the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first

these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition Of the
kidneys and bladder and not to habit as

DRIVEN FROM KEY
BY STRIKING MOB
Non.unlon Operator In Wisconsin has
to Flee for Life.
Wires Tempered With in Suspicious
Manner Strikers Blame Incom-
petent Operators--western Union
Office at Arkansas City, Kansas
Burned by Firebugs.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Attacked by
mob Of striking telegraph operator
John Laux, non-union operator IN
charge Of the Postal company's office in
waukegan, Wis, was forced to leave
his key yesterday and flee for his lie
The office was closed last night.
When the strike order WAS issued
Mr.. Laux refused to walk out. He was
visited Tuesday by a committee Of
strikers from Chicago and urged to join
in the fight against the companies, but
he refused. Yesterday a large crowd
OF strikers went to Waukegan and pro-
ceeded TO the Office. As 1t entered Mr..
Laux escaped through rear door and
hid under barn, where he remained
for several hours while the strikers
searched for him. Telegraph blanks
and others papers were torn up and
thrown around the Office and the strik-
ers completed the job by mailing big
sign across the door with the word
'scab" printed on it in large letters
The Western Union Office in Waupke-
gan is closed, the operator having quit
when the strike was ordered.
In spite Of the efforts of the telegraph
to discover the men who are
amperingsswith the telegraph wires,
mere trouble was experienced last night
han at any time since the strike began.
There is practically no trouble in send
ng messages East from Chicago, but
he service to the Pacific coast and to
he Southwest is uncertain.
IF the telegraph companies got COM
etent operators they would have less
rouble with their wires" said Secre-
ary Wesley Russell. "We know of
Oxen cases where incompetent oper-
tors have burned out the wires"
At the Offices Of both telegraph COM
anies the usual information was given |
nat all business was being handled |
romptly.
Dispatches from Arkansas City, Kan,
day stated that the Western Union
lice there was completely destroyed
fire. All the records, furniture and
struments were destroyed and the To-
i authorities say the fire was of in
ndiary origin.

lighting between the French forces and
the Moors yesterday near the French

1t was believed that the engagement

surrounded but formed square and
slowly fell lack until reinforced. In

the enemy. The engagement lasted
three hours. '

miles, and 1t is estimated that about
iz,ooo Moors were engaged. The loss
Oh the latter is not known, but IL is be-
lieved to have been heavy, as the
French officers counted the bodies At %

loss was 10 killed or wounded.

SMASHED IN RUINS.
Fifteen Passengers Killed In Trolley
Car Wreck In Illinois.

Nation, ILL.,, Sept. Fifteen per-
sons were killed and about 80 injured
in a head-oD collision between an inter-
urban express train consisting Of q
motor car train and traction car on
the Nation 4 Charleston electric line
this morning. The crash occurred on
sharp curve one mile west Of Charles
ton.
Confusion OF orders received over the
telephone Is said TO have been the cause
OF tho accident. The cars approached
each other at a high rate OF speed and
the impact was so terrific that the
motor car was telescoped by the trac-
tion car. There was no warning and
lew passengers had time to escape by
jumping.
The passengers, nearly all Of whom
were on the way to the fair at Charles
ton, we're crushed or manned where
they sat in the cars. Some who es-
capped and who were able to speak say
the scene at the wreck was gruesome.
The dead and dying were jammed to-
sether In mass, some shrieking with
pain and children crying for their
mothers, who were thought to be
among the dead.
