Suspicious Characters Arrested
at Hume.

Friday a brakeman on the Kan
sas City Southern railway dis
covered that one of the box cars
on his train was occupied by five
persons, who he ordered to get
out. They refused and he called
an officer who arrested them.
They were taken before a justice
of the peace and fined S. and
costs each when they plead guilty
to trespassing on the property of
the railroad. Not having any
money to pay the fine, Constable
Taylor and Deputy Sheriff Otis
Baker brought them to Butler
and placed them in the county
Jail to lay out the fine. One Of
them was found to be a woman
dressed in mems clothes. She and
one of the men look as though
they might be part Indian. They
are tough looking bunch and
gave their names as Mae Ruth
Mondhoss, Roy Wilson, Frank
Dunn Frank Davis and Frank
Smith. 1t probably never oc-
cured to "Wilson' or he would
have claimed that his name was
Frank too.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Butler
Experiences.

Kidney disease is too danger
GUS to neglect. At the first sign
of backache, headache, dizziness
or urinary disorders, you should
give the weakened kidneys
prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take things easier and use
a reliable kidney tonic. There's
no other kidney medicine so well
recommended as Doan's Kidney
Pills. Butler people rely on
them. Here's one of the many
statements from Butler people.
Mrs. A. E. Debow, 4O6 w. Pine
St., Butler, says: 81 have not
needed Doan's Kidney Pills for
some time because of the fine re-
lief they gave me from backache,
irregular kidney action, and 9TH
er kidney disorders. I can always
recommend them as a reliable
medicine
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don t
simply ask for q kidney remedy
get .Doan's Kidney Pills-the
same that Mrs. Debow had. Fos-

PEACE OR WAR FOR Us
The United States Can No Longer
Accept Apologies, Senator
Lewis Says.

Washington, Jan. So agree
with Secretary Lansing or any
body else who says that the war
cannot continue without Ameri-
ca being involved in it," Senator
Lewis said in the Senate this af-
tcrnoon, while urging immediate
passage of the Hitchcock note in
dorsement resolution.
Lewis thrust the war idea upon
the Senate with startling sud-
dcnness. America, he held. can
not proceed further in accepting
"apologies'' for injuries done by
ship commanders - presumably
referring to German submarine
commanders.
81 do not think 1--WE will ever
again allow captains Of ships, Of
ficers of armies or officers Of d.
plomacy to deliver upon this
country an injury and escape
with the excuse that orders were
misunderstood or that the Off
GERS acted in the excess of zeal, y
he said.
"The United States is the agent
of morality in this step and the
President is to be admired by the
world for it.
"This country cannot accept
apology hereafter and will punish
to the extent of her power any
such injury
Senator Lewis is one of the
Democratic leaders closest to the
White House.
In pleading for the adoption of
the Hitchcock resolution, he said
"This resolution may offend
against precedent he held, "but
regardless of this, the Senate
ought to uphold the President s
hands. y
lie declared. too, that there
was no attempt in the President s
note to favor Germany or play
the peace game. He added:
THE opposition to this reSo-
luton will be construed abroad as
an expression of such partially
toward one side that the senators
will be willing to see one side
beat down and the other raised
up to cxultant victory
1.-THE very debate in opposition
to this resolution" Senator
Lewis said has done more to in
jure the cause of peace to which
President Wilson has sought to
give impulse and force than any
other form of opposition that has
arisen from any other source in
all the United States

$4,000, 000, 900 Gold Mined in q
Years.

New York, Jan. eight biz
lion dollars in gold has been
mined in the last Is years, against
an equal amount in the 400 years
preceding, the National City
bank stated today.
The gold money of the world
has doubled in the last 20 years,
while silver money has decreased
one-half in the same period. The
bank, it was said, was impelled
to issue the statement because of
the exceptionally high price of
silver, of which the United States
was now the worlds largest pro-
Queer, and the large inflow of
gold, of which this country had
imported more than $500, 0OO, 900
since the beginning Of the year.

II Children Killed When Tornado
Destroys School House.

Muskogee, Ok, Jan. 4.-Eleven
school children were killed, four
probably fatally hurt and eight
seriously injured when a tor
nado wrecked the Vireton rural
school house, 13 miles northwest
of McAlester, shortly before
noon today.
There were so children in the
one-room frame building when
the tornado splintered it.
1t is not known whether the
number of casualties will be
larger when the debris is cleared
away.
Virtually every family in the
vicinity of the school house was
plunged into mourning through
the death or injury OF one or
more children, it was said.

U. s. SEEKING TO INBOUND
GOLD IN H. G. OF L.
FIGHT
Circulation of So Much Money
Causing Great Igflation Of
Prices.

Washington Jan. Ga body
Nblow at the high cost of living
will be struck if congress adopts
the recommendations of the fed
cral reserve board and enacts leg
islation giving the board power
to concentrate as much of the
gold supply of the country AS it
.eaiis get AalA Of ia federal reserve
banks.
That is the opinion of some
members of the board and of
economists. The purpose Of the
board in seeking the new legisla-
ton is not primarily to lower the
cost of living, but that effect
would result, it is stated.
1t is generally admitted that
the, heavy influx of gold during
the war period is responsible to
large degree for high prices in
this country. The gold is scat
tered in the hanks of the country
and in the pockets of the people.
Should the board be empowered
to concentrate gold in federal re-
serve banks, large quantities of
the yellow metal would be i'm
pounded SO that the supply in
banks and in circulation would
| raDidlv diminish.
That would mean, it is declared
that currency and credit infla-
ton which is contributing to the
high cost Of living, would recede,
bringing commodity prices near
er normal.
Congress is expected, to act up
on the amendments at the present
session.
