A Kansas Musician Dead.

Andrew ]. Guile, for many years
professor in Kansas colleges and con-
sidered an authority in national music
circles, died at Parsons after an ill

DIzzY, HEADACHY,
Sick 'CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 1o-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They

Sometimes men in the country get
examples of the profits to be derived
from good roads from which there is
no escape in argument.
Something like two years ago the
board of county commissioners of Clay
county established more than one hun
dred miles of county roads, which
were to be improved and maintained
by the county. Recently John An
derson, county commissioner, a farm
er in the northern part of the county,
had occasion to haul some grain eight
miles. The distance was all over
county roads, as good as any in the
county. Anderson placed extra side
boards on his wagon and hauled sew
enty-five bushels of grain to a load
Before these roads were improved
he said that he could not have hauled
to exceed fifty bushels to a load Also
on the old roads, he could have made
only one trip day. AS the roads
now are he was able to make two
trips. Thus, over the new county
roads, Anderson was able to haul one
hundred and fifty bushels of grain
day, though two years ago he would
have been able to haul only fifty bush
els a day.
He had much hauling of this nature
to do and saves two-thirds of his
time, the work taking just a third
as long as formerly. In addition, he
saves the wear and tear on his wagon
and makes the work easier for his
horses He figures that the cost of
the county good roads is considerable,
but on this one job of hauling he made
enough money to more than pay his
entire taxes for road purposes for the
year. He is a strong advocate of good
country roads and has proven in this
one job that good roads are cheap
and that it is the poor roads which
are expensive to the farmers.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Absence of
any evidence that fresh instructions
had gone forward from Washington to
John Lind or Charge O'Shaughnessy
was understood in official circles here,
today, to mark the advent of another
period of patient waiting for some
decisive development in Mexico. In
spite of all the rumors of blockades
and Intervention coming from Havana
and Vera Cruz, there has been no
sign of any activity at the navy or
war departments such as might be
expected to precede adoption of any
such radical steps by the admnistra-
tion. Moreover, it has been intimated
in official quarters that only by di-
rection of Congress would such a step
be taken.
Officials still decline to give any in
formation as to what has been ac-
complished by William Bayard Hale
in his conferences at Negales with
Gen. Carranza and his Constitutional
cabinet. State department advices
made public, today, indicated that the
insGrrectionary movement is spread
ing rapidly not only in the north of
Mexico, but to the south and east
This last development is regarded here
as very important because the success
OF the Constitation&lists in obtaining
possession of the rich oil fields in the

day, from Vera Cruz stated that all
bridges between Tampico and Victoria
had been destroyed, train traffic total
ly suspended and the tracks to the
north and south of Victoria torn up.
The city is about 100 miles northwest
of Tampico and it is understood that
the safety of a considerable number
of foreigners is threatened by the
military operations there. The Ger
