HUERTA A DICTATOR.
Provisional President of Mexico Dis solves Congress and Calls a Special
 Eleotion-His Orders Disobeyed.

Provisional President Huerta made himself dictator of the Mexican repub- lie when he issued personal decree formally announcing the dissolution of congress. He asserted that his ac- ton was due to interference with the prerogatives of the executive on the part of the legislative branch of the government
 General Huerta backed his dissoIu- ton of the national legislature by call ing an extraordinary election of sena- tors and deputies for Oct. 26, the date set recently for the constitutional cleo tion to choose a president and a vice president. The provisional president announced that the new congress to be chosen on that day would pass on the presidential election
 The decree for the dissolution of the old congress states that the executive refuses to obey the commands of the legislative power and consequently de crees those commands to be invalid.

trated.

Last week news came to this con- munity of the death of Nathan Hart, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Hart To most of us his death seemed sudden, but he had been sick since he was last ln town to attend the funeral of his aunt ln the summer. On returning to his duties at Mt. Hermon, he was obliged to go to the Hampden hospital in Spring field, where after ten weeks illness he passed away, leaving many friends and acquaintances to mourn his departure. He leaves his parents, MT. and Mrs. 0. w. Hart, his sisters Elizabeth and Amelia and his brothers Wallace, Whit tlesey and Roy. He was educated in Cornwall and was the first of Cornwall's s rural mail carriers. Giving up that position to a brother, he went to Mt. Hermon, where he became superintend. ent of one of the departments which position he retained until obliged by sickness to leave the. school for the hospital. He was also a member of Guild grange. The family have the sincere sympathy of all, which they ap- preciate, although unable to thank each one personally. The funeral was held at the house Friday. the Rev. E. 0. Starr officiating and MT. Thomas Elder speaking in behalf of Mt. Hermon school. The body was then taken to North Cornwall cemetery to be placed near others of the family who have gone be- fore. MT. Hart was 34 and although a man of few words, was living Chris tian life and exerting a good influence on the boys with whom he came in con- tact and will be much missed.

His bonds were placed at $500.
1t seems that Dr.. Hunter, who is
said to live in Minneapolis, has been

months. Recently he failed to az.

Wright. Sheriff Wright went to
Woodwork and formally arrested his
namesake and Mr.. and Mrs. Wright
spent the day in jamestown while
the formalities of the proceedings
were held.
Mr.. Wright takes his arrest and the
proceedings very cody and something
sensational may develop when the
case comes to trial. Mr.. Wright did
not disclose his, defense when his
case was called in justice court and
the nature of his defense is left to
conjecture.
Mr. Wright established The Rust

According to Stefansson's theory

years the natural movement of the ice
will carry the vessel to the pole and
