1--WE finally found the British con-
sulate, and Mr.. Mcneil, the consul, told
us we would be escorted to a car at
the railroad station under guard and
cared for there until a train left for
Manzanillo the following morning. A
few minutes later we were asked to
occupy the center of square of SOL
diers which had formed in the streets.
The commander of this squad was a
gentlemanly fellow, who did all he
could for us. On the march OF a mile
and quarter to the station the crowd
followed. shouting insults of an un-
repeatable character The women COW
cred their ears. The captain tried his
best to silence the rabble. At the sta
ton we were ordered to enter the
car, which appeared to be cattle car,
where we waited, sleepless, until al.
most dawn.
Once an orderly came in and in
formed the captain of our guard that
there was a company of infantry out
side which wanted to attack the car and
massacre the 'gringoes.' The captain
went outside and dispersed these sol
diers. But little later he had a more
serious problem in a company of cav
airy which rode up and was apparently
bent on taking possession. The cap
tain finally sent them on their way
after a deal of argument.
"A man ordered us to get out little
before o'clock and we were hustled
into another car. We were half un-
dressed at the time and were forced to
walk to the other car with our clothes
in our hands There were some Red
Cross nurses and soldiers in the Sec
ond car We were huddled together
at one end.
The line to Manzanillo passes
through a wide and pestilential swamp
and then across small mountain
range. We were stopped in the swamp
and awaited there the parley between
the commander OF the troops of Com
mander MacGruder.
"All of us, men, women and chill
dren, were without food and drink from
o'clock in the morning until o'clock
the next night. At last we were told
we could 60 aboard Mexican vessel
which was in the harbor, and we were
escorted from the railroad station to
this craft. We remained from early
morning until late at night, and then
were conveyed in a small boat to the
Raleigh.
Il later learned that we were allow
ed to go aboard the Raleigh because
the commander had promised to allow
two Mexican ships in the harbor to
leave unmolested."

WOMAN MURDERER
SHOWS NO TERROR
Once Convicted, Mrs. Wake
field Calmly Watches New
Jury Chosen for Trial.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 16.-
With one-third of the jury Of twelve
men who are to decide the fate &C
cepted, Mrs. Bessie Wakefield began
the second day Of her fight for life
more calmly that the first in which
she exhibited extreme nervousness.
She was brought from the Jail early
and had a consultation with her at
torneys before going before Judge
Reed to answer the charge of first
degree murder, in conspiring with
James Plew to slay her husband, who
was murdered in the Cheshire woods
a year ago last June.
The wide publicity given the case of
Mrs. Wakefield since the sentence Of
death was pronounced upon her and a
new trial granted upon appeal, makes
it difficult to find men for duty who
have not formed an opinion or become
prejudiced in their consideration Of
the case.

THE BREED OF COW
FACTOR IN PRODUCT

The breed and individuality Of the
cow largely determines the quality q
her product and the quantity Of pro-
duction from a unit OF food Neither
heavy feeding nor skill in oompound
ing rations can be made tho means OF
causing her to overstep her constitu-
tional limitations.
The selection of cows simply with
reference to breed is a question of
adaptablity. II the production Of
milk at the minimum food cost per
unit of volume is the result most de-
sired, the dairy breeds characterized
by milk with a low proportion of sol
ids should be chosen, but II the object
is to merely secure busseG-fat with the
lowest possible food expenditure. the
so-called butter breeds are in general
to be preferred.

through ignorance of diplomatic con-
ventions or etiquette. There is every
reason to believe that Mr.. Williams
knew exactly what he was doing, and
chose the course he did because of a
highly altruistic and idealistic ambi-
ton to help the Albanians throw off
the yoke of alleged foreign oppres-
sion. Apparently he knew it was none
of his business to interfere in the do
nestle affairs of Balkan principality,
but he blithely ignored the path of
safety and sacrificed himself on the
altar of Albanian liberty"

COMPANY SHUTS OFF
STATE HOUSE WATER

INDIANAPOLIS. July 15.-The state
house today was without its water
supply. The Indianapolis Water Com.
pany had shut 1t off and officials of
the company refused to turn 1t ON.
This is why.
The state house lawn this summer
has been greener than ever before.
The reason is that Jack Shea, custodi-
an Of the building and grounds, has
been hiring small boys to turn on sew
eral standpipes every evening after
lark and give the yard a thorough
wetting. The water company learned
of this violation OF its rules last night
and shut OF the water.

Have You Had the Grip?

There are certain disorders, such as
the grip, that especially debilitate and
make the body an easy prey for more
dangerous diseases. Ask those who
have had the grip regarding the pres
ent condition Of their health and most
of them will answer: "Since I had
the grip I have never been WELL" They
still have profuse perspiration, the
persistent weakness of the limbs, the
disordered digestion, shortness of
breath and palpitation of the heart
caused by the -blooded condition
in which the grip almost always leaves
it's victim after the fever and influenza
have subsidized. They are furthermore,
at the mercy of relapses and of COM
plications, often very serious. In an
attack of the grip there is rapid
thinning of the blood and not until
the blood is built up again is COM
plete health restored.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills quickly
make the blood rich and red drive out
the lingering germs from the system
and transform despondent grip victims
into cheerful, healthy men and women.
Try the pills for any form of debil-
ity caused by thin blood.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. Get box to-day and begin at
once to regain your health. Write for

many curbs. The burgess will allow
the property owners until May Is to
get the work started. If on that date
no intention on the part of property
owners is shown to do the work, the
burgess will order the pavements and
curbs laid and then the property
owner will be forced to pay for the
work or be prosecuted.
Crossings To Be Laid
Crossings over all Of the streets and
alleys are also to be made within the
next few months and a bridge over
First run at Second and Walnut streets
will be built. The contract will be
awarded in the near future.
Burgess Hummel is looking over the
sanitary conditions of the town and is
determined to enforce an ordinance
which prohibits the throwing of ashes
and garbage in any of the streets,
alleys or public grounds. Notices are
now being printed and will be posted
within a week. A violation of the or
dinance means a fine.
During the summer the streets will
be cleaned and many of the unsightly
dead trees which stand along some OF

They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one of
panies,r in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is SO common to the
American people, and the large ma
Jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
According to this it would seem that
a medicine for the kidneys, possessing
would be a blessing to thousands.

swamp Root the well-known kidney,
liver and bladder remedy, claim thai.
Judging from evidence received from
druggists everywhere. who are con-
stantly in touch with their customers,
and also indisputable proof in the
form of grateful testimonial letters
from thousands of reliable citizens
this preparation is remarkably sue
cessful in sickness caused by kidney
and bladder troubles. Every inter-
esting statement they receive regard
ing Swamp-Root is investigated and
no testimonial is published unless the
party who sends 1t is reported of good
character. They have on file many
sworn statements of recoveries in the
most distressing cases They state that
DR.. kilmer's Swamp-Root is mild and
gentle In its action and its healing
influence is soon noticed in most cases.
