ROOSEVELT SILENT IN 1912
Letter Indicates that the Colonel Will
Keep Out of Next Presidential
Campaign.

Richmond, Va.-The part which
former President Roosevelt will take
in the coming national campaign
probably will be one of silence. This
became publicly known through a let
ter which he wrote to Congressman J.
Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania, pres
ident of the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways association, declining an invita-
ton to address the convention. Col
onel Roosevelt emphatically declared:
From now on l wish to avoid max
ing any speech / possibly can avoid"
This is interpreted to mean that Mr..
Roosevelt wished to refrain from Civ
ing utterance to any opinions which
possibly might be misconstrued in con-
nection with the presidential cam
paign.

CHINESE CRUSHED BY REBELS
Imperial Troops, Defeated in Two-Day
Battle Before Hankow, Are In
Rapid Retreat.

Peking.-Imperial troops sent to
the relief of Hankow have been de-
feated by the revolutionists in two
days battle outside the city.
The warship feet under Admiral
Sahchen Ping was forced to drop sew
eral miles down the river under
heavy fire from the shore batteries.
One Chinese gunboat was sunk by
it's crew which deserted to the rebels.
There is CONSERVATION in the capital
at this reverse, the most serious since
the revolution started. A wireless
message from Hankow confirms the
reports of the imperialists' retreat.
Dispatches from Kiu-Kiang are of the
same tenor, adding that the Chinese
gunboats are retreating to that place.
The conduct of the rebels at Hankow
is reported to be exemplary. Martial
law is being enforced.
When the fighting ceased on the
first day the revolutionists took up a
strong position. achievements for
the rebels arrived and on the morn
ing following a force fully 5000 strong
commenced an advance on the i'm
perial encampment.
The advance was conducted eau
tiously. On the march the rebels
burned hundreds of huts, fearing am
bush.
The loyalist infantry made faint
show of resistance, while the shots
from the imperial warships failed to
dislodge a rebel field gun which had
been made the special object of at
tack.
When the rebel scouts reached the
imperial camp they found it desert
ed, and the main body entered, wav-
ing banners and shouting in jubila-
ton. The loyalists' evacuation was SO
hurried that they left many tents and
six carloads of baggage and ammuni-
ton.
A rumor is current that the rebels
have cut the railroad behind imperial
troops and captured Siaokan, 80 miles
north of Hankow.
Another native report is that the
rebels hold the railway tunnel at
Sinyangchow, in the southern part of
Ho-Nan province
Consular dispatches from Yun-Nan
report persistent rumors of disaffec-
ton among the imperial soldiers
A Mohammedan rebellion is report
ed imminent in Kan-Su, the scene of
the Mohammedan revolt of 1S5S-75.

POSSE SEEKS EX-CONVICT
Marzyek Killed Ia Persons In
Three States.

Ellsworth, Kan.-The theory that
one man slew IA persons in three
states within six weeks received sup,
port in a statement made by Mrs. Min
ME Vopat, divorced wife of Charles
Marzyek.
Marzyek, who is an ex-convict, is
sought by the county authorities in
connection with the murder of five
members of the William Snowman
family here.
Mrs. Vopat said Marzyek has been
in Colorado Springs, where the Wayne
and Burnham families, six persons.
six weeks ago were killed, and is ac-
quainted in Monmouth, ILL.,, where Will
liam e. Dawson and his wife and
daughter were slain recently.
AS a possible connection between
the Ellsworth and other tragedies.
Mrs. Vopat said her former husband
was convicted of forgery in Colorado
Springs few months ago. She said
it was not improbable that he had
been in Monmouth lately.

ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

IT, the undersigned, cannot give

my ankle three different times, paying
little or no attention to it, when five

my left ankle. l was worried and sent
for a doctor. He said it was eczema.
He drew small bone from the ankle
about the size of match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
TO about the size of an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc
tors never could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all

"My husband and my sons were up
night and day wheeling me from one
room to another in the hope of giving
me some relief. I would sit for hours
at time in front of the fireplace
hoping for daybreak. The pain was
so intense I was almost crazy, in fact,
would lose my reason for hours at
time. One day a friend of mine
dropped in to see me. No more had

claimed: Mrs. Finnegan, why in the
world don't you try the Cuticura Rem

give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura

A woman paused the other day on
her way to Reno-regarded by those
journeying thither as the fount of eter-
nal happiness-and explained that the
American husband was a bore and the
educated EngIishman was not. There
is a certain amount of truth in what
she says. When relieved of the neces-
sity of working for the family living
the Briton has time to cultivate those
graces of life which appeal SO strongly
to the feminine heart, says the New
York Herald But he who must work
for every dollar that his wife spends
has no more time to devote to social
matters than If he were trying to fill
sieve with water. But is it not
cruel to call such a man bore and to
intimate that because he is necessar-
lily much away from home he has
transferred his affections to some
other quarter? If the well connected
Englishman could unite with his dis
tinguished bearing, capacity for spend
ing and suaVity of manner the money
making gifts of the American we
should have a husband of the sort cal
culated to rob Reno of most of its bus
mess.

Nelson was dismissed after the

had admitted that he had formed an
opinion of the guilt or innocence OF
the prisoner and that it would take
mighty strong evidence to shake
him.
Judge Bordwen questioned Nelson
and he admitted he had obtained in
