which they dropped off and escaped. A
posse quickly organized by officers
aboard the train was started in pursuit.
The two men swung aboard the rear
sleeper as the train was leaving Cline
and aroused the porter. With drawn
pistols they forced him TO awaken the
passengers and as fast as the latter
left their berths they we're robbed of
their valuables. Just how much was

Superintendent Downes Says It Will
Probably Not Be introduced Here

Superintendent of Public Schools r..
E. Downes said this morning that it is
unlikely that the Spanish language will
be taught in the local High schools, as
has been repeatedly suggested.
He said he knew nothing of a reso-
luton of the school board providing
that an instructor in the language be
employed at Central High school, a
resolution which is said by former
President Orth of the board to have
been placed on record more than ten
years ago.

opinion, to inject such an issue

impolitic, and unwise. Candi-

that prohibition is an issue, and
we do not think his friends
should embarass him with ques-

If you try calomel TO cure you, the

up for two or three days more. So we
say Don't take Calomel."' You can

this medicine is Dodson's Liver Tone.
It is pleasant tasting vegetable tonic
that mildly stir ulates the liver and
causes it to work just right without
any danger of salvation. II it doesn't
fully satisfy you. you may have your
money back from the store where you

J he Mexican situation remains
as badly muddled as it was
weeks ago. The Mediators do
not seem to have done much
towards settling the controversy
between the Constitutionalists
and the Federals, and now it is
stated that Carranza will not
confer with the representatives
of Huerta until Huerta surren-
ders. It looks to US from this
distance that no arrangement this
or other government can make
seeking a peaceful settlement
will be accepted, and we have
reached the conclusion that the
"dogs of war" will have to be
unleashed, the United States
take possession and hold it until
a stable government is assured.
