WILL TRY TO GET
EXACT STORY OF
EX-CZAR'SDEATH
Official Personages Accept
Report That Imperial Fam
ily Was Stoned
. Omsk, Siberia- April 9.—Serious
effort will be made to determine the
exact details of the assaassinatto*
of the Russian imperial family
which occurred in a house at Ekater
inburg. Various accounts of the af
fair are still current at Omsk where
at present reside two tutors, one
English, the other French, who were
attached to the family of Czar Nich
olas. and who were with the un
happy ntonarchs until they were re
moved from Tobolsk to the house at
Ekaterinburg where they were sub
sequently murdered.
Official parsonages who visited this
house and who had some opportunity
of gleaning details accept the story
that the former Emperor Nicholas,
his wife and their children, were
thrown into.a pit or cellar and there
half suffocated, wounded and finally
killed under a hail of missiles, in
cluding bombs. They believe that
the bodies were secretly transferred
to the forest and burled. Special
investigation is being made of the
tale that one of the jewels of the
former Empress, a diamond, was
found in a forest recess.
A story that Nicholas stabbed with
a poignard by a sailor while being
•transferred from one place to an
other, and that, kissing the hem ot'
the sailor's garment, he pleaded for
mercy, is not accepted as- vouched
for by any historical data of a seri
ous nature.

The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY T.. \Y. BOWER. M. D
Tou can take an onion seed and
a pansy seed, and plant them side
by side in the same spot of ground.
In one case, you get an onion, with
its peculiarly strong odor, and in the
other you get a flower of rare
rare beauty. You can plant a poppy
seed and get opium (a dangerous,
habit-forming drugi, -or you can
plant a rhubarb seed and get some
thing that helps constipation. No
scientist living or dead, can explain
these mysteries of Nature. Behind
the invisible life germ in each seed
is hidden the deep secret that nobody
understands. Everything growing
out of the ground seems intended
for some use in establishing natural
conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo.
N. Y.. long since found out what is
naturally best for women's diseases.
He learned it all through treating
thousands of cases. The result of
his studies was a medicine called Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable
growths that nature surely intended
for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, period
ical irregularities, pelvic inflamma
tions attd for the ,niany disorders
common to women in all ages of life.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
mase of lady's sljpper root, blac-k
cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard
remedy know that in Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription they are get
ting a safe woman's tonic so good
that druggists everywhere sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have
the full confidence of every woman
in America because it contains no
alcohol and no narcotic. Dr. Pierce
knew, when he first made this
standard medicine, that whisky and
morphine are injurious, and so he
has always kept them out of his
remedies. Send 10c to Dr. Pierce's

Local Retail Men in a

Believing that they have been

by published figures on the coal sit

issued n statement showing that aft

HAYS RESTORING
PARTY HARMONY
AT WASHINGTON
Pleased With Recent Visit to
Capital; Looking to the
1920 Campaign
BY DAVID I<AWRENCK
(Reprinted by permission of the New-
York Evening Post.)
(Copyright, 1919, by N. Y. Evening
Post, Inc.)
Washington. April 9.—Will Hays,
chairman of the Republican Nation
al Committee, has come, has seen,
and has gone away with the impres
sion that the Republicans in the
House are going to compose their
differences and give the country an
example of constructive legislation
In the next session which will make
the party "go ovfer the top'* In 1920
as it did in 1918.
Mr. Hays found a ticklish situation
and handled himself as usual, tact
fully, lest the older heads in the
party get the idea hb was unduly
meddling. Denials have been made
that Mr. Hayes sought to have the
steeping coninijttee enlarged, but
that's what is going to happen event
ually. and on that steering commit
tee will be representatives of labor
and of farming interests, as well aa
other elements from which the Re
publican party hopes to derive its
strength in 1920.
Unquestionably Mr. Hays wants a
liberalization of the House steering
committee. These men are going to
control the fortunes of the party in
the next Congress, and tile Republi
can National Chairman has a very
vital interest in whether the men
who are selected have the capacity
and the vision* to deal with the
changing America.
Party solidarity is what Mr. Hays
is trying suavely and quietly to bring
about and there is much significance
in his trip to Washington, for with
a special session beginning toward
the end of May or thereabouts, there
is little time for the Republicans to
get together and agree upon pro
grams of legislation. In the mean
time. Mr. Hays himself is losing no
time in making a systematic study
through a body of experts of the
various questions which the Repub
licans will endeavor to solve in the
next Congress, for every country in
1920 will pudge the Republican party
not by what It did in the days of
Cannon and Aldrich, but what it did
in the two trying years of recon
struction which are ahead.
As for the League of Nations as
an issue, Republicans are not dis
turbed. Mr. Taft's warm espousal
of the League and the stand taken
by men like tVickersham and Root
will, they contend, prevent the Dem
ocrats from malting it a party issue.
Much satisfaction is derived espec
ially from the letter sent by Elihu
Root. Tress - dispatches from Paris
saying the Root amendments are
meteing with favor there will tend
to strengthen the impression that
the Republicans have, in a measure,
assisted in making the League of
Nations a vital international body.
As fori the signers of the "round
robin." ratification of the treaty it
self will be the answer to that, and
no Republican o'f prominence is to
day predicting the failure of the
Senate to ratify the compact that
may be eventually presented to the
upper house. This is largely due to
the cables from abroad saying that
the covenant is being rewritten to
meet Republican objection.
Mr. Hays reveals on the whole,
therefore, an optimism about the
outlook of the Republican party. His
talks with the various leaders there
have been earnest and persuasive.
His plans of campaign organization
are meeting with favor. His hand
is on the political pulse-of the coun
try constantly, and if the Republican
leaders in Congress are indifferent
Don't Be a Slave
To Your Nerves
Good Advice to >frvou People
People who are excessively nerv
ous, tired out and all run down, who
get the jumps and fidgets, who can't
concentrate their minds on work,
have tits of blues, trembling, nerv
ous headaches and dyspepsia and
that "don't give a hang" feeling so
common to nervous folks may take it
as a certain fact that their trouble
is due to impoverishment or devi
talized nerve force. Their nerve
cells are starving and when they give
out entirely complete nervous pros
tration or breakdown is the result.
A splendid treatment for weak
nerves is found in the famous Margo
nerve tablets composed of six of the
best nerve vitalizing elements known
to modern chemistry. These tablets
go straight to the nerve cells and be
gin immediate action. Take a Margo
nerve tablet, wait ten minutes and
watch yourself perk up. They feed
your famished nerve cells, start
healthy blood circulation and normal
digestion. Then you brighten up, put
on a smile, get some of the old time
"pep" back in your system and feel
as happy as a < lain at high tide.
Margo nerve tablets are absolutely
harmless, contain no dangerous habit
forming drugs, are easy to take, in
expensive and Kennedy's, G. A. Gor
gas, and other leading druggists sell
them on a positive guarantee of suc
cessful results or money back.
Tissue Building
Tissue is the doctor's name for
body cells.
It, is to our bodies what coal Js
to an engine.
Every day we burn up a cer
tain amount of tissue.
Therefore new tissue must be
built to take the place of the lost
fuel.
The food we eat makes this
new tissue and in a healthy per
son gives enough fuel to replace
the loss.
People get thin and "run down"
because they do not get enough
nourishment from their food to
supply the needed fuel.
When the weakened system
does not do its duty, you must
have a "tissue builder." Father
John's Medicine Is a real tissue
builder because it actually makes
new flesh and tissue.
When you take Father John's
Medicine, the actual food ele
ments of which it Is composed
give you new strength and enable
the organs of the body to resume
their work.
Father John's Medicine soothes
and heals throat and Is best for
colds, bronchitis, asthma.
People gain weight steadily
while taking it.
Remember, Father John's
Medicine contains no alcohol or
dangerous drugs. It has a his
tory of more than half a century
of success.
to hia observations of public senti
ment and the trend of thought of
the nation as it is brought to him
through thousands of political eyes
and ears in various parts of the
country, then they will court defeat.
The Republican national chairman
doesn't talk candidates. He talks
party solidarity. Unless the Repub
lican party is a unit it will not be
able to put through a constructive
program in tne next two venrs be
cause time will be lost in
and_ squabbles. Unless there is har
mony the Democratic party, which is
united will take advantage of the
dissensions and divisions. As a partv
of opposition, the Republicans are
inclined to be pleased with them
