special needs on the parents side

Why anyone in the vicinity of Show
hogan should continue to suffer with
indigestion when a bottle of Kimball's
Liver Pills will bring relief is certain
ly a mystery. G. r. Fogg has been
selling Kimball's Liver Pills for some
time and he knows from actual ex-
perience right in his own store just
what Kimball's Liver Pills will do and
if you inquire. he will tell you that
he never knew remedy to prove so
decidedly beneficial in the treatment of
Liver trouble, Constipation, Indiges-
ton, Palpitation, Sleeplessness and
other forms of stomach trouble. 1t
certainly ought to give you confidence
when you know that every bottle of
Kimball's Liver Pills is sold on a
guaranty to relieve these troubles.
They do it by toning up the digestive
organs so that food will assimilate and
give strength to the body just as ma
ture intended and by stimulating the
Liver to greater action. kimbalis
Liver Pills are sold right on their own
merits and all you need to do Is TO
go back to Mr.. Fogg and get your
money if you are not decidedly bene-
fitted.

WAR HAPPENINGS
CONTINUED from First Page
FRIDAY. MAY %


A telegram has been received at
Juarez from Gen. Filipe Angeles by II.
Perez Abreau, head of the Constitu-
tionalist information bureau, stating
that Saltillo was evacuated by the
Federals.-The garrison of Saltillo is
said to number 1900 men under Gen
eral Joaquin Mas The town was
believed to contain large stores of am
munition and supplies, and if the re-
port of the evacuation is true, it is
probable large quantity of munitions
of war will fall into the Constitution
alists hands.-The only road of re-
treat open to the Federals is said to
be south of San Luis Potosi The 250
miles separating the two towns is an
arid desert and it is believed that but
small part of the Federal garrison
will be able to win their way through.
SATURDAY, MAY %
One of the most threatening COM
plications to mediation was removed
when definite word reached the state
department that Vice Consul John r.
Silliman, arrested at Saltillo and long
sought for, had arrived safely at Mex,
leo City, accompanied by the British
vice consul at Saltillo, Mr.. Macmillan.
The news of Silliman's safety became
known at the moment when Secretary
Byron was making public reports re-
ceiyed from refugees, that Silliman
had been executed on May IS by the
Federals at Saltillo.-While Silliman
himself is safe, however, there re-
mains several very grave features
connected with his arrest. Unofficial
reports have indicated that he was
placed under arrest while acting as a
United States consul, was imprisoned,
tried as spy and condemned to
death, also that the United States con-
sulate was entered, the official ar
chieyes being taken, including the
code of the state department. Sill
mans personal safety relieves the sit
uation of its gravest aspect, but the
other indignities, many of them Off
cially verified by the inquiries going
on, remain to be atoned for in the Ill
innate settlement.

TUESDAY, MAY 26

It is understood that the discussion
of the mediators at Niagara Falls has
thus far been of a general nature.
The mediators have taken the position
that they are essentially counsellors
and not dictators of the destinies Of
the Mexican republic. They will not
suggest names for the Provisional
Presidency nor will they recommend
any form of government. From the
Mexican delegates themselves must
originate proposals concerning the in
ternal affairs of their country and
these suggestions will be transmitted
by the medators to the American del
egates for consideration. The theory
under which the internal questions
are being brought into the discussion
is that the United States has a right
to say whom it will recognize as Pro-
yisional President of Mexico, and
therefore can indicate in advance who
will be acceptable.
