BATTLE IS IMMINENT.
Minister Bowen Says Executive Branch
 Venezuelan Government Moved.

Washington, October 1.-The follow ing cablegram has been received at the state department from United States Minister Bowen, at Caracas yesterday:
 q am informed by the minister for for eign affairs that the executive branch of the government has been transferred from here to Guaicaipuro, about twenty miles from here. It is understood the main armies met near Victoria this morning (yesterday), and an important engagement Is imminent"
 It is gathered from the above telegram and advices that have preceded it that the crisis has been reached in the Vene- zuelan revolution. It would not surprise the officials here were the rebels under Gen. Mates to occupy Caracas setting up a capital of their own and a provisional government. Mir. Bowen our minister, will then be confronted with the necessi- ty of recognizing either the Mates or the Castro government The fact that Ma tos may be in possession of Corocas when he applies for recognition doubtless would be powerful element in affecting MT. Bowsn's decision. But the mere To- cation of the capital Is not after all, the only determining element and the minis ter must base his decision upon the facts which show the existence of a real de facto government.

FREE TO EVERYONE.
A Priceless Book Sent Free for the
 Asking.

"There be books and books;" some edi- flying, others entertaining and still oth- CTS instructive. The average man is so busily engaged in the labor of money making that he has little time and less inclination for books which instruct; hence when he feels out of sorts, either he gives no heed to Natures warning, or he consults a physician, at an expense which a little knowledge would have en- abled him to avoid. There is probably no complaint upon which the public Is so little informed as hemorrhoids, or piles; this little book tells all about their na- ture. cause and cure; It treats of the diff ferent forms of blind, bleeding, itching and protruding piles, describes their symptoms and points the way to a cure so simple and inexpensive. that anyone can understand and apply. The importance of promptness and thoroughness is vital, for the disease will not cure itself, and Nature, alone, unaided, will not accom- plish a cure while the consequences are too painful for detailed description. You are told how piles originate, the reason for their appearance usually being that some of the rules of correct living have been violated and (what Is more to the point) how you may rid yourself Of this bane of human existence. All affections of ,ne rectum are treated in simple. plain language so that all may understand and learn how the cause may be removed. Many people suffer from piles, because after trying the numerous lotions, oint- ments and salves that are on the market, without relief, they come to the conc1u- sion that surgical operation is the only thing left to try, and rather than submit to the shock and risk to life of an oper- ation. prefer to suffer on. This little book tells how this may be avoided. and cure be effected without pain, inconvenience or detention from business. Write your name and address plainly on postal card, mail to the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Mar shall, Mich, and you will receive the book by return mail.

DR. LOUBNZ HAS
 TO GET LICENSE
THE FAMOUS VIENNA SURGEON FORCED TO APPEAR BEFORE THE ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF HEALTH BEFORE PRAcTIcINe.

Chicago, October 14-Dr Adolph Lo- renz, professor of orthopedic surgery in the University of Vienna. who operated successfully upon Lolita Armour. the young daughter of J. Ogden Armour last Sunday for congenital displacement of the hip, today appeared before the state board of health and secured license to practice his profession in this state. A summons to appear before the board was served on Dr. Lorenz this morning and this afternoon In compliance with the re- quest, appeared before that body and was granted license.
 The summons arose from the fact that since the successful operation on the child of MT. Armour, Dr. Lorenz has been besieged with appeals to operate on others afflicted with the same disease and the state board of health therefore, insisted that the doctor should take out a license if he intended to remain here and practice his profession
 Regarding the action of the board in issuing the summons, Dr. Egan, the sec retary of the state board of health, said, before the Vienna physician had applied for the license:
 There Is no clause in the state law re- garding practice merely in consultation cases. pr. Lorenz. as we understand it, came from Vienna to Chicago to operate on the child of MT. Armour in consulta- tion with Dr. Ridlon, and there was no objection to that; but now we hear that he means to remain here some time and continue to practice This is a different matter for the medical laws of this state require physicians to get license to practice in Illinois. It is customary for Illinois physicians to go to other states and for physicians in other states to come to Illinois for consultation; but If they continue to practice in other cases they would have to comply with the local law governing the profession. The board has taken no action beyond requiring Dr. Lorenz to appear here and state his in- tention in regard to the further practice in Illinois. We have no intention to im- pose any hardship, neither do we intend to make any exception to anybody. All must obey the law"
 How did the board get It's information in regard to Dr. Lorenz's operation which caused him to appear before the board?" was asked pr. Egan

Pacific.

Judge Thomas discussed these statistics at length. showing that the ratio of homi- cides does not depend on density of popu- 1ation or the proportion between the races or the illiteracy of the people. He attributes the high ratio fin the south largely to the readiness of the negro to take his fellow-negro's life, and thinks this Is partly due to his belief that in some way the white man will shield him from punishment because of the desire for his labor. In his charge he calls stoutly. for the enforcement Of law against white as well as black and against the former although his victim may be of the other color. Public opinion is pointed out as probably responsible for the differing ratio of homicide in different states in the same section. the ratio in Georgia, for instance, being to every 5o,000 popu- lation, against 13 in Alabama.
 Judge Thomas charged the jury espe- cially to look into any frauds that may have been committed in the recent pri- mary election. saying the time had come when ''such frauds are a larceny after trust. the assissin's stab ar our liber- ties"
