Colon, Colombia, Aug. "a, via Kings
ton, Jamaica, Aug. 26.-The censor

litical news or news unfavorable to
the government.
The revolt of the liberal Colombian
rebels, now two years old, lately as

liberals concentrating on the isthmus
1t is believed they are contemplating
aggressive action. Consequently, un-
easiness prevails at Panama, the lib
eral objective, which was nearly cap
tured year ago. 1t is not believed
the rebels will molest the railroad or
interrupt traffic. The recent rebel
raids along the railroad amounted to
bloodless raiding and the robbery of
Chinese storekeepers, which the pres
ence of a few government troops
stopped. There is a report that the
government is bringing troops to pro-
tect the isthmus. This will be diff
cult, without exposing to rebel at.
tacks the points whence they are
taken. The area of the revolt is ex.
tensive.
A Noticeable Feature.
A noticeable, distinguishing feature
os the revolution is the actual, moral
support the liberals are receiving
from Venezuela, Ecuador and Mica
ragua, in which countries liberal gov
ernments prevail. Colombia's govern
ment is not popularwith revolutionary
elements in the same countries. The
situation can be likened to a disrupted
federation, composed of Venezuela,
Ecuador, Colombia and Nicaragua, il
which liberal and conservative parti
sans are helping each other and in
triguing together. But, being sepa.
rate nations, the political and armed
irtrigues threaten international trou.

Conservative Revolt In Venezuela.
1t is reported that the conservative
revolt in Venezuela against President
Castro is receiving active support
from the Colombian conservatives,
Nicaragua's threatened revolution
will probably be similarly aided on
the occasion arising. The conditions
give ground for the reports of actual
or threatened international complica-
tions between the countries men,
toned, in which the liberals are gen.
orally opposed to Colombia's conserv'
ative administration, whose prophe-
sled downfall is accompanied by talk
of federation or consolidation of

No man in the capital city of the State
of Ohio is better known than the Rev.
James Poindexter. For many years he
has been the successful pastor Of the
Second Baptist Church of that city.
Every day his venerable figure and
kindly face may be seen on the streets
Of the city where he has labored for so
many years. What q history Of benev-
olence and self-sacrifice might be writ
ten by simply giving the details of the
everyday life Of this faithful pastor and
eloquent preacher.
But old age comes to the best Of men.
The rheumatics peculiar to advanced
age had already begun its insidious raw
ages when 1t became necessary to find o
remedy, II possible, that his days Of use
fitness might not be shortened.
An efficient nerve tonic that would
stimulate the circulation, improve the
digestion, and increase the tone and
vigor of his whole system, was needed.
The only remedy capable of meeting all
these indications was found to be Pc
runa. In areoentletter to DR.. Hartman,
he states:
any attention was called some time
ago to your medicine for rheumatic
troubles by Mr.. Cook, an old reliable
druggist of this city, and take pleasure
In saying that have trie6 them and
found them good. 1t is my opinion that
the remedy, Peruna, is justly entitled to
tne fame which it has throughout the
United States"
