Sent by Parcel Post From Washington State to Paris.

 Each package of belts for Paris re- quired a blank customs invoice on a linen tag specially provided by the postotfice.
 Surrounding counties and adjacent states are deluging Chewelah with let ters of inquiry regarding the rabbit market The department of agricul- ture is seeking information to assist in extending the market.

WE MUST STAND APART.

If the Mexican federals have evac- uated Saltillo there is no reason why they should not also give up San Luis Potosi without struggle, and in that case there will be no likeli- hood of determined opposition to the constitutionalist advance at Zaca- tecas, Aguascalientes and Queretaro. The common soldiers among the fed erals are doubtless ready to join the conquering revolutionists. That is the old story in Mexico. Ruthless slaugh- ter of helpless prisoners is also an old story there. It is obvious that the Mexican spirit has not changed since the inhuman sacrifice of 357 men of Fannins captured forces in Texas on Palm Sunday, 1886, less than month after Santa Anna's ruthless slaughter of the sick and we'll alike in the Ala mo. Human life counts for nothing in Mexico.
 However, Villas murder of his pris- oner's of war would not be matter of great present interest to us if it were not for the too general feeling throughout the country that the ad- ministration at Washington has some sort of an understanding with the constituencies. No pains should be spared to relieve the public mind in this matter. We cannot afford to take sides in the Mexican struggle. The killing of Benton, the murder of many Americans in the railroad tununel at Cumbre, have not yet been satisfac- torily explained. With the avowed object of the revolution Americans generally sympathize, but they can not approve of many of the practices of Villa and his followers.
 With the elimination of Huerta and the conquest of the capital by Car ranza, the position of the United States in relation to the Mexican troubles will be beyond criticism if all entanglements are avoided. If, in spite of the good will of the South American diplomats and the disposi- tion of the American delegates to make reasonable concessions and of the delegates appointed by Gen. Hu- erta to deal fairly with all questions, the conference fails, there will be a change in the situation which may force new responsibilities on the gov ernment at Washington. At present we are all hoping that the confer ence may accomplish it's purpose, and thus far the hope is justifiable. But in no circumstances can the admin istration condone the cold-blooded murder of prisoners of war.-New York Times

VIII "Temporize no Longer"

Washington, April 15.-With majority
of the ships of the American Navy under
orders to-day to proceed Immediately to
the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts of Mexico,
the United States Government gave Pro-
visional President Huerta final warning
that unless salute were fired to the Stars
and Stripes within reasonable time to
atone "for repeated offenses against the
rights and dignity of the United States, !"
serious eventualities would result. It was
learned to-day that Gen. Huerta, when
apprised by Charge O'Shaughnessy of the
Atlantic fleet, argued that the episode
growing out of the arrest of American blue
jackets at Tampico was fit subject for
arbitration at the Hague, and that he would
appoint commission to investigate the
incident.
President Wilson, in an emphatic reply
through Charge 'Shaughnessy, is said to
have told Gen. Huerta that the time for
delay and evasion had passed and that
the American Government will temporize
no longer. Administration officers hold
that insults to the flag and questions of
National honor are not subjects for arbi-
tration.

A Pretty Home Wedding.

The first home wedding in our town for
some time was celebrated last evening at
$3.50 O'Clock at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. H. Scanland, the principals being their
youngest daughter, Miss Matte Belle
Scanland and Mr.. Ewing Montgomery, a
resident of Anaconda, Mont. Rev. j. M.
Brown of Haughton, for many years a
beloved minister in our midst, presided, the
ring service being followed by an excep-
tionally we'll chosen blessing.
Following the union of this young
couple was a reception, the small crowd
present, consisting mainly of the young
people of our town, massing here and
there, all joining in friendly and animated
conversation, partaking of punch, served
by Misses Irma Stinson and Marion Arnold,
and later of delicate edibles passed by
Mercer Virginia Gayle, Minnie Wyche,
Ruby Scott Ogden and Marjory Ogden.
AS the bride returned to the scene oil
reception, then gowned in travelling suit
she called attention to the wedding cake,
inviting all to follow her into the dining
room. The invitation was eagerly res
pended to and the scene of some minutes

around the cake furnished no small quota
of excitement and merriment. Miss lola
Keoun of Plain Dealing, daughter of DR..
and Mrs. T. N. Keoun, drew the ring, Fate
thus decreeing that she is to be an early
bride. Those present were jubilant over
her good fortune, their peals of laughter
reverberating throughout the entire house.
Mr.. Montgomery comes well spoken OF.
Following stay of only few days in
Benton he has made a number of new
friends, several of whom expressed their
pleasure over the choice of the young lady
| in her LIES companion. This was, as the
writer sees it, purely an affair of the heart,
the effervescing happiness of the couple
being noticeable On all occasions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Montgomery departed
about 10:30 O'Clock by private conveyance
for Shreveport, and will leave that city to-
night at nine o'clock for visit to points
of interest along the Pacific Coast before
proceeding to Anaconda, their future
home.
| Guests from distance were two of the
BRIDES schoolmates-MissT allulah Lips
comb of Nashville, Tenn, and Miss Marie
Meek of Lexington, Miss.-and Mrs. John
Nj. Scanland of Warm Springs, Mont, who
is accompanied by her pretty little baby
girl, Ellen Adele.
