There are few items which appear
in this paper more important to Mex
clio people than the statement pub
lished below. In the first place, it is
from a citizen of MexicQ and can be

Timely Warning.

Don't wait until the last minute but
act as 1901 as the first indications Of
a bilious attack appear, and you can
usually ward it off. You have timely
warning as your appetite fails some
hours before the attack appears and
you keep on eating because it is meal
time. Skip n meal and take a dose
of C~hamberlain's Tablets and the at
tack can as a rule be prevented and all
the distressing symptoms avoided.

len Mexico thursday evening ahead
a No 81 fast stock train. as IL
aometnes does = serious wreck might
have resulted from what proved 20 be
a ehild's method Of establishing
stopping place for his own benefit.
The cattle train rather heavily load
ed had lost much Of is speed on the
grade about two miles east Of this
city. and coming 10 the clear prairie
stretch was picking up again when
the engineer saw a pile Of ties on the
track ahead. He stopped his engine
and got out TO remove the obstrue-
ton.
Finds Boy Lying in the Grass.
Mounting 10 the cabin. he started
his train of in the direction Of st.
Louis again. Hardly a quarter Of a
mile farther a second and larger pile
of ties was sighted in the track.
Stopping il was discovered that the
stack was scientifically arranged and
wired TO the rails. Il was braced from
the rear to make a greater resistance
to any-east-bound train.
And then, a person was noticed ly-
ing in the grass some distance from
the tracks. He was caught and proved
to be only a little Bohemian boy, who
said he was fourteen years old and
wanted to GO home TO st. Louis. The
train crew took him to Martinsburg
and there turned him over to the City
Marshal. &.
Brought to Mexico for Imprisonment.
As usual, rumors crept out of the
big attempt at train robbery" and
the report came to Mexico late Thurs
day evening that one of the despera-
does had been captured an dthe other
one was headed "this way" Sheriff J.
G. Ford and. Ed Young, Wabash
detective for the Western Division,
drove from this city to investigate the
matter.
It was found that only one person
had taken part in the incident. They
went on to Martinsburg, then, brought
him back to Mexico where he is lodged
in the county Jail, awaiting trial in
the circuit court.
Was Going Home to Mother.
The lad gave his name as Anthony
Wosmannsky, and his home as 2342
: Hickory, st. Louis. He declared he was
only fourteen years old and had run
away from home to work for a farm
er in the harvest fields. He said an
E other boy, somewhat older, had come
], with him, but had given him the slir
: here and left him alone.
Anthony was seen by the Wabash
: flagman here about 5 o'clock Thurs.
day evening crying, and said he want
= ed to go to his mother, but the flag
man failed to turn him over to the
E proper authorities.

he is wailing in the Audrain county

t Robert Lochridge, a farmer who lives

WILL GO TO ANY LENGTH

The constitution provides that the amendments
must get majority of all the votes cast to carry
to become part of the state constitution. From
the returns it would seem that most of them failed
of getting majority of the votes cast, but that
does not dampen the enthusiasm of the Courier
News, who edtorially intin,ates that the consti-
tuition does not mean that and has a half yelled
threat that the supreme court will be called upon
to pass upon the matter and that when the court
gets through with this job the amendments will
carry.
We dom know what the supreme court will do
but we do know that the socialist administration
under Mr.. Townley's 5dictation will go to all the
extremes of Boshevikism to carry out his pet
scheme-Valley City Times Record.

NO TRUE REVOLUTION IN GERMANY

The people of Germany are used to being led.
They do not know the alphabet Of sef-command.
Three years ago Liebknecht said: Germany will
not revolt The Germans have been made like
sheep. Sheep do not rvolt.'
The government of the German empire and its
petty principalities is now in the hands of men
trained under autocracy. The German people do
not see in the flight of William their opportunity
to escape autocracy, as the French people saw it
in the capture of Napoleon ILL., at Sedan. ..-4'
France had more than hundred years of strug-
Cling and dying for democracy before Sedan swept
away the usurping Napoleon the Little. But Ger
many has passed through no such purifying fire
of suffering. It has not experienced the consum-
ing desire of liberty that made the French republic
possible and ploriously permanent. Germany is
land of human flccks and herds. Food will keep
Germany quiet. This is the reason why the pam
Germans who still rule at Berlin are frantically
calling on America for food. Hunger is their
only menace. Any government that car. feed the
German people will have the solid support of the
German people.
A true republic has soul. It cannot come into
existence without soul. A national soul is not
created in day. It does not rise out of an incl
dent Let us not deceive ourselves about Ger
many; by thinking that il is grooming to deliver
itself from its tyrant rulers. It is merely grunting
for something to eat A people cannot develop a
soul merely because it's stomach is empty.-Min-
