Letters FROM a Political Heathen--

SOMEWHERE, Oct. ito the Editor
OF The Bee: II would be a trespass upon
the good nature of your readers to enter
upon the details OF he uprislny against
Madero. Suffice 1t to say that things
had reached such a pass that anarchy
was in sight Huerta was requested by
two branches of the government-the ma
tionsl legislature and the supreme court
to take the government reins in Ids own
hands, which he did. Madoro and suarez,
the vice president, reigned under pressure
and protest Pedro Lascurain. minister
Of foreign affairs, became under the = xxi
can constitution, president. He appointed
Huerta minister Of foreign affairs, and
then resigned himself as president
Huerta thus became de facto and de 5ure
president OF Mexico.
The death Of Madero took place on the
night of the third day after his resigna-
ton. Everyone knows OF the clrcum-
stances of his taking off. Madero and
Suarez were being taken from the palace
to the penitentiary. when body Of men
assaulted the guard
Madero and Suarez were killed in an
attempt to escape, They were killed iy
the assaulting party. AS sI.ne OF TIE
guards were slain It is improbable that
the asssilants were would-be rescuers,
and that Madero was killed by mis-
take. The only bit Of evidence against
Huerta is the fact that the assaulting
party knew that Madero was being
moved But not even the twelve Hotten-
tots who tried the Chicago anarchists
would convict a man on that testimony.

what Neutrality Demands.


OMAHA, Sept. SOTO the Editor OF The
Bee: AS constant reader of The Bees
letter box II seems to me that a too
radical point of view is taken by most
individuals in writing about the present
European war. Not week ago news

The Appointed Day of Prayer.

The Appointed Day of Prayer.
BEATRICE, Neb.. Sept SOTO the
Editor of The Bee: To one who under
stands the scriptures, the idea of APP
pointing a day of prayer for cessation of
the European war seems ridiculous. God
answers the prayers of one saint, II he
prays along the line Of Gods will, quicker
than a whole world of sinners. There is
only one prayer a sinner may offer, and
that is one OF repentance and pleading
for mercy. At the time of the Lords
supper while speaking only to his dis
ciples Jesus said: abide in me, and I
In you, as the branch cannot bear fruit
of itself except II abide in the vine, no
more can We except We abide in me, II
yo abide in me and my words abide in
you. we shall ask what We will and it
shall be done unto you"
1t seems strange that after what has
heretofore befallen nations In the full
fillment of prophecy that people cannot
see that we are living in the time OF
Gods vengeance on this old earth. We
had better see II and prepare for IT, for
too soon we will be struggling for our
existence. as Germany Is. against all the
nations of Europe, Asia and Africa. There
were u 10000 martyrs In France in thirty
years. This is a serious subject, scoffer,
for this is Gods word; it has gone forth
and shall not return unto Him void. Al
ready armies have been seen marching
among the clouds and smoke of battle
above us. This is no fable. II Is high
time we get down and repent and cry to
God to turn away the devastating curse
that is sweeping over Europe-the curse
Of greed and power and worldly glory
and the curse that follows the rejection
of the Son of God and His prophets AZ

the blood, and drive Il out Of the

So sure, so positive, so quick and
lasting, are the results obtained from
the use of Croxone, that three doses
day for a few days are often all
that is required to cure the worst
case Of backache, regulate the most,
annoying bladder disorders, and over
come the numerous other similar
conditions.
1t is the most wonderful prepare
ton ever made for the purpose. It
is entirely different from all other
remedies. There is nothing else on
earth to compare with it. II is so
prepared that it is practically impos-
sible to take it into the human sys-
tenn without results.
You can obtain an original package
of Croxone at trifing cost from any
hrst-class drug store. All druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price if Croxone fails to
give desired results, regardless Of
how old you are, how long you have
suffered, or what else has failed e

Even Most Chronic Sufferers

Backaehe, urinary disorders, and

permanently and positively cure such
troubles, is to remove the cause.
The new discovery, Croxone, cures
such conditions because it reaches
the very roots of the disease. 1t

races which will be held there July
1880. The entry list is large and
about 20 horses are in training now.
Inquiries are being received from
horsemen in Oklahoma, Texas and

the best in the west. w. r. Jaillette,
manager, is taking fine care Of the
track. John o. NORMAN of Pomona,
California, who has some horses In
training there says it is one of the
very best he ever trained on.
The business men of Harrington
have offered a purse of $500 for
the $3.50 trot.

crop, there was a good attendance
at the races and 1t is only natural
