Boys Set Fire to Walnut Tree
More Than Century
Old
Special to The Tclecroph
Dauphin, Pa., Sept. 16. An old
landmark, of Dauphin, a black wal
nut tree, over one hundred years old,
standing at the head of Market Square
was set on fire at noon Csterday by
two small boys who were playing with
coal oil and matches. The boys pour
ed the oil on the roots of the tree
and then touched it with a lighted
match. A tire sprung up immediately
and spread to the inside of the tree
where it burned all day. The Rev.
Robert F. Stirling. Guy Walters and
David Garman, living near, bored
holes in the tree, which is hollow, and
put a long water hose through. Dur
ing the afternoon the village hose cart,
pulled by several boys, arrived on the
scene of action, but their efforts were
in vain.
Towards evening the lire began to
lessen and by 8 o'clock was entirely
out. It is feared that the old tree
will have to be chopped down, be
cause of the damage done by the fire.
If this is done it will be to the sor
row of all Datlphin, because its very
oldest as well as youngest have played
under or enjoyed the shade yf its
enormous branches.

SURE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACKHEADS
There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of black
heads and that is to dissolve them.
To do this get about two ounces of
plain powdered neroxin from any drug
store —sprinkle a little on a hot. wet
sponge—nili over the blackheads brisk
ly-—-wash the parts and you will be
surprised how the blackheads have dis
appeared. Hie blackheads, little olack
heads, no matter woere they are, simp
ly dissolve and disappear, leaving tlie
parts without any mark whatever.
Klackheads are simply a mixture of
dust and dirt and secretions from the
body that form In the pores of the
skin —pinching and squeezing only
cause irritation, make large pores, and
do not get them out after they become
hard. The powdered neroxin and the
water simply dissolve the blackheads
so they wash right out, leaving the
pores free and cleat# and in their na
tural condition.. Anybody troubled
with these unsightly blemishes should
certainly try this simple method.—Ad
vertisement.
Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity
Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid. In the beginning the stom
ach Itself is not diseased but if this
acid condition is allowed to continue,
the acid is very likely to eat into the
stomach Walls and produce stomach
ulcers which may render a radical sur
gical operation necessary even to pro
long life. Therefore, an "acid stomach"
is really a. dangerous condition and
should be treated seriously. It is ut
terly useless to take pepsin and ordi
nal.v stomach tablets The excess acid
rr stomach hyperacidity must he neu
tralized by the administration of an ef
ficient antacid. For this purpose the
best remedy is bisurated magnesia
taken In teasnoonful doses in a fourth
of a glass of water after each meal
I,arger quantities may be used if nec
essary as it Is absolutely harmless. Re
sure to ask your druggist for the
bisurated magnesia as other forms of
magnesia make effective mouth washes
hut they have not the same action on
the stomach as tlie bisurated.—Adver
tisement.

Russia's Sacrifice
Saved French Troops
London, Sept. 16. 2.35 A. M.—A
Petrograd dispatch to the Post says
"It is only now that tho.opportunity
presents itself to exhibit in due pro
portions the self--sacrificlng strategy
of Russia at the very opening of the
war for the purpose of lightening the
task of her allies.
"The immediate necessity was to
prevent the destruction of tile French
armies by rapid diversion. This Rus
sia accomplished magnificently. Her
raid in Fast Prussia right up to
Koenigsberg at once relieved the pres
sure upon Franco by compelling Ger
many to withdraw her best troops
from France and supplant them with
reserves. This movement is still In
progress. i
"The services Russia performed
were costly t.o herself but priceeless to
her allies. There was but scanty
chances that. Russia, could succeed in
reaching suitable territory for a deci
sive battle.
"It should be on record now. when
changed circumstances are compelling
Russia, to return to a strategic scheme
more advantageous to the develop
ment of her enormous resources, that
she already has withdrawn a consider
able force from Fast Prussia and no
surprise will lie felt hero if Russia,
withdraws entirely within her own
frontier."

HAINES PUTS DEFEAT
UP TO PROGRESSIVES
Governor of Maine Was Beaten by
Plurality of 3,200; Leg
islature Divided
Special In The Telegraph
Portland, Me., Sept. 16.—Governor
William T. Haines, Republican, de
feated for re-election fiy Mayor Oak
ley C. Curtis, Democrat, of Portland,
by 8,200 In a vote of 138,000, attributes
his defeat to three factors—the un
faithfulness of a sheriff he had ap
pointed to enforce the prohibitory law
after removing a nullifying official,
the increase of mileage rates on the
Maine Central to 2U cents after he
had vetoed a bill to regulate the issue
of mileages, and the operations of the
Progressive party. The last is the
most important factor. The removal
of three other sheriffs may have had
an influence.
The vote, approximately completed,
is,
Haines, Republican, 58,351: Curtis,
Democrat, 61,589; Gardner, Progres
sive, 17,643. Haines gained 31,802
over the vote cast for Taft in 1912,
Curtis gained 10,476 over Wilson's
vote, and Gardner fell 30,852 short of
the vote which was accorded Roose
velt. In September, 1912, Haines re
ceived 70,931 and defeated Plaisted,
who had 67,7702. Therefore from last
Governor's election Curtis decreased
6,113 and Haines fell off 12,580.
The Legislature will be divided. The
Republicans will control the Senate
with 17 votes to the Democrats' 14. In
the lower house exact figures are not
yet clear, but indications are that the.
Democrats will have 75, Republicans
70. Progressives 5 and one in doubt.
tPnless a considerable number of
Republicans violate their platform
pledges there will be no referendum
of the constitutional prohibitory
amendment in the next two years, for
resubmission of an amendment re
quires two-thirds majority in both
houses and the Republican party is
pledged to support prohibition.
Three Republicans and one Demo
crat were re-elected- to Congress. The
combined vote of the four Republican
candidates, not quite complete, was
58,327 and of the four Democratic
candidates, 59.208. The defeated Re
publican candidate suffered heavily
from the Progressive split.
The public utilities bill, passed by
the last Legislature and held up on a
referendum, has apparently been en
acted by the people by an overwhelm
ing majority.
Roosevelt Can Find No
Consolation in Election
Special to The Telegraph
Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 16.—After
lie had made a study of the election
returns from Maine, Colonel Roosevelt
decided not to make any comment
upon the situation there. There could
be no doubt, however, that he was
greatly disappointed over the poor
showing made by his party in Maine.
Concerning the action of the Pro
gressives in New York county in bring
ing about fusion with the Republicans
on several candidates, Colonel Roose
velt had this to say:
• "Of course, I endorse whatever ac
tion the party has taken, I am with
those who arranged for fusion and
also for Michael Schaap, leader of
the Progressives in the Assembly. I
think he has done splendid service
since he was put into office."

For a minute the manager looked
a bit perplexed and from the expres

to see that the boys had taken hiin

trying to slip something over on me,"
ho said smilingly, "and to tell the
truth I don't know what this is all

"Well, you see we are here to ac

Germans Will Make
Stand on Aisne River
By Associated Press
Paris, Sept. 16, 6.50 A. M.—The offi
cial communication of Monday which
referred to the preceding day's de
velopments said that the enemy
showed a disposition to resist north of
the Aisne river. Yesterday's official
communication said that the enemy
resisted on the line from Craonne and
the forest of L'Aißle. north of Com
piegne. The forces that constituted
the center in the battle of Marne
seem also to be seeking a position on
the same line while the Crown Prince's
army in Argonne continues to retreat
in that direction.
It remains to be seen whether under
the adverse conditions the Germans
have been able to get their artillery
Into position through the mud. The
situation would be desperate in case
of defeat for the heavy rains continue
and under the circumstances the Ger
mans could hardly get their heavy
artillery away.
It was rumored last night that the
Indian cavalry had arrived and vould
go into action. This is unconfirmed,
however.

Oil WILSON'S ICI
One Time British Minister Says
President Does Not Know
True Conditions
By Associated Press
New York, Sept. 16.—Sir Lionel
Garden, one time British minister to
Mexico and recently appointed minis
ter to Brazil, sailing to-day on the Cel
tic for Liverpool, is quoted by the New
York City News Association as havinK
made the following statement concern
ing the withdrawal of American
troops from Verft. Cruz:
"It is n desperate shame that the
United States has seen fit to abandon
the decent people of Mexico when
they most needed help. Ido not know
the reason for this, but it would seem
that President Wilson had been mis
informed in some matters and that if
another side of the situation has been
brought to his attention he has not
seen tit to listen to anything that con
tradicts those who have told him that
tlie country has been pacified.
Xo Protection Left
"The people who did not get pro
tection in Mexico City and elsewhere
went to Yera Cruz for protection.
What will they do now. They have
no means of getting away and will
be left to the mercies of the lawless
element that will soon overrun the
town and country.
"When it is said that a state of abso
lute anarchy exists in Mexico, it is not
stating the facts too strongly. There
was some 4,000 good policemen in the
city of Mexico, but these have been
supplanted by an army of 35,000 sol
diers that fought the federal govern
ment, among these are several thou
sands of wild Yaqui Indians who two
months ago fought with bows and ar
rows as the only weapons they knew.
Imagine these wild men turned loose
in the streets of a great city with no
law to govern them and with the resi
dents at ttfielr mercy.
lias Xo Government
"Neither liberty nor property is safe
anjd when an officer desires he may
turn a family out of its home and com
mandeer everything. There is no re
dress for there are no courts, no con
gress, no laws —nothing but anarchy
military despotism with not even a
supremo chance to oversee that.
"Huerta had some sort of a govern
ment: Carranza has none -whatever:
the only claim he has to greatness is
his physique and that is not so terrify
ing either. There is not even martial
law there-because there Is no organiza
tion. The Zapatistas, wild, roaming
bands of brigands every few days as
sault the water works of Mexico City,
which are only 35 minutes' ride from
the city and are all the time trying
to get into town. They are driven
away by superior forces, but again
make an assault when they feel in
clined. But this is only one instance."

Situation in West Is
Favorable, Says Berlin;
Victory of Allies Denied
By Associated Press
Berlin, via. Copenhagen, via Lon
don, Sept. 16, 8.15 A. M.—The Ger
man staff announces that the situation
on the west front is still "favorable."
It declares that the French and
English have at no place on the whole i
battle front won a victory and that j
the Germans can look with contldence
to the outcome.
The public has been showing signs
of impatience because of the absence
of news from the front and this has
led headquarters to depart from its
practice and issue reassuring state
ments in general terms. The fact that
the Siberian corps was engaged in the
lighting at I-yck, East Prussia, is
noted with interest here as indicating
that the mobilization of this corps
must have been accomplished with
extraordinary rapidity to enable it to
arrive in Europe within six weeks
after the Russian mobilization order
was issued.
No detailed account of the sinking
of the cruiser Hela has been given
out. It was merely stated that 57 of
the 187 members of the crew were
saved.

Has your husband ever asked you that?
You know a man likes to have his wife dress up in the

Of course, you can't leave the coal fire to fix itself—you

But you can do away with all that bother by using Gas,

See our new Special Cabinet Gas Ranges at $24.00 and up.
Or our smaller ranges at $16.00 and up. All sold 011 easy
monthly payments. If you cannot come to the gas office, ask
us to send a representative.
