News of the fearful deed travelled on

there was greater excitement through

sands of people, including practically
all the foreign population, gathered in
the streets, all stunned by what
seems the grossness of the act.
Nations Are Informed.
Within few minutes after the re
port of the killing of Madero and Sua-

foreign countries were besieging the
cable office to send the information to
their home governments. Attaches of

the first to carry the information to

ed With Important Cases.

Washington, Feb. 24-Its February
recess ended, the Supreme court of
the United States convened today and
took up docket SO crowded that some
of the litigsnts, unless their cases are
advanced because of special impor-
Importance, will have to wait for near
ly three years before they can hope
for a verdict.
Chief Justice White and his associ-
ates have been able to speed up" in
the hearing of important litigation, but
they have not been able to keep pace
in the preparation Of decisions In
consequence over $50 cases, which
have been heard but upon which no
decision has been rendered, are on
the docket for this session.

SanitarY CarefuIness.

A commercial traveller says that he
can identify members of his profess
sion in the hotel dining rooms by
their habit of drinking their coffee
'1eft-handed." He says that many
travelling men have adopted this habit
because when they drink 'left-handed'
they drink from the side of the cup
that isn't generally used. This is one
of those customs the value of which
will lessen as it becomes more gen.
eral-or as dishwashing become
more OF a fine art.

rEiCrOtes iri Your Scalp

Authorities say that a microbe
causes badness. If You are losing
Eair try our remedy at our risk.
Professor Unna, of Germany, and
DR.. Sabouraud, the great French
Dermatologist, claim that a mi
crobe causes badness, and their
theory has been verified by eminent
scientists. This microbe destroys
the hair follicles, In time causing the
scalp pores to close and the scalp to
become shiny. Then, it is believed
nothing will revive the growth. If
treated before this occurs, badness
may be overcome.
We know of nothing that has
given such universal satisfaction in
treating the scalp and hair as Rexal
''93" Hair Tonic. 1t has been de-
signed after long study to overcome
the cause of falling hair as discovered
by Prof. Unna, DR.. Sabouraud and
other scalp and hair specialists, and
we believe it will do more than any
thing else can to remove dandruf and
stop falling hair; and if any human
agency can promote a new growth
of hair it will do that, too.
We want you to make us prove it.
We will pay for a months treatment
of Rexall "93'' Hair Tonic used dur
ing a trial, if you will use it ac-
cording to directions, and are not
thoroughly satisfied. When we viii
do this, you surely should not hesitate
to at least try it.
Start the treatment today. Your
mere request will get your money
back if you want it. Two sizes: 500
and $1.00.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Upon his re

Taft is about ready to turn the whole
situation over to his successor in Of

even into the residence districts. No
foreigners have been molested, but
whenever a group of Mexicans become
demonstrative, soldiers ordered them
to dispense. The reign of martial law
is more complete than it has been at
any time since Huerta's accession to
the presidency.
The official version of the killing of
Madero and Pine Suarez, as issued by
Provisional President Huerta, declares
that an attempt was made to rescue
the prisoners from the soldier guards,
who were escorting them from the ma
tional palace to the penitentiary.
President Huerta' s statement further
declares that when the attempt was
made to rescue Madero and Suarez,
they attempted to escape and we're
killed. The would-be rescuers were
driven off.
Broken hearted and weeping piteous-
ly, Mrs. Madero, widow of the MUIR
dered eX-president, sought an audi
ence with President Huerta to request
turned over to her. This request was
refused.
President Huerta has announced
that he has ordered rigid investiga-
ton of the affair and in the meanwhile
the officers and guards who were in
charge of the prisoners are held under
arrest.
President Huerta has indicated that
he will follow the tactics of Porfirio
Diaz, known as the dictate of the
Mexican republic" during the early
part Of his administration, relaxing in
severity as the necessity passes.
Huerta Rules With Severity.
He is using the utmost severity at
the present moment to terrorize the
malcontents and to secures peace as
early as possible. 1t is agreed by Of
ficials of the government that such
steps are necessary at present, as the
city is veritable slumbering volcano,
which needs only a breath to set it in
eruption.
