rms telegram was preceded by one
from United States Consul Moffat at
Bluel1elds, which indicated that n des-
peratc situation existed among the
prisoners, which called for Immediate
action. To this Acting Secretary Win
throp replied by sending the following
instruction to Captain ShipIey via
navy wireless station at Colon:
For Shipley. Des Moines:

Cross will meet expenses"
A dispatch from Captain Shipley dat
ed this morning, shows that he is
promptly meeting the situation by
minimizing the danger from epidemic
through cleaning the town and segre-
eating the soldiers at a point outside
the city. Soup kitchens for feeding the
people have been established under the
superintendence of Commander Nib
lack, who is given credit in the tel
egrarl for the suggestion. This course
is made necessary from the fact that
proper food supplies cannot be had in
Bluefields.

a Sign of Advanced Age.
A bald headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with

Almost 65 per cent of bald headed
people may regain a good head of
healthy hair if they will follow our ad
vice and accept our offer We have a
remedy that we positively guarantee
to grow hair on any head, unless the
roots of the hair are entirely dead,
the follicles closed, and the scalp has
become glazed and shiny. We want
people to try this remedy at our risk,
with the distinct understanding that
unless it does exactly what we claim it
will, and gives satisfaction in every re-
spect, we shall make no charge for the
remedy used during the trial.
We know exactly what we are talk
ing about and with this offer back our
statements no one should scoff, doubt
our word or hesitate to put our remedy
to an actual test.
We want everyone in Emporium
who is suffering from any hair or scalp
trouble, dandruff, falling hair or bald

for the remedy for the mere asking
There is no formality expected, and we
exact no obligation from the user what

lead into him from a SO. Cal. Colts Navy,

only about four feet from Logue and
started down the Run. After he empti-

On Wednesday after returning home
he went up the Run and brought in a
large red fox alive, which had got in one

Easy To Mix This.

What will appear very interesting to
many people, here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving
simple prescription, which is said to
be positive remedy for backache or
kidney or bladder arrangement, if
taken before the stage of Bright's dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in n bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at small cost from any good prescrip-
tion pharmacy, or the mixture would
be put up if asked to do so. He fur
ther stated that while this prescription
is often prescribed in rheumatic af11lct-
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be
splendid remedy for kidney and uri-
nary troubles and backache, as it has
a peculiar action upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these most impor-
tant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
ann suffering. Those of our readers
who suffer can make no mistake in
giving it trial.
