tion Will Result in the Establish
ment of Peace.
The Dias oablnet resigned In a body
st a special meeting of that board Fri
day.
The reason given for the action in

lishment of peace and facilitate the
reforms which are in contemplation.
Enrique C. Creel, minister of foreign
relations, presented the resignation in
behalf of all of the ministers.

nounced that he would postpone his

The resignation included that of
Ramon Corral as minister of the de

ing to the department of the interior

4. dispatch from El Paso, Texas,
Widespread political reforms in
Mexico, with the abolition of direct
federal control of the jefes politicos
and popular election of governors of
states, are seen by the revolutionary
Junta here in the announcement of the
resignation of the cabinet.
Whether the cabinet’s retirement
would have the effect of allaying the
Insurrection, the revolutionary leaders
would not say. They preferred, they
said, to await immediate developments
expected at the Mexican capital.
The following statement was Issued:
"If the insurrection has had the ef
fect of retiring the cabinet, It will
seon go further and retire Dias. It
will have the result ultimately of giv
ing to the people a free ballot, guar
anteed under the constitution of
1857.’’
BANDITS ROB TRAIN.
Five Men Said to Have Seour.d (20,-

THE USE OF PAIN
Is natures way of making you take the proper care of yourself.
If a corn did not hurt you so that you would cure it or at least
protect it, it would sooner or later result in a serious and danger
ous ulcer.
It is your own fault that you have them in the first place, but
maybe you did not realize it at the time. At any rate you deserve
no sympathy for tho painful trouble, wheu for a little care and a few
Cents spent for a package of our corn cure, you can have relief in a
short time and permanent cure, if you will follow directions.
Don’t suffer. Get a box today for cents.
HORTON’S DRUG STORE,
BUTLER, - - GEORGIA.
For two hours six masksd msn held
St. Louis, Iron Mountain and South
ern passenger train No. 104 at a stand
still on the prairie, about six mileB
South of Coffeyville, Kan., while they
blew open a safe In the express car.
They escaped in two automobiles, car-
rying with them money and valuables
Which, it is believed, will amount to
(20,000.
The train left Little Rock bound for
Kansas City. It reached Lenapah,
Okla., half an hour late.
Just aftpr the train left Lenapah,
Engineer Lynch heard a sharp cry:
‘‘Hands up!”
Turning, he saw a masked man sit
ting on the tender, pointing a revol
ver at him.
"I’m going to ride a little way with
you,” said the man; "drive on.”
The engineer obeyed. About four
miles out of Lenapah, the robber com
pelled the engineer to stop the train
near a clump of trees. Five more
masked men came out of the woods,
and taking position on each side of
the train, began shooting In the air
•nd along the side of the train. Then,
while two bandits stood guard to pre
vent any passengers from leaving, the
four marched the engineer and fire
man to the day coach and looked them
in.
They then proceeded to rob the
train in true bandit style, after terror-
icing the passengers in the day
ooaches and sleepers.
The place was a lonely one where
the bandits stopped the train, and they
proceeded leisurely with the work.
Railroad officials deny that the rob
bers secured as much as (20,000 from
the express car.
SWEPT OUT BY FIRE.
Fayette, Ala., Said to Have Suffered
Heavy Lota.
It is reported that Fayette. Ala.,
forty-five miles east of Columbus, Ga.,
on the line of the Southern railway,
between Columbus and Birmingham,
has been swept out by fire.
The handsome new court house. Jail,
new hank and every business house
in the place is gutted. Fayette is
called ths natural gas town of Ala
bama, for the recent discoveries of gas
there have aroused much Interest.
The gas wells are about a mile from
the town. How the conflagration
started has not been learned.

Bryan dollar banquet
Many Speakers Express Belief Bryan
Is Still Leader of Party.
Between 1,200 and 1,300 followers
of W. J. Bryan attended’the compli
mentary banquet tendered him by the
Lincoln Bryan club at Lincoln, Neb.
The presence of sach recognized dem
ocratic leader; a? Champ Clark, the
coming speaker of the house of repre
sentatives; Governor Shafroth, of Col
orado; Senator Owen, of Oklahoma;
Senator Kern, of Indiana, and Senator
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, gave it an in
terest and political importance more
than state-wide.
The promoters of the banquet, which
took the form of a “dollar dinner,”
made no attempt to conceal the fact
that the function was in part Intended
as a denial of the statement made at
times in Nebraska that Mr. Bryan had
been repudiated as the leader of the
party in his home state, and in the
addresses at the banquet a number of
Speakers expressed their belief that
the guest of honor was still to them
the leader of democracy both In state
and nation.
REBELS WANT U. S.
TO RECOGNIZE THEM
Control of Chihuahua Claimed
by Rebels.
JUNTA’S PROPOSED ACTION.
Will Request That the United States
Government Recognize Rebels as
Belligerents—Gomez, Revolutionary
Leader, Talks of Situation.
The Mexican revolutionists, says a
Washington dispatch, will request the
United States government to recog
nise them as belligerents. Dr. Vaa-
quez Gomez, head of the revolutionary
Junta in Washington, said that this
step will he taken as soon as conclu
sive proofs of the control of a consid
erable number of states of Mexico by
the revolutionists could be formulated
for presentation to the state depart
ment.
"The provisional government is past
the initial state of formation, and the
work of organizing- the executive
branch of the government is now near
ing completion. Francisco I. Madero
is recognized by a large number of
Mexicans as the provisional president
of the republic. Other officials have
been named and will Immediately thke
up the duties of their offices so far as
the exigencies of the disturbed condi
tion of the country will permit.
"We will be able to show to the
world and to the state department of
this country that we are in de facto
control of the largest part of Chihau-
hau; that our cause is Identical with
the sentiment of the people in all
states of the republic; that armed op
position, to the Dias administration is
effective in twenty-three states.”

THE EDDY ESTATE.
John H. Baker Has Filed Order Asking
Share of (2,500,000.
John H. Baker, of Concord, N. H.,
who claims to be a grand nephew of
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of
the Christian Soienee church, has
filed a petition in the superior court
asking leave to intervene in the suit
in that court against Henry M. Baker,
of Bow, executor of the Eddy estate.
In this suit George W. Glover, Mrs.
Eddy’s son, and Dr. E. J. Foster Eddy,
ask that the court order the residue
of the estate, estimated at approxi
mately (2,500,000, to be given to them
M next of kin to Mrs. Eddy instead
of to the Boston church, as provided
In the leader's will, because, they
olalm, the law bars such a legacy.
John Baker takes the ground that if
the court should declare the residuary
clause invalid, he would be entitled
to share in the residue as one of the
next of kin.

Stripling Support Not
Now So Stiong.
ATLANTA, Ga , March 2S.—
What has become of the record in
the Edgar Stripling case?
According to report that he
reached the capitol the records of
the trial of Stripling for the kill
ing of W J Cornette in Harris
county nearly fifteen years ago
cannot be located. At any rate
nODe of the records have been filed
with tl-e prison commission yet,
and the case is set for a hearing
April 6.
It is understood that (he records
in the case were sent to the supreme
court when the matter was appeal
ed to that tribunal, the case was
thrown out of the supreme court
and the records were all returned
to Harris county.
The failure to find the records is
only a rumor here, but if it is bas
ed on fact and the papers can not
be produced it would have a .se
rious effect on the bearing before
the prison commission. Governor
Brown rarely considers a case un
til he has the court records before
him.
Letters and petitions in the
Stripling case continue to come to
the governor and the prison com
mission. Governor Brown has re
ceived letters from several parties,
asking that their names be m Btrick
en from petitions for clemency, as
they have changed their minds
since hearing the other side of the
case.
One letter says that there has
been marked change in sentiment
regarding the casein Columbus re
cently. At first everyone favored
instant pardon for Stripling, but
8 ioce the widow presented Iter side
of the matter, many are now op
posing a pardon.
Stripling is still in jail and the
commission will issue no order
sending him to the convict camp
before his appeal is beard aud
passed upon.
