CUTS OFF HAND
Frank Kendall of Thomson ereck
is getting along nicely in the Sacred
Heart hospital and there is now hope
that he may recover the use of his
right hand which he nearly severed
with an ax last week while fighting
bumble bees.
With several other men Kendall
was nt work cutting out a new forest
trail near the Wagner creek trail in
the Applegatc district when while
slushing thru some brush he stirred
up a nest of bumble bees. The bees
attacked him and he fought them
with his right hand while ho held his
double bluded ax in his left hand, and
accidentally brought his right wrist
down on the blnde. The blade cut
half thru the wrist, cutting thru the
nerves nnd large artery and even pen
etrating the bone.
His companions managed to stop
the flow of blood nnd tcmornriy
cared for the wound until a horse
could be brought from three miles
nwny. Then Kendall was taken to
Thompson creek and from there was
brought in to Dr. S. A. Lockwnod's
office in Medford. The same night
he was removed to the hospital.

ment yesterday decided to susiiend
the constitutional guarantees. Pre
mier Duto went to the palace to ob
tuiu the king's signature to the de
cree authorizing the suspension.
PARIS, June 2(i. The decision to
suspend constitutional guarantees in
Spuin was reached at n special meet
ing of the cabinet yesterday after
which Premier Dato took to the palace
the decree authorizing the measure,
to obtain the king's sigature. It goes
into effect today.
Dispatches from Madrid give no
special reason for this action. The
constitutional guarantees have been
suspended several times since the out
break of the war and were restored
only recently.
The cabinet headed bv Marquis
Prielo resigned on June 9 becuuse of
inability to cope with the vurious in
ternal difficulties. Widespread labor
troubles, high prices of necessities,
the cutting off of u large part of the
country's exort trade by the subma
rine campaign leading to industrial
depression; dissatisfaction in the
nnny nnd irritation over the persis
tent pro-Clcnnnn propaganda which
has been carried on combined to pro
duce a dangerous situation nnd nt
times thero has been fear of a rev
olutionary movement. The Duto cab
inct was formed on June 12 and sub
sequent press dispatches from Ma
drid said the crisis had passed. '

WITH THE ROOT MISSION EX
ROUTE FROM MOSCOW TO PETRO
ORAD, Sunday. June 24. The Root
mission left Moscow for Petrograd to
night with a distinct sense ot encour
agement.
"I have derived much more encour
agement from my observations of con
ditions in Mlscow than I expected."
said Mr. Root. "It seems clear that
the men we met there and the classes
they represent are patriotically devot
ed to the task of bringing the country
thru her present difficulty. I may
say that I think after visiting Moscow
that there Is a fair chance of their
succeeding.
"I believe that the clouds which
rested over the peasant population
and some of the less informed classes
already shows sign of lifting. They
are attaining a conception of the
meaning of their new liberty and of
the ways to preserve it."
Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 at
Perl's chapel. Burial will be in the
Odd Follows' cemetery.

A cheerful, ligbt-hearted woman is
the joy of a man's life. Beauty will
fade, a good figure will change, but
the charm of health and cheerfulness
will endure to the end. But how can
a woman be cheerful and happy when
dragged down by some female de
rangement, with a backache, headache,-
and often on the verge of a
nervous breakdown.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the standard remedy for
such aliments. During the last 4 0
years thousands of homes have been
made happy by this womaii's great
remedy for woman's Ills.
