The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, August 6,1902. Tinder Martial Law. Shenandoah, Pa., July 30.?A reign of terror^compared with which the scenes enacted during the riots of 1980 seem insignificant, holds Shenandoah in its grasp tonight. Since 6 o'clock this evening Centre street, which is one gf the principal streets iu. i i Ul WJe iuwu, uttc uccu iu wo uauuo of an infuriated mob. Two of the borough policemen were shot, one perhaps fatally. Joseph Bedall, a leading merchant and cousin of Sheriff Bedall, was brutally clubbed to death and upwards of a score of strikers, whose names at this writing could not be ascertained, were shot by policemen, and it is expected that many deaths will result. The trouble started when the Deputy Sheriff attempted to escort two non union workers through the strikers' line of pickets. The workmen were dressed in their street clothes, but one of them carried a bundle un der his arm and this aroused the suspicion of the strikers. The bundle was torn from him and wbert it was found to contain a blouse and overalls the man was taken from the deputy and beaten almost to death. In the meantime the deputy opened fire on the mob which had gathered l)y this time and emptied his revolver. Two shots took effect, one man being shot in the leg, another in the foot. The deputy and the strikers were now compelled to fight for their lives and took refuge in the Philadelphia and Beading depot. The depot was soon surrounded by an angry mob of 5,000, which was becoming more threatening and demonstrative every moment. In a few moments, however, the police fired a volley dispersing the crowd for a brief period. Stones were thrown thick and fast about the heads of the < police, whereupon Chief Johnsey gave the order to fire. At the first volley the mob fell back and several were seen to fall. Their retreat, however, was but momentary. They turned with revolvers, stones and a few show guns they charged on the little band of policemen and made them fly for their lives. The policemen turned in their fight at short intervals and fired volley after volley at their merciless pursuers, but the mob seemed thoroughly infuriated and smoking revolvers seemed to have no terrors for them. When the Le high railroad crossing was reached a passing freight; train blocked the progress of the men, two of whom were caught and brutally beaten. It is estimated that upwards of one thousands shots were fired and the wonder is that more fatalities did not result More than twenty strikers were shot and at least two of them will die. Many of the mer- | chants and politicians are refusing to | sign the call for troops, fearing that I the miners will boycott them after the trouble is over, and as the Governor has made the sending of troops contingent on the petition of citizens there is some doubt as to whether they will be sent. Shenandoan, Pa., July 31.?The city is under martial law today. It is reported that two Polanders were killed during the night's riot. Their bodies were carried away by friends. Fifteen hundred troops, fully armed, under General Gobin, are on duly and five thousand rioters who stormed the police with guns, revolvers, stones and clubs are held in check for the time being. It is known today that the two hours fighting last night resulted in at least thirty-seven wounded, seven fatally. Overja thousand shots were fired. Governor Stone who sent the corps at the demand of Sheriff Bedall is expected from the Adirondack's to dav and will come to the scene. Wilkesbarre, July 31.?President Mitchell is working hard to restore peace in the rioting district of Shenandoah. He has issued the following statement: "While not informed of the causes of the regretable occurrence at Shenandoah, and while consequently I am not in a position to say whether miners or deputies are responsible, I am, nevertheless much grieved to learn that there has been a serious violation of the law. I have repeatedly warned the miners 4-? ' J ' - A that the person who violates law was the worst enemy the strikes could have. I have directed the local officers and committees to be constantly alert against any breach of the peace and I trust judgment will be withheld until the responsibility for the Shenandoah trouble has been properly located." Shenandoah, July 31 -Several small I outbreaks of strikers occurred on the outskirts of the city today, but were promptly surpresBed. Wilkesbarre. Julv 31.?The local leaders of the United Mine Workers deplore the shedding of blood and the calling out of troops. They declear the presence of soldiers will encourage operators to stafc ethe mines working: Local operators, who could be seen today think the backbone of the strike is broken and that it will be only a short time before there is a general resumption ot mining. Shenandoah, July 31?A telephone message from Sheriff Bedall has just been received by General Corbin, asking for troops to quell a serious riot raging at New Philadelphia. The message says a number of ncn union men are penned in a house and a collision is imminent between the Sheriff's posse and the strikers. . How's This.

I was troubled with n3y stomach for several months. Upon being advised to use Kodol, I did so, and words cannot tell the good it has done me. A neighbor had dyspepsia so that he had tried most everything. I told him to use Kodol. Words of gratitude have come to me from him because I recommended it.?George W. Frye, Viola, Iowa. Health and strength, of mind and body, depend on the stomach, and normal activity of the digestive organs. Kodol, the great reconstructive ionic, cures all stomach and bowel troubles, indigestion, dyspepsia. Kodol digests any good food you eat. Take a dose after meals. J. E. Kaufmann.

"He rubbed the poison off his hands into his eyes and for awhile we were afraid he would lose his sight. Finally a neighbor recommended DeWitt's TTT? . 1 T~T* f 1 m f /% I 1* Witcn nazei salve, xne first application helped him and in a few days he was as well as ever." For skin diseases, cuts, burns, scalds, wounds, insect bites, DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is sure cure. Relieves piles at once. Beware of counterfeits. J. E. Kaufmann. Patience Among the Indians. Every one knows how the Indian can endure and wait. "Why are there so many people at this railway station?" "They are waiting," the official answers, "for tomorrow's train." His patience indeed goes to make that dignity which justifies the eaying, "There is no vulgarity in India." He does not strive or cry, he does not assert himself by speech or dress. He is not anxious to seem other than he is. Quiet and dignified, although he iB one that servetb, he is in some respects greater than many he serves. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy has a world wide reputation for its cures. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by J. E. Kaufmann. CANCEROUS K a W rr~- am, n Are in many respects like other ulcers or S m m &jg Sh IHl sores, and this resemblance often proves fatal. Valuable time is lost in fruitless efforts to heal the sore with washes and salves, because the germs of Cancer that are multiplying in the blood and the new Cancer cells which are constantly developing keep up the irritation and discharge, and at last sharp shooting pain3 announce the approach of the eating and sloughing stage, and a hideous, sickening cancerous sore begins its destructive work. In February, 1899, I noticed a small , * . i.-i lump on my lower lip. The doctor cauls O ulcer or sore can exist with- terized it but another camp and broke out some predisposing internal cause 0ut into an opea sore.
