ARM AMERICANS IN MEXICO.
President Taft Sends 1000 Rifles to
Ambassador Wilson.

Washington.-The long anticipated
crisis in the Mexican revolution, so far
as foreigners are concerned, is near at
hand. No attempt is made now by
the United States authorities to con-
ceal the grave concern that is felt in
Washington.
The latest reports from Mexico in.
dicate that the revolutionary move
ment is rapidly gaining strength and
that the Federals are being defeated
in important engagements.
There were shipped from New
York 1000 Krag-Jorgensen rifles and
one million rounds of ammunition to
go to Ambassador Wilson at the City
of Mexico. The rifles came from
Watervliet Arsenal and the ammuni
tion from Frankford Arsenal, and the
weapons and ammunition are to be
distributed by the Ambassador to
Americans in the city.
So critical is the situation in Mexico
that the United States Government
has entered into negotiations with
practically every steamship company
operating vessels in the Eastern coast
trade to transport troops to that coun-
try for the purpose of Intervention.

Tax Title Tangle.

Because the titles to large number of
properties throughout Warren county are
rendered invalid by a decision handed
down by Judge W. D. Hinckley, of this
district, an appeal was taken Thursday
by the county commissioners and the
case will be argued before the Supreme
Court this month. The case is that of @.
A. Swanson versus j. A. Day, and is for
the recovery of lands bought by the latter
at the tressurer's s sale of seated lands.
Judge Hinckley ruled that taxes on
seated lands must be collected under an
act OF 1901 which is by lien filed with the
prothonotary and writ for sheriff sale
issued thereon. For many years Warren
and other counties have been collecting
taxes upon seated lands by treasurer's
sales, as prescribed by an act of 1910.
To ascertain which method is more
largely used, Attorney Johh Siggins,
solicitor for the county commissioners,
has inquired of 40 counties and has re-
ceived - replies. In five the question
was not answered definitely. Sixteen
follow the method prescribed in the act of
1901, and II according to the act OF 1910.
The decision of the Supreme Court will
be of interest in every county in the State.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

In the year 1899, Charles Best of Pol
lock pa, was accidentally shot in the leg
near the ankle. Six inches of the smaller
bone was removed from the leg, leaving
him in a serious condition. Two doctors
insisted on amputating the leg. Mr..
Best said: "No, l will try ASlATIC
BALSAM first" Three bottles healed
the wound entirely in two weeks time.
ASIATIC BALSAM is the wonder of the
age for healing Cuts, Burns, Scalds and
rost.bites and has stood the test for 30
years. Try it for Muscular Soreness or
Stiffened Joints on man or beast; for
horses Sore Shoulders, Sore Backs,
Kicks or Cuts. Progressive Liverymen
and farmers keep Asiatic Balsam on hand
for the many injuries their stock is liable
to. 1t never fails. Try it and be con-
vinced.
Mr.. j. l.. Findley, proprietor OF the
Ford City, Pa, livery stables, says under
date of 1892: 1--WE had lame horse be-
come entirely useless. We tried every
thing under the sun to cure this lameness
and failed; we considered the horse a
total loss. Weislield's Asiatic Balsam was
recommended to us. After using a short
time all lameness disappeared and the
horse was entirely well. ! consider it
my duty to recommend Asiatic Balsam to
all horse owners"
Mr.. Ii. T. Farley, livery and sales
stable owner, Of Kittsnning, X Pa, says:
"After giving your Asatic Balsam trial
| | find it the best remedy for Cuts or
Bruises / have over used. One of my
men while clipping horse had his lip
cut entirely through. We applied the
Balsam which healed the cut almost. i'm
mediately. One of my horses received a
deep cut on his leg, lameing him badly,
A few applications of your Balsam re-
moved the lameness and healed the cut in
a very short time"
Mr.. +. X. Weaver, of West Penn Jnnc-
ton, writes under date of Jan. l, 1899:
II have used Asiatlc Balsam for years
and 1t is the best remedy for cuts, burns
and brusies known. 1t is healing, reiev-
ing the pains without smarting. / have
always kept bottle on hand"

Mr.. b. Steigner, Of Herman, Pa,
writes: my son Christian, aged IL, fell
from a tree, striking on broken bottle,
cutting cash in his foot four inches in
length and to the hone. We used Asiatic
Basam, three bottles OF which healed the
wound sound and we'll in two weeks"
We are placing Asiatic Basam on sale
in all stores. If your dealer does not
have it, ask him to get it, as he will have
a ready sale for it when once used.

Harrisburg.-No time is to be lost
by the state fisheries authorities in be-
ginning study of the fishways in the
dams of rivers in New England states
so that information as to the best way
to proceed in the case of the McCall's
Ferry dam in tho Susquehanna may be
obtained. Commissioner Butler will
visit the regions of Connecticut and
Massachusetts where power dams have
been erected and if possible plan
will be devised this summer
The McCalls Ferry dam has vir.
tually ruined the shad fishing above
that point and the company has Of
fered to assist the state in putting in
fishways which will enable the famous
food fish to get up for the spawning.
1t is thought that by removal of the
fishing limits at the dam considerable
fish can be caught and the renown of
the district for sport will return.

From California.
TAFT, CALIroRNIA, March p, 1912.

TAFT, CALIFORNIA, March 2l, 1912.
DEAR FRIEND:-I have located here and
think that will make this my healquar-
ters for some time as am working for a
contractor at housebuilding and the pros
poets for steady work are very good. Car
penters get $500 for eight hours in town
and have transportation and board paid
when taken out of town.
This town has been in existence only
three years and has population of six or
seven thousand, has good stores three
opera houses and all manner of places of
vice calculated to separate the trough
necks' from their spare cash.
l always had the idea that civilization
ended at the Missouri River, but | know
better now, as the people out here enjoy all
the luXuries of the east, without the dis
comforts. Seems as though nearly every
man owned an auto and they are not afraid
to use them either and no place on the map
looks too far away Tor them TO run to for n
| holiday. Nothing in the stores here seems
any dearer than in the east, except shoes,
and they seem about % per cent higher.
Stopped at Sacramento two days and if l
| had possessed pocket full of the long
green believe me | would be right there
yet, as that valley is as near Paradise as
there is any need to be; green pastures
orange lemon and olive trees, and palms
and roses everywhere. Looked good to me
after travelling $500 miles through contin-
uous snow fields.
Saw all sorts of game on the trip, quail
and prairie hens through the plains and
Rocky Mountain sheep and deer in the
mountains A band of fourteen big horn
stood within $50 feet of the track in the
Royal Gorge, Colorado, and never moved
while the train passed. | tried to get a
snapshot but the train passed before | could
open the window. Buena Vista Lake is
only six miles away. 1t is seventeen miles
| long by from two to three miles wide, and
| | wish YOU could see the ducks geese,
swan, pelican and coots that cover the sur
face of the water. Those pelicans are the
queerest looking birds in the world, cX-
cept on women'S hats, about as big rs a
goose and snow-white, with black wings
and bill longer than that of the editor of
the REPUBLICAN. Had great fun chasing
jackrabbits with pair of greyhounds but
got no kills, as the sage brush grows too
thick for good chaseS, but it tickles me to
see them go. Just pair of legs and ears.
The valley quail are thick as flies in a
kitchen wherever there are orchards and
farms but don't stay on the desert. Saw a
rattler the second day | was here but | saw
him first so mashed his physiognomy.
have not felt homesick for Pennsylya-
mia yet with her snow and ice, but suppose
one breath of the air left would taste good
in month or so. You may mail me a
copy of your illustrious paper so that |
may know what is going on in the old
stamping ground and that may not forget
when the pheasant season is on; also that
may pray for your success. You might
kill few young ones with the aid of my
prayers. Yours, l.. l.. MCCREA.

100000 Miners Are Called Out.

Cleveland, Ohio.-The first step to-
ward stoppage in coal production in
the United States as result OF the
miners wage disputes was taken, when
the union ordered 10000 miners in
the anthracite regions Of Pennsylvan-
ia to quit work.
The suspension was ordered because
of the operators refusal to grant the
union demands for 20 per cent in
creased pay.
The shutting down of the mines,
union officials say, will cause loss in
the coal production of the country OF
7,0S3,OOO tons of anthracite month,
and will entail loss in pay to the
miners Of not less than $S5O,OOO for
every day they remain out
President White of the union said
meeting between the anthracite min
ers and operators had been definitely
settled on.
Settlement of the soft coal workers
trouble was effected after a day and
evening long conference. A sub-com-
mittee, to which the operators and
miners conference had referred a
compromise offer by the miners, r.id
II had agreed to the settlement.
The terms provide for increases in
pay to the miners as follows:
Five cents a ton for mining lump
coal.
Three cents ton for mining all
other coal.
An increase Of 5.26 per cent. for
men paid by the day.
The settlement of the peace terms
is credited to the work of the Illinois
operators and miners. II. n. Taylor,
of the operators, proved himself as
great general as the late Francis X.
Robbins, of Pittsburgh, in his best
days
On the side of the miners John H.
Walker is given the credit for secur-
ing the advance. The other operators
were outgeneraled. The operators OF
the states not represented will accept
the settlement without question.
There will be suspension in the
bituminous fields in all States except
Missouri. Kansas, Arkansas, Texas
and Oklahoma, where the miners have
an agreement to work pending nego-
tiations for a contract. About 100000
union men are benefited.
The suspension in the soft coal
fields as a result will be of short dura-
ton. Railroads and manufacturing in
terests, fearing a strike in the soft
coal fields, have stacked up so that
the short temporary suspension will
have little effect.

shutdown follow:
Number of workers affected. 10000
Women and children affected. 100000
