(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, June lS.-(8peclal.)-The
somewhat famous Oreenwell case from
Mexico will not be finished immediately.
The case has assumed some peculiar phases
since It was started. Oreenwell Is accused
of murder In Mexico. He was arrested In
Davenport and held, awaiting the requisi
tion of the Mexican government. He was
brought to Des Moines for a preliminary
hearing before Clerk McArthur of the fed
eral court, acting as a commissioner, and
this hearing has developed Into a trial for
murder, la which the Mexican government
appeara as prosecutor, and an attorney la
here from Mexico to see that the case Is
prosecuted to the finish. But the proceed'
Inge are so peculiar that the attorneys have
been having trouble. One rule in regard to
such matters was that while the testimony
of tho Mexican government might be shown
by depositions that of the defense must be
by oral testimony. The impossibility of
putting up a good defense here by oral
testimony waa apparent and so the at
torneys In the case telegraphed the Mex
ican ambassador for permission to make a
showing for the defense by depositions. In
order to get these a thirty days' continu
ance was agreed to.. In the meantime the
attorney for the Mexican government will
remain here and Oreenwell will be sent
back to jail at Davenport.

NEW YORK, June 15. Developments of
great Interest In the Investigations of the
postofflce scandals are expected here this
week.
The many Inspectors sent from Wash
ington pursued their Inquiries with evident
haste all day yesterday and the signs are
many that the crisis Is soon to come.
Rumors of action by the grand Jury and
of Impending arrests were heard In the
hotel corridors and wherever politicians
gathered and talked of the postofflce mat
ters, the political Importance of which they
recognise fully.
The federal grand Jury for the June term
Is to meet on Friday, and rumor has It that
various charges affecting the postofflce will
be presented to It then.
. WASHINGTON. Jt.ne IS. -The chief poat-
cmce inspector, Mr. Cochran, today re-
turned from New York, where he went In
connection with the Investigation of post
office affairs.
The omcla:s refuse to disclose the na
ture of his mission, but say that the pub
lished reasons for his trip are not correct
Inspectors were busy today In the office of
the assistant attorney general for the Post
office department, continuing the overhaul
ing of the records.
It Is probable that one of the' ultimate
reeults of the Investigation will be the
abolishment of the office ot the postofflce
physician on the ground that there Is no
authority In law for the employment of
such an officer. Their employment at
Washington and New York already has at.
traded attention. There are five postofflces
In the country where physicians are car
ried on the rolls. The office of phyrlclan
was abolished in Washington some lime
ago. The cities where postofflce physicians
are now employed are New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Boston.
MITCHELL IS DISAPPOINTED
Labor Leader, However, Still Expects
to Find Some Wuy Out of
Difficulty,
SCRANTON, Pa., June 16. The United
Mfne Workers' convention, called for the
purpose of taking action qn the refusal
of operatora to recognise District Presidents
Fahey, Nichols and Dettry as the miners'
representatives on the conciliation board,
was called to order here today.
President Mitchell, who was unanimously
chosen chairman. In addressing the con
vention, said:
It la needleas to say that the refusal cf
the mine cwners to live up to the award
of the strike commission is a decided dis
appointment to me.
We Intend to live up to every letter of
the award, and, therefore, , it Is not un
reasonable for us to expect the other side
to live up to it. It is a grave question
which Confronts us. The time is here
when we must again decide upon a spe
clflo policy toward our employers.
1 might say, for myself, that I am hopeful
we may find an honorable way out of the
calamity. The commission's award was not
a great financial victory for ua, but It was
a great moral victory. We can afford to
bear our disappointment and live ap to the
sward.
Lynching Is Feared.
CINCINNATI. June 15. Sheriff Robert
son of Maysvllle, Ky.. arrived In Covington
today to take three negroes, Mann. Morris
and 8andrra, back to that city to anawer
to the charge of having robbed and ahot,

aged farmer of Maysvllle. Farrow has

a lynching Is feared. On this account two
companies of militia have been ordered to
Maysvllle. One company from Frankfort
la now encamped here, while a company

No Summer Bowel Troubles
Not for mc ! I'm safe from all of them and happy. The heat of sum
mer causes organic matter everywhere to decay. All dead vegetable or
animal matter rots if not kept on ice. All undigested food in the
human body will ferment a hundred times as quickly in summer as in
winter. Consequence stomach, liver, bowels poisoned, thrown out of
order sour stomach, gases, colic, diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera, append
icitis, and in some regions yellow fever and the plague. Little children
suffer terribly everyw here. What does good sense tell you to do ? You
can't keep the numan body on ice, and the drinking of ice-cold drinks
does more harm than good because it stops digestion and chills the in
ternal organs. The proper thing is to keep all impure and unnecessary
matter out of the body every day, not give it a chance to sour and de
cay in me stomacn and bowels, and poison the blood and the whole
