Plume Coulee, Manitoba, Dec. a
A lone masked bandit this afternoon
held up the Bank of Montreal
branch here, stole $4,000 in cur
rency, shot and killed the bank man
ager II. NJ. Arnold and escaped in a
stolen automobile. Mounted police
and posse of citizens are believed to
have surrounded the outlaw on wood
ed bluffs near here.
The masked man first appeared at
a garage and forced the proprietor to
supply him with powerful automo-
bile. He drove the machine to the
rear door of the bank. The bank
manager, alone, submitted while the
robber took several packages Of
money, but attempted to follow as
the latter entered the automobile.
Then the bandit turned and fired.
School children who witnessed the
escape gave the alarm.

A correspondent says:
"You-Say that corn smut gets into
the plant at termination, and at no
other time, and from spores in The
soil. My experience last year seem 4
to contradict this. | planted ten
acres Of old-tield that had not been
in cultivation for 20 years, and used
commercial fertilizer. About the
time the corn was making we had
drouth, and at least one plant out d
20 had more or less smut. Tie
spores could hardly have lived 81
years in the soil, and | bought sead
from man who has been breeding
it for 25 years and has little smut. !
think it was the dry weather and
physical condition of the soil this /
caused the smut. Now | shall plan {
more old-field another year, and
want you to tell me how to avoid the
smut. | shall not use any Of my
corn for seed"
How the spores got into your soil

they were there and ready to grow H.
the corn, for no plant grows sporta,
neously, but must have somethin9
ike a seed. The smut plant has been
growing all summer in your corr
and the so-called smut is simply tho
iruiting of the plant, and the dIy
weather had nothing to do with T..
Every black speck Of the smut acts
as seed, and perhaps cattle ran on
the old field after eating smutty foG
der, and if they are on the field you
intend to plant next summer yoH
will have smut. 1t is not carried b.
the seed at all After the corn ge 5

them will grow. The spores mus.
be in the ground as the corn germ
mates, and the way to keep it dow
is to burn every Smutty stalk, ard
never allow any Of them to go into
the manure.

II Your Liver Gets Lazy You Need a
Liver Tonic, Not Merely
Laxative for the Bowels.

Many people take simple laxative
when their bowels get sluggish rather
than take calomel, which they know
to be dangerous. But a mere laXa-
tive will not start a sluggish liver.
What is needed is tonic that will
liVen up the liver without forcing you
to stay at home and lose day from
your business.
You have such a tonic in Dodson' S

CHAOS TO YIELD TO ORDER.
Washington Thinks Conditions Will
Improve Shortly.

Washington, Dec. Adm inistra-
ton officials here are viewing with
satisfaction evidences Of the growing
sense of responsibility on the part Of
the rebel leaders in Northern Mexico
for the protection of life Id prop
erty within the territory Of their pos
sessions. The State Departments
request for the release of Americans
held for ransom or arrested on Sus-
picion are now receiving prompt at
tention at the hands of the COnstitu-
tionalist generals, and it is apparent
that these officers in turn are gradu-
ally eXerting more power and impos-
ing greater restraints over their sub
ordinates.
Some semblance of civil authority
also is beginning to appear in the
Northern States, and is meeting with
recognition at the hands of the mill
tary leaders. Altogether officials
here see indications that a regularly
organized civil government is about
to be evolved from the chaotic con-
ditions that have prevailed in that
section of Mexico for the past nine
months.
1t is believed that the Constitu-
tionaliStS themselves are divided on
the question of seeking formal recog-
milton by the United States. A con-
siderable portion of them are said to
incline to the view ascribed to Gen.
Villa, that such recognition of their
government in its present onditiOn
might encourage a movement for the
separation OF the Northern States
from the remainder of the country.
The State Department has so far
received no confirmation from Official
sources Of the report that the great
oil companies in the State of Vera
Cruz, under threats from the insur-
gents, have cancelled their contract
obligations to supply the Mexican
government with the crude oil nee
essary to operate the locomotives on
the railways. Reports to the depa art
ment indicate that there is enough
oil already above ground to meet all
of the needs of the railroads for at
least three months, and it is said
there is no question as to the power
or the disposition Of the Huerta gov
ernment to take forcible possession
OF this fuel.
Fighting Soon to Cease.
Juarez, Mexico, Dec. 4.-While
lOOllnS DS isolated DanuS or OnnSca-
tiOn OF property by the rebels may
continue, the days of fighting in
Northern Mexico are numbered, so
far as the present revolution is con-
cerned, according to opinions ex-
pressed by rebel leaders.
What most Immediately concerns
the Constitutionalist party now is the
elaboration Of it's civil government
This embraces more systematic
custom system. The rebels hold all
the important border towns, except

Upon
The Charge OF
KILLING WOMAN
ROMEO HENRY is FREED
Jury Out Upon Case But
Short While

Romeo Henry, the regro charged as
being accessory with William Walker
in having killed a negro woman. Jes-
sic Williams, on October 18th, was
acquitted OF the charge of murder in
Sumter superior court last night when
the trial jury, after an hours delibera-
ton, returned verdict of not guilty.
The case consumed the entire day
and half of the day previous, and two
score witnesses testified for the state
and the defendant. There were no
witnesses to the tragedy and Henry s
plea of an alibi was sustained to the
satisfaction of the. jury.
The jury retired at $3.50 o'clock last
might and after an hours deliberatioa
returned verdict of not guilty.
There was no real incentive for the
murder of the woman, so far as Henr-
VS. connection with the case went it
was claimed that he was seen in COM
pany with the negro woman and Will
Walker on the afternoon of the murder
and this fact was the main link forged
by the state in connecting Henry with
the homicide.
Walker was convicted last week OF
murder in the death of Jessie Williams
and the penalty of his crime will prob
ably be passed upon him today.

Ojinnaga all day. A few who reach
ed the American side, said the exodus
included more than 1000 persons.
The federal troops, including the
most important generals in the nortn,
continued fortifying the village This,
taken with the fact that General
Inez Salazar, Immediately on his ar
rival, communicated with Mexico
City, indicated that the federals in
tended to make a defense on the bor-

orders from the government of Pro-

JOYNER WARNS
AGAINST DANGER
ACCIDENTAL FIRE
CARE SHOULD Be EXERCISED
In Decoration of Christmas
Trees, Etc.

AS the Christmas holiday season is
oftimes attended with accidental fires,
resulting from the ignition of Christ
mas trees and the careless use of fire.
works, State Fire Joyner has issued
a word of warning upon that score
which the people of Americus, as of
other cities should heed Upon this
line CHIEF Joyner has made the fol-.
lowing timely suggestions, which are
worthy of attention.
Christmas trees, with decorations
of tinsel and the lighted candles form
q very grave danger, unless care is
observed OF course, l do not want
to stop or even retard the beautiful
custom of Christmas trees for the lit
tie folks, but an event of Joy can very
easily be turned into an occasion Of
sorrow and grief through just little
carelessness.
"As an aftermath of every Christ
mas we read pitiful stories of death
by flames in holiday celebrations. Tin
sci and the light decorations used on
Christmas trees should not be permit
ted near electric lights or electric
wires. 1t is very easy for a serious
confagration to start in this way,
and usually when fire does start under
such circumstances it burns SO quick
| y the damage orharm done before
any one can prevent.
Il advise every one not to attempt
to change electric wires at all without
the approval Of an electrical inspec-
tor. A great many fires result from
neglect of this precaution.
Churches, Christmas, bazaars, mer-
chants, in fact, everyone should exert
unusual precautions at this time, and
q great many serious and unnecessary
fires could be prevented. A little
thought and care will save large
property loss and perhaps human
lives.
