THE GOSSARD CORSETS-THEY LACE IN FRONT
The*front lacing is the latent innovation in corsetry. It has been well tested and found good and is standardized.
We carry a complete line ofjhis famous corset in Slock.
Do not accept a careless
fitting. Get it right and
then you will enjoy the
compensation of poise,
eredt figure, flat abdomen,
expanded chest and deep,
full breathing followed by
better health, brighter
eyes, elearer complexion;
yes, all of these from wear-
ing the right corset-a Gos-
sard corset correctly fitted.
Because it makes you
stand right and breathe
right. Ask your physician.
Prices $3.50, 5.00, 6.50,
8.00,8.50. While Mrs.
Doolittle was in our 3tore
demonstrating and fitting
the Gossard Corset she
instructed our saleslady in fitting cor-
sets. You can be fitted perfectly by
Mrs. Williams. Come in and let her
show you the new models.
The complete satisfaction
enjoyed by the wom^n
who “ feels” well dressed is
beyond price. The corset
is the Style foundation, and
when perfedt—when_ it
“feels” right—there radiat-
es from it, Grace, Beauty
and Elegance. Comfort
follows naturally and
health results, q The Gos-
sard Designing Committee
strives daily to achieve
perfection in Gossard cor-
sets. Entirely original and
newly discovered secret
methods make Gossard
corset best in design; best
in construction; best, in
that they do more in im-
proving and conserving
your figure; and best in
the Style they contribute.

SITUATION IS SERIOUS
L, IN OLD MEXICO.
Rebel Leader Says Protection Here-
tofore Extended to American*
Will Be Withdrawn.
COLEMAN TO BE THE
CLEANEST TOWN
0- El Paso, Texas, July 29.—Declar-
\ in(t that he did not care for Ameri-
cans or the American government,
General Salazar, the second in rank
in the command of, the rebel army in
Mexico, spoke yesterday at Pearson,
Madera and Chihuahua. He said
among other things that all the
Americans within the rebel zone
would be disarmed and that the rebel
guarantee of protection to all for-
eigners would be withdrawn.
These speches followed General
Salazar’s orders to disarm the Mor-
mons at Colonia Dublan Saturday
night. The colonists surrendered one
hundred rifles and fifteen thousand
rounds of ammunition. They then
sent the women and children to this
place. Five hundred of them arrived
here this morning, and others are on
the way. The rebels told the Mor-
mons that they could expect no fur-
y ther protection and Salazar said he
was acting under orders from Gener-
al Orozco, head of the rebel forces.
The Mormons were told that it was
the intention of the rebels to bring
about intervention if such a thing
was possible.
To F°rce Intervention.
W Many American families have left
Madera and are also fleeing from
Pearson and Dolores as fast as they
can get away.
0* El Paso is over-run with refugees.
The Americans who have arrived here
say that they expect that all Ameri-
can property will be destroyed. It is
reported that the American mining
camp at Dolores is being looted.
Louis Lach, a Mormon colonist, says
Gon. Salazar told us at Pearson and
Casas Grandes, that if intervention
did not come \ioon a massacre tf
A Americans would begin , and would
.S continue until the United States did
W intervene."
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank our many
friends, in Coleman and elsewhero
for thd kind attention and sympathy
shown us during the sickness and
death of our wife and mother.

INNOVATIONS IN LOS
ANGELES CHARTER
utility or the city’s taxing power, by
using city credit or invoking the aid
of condemnation.
When some men can’t act mean,
they talk mean.
Los Angeles, Cal., July- 28.—The
Los Angeles city charter revision com
mission is considering innovations in
the proposed new charter that will
give the instrument a freak claim
upon the attention of the country.
The innovations probably will be
adopted.
Municipal Ownership.
Among other things it is proposed
to incorporate provisions for owner-
ship and operation by the city ofj
banks, railroads, dairies, cheese fac-
tories, undertaking establishments,
pawn shops, theaters, with sufficient
additional latitude to permit almost
all other pursuits and transactions
for the promotion of the public
health, morals, education and wel-
fare, or for the amusement, recrea-
tion, entertainment or benefit to the
people.
The plan is to adopt the commis-
sion form of government. Seven
Commissioners are to be elected, not
to any specified positions, but to be
assigned after their election to the
heads of the various departments by
the mayor, who is to be selected by
the seven from among themselves af-
ter they are elected.
The charter draft provides that the
seven Commissioners shall be desig-
nated as follows:
Seven Commissioners.
The Mayor, who shall be the Com-
missioner of Public Safety, u Com-
missioner of Public Utilities, one of
Public Works, one of Harbors- and
Transportation, one of Finance, one
of Public Welfare and one of Libra-
ries and Parks.
In addition to these there shall bo
officers of the Municipality, a Con-
troller, five members of the Civil Ser-
vice Board, nine members of the |
Municipal Board, five members of the -
Board of Education, a City Attorney, J
a City Prosecutor or a Public Defen-
der, a City Clerk and Police Judge;'. I
The charter draft provides that the j
city may establish bureaus of build-,
ings and monuments, spires, domes
and towers of houses of religious
worship when authorized by ordin-
ance.
Provision is made for the acquisi-
tion of all utilities and the properties
pertaining to them by an amortiza-
tion fund out of the earnings of each

Threat of Massacre Causes Exodus
from Mexico.
El Paso, Texas, July 29.—Ordered
by Gen. Salazer to leave Mexico im-
mediately or be massacred, 500
American women and children, mem-
bers of colonists' families at Pearson,
Casas Grandas, Colonia and Dublan,
arrived in El Paso today.:
Five hundred more are en route,
and more than 2000 others will come
as soon as transportation can be
provided.
It is planned to erect a tented city
near Ft. Bliss to care for the Amer-
icans who [will arrive in the next
three days.
The exodus follows raids upon the
American colonies and the seizure of
all arms, ammunition and horses.
Rcsistence was overcome by superior
forces.
Salazer is quoted as saying he
"wanted no American dogs in Mex-
ico."
At Dadera, where there is a big
American lumber plant, Americans
refused to give up their arms and
erected a high fence about the plant.
They notified the rebels they will
fight. A battle 's said to be inevit-
able unless the rebels retire.

Cincinnati Inquirer:
Nagolas, Ariz.—One of the most
wonderful caves in the world has
been found in Southern Arizona. Un- j
named, unexplored, and almost un- i
known is the vast cavern. Only a !
few persons have dared enter to view
its grandeur and to study the wond-
rous work of nature.
The cave lies in the foothills of the
Hunchua Mountains, about 40 miles
northwest of Nogales, Santa Cruz
county. Exploring parties have en-
tered and spent days inside, but none
has discovered the end.
They report passageways, rooms
and chambers innumerable, some
enormous in size, of transparent stal-
actitic columns.
One party returning said that im-
mense stalactite columns extending
from roof to floor may be seen on
either side of the entrance. As they
preceded their downward journey the
formations became more interesting
until they found themselves in a laby-
rinth of passages resembling hall-
ways, windows or entrances into
other rooms or chambers, in which
appear stalacitites in thin sheets,
round, square and in fact in almost
all shapes conceivable, from a few
inches to thirty feet in length.
In the first chamber a most beau-
tiful stalactite rises from the floor
Episcopal Church Tent Services Be-
gin Sunday Night.
As previously announced in the
columns of this paper, there will be
a weak's mission of the Protestant
Episcopal church held in Coleman,
beginning at 8:15 p. m. Sunday, Aug.
4th. Service will be held three times
a day in the Portable church or Tab-
ernacle, to be erected Saturday on
the H. N. Beakley lot between Mrs.
Luckett’s and Mrs. Polk’s residences v
on West Pecan street. Rev. E. C.
Seaman, regularly in charge of the ^
Episcopal church work here, is to be1
assisted by Rev. Edwin Weary, who
will do most of the preaching. Arch-
deacon Weary is a most talented and v
consecrated Christian worker. He
has been a missionary in Labrador,
and has at various times and places
conducted most successfully just
such services as are arranged for
Coleman. He is now living in Ama-
rillo. There will be special music,
as well as congregational singing of
the old familiar hymns. A cordial
invitation is extended to all. The
Tabernacle seats comfortably 240
persons, and it is hoped that it will
be filled from the very first.
No woman ever fully forgave her
husband for not being a hero.
