1t is worse than useless to attempt to
cure constipation with cathartic drugs.
Laxatives or cathartics do much harm.
They cause . reaction, irritate. and weak

ton more chronic. Besides. their use be-
comes a habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by weakness Of
the nerves and muscles Of the large intes-
tine or descending colon. To expect per.
manent relief you must therefore tome up
and strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.

CONTEST CASE
An Interesting Case at Plenty
wood


was tried before u. S. Commits
sioner Albert r. Chapman last
Saturday between Syvert Raaen
and Mary Connolly Falxa, says the
Plentywood Herald.
Going back about two years, II
appears that two poor, young Irish
girls came over from the old coun-
try. They were sisters. Both filed
on homesteads about ten miles
from Plentywood. Annie Connolly
went to work for Peter Marion as
cook, receiving sac per month; the
other Mary, was employed at John
Falxa's ranch to do cooking and
general housework. All earnings
OF these girls were invested for i'm
provements on their homesteads.
Besides, after their work was done
between 7 and 8 in the evening,
several times a week, they could
be seen going TO their claims, and
would return about s o'clock the
next morning in time TO prepare
breakfast.
About six weeks ago these part
les were contested on the grounds
that they had not complied with
the homestead laws.
However, the case against ANNE
Connolly was dismissed on thu day
before the trial when it was learned
that friends had come to her rescue
and secured a competent attorney.
Now, coming to the real case, i,
seems that Mary Connolly was
married to John Falxa Jan. 10,
1911, but that she still kept up heI
homestead duties as formerly. She
and her husband would 60 there
regularly until the 2oth day Of
August 1911, when she was taken
sick, and was advised by Mr..
Steele to remain as close to town
as possible. About November FIRST
a child was born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Falxa, and a contest was filed or
this homestead Nov. 20, at time
when It was common knowledge
in this vicinity, that the lady wa:
very sick in bed, having been un
der the care OF three doctors.
The case was tried all day be
tore Commissioners Chapman. Jan
AZ. Attorney ]. ]. Gunther repre-
senting the contestant, and Attor
ney Howard Lewis of Glasgow
the contestee. Mr.. Raaen testified
that he had agreed to paw 5000 t.
be located on this claim, beside
having a prior homestead which
he had Telinquished Tor 5000. Thi
man should not be censured
great deal because he IS simply
young, innocent tool in the hand
Of INSCRIPTIONS land sharks.
The holhestesdeIs are watching
this case very closely to determin'
whether a poor homesteader mus
stay on his claim all the time re
gardless Of whether he has any
thing to live on or not; or if h
can 60 out and work tor wages ant
get something to cultivate his land
1t seems to be the history o
every new country that there ar
certain parties hanging aroun'
every community, whose bushes
seems to be to locate people OIL
land. Then when all this land j
taken they bring in a new crop O
ople to contest the real and &C
II. Il settlers. Then if the first set
tier 10 short of means-and mos
bomesteaders are-he is compelled
to sell mis- REIMBURSEMENT for any
thing he can get, or else leave the
land altogether.
The people Of this vicinity sin,
cesely hope the department OF the
Interior will make some change in
the homestead laws SO that an
h.saee oettler may not be contin-
sAlly hasrassed.

UNITED STATES IS
NOT TO INTERVENE
No Intervention In Present
Trouble In Cuba, Says
President Taft.

Jersey City, n. J, May 2S.-PresideHt
Taft today sent a message to President
Gomez. Of Cuba, saying he would not
intervene in Cuba. .
The message was in reply to a cable
gram received from President Gomez
Sunday, in which he protests in friend
ly but firm terms against intervention
by the United States. .E
President Gomez said the government
was doing It's utmost, having within four
days sent 5000 troops by land and sea
to crush the rebellion in Oriente and In
that short time having restored order
in all parts OF the island with that x
ception. He also says that 5000 rides
with ammunition have been distrlb-
uted to loyal citizens and that the
government Is prepared to flood the
comparatively small disturbed sections
with regulars and volunteers.
Il appeal to you" he continues, las
a loyal friend Of Cuba, respecting her
rights, that you will be convinced that
this government is capable and stffci-
emily supported by the Valor and pa
triotism Of the Cuban people to deal
promptly With a few unfortunate and
misguided persons without reason or
flag.
IF you understand these conditions,
you will perceive that it is hot the
part of a friendly government 70 con
tribute, under any circumstances, To-
the embarrassment Of a government
and people such as those of Cuba,
placed, Il is true, in unfortunate eendi-
lions, but not lacking in its methods,
patriotism and courage"

EARLY ADJOURNMENT
OF CONGRESS SOUGHT
Many Favor Latter Part Of
June To Quit But Others Say
Not Possible.

Washington, D. c., May 2S.-Longer
this week With a view to expediting
Legislation ard speeding adjournment
of congress as much as possible. Re-
publican leaders like Lodge. OF MaSsa-
ChusettS. n SmOOt, of Utah, are try
ing to bring the sessions to u close by
the latter part Of June. Others cling
to the possibility of an adjournment by
June 10, which the House democratic
leaders are pressing, while many sena-
tors say that early adjournment is not
impracticable but absurd. Strong pres
sure is being brought to bear by many
senators with q view to Curtailing de-
bate, advancing the hOur Of converting
and holding night sessions so az to
hasten all necessary Legislation with
appropriation bills kept to the front.
Plans of the regular republicans to alb
sent themselves on important tariff
votes are expected to simplify the tariff
situation and enable the president to
act upon the straight democratic tariff
propositions.
The important obstacles are Senator
Hepburn. of Idaho, and the Lorimer
election case. Senator Hepburn says
that congress should stay in session I'M
til November, If necessary, and is
counting upon blocking tariff legisla-
ton to the last ditch. Progressive re-
publiCanS like Cummins, of Iowa, want
adjournment, but want some tariff re-
vision first.

Berlin, May 2S.-The depth and per-

convention enjoys the patronage Of the
highest official circles in Germany.

phrases uttered by the aldermen of the
city in which the emperor has his resi-
dence, when giving their motives for
their refusal to 60 to any expense in

BARROW BRIBERY CASE
WAITING FOR RULING
Question OF Admissibility Of
Evidence To Be Passed On
By Judge Hutton.

Los Angeles. Cal, May 2S.-Mlnor
lawsuits and the usual Monday norm
ing session Of the lunacy commission
had precedence today over the trial Of
Clarence s. Darrow. the Chicago law
yer, for alleged jury bribing. The case.
in consequence, was not scheduled to
be resumed until 1870 o'clock this af-
%ternoon.
George N. Lockwood, the Grand
Army man, who began Saturday his
story of the alleged attempt to bribe
him as a prospective juror In the Nc
Namara trial, was expected to resume
the stand for the completion of his di-
rec examination, probably after a rul-
ing by Judge Hutton on the adfiisSi-
bility OF evidence regarding other in
stances of~alleged bribery in the Nc
Namara trial.
Judge Hutton indicated Saturday
that he would decide today, but it was
epected that some time would BIZ cOn-
sumed by the arguments OF counse for
both sides.
1t is not believed that the presecu-
ton hopes to connect Mr.. barrow with
the Lockwood bribery through Lock-
wood himself, as it Is said to be the in
tention of the district attorney to pre-
sent that phase OF the case through
Bert Fl. Franklin, who Is expected to
follow Lockwood on he stand.
The defense has promised a gruelling
cross examination for bOth Lockwood
and Franklin, particularly the latter,
who pleaded guilty to the indictment
OF bribfng Lock wood II was fined $4.-
