Coughing.

There's nothing so bad for a Cough
as Coughing" Coughing is like scratch
ing a wonnd; so long as it is done, it
will not heal. When tempted to Cough,
draw long breath through the nostrils;
hold it until it warns the air cells. The
nitrogen thus refined. allays the desire
to cough and gives the throat and lungs
a chance TO heal. The use OF Seventy

recuperate.

For the purpose of securing evil
dence against DR.. Arthur H. Jones, the
Whitewater physician, druggist, gro
ceryman, etc, on the charge Of oper-
ating a Blind Tiger Prosecutor
Wilfred Jessup this morning in the
city court examined several residents
of Whitewater and vicinity as to
whether they knew of ANY violations
of the criminal laws of the state" DR..
Jones was not present at the hearing
of these witnesses.
One witness had heard" that far
mer had sold cholera hogs and that
the male citizens of Whitewater were

ers but neither he nor his fellow wit
nesses had any knowledge of DR..
Jones selling liquor.
The first witness summoned was

and then but he could not recall a
time when he had purchased booze
from Dr. Jones. He admitted that sew
eral months ago he was intoxicated

that time in Richmond. Once. he
said, he tried to purchase some booze

| Pat Murphy was next summoned to

had not touched drop of liquor since

bought for his father, who was ill, and
it had been prescribed by DR.. Jones.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 17.-With five
dead, more than $50 injured, fifty of
them still in hospitals, a special grand
jury was called today by Judge
Creighton, who said: Il will indict
every man and boy who took part in
the killing of negroes and destruction
of property" This means a scarcity
of witnesses and still greater scar
city of men who actually participated
as dozens are leaving the city on ev-
cry train, claiming business calls them
out of the city. Fully twenty thous-
and persons have left the city since
the beginning of the riots, including
hundreds of negroes, who will never
return.
Governor Deneen said the situation
is we'll in hand today and only spora-
die rioting is expected to break out.
No liquor is being sold and all stores
are ordered to close at six o'clock to-
night Wherever three persons con-
gregate the militia will arrest. Sold
iers. mounted and on foot fairly
swarm all the dangerous districts.
Twice lfIt night lynch law broke
out afresh and these disturbances, to-
gether with an attempt on the part
of white rioters to cut the telephone
wires connecting the military head
quarters with the division camps,
marked another day in the reign of
terror for the capital of Illinois.
Nearly 5000 soldiers patroled the
streets.
Everywhere may be seen negroes,
old and firm. women and children,
scurrying from the city as from a
plague spot. Penniless and without
provisions they are leaving the scenes
of lynchings and bloody disorder for
where they know not.
The miners and foreigners from the
suburban towns are flocking to the
city and their threats to make a
''stand and see whether the niggers
are stronger than the whites are
heard everywhere.
The business district of Springfield
is In the throes of terror. No citizen
is permitted to enter the streets of
the down town district without mill
tary pass The law of bullet and bay
onet Is supreme
The time has passed when explana-
lions are received. Mobs cannot gath
er except by the most cunning ingen-
nifty.
Sprinfigeld, H., Aug. 17-Springfield
once again Is ruled by law and order.
Fffty-five hundred armed national
guardsmen patrol the streets and the
fever for blood has abated, temporari-
ly at least. among the wild element
which ruled the state capital for for
fy-eight hours.
II is not to be understood that the
trouble is over. The display of
strength made by five regiments of the
states organized militia simply over
awed the population which has been
responsible for all of the disturbance
There has been comparatively little
disturbance since the Second Infantry
: from Chicago swept through the
sweets in mid afternoon.

Democratic Nominee Blunt
Iy, If He Lends Favor to
Labor Boycott.
PLATFORM PLANKS ARE
PRONOUNCED DANGEROUS
Bryan Is Charged With FaIsity
PLAIN, Direct Answer to
The Questions Propounded
Would Please Country.

ST. Louis, Mo-. Aug. 17-In an ans
wer to a recent reply by W. J. Bryan
to an article written by him. James w.
Van Cleave, president of the Nation
al Association of Manufacture says
the injunction, tariff and banking
planks of the Denver platform assail
the interests Of every man in the coun-
try, who is engaged in any sort of
trade.
'The falsity of the insinuation in
the Denver platform that labor unions
are outlawed." Mr.. Van Cleave says,
'is shown by the fact that their mem.
bers continue in their regular employ
ments on every working day in the
year in every town in the United
States. Every member of the Lincoln
Typographical union, at whose BAN
quet he was a guest on the evening
before his formal notification Of nom-
ination. could have told Mr.. Bryan
that there is not vestige of truth in
the pretense that any act of congress
or any ruling of any federal court ever
forbade any labor union to organize
to ask such wages from employers as
the union saw fit to ask, or to make
any terms to employers which would
be agre cable to both parties"
He then asks: Does not Mr.. Bryan
as lawyer and a public man. know
that his platform charge is false?'
He tells Mr.. Bryan that the National
Association Of Manufacturers like the
courts, has always recognized the
rights of the unions to get any terms
from employers which. in amicable
agreement, could be gained. but that
the association always opposed the in.
timidation and violence which, he saws
have sometimes been practiced by
some of the unions
How About the Boycott?
Does he personally favor the legal
ization of the boycott?" Mr.. Van
Cleave asks, and he adds that the
country is interested in getting a
plain, direct answer from Mr.. Bryan
oII tiIS punt, anu III SSlIlHS 1t just as
quickly as he can give it"
Speaking of the guarantee fund
which the Denver platform urges for
the payment of depositors of insolv-
ent national or state banks. Mr.. Van
Cleave asks: Does not Mr.. Bryan
know that this vicious provision would
penalize the honest and careful bank
er for the benefit of the banker who is
dishonest and reckless? Can he not
see that this scheme would remove all
the safeguards which our present
laws have raised up against such
plungers and grafters as have worked
their way into the control of many of
our banks, that it would Immediately
and immensely increase the number
of such bankers, and that 1t would pre-
cipitate an era of extravaganza, wild
speculation and corruption which
would wreck our whole financial sys-

wildcat banking scheme of 1908 would

Mrs. John Strattan liked from
Liberty, But John Was
Not Here.
TALE OF DOMESTIC WOE.
HUSBAND MAY BE DEMENTED-
WIFE is WITHOUT HOME, FOOD
OR MONEY AND ALMOST
FRANTIC.

Footsore and nearly famished, Mrs.
John Strattan, who lives near Liberty,
walked into the city this morning and
went at once to police headquarters to
request assistance in searching for her
husband, who disappeared from home
last Tuesday. 'Since he left l haven't
eaten hardly a bite nor slept a wink"
she informed Chief Bailey. The un-
fortunate woman also stated that she
had walked nearly the entire distance
from Liberty to Richmond and that she
intended to walk home.
Mrs Strattan stated that her hus-
band was formerly employed in this
city at the Starr Piano factory but
farm near Liberty where her hus-
band was employed as assistant to the
man who owned the farm.
For several days prior to his disap-
pearance, Mrs. Strattan stated, her
husband had been very irritable and
had constantly complained of the
headache, and she is of the opinion
that his mind has been affected by
the intensely hot weather. Last
Tuesday, she stated, he went to his
employer and said to him. What
would you do if your woman took an
axe and broke up the sewing ma
chine?" He then stated that his wife
had done this and he wanted TO bor-
row a horse and rig to take the ma
chine to Liberty to have it repaired.
This request was granted.
Returning to his home Strattan in
formed his wife that he was going to
take some potatoes to town and sell
them. He told her to assist him in
digging them. She did so and then
drove to Liberty with him. In Liberty
Strattan disappeared and his wife
waited for him over an hour before he
put in an appearance. He told her
| that he had been TO see friend. They
| then drove back to the farm Arriv-
| ing there he kissed her, said goodbye,
and then went to the stable. An hour
| later she went to the stable to see
where her husband was, but he had
disappeared.
| Mrs Strattan states that her hus-
| band trumped up the story about the
sewing machine as an excuse to OBJ
| tain the horse and rig and that the
potatoes he sold in Liberty were stol-
en- from his employer. She thinks

after arriving in Liberty was occas-

SPIRITUAL FAKERS

Police Prepare Campaign on
Clairv0yants Who Rob
Dupes

Transient clairvoyants who fit from
city to city. operating under the intel
ligent direction of blue book" which
catalogues for them the susceptible in
each community, are to receive short
shrift from the San Francisco police.
Chief of Police Biggy has received so
who have fallen victims to the arts of
the dishonest spiritualists that he has
decided to drive them from the city.
AS a preliminary the clerk of the
board of police commissioners has been
instructed to write to Los Angeles for
a copy of the ordinance of the southern
city which applies to clairvoyants. The
terms of that law are severe and by
means of it the police there have been
able with fair success to keep them out
of mischief
While there are permanent mediums
in the city whose work is not above
suspicion the chief trouble is caused by
the travelling spiritualists who appear
and disappear in community with all
the facility of their "materialized''
spirits. These peripatetic members OF
the cult work together on an extensive
plan. A catalogue or blue book
containing the names of persons who
are interested in spiritualism and kin
dred phenomena is circulated among
this group, and from it they locate vic
tins and plan their campaigns of graft
