REVOLUTION IS
FEARED IN CUBA
Force Of Rebels Busy Looting in Prov

st the Cuban government have occur.
ed in the provinces of Pinar del Rio
and Havana. Sevreal hundred men
are said to have taken part at Pinur
del Rio. Ia Havana the number is
less, perhaps than 100 No trouble is
reported ir other provinces Several
ofsthe known leaders have bensarrest-
ed.
In Pinar del Rio province the revo-
!utionits are decidedly strong. 1t is
now estimated that fully 700 have
taken the field there, but so far they
have contented themselves with ioct-
ing arms and ammunition from the
loyaiIsts, and out one clash with the
loyal troops has taken place.
In that case it was case of one side
being afraid ana the other badly scar
ed.
Volleys were exchanged at long
range, but so far as is known no da M
age resulted.
A force of 500 picked men under
command Of General Rafael Montalbo,
secretary of public works. left here on
a special train tonight. for sPinar del
Rio, where they are to take the field
against the rebels.
There lis a disposition in official
circles Co blame the Americans for the
present trouble. In fact it is openly
asserted that when the liberal leader
General GrHcia, was in the United
States some months ago he was prom
ised aid !, by the capitalists who are
back of the Isle of Pines settlement.
The men are decidedly wroth over
the action of President Palma in iusis-
ting that the isle is Cuban territory
and it is openly asserted would 60 to
any length to overthrow the present
government. Liberals it is asserted
would permit the Isle of Pines to
become American territory. If for no
other reason than capitalists. interested
there have signified desire to con.
tribute literally to their cause.

Wauarville, Aug. 21.-Practical
jokers in the. harvest field on the raDch
IF Jacon Andcver played a dangerous
prank. A harvester known only as
Pete a recent arr ival from Ger
many, had been uriDking heavily ana
was just recovering from spree.
One of the other men thought 1t would
be funny to give Pete Iistle touch of
high life and proceeded in On origins
manner. During the forenoon he
caught ha rmless snake, procured an
empty water jag, rut the snaKe in it
ooIked it ur and the whole crowd
awaited Developments. Soon Pete
desired to Quench his thirst. AID went
to the jug When he removed the cork
and had the jug within few inches of
his mouth he discovered the squirmi1g
reptile trying to escape. This was
more than his overwrcuht nerv es
could stand. With wild scream he
flung the jig away and ran yelling at
sop speed till lost to view. He has not
been seen by anyone 10 the vicinity
since, and it is feared that he is either
lost or has met his death in the Colum
bia river. IL is reported that search is
being made for traces of him
by those responsihls for the fiasco
and that everything po ssible will be
done to find him and bIisg him back.
Pete was about AZ years old, with
brown hair, and about feet Z inches

A largo Contract.

When Dawson Drug Co., the en-
terprising druggists, first offered a
so cent package of DR.. Howard's
specific for the cure of constipation
and dyspepsia at half price, and
guaranteed to return the money if it
did not cure, they thought it prOba-
BILE from their experience with other
medicines for these diseases that
they would have a good many pack
ages returned. But although they
have sold hundreds of bottles not
one has been brought back.
This is so surprising that they
have taken the contract to introduce
DR. Towards specific in at least half
the homes in Dawson, and to do that
they will continue their special half
price Introductory offer.
Dawson Drug Co. wants every per-
son in Dawson who has constipation,
dyspepsia, headaches, or liver trouble
to come to their store or send them %
cents by mail and get 60 doses OF the
best medicine ever made at half the
regular price, with their personal
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure.

NOT A PATENT MEDICINE.
HyOmei a Scientific treatment 10
Catarrh by Breathing Medi-
Gated Air.

Ever since HyOmei has been
known, it's formula has been given to
physicians, druggists, and, in fact,
to all intelligent people who could
appreciate the true merit of the com
bination of healing gums, oils and
balsams of which it is composed.
MANY leading physicians endorse
Hvomci and prescribe it for catarrhal
, troubles. In fact, quite few OF
them use it themselves to break up
cold and prevent pneumonia. Ineey
regard it as a natural, yet sclentiHc
wav of curing catarrh.
Breathed through the pocket IN
haler that comes with every Outht
Hv0mei DESTROYS all catarrhal germs
in the air-passages Of the throat and
nose, sOothes and heals the lrrltated
mucous membrane and e1fectualIy
drives from the system all traces OF
catarrhal poison.
No one should cOnfOund HyOmel
with the patent medicines that are
advertised as catarrh cures. 1t is
as superior to them all as the dla-
mOnd is more valuable than cheap
The complete Hyomei outfit, con
sisting of neat pocket inhaler, a
medicine dropper and bottle of
HyOmei, costs but 81, and extra bot
ties can he obtained for 80 cents,
making it the most economical method
of curing catarrh, as we'll as the most
reliable.
The Dawson Drug Co. have sold a
great many Hyomei outfits and have
seen such remarkable results from its
use that they sell it under an abso-
lutte guarantee that it costs nothing
unless ii cures.

COTTON MILLS AND RATES
Alabama Railroad Commission SHOWS
How the Southern Mills Are
Protected.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Mar. 24th'-
Alabama's railroad commission mas
declined to change the rates on cotton
to mills in this state. Col. Conner, a
candidate for governor and the owner
of a large mill, wanted the rates on cot
ton reduced to the mills, but ma
ioritv of the railroad commission dld
not agree with him.
The commission held that the cot
ton mills are highly prosperous now
that the southern mills can bring IN
their raw material and ship the I'm
isbed goods to New England for a
less rate than the New England mills
can get the raw cotton from the south.
The commission goes on to say:
"Another advantage enjoyed by the
Alabama product is that the rate on
this class of goods from the east back
TO the markets Of this state is higher
than from points in this state to the
east. thus protecting the Alabama
nroduct in its own territory. In a
word. the rate is so adjusted that the
Alabama product can compete in the
east and the west with the product OF
the eastern mills, and is secure in its
home market from foreign competi-
ton"
The textile directory for 1908 shows
that there were in Alabama fifty cot
ton mills, an increase OF about 81
per cent over the number in 1900. In
South Carolina the increase was
about so per cenl, in North Carolina
and Tennessee about 80 per cent, in
Georgia upward of 80 per cent.
1--WE further find from this lnvestl-
cation that reasonable, and IN many
instances very low, rates are made
from points in Alabama to mills with
out the state. The mills in Alabama
bv no means consume the entire pro-
duct of the state, and this adjustment
of rates to foreign mills is undOubted-
w in the interest of the cotton pro-
ducer in Alabama, as it gives him
more markets in which to sell the eX-
cess of his product over the amount
consumed by the Alabama mills. and
places him nearer the Liverpool or
eastern base at reasonable rate.
1t is to be conceded that the value
of cotton is what it is worth in Llv-
erpool and the eastern markets, less
the cost of getting it there, and so far
as the producer is concerned his IN
terest is best conserved by the best
reasonable rate which puts his pro
duct nearest the Liverpool or eastern
markets.
IAN adjustment which considers
only local rates would inevitably
tend to confine the producer to the
Alabama market alone, and this
would obviously be to his great dis
advantage"
