Plus BURIED NEAR
TOPREDECESSORS
Thousand People Witness I'm
pressive Ceremonies Held
in the Vatican at Rome.

Rome, Aug. 24.-The entombment
of the late Pope Plus y. took place
Saturday evening at sunset. The
great basilica of ST Peters was in
semi-darkness. a pickering light came
from the perpetually burning tapers
about the shrine OF the apostles and
the candles in the chapel where the
catafalque stood.
Those who witnessed the ceremony
numbering about 1000, came by special
invitation, and included the diplomatic
representatives accredited to the holy
see. the prelates and members of the
Roman aristocracy.
The procession formed in the
chapel of the blessed sacrament, where
for hours the body of Plus y. lay in
state. The catafalque was surmount-
ed by the triple crown and the body
of the pope was clad in the pontifical
robes and surrounded by the emblems
of his sacred Office. During the day
many thousands of persons passed by
the bier.
In the evening the bier was removed
and placed on a low platform on
wheels. At the gates of the chapel
the arch priest of the basiIica, in violet
robes and surrounded by the chapter.
Joined in the procession. First came
jeweled cross held aloft, then the
cardinals and high prelates, each car
ryiuE q candle. In the center of the
procession was the bier, the cortege
passing amid the kneeling crowd,
while through the vast church was
heard the Misere, sung by the Sistine
choir.
The solemn cortege marched into
the crypt where the body of Plus Y.
Will have its final resting place. Here
the roof is very low and the Misere
had a peculiarly weird and melancholy
effect. The tomb of the late pontiff
is on the right at the entrance to the
subterranean chapel, close to that of
several other popes. At this point
several ancient marble tablets we're re-
moved 70 make room for the tomb OF
Plus, which, while partly within the
wall. also projects into the passage 81
The body of the pontiff lies in a
cypress wood coffin on which rests a
gold cross. This is encased in zinc
and finally in an oak casket. on the
ca sket is the inscription:
Here lies the body of Plus ", born
June ,, 1885; died August 20, 1914"
The coffin was placed within the
tomb, while Cardinal Della Volpe re-
cited prayers for the dead, accom-
panied by all present. kneeling.
\ monument TO Plus y. will be
erected in the crypt.
II Is announced that the pope left
considerable sum of money TO be dis
tributed among the poor of Rome. The
sisters OF the pope will leave Rome
and live at Riese. They are to re-
ceiye $50 a month. which was the
pope's wish. and this will be suffi-
cient for their needs.

THE ARKWAY.

"A Mexican Spy in America a two-reel Bison drama, will be featur- ed tonight at the Arkway. It is a spectacular military play laid in the United States on the Mexican border during the recent strained relations between this country and the southern republic. From this standpoint alone the play should prove of tremendous interest. However, Henry McRae, the producer and author of the piec, has not depended solely upon military movements, war atmosphere and the several exciting incidents incorporat- ed in the play, for his punch He has evolved drama of strong fibre, of vital current happenings-a drama that is rife with intrigue, several striking and original situations, stur- dy love and romance, and that has a brilliant surprising wind-up.
 Another good subject will be shown tonight.

HENDRIX DEFEATS h[NDfRSON-BROWN BULLDOGS WIN EASILY lSOGGY FIELD KEEPS CONWAY TEAM FROM FILING UP
 LARGE SCORE.
By a Staff Correspondent.

Arkadelphia, Nov. 27.-Coach Bill Headricks massive and swift-moving football machine from Hendrix Col lege yesterday afternoon sent Tender Ison-Brown College down in defeat, 12 to O, on the Reddies' own battle ground. It was victory the Bull dogs have striven for for eight years.
 The muddy condition of the field kept the Bulldogs from piling up a large score. During the 60 minutes of play the ball was in Hendrix pos session 50 minutes, and their goal was never in danger. Henderson made their first downs but twice dur ing the entire game, while the big huskies from the Conway college rare ly failed. The Hendrix backs crush ed the Reddies' line, piercing it time and again for gains of from eight to 30 yards. The Reddies simply couldn't hold the plunging Bulldogs; they were icompletely outclassed in every partic- ular. On many occasions the Bulldogs carried the ball to within striking dis tance of the Arkadelphians' goal, on ly to lose the undiscovered oval on a tumble. The Reddies were compelled to punt out of danger nearly every time they got the ball, while the Bull dogs punted but few times Twice Anderson attempted to kick goal frt n the field, but the attempts were un- successful He also missed both trials at goal following Holmes two touch downs, which lie attributes to the wat er-soaked condition of the ball.
 More than 200 Hendrix roOters came to Philadelphia in 9 special train, while many others from the southern part of the state arrived on earlier trains. The Hendrix band of 30 pieces rendered number of selec- tions during the game, and gave a concert at the hotel after the game.

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

Russian Poland still holds the center of the war stage in public in- terest, but as yet it is impossible to say definitely what is transpiring there or what the developments of the past few days have been. Unofficial reports still maintain that the Ger mans have suffered a great defeat at the hands of the Russians in the ter ritory lying between the Vistula and Wartha rivers, and Lord Kitchener, the British secretary of war, made the announcement in the House of Lords that the Russians had "been able to check and to defeat the Ger mans with, believe, heavier losses than they ever sustained before Official Petrograd, however, has made no claim to a decisive victory "In the battle of Lodz, which continues to develop, the advantage remains secured to our troops" says the latest Russian official statement. This com munication adds that the Germans are making strenuous efforts to fla cilitate the retreat of their corps" from the vicinity of Brzeziny north ward to the region of Strykow, "un- der conditions very unfavorable for them"
 In Belgium and in France, except for artillery dueH here and there along the entranched lines, no en- agreements are taking place.

HOW ID CURE \ CHRONIC COUGH
Told in the Following Letter by a Jackson Man Who Knows from Experience. His Word Is Good.

Jackson, Miss.-"1 am a carpenter, and the grippe left me not only with a chronic cough, but 1 was rundown, worn out and weak. took all kinds of cough syrups but they did me no good finally got so weak 1 was not able to do day s work, and coughed so much I was alarmed about my condition. One evening I read about Vinol and decided to try it. Before had taken quarter of bottle felt better, and after taking two bottles my cough is entirely cured, all the bad symptoms have disappeared and have gained new vim end energy" JOHN L. DENNIS, I'll Lynch Street, Jackson, Miss.
 The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because the active medic inal principles of cod liver oil contained in Vinol rebrilds !, 'sting tissues and supplies strength and vigor to the nerves and muscles while the tonic iron and wine assist the red corpuscles of the blood to absorb oxygen and distribute it through the system, thus restoring health and strength to the weakened. diseased organs of the body.
 If Vinol fails to help you, we return your money.
