Strong men with legs of flesh and bone just stand

FrieI Allen, Stripping Boy Of II,

He cheerfully surrendered and occupies

Claude, who surrendered Thursday.
Only Sidna Allen and his young neph-
ew, Wesley Edwards, are fugitiyes.
Friel deserted them two days ago, bring
ing back their ultimatum of defiance.

tiyes will get discouraged but if they
keep after him, he will be shot or kill
them; he will never surrender"
>Friel said Sidna admitted killing Judge
Massie while Edwards acknowledged
shooting Prosecutor Foster.
The fathers anxiety to have his
youngest son spared terrible death III

CRACKED LIPS
Now Is the Time to Use Mentkolatum
for Chaps, Rough Skin, Sores, Etc.

Now is the time when nearly everyone
is troubled with cracked lips, rough face
or chapped hands, as cold weather causes
these troubles unless special care is
taken of the skin.
They can be prevented if Mentholatum
is used after washing the hands or face.
If, however. the lips are cracked or the
hands chapped and rough, apply Men
tholatum at night and in the morning
the soreness win be gone and the cracks
healed. 1t is of special benefit for cold
sores, taking out the burning and healing
the sore.
Everyone should have jar of Mem
tholatum in the house to use in the case
of burns, chilblains, frost bites or any
pain or Inflammation. 1t is of great
value in curing catarrhal colds. Money
back if Mentholatum does not give per-
feet satisfaction. Buy jar to-day from

FACING ANOTHER BUTTER FAMINE.
Montreal Supply from the Northwest

Montreal March 3o.-Montreal is fac
ing a butter famine for the second time
this year Prices have mounted to forty
cents per pound, wholesale. and the
chances are that they will 60 higher.
as there is less than nine days supply
on hand and order.
The reason for this situation Is the
lack of shipments from the Northwest,
which used to supply upwards of thirty
carloads during this season to Montreal
But the Northwest needs the supplies for
home consumption now and is asking
for quotations here for ear lots.
There has been an increase of about
$1,000 packages or 5.5S5.456 pounds
shipped here during the past year in
comparison with last year from the
first Of May to the present date, but the
supply IS thousands of packages each
vesr below the demand.
The general situation throughout the
dominion is very grave. as supplies of

As Means of Defence From

FEAR OF RIOT PREVAILS

cans--Mexico City Said to Be

Washington, d. c.. March 3O,-Com-
munication with Mexico, again restored
yesterday, brought fresh confirmation
OF persistent reports that the Madero
regime is tottering. The gravest fears
are here that the revolution torn re-
public is on the verge Of another gov
ernmental upheayal and that Uncle Sam
RAY yet intervene to protect Americans.
The state department officially an
nounced that shipment of 1000 krag
Jorgenson carbines and rifles, together
hand fighting, and a plentiful supply
OF ammunition, was dispatched Thurs
day on the Ward liner from New York
for Vera Cruz, consigned to Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson at Mexico City
The arms are to be issued by the am
bassador to responsible Americans in the
Mexico capital, who will prepare to de-
fend themselves to the death. in ca Sc
the half-eXpected outbreak of anarchy
occurs.
Dispatches of the gravest import are
believed to have been sent by Ambas.
sador Wilson to the state department
here. The city Of Mexico is a dormant
muttering volcano, kept from a terrible

eiPners only by the presence of large
body of federal troops. These Madero

IN INTERESTS OF TAFT.
Congressman Hawley of Oregon Spoke at
St. Johnsbury Last Night.


st. Johnsbury. March 30 Congress
man w, Il. Hawley OF Oregon addressed
large audience in the town hall last
night in the interests of President Taft.
The speaker believed President Taft to
be the right man for the Office. He did
not give the Payne Aldrich tariff law
his unqualified approval, but accepted
it as the best he could get and at once
took steps to secure revision of that
tariff as fast as accurate information
could be obtained. He sought the estab-
lishment OF tariff board and the enact
ment OF cooperation tax law to give
"a revenue of from S25, 100000 to $50
100000.
Regarding the conservation policy OF
the president, Congressman Hawley ehal-
lenged the opposition to show that the
country has lost anything whatever dur
ing the Taft administration The Bal
linger controversy was thrust upon him
at the beginning of his term. and lie
let 90 the man he could best spare. lie
replaced Pinchot with Graves, man
equally as loyal and efficient.
Taft had the courage to take up the
revision OF the tariff, which his prcdeces-
sor had evaded for several years Taft
has effected large economies in the man.
agement Of the department Offices at
Washington.
From personal experience, the speaker
believed that those who regard the pres
ident as an easy man to move are mis-
taken When convinced of the merits of
proposition, he is quick to support it.
but he must be shown wherein mat
ter is worthy before he will espouse it.
The Sherman law is not designed to
act honest business, but only to az
ford adequate punishment for dishonest
business. President Taft does not want
the law REPEALED. but he wants it amend
ed to make it more clear.
These facts, in the opinion of the CON
gresham, should convince anyone that
Taft should be renominated and re-eleet-
ed.

Is Report to Massachusetts, Leg
iSIature ON Grand Trunk
DO NOT RELAX GENERAL LAW
The Special Committee Thinks 1t Desir'
able That Any Trunk Line Be Ad-
mitted to the Port of Boston
Under Restrictions.

Boston, March 3O.-Although agree
ing that the entry of the Grand Trunk
system into Boston is distinctly in the
best interest of the commonwealth"
the railroad commissioners and port d.
rectors, sitting jointly, in special re-
port TO the legislature yesterday did
not consider it advisable that the
provisions OF the general law should be
SO far relaxed as to permit the COM
pany to secure its location without first
obtaining the approval Of some public
authority"
The board expressed the opinion con-
cerning the company's proposal that it
be given five years in which to locate
and ten years in which to build should
be modified.
The position taken by the board is
based upon the assumption the Southern
New England Railroad corporation will
continue in the future to be as at pres
eat an integral part Of the Grand Trunk
system. Any legislation, the report
says, should contain conditions to insure
continuance OF this relationship.
The report is in answer to two Of
the questions asked in the Lomasney
order, redrafted by the committee on
railroads, relative to railroad facilities
and development of the port of Boston,
ADOPTED Feb. 7.
As to the desirability OF the admis-
sion or the extension into the state Of
any railroad not now operating here,
in connection with the best interests of
the port Of Boston or the commonwealth,
the Joint board declares for the encour-
agement of the extension into the state
and TO the port of Boston, of any trunk
line or any railroad that Is an integral
part Of a trunk line system.
