Niqht Sweats.

tNtSftA 1"Cdl5s
Night sweats indicate a debil-
ity and disturbance of the nerv-
Gus system. The debility may
be a result Of tuberculosis infec-
ton. cigarette smoking, enlarged
heart with feeble action, nerv-
Gus exhaustion, change of life in
women and too much covering
during sleep.
The remedy is to remove the
cause if that can. be determined.
Take a quick cold wet rub in
) the morning and use a rough
. towel for drying. 1t is not nat
ural nor normal to sweat during
sleep, and If this keeps up you
will feel tired in the morning,
. even if you do not now.
There are some remedies that
: will help to prevent night
. sweats, but they need to be used
with care, and the cause of the
!. sweats should be known before
taking any medicine.

 VILLAS FORCES.
HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE
Killed and Wounded on Both Sides
 Said to be in Neishborhood of S,oou Battle Line 20 Miles in Semi-circle

Juarez. Mexico, April IA nine days battle, possibly more desperate than that at Gobez PalaciO and Tor reon. has resulted in g. victory for the rebels under General Francisco CNilla at San Pedros de las Colonies, state of Chihuahua, according to an official report made public here this afternoon.
 The combined rebel forces came up on the united federals, said in the last days of the battle to have numbered l5,OO0 at San Pedro de las Colonies, state of Coahuila, forty miles east or Torreon. On both sides the killed and wounded, it is said, will number ln the neighborhood of 5000.
 The rebels claimed to have taken TOO prisoners. The federal army is said to have included the Torreon garrison, led intact out of the city in retreat by General Velasco on April ? and the forces of General Maas, General Hi dalgo, General De Moure and two oth- CTS.
 Maas, Hidalgo and De Moure were on their way to Torreon with rein forcements but Velasco retired before their arrival. Since then until the con- centration at San Pedro and Environs the federal columns, their routes de- terTnined by the presence of scattered supplies of water, have been manoev- sFing in an endeaVor to mobilize in force, which rebel attachments have sellrried hither and thither between NieSca- ParTas and San Pedro to pre- vent them concentrating.
 When the general engagement was brought on, it is reported that the bat tie line measured twenty miles in a semi circle about the city.

Accounts Causes That Led Up to the
 Civil War.

Meridep. Conn, April 14.-Before a large audience composed of the pub lie and the delegates to the depart mental encampment of Connecticut, Gardner of the G. A. R. delivered an able lecture at the Auditorium this evening. In part he said:
 As I stand here this evening and think that 49 years ago tonight Pres ident Lincoln was mortally wounded by a dastardly assassin and that 49 years ago tomorrow he passed away, to be placed upon that immortal roll of great men who had been instru- mental in founding and making per petual the United States of America. 1 cannot help but recall that great war in which so many men laid down their Eves
 The first and greatest result of that terrible period of five years was the settling of the constituutional rights If secession. The war proved an ab- so.uLe necessity in order to determine once for all the fact that this country IS Union and not a Confederation of states. Many people think that slavery was the cause of war, but they evidently forget that for many years previous to 1860 the question of states rights was a preeminent feature of the country's problems of state. To settle the sovereignty of the indi- Vldual state the war of 1S61-65 was in stituted and the country at large plunged into a sectional dispute to demonStrate to eVerybodyis satisfac- tion whether the fundamental rules of our national government were sound or tottering on their base.
 We did not go to war when South Carolina seeded, nor when the other southern states followed suit We did not go to war when the government s property throughout the south was seized but we did go to war when the national colOrs were fired upon at Sumter and the integrity of the United States of America placed at stake. It was for your country and for your homes. not for the slave, that hundreds of thousands of men went from every loyal state to teach the seeding fac tion that the constitution of the coun- try demanded reparation when assail- ed by force Of arms

SENATE ADOPTS
 BRANDEGEE RESOLUTION,
Calling for Correspondence of Treaties
 Concerning Panama Canal,


 Washington, April 1tHenry White former ambassador to France and sec retary to the American embassy at Great Britain at the time the Hay Paunceforte treaty was negotiated told the senate committee on inter ocean canals that it never was his un- derstanding nor that of any of the negotiations for Great Britain that the United States ever contemplated ex- e1npting American coastwise shipping from Panama Canal tolls.
 Another witness who supported the view of the president thata toll ex- emption for American ships should be repealed was Professor Emory R Johnson of the University of Penn syfvania. former member of the Is- thnlian Sanal commission and employ ed by former President Taft to frame a toll schedule for vessels passing through the canal.
 While the hearing was in progress the senate at the instigation of Sen ator Brandegee, republican member of the canals committee, who favors re- peal of toll exemption, adopted a resolution calling upon the secretary of state, if not incompatible with the public interest, to submit all cores pondence connected with the nego- tiations of the Clayton -Bulwer treaty and the treaty with Panama known as the Hay-Bunan- -Varilla treaty. The last named was included in the resolu- ton upon the suggestion Of Senator John Sharp Williams.
 - Little discussion of the tolls con- troverSy developed outside the sen ate but Secretary Tuanulty made pub lie at the White House more than five hundred telegrams received within the last 24 hours from democrats in all parts of the country, expressing ap- proval of the presidents repeal policy,
 These messages, Secretary Tumuity asserted, were unsolicited.

WHITMAN DISCREDITS
 GUNMAN'S STATEMENT,
Claims ValIon Hasn't Nerve Enough to
 Discharge RevoivsP.

New York, April 14.-District Attor- ney Charles $. Whitman discredits that part of the confession of "Dago Frank Cirof1ci, made before the gun prison yesterday morning, which charged that Harry Vallon, a witness for the state in the trials of the gun men, was one of the men who fired the shots that killed the gambler Her man Rosentha1.
 ~ Allon never fired d revolver in his lffe,' the prosecutor said today. He hasn't the nerve. The idea that Val lon, a man absolutely without any courage, would brace up and fire at Rosenthal when Dago FranH,' a pro- fessed gunman, ran away, is incredible. All the gunmen had records and had been convicted at one time or another. It was their business to do that sort of thing, and they were not the men to lose their nerve"
 Frank that he did not know Charles Becker. the police lieutenant whose conviction for the murder was re- versed by the state court Jr appeals and who will be tried again, probably next month, Mir Whitman said he had never contended that the confessing gunman was acquainted with Becker. Becker probably knew two of the gunmen,' the district attorney said, '=but there is no evidence that he and Dago Frank had met
 MT. Whitman is said to believe that '.Dago Frank was animated by a spirit of revenge in naming Walton. Lefty Louie" Rosenberg and "Gyp the Blood" HorowttS were the other two who 'Dago Frank said shot Rosenthal.
 The charge against vallon, MT. Whitman pointed out, finds no support in any of the evidence adduced at the trials of Becker and the gunmen; whereas the other parts of the confes- sion were borne out by the statements of the informers, Vallon, Schepps, Webber and others.
