HAS SENT WORD HE WILL CON-
sIDER MATTER AFTER
JAUREZ BATTLE.
JAUREz READY FOR The FIGHT
Madero Said to Have Large Army
Ei Pasoans Looking at Maneuvers
Through Glasses.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Ell Paso, Tex, April 20.-Francisco
l. Madero, Jr., has refused absolutely
to grant an armistice, as suggested by
Dr. Gomez, his confidential agent at
Washington. He sent word he would
talk about an armistice after the bat
tie at Jaurez and then only.
Jaurez is we'll prepared for the ex-
pected attack of Madero's army, which
was yesterday detrained at Bauche,
twelve miles south of Jaurez. AT
Bauche the rebels have trains under
steam for the hasty retreat should the
attack fail. Madero has nearly two
thousand men. The insurrectos, it is
believed must attack soon after the
expiration of the twenty-four hours
respite given in their demand for the
surrender of Jaurez last night, as they
are said to be out of food.
Battles imagined.
FL Pasoans, with nothing else to do
spent most of yesterday on top of the
tall buildings with field glasses and
every time a whirlwind carried the
! dust skyward on Mexican soil they
called down to friends that the battle
had begun. They could even point
out the glitter of bayonets and sabres
and saw everything pertaining to a
battle except the bullets. Still Jaurez
ate its three meals undismayed and
not a shot was fired except some prac-
tice shots by soldiers in the trenches.
The town is now fortified inside
and outside. Stretching around the
city are trenches, the most important
near heeeemetery In some of these
are masked batteries commanding the
approaches.

ing the cid mansion in the center of

"To the Voters of Forrest County:

SENATOR percy
IS VERY ACTIVE
Will Spend at Least Another Week in
the State Making Campaign
Speeches.

Jackson, Miss, April 20.-United
States Senator Leroy Percy is max
ing splendid progress in all portions
of the state that he has thus far visit
ed in his campaign for reelection, ac-
cording to advices being received by
his campaign managers at the Percy
headquarters in this city.
Senator Percy has arranged a pair
with a Republican senator in Wash
ington to accommodate any matters
of importance that may be taken up
by the national legislature during his
absence from Washington, and will
thereby be enabled to spend at least
another week in Mississippi in the in
terests of his candidacy. Whether
Senator Percy will feel justified in re-
naming away from the Washington
capitol longer than that is a matter Of
deep consideration, but in the view OF
the possibility that no important meas
ures will come up for final considera-
tion before the first of May, it is likely
that he will remain out for a few days
after that date.
Senator Percy spoke at Meridian
this evening, and will be in Vicksburg
tonight and Clinton, in Kinds county,
on Friday night of this week, leaving
Jackson early Saturday morning for
Crystal Springs, where he is sched-
uled to speak at two o'clock Saturday
afternoon.

Washington, April 20.-With the
general debate still in progress and a
score of amendments ready to be Of
fered, it is apparent today that the
democratic majority in the House has
stiff fight ahead of it before the Ca
madam Reciprocity bill can be brought
to vote. There is not the slightest
doubt about the bills passing, but the
opponents threaten to resort to OBJ
structive tactics and demand tedious
roll calls on all the amendments.

The disputatious person never makes
a good friend. In friendship, men
look Tor peace and concord and some
measure of content. Theirs are
enough battles to fight outside. enough
Earring aud jostling In the street.
enough disputing In the market place.
enough discord in the workaday
world, without having to look for con-
tention in the realm of the inner life
also. There. If anywhere, We ask for
an end of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart. and the peace
of the sanctuary should brood over 1t.
Its chiefest glory is that the dust and
noise of contest are excluded.-Hugh

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio. In 1882. I became adnicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the afliction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face. the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open. and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn. and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open.
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another. back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin. and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be a solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or i've years.
without getting any better. and in fact
got worse all the time. SO much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, l doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part OF the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided ITO try
Cuticura Remedies, which 1 did. TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent. applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In very short time / began to

well again. and have not had a re-
curTence Of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. l have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since. and have great faith In
them as remedies for skin diseases.
