A New Preparation.

Chamberlain's Liniment is new
preparation and a good one. It is
especially valuable as a cure for
chronic and muscular rheumatism
and for the relief from pain which
it affords in acute infammatory
rheumatism. Those who have
used it have invariably spoken of
it in the highest terms of praise.
Lame back, lame shoulder and
stiff neck are due to rheumatism of
the muscles, usually brought on by
exposure to cold or damp, and are
quickly cured by applying this
liniment freely and massaging the
affected parts. Soreness of the
muscles, whether induced by vio-
lent exercise or injury, is allayed
by this liniment. For sale at
Forbes Drug Store.

NO TROUBLE THREATENING
Mexico and Guatemala Will Not Come

Mexico and Guatemala Will Not Come
to Blows.
City of Mexico, April 29.-"No trou-
BILE is threatened between Mexico and
Guatemala" declared Minister of For
eign Affairs Mariscal. "The rumors
which have been in circulation for
the past two days had their origin in
a misunderstanding misunderstand-
ing of conditions, which, however,
have been explained satisfactorily"
The misunderstanding referred to
by the foreign minister related to the
reported friction between the Guate-
malan government and the Mexican
charge d'affaires in Guatemala. 1t
had been rumored that many persons
had sought refuge in the Mexican le-
cation and that their protection had
resulted in an overt act. A dispatch
just received, however, states that
there has been no trouble.
"Mexico has never entertained the
idea of intervening in Guatemala"
continued Mr.. Mariscal, "and, so far
