Gently arrested in this city on the
charge of living with John Miller, is
still held in the county Jail pending

her mother there. Upon their arrival
at that place Miller then told Delpha

couple arriving there some time ago.
A reward of 5000 is offered by the

city were notified that he was a gun
man and when discovered no chances
will be taken with him.

STUDENTS MUST
TAKE ENGLISH EXAMINATION
Whitman College Faculty Makes New
Ruling for Entrance of Students
to College.

Hereafter all prospective students
expecting to enter Whitman college
will be required by the faculty to take
an examination in English before leav-
ing their home town. If this examina-
ton is found by the college authorities
to be satisfactory, the student will be
required to take an entrance examina-
ton before he will be enrolled as a
student of Whitman with college grade
The preliminary test is given in the
home town so the student may not be
put to the extra expense of coming
to college if he does not wish to take
the entrance examinations.
So far as known this action by the
Whitman college faculty is entirely
unique among educational institutions
in the northwest. 1t is believed among
tive that it will completely overcome
ctarrh in all it's various forms, whether
actue or chronic, that we promise to
return every peny paid us for the med
icine, in every csc where it fails or for
any reason does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try ReXall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where

obligation or risk when you try
Rexall MucO-TOne on our guarantee.
We have ReXall Mucu-TOne in two

ficient TO make a marked impression

terms the disapproval of the United
States of the manner in which Zelaya
has been running his government. The
execution and torture of Cannon and
Groce are first cause for the action
The returning of the passports and
the text of the letter accompanying
them, means a virtual recognition of
the revolutionary government, and the
representatives of Estrada in this city
are highly elated.
The extraordinary feature of the
etter is that it seems to evince an
intention on the part of the United
States to hold President Zelaya per-
sonally responsible for the alleged
torture and execution Of the Ameri-
cans, Cannon and Groce. and ex-
hibits the unique situation of one
government holding the chief execu-
mon malefactor
.Zelaya is branded as violator Of
solemn international conventions, a
disturber of national and internation-
al peace, a tryant whose adminiStra-
ton had been a blot upon the name of
good government.
Revo'utionists Recognized.
Secretary Knox virtually announces
the recognition of the Nicaraguan
revo' utionists, declares it to be the
conviction of the United States that
the revolution represents the senti-
ments of a majority of the Nicara-
guam people, and that there is evil
IDENTIFY no responsible government with
which the United States can deal.
He therefore announces that all par
ties will be held responsible for their
actions as affecting the interests of
Americans and the peace of Central
America.
He further informs Senior Rodri-
guez that, while he has lost his dip
lomatic quality, he may still serve
as an 'unofficiar' channel of COM
munication with the faction which he
is regarded as representing.
This brings the crisis as near to
the status of war as it cou'd be
brought by executive action without
definite declaration by congress,
which will convene next Monday. Mr..
KnoX's letter in al but so many words
makes it pain that the action repre-
sents the wish and attitude of all the
Central American states with the
single exception of Honduras, which
is regarded here as entirely dominated
by Zelaya. Mexico has it's sympathy

REPUBLICANS IN
FACTIONAL FIGHT

South Dakota have been persistently

political reasons, although all of us
profess to be republicans. l have
decided to relieve the president from
further embarrassment incident to the
industry Of the senators from my
home state in demanding my sepa-
ration from the service. 1t is needless
to say that hereafter l shall enjoy a
freedom of expression and action in
public and political affairs which has
been denied me in the past"

his superior officers had declared that
he was equal to the best auditor un-

others had gone So far as to say that

Senator Crawford was particularly
incensed against Mr.. Person on &C
count of incidents involving party po-
l;tical affairs in South Dakota which
eliminated in the campaign of Sena-
tor Crawford to succeed Albert B.
Kittredge. also a republican, whom
Crawford defeated in a primary cleo
ton. Senator Gamble, who had been
at swords points with Mr.. Kittredge
during their service in the senate,
ioined forces with Senator Crawford.
and ever since the advent Of the Taft
administration they have been per-
sistent in importuning President Taft
to put Mr. Person out and appoint in
his place one of their own partisans.
The appointment of Heut-Gov.
Shober is very satisfactory to the
Crawford Gamble republican faction
in South Dakota, fer Mr.. Shober has
been a bitter enemy Of Mr.. Kittredge
and has attacked him numerically in
he columns of his newspapers. One
f the expressions which Mr.. Shober
,pplied t. the Kittredge men was

Six Arrests Will Have Tendency to Break Up the Custom of Moving
 in Front of Car Entrances.

In an effort to keep hotel solicitors from encroaching even to the very entrances of the incoming trains, Act ing Chief Wiley and Officers Chain and Mochier last evening arrested six for trespassing on the property of the Little Rock and Hot Springs Western property.
 Since drumming on the trains has been abolished the hotel solicitors have been the trains on their arrival, which they are not prevented from doing, but are encouraged to do in a proper manner.
 But there are certain lines drawn wherein the solicitors shall remain, so that all of them may be on an equal basis, and that traffic from the car exits will not be congested. The solicitors have been gradually break ing over the line, the officers state, until last night the officers hid down among the vehicles, and when the solicitors had overstepped their rights, made six arrests. The cases will be called in police court this morning and the men charged with trespassing. under the city ordinance.
