General Carranza
Has Strong Hold On
Mexican Situation

Washington, Aug. 23.-If the admin.
istration succeeds in ousting General
Carranza from his position as the domi-
nant factor in Mexico, at least for some
time. official circles will be surprised,
those well informed on the Mexican
situation confessed today.
There is ne doubt that he will direct
" defy the American republics confer
ence to interfere with him after estab'
fishing his headquarters in Mexico
City. Military authorities say it would
be out of the question to attempt to
reach Carranza at Mexico City with the
troops at the disposal of the United
States, and at all events the Latin-Am-
erican powers would oppose such a step.
The prospects of rival government,
recognized by outside powers making
headway against Caranza, are believed
to be fading. II seems more likely that
the Latin. American countries will rec
ognize the "first chief" This would
make it harder for the United States
TO enforce an arms embargo against
him, and the rival elements in Mexico
are also disintegfating.

Dimick, president of the Willamette
Valley Southern railway, confirms
the report that his road still intends
to extend its main line to Salem. He

was bonded for $3,000,000, but while
not all of that money was expended
in the construction of the road be-
tween Oregon City and Mount Angel,
it was agreed that further extensions
should not be made until the present
line was placed on. paying basis.
The road is taking care of its opera
ting expenses, but no more. Judge
Dimick says the business of the road
is constantly increasing and the ex'
tension to Salem will be constructed
as soon as conditions warrant the ex-
penditure of more money.
The road between Mount Angel
and Oregon City is being placed in
first class condition. Grades and
fills are being widened and switches
are being installed in Monitor and at
the Howard flour mills in Mulino
The $4,000 interlocking plant at Ore
gon City will be in use in short
time. The improvements under way

oVERWoRKED SToMACHS
x y 4 y i x y y x y y * 4

Daniel j. Fry, the popular druggist,
has been in the drug business long
enough to have his own opinion of the
best way of selling medicines. He says
the plan adopted by Mi-o-na, the great
dyspepsia remedy, is the fairest ne has
ever heard of. He doesn't believe that
medicine ought to be paid for unless
it does the user some good. And Miro
ma is sold under a positive guarantee
to relieve dyspepsia or to refund the
money. You simply leave 90 cents on
deposit with Daniel j. Fry and if, after
you have used the box of Mi.o-na you
decide that it has done you no good, all
You have to do is to tell him so and he
will return your money.
Hundreds of people have been relieved
of stomach agonies by using this re-
markable remedy. 1t is not simply a
food digester; it is medicine that puts
all of the digestive organs into normal
condition and gives ruddy, glowing, Wig
Orous health. A change for the better
will be seen after the first few doses
of Mona, and its continued use will
soon give the power to cat anything al
any time and not suffer distress after
ward.
Mi,o.na is sold under positive guar
antee to refund the money if it does
not cure. This is the strongest proof
that can be Offered as to the merit OF
the medicine.
Nothing lessons mans success il

MOTHER SYMPTOMS PROPHECY
Exchange,

Exchange.
/ would like to have Mother Ship
toms prophecy published in these col
ums.-H. G. Y, Columbus, Ohio.
Through the kindness of j. H. H.,
Sheridan, Mo-, the Bureau is enabled to
publish Mother Shipton's prophecy.
Mother Shipton was an English proph-
etess about whose existence there
seems to be no certainty, while there is
no doubt that many of the sapings at
tributed to her were fabricated by
others. According to S. Baker, who
published Mother Shipton's pretended
prophecies in 1897, she was born near
Knaresborough, Yorkshire, in July,
l4SSy>and baptized as Ursula Southiel,
She died, according to the same au-
thority, at over 10 years of age, but it
was not until 1641 that pamphlet ap.
.peared containing some of her alleged
predictions. In 1918 all of her prophe-
cies weres considered as having been
fulfilled In 1862 a prediction was made,
with Mother Shipton's name attached
to it, that the world would come to an
end in 1881 1t caused some excitement
among the ignorant. All events pre-
dicted have happened except the
prophecy in the last two lines:
Carriages without horses will 60,
And accidents fill the world with woe
Around the world thought shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do, 2
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold found at root of tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse nor ass be at his side.
Under water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in water shall float,
AS easy as wooden boat.
Gold shall be found mid stone,
In a land that's now unknown.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit Jew.
And this world to an end shall come,
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

Conscience Stricken Thief Rights "a

usual case in which a mans guilty
conscience led him to right a wrong
committed nearly quarter of a cen

Lien OF Roberts county received a
letter telling him that under separate
cover the writer was returning a gold
watch taken from Mr.. Lien twenty
four years ago at Eagle Grove, la.
The watch arrived and appears to be
in first class condition. considering
its age.
1t was twenty-four years ago this
summer that Mr.. Lien hung UP his
vest containing his watch in one of its
pockets. He was working at that
time in Eagle Grove. When he fin.
ished his work the watch was gone
He never found out who took it, not
even the letter containing this infor-
nation.
The thief has been forgiven as he
requested in his letter.

automobile accident through careless
ness of some one. He was driving at
night about ten miles northeast of

locking OF his wheels and the ma

ed that some one had left several
hundred feet of barb wire lying in
the roadway and this had been picked
up by one of the wheels and tangled
about the wheel and gear of the auto
in such manner that it took several
hours work with nippers and cold
chisel to cut away all the wire and
allow the machine to proceed.
