FARMERS ARE FIGHTING
THE RECIPROCITY BILL
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE OF
NATIONAL GRANGE MAP OUT
CAMPAIGN AGAINST TREATY.
MANY FARMERS INTERESTED
National Grange Thinks Plan to Take
Duty From Farm Products a
Discrimination.
New- York. —The machinery of the
National Grange, an organization
laiming a membership cf one mil
lion farmers in thirty states, has been
started to defeat the ratification by
.ongress of the Canadian reciprocity
treaty. The legislative committee ot
.lie grange, at a special meeting in
this city, aadopted a resolution
protesting against the enactment
of the rec.procity bill, called
upon the membership to exert press
ure upon congressmen from tneir va
rious districts to vote against the
measure and decided to go to Wash
ington to map out a campaign there.
Gov. N. J. Pianchard of Concord,
chairman of the legislative commit
tee, declared the national body was
composed of 7.5U0 granges scattered
throughout the northern half of the
('nlted Slates from Maine to Cailtor
niu, and that it was his opinion the
granges would support tne commit
tee unanimously.
“We are not opposed to a general
reduction of the tariff,” said Mr. At
kinson of the committee, “but we are
opposed to any arrangement whicn
will make fish of one industry and
llesh of another. Regulate the tariff,
yes, but do it all at onc«. and not
by a reciprocity treaty with a coun
try that exports agricultural products
almost exclusively. Remove the tariff
on steel and iron and manufactured
articles along with farm products and
ue wont object. But we don't think
it fair to compel the tanners to com
pete with foreign products and al
low tlie manufacturers to derive the
icnefit of a nigh protective tariff.
"Acting along these lines, we have
decided to oppose the enactment ot
the bill. The committee issued a
statement which will be sent to ev
ery one of flic 7,500 grangers hi the
organization. These have a member
ship of fifty to a thousand farmers
each. We slial iask evxery member to
write his representatives in congress,
urging him to vote against the bin.
I think we can defeat it in this man
ner, but we are not going to take
any chances and the committee lias
decided to go to Washington and work
lor that end.”
in its statement the committee says
that acting in response to thousands
of letters and telegrams urging it to
protect the farmers' interests, the pro
test is issued.
MISSOURI CAPITOL BURNS.
Lightning Sets Fire to State House in
Jefferson City, Missouri.
Jefferson City, Mo. —The Missouri
capitol building was destroyed by fire
The total loss, including the struc
ture and many records and state pa
pers in the offices of the governor,
secretary of state and treasurer, is
estimated at $1 000,0U0, with no insur
ance.
Lightning, which struck the cupola
of the dome, spread the names to the
roof of the house of representatives
on the north side ot the structure
and in less than half an hour it
was apparent that the building was
loomed.
The local military company was
,?ailed out and termed a cordon around
the building, driving spectators from
jangerous positions and removing the
records from the different state de
partments.
The records of the house of repre
sentatives were destroyed, while those
of the senate were saved, lu the state
treasurer's office more than $20,000 is
ai the time vault, supposedly fireproof,
and may be saved when the debris is
•loared away.
The capitol was erected in IS3S at
a cost of $350,000 and in 1887 remod
eled at a cost of $25,000. While it
was built of stone the root was cov

English Parliament Opens.
London, England.—The new parlia
ment, which was the first opened in
state by George V. and Queen Mary,
will be memorable also as the parlia
ment to decide the status cf the
house of lords, and probably thereby
make the greatest change of a cen
tury in the British constitution. The
question of the lords will dominate
and precede all other matters, and
until it has been disposed of such
other projects as home rule for Ire
land and disestablishment of the
church cannot be taken up.

the situation. His investigation dis

JOSEPH M. TERRELL
United States Senator From Georaia.
Washington, D. G.—Senator Joseph M. Terrell was stricken with an
attack of acute Indigestion in his office at tbe capitol. The attack
was accompanied by partial paralysis of the senator’s right side.
it is doubtful if Senator Terrell will be able to return to the senate
again during the present session ot congress, which expires March 4.
The attack of partial paralysis which he suffered in his office, has left
him very weak, and his recovery will be slow.
In many respects the attack was similar to that from which Senator
Tillman suffered on the steps of the capitol last winter, and which left
him weakened for several months.
HONDURAN WAR ENDED.
American Naval Forces Are Sent to

Washington.—The explanation of

forces in landing at Puerto Cortez,

a view to bringing about a settle
ment of tlie difficulty in that country
without further bloodshed was had,
when tlie state department made pub
lic the text of telegrams exchanged
between President Taft and President
Davila of Honduras, within the last
few days.
From this telegraphic correspond
ence it appears that in seeking to re
store peace between the warring fac
tions in Honduras, President Taft i
simply conforming to the earnest
wish of President Davila, who tele
graphed him as follows:
“The government of Honduras is re
solved to approve the loan conven
tion. For this suspension of hostili
ties is necessary in order to prevent
the useless shedding of blood. If your
excellency can lend your valorous in
tervention to the end that the war
may cease, the people and govern
ment of Honduras will have cause to
again thank the United States am
its worthy president for the interest
they are taking in the tranquility and
prosperity of tne country.”

OPENING OF WATERWAY ACROSS
PANAMA TO BE CELEBRATEP
AT GOLDEN GATE.
National House of Representatives
Favors Western City for the
Great Show in 1915.
San Francisco, Cal. —With the
bursting of bombs, the shrieking
of steam whistles, and the ring
ing of bells, the news that San
Francisco had won the first vic
tory in the Panama exposition
contest, was announced to the
people of this city.
Washington.—The house of repre
sentatives by a vote of 188 to 159,
decided in favor of San Francisco,
and against New Orleans, as the city
in which an exposition to celebrate
the opening of the Panama canal in
1915 shall be held.
This vote was taken on a roil call
to determine whether San Francisco
resolution or the New Orleans bill
should have consideration in the
house. On a final vote the San Fran
cisco resolution was passed by a vote
of 259 to 43.
San Francisco won by capturing the
Republican vote in the house. New
Orleans - support came from the Dem
ocrats. Only thirty Republican voted
tor New Orleans. Thirty-six Demo
crats voted for San Francisco. The
San Francisco resolution does not ask
for government aid in any form. It
simply authorizes the president of the
United States to invite foreign na
tions to participate in the fair.
An effort to amend the resolution
to include provisions for an" interna
tional naval from Hampton Roads
through the Panama canal and up the
west coast to San Francisco was d»
feated on a parliamentary point ol
order.

Slogan of New National
Association.
Washington.—Good roads and more
of them. That is the slogan of the
new national association to further
the cause of highway improvement,
which was organized recently in
Washington and has begun work in a
systematic way to correlate and co
ordinate the efforts of all existing
agencies for highway improvement.
With the view to giving the widest
publicity to the extensive work now
being undertaken by various good
roads’ agencies, the national associa
tion, recently organized in Washing
ton, has opened permanent headquar
ters in this city. At its head is-Logan

States office of public roads. Its other
officers and directors include some ot
the leading railroad magnates, uni
versity professors, editors of daily
monthly and technical periodicals, au
omobile manufacturers, politicians,
civil engineers and just plain, every
day citizens of the country.
The plans and purposes of the new
national organization may be brief
ly set forth:
To prevent loss through incorrect
and inadequate methods of construc
tion, maintenance and administration
of good roads.
To arouse and stimulate the senti
ment for road improvement.
To correlate and harmonize the ef
forts of all other bodies working tor

To strive for wise, uniform and
equitable road legislation in every
state.

management of public roads to the (
end of bringing about the most effi
cient road administration.
To bring about continuous and sys
tematic maintenance or roads, the
payment of road taxes in cash, the
adoption of the principle of state aid
and state supervision.
To secure the adoption of such a
jniform plan of road construction
hat the important, roads ot each conn

ing counties and those of each state
with the roads of adjoining states.
ENGLISH PARLIAMENT OPENS
King George Had Little to Say About
Great Issues.
Imndon. England.—The formal open
ing of the new parliament was mark
ed by gorgeous ceremony, and was
attended by King George and Queen
Mary and their suites, most of the
dignitaries of the empire, many mem
bers of the diplomatic corps and all
bthers who could crowd within the
doors of Westminster.
The speech from the throne was
brief and formal and made small ref
erence to the great issues that under
lie the assembling of the members
(or the present session.
Both Lord Lansdowne. in the house
of lords, and A. J. Balfour, in the
house of commons, the respective
leaders of the opposition, took occa
sion to denounce the reciprocity
agreement between the United States
and Canada, but the evening session
of parliament was mainly devoted to
getting the legislative ship under
way.
James Ramsey McDonald, who was
elected chairman of the Labor Party,
to replace George Nicoll Barnes, who
retired on account of illness, charac
terized Mr. Balfour's description of
the reciprocity agreement as an impe
rial diaster, as the most awkward and
colossal blunder he had ever heard in
parliament.
The prime minister, in answer to
the opposition speeches, said that for
the present it would be wise to with
hold criticism of the reciprocity agree
ment. It was as certain as the ris
ing of the sun that sooner or later
the United States would have been
bound to level the tariff _ wall with
Canada.
Snow Causes $1,000,000 Loss.
Chicago. A snowstorm which
struck this city filled the streets with
huge drifts, delayed railroad transpor
tation and tied up street car and ele
vated train service. The loss in this
jity to traction, telegraph and tele
phone companies is estimated at sl,-
000.000. Eight and a half inches ot
snow fell, but as the storm was ac
companied by a high wind, many of
the streets were blocked by drifts
several feet high and reaching from
curb to curb. Four deaths from ex
posure are reported.
Greeks Fight Americans.
Salt Lake City, Utah.—An armed
uprising of Greek coal miners at Ken
ilworth, Carbon county, Utah, was
suppressed after four men had been
killed, one fatally wounded and sever
al others wounded by bullets. The ri
oters, nearly two hundred in number,
retreated to the hills. The trouble
began when the Greek mine j com
plained that discrimination was
shown in the weighing of coal in
favor of Americans. They refused
to appoint their own weighers.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED
“I have suffered from the same trou
ble (painful finger nails) at different
periods of my life. The first time of
Its occurrence, perhaps twenty-flva
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, I asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma
tion and suppuration began at ths
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that* I had to use a
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. Thesa
frequent inflammations resulted in the
loss of the nail. I had sometimes as
many as three fingers In this state at
one time.
“Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again I tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor of
a friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but it was
not a permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that I could not use It.
I began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. I did not use
the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base ot
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as I could. I had not
used it but a few veeks before my
nails were better, and In a short t!ird|
they were apparently well. Thera
was no more suppuration, nor InflamS
mation, the nails grew out cleanl
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used in effecting a
cure.” (Signed) Mrs. I. J. Horton,
Katonah, N. Y.. Apr. 13, 1910. On
Sept. 21, Mrs. Horton wrote: "I have
had no further return of the trouble
with my finger nails.”
