DIAZ WAS SERENE
NEW MEXICAN CABINET IS NOW
IN CONTROL OF
REPUBLIC.
A CABINET OF RADICAL REFORMS
Th# First in the History of Mexico—
Oiax Will Reaign as Soon as Re
forme Promised Are Instituted and
Remove to Europe.
Mexico City, Mar. 30. In the roy
ally ornate hall of Ambassadors in
the National Palace, members of the
new cabinet were sworn In at noon.
An aisle way was formed by n double
row of high military officers in gorge
ous cermonia! uniforms. At one end
stood President Diaz and a subsecre
tary. The latter administered
oath of office
Escorted by two generals each j
minister wus ushered into the further j
end of the military peristyle archway
and advancing, bowed formally three
times, the last gcnutlucticn bringing
him face to face with the battleship
prowlike countenance of the presi
dent. At the conclusion of the oath
the ministers would say: ‘i protest
that I will do my duty" and tho
president replied to each, "If you
do the people will approve; if you
do not, the people will condemn."
The President Vigorous.
Gen. Diaz, looking not over CO,
who quotes the president as saying
to him that as soon as the reform
program Is instituted and the objec
tionable governors changed, he will
resign and go to Europe.
Evidence* of the adminlairations
good faith in the promised changes
Is found of the assured truth in
the rumor that Gov. J.adi of this
province will soon resign and he suc
ceeded by Gen. Fernandez. The lat
ter Is a pronounced adherent of Gen.
Keyes, which shows to what extremes
the government is ready to go to sat
isfy public opinion.
Vice-President Corral is to sail for
Europe on April 12. Paris will soon
be a center of Mexican dignatarie.
The situation is still very promis
ing and the volcano we are sitting
on keeps quite respectably quiet
though li grunts once In a while.
OKLAHOMA MUST NOT FIX RATES
Two-Gent Law of State Pronouncec
Confiscatory by High Court—
Freight Rates to Stay.
St. I,mils, Mar. 21.—-The 2-oent pan
sctiger rate In Oklahoma waH de
clared lo be conilseatory and wua
held Invalid by a decision of tbe
i'nited States circuit court of ap
peals.
The unanimous opinion of tbe court
restrains the members of the corpora
tion commission or Oklahoma and
the attorney general of that state
from enforcing the provisions of the
Oklahoma constitution reducing the
maximum pussenger fare to two
cents a mile, and reducing freight
rates In interstate traffic.
sponH in a min, uisunci voice aim
gazed fixedly, with Impassive face at
each minister.
Immediately after the ceremony
the ministers went to their respective
offices and began their duties.
A noticeable Incident was I he pres
ence of the Americans and not a
word or look conveyed any resent
ment or hostility. Extreme polite
ness was evident The president s
face was entirely free from any
wrinkle of anxiety and appeared ex
actly as potently serene as when
teen a year ago.
Thyslcally he looked his ability to
put any three men In the room over
hia shoulder.
People Not Excited.
There was no sign of excitement j
among the people. All who could !
gain admittance to the hall, crowded
in and several hundred stood quietly
in front of the palace during the
ceremony.
Thin is the first time in Mexico's
history of the induction of a cabinet
pledged to radical reforms demanded
by both the peaceful citizens and a
large number of revolters.
Seuor Umantour was present but
was not sworn as his resignation had
not been accepted. When he entered
the hall there was a rubbering and
whispering showing his possession of
the center of the stage. Llmantour
has become notable in the American
fashion, and shops advertise Liman
tour cigars. limantour collars, Liman
tour shirts and Limantour more inti
mate and bashful garments. It ts
evident that in his cameo like head
he carries either the renaissance or
the ruin of Mexico
Corroboration of Gen Diaz's inUn
tion to quit as soon as he can do so
without appearing to act under com
pul'ion was received from »
The injunction was issued in 1000,
"hen the corporation commission a!
tempted to establish a maximum pas
senger rate of two cents, and reduce
freight rates approximately 40 per
cent under the constitutional pro
vision adopted in 1007.
The opinion declares that the pro
vision in the constitution of Okla
homa giving the commission power to
fix the rates Is in conflict with the
constitution of the United Slates.
Relief Sent to New York.
Chicago. Mar. 30. The Iroquois Me
morial Association of Chicago, formed
soon after the Iroquois theater lire in
1003, in which 000 lives were lost,
has sent $100 to Mayor Gaynor of
New York for the relief fund for the
benefit of the survivors of the recent
lire in which 142 lives were lost.
The Sound Sleep of Uood Health
Cannot be over estimated and any
ailment that prevents it is a menace
to health. J. L. Southers, Kau Claire.
\Vls., says: ‘M have been unable to
sleep soundly nights, because of pains
across my back and soreness of my
kidneys My appetite was very poor
and my general condition was much
run down. I have been taking Foley
Kidney Pills but a short time and now
deep as sound as a rock, my general
Jonditiou is greatly improved, and I
know that Foley Kidney Pills have

PATCHES THEM
| RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA IS
BEING PHRASED IN DIF
FERENT WORDS.
OBJECTIONS TO BE REMOVED
Will Cover All Questions Between
Great Britain and America—Arbi
tration of All International Differ
encea—Step Towards Peace.
Washington, Mar. 30.—The general
arbitration treaty with Great Britain
is being so phrased by Secretary of
State Knox and Mr. Bryce, the Brit
ish ambassador that the objections
which have been raised to It by mem
bers of the foreign relations commit
tees of the senate will be removed.
It has been arranged so the senate
will be an important factor in the
settlement of any of the questions be
tween Great Britain and the United
States so that the important conven
tion bids fair to have an easy passage
through the senate.
The president discussed the object
and functions of the arbitration
treaty with Senator Cullom and Sena
tors Ix>dge, Clark and William Alden
Smith, of the foreign relations com
mittee. It was stated after this con
ference that the scope of the treaty
heretofore has been correctly stated.
All Questions Included.
In brief, all questions which may
arise between Great Britain and the
United States including those affect
ing national policies and the respec
tive national honor of the two coun
tries shall be subject to arbitration.
The new essential of the treaty,
however, is a declaration of the
"willingness and desire” of the pow
ers signatory to arbitrate all ques
tions. This, however, is as far as the
proposed pact will go and in all sub
sequent International transactions
looking to arbitration of specific mat
ters the senate and its functions will
bo called into play.
That the senate was not so pro
tided for lr the celebrated Hay
i’auncefote treaty of general arbitra
tion caused the failure of that con
vention. Under the Knox-Bryce
treaty, the senate Is to have a hand
in i he application of the pact and
will be consulted fully in the pro
tislons of the machinery which make
operative any given effort at arbitra
tion on a given Bubject.
Main Obstacle Gone.
With the main obstacle, so far as
the senate is concerned, out of the
way it may be predicted that the
proposed general arbitration treaty
will be submitted to the senate be
fore the adjournment of the special
session of congress.
ft will of course be an epoch mak
ing convention among the nations.
It was slated that It expressed the
most advanced thought of two highly
enlightened nations and that its
operations would be so effective that
i would be an invitaiion to all na
t'ons to enter into similar pads.
Salesmen who look still further into
the future say that it is inevitable
that if four or five of the nations
agree to the principle of the arbitra
tton of questions of honor and na
Honal policy the way is clear for a
pari to which all the great nations
shall he signatory.
A general arbitration treaty pro
viding for the settlement of questions
of honor which are the usual cause of
war wilt thus bring about the realiza
tion of the hope of universal peace.
SAND CARRIED BY A TORNADO
Oklahoma Suffers From Wind Storm

Oklahoma City, Ok„ Mar. at).—The
second sandstorm of the season
swept over Oklahoma City being
driven by a strong wind from the
north, it began at midnight and by
noon iho wind had reached almost
ihc velocity of a tornado.
Sand was so thick in the air that
buildings and other objects a short

the storm raged. The storm is said
to have been worse at other places
than here.
The first sandstorm of ttie season
nine Sunday and continued all day.
No particular damage is done at this
season, compared with the later sand
storms, which cut young corn off at
the top of the ground, making it
necessary to replant. The present
storm may do great damage to wheat.
All over the state the wheat fields are
dry and the wind iB lifting the sandy
soil from around the roots. If it is
followed by a rain the damage may
he slight, but otherwise the wheat
will be killed bv the drouth.

OF ALL TONICS
GREATEST OF ALL
BLOOD PURIFIERS
Any system that needs a tonic needs also a blood purifier, for it is
the weakened and impure condition of the circulation that is responsio e
for the run-down state of health. We have only to recognize the
importance of pure, rich blood in preserving health, to realize the danger
of a weakened or impure circulation. The great majority ot persons
are rapidly coming to understand the importance of preventing disease
they know that a poorly nourished system cannot resist germs ;,n|
microbes,'and that a tonic which purifies and enriches the blood wi.
often ward off a serious spell of illness later on.
That Spring is the most trying season on the health is a fact wci
known to every one. It is the time of year when our constitutions ai t
required to stand the greatest strain, and unless the system receives
the proper amount of blood nutriment the health is bound to be affected
The general bodily weakness, tired, worn-out feeling, fickle appetite,
poor digestion, etc., come directly as a result of weak, watery blood. .
If you need a tonic, you need a medicine that has real blood pun
fying properties. A great many so called tonics are mere nerve stun
ulants, often producing instantaneous exhilarating effect, but acting ^
with decided injury on the system. If your system is weak and run *
down you can only tone it up by supplying an increased amount o
blood nutriment, and this can come only through pure, rich blood
Any tonic which does not purify the blood is dangerous, because it leave1
the impurities in the circulation to constantly prey upon the health.
S. S. S. is the greatest of all tonics because it is the greatest of al
blood purifiers; and it is the one medicine you can rely on to supplj

Highly purify the blood. The
ise of S. S. S. at this time may
;ave you from a long spell of
sickness, and it will certainly pre
pare you for the strain of the long
hot Summer. Many people have
lutoff using a tonic until the sys
tem became so weakened it could
not resist disease, and have paid
for the neglect later on with a
spell of fever, malaria, or some
ither debilitating sickness. S.S. S.

FEELS BETTER IN EVERY WAY
S. S. S. is a good medicine. 1 keep
it in the house all the while. It is an
excellent tonic to give strength to the
system and tone to all the physical
members. It gives appetite and
energy and makes one feel better in
every way. I have found it also an
excellent blood purifier. For months
I was troubled with an itching skin
eruption on the face, and tried many
specialists and many remedies to get
a cure, but S. S. S. is the only medicine f
that seemed to relieve. I am now free
of this eruption. I think a great deal

WHY THE
“PITTSBURGH PERFECT” FENCES
ARE THE BEST
1. Stays are Electrically Welded to the strands, forming a perfect
union and an amalgamation with the strands not found in any other fence ■
2. All stay wires are made as heavy as intermediate line wires. A
fence, like a chain, is only as strong as the lightest material in it. Think
this over carefully.
3. No wraps to get loose, to hold moisture and cause rust.
4. No projections to injure stock or tear wool from sheep.
5. Stronger at the joints than any other fence. Welded together by
electricity.
fi. Guaranteed that the wire is not injured at the joints.
7. Guaranteed adjustable to uneven ground.
8. Guaranteed that the stays will not separate from strands.
9. Guaranteed all right in every particular.
10. Made by the most modern process and on the latest improved ma
chinery.
11. Most of the weak points in other fences are on account of the way
the stays are fastened.
Our stays are amalgamated with the strands by means of electricity
and the strength of the fence increased a hundred fold over the strength
of a fence where the stays are wrapped or clamped on the strands.
