VERA CRUZ BELL
 PEALS IN ILLINOIS
Captured in Mexican War it Sounded Steamboat S Knell
 and Turned Methodist.

Bloomington, Ill.,. July 2.-1n the steeple of St. Joseph's Catholic church in Pekin, H., there is bel whose silvery chimes are of especia interest now. This bell was confis: cated at Vera Cruz in March, 1S46, by three soldiers from Pekin, all mem bers of Company G of the Fourth Hi nois Infantry Lieut.. w. A. Tlnney was in command.
 It was wild crowd of daredevils who composed this command, and they were the first to leap from their boats into the surf and reach the beach when the attack upon Vera Cruz was made. After the%ty was taken there was rush for souvenirs. Lieut.. Tinney Sergt. John Gill and Sergt, Samuel Rhodes, all of Pekin, secured the bell which had been swinging in the steeple of one of the largest cathed- rals. They packed their prize in a barrel filled with straw and shipped it home.
 Upon the return of the Perkln soldiers from the war in Mexico they sold the bell to the owners Of an llh- ncis river steamer, the Prairie state. For five years the silvery tones or this bell echoed along the river from St. Louis to Ottawa and was familiar to thousands of people, the river In those days being the great highway of travel. On April 16,1S52, there was race between the Avalanche ana the Prairie State, common occur rerce when two river boats ap- proached each other Just as the two crafts. moving at high speed, were nassing Pekin, the boiler of the Prairie State exploded and she sank with great los of life. The bell lay a. the bottom of the river for two years. 4o
 It was finally recovered and sold to the Methodist congregation to be used in the steeple of ne wchurcn' From 1854 until 1867 this Cathollc bell served the Methodist people as faithfully as it had its first owners or as it had the ill fated steampoa..
 The old bell, cast at the famous foundry of Valladolid in Spain early in the sixteenth century, rung Tn olo Mexico, changed oil the Illinois rlVel and continued to do its simple outy under the various changes of pro prietorship as an obedient servant to to it's many owners. In 1867 the peopie oY St. Josephs Church asked tAe Methodist to sell them this bell 'oll account of it's historic assoclatlohs and the latter obligingly did so.
 Since then the old bell has dally "tolled the knell of parting day." aho it's tones have an added interest Juo' now as a result of the present m broglio with Mexico. 'Sixty-elght years have passed since it's removal iron Vera Cruz but its tones are as cleai as on the day when it was cast.

MEDIAT0RS QUIT
 WITHOUT ENDING /.
 MELICAN TROUBLE
Continued from Page T.

tina. Brazil and Chile, in the conflict which arose between the United States and General Huerta, all that is left to be done is to organize and establish a provisional government in Mexico, a work of patriotism ex- clusively reserved to the delegations Of the two parties there contending.
 Therefore the presence of the me- diators here during the delay of the term referred to in the communica- tiOn of the representative Of MT. Caranza would answer no useful purpose, but it is unnecessary to add that when the time arrives for the Mexican delegations to initiate their common work the mediators stand ready, wherever it may be, to con- tinue to further as they have promis- ed the work of accord which the patriotic efforts of said delegations will undoubtedly be able to consum- mate. Any notification from you may consequently be addressed to the ann bassador of Brazil, Washington D.
 Upon temporarily parting from you by reason of this recess it is a source of peculiar qualification to us to acknowledge the perfect and lofty spirit with which each member of the delegations accredited to the mediation have contributed to the at mosphere of serinity, harmony and distinction which have always surs rounded the discussion, as it com mensurate with representatives of ;rt -{ 1iconCCInn or matters of such great importance as those in which we have been engag- ed"
 Justice Lamar Frederick Lehman and H. Perciavl Dodge, diplomatic secretary, comprising the merican delegation to the mediation confer ence, prepared to leave here tonight for Washington. Minister Suarez will return to Washington tomorrow or Saturday.
 Last Carranza Note.
 The last note from Gen. Venustiano Carranza, which was in reply to communication from the mediators under date of June 21, was made public today It expresses Carranza's appreciation of the invitation to treat directly with delegates of General Huerta on the organization of pro- v:sional government, but says he IS compelled to consult the generals of tho constitutionalist army before de- ciding on appointment of delegates to confer in his behalf with those of General Huerta regarding the possi- bi,ity of reaching an agreement put ting an end to the war.

HEAVY INCREASE IN
POSTAL DEPOSITS

Washington, Nov. 3.-Postal
savings deposits in Florida and 9th
er States have increased since the
European war began, according to
a statement made by the postoffice
department., which estimates the to-
tai increase the country over al
$4,000 900, due entirely to the wal
crisis abroad. The departments
statement says:
From the very day hostilities op.
ened across the seas, postal savings
receipts began to increase by leaps
and bounds and Withdrawals fell off
a result quite contrary TO- the. pre-
dictions Of many well-informed per
sons, who, in their imaginations
saw lines of feverish depositors a,
postoffice pay windows anxious tt
again return their savings to the
boot leg and body belt depositorie'
whence they came before intruste(
to Uncle Sam. But the forecaster,
failed to reckon on the absolute con
fidence of the American citizen IL
the ability and purpose of the. gov
eminent to carry out it's obliga
tions."

One-half of the thirty thousand
dollars that will be spent for free
hog cholera serum this year, would
enable the board of health to extend
its practical aid to hundreds of tu-
bercular human beings, to lessen
their suffering and to save human
lives, by teaching the people Of Flor
ida how to AXE care Of their sick
and to protect themselves from in
lection.
Evidently Florida is much in need
of education along health and sani-
tary lines. It seems that this edu-
cation might well begin with the

legislature who are competent men.

value a human life higher than that

TAKING CALoMEL IS DANGEROUS

Calomel Is powerful chemical
made from mercury-people should
be careful about its use. The only
sure way to avoid the danger OF
calomel is to take no calomel.
Dodson's Liver Tone, a vegetable
liquid of pleasant taste, more than
takes its place. Where calomel
shakes you up and shocks your liver
and often makes you really sick,
DodsGn's Liver Tone, mild but eff
fective, builds up and strengthens.
1t "livens up the liver" Y on feel
fine after taking it.
Dodson's may be taken without
any restriction of diet or habits.
You can give it to your children
with fine results.
Get large bottle for so cents at
Lake Pharmacy and if it doesn't do
all that you think it ought-if it
doesn't make bilious spells mere
trifles-if it doesn't Given up your
liver" your money will be waiting
for you and be returned with a
smile.

THEY FEEL SURE TO
GET SUFFRAGE

New York, Nov. Sit will be
impossible for Englishmen to say
mo- to us after this war is over. I
fully expect that they will give us
the vote Immediately" said Miss
Christabel Pankhurst, arch militant
and leader of Englishwomen who
are fighting for equality. Miss Pank-
hurst has surprised many New York
,ers, for she does not look in the
least like a FURY" as her co-work-
ers have been named. 1--WE are
showing men that women have to
pay the price of war just as they do
except that it's harder price.
Men are learning, too, that they are
not necessarily so all-wise in mat
ters- of international policy. 1t
would have been very much better
for the British government had it
spent the last five years in work
concentrated on Strengthening the
nation instead of fighting their own
women. They must see how valuable
and necessary is the work that Eng
lish women are doing now, and could
have done much more had we been
enfranchised.
Reform, Not Repression is the
watchword Of Englishwomen, par
ticularly of the Liberal psrty. But
when melting out repression to wom-
EN- they are not bringing out reform
but are doing wrong, and they know
it.
"Your men here may for all times
look back with pride to the fact
that they gave women the vote
without forcing them to rebellion.
Englishmen can never have that
consciousness. The best they can
do is to realize that it's never too
late to mend.'"
She concluded, I'VE militants
shall keep on defying physical force
until those using it realize that it
is impossible to rule women except
with justice and freedom. But we
expect justice and freedom when
this war is ended"

WIDOW GETS BIG
DAMAGES VS.. ICE COMPANY

Pensacola, Nov. 3 Judgment in
the UNI of $4,000, with interest
at the rate Of per cent from the
date suit was entered nearly two
years ago was the verdict of the
jury in the case of Mrs. Annie Floyd
against the Pensacola Ice Co. The
case consumed all of the past week,
excepting Monday and it was near
the hour Of midnight Sunday night
when the jury reached its verdict.
The jury assessed damages as above
for the loss of the husband of Mrs.
Floyd, who was an engineer at the
plant of the defendant and was
killed by the explosion Of an am
monia tank nearly two years ago.
Authorities on ice machinery were
brought here from other cities by
both the plaintiff and defendant and
gave expert testimony, and there
were also number of local witnesses
to the accident. The judgment is
the largest returned in damage
case in this county. The widows of
three other men killed at the same
time are also suing for large amounts
but these cases will not be heard un-
til the next term of court. The Pen
sacola Ice Co., controlling ell of the
local ice plants, is one of the COM
panies owned by the Southern Util.
tiles Co. of Florida.

HE DRAWS LINE AT
INDIVIDUAL LETTERS

Washington, Nov. president
Wilson has been exceedingly gra-
cious about blanketing Democratic
candidates this year with the favor
of his personal endorsement, but he
has been obliged to call halt on
these letter-writing activities. The
president baked when it came to
writing letters approving Demo-
cratic congressman who are up for
reelection by giving them individ-
ual letters of endorsement and rec
ommendation As long as the presi-
dent had no larger an epistolary
field to cover than the Democratic
United States senators who desired
letters from him, he was all right,
but when individual members of the
House began to ask for individual
letters of commentator, he saw
that if he yielded in one instance he
would be taking on too big con-
tract. There are nearly 800 Demo-
cratic members of the House, nearly
all of whom are candidates for re-
election and if he had established a
pecedent Of giving each a personal
letter he would have spent most of
his time until election writing let
tiers and his literary ingenuity would
have been taxed to the utmost in
thinking up" something to say.
