es. Many of the families evicted had
no place to go and friends were busy
endeavoring to arrange for some place
to house the unfortunates.
Owing to the dissatisfaction ex
pressed over the investigation in the
car plant on the peonage charges
Special Agent Hoagland has abandon
ed the idea of returning to the plant
today. 1t was pointed out that the
men were afraid to talk in the plant
and Hoagland has arranged for the
strikers committee to appear before
him in private with any witnesses
they may have. 1t is estimated that
the strike has now cost the strikers
company and county total of S6,OOO,-
600
The strike has been on forty-five
days.
The loss to the men has been great.
Five thousand men are engaged in the
strike. Their salaries average SO per
day and in thirty-nine full days and
six Sundays on half force, their loss
in salaries totals 100000.
The county has now expended $780,
$50 on the strike. Between 100 and
200 deputy sheriffs have been on duty
on an average pay of IS
per day, which has made the cost to
the county $3.50 per day.

Brioht'S Disease

That chronic Brignts Disease is
now being cured by treatment that re-
duces Inflammation in the kidneys is
beginning to be generally known.
We copy the following from the San
Francisco Bulletin, June, %, 1908:
THE recovery is reported of Mr.. Y.
Lawton of 264 Fifth Avenue. San Fran
cisco. The case is especially interest
ing, due to the fact that books declare
chronic Bright's disease incurable and
five city physicians had passed on and
diagnosed the case. TIE usual symp-
toms found in extreme cases were re-
ported-excessive dropsy, enlarged
heart and towards the last the patient
could only sleep sitting up and for
six weeks he slept in a chair. Law
ton had cousin, Mrs. w. T.. Hoover
of Auburn, who also had an advanced
case of Bright's Disease. She had
been tapped three times when she
heard of Fulton's Compound and
made fine recovery. This interest
ed Lawton in the treatment and it re-
suited in his recovery also. .
He is a Mason, member of Excelsior
Lodge and many members will recol-
lect his serious predicament and that
they thought they would be called on
to pass him over"
Parties desiring to know more Of
this treatment can get full literature
by addressing the John J. Fulton
Company, 212 First street, San Fran
cisco, Cal.

had in your city of our agent, b. A.

ment by the tneird week.

DEFRAuDs UNCLE SAM 1s YEARS
Man Aged 7s Sentenced for Drawing
Pension He Had No Riqht To,

Bloomington, ILL.,, July 29-After de-
frauding the government for eighteen
years thru the receipt of a pension to
which he was not entitled, Albert
Reece, aged IS, of Danvers, this coun-
ty, was sentenced to one year in the
federal penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan. The story of the old mans
swindle is a remarkable one. He prob
ably would have been able to draw his
monthly stipend up to the day of his
death but for his greed in trying to
have the original allowance increased.
He made no defense and displayed no
emotion when sentenced. 1t developed
that he was resident of Leesburg,
Ohio, at the outbreak of the civil war
and went to Columbus to enlist but
was rejected thru "a physical intinnity
and returned home. In 1891 he made
out pension application, but inserted
the name of William Fl. Reece who had
enlisted at the same time that the
Danvers man attempted to do so. Will
liam Reece, however, died some years
after the war, but this fact was not
known to the pension authorities.
Reece drew $4,000 from the govern
ment at the rate of IS a month.
When he tried to get larger pen
sion he was detected and sentenced.

Harry K. Thaw appeared in the SUI

of his examination by District Attorney
Jerome.
Before Thaw resumed the stand Cliff
ford w. Hartridge, Thaw's former
counsel, testified that the account books
showing money he had paid out in the
Thaw case and referred to by Mrs
Merrill, were destroyed, but that the
money came from Mrs. Thaw"
Susan Merrill, Thaw's former land
lady, told of instances in which she
said Thaw whipped young women
Thaw during his testimony asserted
that altho he was not medically insane
when he shot White and said he might
have had a brain storm, as described
by Dg. Britton ID. Evans, but if he did
it was not due to a sudden attack OF
jealousy.

lumber, reaching in height ITO the first
story of the buildings.
The arrival of reinforcements, so
urgently needed by the government
forces. is retarded by the destruction
of railroads and other avenues of COM

revolutionists. are armed with muskets,
knives and revolvers. They have an
effective organization and hospital
equipment. The government is seeking
to relieve the city by sea. now that
land communication for troops Is in
terrupted. All available ships are be-
ing hurried to Barcelona.

purpose behind the revolutionary up
