HIRAM EVIDENTLY A SNORER
Faithful Wife Thought She Rec
ognized Porcine Lamentations as
Made by Her Lord and Master.

An amazingly fat couple boarded a
sleeping car just before the train
pulled out Of the Pennsylvania station
In New York, and soon retired, the
woman taking the lower berth and the
man the upper Of a section. 1t was
necessary to enlist the aid of the por-
ter and a couple Of friendly passen-
gers to enable the man to attain to
his lofty couch, but it was accom-
plished and the car presently became
quiet.
Some time during the night the
train was held up on a siding and, as
it happened, the sleeping car was
stopped right alongside a car loaded
with uncomfortable and loudly protest
ing hogs, the noise Of whose lamenta-
lions ascended to the stars.
"Oh, Lord !" the occupant of the low

CHIHUAHUA CITY IS
IN HANDS OF REBELS
Gales Announces Capture Of
One Of Largest Cities In
North Mexico.

Aqua Prieta, Sonora - chihuahua
City, capital of the state of the same
name, is definitely in the hands OF
the revOlutionists, it was announced
by General P. Elias Gales Saturday.
Chihuahua City is one of the largest
cities in Northern Mexico. 1t has
population of approximately 10000.
General Ignacio Enrique, candidate
for governor of Chihuahua, according
to General Gales, was at Santa Ysabel
with 1900 state militia, marching
toward Chihuahua to reinforce Gen.
eral Eugenio Martinez and Colonel
Francisco Arco, former federal COM
mander, who deserted with their
troops.
TeIegraphic communication was es"
tablished between Chihuahua City,
Santa Ysabel, Hermosillo, capital OF
Sonora, and military headquarters Sat-
urday. General Gales said he was
in direct communication with General
Enrique.
The revolutionists control virtually
all Northern Chihuahua, it was said,
with the exception of Juarez, opposite
Ell Paso, Tex, and Casas Grandes,
near the Sonora boundary.
At Casas Grandes Carranza troops
have been concentrating for three
weeks for an attempt to invade So
nora and wrest the state from the
revolutionary leaders.
The revolutionists claim they have
between 5000 and 5000 troops under
their command in Chihuahua. These
include infantry, cavalry and defense
societies" or home guards"
General Gales issued statement
which said in part:
"The revolution is sweeping for
ward beyond all expectations. In less
than ninety days Carranza will be
deposed. Justice once more will pre-
vail then in Mexico. The Carranza
forces are revolving so rapidly there
is no failure"

Mrs. A. L. Fromme, of this place,
says: 81 had for some time used {. . {.
and other liver medicines, which
would nauseate and make me feel bad.
We have a store, and our customers
called for Black.Draught so often that
l decided it must be good, so thought
would try it myself.
" began its use and found 1t just
fitted my case. 1t neither griped nor
nauseated me, was an easy laxative
and not hard to take.
"I had had headaches a great deal,
no doubt from torpid liver. The
Black -Draught would cure them. The
best way I find to take Black-Draught
is to take one or two good sized doses
until the liver begins to act, then taper
the doses to just a pinch after meals.
'Tt will insure good digestion, do
away with the gas or bad taste in the
mouth and is without doubt the best
liver medicine in the market. l have
found it so. 1 can recommend it to
my friends, for l believe it will do
them good"

Colonel Osborn also quoted from the
editorial addressed by Bromley to
Eugene V. Debs, in 1894, just after the
Socialist leader had first been jailed
for his radical activities against the
government. The editorial was in the
form of an apostrophe and said in
part:
"That was felicitous figure Of
yours when you told the fellows who
were playing your game to stand pat
Risky, to be sure. But not your risk.
They were playing with their own chips
and there was very large jackpot on
the table. Isn't there something they
call tho widow in the game? We're
you the widow? What haul you would
have had if your bluff hadn't been
called! 1t was stiff game you played,
Eugene. But your fellows made mis-
take in standing pat against the United
