NO EXPERIMENTAL PARCELS POST
Upon a Point of Order Made by Sem
\ ator Bailey the Project Was
Killed.

Washington, D. C.-The plan for
IN experimental parcels post has been
killed. Senator Bailey of Texas made
a point of order against the amend
ment of the postofice bill which au-
thorized the postmaster general be-
ginning April /, 1911, to conduct for
one year an experimental parcels post
system. On Bailey's insistence that
this was new legislation, Vive-Presi-
dent Sherman ruled the point of or
der we'll taken and the amendment
was eliminated from the bill.
March 20 is the date now tentative
ly fixed for the assembling of the ex-
ira session. That the extra ses.
sion is certain, is the firm convic-
tion of all the Republican leaders.
Representative John Dwight, Republi-
can whip of the house, who all along
has insisted that special session
would not be necessary, has capitu-
lated and confessed his belief that it
would be unavoidable.

MUST PASS CANADIAN BILL
Such is the Ultimatum Sent to the
Senate by President
Taft.

Washington, D. C.-President Taft
swung the big stick. Again the story
came to the White house that a
frameup was in progress in the SEN
ate to avoid an extra session by vot-
ing upon the reciprocity agreement
and defeating it.
Those opposed to the Mccall bill
so the president was told, are willing
for reciprocity to come TO vote II
assured in advance that it cannot
pass. There are senators who declare
that enough Democrats can be
pledged to the opposition to carry
this agreement into effect. But snag
has been struck.
The president sent word to the cap
itol that if any evidence of frameup
adverse to reciprocity came to him he
would call an extra session anyway
Mr.. Taft decreed that the senate must
not only vote on the Mccall bill, If
that body wants to prevent special
session, but it must pass it.

IASURRECTOS TAKE GOLD MINE
THE "LUckY TIGER" IN SONORA
SEIZED.
The Property is Owned by Kansas
City Parties Who do Not
Feel Alarmed.

Kansas City, Mo-The Lucky
Tiger gold mine in the state Of
Sonora, Mexico, has been seized by
Mexican insurrectos, according to
telegrams received at the mine offices
here. The Lucky Tiger" mine prac-
tically is owned by Kansas City men,
the telegram telling of the seizure Of
the mine by the revolutionosts con-
veys few details, but the three dis
patches received state that there was
no fight when the mine was taken and
that the property was not molested
The insurrectos took over the govern
ment of the town of Ell Tigre, where
the mine is located.
The directions of the Lucky Tiger
Combination Gold Mining company
met in the company's Office, 1912 Bal
timore avenue, when the kilograms
were received. They announced that
there was no danger to the mine prop
erty, from what the dispatches con-
tanned, and that the stockholders need
not feel alarmed. From the kilograms
it is believed that the mine. under in
surrecto control, is operating just as
it did under the control of the Mexi-
can government,

LORIMER KEEPS HIS SEAT
THE SENATE RETAINS HIM AS A
MEMBER.
At the End of Long and Determined
Filibuster the Vote Stood
40 to 46.

Washington, d. C.-Senator Lori
mer is six votes from being a briber
BY vote of 40 to 46 the United
States senate has decided that the
Illinois man did not buy his seat and
that the members of the Illinois leg
islature who swore they were paid
to vote for him for senator lied.
There were four members absent
when the vote was taken. One oil
these was Lorimer, who left the room
just before the balloting began. A
fifth was present but did not vote.
Had all the absentees been present
and voted against Lorimer he still
would have been seated. The vote
was on a resolution to unseat him.
Negative votes, therefore, were in his
favor and affirmative votes were
against him. Had the four absentees
other than Lorimer voted yes" the
affirmative side would have had only
A votes
Lorimer's 46 votes constitute just
half the normal senate membership
of 92. There are only 81 members at
present because the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Hughes OF
Colorado has not been filled.
Senator Cullom, senior senator
from Illinois, voted for his colleague
In the course of the debate Senator
Bailey of Texas, supporter of Lori
mer, aroused much resentment by
saying that if Lorimer had been elect
ed by dishonest votes the same might
be said of Cullom. Cullom spoke in
his own defense and others defend
ed the good name of the venerable
senator.

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set Of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
admission of the fact.
A case in point is that Of practt
tioner, one of the good old school, who
lives in Texas. His plain, unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
81 had always had an intense preju-
dice, which can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence,
never read line of the many ads OF
Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
"While in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest. healthi-
est little boys l ever saw. 1 ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons.
81 became exceedingly fond Of 1t
and have eaten a package of 1t every
week since, and find it delicious, re-
freshing and Strengthening food, leav-
ing no I'll effects whatever, causing no
eructations with which 1 was for
merly, much troubled), no sense OF
fullness, nausea, nor distress of stom-
ach in any way.
There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does.
'T am stronger and more active
since 1 began the use Of Grape-Nuts
than I have been for 10 years, and
am no longer troubled with nausea
and indigestion" Name given by
Postum Co.. Battle Greek. Mich.

MADE SMALL GAIN LAST MONTH
February Receipts of Government
Were $4,000 in Excess of Expendi-
tures-Less Than Last Year.

Washington, D. C.-Ordinary reve'
nues of the government last month
were S5S,000 in excess Of ordinary dis
bursements, which compare with a
surplus of over a million dollars in
February last year, and a deficiency
of millions in January this year.
Since July l last exenditures have
been 21 millions more than receipts.
In the same time last year there was
a deficiency of As millions.

the fund, only 100000 has been sold
and the money so derived has been
spent. With no money to the credit
of the fund the state auditor is not
even authorized to issue public build
ing warrants, so that all work on
state buildings must come to a stop
shortly unless more of the issue is
sold. State officials say that there is
no market for these warrants at pres
