today told Of Congressman Creiger of
Oklahoma making what he consider

for $1,000. Creiger had testified that

testified that he was In Creiger's Of

Creiger suggested that he needed

Creiger was to testify for Gore and
Gore was to support Creiger for con-

Senator Gore virtually admitted that

CANNOT EAT
AFTER LONG FAST
Tho Only Nourishment Girl Can Get
Is BY Being Rubbed Wiki
Oil

ELGIN, Ill. Aug. 10.-After fasting
twenty-eight days in an effort to ov-
ercome minor digestive troubles,
Miss Ruby Dale, a music teacher,
lies at the point of death. She is un-
able to take any nourishment.
The perusal of books on health and
hygiene caused Miss Dale to try fast
ing. The theory followed by Miss
Dale is that If anyone has any trou-
BILE with the digestive system, the
only way to relieve the trouble is to
fast until there is craving for food.
1t was only after twenty-five days
without eating that she felt the crav-
ing for food.
When she tried to eat she discov-
cred her stomach, long unaccustomed
to food, could not assimilate what
she tried to take into her system.
The only way in which nourishment
can be given Is by rubbing oil into
her body.

Minnesota Bankers Association is
Not Satisfied With the
System.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Aug. 10
The Minnesota Bankers Association
will go before the next legislature
and ask the appointment of paid
state commission to investigate edu-
cational conditions in Minnesota. The
authoritative statement that this will
be done foreshadows a session in
which the question of education and a
discussion of the disposition of the
S14,OO0,O0o so expended annually in
Minnesota will be feature.
The system of education now in
vogue in the state will be attacked.
"We believe that the present sys-
tenn is not bringing returns for the
money expended" said Joseph Chap
man, Jr. TOO much attention is be-
ing given, we believe, to the purely
intellectual and not enough to the
practical side. We are, in fact, turn
ing out educated loafers."

Upon.
ACTING BADLY
Anyone Can See This Through
Piece Of Smoked Glass If They
Have Got Good
Eyesight.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1o.-Another Fl.
gantic spot has developed on the sun,
according to Rev. Irl R. Hicks, that
makes all former spots of recent date
look like cabbage patches. Mr.. Hicks
says the spot looks like volcano
big enough to swallow the earth. He
says it is at least 10000 miles In dia-
meter and is the cleanest cut spot ne
has seen in a year.
The sun was acting badly yester-
day. Mr.. Hicks says, and he determin-
ed to find out what was the matter
with it. When he reached home he
hurried to his observatory and took a
half-hour observation He found the
spot to be SO big it was visible to the
naked eye-that is, naked except Tor
a protector.
Through the telescope it was so
plain that the curves of its edges
could be made out. There is appar-
| entity great flame boiling from the
edges, supposedly similar to the erup-
tion of an ordinary terrestrial vol
cano. Outside the edges of the main
spot and $4,000 miles beyond is a
| large devastated area, supposedly
caused by spouting lava or whatever
the sun erupts from its volcanoes.
Mr. Hicks says the spot appears to
be two days old, and will probably
/ be visible for several days. Any one
with strong pair of eyes will be
able to see the spot today through a
smoked glass or an ordinary field
glass.

qua, has protested to the Madriz fac
tion against the recent treatment of
Alfred Scott an American citizen, re-
siding at Matagalpa. July 27 last

his property, appropriated his provi-

lean cattle estate in Chontales.
Mr.. Olivares warned the Madriz fac
tion that the United States govern
ment will hold it responsible for the
protection of American life and prop
erty in the territory under its con-
troll
Extended reports to the State De-
partment would seem to indicate that
the situation Of the Madriz govern
ment is precarious. Monetary ex-
change has risen to 1920 per cent.

| Hornets Cargo Safe.
| NEW ORLEANS, LA, August To-
| A cablegram was received in New Or
leans from Bluefelds, Nicaragua an
nouncing the safe arrival at that place
of the former gunboat, Hornet, which
sailed from New Orleans last week,
with a cargo Of arms and ammuni-
| tion for the Nicaraguan revolutionists.
Considerable apprehension existed
here concerning the fate of the Hor-
net, as it was known that the Nicar-
aguan gunboat, Venus, was waiting in
/ the Caribbean Sea to intercept the
vessel, and the owners of the Hornet
The delivery of the Hornets cargo
to the Estrada forces strengthens the
insurgents materially.
The steamer Fjell which arrived IN
| New Orleans from Porto Rico Cortez
reported that she passed the Bonilla
revolutionary fotilla at Three Points
near the Honduran- Guatemalan bound
ary. Bonilla had seven vessels in his
fleet and all Of them were crowded
4 with men. Machine guns, manned by
! American gunners, were mounted or

4 presented a formidable appearance
Bonilla was in personal command Of
the fleet. The revolutionary expedi

and it is supposed that Bonilla intend
ed to attack that place The Fjel

great uproar on account of the expect
ed attack.
i 1t was reported in New Orleans las
night that Ceiba, Honduras, had fall
en- into the hands of the revolution
lists under command Of General Lee

report is erroneous, for the reason
that a cablegram was received from
Ceiba announcing the sailing Of {
