ANHERT'S MEN LEFT HIM
IN SIGHT OF TORREON

Mexico City, Oct. 11.-Failure Of
General Trucy ALBERT to get to the
city of Torreon in time to relieve II
"a mission ON which he set out
from Saltillo nearly a month age
with large force of federal troops
is explained by the fact that the
greater part of his 1000 deserted
him before he had completed half
of his journey. He had reached
MADEIRA, 25 miles east of Torreon,
when news of the execution of the
city reached him.
The report that General ALBERT
had gone over to the rebels was not
substantiated. He is said today to
be at Hipolito, fifty miles west of
Saltillo, to which point he retreated
with the men who had evacuated
Torreon under General Igancio,
Bravo, Munguia and Escudro.
General Alvirez, who started with
1000 men, two siege guns and a
number of pieces of light artillery
to retake the city of Durango from
the rebels and whose defeat caused
the evacuation of Torreon, fell into
an ambuscade at La Iona thirty
miles to the. southwest of Torreon
General Alvirez, who was regard
ed as one of the bravest officers in
the federal army, was captured with
his staff and all are said to have
been executed on the spot by the
rebels. EFgF

GUT OLE TIE WAFER

OFF.
Failure 20 Comply with City Or
dlnance Leads to Drastic
Action by the City
49, Officials.

The water hammer, figuratively
speaking. has begun to hit hard.
Consumers who use the municipal
water but who have not installed
meters, although notified to do so,
are finding themselves shut off the
city water circuit. Thursday sew
eral water connections were shut off
by Marshal Engle and Elmer FL
wick, ASSISTANT city clerk. More
are to be cut off unless meters are
installed Immediately in compliance
with the city ordinance touching
that point just how many con-
sumers have neglected to obey the
city ordinance officials at the city
hall make no definite statement. But
the number is somewhere near so
or so.
Consumers who will not install
meters have no recourse, nor has the
city. When the ordinance requir-
Ing meters was first passed ana
persons attempted to secure re-
straining- order. from Probate Judge
Tappen, this was refused. The suit
was taken to the district court but
Judge King said that he could see
no cause for action when the plain
tiffs in the suit already had install
ed meters. By agreement of the
plaintiffs the suit was dismissed. So
there is nothing upon which oppon-
ents to meters can base their OBJ
jections and still use city water.
The meters, city hall officials say,
must be installed before cold wea-
Their at the cry latest or the water
will be shut Off And it is not safe
to wait any longer.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the eustachian
tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured

A popularity of illuminate of mer-
curry is that it produces shock to
which all other substances are sensi-
tive, and its supreme value as an ex-
plosive rests in this fact and in the
known liability Of all explosives to be
detonated by more or less distant ex-
plosions. There is current Of sympa-
thetic influence in these terrible chem
ical compositions that is as strange as
it is dangerous. What is required to
produce explosion is the rapid genera
ton of great heat along with large
quantities of oxygen. In gunpowder,
for instance, the nitrate Of potash
(saltpeter), which is the chief ingre-
dent, is practically imprisoned oxygen,
and when 1t is decomposed along with
charcoal an immense heat Is developed,
which causes the gases to expand sud-
denly, hence explosion.

COL. G. W. COCKTAILS CIVIL
GOVERNOR OF CANAL ZONE.
President Appoints Chief Engineer to
High Post and Urges Reward.

President Taft has rendered to Colo
mel G. w. Cocktails, U. S. A., chief en-
gineer of the Panama canal-and the
colonel has accepted-the post Of civil
governor of the canal zone.
The change of government on the
isthmus will take place probably in
the spring. Colonel Goethals will serve
as civil governor until the canal is for
mally opened on Jan. l, 1915.
The first vessel will be sent through
the canal, barring the unforeseen, Sept
25, 1913, on the four hundredth ami
versary of the discovery Of the Pacific.
From then until the formal opening
the canal will be operated as SAM
pie" for the training of the operating
force, the getting Of everything in final
shipshape, etc.
The canal, according to Colonel Goe-
thals, is now more than IS per cent
completed, and July 1 next will see it
ready for the turning in of the water.
1t is apprehended that the entrance
and presence of the water may cause
some further slides Of the treacherous
banks, particularly at the Culebra cut,
but the expectation is that the dredges
can take care by July Of the material
thus deposited in the big ditch.
AS indicated some time ago, Colonel
Goethals intends, when the canal Is
going, to retire from the government
service and settle in New York as a
consulting engineer, with the idea of
making some money for his family.
Meantime President Taft has asked
congress to reward the colonels work
on the isthmus by promoting him to be
a major general in the army.
