Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton Street, East Savannah, Ga., writes: " Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I Is a true friend to woman. It has been of I 5 great benefit to me, curing me of irregular ! I and painful periods when everything else had | failea, and I gladly recommend it to other j I suffering women."

I A Cavefull ot Dead Indians. t- .leff -Adams, a well-known cattle [ man, rode into Phoenix with a talc ! most gruesome. In the Superstition j Mountains he bad found a cavern | 35 by 100 feet in area, beaped up with J the skeleton of about 200 dead Indians Tbe cavern is up in tbe side of a precipitous gorge, reached only by a dangerous trail. In Phoenix Adams found that he had rediscovered the long-lost cave where, in December of 1872, the Fifth Cavalry accomplished the greatest job of Indian killing in the history of the army. Tbe Indians, ? Mojaves and Apaches, had tied to the cave, pursued by five troops of cav- j airy and a company of Maricopa In[ flian scouts. [ The besiegers had settled down to , starve the aborigines out, when one ! W the troopers discovered that by j shooting at an overhanging rock bul- I lets could be made to glance into the j cavern. Firing in this manner was j Kept up until tue glancing Dunets una | ;, killed or wounded erery Apache with- j In. Then the Maricopas1 led the way | and finished the bloody job. Under the body of its mother was j found a year-old babe, which was ^ adopted by a Maricopa squaw, later to ; t>e sent to Eastern schools and to be- I <orae the famous ludiau physician. Dr. 1 Carlos Montezuma. To-day the skele- | tons lie as the bodies fell under the : merciless .carbine fire, and it is doubt-'! ful if in the intervening years a single j tfoot, with or red, has pressed the dust | ?of the tavern floor.

They burned ' buildings and attacked all the colored ' men that ventured on the streets. Edward Dean and Preston I.add, ] who were suspected of the crime, were j secretly removed to Dayton to save j them from the lynching that awaited , them here. J The rioters seemed determined to j take vengeance on the colored popula- j tion in whatever way they could. Un- ( offendiug nejrroes were dragged through the mud and badly beaten. , The ringleaders of the mob were j armed and revolver shots were heard , frequently. | lvempler's saloon, on East Columbia t street, was the first object of attack. s It was looted, and the owner fled down ^ the street, leaving his wife and three s little children asleep in a room over \ Ihe bar. Just as the crowd was about A to set tire to the building Ihe police , and firemen forced their way to the ^ door and rescued the woman and children in the nick of time. I Chief of Police O'Brien after this in- j cident ordered all the saloons in the j town closed, and the order was ^ promptly obeyed. j T On leaving Kempler's the mob j rushed across the street to a five-story r frame building from which the inmates j had fled. They smashed in the windows t and poured cil on the beds. They then c set the house on fire, and it Is now in t ruins. The firemen did their best to c save the structure, but as fast as a line of hose was run out some one in t the mob would cut it. The police a seemed powerless to interfere. j Major Horace Keifer called on the c two local companies of militia to aid , in restoring order, aud the Xenia com- , pany was ordered to report a": a mo- ^ ment's notice. Three companies of the t National Guard were called out. Jinjor iveilei, 1U cuiuuillliu Ul uuar panies B and E <Jf the local militia. e formed cordons arouud the endangered j district. It was believed at midnight r that the disturbance bad be.n quelled, s but the mob formed again after the j. militia thought it dispersed and re- t netved the attacKs on the negroes and the burning of buildings. j \ The quarter in which the disturb- t ance took place is known as the "Jun- t gles," and thi leaders urge their men r on with the cry: "Burn the Jungles." j It Is hoped that with tlte closing of the salo-.ns and the arrival sf the militia g the police will be able to stop further j: rioting. q Similar scenes were enacted here j two years aj,o, when a negro was a lynched for murder, and militia had to be tailed out to suppress the mobs in ^ the "Jungles." .

One of the principal grievances < WHICH TI1U ;tIIlilrill-Ill.' imiit'ia v.uiui'in is that the system arranged for a justing disputes is so slow that th< caunot obtain justice. The Isthmian Canal Commission hi adopted a suggestion made by Chal man Shouts to experiment with lab from the uorth part of Spain in co struetioii work on the Isthmus. The scene was lacking in dramatic e qnalities. The South Carolina Senator g offered the bill and report in the fewa est words possible, with the announces ment that when he had digested cer' tain data he would present a written * report "presenting the views of those s of us who are in favor of this kind of - legislation." ? An unusually large number of Senai tors were in their seats. On Mr. Tillf man's desk lay a big pile of documents, the records of the hearings of the ln3 terstate Commerce Committee on the * general subject of Government regu'? lation of railroad rates. Sitting beside & him wr.s Mr. Bailey (Dem., Tex.), the - recognized minority leader in the absence of Mr. Gorman, and the two s Senators conferred earnestly. Mr. & Tillman decided, however, that he was t not prepared to make a formal report, * -and that it would be more effective - simply to report the bill in accordance - with the resolution adopted by the committee, which provides that the members are left free to exercise indis vidual judgment concerning amendments that may be offered in the Senate. 1 As soon as the Vice-President called 1 for reports- of standing committees a number of Senators arose, but Mr. Tillman was recognized. He an^ nouuced that he had been instructed * by the Committee on Interstate Com'< merce to report House bill 12,'J87, witb2 out amendment, and lie read the resolution adopted. After a discussion - concerning the printing of the testl* j mony taken by the committee, an or 5 der was made for the publication or 1 10,000 copies. s Mr. Tillman gave notice that be * would press the bill to. the earliest s consideration. He said that much of r the testimony was irrelevant, and that t the committee had employed two experts, Messrs. Newcomb and Adams, I and they had made an epitome of the ? testimony, which also was printed, c Mr. Tillman announced that, as soon 6 as possible he purposed to digest the - testimony and to submit a formal rei port on the bill. He said that within <wo weeks he should move to make the - rate bill the unfinished business and s to displace the Statehood bill, if that 1 measure was not disposed of before 2 that time. The transcendent impori | tance of the rate measure and the I .wide interest in the subject through T out the couutry, lie said, maae u ac sirable that the hill should be consid ered without delay. As soon as he had concluded Mr. ' Aldrich (Rep., R. I.) was recognized and made a short, prepared speech, ^ giving the views of the minority of the committee, and promising that no - unnecessary delay would be placed in the way of the bill's consideration. ^ Mr. Culberson (Dem., Tex.) said that from the report made by the Seu ator from South Carolina, he noticed 1 that certain members of the commit* - tee reserved the right to offer amendf meats. ? "The Senator is not entirely correct 1 in his statement," interrupted Mr. Tillman. "The resolution was adopted - by the committee, and all members - have reserved rights concerning the - offeriug of amendments." "Well, then," said Mr. Culberson, "I i take it that in a large degree the corn- j mitlee's action to be no more or no j less than a transfer of a controversy | 1 from the committee to the Senate chamber. Therefore, I offer a substitute for the bill .iust reported. This ij substitute is in effect tbe bill ou the ~ same subject, which I previously inc troduced." ' The bill was ordered printed and to " lie on the table until the Rate bill is taken up. i j COLORADO FUEL INDICTMENT. I t !? Corporation and Oflicers Charged With g Violating Truck Store Law.
