Why King George Will Take No Trips
To Foreign Courts.

London-All the projected visits of
King George and Queen Mary to
foreign courts have been abandoned
for this year. The change in the
royal program is attributed officially
to the coal strike, but in all probability
the tension in Anglo-German relations
and the possibility of the occurrence
of unpleasant incidents if the King

BANDITS FQILED BY MESSENGER
Bandits Boarded Train At Midnight
and Forced Engineer To Bring
1t To a Stop In a Lonely
Stretch OF Prairie.

San Antonio, Texas.-Employing
the simplest sort of ruse, Wells
Fargo Express messenger, with nerve
aplenty. who knew how TO deliver a
swift, terrible blow, baked the rob-
berry of a Southern Pacific train by
killing two of the highwaymen. The
holdup was staged near the Mexican
border on the eastern edge of the
Big Bend" country of Texas. For
miles through the lone stretches of
rolling prairie only scattered ranch
houses relieve the landscapes
monotony. The point where the
train, No. 8, westbound was halted is
several miles east of Sanderson, IN
Terrell county. David A. Trousdale,
an express messenger, recently pro-
noted to his run from the San An
tonic Offices of the express company,
prevented the robbery. One of the
robbers who held up Trousdale at the
point of a rifle in a corner was ran
sacking the express car
I'm not going to scrap with you
ALL" remarked Trousdale as he con-
versed with the bandit. I'm not
getting fighting wages"
"Oh, all right" replied the bandit,
then you fellows will have to help
us get this stuff across the Rio
Grande."
why don't you pick up that pack
age?" casually inquired Trousdale, as
he kicked at small box on the floor
of the car IT'S worth more than all
the stuff you've got
The robber stopped, deceived by
the ruse, to pick up the package.
Trousdale grasped heavy mallet and
struck The bandit received the blow
full on the head. He fell over dead
There was no alarming cutlery.
Trousdale picked up the dead rob-
ber's gun and waited.
Meanwhile the second of the ban
dts had been working on the car
ahead. When he completed his job
he hurried back to the express car.
Frank" he called There was no
answer
The robber swung himself aboard
the car. AS his form doomed in the
doorway the express messenger fired.
The bandit tumbled to the ground
dead. The bodies of the robbers were
put into a baggage car and the train
proceeded.
The bandits boarded the express at
Dryden soon after midnight. Swing
ing onto the engine they covered the
driver, Erosh, with guns and ordered
him to proceed till they told him to
stop. Ten miles west of Dryden they
gave the signal for halt. The con-
ductor of the express alarmed by the
frequent stops, sent a negro porter
ahead to inquire about the trouble.
The negro was promptly covered with
rife. Then the conductor crept up
to the engine Immediately he took
in the situation Before the robbers
could fire upon him he FASTENED back
and down the track. Walking sew
eral miles he stopped freight train
and gave the alarm over the wires to
Sanderson. Meanwhile the robbers
were putting their plans for ransack-
ing the express and mail cars into
execution.

They All Do It.
[Wiekenburg Miner. l

"Wickenburg readers of the Los Angeles Examiner have noticed during the last six weeks or so that the Wednesday morning issue of that journal contains every week, a grist of Wickenburg mining items, and have wondered who the Wick enburg correspondent was. It is an easy matter to determine that point. Just compare one of these punches of Wickenburg items with the last issue of your local paper and you will discover that they are lifted" bodily from the Miner, with Wickenburg date line ad- ded to give the impression that they were wired right to the Exam iner. Furthermore 1t has hap pened more than once the Phoenix papers have copied the whole bunch of them from the Examiner, using in their turn a Wickenburg date line and getting the credit for telegraph tolls they never paid. Of course neither paper gave the Miner any credit. That would destroy the special telegram illusion. However, it's all right. The Examiner has a big eircula- ton, and the Miner is glad to know that it's items are read by million or more people. It all helps to advertise the Wickenburg country"
 THE OASIS has had occasion to note similar thefts from it's own columns. All the daily newspapers do the same kind of work.

Tells of Prosperity Along West Coast.
Mexican Hersld,l


 Conditions on the west coast of the republic are steadily improving and the inhabitants are returning to their everyday pursuits, accord ing to H. J. Temple, general super intendent of the Southern Pacific railway of Mexico who has just arrived in the capital from that region.
 MT. Temple stated yesterday that in the states of Sinaloa and Sonora, the people are loyal to the present government, and that what little banditry has manifested it. self has been sternly suppressed by the government with the result that those parts of the republic are f1ourishing at the present time compared with the remainder of the country.
 Every week, according to MT. Temple, large shipments of mining machinery are being made over the Southern Pacific line, and mines, which temporarily shut down owing to the disturbances, are being opened up as fast as sup plies arrive.
 Large irrigation enterprises are being carried out all along the coast, and much foreign capita is being attracted to the development of the extremely rich agricultural land. The railroad is cooperating with the farmers in the working of their farms, and while a boom is not expected to take place, there is no doubt, stated MT. Temple, that the steady growth of the land under successful cultivation will bring about a ffourishing condition of affairs.
 AS an indication of the fact tha t things are by no means at a stand still on the west coast, Mir. Temple cited the fact that the crop of gar banzo in the states of Sonora and Sinaloa this season was double

that of the preceding year, amount ing to 300.00O bales.
 MT. Temple is an enthusiastic believer in the future of the west coast and stated that when the railroad construction work now in progress is completed the beginning of a new era for that part of the country may be anticipated.

A Death Chair.

A contract for the erection OF
the electric chair at the peniten-
tiary was awarded by the board
of directors to the Adam Elec-
tlical company of Clinton, n. j.
This company is to complete the
job, erecting the chair and
equipping it thoroughly with
the electrical apparatus. The
chair will be of mission oak and
the death dealing current will
be secured from the local elec-
trio company of Columbia. The
important part Of the death
chair is the electrical apparatus,
and this will be installed with
the greatest care.
The directors of the State
penltentiarY met with the sup
erintendent of the prison for the
purpose of letting the contract
for the electric chair. which was
ordered by an act passed by the
general assembly in its 1912 ses-
sion. The directors have been
in consultation about the erec-
ton of the chair for several
months, and a committee from
the board recently made a trip
to Raleigh and Richmond with
the intent of finding out certain
details and specifications of the
erecting a death device of the
kind to be established for this
State.
There are several persons to
be electrocuted in June and the
chair must be in readiness by
that time. It is not believed
that the erection of the chair
will consume any great length
of time, the parts being assem-
bled in this city and power be-

FREE If IT FAILS.
Your Money Back if You are not
Satisfied with the Medicine
We Recommend.

We are so positive that our
remedy will permanently relieve
constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be. that we offer
to furnish the medicine at our
expense should it fail to produce
satisfactory results.
1t is worse than useless to at
tempt to cure constipation with
cathartie drugs. Laxatives or
cathartics do much harm.
They cause a reaction, irritate,
and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more
chronic. Besides. their use be-
comes a habit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a
weakness of the nerves and
muscles of the large intestine or
descending colon. To expect
permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen
these organs and restore them
to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall
Orderlies on our recommenda-
ton. They are exceedingly
pleasant to take. being eaten
like candy, and are ideal for
children, delicate persons, and
old folks, as we'll as for the
robust. They act directly ON
the nerves. and muscles of the
bowels. They apparently have
a neutral action on other associ-
ate organs or glands. They do
mot purge, cause excessive
looseness, nor create any incon-
venience whatever. They may
be taken at any time. day or
night. They will positively re-
lieve chronic or habitual consti,
