ovenlng on special trains, and perfect
order was maintained throughout the
town from that time on.
Henry Htovons, a negro miner, who
lias long hucn considered a leader
among his associates, is declared to
liuve been the direct causu of the riot.
It is said he was also the leader of the
riot that occurred last September.
.Stevens has lone; uheribhod hatred for
Sheriff Downey and has openly made
threats that he would kill him on
sight. Sunday ho was on the streets
with a revolver, Baying he was look
ing for ShurilY Downey. He con
tinued this Monday and Sheriff
Downey came upon him on Locust
street. The sheriff. commanded
Stevens to deliver tho revolver and
told him ho was under arrest for carry
ing concealed weapons. Stevens,
without a word Instantly pulled his
-weapon and lired at the sheriff. Tho
bullet went wild. The sheriff imme
diately opened llro on the negro. Ste
von.s took to his heels and succeeded
iu gaining I'onwoll's general store in
Locust street. Hy this time tho
streets wero rapidly filling with men,
all of whom bore weapons.
Deputy Cheency (lushed into the store,
followed by Deputy .loo Mullen and
fcovoral citizens. A fusillade of bullets
was poured into the storo and Stevens
empted his revolver at his assailants
from behind the counter. Tho infuri
ated crowd at tho door continued the
11 ro and Stovous, seeing that death
was inevitable If he remained behind
tho counter, made a desperate dash
from his cover to a stairway in tho
rear of the store. Ho fell, pierced by
six bullets, boforo ho had gone ton
' feet. Ono of tho bullets had gono
through his neck, another through
his back, while other wounds wero of
u minor nature. Tho llrlng stopped
instantly and Deputy Choency rau to
tho wounded negro and placed him
under arrest. Stevens is a nogro of
robust constitution, big and brawny.
Tho shock of his numerous wounds
did not appurontly hurt him, for ho
sworo and said to tho deputy: "I sur
render," and with blood pouring down
his clothing, walked with his captor
lo a physician's office, whoro ho was
glvon medical attention. Ho was
'then taken to jail.
Meanwhile, tho riot was raging in
tho street. As soon as tho first shot
had been fired tho whlstlo of tho elec
tric light plant was blown as a signal
for tho citizens, tho majority of whom
Inn long ago boon sworn as deputies,
to turn out, armed and ready to fight.
At tho samu time tho miners of the
I'ana and l'onwoll mines, which aro
located about four blocks distant from
tho l'cnwoll store, which is in tho eon
tor of tho town, rushed Into the tip
iples and opened fire on the thronged
streets, tho news that Stevens, ono of
their numbttr, had been shot and ar
rested, arousing thorn to a plteh of
'fury. They shot at any living mark
in flight and, as a result, among their
victims aro throe women, two of whom
arc white women, wounded, und ono
negro woman, dead.
Gov. Tanner has issued a proclama
tion declaring martial law In I'ana.

so large in April as in March, and in
stead of customs receipts of S'il, 000,000
the amount will probably not bo more
than 318,000,00 or Sltl.OOO.OOO. Tho re
ceipts from internal taxation may be
expected to be larger than last mouth
and will possibly reach 24,000,000,
1'iMision payments amounting to Sll,
000,000 must bo made this month, and
possibly the indemnity of S'20,000,000
will bo paid to Spain before May 1.

A RUSH FOR PENSIONS.
Tho Tension onicn Overwhelmed with Ap
plication from .Soldiers of the
Spanish ll'nr.
Washington, April (J. The pension
olliee is being almost overwhelmed
with applications for pensions now be
ing filed by soldiers who served in the
war with Spain. The demand is be
yond all expectations. Tlio regiment
which has uchieved the distinction of
having tho largest number of applica
tions for pensions thus far is the
Thirty-fourth Michigan. Tho nutn
of pension applications so far received
from this regiment is .'ISO, or over one
fourth of tho enlisted strength of the
regiment. Many of tho regiments
whoso members have applied for pen
sions have never been under fire. The
principal cause upon which pensions
are asked is malaria. The pension
officials say the rush for pensions by
those who served in the Spanish war
is very remarkable in view of tho
fact that, up to 1883, thoro were a
number of regiments which had served
all through tho civil war which did
not have, all told, 100 applications.
It is the belief at the pension office
that tho pension attorneys tire largely
responsible for the largo number of
pension applications which have been
made.

of the body the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys once' every three
minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood that is their
work.
Purifying your blood is not a ques
tion of taking a laxative of physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
What the bowel-cleaner does is to
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but tho poisons which are al
ready in your blood, causing your pres
ent sickness, it leaves there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means of your
kidneys. .
That is why bowel-c-leaners fail to do
their work they fail to help the kid
neys. "When you are sick, then, no matter

ease is, the first thing you should do is

ness, sallow complexion, dropsy, irrita
bility, loss of ambition, obliged to pass
water oftcnduringtheday.and toget up
many times at night, and all kinds of
kidney, bladder and uric acid troubles.
