 States Chief Executive in Special Statemnt

that in ten years nearly five thou sand persons had been killed, and one hundred and forty thousand in- jured on the highways of the state. I said that I was profoundly ashamed of that record. Unfortu- nately there is nothing we can now do about the deaths which have already occurred. There is left for us only grief and sorrow, but we can make every effort to prevent further accidents and deaths. The number of fatalities this year is considerably less than it was a year ago. This is undoubtedly due to ,4le exercise of greater care. If the citizens of the state will make a united effort, much can be accom- plished.
 we admire the medical profes- sion because it is devoted to the saving of human life and the les sening of human suffering. Here is an opportunity for each one of us to help save lives and prevent in- juries by driving and walking with care on our streets and highways"

Ambushed by bandits

Ambushed by bandits. :: Deep in the tropical jungle of Nicaragua ten U S. Marines were engaged III the routine task of repairing telephone line in Dece
 ber 193O when sudden hail of leaden death blazed forth from all sides It the only time in history that an entire Marine unit either killed or wounded in single engagement Ten miles from their base at Ocotal the severed telephone wire had been found and marine climbed the pole to repair it, while others busted them selves on the ground beneath. At the first burst ot hostile fire the the pole hudded to the ground with bullet through his head The remaining nine depoyed for battle against unseen foe For more than two hours the unequal battle continued with the marines surrounded all sides by the bandits and rarely catch ing glimpse of their attackers. Hidden marksmen picked the trapped off at time. Finally when only half of them remained alive, one marine was directed to crawl through the hostile lines to seek help The messenger was wounded before he fairly started on his mission and the remaining marines settled down to sell their lives dearly they could Meanwhile friendly native had carried the to ocota and relief party hurried to the rescue arriving to find only two ot the original ten men alive. One the messenger the other private, and both were badly wounded. The
 marines had stuck to their guns asking no quarter fighting until all either dead or wounded while estimates placed the bandit casualties eleven killed and
 four wounded It the worst disaster that the marines suffered in Nicaragua but was bravey fought against overwhelming odds without thought of flight or sur render. Log of the U. s. Marines.

If your liver doesn't secrete 20 to 30 ounces of bile every day into your intes- tines constipation with its headaches. mental dullness and that ''half-aliye' feeling often result. So you see how in- portant it is to keep bile flowing freelyl And what finer aid could one desire than Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, used SO successfully for years by Dr. F. M. Edwards for treating his patients for constipation and sluggish liver bile.
 Olive Tablets are unsurpassed in ef- fectiveness because they stimulate liver bile to help digest fatty foods, they tone up muscular intestinal action at the same time help elimination.

New Peak Predi(ted
In Building Revival
For Coming Year
F. W. Dodge Corp. Says
1889 TotoI May Near

Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The F. w.
Dodge Corp, compiler of data for
the building industry, forecast yes
terday construction contracts in 81
States East of the Rocky Noun
tains in 1889 may approximate So
500, 100000, the highest figure of the
recovery from the extremely low
building levels of 1888 and 1884.
The 1889 estimate would compare
with an indicated total of s3,200,0 ,000-
900 this year and the actual total
of $4,000, 900 900 in 1887. The total
went as low as s1,255, ,708, 900 in 1888,
partly accounted for by cheaper
construction costs then.
Repair and maintenance work are
not included in the figures.
Thomas S. Holden, vice president
in charge of research, cited various
forces at work for further indus
trial expansion, including building,
but cautioned against excessive op-
timiSm.
The building revival trend, he
noted, might be hampered next year
by another rising spiral of costs,
international troubles or private
projects may not be brought out
fast enough to offset the expected
tapering of public works in the Sec
ond half of 1899.
The Dodge organization figured
residential, commercial and public
utility construction in 1889 may in
crease by about one-third over this
year and factory building might
double.
