ROB, NEARLY KILL
HIGH School LAD
Raymond Turner, of Village
Green, Beset by Two Men
and Left Unconscious
HIS WATCH AND MONEY
TAKEN AFTER ATTACK

CHESTER, Pa, Oct 27.--Raymond,
16-year-old son of James II. Turner,
a prosperous farmer of Village Green,
was the victim of two bold highway
men yesterday on his way to this city.
where he is a student at the Chester
High School. He was robbed and
beaten and left on the highway in
an unconscious condition, while the
thugs escaped.
Young Turner was found some time
later by Jesse Smedley. a farmer of
Village Green, on his way to this city
with milk. Smedley placed the un-
conscious student in his wagon and
returned with all speed to the home
of his father in Village Green, where
physicians worked with him several
hours. when he showed signs of con-
sciousness, but was unable to give
any clear account of what had oc-
cured. IL was ascertained in a
search of his clothing that his watch
money and several other valuables
had been stolen.
The sceen of the murderous assault
and hold-up was on the Concord road
at what is commonly known as
"Baldwin's Run place with repu-
tation of fights and hold-ups at night
but considered safe enough at the
time young Turner was waylaid, al
o'clock in the morning.

ITCHING IRRITATION
Worst Form of Skin Trouble Quickly
Relieved by Inexpensive Treatment.

When you suffer with any skin trou-
hle, even though the itching seems un-
bearable. do not think that it is neces.
sary 50 use some disgusting, greasy
ointment. Try Hokara. a pure and stint
pie cream, that is guaranteed to contain
no grease or acids and which is so
cleanly that it does not soil the linen.
Its power to instantly relieve any ir-
rtation Of the skin and make it soft,
white and beautiful is almost miracu-
lous.
Not only do minor skin troubles like
pimples, blackheads, acne. BARRIERS itch,
etc, quickly disappear. but the worst
ulcers or cases OF salt rheum or eczema
are ceansed ana healed by this wonder
ful skin food,
In order that anyone may try Hokara
at small expense, \ B. Danforth's Drug
Store, Market and Second streets, are
selling a liberal-sized jar at 25c, and in
addition guarantee TO refund the money

claimed for it,

GENERAL WILSON Tells
CHURCHMEN ABOUT mexico

General James II. Wilson delivered
an interesting address before the
members of the Baraca Glass Of Nc
Cabe Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Church last night, in which he told OF
the events and circumstances which
produce frequent revolutions In Mex
leo and cause turbulence and disorder
to be prevalent through the republic.
He traced briefly the history of Mex
leo from the time of the conquest Of
the country by Cortez in l5l9-2l TO
the present time. He declared that the
basis for all the disturbances which
have occurred In Mexico during the
years succeeding the conquest OF the
country was made when the conquer
ors enslaved all the natives and con
fiscatad the lands.
Speaking OF the condition Of the
people of Mexico at the present time,
he declared that OF the approximate
16,000,O0Q population IN the country,
but 100000 are white, and probably
another I 100000 are persons Of mixed
race. the remainder being Indians,
who are held as worthy OF no consid-
GRAFTON by the other two classes,
especially the whites. The condition
OF this class and the desire to be-
come free have caused much of the
disorder Of the past, General Wilson
declared
General Wilson regretted that the
United States had not. when the op-
portunity presented itself following
the Mexican War, secured the seven
northern states Of Mexico. He declar
ed that the territory was one abound
ing in mineral wealth. and using thi
territory which was secured an tha

A reservation Indian was disconso-
late over the breaking Of his ak
handle. He laid his misfortune before
the farmer" of the reservation, who,
through pity, took a new handle from
his private stock and adjusted 1t to the
ak. The farmer" then noticed that
the ak was shockingly dull, so, mo-
tioning the owner to turn the grind
stone, he expended half-hour's time
in sharpening the blade. When the
rehabilitated ak was given to the In
dian he was childishly gleeful, but still
fingered about, indicating by his &C
ton that some feature OF the trans.
action had not been adjusted. The
farmer was little annoyed, and
called to an interpreter.
ASK the old fellow what he wants
now" he directed.
After an exchange OF grunts and
gestures the interpreter announced
"He wants twenty-five cents"
twenty-five cents! What for?"
For turning the grindstone."

THE TAILOR MADE MAID

The tailor made costume is again
coming to it's own, the swagger well
fitting coat and skirt, sever neckwear
and hat. But II is not every woman
who can afford to risk the severity
because a multitude of defects can be
covered by frills and ruffles.
A tailor made gown, since 1t is the
last word of smooth and beautiful
excellence, calls for the last word in
a smooth and beautiful complexion
The face with few or many black
heads cannot or should not consort
with it until it has been cleansed of
them.
These things, of course go without
saying. but particular not always
as carefully considered in the matter
of complexion. The plain, smooth
lines of the costume do not fail to
show forth all the more glowingly
the soft contour Of cheek and chin,
the luster Of the eyes, the curves and
freshness of the lips.
Small use indeed to take pains In
having the right color and texture
the right coat and perfect fit, the
spick and span and lacy neck fixing

the eye shallow skin or one rough

A course of treatment is we'll worth
its cost for many reasons, and Ger
tainly it is a wise expenditure o.
money If the complexion is so shabby
that the new tailored suit shall blu
make it look more dingy. Not al
skins need much done, some very lit
tie, while others, like well worl
choirs need complete refurnishing.
