It Is not proposed to strike, but simply

were not 'there. Including Mrs. Homer

The dinner brings to mind hu

grlned, not only Seattle suffragists.
but all Seattle women, when the rup
ture between Mrs. Devoe and Seattle
omen occurred last July the cause
being refusal of credentials to these
women to the state convention, as Mrs.
Devoe refused to allow any delegate
present not pledged to the Devoe In'

However the banquet was largely
attended by members of the Washing

The sentiment was generally ex
pressed that while there Is no further
use for the organizations n this state.
they should be continued for the pur
pose of rendering all aid possible to

seeking the right to vote.
A plan was formally announced to

EL PASO, Texas. Nov. IT. Marathon,
a town of 500 people, 200 miles east of

In that direction.
At 12:30 this morning' the scouts aent
out to meet the Invaders had not re
turned and the exact whereabouts of
the band had not been ascertained. At
that hour sentries had been posted at
all of the approaches to the town and
the citizens were sleeping on their
arms.
Marathon Is about 100 miles from
Rock Springs, where the burning of
Antonio Rodriguez took place. Why
the Invaders are making that town Its
objective point cannot be learned. The
telegraph operator at Marathon reports
the town quiet, but apprehensive. The
report that a hand of Mexicans has
crossed the river Is seemingly authen

Nothing Is known of the reported In
vasion at Maria. Texas, at the hour

The belief Is held here that the revo
lutionist faction of Mexico is taking
advantage of the Rodriguez Incident to
forward their plans and incite the pub
lic mind. Sympathizers with plans to
overthrow the present regime In Mex
ico in this city express gratification
over each demonstration reported and
hint darkly that the trouble has only
begun. '
Mexicans living in this city and
across the river in Juarez are, however.
for the -most part loyal to President

of a revolutionary nature. The demon

Why Do Men

When yon stoo to think of the ter

drink? The fact simply stated is "A
victim of the Drink Habit can no more
resist llauor than a man with the asrue
can stop shivering." Drunkenness Is a
disease and must be treated as such.
The wlvea and mothers of these who
drink intoxicants will be glad to know
there is a remedy which win restore

When he first appeared on the Wash

In the chemistry department, in which
he is working, but the professors, in
conversing with him, found that he had
traveled much, and that by his perfect
diction and unusual accent he mint
have obtained an education unusual to
a man of the position which he waa
then holding.
After queries by many professors it
was found that he had attended the
University of Zurich, Switzerland, as
well as the University of Berlin. He Is
said to hart a wide knowledge of
botany and zoology.
Dr. Byers. of the chemistry depart
ment of this institution, said today
that Lachen came to Washington from

pened Into Bagely Hall at the uni

accepting the work moat reluctantly.
Osten Lachen has been given a tutor

work here. It Is his intention to fol

He was disinherited from the noble

Beware of imitations and substitutes unscrupulous dealers

Pure Malt Whiskey.
These cheap concoctions are foisted on the people with the. intent to
deceive by dealers mindful of their profits only and caring nothing for the
health of their patrons. Some go so. far aa to try to make you believe it is
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.
Substitutes Are Dangerous
"When a remedy has been before the public for more than half a cen
tury, has been prescribed and used by the best doctors and in prominent
hospitals, and has carried the blessings of health into as many thousands of
homes as Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has, imitations are bound to arise. But
they can imitate the bottle and label only no one can imitate the contents.
Duffy's Pore
Halt Whiskey
Is Beneficial
It is an absolutely pure distillation
of malted grain. Its palatability and
its freedom from injurious substances
render it so that it can be retained by
the most sensitive stomach. It has
been used with remarkable results in
the treatment of consumption, pneu

malaria, low fevers, stomach troubles
and all wasted and diseased conditions.
