Cured His RUPTURE

I was badly ruptured while lifting
trunk several years ago. Doctors
said my only hope of cure was an
operation. Trusses did me no good.
Finally l got hold of something that
quickly and completely cured me.
Years have passed and the rupture
has never returned, although | am do
ing hard work as carpenter. There
was no operation, no lost time, no
trouble. Il have nothing to sell, but
will give full information about how
you may find complete cure without
operation, if you write to me. Eugene

a life or at least stop the misery OF
rupture and the worry and danger Of
an operation

 DELEGATES LEAVE
Delegates From Sixty Counties and American Indians Sail For
 London

New York, June 1.-When the Olympic steamed from South Hamp- tion Saturday she had in her passen- ger list seven hundred delegates to the worlds congress of the Salvation Army which assemblies at London June II
 The delegation was accompanied by four bras bands and one string band. Almost every nation of the world was represented. Every flag that flies in the sixty countries in which the Salvation Army operates was to be seen. The delegates were array ed in a sort of a modified cowboy costume. Miss Evangeline Booth led the delegation.
 On arrival in London the Comma der will mount an American horse she said, and with an American flag flying from the head of her steed lead her forces through the streets
 American Indians had place in this delegation, appearing in their feathers and war paint, but shouting hallelujah instead of hurling defiance at their foes.

and other of Senator Clarke's staunch friends.
 The band was engaged by local friends of Senator Clarke and after he had been taken to his headquarters the band remained in front of the ho- tel and gave a concert for half an hour.
 The senator was in very happy mood and met a number of callers in the hotel lobby before he repaired to his room.
 A large delegation accompanied Senator Clarke from the capital city and all joined in the parade to his headquarters. Chas. l.. Watkins, Sena- tor Clarke's private secretary at Little Rock and State Senator O. J. Witt of Pocahontas accompanied him.
 At the depot the Kirby and Clarke yells were evenly divided and while the band was playing Dixie" the sup porters of their respective candidates were throwing their hats into the air and shouting to the top of their voices.
 The advance guard of Arkansas poli- ticians from all parts of Arkansas ar rived in Pine Bluff all during yester- day and opened headquarters for the contestants in the senatorial squabble i before the state Democratic conven- 1 ton which convenes in this city We'd nesday.
 | Judge Wm. F. Kirby reached the city yesterday morning and personally took command of his headquarters at the Hotel Pines. During the day he received many callers and politicians were much in evidence in the Hobbies of both hotels and on the streets yes terday.
 Former railroad commissioner and Senator Clarke's campaign manager R. P. Allen, reached the city yester- day morning. Senator Clarke's head quarters will be at the Hotel Jeffer- son. Frank Kitchner of Helena with Mr. Allen, head of the Crawford coun- ty delegations, will have charge o1 Senator Clarke's headquarters.

Kirby Issues Challenge.

Judge Kirby issued the following statement late last night
 "There is no doubt but that there was a steal of 400 votes in Poinsett county for Senator Clarke. I know it.. I am satisfied that four-fifths of the people of the state concur in my be- lief I cannot but believe that there will be enough of honesty and fairness representing the Democratic party in the convention to fully investigate my charges or throw out the returns from Poinsett county.
 ct is not nearly so important that a particular man should represent the party and the state in the United States Senate as it is that frauds and election crookedness be condemned and prevented and that right and jus tice shall prevail in the counsels of the party. Senator Clarke with his control of the federal patronage should not be allowed to dominate the convention in his interests without re- gard to what is right.
 ''The 321 delegates from the 4S counties I carried as against the sos delegates from the 35 Clarke counties are instructed for me and by the rules of the party required to cast their vote in accordance with the in structions of the county as indicated by the returns.
 "There is ample time to order an- other election for the selection of a senator in the fall and am more than willing in the interests of justice and | fo; ;,, to with Senator Clarke throughout the state and l believe the convention should require it done unless, after a fair and full investigation of my charges, it finds that fraud has not been committed
 Senator Clarke was very jubilant last night over the fine reception ac corded him and said he was feeling in the best of health. When asked by a newspaper man whether ht would issue statement, he merel. said. "I have nothing more to say than that I am highly pleased witt the fine reception given me on m! arrival"
 After the arrival of Senator Clarke R P. Allen, his campaign manager gve out the following brief statement "The Clarke forces are still perfect 1 ly confident of his election. Th' organization has not yet been perfect ed, and then there are many matters 1 to be considered which will not b.
 reached until tomorrow"
 l When asked in regard to tempo
 rary chairman, Mr. Allen said: "Th
 naming of temporary chairman i
 in the hands of the committee, an, whatever action they take will b perfectly satisfactory to the Clark l forces"

MEXICANS THREATEN
 TO RESUME WAR CONTINUED FROM PAGE OWED

again this evening advised the Ameri- can representatives at Niagara Falls that the Huerta delegates must be conciliated.
 The state department is much dis turbed over the situation that has arisen at the peace conference, not only with the Huerta delegates, but with the A. B. c. mediators themselves.
 On the one hand are the Huerta delegates growing bitter because of a feeling that they are being used as pawns in game; on the other are the A. B. C. mediators ready to yield un- der protest on the question of admis- sion of Carranza's representatives.
 May Dissolve Conference.
 The fear is developing at the state department that the A. B. c. media tors, who have their own ideas about the way to settle the Mexican problem, may kick over the traces and dis solve the conference. From all that is learned here the! Huerta delegates would be quite willing to suggest such a course to the A. B. c. media tors, if the suggestion has not been made ready.
 Nothing has been accomplished at the peace parley-that is to the ex- tent of reaching single agreement. This was reiterated today with all possible emphasis by an official of the state department, who put it this way:
 "There has been no agreement at Niagara Falls on anything"
 Another official said:
 "We have scarcely begun at Niagara Falls. It is going to be all summer work, or a sudden collapse" Will Recognize CarranZa. The impression is stronger tonight than ever that this government will recognize Carranza as the defacto pro- visional president of Mexico for time at least, as the temporary solution of the problem.
 The belief here tonight is that the A. B. c. mediators will yield to the United States and admit the represen- tatives of Carranza. So far as known they will go in on the footing he has insisted upon all the time-that they will participate in negotiations for the settlement of Mexico's international controversy but will not consent to mediation of the republics internal af- fairs.
