
he selected piece of dark loan, shght-
ly gravelly soil which had had no fertilizer
for ten years. 1t had been III grass, and
farmers can readily understand its poor
soil. Mr.. Mckenzie used nothing on one
part of the field On another part he used
Thomas Phosphate TO supply phosphoric
acid and nitrate OF soda to supply nitrogen.
On another part he used the phosphate
and the nitrate and in addition. muriate
of potash The object of this was to see
which element was the key to wheat
crop on that soil.
Potash gave the WELD Tie answer was
clear, as the following figures show:

The natural soil gave 'oniy 10 bushels.
The phosphate and the nitrate brought
the WELD to 25 bushels, but when the
potash was added there was IN increased
weld OF Is bushels per acre 1t is evident
that this increase was directly due to the
potash. and when we compare the cost OF
The potash with the price received tor. 10
bushels of wheat We see that Jew other
farm investments could have paid so well.
, Consider the price of wheat and straw on
an Eastern farm and it is plain that no
Western wheat field can compare acre for
acre with such yield as 10 bushels. The
main reason why some Eastern farmers
say that wheat will not pay IS because the
use the wrong kind OF fertilizer. They
. use smell of nitrogen; peck Of phos,
phoric acid and pinch of potash. No
wonder their Weld is pool. Mr. Mcken-
zie's experiment shows why. The wheat
crop demands potash. ii the ,oil will rot
supply it the fertilizer must do so.
