NEGRO THREW A BRICK.
And Started Race War at Delaware
Militia Encampment.

Rehoboth. Del, July 31.-State
militiamen encamping near here and
a crowd of negroes Of the vicinity en-
gagged in a riot fight in which one man
sustained a fractured skull and may
not survive, and more than a score OF
others were injured. Trouble began
when a number of members of Co.
H First Delaware regiment of New
Castle were standing around a merry
go-round. There were some words
between colored byStanders and the
soldiers and one of the colored men
hurled a brick, which struck private
on the head fracturing his skull.
Instantly, the soldiers. taking their
arms began pursuing every colored
man they could find. The colored
people sought refuge under porches,
on top of roofs and even in trees,
while the enraged soldiers sought
high and low for them, intent on
vengeance for their injured comrade.
Governor Lea who is in camp upon
learning of the disturbance took &C
tive means to quell it. He sent a de-
tachment of SO soldiers to arrest the
man who threw the brick and then
dispatched officers to pacify the en-
ragged soldiers. Finally quiet was re-
stored but not until a score of persons
had been injured.
The man who threw the brick has
not vet been captured. Some of the
soldiers may be arrested.

THOSE CHINESE YET IN JAIL.
Men Found i'm Car of Ore at Herring
ton to Be Taken to Denver.

Abilene, Kan, July 31.-Louis Adams,
O. government Chinese inspector, who
came from Denver to Kansas a few
days ago to get the six Cinnamon who
were found in a car of ore at Herring
ton recently, now in Jail here, has re-
turned to the Colorado metropolis
empty handed. But Mr.. Adams will be
back in a couple of weeks and next
time he will take the Cinnamon back
with him.
The Chinese are charged with SNUG
Cling themselves across the Mexican
border into the United States. They
were discovered in the sealed ore car
at Herington by Rock Island brake
man. Complaints against all six men
have been prepared by the United
States district attorneys office at To-
peka and they would have been issued
and the men taken in charge by the
government at this time but for the
reason that they are now locked up in
the county Jail serving 80 day sem
fences for violating the state law
which prohibits the stealing of rides
on railway trains. The Dickinson coun-
ty officials expressed a desire to keep
them until their time is up which Will
be between two and three weeks, and
Inspector Adams assented to this. He
brought Chinese interpreter from
Denver and rigidly examined the six
men. The transcript of typewriter
result of the investigation shows the
Chinese race to be a race of born ro-
mancers. many of the replies to en-
barrassing questions being ingenious to
say the least. Each Chinaman claimed
that he had originally come into the
United States in the regular way and
that his papers had been lost.

THE JOKE WAS FATAL.
Wires to the Bath Tub of Lieutenant
Oswald Were of Too High Voltage.

Fort Scott. July 31.-A brief message
from Manila. Philippine Islands, was
received here yesterday stating that
Lieutenant oswald of the regular army,
had accidentally met his death as the
result of a joke played upon him by
some of his associates. 1t seems that
as Lieutenant Oswalt was preparing
for a bath at the quarters, some OF
the soldiers, not thinking of the high
voltage carried by the wires installed
in the building. attached them to the
bath tub, thinking that it would re-
suit in nothing more than a slight
shock to the lieutenant. However,
when he plunged into the water, he
was knocked unconscious and died inn
mediately.
Lieutenant oswald was known here
as the husband of Miss Flora Rice
whose parents were Mr.. and Mrs. w.
NJ Rice, and who now reside in Sc
attic. Wash, but were formerly citi-
zens of this city.

Constipation or stomach Trouble Starts
Most Sickness.
Infants. children and old folks are
usually the ones most in need of
gentle laxative and today thousands of
families keep DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin in the house all the time.
1t is so effective it will in a very
short time restore regular action to the
bowels in old chronic cases of consti-
patton. Its relief is immediate and
sure yet easy and without pain or
grippe. 1t is safe and pleasant for the
young children, the baby or delicate
mothers. Mrs. Matte Crouch, Upton
vile, Tenn, says: 1T is good medi-
cine for children cutting teeth" Mrs
J. Morgan. Neosha Falls, Kan. was
cured for Is years of indigestion with
it.
S. Spalding. Mayfield. KY. says: 1T
has been great help to our baby. My
wife and I also use it, Mrs Albert
Curry says: It's the best medicine for
abies I ever knew Of" Senator Black
burn, of Rogers, Ark, says: MY wife
and 1 swear by it." Rev. r. A. Kemp,
Rising Sun, Ind, says doctors never
did him much good, but DR.. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin cured him.
It's good for the old folks: it's good
for papa and mama; it's good for baby.
All druggists sell it at SOC and $1.00 per
bottle. Pepsin Syrup Co., 329 Caldwell
Bldg, Monticello, ILL.,, is glad to send

have done, sell his tickets on week
days and let the customers deposit
them in boxes. The players, he says.

says in this way there would be no

He is in the frame of mind to test
the law anyhow. and feels that the
sooner it is done the better he will

The city officials think he will get

TOO HIGH SAYS SMITH.
Asks to Have Assessment Kansas
City Belt Line Reduced.

Claiming that the Kansas City Belt
railway is not worth 81, 109, 100, which
was the value put upon it by the state
tax commission, w. r. Smith, general
attorney for the Santa Fe came before
the state tax commission Thursday at

sas City belt case.
The tax commission fixed Monday
morning, August 3, as the date for the
hearing. On that date Mr.. Smith will
come before the commission, and tell
why the assessment should be reduced.
The Kansas City Belt railway was
given by far the highest valuation per
mile of any railway in the state. 1t
was assessed $460000 a mile on its two
and one-third miles of track The Belt
line Is very valuable piece of pro-
perty, as it connects the various rail-
ways having terminals in Kansas City.
and affords transfer facilities 1t is a
valuable and profitable piece of pro-
perty. On the basis Of its great value
as producing property, the tax COM
mission placed a high valuation upon
it.
Judge Smith, in asking the tax COM
mission for an opportunity to object to
the valuation as fixed by the commits
sion, did not indicate that the Santa
Fe has any inclination to follow the
lead of the Rock Island and protest
on the valuation Of the rest Of its pro-
perty in Kansas. The Kansas City
Belt is owned by the Santa Fe.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Drug, P0slam, Now Obtainable

New Drug, PO9lan, Now Obtatnablo
in Small Quantities.
Since its discovery one year ago the
new drug, poslam. has successfully
cured thousands of chronic cases of
eczema and other distressing skin at
fitctions. Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit OF &C.
zema patients in large jars sufficient
for a months treatment. This was
found to be an Inconvenience to many
thousands who use 1t for minor skin
troubles, such as pimples. blackheads.
herpes, acne. scaly scalp. complexion
blemishes, itching feet, piles, ETC..
which require but small quantity to
cure. To overcome this, and in re-
Spouse to urgent appeals, the dispen-
sers of poslam have been obliged to
adopt in addition to the regular two
dollar package. a special fifty-cent
size. which in future may be found on
sale at Fred A. Shows and other
leading drug stores. in Topeka, or may
be ordered direct from the Emergency
Laboratories. No. 80 West 25th Street,
New York City. In all eczema cases
poslam stops itching with first appli-
cation. and proceeds to heal imme-
diately: chronic cases being cured in
two weeks. In less serious skin trou-
bles, results are seen after an over
night application.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had, free of charge, by
writing to the laboratories for them.
