THIS is CERTAIN.
The Proof that Alma Readers Can
Not Deny.

What could furnish stronger evil
dence of the efficiency of any remedy
than the test of time? Thousands of
people testify that Doan's Kidney
Pills have brought lasting results.
Home endorsement should prove
undoubtedly the merit of this rem
edy. Years ago your friends and
neighbors testified to the relief they
had derived from the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. They now confirm
their testimonials. They say time
has completed the test.
Mrs. Joseph F. Sartors, 2O1 Lin
coin avenue, Alma, Mich, says: "The
first symptom of kidney trouble that
/ had, was pain in my back. Then l
had headaches and dizzy spells. The
kidney action was irregular and gave
me a lot of annoyance. Nothing did
me any good until / got Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Rhodes Drug Store.
They completely relieved the all
ments. The kidneys got normal and
the pains left. That happened two
years ago and gave a testimonial.
Since then / have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills off and on and they have
kept my kidneys in good shape.
They act as tonic to my system"

NEST STILL BOOMING
Edmonton And Calgary Districts
Center Of Activities

George w. Moore, of the Burt,
Sharrar & Moore Land Company OF
this city after trip through the Ca
madam Northwest and the western
states returned to his home here last
week. Mr.. Moore is enthusiastic
over the entire Canadian country
through which he passed and the
western part of this country yet in
commenting upon Michigan he said
that Alma and Michigan looked pret-
ty good to him especially this time
of the year
Mr.. Moore left the city June 16,
and Chicago the following day, on
the 500 line en- route for the Saskat-
chewan district. He passed through
st. Paul and Minneapolis and through
the beautiful Red River valley, which
was almost bursting with its acre
after acre of wheat. The party en-
tered Canada at Portal and saw
Moosejaw and Medicine Hat from
the car windows as the train sped on
north and west into the Calgary dis
trict. Here the first stop was made,
and few days spent in viewing Cal
gary, considered to be one Of the
most beautiful and fourishing cities
Of the northland. Calgary has a pop
ulation of something like 10000 at
present, and is growing every day.
Building activities there are con-
stantly going on and this summer
even more of boom has struck the
city. Building after building, all with
steel frames, are rising out of the
place where only few years ago
sage brush and worthless land held
forth. All the structures are Of eight
and ten stories.
There is no more beautiful coun-
try than the Saskatchewan district.
Acres after acres of waving fields of
grain attract the eye from the win
dow as the train steams on north
ward towards Edmonton, considered
by many to be the coming metropolis
of the Canadian Northwest. Edmon-
ton, city of 10000 inhabitants, sit
uated 300 miles north of Calgary,
surrounded by rich farming and graz
ing lands, with the dark waters of the
Saskatchewan rushing through them,
| has enjoyed a wonderful boom dur
ing the past three years. In 1904
Edmonton was credited with 1,5OO
people, now you never know the ex-
act population. The population there
is only an estimation. With broad
streets, blocks of business sections
beautiful residences and inhabited
with a citizenship that is always on
the go, this city has its destiny be-
fore it."
While in the Edmonton district
Mr.. Moore took occasion to make a
side trip to Bruce where a colony oi
Gratiot county people have settled
He found Charles Fishbeck and fam.
lily, Volney Church and the Sprague:
excellently situated. They are pros.
pering, and from the looks of their
fields will have a wonderful harvest
All are enthusiastic and say they are
perfectly satisfied to remain there.
One of the attractive features o.
this country in the vicinity Of Bruce
although il is the rawest kind o.
country, is the soil 1t is the richest
of any in the northern country. The
top soil is very black running from
one to two feet in depth into a solit
clay sub-soil.
After a two days stop at Edmon
ton, Mr.. Moore went 100 miles fur
ther north to Athabasca Landing
Here the railroad ends in what i:
called the Peace River country. The

Colonel Ida Craft and Surgeon

the Mutual Life Insurance company's
building and its explosion caused a
fire which is still raging. The de-
struction of the building is feal ed.
Madero today declared that he had
1000 troops, and that the Diaz sup
porters have but 1900. 1t is believed
here, however, that Diaz has 1000 men
behind his revolt.
During today's battle, as yesterday,
the Diaz forces directed their fire at
at the high buildings where the Mad
erists were centered in an attempt to
dislodge the rebels by firing down
their position in the arsenal and in
the Y. NJ. c. A. building, which, having
been seized by Diaz, was another
storm-center. A number of these sky
crapers, as well as number of houses
were hit by exploding shells and hun
dreds of persons were killed Among
them. it is believed were some Am
ericans
The city is shaking with the roar of
the cannon and machine guns, and
the foreign residents are in panic.
The Diaz gunners during today's
engagements continued their attacks
on the high buildings where the
Madero guns were mounted and as
the result shells were bursting against
walls that housed the goods of the
Americans.
1t was impossible to estimate the
casualties up until noon, but it is be-
lieved they exceeded those of yester-
days fighting in total.
The fight today is undoubtedly
much the bloddiest of the revolution
or that of Madero which proceeded it.
Three thousand prisoners were re-
leased by the Diaz forces from Belem
prison today and are scattering all
over the city.
AS the result anarchy already pre-
walls in some sections.

NATIONS ADMIRATION EXPRESSES
IN SIMPLE WORDS OF DUTY DONE

LONDON, Feb. 12.-The official an
nouncement was made by the admir-
ality today that the highest badge of
honor, Died in Action" is to be at
tached to the records of Captain Scott
and his companions. The sublime
tragedy of the naval officers heroism
in his epic journal has aroused the
nation in way that even surpasses
any tale which Scott himself, although
he knew that the loyalty and devo-
ton of his men would have aroused
his countrymen, ever could have done.
1t was announced today that an ex-
pedition would be outfitted to recover
the body of the explorer and those of
his companions.
Dispatches from Wellington today
make it certain that Captain Scott,
Wilson and Bowers, perished together
after Evans was buried. The three

BIOdiest Battle Today.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 12.-The bat
tie between the forces of Diaz and
Madero for the control of Mexico City
was resumed at 1920 o'clock this
morning when the government troops
renewed the hostilities by q fierce
attack on the Diaz stronghold in the
arsenal.
Brisk connonading is now in pro-
gress.
The spattered blood of the hundreds
who were killed on the business
streets in the capitol city yesterday
presented a ghastly sight at dawn this
morning. The estimates of the dead
vary from 200 to 1000.
Regardless of the loss of life and
the protests of Ambassador Wilson on
the part of the United States, the
struggle continued today, Madero, him
self, giving the order which sent 1900
determined federal supporters against
the Diaz stronghold.

on the steamship Aorangi to meet her
husband, probably knows tonight of
his DEATH although the short range
of the Aorangi's wireless which
reaches only 300 miles, prevents re-
ceiving any word from that vessel.
The wireless offices here have a
stack of messages sent here by cable
for Mrs. Scott, but all efforts to get
an answer from the Aorangi since the
news of Captain Scott's death was re-
ceived have been unavailing. This
does not mean however, that the YES
sells wireless has not picked up some
of the messages sent out.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-SiXteen suf-
fragettes, comprising general Ros-
allie Jones and her army" started for
Washington today when they entrained
for Newark. After crossing the river
they started their actual hike" from
the New Jersey side.
The little army, uniformed in brown
cloaks and hoods, carried as am
munition 10000 suffrage leaflets and
Votes for women" buttons, with
which they hope to capture all enc
mics encountered on the way.
Mass meetings are planned in the
largest towns and cities en- route, in
GLIDING Philadelphia, Baltimore.
Trenton, N. j., and Wilmington, Del.
One of the towns to be invaded is
Princeton, N. j., where the suffrag-
cites will urge their cause at mass
meeting of the students of Princeton
university. Word has been received
that a delegation of the students plan
to meet the army and escort it into
town.
George Wendt, Jr., son of Mrs.
George Wendt of Albany, one of the

Bloody Battle Continues Until Demand is
Made by Uncle Sam That Firing in
Streets Cease; Many Killed.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. IA formal
demand upon President Madero that
the fighting in Mexico City cease I'M
mediately was made this afternoon.
1t was presented by American AM
bassador Wilson and by the German
ambassador.
The rebels and federaIs are now
comforting over the demand but it is
not expected that Diaz and Mader0
will agree to fight out their differ
ences elsewhere.
Ii they do not it will force American
Intervention, as the act of Germany
in demanding cessation of hostilities
within the city is taken to mean that
the European powers which have in
terests In Mexico will not tempOrize
longer with the present anarchial
trouble.

| WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The per-
fectly perfunctory, but highly import
ant task of declaring Woodrow Wilson
and Thomas R. Marshall elected pres
ident and vice president, respectively
of the United States, was performed
here today at joint session of the SEN
ate and house. Officially Wilson and
Marshall hadn't been elected until
after today's session. The meeting
was a highly dignified affair, as be-
fitted a ceremonial prescribed by the
constitution. The president pro tenn
pore of the senate, Senator Bacon,
sternly announced that there must be
no APPLAUSE from the floor or galleries,
but occasionally some enthusiastic in
dividual had the temerity to ignore the
order.
The joint session held that Wilson
received 435 votes in the electoral col
lege, Roosevelt S8, and Taft 8.
Rigorous procedure, prescribed by
the constitution and supplementary
statutes, was strictly followed in to-
days canvass of the votes. 1t was the
supreme and final act of law really
making" Wilson and Marshall the
nations executives for the next four
years. The Inauguration to follow is
but the formal attestation by oath of
~ ..ox,, oyoo,,+;yoe prop,ioinp ohpdi-
ence to the constitution and laws of
the country and faithful execution of
their trusts, and their ceremonial in
duction into office.
One o'clock was the hour set by law
today for the formal canvass OF the
votes. Long before, in fact early this
morning, eager crowds of spectators
bombarded the doors of the house gal
Iery to secure entrance. Admission
was limited to those bearing members
cards.
The ceremonies today were entirely
in the house chamber, as prescribed by
law in 1887. Before noon every avail
able seat IN the puDllc galleries, sldii
ways and outer corridors were filled
with struggling, seetnfng humanity.
Hundreds stood outside, able only to
hear the muffied droning of the formal
counting Of votes.
The senate end of the capitol was
deserted Long before one o'clock
sprinkling of senators were on the
house floor Promptly at one o'clock
Senator Bacon of Georgia, acting pres
ident pro tempore of the senate, and
named by law to preside over the joint
session, mounted the marble speakers
rostrum. The gavel was turned over
10 him by Speaker Clark. Bacon then
announced the purpose OF
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1913-02-12

the joint session-to canvass the votes
cast in the electoral college January
13 and ascertain if a president and
vice president had been elected last
November.
| Speaker Clark took seat at Bacon S
left. The senators were seated at the
right of the rostrum and the repre-
sentatiVes at the left. Four tellers-
two each from the senate and house
occupied seats at the desk of the clerk
of the house. With them were seated
Clerk Bennett of the senate and Clerk
| Trimble of the house. Other officers
of the senate and house, marshalled by
the respective sergeants-at-arms, were
assembled on either side of the plat
form.
On the speakers green-baize desk
was high stack of papers and sealed
envelopes. These contained the Off
cial certificates of the electoral votes,
sent by mail and messenger to the
president of the senate.
"The canvass of the votes will now
begin," Senator Bacon announced
hushing the loud hum of conversation
which swept from floor to galleries.
A clerk began opening the envelopes
at Bacon's elbow. These were ar
ranged in the alphabetical order of the
4S states. They were read by Bacon
and passed to the tellers at the clerks
desk, who recorded and tailed the
votes.

started ripple of applause, which
was Immediately hushed by Bacon's

ity Leader Oscar Underwood of the
house, who was candidate at Balti-
more against Governor Wilson, was the
signal for the first outburst of pent-up
democratic ecstasy.
