HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consump. tives take of their own cases is strongly in their favor. Each year is showing a larger per. centage of cures.
 ? One of the best reasons for good hope is the record oi Scott's Emulsion as a medicine for consumptives. So long as the system is strong enough to use medicine of any kind it can use Scott's Emulsion.
 The reason for its helpful ness in this disease is because of its long tolerance by the patient; one does not tire of it as quickly as other medi. cines and that is where the great benefit comes.

pChile Makes Threats to Carry Her
 Point.

Mexico City, Jan. 3,-The arbitration situation must reach a. crisis tomorrow morning as at that time expires the period of twenty-four hours granted to the Chileans by the President of the conference to announce their definite res olution.
 W. I. Buchanan, who Is the United States member of the Arbitration Com mittee, held a meeting with high Mexi- can officials thls afternoon with view to discussing a possible basis of agree ment. It is not, however, understood how the Mexican delegation can possibly withdraw from the compulsory plan as the Chileans want them to do. first, be- cause the Mexlcans have signed the plan, and. secondly, 1t was made an ex- press condition by some of the South American delegates for signing The Hague convention that theS Mexicans should join them in | compulsory plan os arbitration. Therefore. the Mexicans are in honor bound to stand where they are The Chileans have made some threats, one being that they will withdraw their legation from Mexico If they cannot have their way.

 Yet Be Attempted.

Oxford, Miss, Jan. 3-At S:9o this morn- ing court was called to order, and Mrs. Will Mathis resumed her testimony. She disclaimed all knowldge of her previous
 statement made before the coroner's jury, and said she was laboring under great ex- citement and fever and did not remember what confession she might have made Mir. Ragland, the jailer was next called to identify the letters written by Mathis
 to his wife and friends while in jail. The defense objected to the letters going be- fore the jury. The court ruled that the letters were competent testimony, and permitted the letters, together with Rag
 lands testimony, to go before the jury for what they are worth.
 The testimony for the defense closed at
 10 o'clock. The argument for the prose-
 cution was opened by United States Dis
 trict Attorney M. A. Montgomery. He
 was followed by Messrs. Kimbrough and Mize for the defense. The argument for the prosecution was closed by District Attorney Roane, and the case was given to the jury at 3:20 o'clock. At o'clock
 the jury brought in verdict of guilty as charged in the indictment.
 Will Mathis has maintained bold and
 defiant air during the trial, and has iNtiig-
 nantly asserted innocence. When the
 argument in the case began. his nerve
 seemed to fail him, and at the close of
 the case he was dejected and downcast.
 When the verdict was brought In, he
 broke down completely. He had nothing
 to say as to his innocence or guilt His
 wife was deeply affected and both wept bitterly.
 The Whit owens case will be called to-
 morrow. It Is expected to be the hardest fought case of all. as he is the only one of the four defendants who has eIn-
 ployed counsel
 Intense excitement prevails over the
 facts brought out in the trial, and the authorities fear that the prisoners Will yet be lynched.
 Every man who enters the court room is searched and every precaution Is be- ing taken to protect the prisoners.

as is conducted by Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, that 1t has to deal so many times with the disappointed hopes of women who have failed of the happiness of maternity. But 1t is one of the glad privileges of this same medical cores pondence bureau that in the greater number of such cases, the obstacles to maternity are overcome by the establish ment of the womanly health.
 Not infrequently women write that they feel perfectly well and cannot understand why they are denied the maternal happiness which they desire. Such women learn that feeling well and being well are widely different matters. Few women are by nature debarred from the happiness of maternity. In the majority of cases Dr. Pierce's Pavorite Prescription, supplemented by his free medical consultation by letter, are sui fcient to establish the womanly health and remove the obstacles to maternity.
