TAKE UP CLAIMS
IN HERRIN RIOT
Williamson County Supervisor
Consider Bills Asking More
Than $275,O00.

Marion, ILL.,, Sept. 20.-(By the
Associated Press)-The William
son county board Of supervisors
was expected to take up considera-
ton of bills asking approximately
$275,000 for alleged damages COM
mitted in connection with the riots
at the strip mine of the Southern
Illinois Coal company, near here,
last June, in which more than a
score of persons were killed.
Consideration of the damage bills
was expected to be held simultan-
eously with the continuation of the
investigation into the disturbances
by the special grand jury which has
been conducting an inquiry for sew
eral weeks.
p The board Of supervisors is ex-
pected to refuse the claims, and the
next step for those seeking dam
ages, according to attorneys, will
be to file suit in the county court
for the amounts. The damage bills
include $4,000, asked by the
Southern Illinois Coal company for
damage done to its mining proper
ty during the rioting, $4,000 asked
by the Hamilton-Lester mine, an
adjoining shaft, for property dam
age and $4,000 asked by non-union
workers who escaped. for loss OF
personal effects.
The bills do not include claims
for the deaths of the nineteen non
union workers who were killed
These claims, it was explained. are
to be filed directly in the county
court.
investigation Of the failure to ap-
prehenh eleven of the fifty-eight
men indicted in connection with the
mine Killings was brought to the
attention Of the grand jury by the
prosecutors. One OF the indicted
men still at large, John Kelley. Of
Zeigler, was reported to have beer
seen on the streets OF Zeigler
boasting Of his freedom. 1t was
said that no attempts have beer
made to arrest him.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR TANLAC DUE
TO MERIT ALONE
It's What the People Say
About 1t That Causes
Orders for Nearly a Mil
lion Bottles in One
Month - Big Chicago
Druggist Elated.

The greatest test any medicine
can undergo is the repeat" sales
it enjoys. Tanlac's phenomenal
record has been possible because
of the fact that men and women
who buy one bottle invariably re-
turn for the second and recommend
it to others because it has helped
them.
To say that Tanlac now has the
largest sale Of any medicine of its
kind does not begin to tell the
story. No other preparation has
ever approached the marvellous sue
cess of Tanlac, and in the eight
years it has been on the market 3d.
600, 900 bottles have been sold. Be-
tween June Is and July Is of this
year orders were received for near
ly one million bottles, and it is evil
dent that dealers are still enthusi-
astic over the ever-increasing de-
mand, by the tone of letters with
orders.
The Fuller Morrison Company,
wholesale importers and manufac-
turers, of Chicago, write: "Tanlac
has been the means Of our securing
many new customers, and this
makes it very profitable account.
We sold 249,12O bottles in twelve
months"
w. A. Hoover & Co., large whole
sale druggists of Denver, Colo.
writing under date of July II,
state: We are submitting today
our order for the fourth carload Of
your goods since April l. Taking
into consideration local conditions
this demand is not only exception
al, but alone in the record of sales
for proprietary articles in this sec
tion.'' 3D.
The tremendous popularity of
Tanlac is the unquestioned and
outstanding proof Of its merit. No
medicine of less superlative quail
ity and effectiveness could possibly
attain such q huge sales record
nor gain, as Tanlac has, the un-
qualified endorsements of thou
sands Of well-known men and
women in all parts Of the contin-
emit who stand for the best in their
communities.
Like all great successes Tanlac
has its imitators, and although
there are over a hundred prepare
tons on the market claiming SIM
liar therapeutical value, many
copying the original Tanlac adver-
Using, the popularity of this prep
aration continues to grow. and II
is unquestionably the most talked
Of medicine in the world today.
Tanlac is sold by all good drug
giets.-(Advertisement)
