IS ROME REPORT
liOMK.via Paris, April 24. The
Torriere d'Otalia, the cleiieal orsan,
declares that it is able to confirm
reports, published in the Spanish
newspairs, that the immediate fol
lowing of the German emperor is ex
erting pressure on him to abdicate.
The japer says that at a recent meet
ing of the Hohenxollem familv, one
member, bolder than the rest, inti
; mated that the emHror might save
j the situntion by following the exain
: pie of Emperor Nicholas.
The Gennan monarch is reported
to have turned tvale and after observ-jiL-aitist
him left the room, muttering:
"We sdiall see." The same evening he
summoned another family council.
The chancellor and some of the min
isters wen present but whatever
passed remains unknown.
Little imMirtanee is attached to
this story in Italian jtolitical circles.
In these quarters it is thought that
the story has a German origin and is
j put out with the intention of influ
encing opinion.

GERMAN REVOLT
IN BRAZIL LIKELY
RIO JANIEKO, April 14. Tele
grams received here from Parana eon-
firm reports that the Germans in
southern Brazilian states are con
jCentrating in the state of Santa Cath
jarina. It is declared the German in
surrection in the south is imminent.
Deputy Jose Xabuco de Gouves. of
I Rio Grande do Sol. returned to Rio
(Janiero today and he was able to con
firm the reports that recent disturb
ances in Porto Alepre were caused by
lliennans. He declared that the na
; tive population was determined to
1 crush the Germans if they did not de
sist from their efforts.
Tlie Creator Medford club lias de
cided upon Friday evening of this
week fur the farewell reception to be
given under its auspices to the Sev
enth Company, 0. A. (,'. Tlie Wood
burn company, O. X. G., the Grand
Annv Mist and the Women's Hclief
Corns are tu be tlie guests of the
evening.
A supper will bo served to those
guests and the Seventh company at
6:;i0'p. m. at the Xntatoriiim. The
reception proper wilt begin nt 8
o'clock, and will be held ut the Xata
torium in the large hull upstairs. The
entire public of Medford and vicinity
are urgently invited to attend the re-1
eeption at 8 o'clock and be a part of i
the sincere expression of the deep
appreciation felt for the members of
the Seventh company.
The evening promises to be most !
enjoyable. A splendid musical pro
gram has been prepared, which will
be enhanced by appropriate costum
ing of some of the participants.
Dancing will follow this program.
While the affair of Friday night is
in the nature of a farewell reception,
no orders nor intimation has as yet
been received as to jut when the
Seventh company ill depart from
iredford. Thoe in charge of the
reception, however, deemed it wise
!to hold the reception soon, for fear
the company might be ordered away
any moment and the opportunity
would be lost of paying the organiza
tion a formal tribute.
The discovery Monday morning of
the charred remains of a Bmall wood
fire 'beneath tho covered material
shed of the Medford Sanli and Door
company, and alinoHt against a wall
of the main factory Mnicluro, has
every appearance of an attempt to set
fire to the plant.
Manager Paul Hansen and the em
ployes of the company are consider
ably nuzzled over the matter. The
fire may have burned either Satur.
day or Sunday night. On neither
night was there a watchman on duty.
Adding further mystery to the fire
is the fact that whoever started it
left behind his hat, a hat of felt ma
terial, without a hand, and 6 3-4
size. It Is thought that the sup
posed incendiary may have been
frightened away and in his excite
ment forgot the hat.
Whatever the origin and purpose
of the fire, the plant had a close call.
The fire, after it was started and
had burned for some time, apparent
ly burned itself out before it could
reach and Ignite the wall.

THK GKKAT DIVIDE
The woman in the prime of life
need not dread to meet the loss of her
i youth when growing elderly. While
jsome charms diminish, others should
j replace them chnrms of experience,
j cultivation, .wisdom. The great phy-
txal changes met between the fortieth
j and fiftieth year are indeed serious,
land are not always well borne. In
j the strain of modern life, few women
are in condition to meet these changes
j without some apprehension cf de
ranged health. But with the excel
lent help of Lvdia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound, thct old, trustwor-
thy woman's medicine, a woman may
j confidently expect to enter later life
las well and robust as ever.
