The republicans are getting in
shape to hold their presidential
convention in Chicago on June
fth and W. G. Harding of Ohio
has been appointed temporary
chairman. __________
. The fighting still continues
fierce before Verdun and it is
estimated that 200,000 men have
been lost by both sides. The
Germans still seem to be gaining
ground.
The American troops are now
reported on a warm trail after
Villa and it is thought he will be
speedily captured. But old Villa
is a slippery cuss and we can’t
most always sometimes tell.
It has been reported and con-
tradicted several times that Car-
ranza has consented to give the
use of the railways for the for-
warding of supplies to our troops
in Mexico, Whether he has or
not, we are using them neverthe-
less and the wily rascal would
have it appear to his people that
he has' given no consent.
The Mexican bandits haye
pulled off another massacre by
wrecking a railway train near
Torreon and murdering some
fifty persons, including women
and children. These cowardly
murderers are great at killing
the defenseless and unarmed,
but when they come in contact
with Uncle Sam’s regulars they
throw down their arms and run.
A good sized crowd took ad-
vantage of the Mansfield excur-
sion train which started at Eagle
Lake and took in Columbus,
Weimar, Sehuienburg, Flatonia,
Moulton and Shiner. There were
five coaches to the train arid all
seemed to be pretty well filled,
but how many of them were vot-
ers it would be impossible to say.
Judge Mansfield’s address at
Yoakum while not brilliant in
oratorical effects was a sound
and sensible talk on conditions
in the Ninth congressional dis-
trict and the remedies required
for bettering them. Not once
did he bring in the names of his
opponents, which should serve
as a gentle reminder to some of
Mis too over-zealous newspaper
f riends in this part of the district,
most of whom are newcomers.
The Krauskopf Case.
Ed. Krauskopf, aged 25, and
Mis brother- in-law,Henry Jansky,
aged about 25, were brought in
heavily hand-cuffed, from the
Sweet Home-Yoakum section
Sunday on the 2:48 train by
Deputy Sheriff Oscar Shoemake
and lodged in jail charged with
the murder of Mrs, John Kraus-
kopf, the mother of Krauskopf
and the mother-in-law of J ansky.
The alleged' killing was at the
Mime of Mr. and Mrs. Kraus-
kopf, which is on the main Sweet
Home and Yoakum road half
way between the two towns.
Ed. Krauskopf lives with Ms par-
ents while Jansky lives nearby.
It seems to be pretty clearly
established that the trouble arose
from a drunken row between
seyeral men on' the place. It is
said that the woman tried to sep-
arate the combatants and was
struck down and then trampled
on, causing death.
The row at which Mrs. Kraus-
kopf (aged 55) is supposed to have
been hurt, debarred Thursday
night and her deathf olio wed Sat-
urday night.—Halletsville New
Just Arrived From Collins County.
All sound and well broke. Running in ages from 4 to 8

Why Constipation injures.
The bowels are the natural sewerage
system of the body. When they be-
come obstructed by constipation a
part of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed into
the system, making you. feel dull and
stupid, and interfering with the diges-
tion and assimilation of food- This
condition is quickly relieved by Cham-
berlain's Tablets. Obtainable every-
where (Adv.)

estimated by the United States

carloads.
Safe Medicine
For Children
“Is it safe V” is the first question to
be considered when buying cough\ med-
icine for children. Chamberl\ain’s
Cough Remedy has long been a fa'.vor-
ite with:, mothers of young childrens as
it contains no opium or other narco tic
and may be given to a child as con-
fidently as to an adult. It is pleasant
to take, too, which is of great import-
ance when a medicine must be giyen\
to young children. This remedy is
most effectual in relieving coughs,
colds and croup. Obtainable every-
where. (Adv.)
