Ell Paso, Texas, March 16.-Ameri-
can troops will cross the border from
Columbus, N. NJ. today, according to
an apparently authentic report re.
ceived here, although no official con-
firmation is at hand.
A strict embargo on news out of
Columbus, N. NJ, was the order given
at Fort Sam Houston, where Major
General Frederick Funston was ar
ranging the final details of the expedi-
ton. In military circles an attitude of
expectancy succeeded the Tightening
of the censorship.
Telegraph Office Seized.
Giving as his reason for the action
the fact that the news dispatches were
making public all the essential facts
that he is trying to keep secret from
Villa, General Funston sent orders to
General Pershing to seize the tele-
graph Office at Columbus, guard the
telephone wires and other routes to
telegraph stations in nearby towns.
Leave Behind "SurpIus Kit"
The commanding officers of the ex-
peditionary force issued orders that
the men should take with them only
such equipment as they could carry
ON their backs or saddles Extra
clothing and the equipment known in
the army as the surplus kit" will be
left behind.
These orders were intended to lin.
it carrying facilities to the essentials
of the expedition and drink for
for the guns. Large quantities of am.
munition for the mountain howitzers
and field guns which had been assem-.
bled here were distributed.
Watch for Action on Border.
Combat wagons" which carry am
munition for the soldiers rifles, were
loaded and the engineers, and signal
corps were supplied with the final de-
tails of their equipment.
The commander of the expedition
and his staff were working at high
pressure all day completing their ar.
rangements. Such of the soldiers who
were not too busy unloading the trans
port trains which moved in and out
of the railroad yards hourly thronged
exery eminence or bit of high ground,
watching eagerly for any signs of &C
tivity on the other side of the inter.
national line. Many times reports
came in that bodies of Mexicans had
been seen maneuvering to the south,
but there was nothing to confirm any
belief that there were any hostile
forces near the border
Carranza Garrison Leaves.
Apparently authenticated informa
ton was received to the effect that
the CarranZa garrison at Palomas had
departed south for an unknown desti-
nation. This force was sent to the
frontier after the Villa raid.
None of the officers of the Amer
can expeditionary force would make
any statement or intimation as to
when the punitive expedition would
receive the eagerly awaited word to
cross the imaginary line between Mex
leo and the United States.

"The Fashions" Opening.

All day long on Monday, the open
ing day, Palatka's new store, "The
Fashion," was crowded with ladies
who came to inspect the new store
and stock. The crowd did not stop
with Monday but has continued every
day this week, so that by this time
most of the ladies of this city and a
good part of those who have visited
the city from the country are familiar
with the store and the elegant assorrt-
ment of ready-to-wear goods carried.
1T is certainly a beautiful store"
remarked one well-known society lady
of this city. "and there is assembled
a remarkable variety of coat suits,
coats, dresses, skirts and waists of
the most modern patterns and mate
rails such as few cities of Palatka's
size are permitted to boast of. True
the stock is not as large as in the
bigger cities, but this Mr.. Fruchtman
explained in the statement that they
had difficulty in getting in all their
purchases, but that new goods We're
coming in daily. But what Palatka
ladies' will be most concerned about
is the fact that in this store we can
be assured of the latest fashions and
materials, and most of all the very
reasonable prices which these young
and aggressive merchants have placed
upon their goods. This is one store
in Palatka that should have the en-
couragement of our ladies'"
1--WE didn't expect a large trade at
the opening" said Mr.. Maurice
Fruchtman. "but have been surprised
and gratifed at the business we have
done this week. 1t is certainly en-
couraging. New goods are coming
in constantly and we shall always be
glad to show them, even to those who
have already purchased. That's
what we want now-the ladies tt
know our store, our merchandise anC
our prices"

WOMAN'S CLUB HOUSE
In PaIatka-A Worthy OF
iect-HoW You Can
Help.

The Woman's Club of Palatka will
get out a special edition of the Pa
latka News on November II for the
benefit of the Woman's Club house.
The edition will be very timely pub
lication for Palatka as it will pre-
sent Putnam County's advantages in
a very interesting way for the bene-
fit of the visitors during the Farmers
Convention November 21-24, and will
supply q deficiency that exists today
as there are very few of the Board of
Trade booklets on Palatka left, and
the demand is sure to exceed the sup
ply.
The ladies in charge have planned
to print enough papers to meet the
requirements of the visitors for pub
lished matter to mail to their friends,
and the merchants of Palatka should
patronizc this edition as it will be to
their advantage to do so. Aside
from the benefit they will get from
the advertising they will be giving de-
served aid to an institution that will
prove of material benefit to the city
directly and also to the merchants of
Palatka.
There was in the city a few weeks
ago a travelling man recently assign
ed to Florida territory who was un-
decided whether he would locate in
Palatka or Gainesville. He said that
his wife took an active interest in
civic affairs, and his choice of location
would be decided by conditions that
would be most pleasant for her. Had
Palatka had a woman's club house to
show this gentleman as evidence of
the civic activities of the good wo-
men of this city we have no doubt but
the newcomer to Florida would have
selected Palatka as his residence with
out any delay. AS there are several
persons in his family this would have
been the means of distributing a
thousand dollars or more every year
among the merchants. He went to
Gainesville.
Gentlemen of Palatka, assist the
GOOD ladies to build their club and to
make it one worthy of them and the
citv. 1t will prove of much more
material benefit to you than it will tc
them. Palatka can be made the most
attractive city in Florida for the fam
lilies of the travelling statesmen as 1t Is
the most convenient point at which
travelling man can reside. Let us fine

COUNTY DEMOCRATIC
| COMMITTEE CALLED
To Meet in this City Next
Tuesday to Inaugurate
Campaign.

Chairman ]. H. Haughton of the
Putnam County Democratic Executive
Committee has called meeting of
the committee in this city for next
Tuesday, Oct. 18th, at II o'clock a. M.
"This meeting," said Chairman
Haughton, twill be for the purpose of
inaugurating a vigorous campaign in
this county in behalf of all the nomi-
nees of the democratic party, from
president down to justice of the peace.
The democratic party is this year con-
fronted with spirit of independent
ism which this committee must do it's
utmost to suppress in the interests of
the party and good government. For
the first time in the recollection of
many the party has a break in its
ranks brought about by those who
have declared themselves above and
beyond allegiance to the will of the
democratic voters as expressed in the
recent democratic primaries of June
9Th, and it will be the duty of this
committee to declare it's unwavering
! allegiance to the party nominee from
the head of the ticket down, and to
frown upon every attempt at indie
pendent action, no matter by whom at
tempted. The time has not come in
Florida when the white people can af-
ford or risk a chance for republican
control, such as would surely follow
the election of an independent candi-
date to high office, and especially of
any man whose utterances are boldly
defiant of democratic principles and
precedent. Putnam county is in no
danger, take it, from these independ-
cuts or republicans, but as democrats
we must leave no duty undone look
ing to the preservation of honest gov
ernment and it's administration by
men who have been selected for SER
vice therein by the white voters of
the State"
