THE TRUE TEST
TRIED IN MENA 1T HAS STOOD
THE TEST.

The hardest test is the test OF
time, and Doan's Kidney Pills have
stood it we'll in Mena. Kidney suf-
ferers can hardly ask for stronger
proof than the following:
Samuel Badt, COG Seventh Street.
Mena, Ark, says: ~ have not
changed my mind regarding Doan's
Kidney Pills since I publicly in
dorsed them in 1908, and | never
let an opportunity go by to advise
the use of this preparation. My cure
has been lasting"
The above was the substance Of
Mr.. Badt's conversation when ne
was interviewed on March q. 1911.
His former statement given in 1908
was as follows: "Doan's Kidney
pills are certainly the best kidney
medicine | ever used and MANY
people 10 whom I have recommend
ed them consider them an ideal
preparation for weak kidneys
Doan's Kidney Pills cured nae on

stored my kidneys 90 q normal con

MURDERED-THEN MARRIED.
Ruse Failed, Bridegroom Confessed,
GaIlOWs Exact Penalty.

Laredo, Tex, March l5.-J. b.
Compton was hanged here at II
O'Clock this forenoon for the muir
der of G. J. Levytanski, a crippled
jeweler, on a night in last Deem
Der.
Comptons methods of trying to
escape detection for the crime
were remarkable. In the commits
sion of the crime he had an ae-
complete, Lonnie Franks. The
murderers robbed their victim Of
81 900 to $500 worth of diamonds
Franks fled but Compton remained
in Laredo, being one of the first
to enter the jewelry store next
morning in discovery of the body
and loudest in deerying the deed.
Well acquainted with Levytan-
ski, he went to see the body at the
undertaker's, commenting on how
little death altered his visage.
Keeping up his apparent uneon-
eern, two days after the murder
Compton married a young woman
Of this city. The police, suspicious
of Compton from the first because
he had been seen near the store
about the time of the murder, ar
rested him three times and were
forced to release him the first two
times for lack of evidence.
Then Frank, caught in San An
tonic, confessed, and Compton's
nerve broke down. He, too, con-
fessed. Frank was sentenced to
life Imprisonment. Compton APP
piled unsuccessfully for commu-
tation of his sentence.

NICE GIFTS TO NENA
Kansas City Southern Sends Cheeks
For Library, Park and Boys
Corn Club.

w. C. b. Allen, general agent for
Mena for the Kansas City Southern,
has received word that three
vouchers had been ordered for the
aid of local enterprises. They are:
Public Library, S45.
Jansen Park, S25.
Boys Corn and Cotton Club, S25.
Mr.. Allen is working quietly on a
plan by which he expects that a
much larger gift will come to Mena
from the road, one that will, if he
is successful, bring some desirable
enterprises to the city. He also
hopes soon to carry out a decorat-
i've scheme which will furnish
view from the station that will at
tract those passing through.

Madero Can't Help.

The developments Of today have
convinced official Washington that
neutrality or not neutrality, the
Madero government is not able to
suppress the revolution or to main
tain its treaty obligation to the
United States or any other country.
1T is noted by the authorities here
that the most menacing threats are
made against citizens of the United
States, which is endeavoring to
help Mexico, and not against citi-
zens of European countries.
1t is we'll known to the Madero
government that were such threats
as were made against Americans
at Tampico made against citizens
of any other nation a squadron
would be on its way with "a hours.
Six thousand people, many Of
them Americans, have fled from
Torreon. Violent disorders are in
progress at Tamulci Pass and Vera
Cruz while puebla Morelos and
Guerrero are practically in the
hands of bandits and insurrection-
lists.

TELL AMERICANS
TOLEAVE COUNTRY
Conditions Are Grave Throughout
Troubled MexicO-Madero Is
Helpless-Cannot Maintain
Treaty Obligations.

Washington, March 16.--Alarmed
by open threats from organized
mobs that they will slaughter all
Americans who do not Immediate
ly leave Mexico, the state depart
ment today telegraphed to Consul
Clarence A. Miller at Tampico in
structing him to serve formal and
vigorous notice on government au-
thorities that they will be held
strictly accountable for American
lives.
The first injury to American citi-
zens at Tampico will be the signal
for the appearance of American
warships at that point.
Hurried kilograms sent broadcast
to all United States consuls in
Mexico today, demanded immediate
reports on apparently authentic
stories that Americans are fleeing
panic stricken to the seaport towns.
This is notably true of Acapulco,
where a great throng of Americans
who, in the face of threats and
disorder, hurriedly abandoned their
property, have gathered.
Arrangements are now being
made by the Red Cross, under the
auspices of the government, to
send a ship to the relief of these
people. Other Red Cross ships will
be sent to other ports. If these
ships prove inadequate, the navy
department will be called upon to
do the work.
Following Immediately upon the
proclamation of neutrality issued
by the president, reports poured
into the department of state today
| indicating antagonism to Ameri-
cans in Mexico. Most significant
of all is the fact that the greatest
antagonism and the greatest dis
order have occurred at points
where the Madero government was
believed to be strongest.
Frank admission was made to
the department that only the pres
ence of Mexican federal troops
prevented the massacre of Ameri-
cans. This is particularly true OF
Mexico City, where an international
army is now under arms as auxil-
iaries.

CONNECTS ESCAPE
AFTER KILLING.
Desperadoes Confined in Nebraska
Penitentiary Mutiny and Kill
Warden, Deputy and Usher
Dynamite Steel Doors.

Lincoln, Neb., March i4.-Three
prisoners in the Nebraska peniten-
tiary at Lancaster assassinated the
warden, deputy warden and usher,
and wounded a cell house keeper,
blew the lock off one door, forced a
turnkey, at the point of a pistol, to
open another, and escaped through
the main entrance. Soon they were
swallowed up in a raging blizzard.
All were serving terms for robbing
banks.
Well armed with revolvers and
explosives, the trio first shot Cell
Keeper Doddy just outside the cell
house of which he had charge.
Rushing down the corridor, one of
the desperadoes fired through the
barred door into the Office of Dep
uty Warden Charles Wagner, kill
ing him.
Two Are Shot Down.
Alarmed by the shots, Warden
James Delahunty and Usher A. c.
Heilman rushed from the warden's
Office only to run into the three
convicts who were making for the
door leading into the main eorri-
dor. All the prisoners began firing
at the two men and they dropped
in their tracks dead. When rushing
past the PROSTATE forms of the
warden and usher one of the pris-
oners fired again into the body of
Delahunty.
Already exacting a toll of one life
for each having a chance for es-
cape, the three desperadoes flour
ishing smoking revolvers, rushed to
the door leading into the main cor
ridor, the most formidable bar to
freedom. knowledge of explosives
gained in practicing crimes result
ing in their Imprisonment, made
the blowing up of the lock easy
work. Swinging open the heavy
steel door the men ran into the
turnkey Though he doubtless
had heard the explosion, the trio
took him almost unawares, and
covering him with their revolvers,
commanded him to open the outside
doors and let them out.
Militia Called Out
A better day could not have been
selected by the men for their break
for liberty. The blizzard made it
impossible for one to distinguish a
man a few feet away. The three
plunged from the prison into the
natural shield and disappeared. 1t
was reported tonight three men
had been seen three miles from the
prison. Posses are securing the
country on all sides.
As soon as the news of the mu-
tiny reached the governors Office
company Of militia was ordered
to the penitentiary and Adjutanl
General Phelps was put in tempo
rary charge of the prison. The
three convicts are Morley, Taylor
and Dowd. Morley is said to have
served time in Missouri for muir
der.
A spirit of unrest has been pre-
yalent among the convicts for more
than a month. February II a ne
gro convict, Albert Prince, fatally
stabbed Deputy Warden f. Davis
during chapel services. No attempt
was made at a general outbreak al
this time although the conVicts
were assembled in the pews.

RAILROAD CONPANY'S
CHARTER IS EXTENDED
Board of Incorporation Allows
Three Years More to Mena and
Hot Springs Directors.

Little Rock, March i7.-The
charter of the Mena and Hot
Springs Railway Company was ex-
tended for a period Of three years
by the State Board of Railway In
corporation yesterday.
Officers ard directors of the
company appeared and stated that
negotiations for financing the road
are pending and That it is expected
arrangements will be completed
for beginning construction work
within a short time.
Among those who appeared be-
fore the board were John Thomp-
son of Mena, president of the COM
pany, Eugene Cox and w. M. Pip
kin of Mena, members of the Board
of Directors, and ID. w. Carter,
manager of the STANDARD Slate
Company, which owns large de
post of slate about is miles from
Mena.
Mr.. Carter stated that there is a
good demand for the slate, but that
comparatively little can be sold
because of the lack of transpofta-
ton facilities. Mr.. Carter said
there were six companies operat-
ing in the district.
The Mena gentlemen named
above returned home yesterday.
Mr.. Thompson says that while they
have been unable to take any def
mite steps toward building the road
the past year, they have done much
preliminary work, and have par
ties coming soon with whom they
hope to make a definite deal for
the road. The unsettled financial
conditions during the past year
have done much to hold back the
enterprise.

Ke-kpunoa, who was governor Of
Oahu, was both at this time and
throughout their entire connection
with the school of great assistance to
the teachers.
Although wishing to open the school
as soon as it was possible, Mr. Cooke
did not think it wise to do so until the
wall was completed, But on May A.,
1910, the children began to appear
with their kahus or servants. 1t had
been unusual up to this time for
child of any of the royal families to
be without his kahus And the first
nights were very sad ones for the lit
tie pupils, with their kahus banished.
To do this entirely was impossible, as
some of the younger children needed
their attendance. Nevertheless many
Of them were sent away, but they re-
NAMED just outside the walls, causing
some of the children to attempt es-
cape. This proved the great necessity
of the walls, for had there been none
there would have been no school.
There were fourteen young chiefs
and chiefesses who received their edu-
cation in this family school They

painted white, and was matched
with grass. Having only one story,
and wide verandas, it had a rambling
appearance. Surrounding the inner
court, in which there was grass
plot and a spreading tree, verandas
were built also. The floors were cover
ed with Hawaiian mats, and the walls
and ceilings were plastered. The
building had a parlor, schoolroom,
sleeping quarters fer the girls and

tables, with seating room for twenty
one persons were made of long boards.
The greater part of the provisions was
provided by the king and his chiefs.
Among the presents were two pigs,
three ducks, five fowls, fish and vege-
tables. After the feast, the building
was formally dedicated by prayer and
speeches by several of the missionar-
les. There were present at this dedica-
ton the king and his chiefs, a few of
the day pupils who were to enter the

done almost ntirely by the natives,
the money being furnished by the
chiefs. They did this at great sacri-
fee to themselves, as they had all
been heavily taxed at that time by

culties undergone in the preparation
of that feast! There were then no
crockery stores from which to procure
shortages, so Mr.. and Mrs. Cooke had
to go out among their friends and
