CRISIS 1N I‘ll no
Martial Law Declared in the Little
Town of Coffeen, Ills.
A THREATENING SITUATION.
Several Strike Leaders Arrested — Two
Hundred Armed Deputies Assembled
by Sheriff—Stringent Measures
to Prevent Rioting.
Htllsboro, 1115., Aug. 10.—The situa—
tion at the Coffeen mine is changed for
the worse. Strikers have arrived from
different points, until 800 men are there,
and 1,000 more are expected. A number
of arrests of strikers have been made,
and the prisoners brought here for
trial. One striker from Mount Olive
was bound over to keep the peace, and
in default of the bond was sent‘to jail.
This has tended to excite the strikers.
A number of small fights and difficul—
ties have occurred.
"General” Bradley is on the ground
and says that every miner in the dis-
trict has been ordered to Coffeen to pre-
vent work. Sheriff Randle, in antici-
, pation of trouble, has sent out ,to other
' (Owns for additional deputies.
At pres-
ent nearly every man in Coffeen is on
duty, with many from Hillsboro.
Twenty-five armed deputies have been
ordered from Nokomis and 50 from
Hillsboro to proceed at once to Coffeen.
The sheriff has an armed force of 200
men. Everyjtriker is armed with a
short stick or club, and those so far ar—
rested have been found to be armed
with revolvers. Two heavy trains of
coal were run out of Coffeen last night
at a high rate of speed, so that they
could not be stopped.
The request of Sheriff Randle to Gov-
ernor Tanner to send state troops was
refused on the ground that the sheriff
had not exhausted his resources. The
general opinion here is that the sheriff
will be able to control the strikers. At
this writing a number of deputies are
starting for Coffeen. Good judgment
and coolness may avert trouble, but
aggressive acts on the part of the dep-
uties in the excited condition of affairs
may precipitate a riot and bloodshed.
All Eyes on Coffeen.
St. Louis, Aug. 10.——A dispatch to The
Republic from Mount Olive, Ills., says
that the interest in the strike situation
in that district is now centered in Cof-
feen. The president of the village has
declared martial law, and Coffeen has
been cut off from outside communica—
tions. The delegations from Mount
Olive and other points, numbering
about 400 men, are encamped near
the village, while an armed body of
marshals patrols the corporate limits
and permits no one to enter unless he
has permission from the president of
the village. Several wagon loads of
provisions have been taken from Mount
Olive to feed the, encamped miners, as
they are not permitted to enter the vil-
lage to buy provisions. People from
the surrounding country were stopped
by the marshals, and in several cases
refused admission inside the corporate
litres. ~
Anthracite Miners May Strike.
Pittsburg, Aug. 10.——On the success or
failure of the bituminous coal miners’
strike depends a movement contem-
plated by the anthracite miners for
higher wages and better conditions.
District President Patrick Dolan and
other officials of the United Mine
Workers’ organization have received
several letters within the last few days
from different parts of the Pennsylva-
nia anthracite coal regio asking for
information on the out ook of the
strike. If the bituminous miners win,
the anthracite diggers think they would
have an equal chance of securing an
advance in wages. If- the present strike
is lost, the attempt for an dvance will
not be made in the anthrac te regions.
The anthracite miners are poorly or-
ganized. At one time their union was
strong, but disastrous strikes in which
the men were beaten resulted in a
gradual shrinkage in the union. The
United Mine Workers’ officials have
sent cheerful news in response to the
request for an opinion on the outcome
of their strike. The intention of the
anthracite miners is to get together as
many of their fellow workmen as pos-
sible before any demand for higher
wages is made, and looking to this end
organizers will begin work at once.
Strikers’ Money Withheld.
All the miners of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company who are
still at work were paid today, but those
who struck did not receive any money,
the company insisting upon the terms
of the contract. by which the men
agreed to forfeit all money due them
in case they refused to work. All the
miners ,who can give a reasonable ex-
cuse for attending any of the meetings
will be paid. The company has the
names of all the men who have been
at these meetings and took part in any
of these demonstrations. Unless they
can give a. satisfactory explanation
they will get no money. The strikers
say the men have. promised to quit
work as soon as they get their pay,
but Superintendent Samuel De Armitt
says the strikers will not take a man
out of Plum Creek mine except 29, who
will be discharged. Owing to the care-
lessness of the guard about the Sandy
Creek mine, 40 men went into the
mine today and are now at work. Last
week there were but three men at work
and only three cars of coal were mined.
Some of the. details for the march on
the mines in Westmoreland county and
central Pennsylvania have been ar-
ranged. It probably Will be made to-
morrow or theynext day. It is expected
to take a small army of men from
the Pittsburg district and march to the
mines that are open. Several brass
bands have been engaged, and it is
hoped to make a successful campaign.
The application for an injunction to
restrain the miners from congregating
near the mines of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company, which
was to have been filed in the United
States court today on behalf of the
nonresident stockholders of the com—
pany, has not been presented. Judge
Acheson has gone to his home in Wash-
ington county.

Norwalk People are Talking
About it on every .
Corner.
' t is sometimes an easy matter to fool
the public, but you can’t keep it up
very long. They are sure to find you
out; and every time a man is fooled an-
other skeptic is made. Skepticism is
allowable when reading in a home
newspaper about some incident occur—
ring in San Francisco or Iowa, but the
circumstances are entirely different
when it refers to some one right here
at home, friends and neighbors, people
you know, whom you can see, and with
whom you can talk it over. This is
the kind of evidence at the back of
Doan’s Kidney Pills—home statements
by home people, and the astonishing
local work they have been doing, has
caused more talk among our citizens
than the doings of any other modern
wonder. Read the following:
Mr. C. A. Owens, N o. 190 Main street
isa painter and a paper hanger by
trade. Like the majority of men who
follow this occupation he is troubled
with disordered kidneys. The requis-
ites to his calling bensine, turpentine,
and other dryers excite and inflame
those organs and late in the fall he
found himself suffering from a. return .
of the old complaint. Mrs. Owens ever
mindful of her husband’s welfare, pro-
cured for him a box of Doan’s Kidney
Pills at Hale’s drug store and he used
them. Mrs. Owens says, “Myhusband
has been greatly benefited by the use
of Doan’s Kidney Pills: Constant
working in white lead and mixing paint
has brought on kidney trouble and a
severe headache. Relief in any form
is always welcome and we are pleased
to recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills for
what they have done.

Under the Leadership of tho Mullah. Fun
~~Shabkmr is fAitackede _ . ‘
London Aug. lib—A dispatch to The
Times from Simla says another out-
break is oflicially reported on the Af—
ghan frontier. The mullah, who
preached against England during the
Chitral campaign, has again stirred up
strife in the Mohmand country by rep-
resenting that the success of the, Turks
in Europe provides a favorable oppor-
tunity for defying English rule. He has
gathered some thousands of followers.
As it was too late for him to assist in.
the attack on Camp Malakand, he at-
tacked Fort Shabkadr, 18 miles from
Peshawur, last Saturday.
The police and garrison beat off the
natives, who then burned a Hindoo vil-
lage and killed some of the inhabitants.
, A strong force of cavalry, infantry
and artillery has been sent from Pesha-
wur to punish rebels, and it is re-
ported that they have fled and re-
crossed the frontier.
BIG CUSTOMS SWINDLB.
Supposed Discovery of a Successful Scheme
in British Columbia.
Rossland, B. 0.. Aug. 10.—T-he cus-
toms officials have discovered a smug-
gling scheme on a. large scale. The trail
up from the Omanangan country passes
into Cana‘da at Kruger’s, on Ozoyoor
lake, where the custon house is located,
and then makes a turn into the United
States and re—enters the Dominion at a
point several miles east of the custom
house. The town of Oroo is the head-
quarters of the smugglers. Freighters
from the States bringing produce come
up the trail to Kruger’s, pay duty on
the stuff they have in their wagons and
then follow the road acrossthe line to
Oroo. Here they pick up quantities of
groceries. principally tobacco and can-
ned goods, and follow the road into Cari-
ada again, to which they gain access
without difficulty, as all the goods have
presumably paid duty at Kruger’s, far-
ther back on the line.
