A Large Relief Fund Sub
scribed at Lebanon.
AID WILL COME NONE TOO SOON
Thirty Thousand Men, Women and
Children Are Reported Starv
ing In the State.
Denver, Aug. 30. A special to the
Aews from Lebanon, Ind., eays:
An immense meeting was held last
night at the opera house in behalt of the
starving coal camera m Indiana. Thomas
J. Terhune made a statement of the
condition of the miners as he found it
while making his investigation as Gov
ernor Mount's special commissioner.
He said :
"There are 8000 families in this state
in destitution. Thirty thousand people
who are literally.'starving. A few years
ago they received $1.25 per ton ; now the
average price paid is about 35 cents per
ton. A good miner can make $1 a day
and is allowed to work two or three
days each week. They are compelled to
trade at company stores and the prices
they pay are left entirely to the mine
operators. The miners admit that they
cannot liye upon the present scale of
wages."
A large subscription to the relief fund
was raised.
E. V. Debs left Terra Haute for St.
Louis last night to attend the confer
ence called by the national executive
board of United Mineworkers. He says
there has been a remarkable change in
public sentiment on the injunction ques
tion ; that whereas three years ago there
was hardly any dissent from the course
of judges who were issuing restraining
orders against the strikers, the prepon
derance of sentiment now is in opposition.

Pittsburg, Aug. 30. Marching by
the striking miners was practically aban

rain. Captain Bellingham, with a
squad of strikers, went to the Peterman

ATTACKED BY MOO.NSBINEKS.
Deputy Marshals Ambushed and Shot
In Arkansas.
Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 30. Two
deputy United States marshals are dead,
two seriously wounded and two more
missing as a result of an attack upon a
posse officers by a gang of desperate
moonshiners in Searcy county. The
dead are: B. F. Taylor, of Searcy
county and Joe Dodson, of Stone county.
The wounded men are the Kenfrow
brothers. The names of the missing
men are not given, but they are suppos
ed to be deputy sheriffs of Searcy coun
ty.
Taylor, one of the murdered men, was
.60 years of age and was the wealthiest
man in Searcy xounty. Dodson was a
well-known deputy and has been a ter
ror to moonshiners. He was leading a
raid when the terrible affair occurred.
The officers had approached to within
30 yards of an illicit distillery, when
they were fired upon from ambush.
Taylor and Dodson fell at the first volley,
dead in their tracks. The shooting
occured 35 miles from Russell ville, at a
point ten miles south of Witt Springs.
The locality is in the mountains, and
has for many years been a favorite ren
dezvous for moonshiners and counter
feiters. News of the tragedy was

Rare Specimens.
New Yobk, Aug. 30. One hundred
huge caseB that have just arrived at the
Museum of Natural History in Central
Park are regarded with more than usual
satisfaction by the directors of the
museum. They are the bones of re
markable specimens of extinct animals,
dug out of the earth many feet below
the Surface of Wyoming, Nebraska,
Colorado an 4 Texas. They are the first
consignment of the results of the
summer's work of the ' numerous expe
ditions sent out by the museum.
In these 100 cases there is one perfect
specimen of the flying lizard, that was
twelve feet long. Professor Mathews
said there were numerous other sections
of lizards, but only one complete speci
men, which was taken from Kansas soil.
It belonged to a period of ages before
man was dreamed of, and flew like a bat
in the night and fed on fishes.
Professor Mathews, who had charge of
an expedition to Kansas, has just re
turned. On bis way back be got into
Wyoming with Professor Wortman's
expedition. When that section returns
to New York in October there will be
brought along a monster lizard over 50
feet long. It is being dug out of Wyom

estimated 20 feet more remained to be
excavated.

As a result of the test, the defendant
will, it is said, ask Judge Tuthill to re
move his court and jury to the basement
of the big sausage factory for a few hours
and witness another experiment which
the defense claims will completely dis
prove the states theory of disintegration.

Completed.
Chicago, Aug. 30. The trial of
Adolph Luetgart for the murder of his
wife, began in earnest today, the pre'
liminary work of securing the jury hav
ing been completed.
Contrary to the expectations of the
state, the jury will be asked by the de
fenee to witness an experiment in the
vat in the basement of the sausage fac
tory. This is to be the result of an ex
periment conducted by Luetgart's attor
neys Saturday and Yesterday. The
body of a man, of about Mrs. Luetgart's
age and weight, who met death by
violence Thursday, was taken to the
factory on Diversey avenue and inv
mersed in a solution of caustic potash
Experts reported that after boiling the
body in a fifteen-, per cent solution of
potash for the same length of time as

Legislation Looking to Its Adoption Is
Fending'
New York, Aug. 30. A dispatch to
to the Herald from Lima, Peru, says :
El Commercio says editorially that
the financial measures recently submit
ted to and now pending in the Peruvian
congress, will, without doubt, tend to
the adoption of the gold standard in
Peru. The result El Commercio further
says, will not be brought about without
a monetary crisis more or less intense.
The gold standard, in the opinion of
the paper, waB the only remedy for Pe
ru's present financial straits, and such a
change would be productive of perma
nent good. In the meantime, business
in Peru is practically at a standstill, the
markets are almost in a state of panic.
A dispatch from Buenos Ayres says
the wheat crop in the province of Santa
Fe is calculated at about 10,000 tons,
scarcely more than enough to supply the
province for the year. What is true in
Santa Fe province is said to be true in
the other provinces, that is, none will
furnish more than enough tor home use.
Advices from Rio de Janeiro state that
the fanatics attacked several convoys of
provisions and ammunition in the inte
rior a few days ago and a bloody battle
followed. The fanatics were forced to
retire after severe losses. The Brazilian
troops had 2S officers wounded. The fa
natics are now reorganizing their forces
and another attack on convoys is expect
ed, as the fanatics are in need of ammu
nition.

Wants the Ulrard Millions.
Kansas City, Aug. 30. Mrs. Edith
Singles, wife of Frank Singles, of this
city, a traveling salesman, today made
the following sensational declaration :
"I am a descendant of Stephen Girard,
the multi-millionaire of Philadelphia,

Girard's father. When Stephen Girard

increased until it is now about $20,000,

No mvsterv about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
awav. a bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at their New
York office, there waB a great rush and
a great many people thought they were
crazy.
Snbseauent events proved to have
been a very clever advertising transac
tion, for although they gave away
iVirwiHRnrla nf bottles, it was in the end
profitable ; nearly every one that took a
free bottle came back for more and paid
for it with pleasure, saying they had de
rived better results- from its use than
from any other medicine they had ever
used.
There is nothing so uniformly success
ful in the treatment of stomach troubles

With the close of the Presidential Campaign THE TRIBUNE recognizes the
fact that the American people are now anxious to give their attention to home and
business interests. To meet this condition, politics will have far less space and
prominence, until another State or National occasion -demands a renewal of the
fight for the principles for which THE TRIBUNE has labored from its inception
to the present day. and won its ereatest victories.
Every possible effort will be put forth, and money freely spent, to make THE
WEEKLY TRIBUNE pre-eminently a National Family Newspaper, interesting,
instructive, entertaining and indispensable to each member of the family.
