take the bit in his teeth and inaugu- rate an active and aggressive cam- paign.
 From Ohio the secretary will blaze a campaign trail to the Pacific coast, sailing from Seattle for the Philip pines early in September. Material changes have been made in the itin- erary, providing for many additional stops where political speeches will be made. Leaving Ohio, he will go to Kentucky, speaking probably at Louisville on August P. The new state of Oklahoma will next be visit ed, Oklahoma City having been se- i lected as the place and August 24 as , the date of Taft's appearance X strong Taft sentiment is said to exist ,, in the territories and the secretary will attempt to fan this into flames, as we'll as to give aid and comfort to the Republicans in their struggle with the victorious Democrats in the Sep- tember elections. On August 26 Sec. retary Taft will attempt to show" the people of Joplin, Mo-, that he is the logical candidate for the Repub. lican presidential nomination, and on the following day is scheduled to re- .,eat the operation at Springfield. Mo. On August 29 Secretary Taft will beard the lion in his den by visiting
 Bryans home town, Lincoln, Neb. Denver is next on the schedule, August 30. Portland will be visit ed September 6, Tacoma on Septam
 Der T. and the secretary will complat his political tour in Seattle on Sep tember 9, when he will sail for the Philippines.
 It is stated by the Taft advisers in
 Washington that it will be his pur- pose during the coming trip to dis
 cuss and present various issues from his own point of view, in order to
 meet the. criticism that in the past he has merely basked in the ref1ecle,i
 light of President Roosevelt. Much
 is hoped from this tour by the friends
 of Taft, who believe that it will re-
 suit in placing him in the forefr mt
 of candidates for the nomination.

OUANTRELL
STILL LIVING.
Noted Guerrilla Leader Said to
Have Been Discovered in
Vancouver Island.

New Orleans, Aug. 9.-Accord-
ing to stories published at Victo-
ria, B. c., William Quantrell,
leader Of Quantrell's guerrillas
during the civil war, and who,
according to history, died in a
hospital at Louisville, KY, after
a fight with the Michigan caval-
ry, is living on the northwest
coast of Vancouver island under
the name Of John Sharp. Ac-
cording to these stories Sharp,
when accused of being Quantrell,
said: II might as well admit it,
it seems that | cannot hide the
fact
Why he should have cared to
hide the fact is not explained in
any of the stories. Quantrell
is supposed to have been recog-
nized by a man who hadn't seen
him since the fight with the
Michigan cavalry and then only
once. He is described as being
over 70 years. old why and gray.

A Card.

To the Voters Of Lee County:
| try to thank you for your
kindness and nice vote you gave
me on the LIST Primary. Now,
friends, | am forced to leave you.
| hope you will except my thanks
and withdrawal and not think
hard Of me for my health give
down on me and | don't know
what the result may be-.
My doctor says my disease is of
a pulmonary nature. Now, as it
is impossible for me to be out
any more and the chances would
be supposed to be against me,
and if l should be elected the
probability is that you would
have to elect another man. Now
l hope you will except this in
good faith.
Again thanking you for all
past favors, | remain under OBJ
legations to you at all times.
Yours Frat,

Another Pettus Story Which the
Venerable Statesman Al
ways Denied.

Another of the stories told
about Edmund Winston Pettus:
late United States senator from
Alabama, which the venerable
statesman and veteran soldieral
ways denied, but which never
theless, was repeated again ane
again and rehashed in more ex.
aggerated fashion than ever af-
ter his death, was connected with
how Pettus came to stand as 9
candidate for the United States
senate.
1t was told that, although he
was regarded by his party and
people eminently capable of hold
ing any Office, he had but the sole
ambition to go on the supreme
bench when opportunity should
offer. So when Cleveland be-
came the first Democratic presi-
dent, when Pettus was cherish
ing this aspiration, he made
known his wish to Senator Pugh,
who was a member of the senate
judiciary committee. Pugh, it
was related, advised President
Cleveland that the only objec-
ton to Pettus was that he was
too old to go on the bench. Then,
hearing of this, it is further re-
lated that Pettus either told
Pugh, or sent him word, that
while he might be too old to be a
Judge he was not too old to be a
senator. And, thereupon, the
story goes, Pettus went to work
and beat Pugh out of his seat in
the senate.
Senator Pettus has repeatedly
said that no such thing ever hap
pened. Whether any Of his
friends might have taken it upon
themselves to make the state
ment attributed to him, he never
professed to affirm or deny, but
that it did not originate with him
he always did deny. Pettus and
Pugh were friends to the last of
the latter's life. All three of the
great Alabamians were friends.
AS late as the great debate on the
railroad rate question. Pugh,
Morgan and Pettus were seen in
the senate chamber on several
occasions engaged in friendly
conversation. The character, the
quality, the devotion of these
three men, would make a splen.
did page in the history of the
proudest commonwealth that
ever boosted heroes and states
men.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, April l5.-
The stage running between Malta and
Zortman was held up Saturday night
by a lone bandit, according to a tele-
phone message received here, and a
sum estimated at about SIS, 900 is said
to have been secured. The message
gave no details of the daring robbery
other than that It occurred just north
of Zortman as the stage was entering
the Little Rockies with a consignment
of money to pay the wages Of the
miners at the Zortman mines.
The robber apparently had FIVE or
six hours start of a posse, mounted
upon the fastest horses to be had,
which left Malta Immediately upon
receiving word of the hold-up.
The location is in a particularly
lonely spot in the mountains, afford
ing every opportunity for the shelter

WASTED TO
MERE SKELETON
In Torments a Year and a Half with
Terrible Sores on Face and Body
Hands Tied to Stop Scratching
and Tearing at Flesh But
CURE BY CUTICURA
COMPLETE AND SPEEDY

MY little son, when about a year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. l had a ply
sician treat him, but the sores grew worse.
Then they began to come on his arms,
then on other parts of his body, and
then one came on his chest, worse than
the others. Then called another physi-
clan. Still he grew worse. At the end
of about year and half of suffering
he grew so bad l had to tie his hands
in cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk. My
aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. So great was her faith
in it that she gave me small piece OF
Cuticura Soap to try and little
Cuticura Ointment. / took it home
without any faith, but to please her
tried it, and it seemed to dry up the
sores little. l sent to the drug store
and got cake of Cuticura Soap and q
box of Cuticura Ointment and followed
the directions, and at the end of about
two months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores Of any kind
since. He is now strong and healthy,
and l can sincerely say that only Tor
your most wonderful remedies my pre-
cious child would have died from those
terrible sores. used only one cake OF
Soap and about three boxes Of Ointment.

WILSON IS UP
IN ARMS
SAYS MANUFACTURERS ARE
HooDWINKING PUBLIC. PURE
FOOD GUARANTEE Is
NOT GOVERNMENTS.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-That
some of the prominent manufacturers
of foods and drugs are going to get
into trouble with Uncle Sam, unless
they change their ways and cease
telling the people that the Government
guarantees the purity of their product,
under the pure food law, seems to be
assured, from statements made by
Secretary Wilson today, in the course
of an interview on the problems con-
fronting the Department of Agricul-
ture in the execution of the pure food
law.
The serial number, and the state
ment that the food or drug is 'guaran-
teed under the food and drugs act,
June 30,1906,' does not mean that the
United States Government guarantees
the purity Of the article or guaran-
tees that it is what the label says it
it." remarked Secretary Wilson. "On
the contrary" continued the Secre-
tary, "the statement means that the
of the article guarantees
it to be pure, free from adulteration,
and that he warrants every fact stated
on the label to be true. 1t is the
of the manufacturer, not
the guarantee of the Government"

EARTHQUAKE
IN MEXICO
DOES SERIOUS DAMAGE-HEAvY
LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED.

CITY OF MEXICO, April 15.-Word
from the center of the great destruc-
ton of the earthquake of last night
was first given to this capital by the
Associated Press after repeated trials
made during the last night and this
morning to establish communication
with the stricken districts. AS yet
wires to the section are working bad
ly and no exact estimate of the num-
Der of the dead has been received. 1t
is believed, however, that the total
death list will be large.
The "Banco Naccional" National
Bank of Mexico) has received tele-
gram saying that 500 lives were lost
in the destruction of Chilpancingo and
Chilapa. The telegram adds that both
cities were completely destroyed. In
governmental circles the report is not
credited. The Federal telegraph of
fee here declares that the first and
last report thus far received was that
contained in the Associated Press dis
patch received about noon today 1t
is admitted that both cities were lev
elled to the ground, but it is not
thought that the death list will even
500, owing to the fact
that thehouses are massive affairs built
of stone in order to resist earth
quake shocks.
