A courier came in from the EI "Valle district today, saying they , had en gaged the federals, in that country, and that the. rebels had taken 150 guns, which meant the loss to the federals of 150 soldiers. The appointment, of senor Ponce as jefe politico has been sustained, and he will hereafter occupy that position under the rebels! A new judge and other officers have also been appoint ed, and they are now exercising juris diction in this part of the country without interference from the federals. Last Thursday night an assault was made upon the person of a little 12 yearold blind girl of JSdmund Richard son, of Colonia Juarez, by a Mexican rebel. Friday morning a nuiriber of men went to Pearson to locate ths criminal and to have him arrested, and all the rebel officers had left th-ore. They telephoned to Col. Gari- baldi, who stated that he would send men to apprehend the criminal, which he did, and the officers succeeded in lodging him in the Casas Grandes jail. The new jefe politico said today that the man would meet justice. The report was circulated that the revolutionists Intended to disarm the Dublan and Juarez colonists. A dele gation from these two colonies today waited upon the jefe, but he denied the rumor.

The reason Is plain tbe article did not fulfil the v promises of the manufac turer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been cured, to those who are in need of it. In an interview on the subject a prominent local druggist says: '"Take for example Dr Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for 1n almost every case It shows im mediate results, as many of my cus tomers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale." The success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact that, it fulfils every wish in overcoming kidney, lier and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. A free trial bottle will be sent by mail, absolutely free. Address Tr. Kilmer & Co., BInghamtori. N. X., and mention this paper. Regular size bot tles sold at all druggists1 50c and $1.00.
