In the requirement Of tan.
Sitting for hours upon a sun-baked
beach often ruins the complexion ir-
retrievably. 1t is hard upon a youth

especially inimical to the aging wo-

parch the skin, the same as by sitting
before a hot fire. The custom is as
provocative of wrinkles as 1t is of tan.
Excessive burning and tanning of
the skin may be prevented by rubbing

necessary precaution for women with

B Martin of Adair County; Auditor. B.
F. Carroll of Davis County; Treasurer
Gilbert 8. Gilbertson OF Winnebago Coun-
ty; Attorney General, c. w. Mullan Of

The only controversy was over the tariff
and trust utterances Of the platform, and
that was settled in the Committee on
Resolutions in favor of reiteration OF
last years utterances with an addition
to the truse plank congratulating Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the inauguration OF ju-

that IL will be mutually beneficial to the

Approving his purposes and assured
that he has the confidence OF the people,
we look forward to his election to the

event demsnded by the popular will and
one that will maintain and promote the

VENEZUELAN REVOLUTION.
One Defeat Of Rebels Would Leave
Castro Supreme.

Castro supreme.
willemstad, July so-AIl eastern ports
of Venezuela, including Barcelona. have
been abandoned by President Castro. all
of whose forces and resources are being
concentrated near La Victoria. which Is
three days distant from Caracas, and
which Is near the mountainous district of
Guarico, where the advance guard of
revolutionists under General Mendoza
appeared some days ago.
General Mendoza's forces retreated.
however, to Join General Mateo's army,
which today was In the neighborhood of
Ell Somrero and advancing by forced
marches. Once these two forces effect a
junction, IL is expected that they will
take the offensive against President Cas-
tro. The situation of the Government 10
far from clear. Notwithstanding the revo-
luton seems lacking in unity and direc-
ton.
Although there is much opposition TO
President Castro, he still controls the
situation and a single defeat inflicted to
the revolutionists probably would render
him the arbiter of the country's future.
The President intends to leave Caracas
for La Victoria Thursday. The revolu-
tionists have reappeared on the outskirts
of Caracas.
The U. s. s. Potomac has visited La

DROWNED In BOTTOMS
COTTON CHOPPERS THOUGHT TO
HAVE LOST LIVES.
Long Continued Rains Have Soften

Texas Lines-The BRACES
Again Rising.

Dallas, Tex, July 30-Advices from the
State at large do not show improvement
in the flood situation tonight.
A report comes from Hillsboro that be-
tween 400 and 500 men were chopping
cotton in the bottoms between Richland
and Post Oak Creeks when the heavy
rain fell Saturday; and it is feared that
some of them were drowned, as no COM
munication has been received from them.
The long continued rains have softened
the railroad beds in many places where
trouble has never been experienced be-
fore, and the southwestern portion of
the State particularly is suffering at
present
The International and Great Northern

almost completely tied up and the M.

for its fast trains. Lines in North Texas
had trouble to contend with. The Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas is washed out
between Dallas and Greenville, and
trains are being detoured by Farmersville.
1t is expected this damage will be re-
paired tonight.

out travel VIII not De interrupted.
There was a veritable cloud-burst at
Greenville last night.
Trouble on the Santa Fe was confined
to the Little River district near Cameron
and the main line of the Houston and
Texas Central seems to have suffered the
least of any of the roads. Trains are
coming through both on that road and
the Santa Fe.
The Texas and Pacific is running trains
west as far as Big Springs, and as far
east from FL Paso as Stanton, where
transfers around the washouts are being
made. The Texas Central has washouts
between Whitney and Dublin.
The flood conditions in the BRACES VAL
lev continue to grow worse. The river Is
again rising about Waco and the crest of
the food was only a short distance below
that point this morning. The weather
has been fair in the Dallas district all
day. and railroad men hope the worst Is
over. The rains have damaged the cot
ton crop materially. The present crop
promised to be the largest in the history
of the State, but boil worms are develop
ing rapidly and farmers are becoming
apprehensive.

TRIAL OF STRIKERS.
Judge Admits Their Right to Go to
the Postof1ce.

the .Postof1ce.
Charleston, w. Va, July 30.-In the
trial of John Richards and others today,
the defense produced evidence to disprove
the statements of prosecuting witnesses
that the strikers cursed the injunctions,
the courts and the marshals.
Mrs. Alice Snyder, wife of one Of the
defendants. testified today that one of
the guards employed by the Collins Col
liery Company had met her as she was
coming from the postoffice, at Glen Jean
and told her that she could not come to
the postoffice again, and that he had
orders from Mr.. Collins to prevent her
coming there.
Judge Keller leaned from the bench,
and in a deliberate tone, said: Madame,
want you to understand, and those with
you to understand, that no person has a
right to prevent you going to a United
States postoff1ce, 1t matters not upon
whose property 1t is located, and you are
free to go there when you please, and
will protect you In that right"
The guard was armed with a Winches-
ter. she said, and was employed by the
Collins Colliery Company. upon whose
property the postofflce is located.
The defense put several witnesses on
the stand to prove the conduct of Dep
uty United States Marshal Cunningham
and the guards who were working under
him. Cunningham was playing the part
of a Federal officer part Of the time and
as captain of the armed guards the bal
ance of the time, according to these wit
nesses.
Mrs lola Stahl testified that Cunning
ham came to her house and used insult
ing language to her. Others testified to
tbs frequency with which Cunningham
drew his weapon and cursed them. Judge
Keller did not admit this testimony in
extenuation of the action Of the defend
ants on trial.. y. = 4
