DANGER FROM GRIPPE
Lies in That Cough and Weak,
 Worn-out Condition.

Grippe. pleurisy pneumonia, these are greatly to be feared at this time of the year.
 To prevent grippe from being fol- lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo- mia, it is important to drive the last traces of it out of the system quickly. Our advice Is to take Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron prepara- tion without oil, and get your strength and vitality back quickly.
 Mrs. A. A. Grabill, of Strasburg, Va. says Grippe left me weak, run down and with severe cough, from which l suffered four years. l tried different remedies, but nothing seemed to do me any good until took Vinoi, from which I received great benefit. My cough is almost entirely gone and am strong and we'll again, and l am glad to recommend Vinol to others who suffer as 1 did"
 Try Vinol with the certainty that if 1t does not benefit you we will give back your money.

A MEXICAN COUP D,ETAT.

Surprising events have transpired
in Mexico during the past week. A
clash occurred between President
Huerta and the congress, growing
out of the disappearance of DR..
Belisaro Dominguez, senator for the
state Of Chiapas, who had severely
criticised the government. A res
olution of warning addressed to the
president was voted fol- by 10 dep
uties and senators, whereupon Presi-
dent Huerta issued 4 proclamation
dissolving the congress and ordering
the arrest OF the opposing members
of that body.
This arbitrary edict was carried
out, thus constituting Huerta the
virtual dictator Of the country.
Approximations were felt that the
imprisoned congressman might be
made the victims of foul play, hence
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan addressed brief but en-
phatlc messages to the Mexican gov
eminent through United States
Charge d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy at
Mexico City, declaring that this coun-
try will look with extreme disp1eas-
ure upon any failure to insure the
safety of the prisoners.
President Huerta has called for
the election of new congress on
October 26, when the presidential
election is to take place, but it is
scarcely likely that either the United
States or any of the other powers
will recognize the results of any cleo
toral contest held in Mexico under
existing conditions, when a fair and
free expression of the popular will
is virtually impossible
There is no telling what a day or
week may bring forth in the un-
happy republic to the south of us,
and anxious eyes will be turned in
that direction until a solution of the
present precarious situation is found.
Ut one thing there is reasonable as
that whatever course our
government feels impelled to pursue
toward Mexico will have the approval
ana aequiescenee of all the other ma
tons, since there. must be universal
confidence in the good motives and
strict sense Of justice that will gov
ern the United States in its dealings
with its neighbors.

Maurin store Robbed.

Charles Maurin's general merchan-
disc store, in the heart of the Mlssls-
sippi street business district, was
entered by burglars Monday night
and robbed of a number of pocket
knives, razors, scissors and other
pieces of cutlery, to the approx
mate value of $40 The desk in Mr..
Maurin's office was forced open and
the contents scattered about, but
the only thing taken therefron was
a Waterbury watch which was in one
of the drawers. The culprits helped
themselves to a supper OF sausage,
pigs feet and crackers, and left be-
hind them a razor and a pair OF
shears, neither Of which belonged to
the Maurin stock. Two strangers
were in the city Monday peddling
razora and scissors, and it is al
most certain the robbery was COM
mitted by them. At about $50
o'clock Monday night, a young lady
residing in Lessard street noticed
man standing by the fence which in
closes a vacant lot contiguous to
the rear of the Manrin store, and a
moment later sue saw aHotHef HAL
vault the fence from this lot and
Join the first loiterer, the two then
walking away. The strangers above
mentioned were seen to board the T.
and q fast West-bound train which
passes here at $50 p. m, each
with package under his arm, hence
the conclusion is reached that it
was they who perpetrated the theft
and who were observed in the vi
entity of the. Maurin establishment
about half an hour before train time.
Entrance to the store was effected
through a door in the rear.

The report that Henry Duke had
taken first prize for stage horses was
a miss-liek. It was his baby that
carried off blue ribbon. Henry
doesn't brag on his nags, but when it
comes to his kids, that's different.
There were lots of compliments
and few roasts at the fair About
the worst roasted things were Alfred

the other girls in her class three
times in succession.
Professor Hines didn't arrive in

else he would have seen that his

girls had been anticipated.
The way Prof. Hines dived in and
headed off the high dive man show

The pretty girl riders in the divid-

pretty saddle horses.
Every fellow was on his good beha-

L. E. Bentley went around with a

Of course you're going to have an

TOPAZ OFF BONDS

State Treasurer w. J. Speer an
nounced today that his forthcoming an
nual report would inform the state leg
islature that 100000 of the states
bonded Indebtedness would fall due in
1915 He said that provision for meet
ing the indebtedness must be made
by the legislators at the summer ses-
sion.
From the present condition Of the
state treasury, he minated the legis-
lature hardly can do anything more
than provide for refunding of the
debt. This he said, doubtless would be
the procedure.
The bonds. forming about one-third
of the states Indebtedness, date back
number of years. Recently Georgia
legislatures have been loath to impose
extra burden on the state. The tenden-
cy has been to cut down the present
debt of about $10,000,000.
