FIVE MINERS SHOT
IN BATTLE WITH
STATE TROOPERS
First BlO0dshed in West Virgin
ia Uprising
MANY SHOTS EXCHANGED
Troopers Made Six Arrests and
Got away without Any
Casualties

Charleston, W. Va, Aug. 2g--The
first bloodshed growing ont of the at.
tempted march of miners into the
Mingo mine field as a protest against
martial law occurred Saturday night
on road running between Blair and
Sharples in Logan county, when min
ers guarding the road opened fire on a
detachment of State troopers who
were returning to their headquarters
at Madison.
A battle that lasted nearly half an
hour followed, in which the troopers,
although finally routed. killed five
miners. captured six others and got
away without suffering casualties
themselves.
Capt. j. X. Brockus was in charge Of
twelve troopers who were moving
along the road between Blair and
Sharples. 1t was II p, m. when they
reached Beech Creek in the outskirts
of Sharples. Here they encountered
the miners, whose numbers could not
he estimated becouse of the darkness.
but who APPARENTLY outnumbered the
troopers by fOhr 10 one.
AS soon as the troopers were sight
ed the miners began spreadT% an
alarm by ringing COW bells and toot-
ing horns. This was followed by a
volley Of shots from the surrounding
mountains, which fell into the road
way, but did not hit any of the troop
ers.
The troopers, lying on their
stomachs, succeeded in picking off
five of the attackers. The six who
we're captured were disarmed in stiff
hand to hand conflicts with the troop
ers and forced into the brush on one
side of the road until suosi time as
they conld be taken TO Madison.
Capt. Brockus and his men went in
to Logan county at the first word of
trouble. They woree on their way
back to their headquarters in! Madi-
son, which rs about thirteen miles
due north of where the ATTACK occur
red. when they came upon the miners.

Cooperative PLAN
TO DISPOSE OF MILK
Farmers In Vicinity OF Manchester
Expect 10 Organize During
Coming Week.

The county agent is going to spend
most OF the week In organizing the
cooperative creamery to be located
at Manchester. The large percentage
OF surplus together with the low price
for milk for the last three months has
made II imperative for the farmers of
the county to do something toward
handling their own product. Many
OF the farmers think that co-opera-
tive creamery located at Manchester
could take care OF the milk OF the
county. II wouli be necessary to sign
up at least 1000 COWS in order to
start the creamery. This could be
done within radius of 20 miles from
Manchester.
There will be meetings this week in
regard to the creamery. Tuesday at
Manchester Opera house at 1870 D. m.
and Wednesday at Arlington town
hall at 1880 p. m. V. H. Jones. state
manufacturing specialist, will be the
principle speaker.
Wednesday the Bennington MIX
Producers association will run milk
booth In connection with the Red
Cross Carnival. Local mix dealers
will supply milk to be sold at cost
at the carnival.
Last week, Mr.. liggett poultry
specialist, held IA demonstrations az
tended by 120 people owning 27G2
birds. An interesting day was spent
in Sandgate among the Finlanders
there. Eleven farms were visited
and all poultry questions discussed as
far as time would permit.
Miss Marion Hardy. county club
agent. will be at Bondville Monday;
at South Shaftsbury eNTblt, Tuesday;
Pownal exhibit Wednesday and Thurs

GETS CONDITIONAL PARDON
Mother Of Four Children Allowed to
Go Home TO Care for Them.

Rutland, Aug. 27.--Miss Lena Ross,
superintendent OF Riverside Reforma-
tory for Women, received the past
week a conditional pardon from Cover
nor James Hartness for one of the in.
mates OF the house of correction.
This inmate Is the mother of four
children and was committed to the
house of correct on to serve four
months besides a fine. Her husband
and she had been convicted for selling
intoxicating liqour illega ly. The hus'
band was let out on bail, but ran
away, forheting his BAIL and the wife
was sent here to serve her sentence.
This meant the breaking up of the
home and the placing Of their four
children in the care OF the overseer OF
the poor.
The state law states that no chill
dren can be kept at the poor house for
over 60 days and then only in case OF
an emergency.
Steps were taken to have the chill.
dren committed to the state board OF
charities and probation but in the
meantime G. number OF people became
interested In the woman, stating that
as far as they could find out she was
model mother and seemed very
much devoted to her children and
while the children were having excel
lent care they were, nevertheless, de
prived of their mother and home.
A pathetic incident in the case was
when recently one of her boys brought
up 75 cents to his mother to help pay
her fine.
Governor Hartness sent the condi
tional pardon the past week and she
was accompanied to her home Thurs
day by Mrs. Fred N Whitney, deputy
probation officer for women and girls
from Northneld.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica.
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, If you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

BATTLEsHIPs

= VERY little while we read Of the
IL junking Of obsolete battleships.
When the old veterans, scared
and worn from strenuous service, are
thus brought to disgrace, there are
among the sailors who knew thew
traces of sorrow.
These sinewed boys in blue, loyal
till death, think back to days that are
gone and fancy the ships In the smoke
Of battle.
With what speed and might they
cleft the foaming sea
The attachments that grew and en-
twined themselves In the sailors warm
hearts are very dear.
There Is common note of sadness
among them, especially among those
who stood by the guns In the heat of
conflict, which, through bravery of men
and staunchness of ship terminated In
triumph.
But now all this is changed. New
emotions crowd the mind.
The sailors realize that they, too, are
getting closer to the time when some
Of them may be "junked" to make
room for the stronger and more eff
cient.
They wonder whether it was always
so; whether the weak gave way to the

WOMEN IN COMMERCE.

WoMEN are an important factor factor,
w In commerce in America. There
are many cities where women
are members with men on the boards
Of the local chambers of commerce.
Then there Is the Woman's Chamber
Of Commerce at New York, ard the
Woman's Association of Commerce at
Chicago, both national organizations.
At the International Trade Confer
ence women were represented. Each
of the national women's organizations
sent delegates and urged that foreign
men delegates should affiliate women
with their trade organizations. Many
women are in trade both here and in
Europe.
In England the University OF Lon
don has just inaugurated course in
commerce, to which women will be ad-
mitted under the same conditions as
men. They will specialize on such
subjects as banking, foreign trade, fac
tory management, shipping and trans
port, etc. England believes that her
women are perfectly able to enter the
higher branches of trade, and she
means to give them full opportunity.
In America women are in practically
every branch of trade, and they have
the full sympathy and assistance of
their men in this work. They have
learned In the school Of experience
But there Is room for such course
as the University of London has in
augurated. Many young woman

taut business might gladly take such
