DAUGHTER DIES;
TO SUE TOWN
Parent Of Typhoid Victim TO
Ask $4,000 Damages.

DR.. John A. Beck, who is the city
physician and also president of the
board of education in Gloucester City,
N. J., has announced that he intends
to bring suit against the city for $780,
900 for the death of his twelve-year-
old daughter, Caroline, whose death,
the doctor said, resulted from the con-
dition of the city water at the time.
DR.. Beck contends that the girl was
stricken with typhoid fever contract
ed from the water which is taken from
Newtown creek. Although DR.. Beck
claims the city is responsible, there
are many of the city officials who
differ with him, not only as to the re-
sponsibility of the city, but as to the
pollution Of the stream, which they
say has been used for the past quarter
Of a century, more or less, as the
source for the city water supply.

Rushing Foreign Troops to Scene.

Rushinq Foreign troops to scene.
After a four days reign of terror in
China, marked by indiscriminate muir
der, looting, arson and general de-
struction of property under the Man
chu soldiers, a calm developed, ac-
cording to dispatches received in
Washington.
Minisoer Calhoun, of Pekin, was in
structed to keep the closest possible
watch on the situation, to give every
protection possible to Americans in
the danger zone, which has been
spreading in the last few days, and to
call directly upon General Bell, at Ma
nila, and upon Admiral Murdock, at
Shanghai, for any number of rein
forcements that an emergency may
seem to require.
Admiral Murdock commanding the
American Asiatic squadron at Shang
hal, notified the navy department that
he is dispatching 200 additional ma
rines from his warships on the collier
Abarenda for Tientsin. The cruiser
Cincinnati will accompany the col
lier.
At the present time there are ap-
proXimately 600 foreign soldiers in
the trouble zone, including the regular
legation guards.
Minister Calhoun, in one of his dis
patches, recites that although the riots
started at Pekin last Thursday, no at
tempt was made until Sunday 10 sup
press them.
Mr.. Calhoun states that a number of
bullets and one shell fell in the Ameri-
can legation compound, though the
shell did not explode. While this was
not an apparent intentional attack on
the American property, the minister
has demanded an apology of the Pekin
authorities.
On the whole conditions are most
pitiable, Mr.. Calhoun states. Many
coolies and boys, who had picked up
articles discarded by the soldiers, have
been summarily executed, while the
soldiers themselves so far have es-
capped Sunday night, however, the au-
thorities manhged to cOnfine the sol
diers to their barracks, while the pO-
lice preserved order, such as it was.
Last Friday the mutineers seized
three trains and went to Tao-Ping-Fu,
where there was an uprising, and at
Feng-Tai and Tientsin, where there
was much burning, plundering and
killing.
Mr.. Calhoun states that the situation
at Titntsin is very grave, the losses
by fire being enormous and over one
million taels have been taken from
the government mint. The Chinese au-
thorities have appealed to the foreign
consuls to assume control of the city
with the foreign military forces, and
this will be done if found necessary
upon a further consultation Of the for
eign ministers.
The mutineers attempted to hold up
a train carrying American troops from
Tientsin to Peki1, but were fought off
by the American and British railway
guards. A machine gun on a fiat car
in front of the engine proved effective. !

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being cured bY Vinol

k1IC DCAllE OuACQ Wy NAAAOA
New Haven, Conn.--''I was troubled
with a most persistent chronic cough
for a long time and had tried so many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that 1 was discouraged. l was
persuaded by my friends to try vi
mol. After taking the second bottle,
my cough left me, and must say
never felt better in my life. can al
so recommend Vinol to any one in a
rundown condition as the best possi-
BILE remedy"
It is the combined action of the
medicinal elements of the Gods liv-
ers, aided by the blood-making and
strength-creating properties of tonic
iron which makes Vinol so efficient in
curing chronic coughs, colds and
bronchitis-at the same time building
up the weakened, rundown system.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you.
