Six of Chicagos seven runs were

saying the cunningness of the attack
which enabled the Cubs to profit by
those mishaps.

STATE DEPARTMENT
HEARS STORIES OF
MEXICAN BRUTALITY
President Deeply Concerned
: Over Report That Ameri-
can Was Beheaded.

President Taft and the State De-
partment were greatly concerned to-
day over the story of brutalities
against Americans in Mexico related
by Madison II. Ish, one of a number
of refugees who have just reached
Galveston.
The State Department, 1T is known.
has ordered an investigation OF the
statement made by Ish that Mexican
bandits In Salina Cruz beheaded one
American named Wait brutally mis-
treated another American named
John T. McGee, and tortured an
American woman.
The State Department is frankly con-
cerned over these stories as it Is frank
ly admitted that such recitals do not
tend to allay the danger of Intervention,
which both Mr.. Taft and the officials of
avoid.
According to the story told by Mr..
lsh, who was formerly an attorney. the
cruelties inflicted on the Americans were
all to get money. In a deposition made
before Special Deputy Collector OF Gus
toms Rosenthal. Of Galveston. he de-
clares that Wait was beheaded with
machetes in the hands of the brigands.
Dispatches to the State Department
say that the rebels Immediately south
of Mexico City have again become un-
pleasantly active and have captured
several towns.
Beyond announcements as to incidents
which would in any event find their way
into the public prints. however, the
State Department has assumed an omin.
Gus silence on all matters having to dc
with Mexico.
Nothing has been heard of the two
Americans whom the department or
dered General Orozco to release a week
ago. and the Department has apparent
ly heard nothing official on the story
told by Madison II. Ish, one OF a num-
Der of American refugees who have
reached Galveston, Tex, that the MeXl-
can bandits beheaded an American
farmer named Wait in Salina Cruz.
The War Department was informed
today that the rebels have looted the
town of Parral in Chihuahua for the
third time.

til some policeman stopped him.
Policeman Castle testified as to the
statement Mayer had made. and the ie-

said Policeman Castle.
You are right" said Judge Pugh
inspector Gessford should be severely
reprimanded. He had no business tC

his business to sustain the laws and

would take counsel with the local men,
and use his suasion for Clark delegates,

failed to take advantage of tile atti-

HYOMEI, pleasant antiseptic.
-germ-destroying, vaporized air breathed
over the entire membrane of the nose
and throat and deep into the lungs
over the bronchial or air tubes will kill
cataTh germs; soothe and heal the
sore catarrhal spots and stop the dis
charge of mucus in a few days.
Sprays, douches, snuffs or ointments
won't end catarrh because they are not
penetrating enough to get where the
germs are.
So surely does HYOMEI (pronaanced

of the entire nasal tract that Il very
often drives out the catarrhal coaaisiona
in the tubes that connect the eays With

If you have catarrh, dear rtatier, do
not forget that HYOMEI is a y9ylder-
full remedy for catarrh and is free from
cocaine or any other injurious dIt5s.
A complete outfit, which includes a
