Mrs. +, l., Fielder, Dellefonte, Pa, writes
as follows 1.-TWO of our children were taken
i'll with diphtheria and the disease developed
into a most serious form. BY the aid of
skilful physicians all possible means and
medicines were applied and still our dear
ones grew worse. A kind neighbor suggested
we use Thompson's Diphtheria Cure. We did
so and in less than twenty-four hours the
coating was all removed from their throats
and the boys were up and about. The third
day they could eat with comfort | cannot
say too much for ThOmpson's Diphtheria
Cure, as | feel sure it saved our children"

SPANISH CONSULATE IN DANGER
A Mob I'm Mexico Threatened tn
Spanish Representatives.


Spanish Representatives.
Every day during the past six months
there have been encounters in the City of
Mexico between Mexicans and Spaniards,
and the general government is taking some
measures to quell any public demonstration
of hostility to Spain.
In the city of San Luis Potosi the feeling
runs so high that serious trouble is threat
eped. Last Wedr esday night a mob gath
cred in that city, infianed by circular
said to have been written by Spaniard,
and defaming Mexicans and Mexican insti-
tutiohs, especially in reference to the part
taken in sympathy with the Cubans. This
circular precipitated riot. A crowd gath
cred early in the evening, constantly grow
ing in numbers and violence, until at 10
O clock 1t had reached the proportions of a
mob that swept everything before it.
The mob gathered around the Spanish
consulate and threatened to demolish the
structure, but were finally controlled by
one or two cool heads. The banners in
Sc eribed with huge red letters, were Haunted
before the consulate and violent talk and
Insults abouuded.
The Spanish consul was in great peril.
and appealed to the authorities to protect
him. The mob finally left, after severe
measures had been taken by the police, and
plans were hurriedly made to disperse any
subsequent gathering.
