We suppose we are not re-
vealing any trade secret when
we say that many medicines
arc made up on the principle
Of the so-called =" shotgun pre-
scriptions," which were form
erly somewhat in vogue.
The idea of the shotgun pre-
scription was to put in a large
number of different drugs, each
useful for different purposes,
in the hope that some Of them
might hit the case.
Vinol, the medicine we sell
over our name and guarantee,
is not a scattering shotgun
prescription" but goes straight
TO the mark.
1t is the best thing we know
for a rundown condition, for a
liStleSS feeling, nerve troubles,
for lung troubles in fact, it is
a safe, pleasant, reliable tonic
and reconstructor.
1t has cured so many people
right here in town we offer
money back if it fails to benefit.

FORT eLUNDER.

IL ON British soil.
Curious indeed IS an American fort
which was built ON British soil. How
many can guess what fort It IS and
where located? The name is Fort
Montgomery. and the location is ON = n
island near the foot of Lake Champlain,
about ha, mile northeast of Rouses
Point. n. Y.
A short time ago. when travelling IN
that part Of the country. saw this fort
and asked the name Of it. why. that
is Fort Blunder," said my informant
"Did you never hear Of itT' / confessed
ignorance. and be explain01 matters.
1t seems that after the war of 1912
the government Of the United States
became convinced that the entrance to
Lake Champlain should be guarded by
fort strong enough TO engage any
British fleet which might attempt TO
force an entrance TO the lake, and so
Fort Montgomery was constructed at
cost Of nearly 100000. II was an
immense fortihcation for those days
and was arranged for three tiers OF
guns.
just about the time it was completed
the joint surveyors fixing the line be.
tween the United States and Canada
came along and, after doing good bit
OF figuring, announced that Fort Mont
gomery was on Canadian soil The
northern boundary of New York state
was the forty-hfth parallel, and this
fort was several hundred yards over
the line. Work on the fort came to an
immediate standstill. and the matter
was made the subject Of a special
treaty.
1t was decided that in view OF the
fact that the United States had not in
tentionally cncroached on Canadian soil
the forty-fifth parallel should be bent
little out Of its course at this point so
as 20 include the fort That is why
the fort Is called "Fort Blunder.' II

WGOLD NOT HAVE
C0LORED WOMAN
People Of Indianola Would
Not Accept the Presi-
dents Appointee
POsTMISTaESS' LIFE THREATENED

Washington, Jan. 3.-The feature of
the cabinet meeting yesterday was the
decision to close permanently the post
Office at Indianola, Miss, from which
the postmistress, Minnie M. Cox, col
ored, resigned under compulsion few
days ago, since which time the Office
has been closed. The bondsmen have
brought the matter to the attention OF
the authorities here, with the view to
being relieved Of the responsibility of
the accumulated mail. The postmas-
ter general has had thorough investi-
cation made and has become satisfied
that the woman was obliged to resign
under duress-in fact, that her life
was endangered. The Office will not
be reponed until the PEOPLE in the dis
trict are ready to accept this woman
as their postmaster.
II was decided to issue a formal
statement concerning the lndianola
case. Secretary Cortelyou, for the
president, made public the following:
"The postmaster at Indianola. Miss,
is Mrs. Minnie M. Cox, colored WON
an. She served three years as postmas-
ter under President Harrison. When
President Mckinley came in she was
again appointed, in 1897, nearly six
years ago. Her character and stand
ing in the community are endorsed by
the best and most reputable people in
the town Among those on her bond is
the present Democratic state senator
from the district, together with the
leading banker of Indianola and an ex-
state senator from the district, also a
Democrat. The postmaster and her
husband own from $4,000 to $4,000
worth Of property in Sunhower coun.
ty. The reports of postofIice inspectors
who have Investigated the office from
time TO time show that she has given
the utmost satisfaction to all the pa.
irons of the Office, that she is at all
i. times courteous, faithful, competent
Aand honest in the discharge OF her
duties.
nsThe postmaster recently forwarded
her resignation, to take effect January
II, but the report of inspectors and in.
formation received from various rep
utable white citizens OF the town and
neignborhood show that the resigna
ton was forced by a brutal and law
less element purely upon the ground Of
her color and was obtained under
terror OF threats of physical violence
The mayor of the town and the sheriff
Of the county both told the postoficJ
inspector that If she refused TO resigr
they could not be answerable for hel
safety, although at the same time moi
one word was said against her man
agement of the office. On January
the bondsmen of the postmaster tele
graphed that the postoffice was closed
that the postmaster claimed that he
resignation was in the PRESIDENT
hands, to take effect January 1, an,
that there had been no advice OF thu
appointment of her successor.
"By direction Of the president tn,
following telegram was sent to tn,
bondsmen: The postmaster's resigna
tion has been received, but not accept
ed. In view of the fact that the oficl
at Indianola is closed. all mail ad
dressed to that ONCE will be forwarde,

che papers in the case have beel
sent to the attorney general for &C
