CONSUL MENACED.
CaIdera. at Mandgua, Seeks
Refuge From Zelaya.
GOES TO AMERICAN LEGATION.
Official Dispatches Say That Mica.
raguan Lawyers Maintain That
Execution of Cannon and
Groce Was Illegal.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Heury CAL
dera, the American consul at Mana
qua. Nicaragua, has been twice men,
aced by President Zelaya, and he has
been authorized by the state depart
ment to move his effects into the
American legation at Managua, where
he will be better protected from dan
ger. This information came in dis
patches bearing upon the general sit
hation In Nicaragua made public at
the state department.
From Consul Caldera the informa-
tion has been obtained that Leroy
Cannon was captured on Oct. 81 and
Leonard Groce on Nov. 2. They were
executed on Nov. IL, and no news
reached the department until Nov. II.
Members Of the Red Cross arriving
from Castillo state that Groce and
Cannon were captured after a battle
while lost on the banks Of the San
Juan river and that the ships captain
called them, promising not to harm
them. These allegations were in part
confirmed by the Nicaraguan press,
which stated that the execution was
for an attempt to blow up steamships.
The execution caused general indig-
mander in chief. Minister General
Irias declares that he interceded on
the ground of humanity, but his pri-
vate advices to President Zelaya are
not known. Nicaraguan lawyers main
! tain that the execution was unla wful.
The Nicaraguan captain is in prison
for having refused to carry out the
\ sentence.
The congress will assemble tomor-
row, and there are rumors that Pres
ident Zelaya will retire.
On Nov. "a placards appeared on
walls in Managua favoring a revolu-
tion and denouncing President Zela-
va. One Of the other consuls had in
formation that President Zelaya was
prepared to escape by night. Anarchy
may ensue.
Thomas T. Moffatt, the American
consul at Bluefields, where the head
quarters of the provisional govern
ment is located, reports that Groce
and Cannon were q colonel and lieu
tenant colonel of engineers respective
ly and both regularly enlisted in the
revolutionary force under the com.
mand Of General Chamorro.
The highest revolutionary leaders de.
clare that Groce, acting in the line OF
the duty of those officers, was with an
outpost Of ten men beyond the camp
Of General Chamorro, and Cannon
with two men, had been sent beyond
to survey a new position.
The outpost was surprised by the
forces Of General Toledo, and both Of
ficers were captured. General Chamor'
70 afterward learned from an officer
of the Zelaya army that both had been
put to death by order of President Ze'
laya, that General Toledo refused to
carry out the order and took them
both to Fort Castillo instead.

President Putting r ) ing Touches
on Interstate Ia d hanses.
Washington, Nov. : IN important
conference was hel % the White
House to put the finlsnlng touches on
the proposed legislation amending the
Interstate commerce act. This propoB-
ed legislation will be submitted to
congress at its approaching session.
The two bills prepared by Attorney
General Wickersham, under the direc-
tion Of the president and in conformi-
ty with the policy outlined by Mr..
Taft in his Des Moines speech, were
up for consideration.
In addition to the president and the
attorney general, the participants In
the conference included Senators Bl-
kins and Cummins and Frank K. Lane,
interstate commerce commissioner.
Secretary Of War Dickinson, Secreta-
ry Of Agriculture Wilson and Frank
B. Kellogg, the trust prosecutor, were
IN the cabinet room at various times
during the conference, but did not par
ticipate in it to any great extent,
The bill which will have the admin
istration support will provide the
changes in the interstate commerce
act which Mr.. Taft has spoken Of In
recent addresses and which were re-
viewed by Attorney General Wicker
sham at Kansas City this month.
That he is still gathering evidence
on the subject was shown when Mr..
Taft received President w. f. Fin
ley, General Counsel Thon and Assist
ant General Counsel Humphreys OF
the Southern railway.
The railway officers talked with the
president particularly about the pro-
posal to clothe the interstate commerce
commission with power to establish
new routes and affording the privilege
to shippers of selecting their own
routes. The railroad men are under
stood to have objected to these propo-
sitions.

A protest was made, however, on
the ground that the American had

Expected to Be Ready For Printer by

Washington, Nov. 80. - President
Taft has begun to dictate his first an
pual message to congress, and unless
something most unexpected interferes
1t should be ready for the public
printer by the last of the week. Even
If the message is in the hands of the
printer this week 1t will take several
days for it to be set, revised and
printed as 1t will go to congress and
the country at large.
Mr.. Taft is a rapid worker, and SO
are the men in the government print
ing office who handle such documents
but 1t seems improbable that it can be
finished more than few days in ad'
vance of the opening of congress.

were those who by their presence
graced the recent Normal exercises.
And we have been comforted to be
told that the crowning glory of the oc-
casion, both as to gown and graceful
ness of carriage rested upon repre-
sentative of Farmville's social circles.

tinuing to have it, Best in churches,

ers shade trees, boys, girls, men, wo-

Death Of a Dear Boy.

Stillman, the two-year-old son of
DR.. and Mrs. c. w. Stone, died at the
home of his parents on Pine street, on
Tuesday, after an illness of two
weeks. The cause of death was
cholera infantum, which was greatly
aggravated by the continuous damp
weather. Simple funeral services
were conducted by Rev. j. E. Boogher
at the house on Wednesday. As the
parents were unable to accompany the
remains, and the grandparents and
relatives could not reach Virginia, it
seemed best to send the little body to
Wisconsin, the home Of the mother
for burial.
Never was a child more loved by
all who knew him. OF such is the
kingdom of Heaven.

Is II An Acoustic failure?

Those of us who joined the great
throngs that crowded the Auditorium
during the recent commencement
exercises of the Normal, were i'm
pressed with the fact that but few of
the speakers could be heard with
comfort, and many Of them not at all.
Even the splendid address of Miss
Bush was well-nigh lost on the even
ing air. and when she was told of il,
expressed great surprise. saying that
not long since she addressed a ST.
Louis audience which numbered many
thousands, and that a friend who oc-
cupied a rear seat heard distinctly
every word she uttered, and on this
occasion she had, as she thought,
spoken as distinctly and as clearly as she
had on the other And what was true
Of this gifted lady was painfully true Of
all the girls and large majority of
the grown up men.
To hear without effort good speech
is great luxury, but to labor to catch
the words as they fall from human
lips is burdensome and distressing.
Having had the privilege of reading
the manuscript of Miss Bush in the
quiet of our own home, we know just
how much that patient and respectful
audience lost in not hearing distinctly
each and every word of it, and as she
caught the ears of five thousand she
should have commanded those of less
than one thousand. 1t is a beautiful
room, but evidently not an acoustic
success.

Interesting Facts Regarding The Lab
OratOry Of the Chamberlain Medi-

A person purchasing a bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy has no
conception Of the magnitude of the
laboratory where this medicine is
manufactured The machinery and
apparatus used in its preparation was
designed especially for the purpose
and cost several thousand dollars.
Europe, South America and the
United States supply the various in
gradients of this remedy, and only
the highest obtainable quality is used.
No pains or expense has been spared
in making it as nearly perfect as posi-
BILE.
A force Of helpers representing
homes enough to populate an average
Iowa town are regularly employed at
the plant of the Chamberlain Medi-
cine Company at Des Mones, Iowa.
Their printing department, which is
usually overlooked in calculating the
tNDtUSt VI DuSlltSo VI Aiio hliAhi
ranks as one of the best in the State,
and is thoroughly equipped with
automatic presses and folders of
the latest improved type. Here
enough print paper is used in one
year to spread over ten farms Of 100
acres each, upon which is printed ad-
vertising matter, directions and labels
in twenty eight different languages
and dialects Enough lumber is used
in making the cases in which the
medicines are shipped to build an
eight room house on each Of these ten
farms every three months. The bot
ties used by this firm every year,
which are filled by machinery at the
rate of 2, 900 per hour, if placed end
