Mexican Herald. "Coatzacoal- cos, or Puerto Mexico as it is now known, is growing slowly but surely into most important shipping town, especially on account of its situation as the terminal of the Tehuantepec National railroad. The United States government has at Coatzacoalcos as customs in- spector one of its ablest officers, Howard Elliot, to whom much credit is due for the safe and quick transshipment of goods in bond from Coatzacoalcos to Salina Cruz, which latter place is also growing into a great port and commercial center.
 Mexican Herald: Bishop Fran cisco Orozco y Jimenez, of Chiapas, has resigned and his resignation has been accepted by Monsignor Ro- dolfi, the apostolic delegate. Mon- senor Orozco comes of distin- guished Zamora family and is the youngest bishop in the republic. He was consecrated in Guadalupe in August of 1902 and received his degree as doctor of philosophy whilst studying at the Latin-Amer- ican college in Rome, as we'll as being honored with the title of doctor of theology in his own country.
 Mexican Herald: Work on the extension of the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific, which was be- gun Thursday from the present terminus in Chihuahua through the Sierra Madre, is to be pushed to completion without unnecessary delay. The road will be extended clear to the coast and according to present plans will branch out when within about a hundred miles of the Pacific, one branch going to Guaymas and the other to Agia- bampo. It will thus traverse some of the territory through which the Hartman extension Is being built and will have a connection with the Yaqui river branch of Harri- mans road and the main line south of Guaymas.

high school, most of them at least, are
in regular gymnasium classes and have
become very adept in their work. They
have practiced for sometime on the

Lawrence boys have strengthened their
team in the weak places and when
they come to Topeka they will be con-

played but few games this year and
have made a good showing in each
game.
The Topeka boys will line up as fol-

Series of Lectures.

New York, Feb. 13.-W. H. Mallock
NJ A., the we'll known English writer
on social and economic questions, be-
gan a series of five lectures yesterday
in Columbia university. The lectures
are under the auspices of the National
Civic Federation, and their general
topic is Socialism and the allied social
and economic questions" Yesterday
Mr.. Mallock discussed the popular
theories of socialism. He referred par
tfcularly to the ideas of Karl Marx,
who declared that all wealth is due to
labor and should be enjoyed by labor.
Mr.. Mallock disagreed with Marx in
this. his fundamental belief. He said
that wealth is produced by two kinds
of human effort, labor on the one
hand, and the power of direction on
the other. The speaker will discuss
these two sources of wealth at his lec-
ture tomorrow afternoon.
A large and attentive audience lis
tened to Mr. MaIIock, including Col
umbia students and professors, many
of whom took notes on the discourse.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Numerous COM
plants received by Mayor Dunno and
Chief ofaPolice Collins of offensive ad-
vertising matter issued by the Rex
Bitters company, resulted last night in
the arrest of w. E. Slaughter, presi
dent of the company. who was re-
leased later on a $1,000 bond.
Detectives raided the company's Of
flee early yesterday and pamphlets and
pictures used to advertise the concern
were confiscated. The patrol wagon
was inadequate to carry all the stuff
and three other wagons were called
to the scene. About $4,000 worth of
books and cards were taken.
The arrest was due largely to the
complaints of women and men who
notified Mayor, Dunno of the class of
advertising resorted to by the COM
panY. In some instances pictures of
women thinly clad were printed and
spread broadcast over the city. Liquor
houses and druggists were flooded
with the literature, each card bearing
one of the pictures.

MRs.NELllE MARKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is a source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
cradle herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves. consequently
seven tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, h e
"blues", sleeplesSnesS, and nervous
irritabilitv of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-

your nerves are in shattered con-
