HEADS TIMES BOMB PROBE.
Charles Weir Lived in Kansas for
Many Years.

Fort Scott, Kan, Nov. 1.-Charles
Weir, for many years resident of
Bronson and well known in Fort Scott,
is foreman of the grand jury at Los
Angeles that is investigating the ex-
plGsion of the Times building on the
first of last month, which resulted in
the death of many of the employees.
Mr. Weir left Bronson many years ago,
going to California at that time, but
has visited here on numerous occasions
since. In last May he was in this city
for a few days with his wife, while on
his way to Europe to spend the sum-
mer months. He returned from there
only a few weeks ago and soon after
arriving home was placed in charge of
the grand jury making the explosion
investigation.
The grand jury probably will be in
session for several weeks as the work
of investigating the explosion is prov
ing slow and tedious and many wit
nesSes remain to be examined.
Report became current in Los An
geles a few days ago that five of the
members of the grand jury, including
Foreman Weir, had received letters
threatening them with death if the in
vestigation continued. Mr.. Weir call
ed the reporters to account for the
publication of such a story. He was
told by the reporters that one of the
chief detectives on the case had given
out the story. ct don't care; it's a
lie,'' Weir responded. Nobody has
been threatened"

Thin blood is the most frequent cause
of debility. AS the supply of blood sent
to the brain does not carry sufficient
nourishment the patient is dull and
drowsy, the nerves become starved and
there are marked nervous symptoms. As
the blood and nerves control digestion
the stomach suffers from lack of tone and
the victim loses weight and strength.
Whenever tonic is needed, DIR. VIII
liams' Pink Pills should be given an i'm
mediate trial. They quickly enrich the
blood and give strength and health to
every part OF the body. For this reason
they have cured an@mia, chlorosis, rheu-
matism, lumbago, general debility and
the after-effects of the grip and fevers.

druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on

Annual Conference Being Held at Vii

Butler, Kan, Nov. 1.-The Memo
mites of Kansas, Oklahoma and Cali
tie town Al miles northwest of Wichita
on the Frisco railway.
It is the annual conference of the
Southern district of the Mennonite
church
The Mennonites are a good deal like
the Quakers with their annual church
meetings The entire membership of
the organization has a voice in the
proceedings at the yearly meeting or
conference. Hundreds of men, women
and children attend the meetings.
The stronghold of the Mennonites in
Kansas is in Marion and Harvey
counties. The first Mennonite emf
grants to America settled in that part
of Kansas. Under their care the lands
of that section have become the rich
est and most prolific in the state.
For years all the Mennonites in Am
erica held one large conference annu-
ally This entailed the travelling of
long distances for many of the sect
have settled in California, Colorado,
Minnesota and various parts of Cana
da A year ago, however, the Men
nonites divided their conference into
the Northern. Middle and Southern
conferences of America. The Canadian
settlements comprise the Northern
conference: the northern tier of the
United States comprise the middle dis
trict. and the states of Kansas, Ok
lahoma and California form the South
ern conference
Meetings are held in these districts
every year Every third year there is
a large national conference OF all
the Mennonites in America The next
general meeting of this sort will be
held in 1912 at Hillsboro. Kan.

No Adjustment
For Machinists
Negotiations With B. 80. Man

Again
WILLARD STILL
MOST ARBITRARY
Machinists Return to Fight
With Renewed Activity.
All Along.

Negotiations for the settlement Of
the Machinists strike on the B. & o.
are all off again. The company man
agement, is still arbitrary and refuses
to consider anything but complete sur
render on the part of the machinists,
and the machinists, instead Of being
willing to accept that, are stronger
than ever and insist upon their de-
mands being recognized. There have
been practically no assertions, and the
men are fighting as determipedly as
ever. $50
The fact that the company manage
ment has conferred at all with the Ma
chinists is something in the way of a
partial victory for the men, nor at the
first the company refused to treat with
them in any way. The company, feel
ing secure in the fact that every Other
one of the railroad. organizations was
working under agreements, and will
ing to renew them to the injury of the
Machinists, felt that this would enable
them to be independent Of the Ma
chinists, but the latter, battling alone
against the Company and all the other
railroad organizations have put. up
such gallant fight, that the railroad
management, with the shops full Of
disabled locomotives, and the tracks
full Of running locomotives that can't
rum, has weakened to the extent of
holding several conferences. Unfor-
tunately, however, these conferences
haye so far been without result. But
the men are hopeful.
