In the group might have been seen

Truxton King picked himself up
from the street, dazed, bewildered, but
unhurt. The revolutionists had begun
the assault on the paralyzed minions
of the government.
He looked back toward the CORY en-

on high. Ahead was mass of car
riages, filed with the white faced, pal

From somewhere near the spot where
Olga Platanova fell came harsh, pen

street and ran toward the carriages,
shouting with all his strength:

The boy was standing on seat on the

Truxton's straining eyes caught sight
Of the figure in gray that struggled
forward In response to the cries and
the extended hand.
AUNT Lorraine. Aunt Lorainew He
now heard the name the boy cried
with all his little heart.
Two officers struck at the uncouth,
desperate American as he lifted the
girl from the ground and deliberately
tossed her into the coach,
"Turn back" he shouted. A horse
man rode him down. He looked up as
the plunging animals hoofs clattered

Five minutes later the farmer, over

The astonished beasts tore down the

seemed some prospect of getting a

FOR CONSTIPATION
A Medicine That Does Not Cost Any
thing Unless 1t Gives Satisfac-
tory Relief.

If you suffer from constipation in
any form whatever, acute or chronic
we will guarantee to supply YOU
medicine that we honestly believe
will effect permanent relief if taken
with regularity and according to
directions for a reasonable length OF
time. Should the medicine fail to
benefit you to your entire satisfac-
tion we promise that II shall cost
YOU nothing.
No other remedy can &C compared
With Rexall Orderlies for the easv,
pleasant and successful treatment Of
constipation. The active medicinal
ingredient of this remedy, which is
odorless, tasteless and colorless, is
an entirely new discovery Com
binned with other valuable ingredi-
ents, it forms a preparation which
is Incompatible as a perfect bowel
regulator, intestine inYigorator AMI
strengthener. ReXall Orderlies are
eaton like candy, and are notap'e
for tnelr gentle and agreeable nc
ton. They do not cause gripping or
Pny disagreeable effect or inconven-
ience, and may be taken at any
time, day or night
We particularly recommend Rex-
all Orderlies for children and for
delicate or aged persons, because
they do not contain anything injur-
ious. Unlike other preparations,
they do not create a habit, but in
stead they overcome the habits ac-
quired through the use OF ordinary
laxatives, carthartics, and harsh
physic. and remove the causes Of
constipation or irregular bowel ac-
ton that are not of surgical varie-
ty.
We want you to try ReXall orde--
les at our risk. We know of moth
ing that will do you so much gOoi.
They are prepared in tablet form in
two sizes: SO tablets 25 cents, and
II tablets 10 cents. Remember you

PLANS FOR SPEEDY CONSTRUC-

HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

Bringing the money to construct
an up-to-date interurban trolley line
from Grants Pass to Ashland, John
R. Allen, builder of the Pacific &
Eastern railroad, has ret rned from
New York City to complete details
for the speedy construction of the
electric road He also announces
that the work of constructing the
Pacific G. Eastern from Butte Falls
eastward over the Cascades will be
pushed with the same rapidity which
has characterized the construction
of the line. Mr.. Allen will remain
a month or so here, then go to New
York for a brief trip, returning to
make the Snowy Butte orchard his
summer home
'The proposed interurban trolley
line has been entirely financed"
said Mr.. Allen, "and the money for
building it is ready. Construction
work will be started as soon as the
city of Ashland grants a franchise
The people of Ashland, by vote of
two to one, amended the city char
