Several Political Prisoners Executed in
Guatemala.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22-News has
reached this city of the shooting in
Guatemala of number of political
prisoners, including two men who are
known oyer the Central American re-
public. The execution occurred last
month, at Huehuetlango.
The principal victim was Captain
Herculano Ruiz, brother-in-law of
GeneIal Fuentes, now in this city,
Another victim was the Honduran
colonel, Francisco Zelapa. He was ac-
cused of aiding the revolutionary party,
and was executed by order of Barrios,
the command being carried out by
General Luis Molina. Three other
prominent Guatemalans suffered death
in the same manner, including Licen-
ciado Marcello de Leon, lawyer, and
Elizando Baal.
1t is understood that there are in
Guatemaian prisons. no less than 228

THERE ARE OTHERS.

A rumor, that appears to be we'll
founded, is circulated at Portland to
the effect that new daily paper is to
be started in that city at an early date.
Rumor has it that the paper will be
under the management of Charles
Meserve, formerly editor of the Oregon
City Enterprise, and that it will be run
in the interest of Hon. John H. Nit
chell's candidacy for the United States
senate. 1t is said that plant consist.
ing of seven linotypes and a $4,000
press has been ordered, that the paper
will haye full telegraph service, and
that it will be the equal if not the
superior of the Oregonian as a news
paper.
There is no doubt but there is a field
in Portland for another daily paper,
but one started as the organ
of Hon. John Hipplc Mitchell, with no
object in view but the election of this
gentleman to seat in the U. S. senate
will not meet with hearty support
from the masses. Mitchell has dictated
to Oregon politics about long enough,
and as rule the people are tired of
catering to his wishes. They will refuse
to sacrifice everything for his person al
interests, and when Mr.. Mitchell ex-
poets the people of Oregon to come up
as unit and support paper that has 70
other object in view than his return to
the senate he will find that there are
others, and that his organ will fall like
D cold blanket on the people at large.

The situation at Kalo Chou bay re-

China regards Russia as her only

as approved that Port Arthur and

JUMPED FROM A WINDOW.
Ex-Secretary Herbert's Daughter Commits
Suicide

H1A-Secretary derberts Laughter Commits
Suicide
WASHINGTON, Dec 21.-Miss Leila
Herbert, daughter of the ex secretary
of the navy, died at her home in this
city this morning, as the result of
fall from the third story of her home
on New Hampshire avenue, in the
most fashionable part of the city.
The sudden death and the tragic
features surrounding. it were great
shock to the large circle of friends she
had made in Washington. tru,
Her death was traceable Indirectly
to an accident while horseback riding
in her native state, Alabama, about
two months ago. This morning she
was unusually bright aud cheerful.
Shortly before 10 o'clock she dressed
to go down stairs, but instead of de-
sceuding went to rear room of the
third story, from which she fell, sus.
tanning injuries which caused her
death.
The death was reported to police
headquarters as case of suicide, due
to melancholia and temporary aberra-
tion of mind as result of long ILL
ness.
Miss Herbert was the eldest of ex-
Secretary Herbert's three children,
and was charming figure in Wash
ingtou society. Socially she was ex-
ceedingly popular, and her presence
was sought at all gatherings. Her
social triumphs here were repeated in
Europe, where she went to attend the
great naval demonstration at Kiel.
Within the past year she has not en-
joyed robust health, but this only in
duced her to redouble her devotion to
out-of-door sports and exercises, and
it was while regaining her health by
outdoor riding that she met with the
cident that indirectly resulted in
her death. The coroner returned d
verd CT oil suicide through temporary
insanity. As the facts were clear, he
deci led that an inquest was unneces-
sary.

BOSH RECOMMENDATIONS.

No doubt President Mckinley was
honest in the expressions of his annual
message, advising economy and cut
ting down of expenses; but he has
spoiled the force of his argument by
announcing that he will ere long write
a special message to congress urging
the creation of department of COM
merce and industry. The creation of
such department would entail great
expense upon the government, neces
stating another cabinet officer and
some two or three hundred additional
employees. Should congress heed the
presidents recommendations. the bur-
dens on the backs of the nations tax
payers must be increased, and. instead
of economy being practiced more ex-
travagance will result: another army
of taxeaters will be created. Instead
of advocating the creation of a new de-
had the president insisted
upon the abolition of a few thousand
officers, his plea for econ
omy would have been better received,
aud would have shown a genuine de-
sire to cut down government expenses.

There is talk of forming a perma-
nent tariff commission. The national
board of trade is pressing the matter.
If such q commission is created the
tariff question would be largely re-
moved from politics. Undoubtedly
the tariff question would receive more
Intelligent consideration from the
commission than frcm congress. Prob.
ably. too, the success of the commits.
sion would lead to the abolishment of

His unusual talent soon brought
him reputation and prominence among
his professional brethren. First he
was elected to the professorship OF
anatomy and surgery in the, Vermont
University. Next he was appointed
lecturer on rnateria rnedica and Med
ical botany in Dartmouth College.
The next year he was chosen profess
sor of the chair then vacated by Prof.
Robby, and occupied the chair, the
most important one in the country. at
the time when he first formulated his
most remarkable prescription.
In view of the overwhelming tes-
tilnony to the value of Paine's celery

The story Of the life-work of the

1t was the world famed discovery by
Prof. Phelps Of an infallible cure for
those fearful ills that result from an
impaired nervous system and impure
blood which has endeared the great
doctor to the world, and made his life
an era in the practice Of medicine.
Prof. Phelps was born in Connecticut

+ to his profession a positive cure fo
sleeplessness, wasting strength, dys-
pepsia, biliousness, liver co rnplaint
neuralgia, rheumatism, all nervous
diseases and kidney troubles. Fol
all such complaints Paine's celery
compound has succeeded again and
again where everything has failed.
No remedy was ever so highly re-
commended. because none ever ac.
complish ed so much.
To-day Paine's celery compound
stands without competition for feeding
exhausted nerves and building up
the strength of the body. 1t cures
radically and permanently. The
nervous prostration and general dibil-
ity from which thousands Of women
suffer 50 long that it finally gets to be
second nature with them-all this
suffering and despondency can be
very soon removed by properly feed
ing the nerves, and replacing the
unhealthy blood by a fresher,, more
highly vitalized fluid. A healthy
increase in appetite and correspond
ing gain in weight and good spirits
follow the use Of Paine's celery
compound.
Paine's celery compound is the
most remarkable medical achievement
of this last half Of the nineteenth
century.
