WELL KNOWN HoRSEMAN
SUElNG SOME OFFICIALS

Declaring that he has been grossly
lbeled, l.. A. Holdrege of 1926 Tenny,
son street, the contractor who has been
accused of graft in connection with the
construction of the Thermopolis, Wyo.,
water works system, has authorized his
attorneys to institute suit for $40, 600
damages from officials who, he de
%clares, are responsible for the charges
contained in a petition for an injunc-
tion tying up further work on the plant,
says the Denver Post.
Application has been made in the dis
trict court at Lander, Wyo., for an in
junction restraining him from proceed
ing further with the work and also re-
straining the town of Tbermopolis from
attempting to dispose of or collect the
interest on $4,000 worth of bonds vot-
ed in 1908 for the construction of a
water works system. The cas- is now
pending in the courts.
1t is charged in the petition that the
town council and the mayor gave the
contract for the construction of the
plant to Contractor Holdrege without
the consent of the people, n when no
bond issue had been voted. 1t is also
claimed that the work is Of the very
poorest quality and does not conform
with the specifications. although they,
too, it is averred, were bod.

Inc President or Foreign Soil.

For the first time in the history OF
the United States the chief executive
has gone beyond the confines of u
country and has set foot on foreign
soil. The Panama canal was the i'm
mediate purpose and motive OF the
visit. In 1853 was the first time the
public had an opportunity to test the
merits of the famous Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, but since then 1t has es-
tablished an acknowledgement of cures
of stomach, liver and bowel disorders.
In January, 1906. the pure food and drug
commissioners passed their famous
pure food bill, and the fact that the Bit
tiers upon analysis was found to be COM
pounded strictly in accordance with its
provisions proves it to be a safe medi-
cine to cure indigestion, dyspepsia,
co~stiveness, biliousness, colds, female
ills or malarial fever. Try a bottle to-
day.

EXCITEMENT ON
 MEXICAN FRONTIER
AT A WORD AN ARMY OF 10000 WOULD MARCH TOWARD THS GUATEMALAN CAPlTAL--SoME STORIES OF OPPRESSION.

Mexico City, June 1o.-Conditions on the Guatemalan frontier were accurately de- picted today by one who has just arrived from that section and who is Mexico s agent for the various Central American republics. This agent, who for political reasons desires that his name be not used, declared that the people on both sides of the line are greatly excited, and that only a word from President Diaz would be necessary cause for an army Of 10000 to attempt to march on the Guate- malan capital. He said that hundreds of Guatemalans were daily crossing the line and coming into Mexican territory. These people, he ayers, relate pltiful and hor- rible stories of oppression, such that If one per cent of them was true, would cause the days of the inquisltion to ap- pear tame by comparison.
 As to the Guatemalan forces, now on the border, he declared that not more than 2000 were visible, but that within a days march of the frontier S60O troops were distributed as follows:
 San Marcos, 2000; Malaeatan, 100; Ques- alaenargo, 5000; Gorchita, 800; Coatepec, 800; Ahutla, 100; Tacoma, 300; Pajal, 300; Catarinas, 200 Ocos, 200; Retapulso, 300.
 Traffic on the border is at a standstill and business conditions are chaotic. The Mexican forces are being daily augment ed. Work is being rushed on the Pan American railway, and the road is now operating trains to Huixitala, seVenty-fiVe miles from the border

Discusses FairvieW.

Now that mail carriers have been ap- pointed and free delivery of mail will begin June 15, Fairview has but to do the needful and two regular deliveries of mail will be given them daily" said Post master J. W. Clayton
 Since the Greater Ensley movement has been started there is little doubt in the i minds of the majority of Ensley's pro- gressve citizens but that the good people of Fairview will easily recognize the fact that it will be decidedly to their best interest to become part of Ensley rather than Birmingham.
 Not only can Uncle Sam serve them better from Ensey, but they can be given better police protection, fire protection and school facilities.
 When one looks back over Ensley's record as to fire losses few towns can show up better and considering the large number of laborers and the influx of all classes of people from different parts of the world. more orderly town can not be found.
 These conditions would not exist had not the city administrations always kept pace with the rapid growth of the town, and never delayed taking such steps as were necessary to keep the eity's affairs up to the highest standard
 ITO see the success of their tireless ef- forts one has but to walk for blocks up one street and down another and notice the handsome residences that were built by Individuals for homes, not for spec ulative purposes, they having been in- spired with the confidence that a town with such wonderful resources and with the number of progressive and broad minded citizens would attract the worlds S attention.
 When Fairview becomes a part of Ems ley the same rapid strides will be made toward adding necessary improvements in | that territory as are now being made throughout the present corporate limits, and no long delays will be necessary"

IRON AND STEEL EXPORTS.
Last Thirty Days Largest In History
 of the Trade.

New York, June 10.-While exports of finished iron and steel last month were the smallest for any one month in the last decade, the imports of raw material were the largest in any thirty days in the history of the trade. The May arrivals at New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore reached a total of nearly 25o,000 tons. Com pared with the previous month the heav- fest increase were made in pig iron, which showed a gain of nearly so per cent,
 The iron ore imports by themselves also reached record breaking figures. In addi- tion to the usual Cuban shipments, heavy cargoes arrived from Russia, North Afri ca, Spain, Greece and Sweden.
 The American demand for pig is so un- precedented that the stocks of material lying in British warehouses are smaller than they have ever been before.

London, June Collectors of patent es- tabiishing a responsible government in the Orange River colby were issued to- night. With a few notifications, the new government follows the lines laid down in the Transvaal. The announcement is generally well received by the members of the house of commons and the threat ened hostile criticisms is not likely to develop. Tn transmitting the letters to the governor of the colony, the Earl of Elgin, secretary of state for the colonies, conveyed King Edwards sincere satisfac- ton with the consummation of the policy announced in the speech from the throne of February 19, 1906, under which free instructions no less ample than those given the Transvaal were granted the Orange River colony. The wording of his majesty's congratulat ations in consid- cred another instance of his diplomatic tact.

It is impossible to accurately estimate how many cases of typhoid fever occur in the United States during a year, as several causes contribute toward making reports unreliable. When the disease is prevalent countless cases that do not prove fatal are reported, through error or because of a desire to avoid an ugly looking health report as "malarial fever' or some other disease For this reason the estimates of the number of deaths and of the cost of treatment can only be based upon the reported cases.
 If every city and town would filter its water and every householder in the coun- try would see to 1t that his water supply was from a pure source typhoid fever would become extinct in the, course of a few years. But it will doubtless be a long time before even all of the larger cities filter their water and in the meantime it behooves each individual to guard so far as possible against drinking water or milk of unquestionabe purity. It should be borne in mind that the germs of typhoid fever float in the smallest quantity of liquid. Lettuce watered from a contam- mated supply and even milk cans washed with impure water have been discovered to be the direct cause of epidemics

tonians were warned to boil their drinking water.
 Concerning the economy of municipal filtration there can be no dispute but building a plant in the average American city takes time. Although a city of SOO 900 inhabitants may be paying out annual ly for treatment of typhoid fever noi less than $1100 900. a $5,0O0,OO0 filter plant is looked upon by the average citizen as unwarrafitable extravaganza, and even after the objections of the majority are overcome, and the work of installing the plant is' undertaken, there are many de- lays and a period of several years elapses before the filter is in operation. In the meantime typhoid fever and other in- testinal troubles take their toll in life and cause continual suffering and expense. Health officers try in vain to impress upon people the danger of drinking what ever liquid quenches their thirst without pausing to consider whether it is contam- mated.
