This will constitute the first a-rnied force to land in Nicaragua if developments in the situation within the next few days require such -course to be pursued. All will depend upon the action to so taken by the state department, which is marking time pending the re ceipt of additional details of the kill 1n of the two Americans, Grace and -Cannon. The departure of the marines comes as a result of rush orders sent to the League Island navy yard, after the state department received' the prelim iaary report of the slaying by Presi dent Zelaya's orders of trie ti men It - had been Intended to send the v-airlnes to Panama to relieve about i) marines now on duty there.

Tool Found in East Gallery Instead of Bodies, but Dinner Palis Are Gone, Indicating That Men May Bo at Extremity of Mine Manager Tay lor Is Worn Out ana 'Leaves tor Brief Rest Cherry, 111., Nov. 23. The situation to date in the St. Paul mine disaster w as follows: Number trapped in juiiu-, 310; rescued alive, 20; bodies iecov red. 101; still unaccounted tor, 18U. Efforts to reach men possibly stiu alive were made In two directions oast and west. In the latter betuou the attempt was made at the third or bottom gallery. Scarcely a kinsman of the missing was at the scene at any time, but c. forts to explore underground conun ued with uuabated vigor, bowus o. volunteers worked against tno mosi exasperating odds to extend tlie li.iur of tbeir explorations. Earth and coal were removed only to be followed by other deluges noui the crumbling passages. Hat eat.. check was met with a desperate re turn to tbe attack. , "They're still alive down thero,' was the watchword of every workei, although evidence In support of it ww pathetically meager. The first tangible ray of hope came when men at work in the east work ings broke through a fall of earth where it had been expected by experts that a large number of bodies would be found. Not oue was discovered Instead, in a tool closet hewed out Cl the earth, a great many mining lm plernents were found, as laid down apparently when the men came there to cat v A fact regarded as significant was that not a dinner pail remained. Fron this It was argued that the men, una ble to escape when the Are was dls covered, retreated to some extremity of the mine, carrying their food with them. , The next flame of hope came with the discovery that the bottommost gallery, west, was not sufficiently flooded' to impede progress. It was this section of the mine which formed the subject of a conference be tween the union and Manager Taylor The delegation, headed by President McDonald, Insisted that an attempt be made to explore the third gallery, generally believed to be of little lm portance. At the time of the catastro phe little, If any, work was being don in this section, the men being engage !n the rich bods of the second gallery Mr. Taylor, however, was- Impressed with the theory that the men cut off in the second gallery might have found their way into the gallery below where there is no lire. The tenseness of the nerves of the rescuers is shown by a rcniarkrble In cltlent. A man who proved to hav been dead many days was believed to be alive when brought to the mirlac and was rushed to the hoaplt il car. The mistake, however, soon beranifi apparent. Manager Taylor of the mine, wora out by days and nll;ts of work and aaxtely, left Cherry for a brief rst. GOttPERS SCOPES LA WYCSS Says Thejr prevent Getting Cood Lia bility Legialatien.

Wescotfs Sons THE HOME OF SATISFACTION. One Good Turn Dewerrefi Another. A number of years ago when the city went out of the light business, Melcholr Soennichaen thought he would show the people what real generosity was and he bought a car load of lanterns so that they might wend their way home in light and happiness. These lanterns he glad ly handed out to the public asking no recompense and getting none. Many a household rejoiced that Mel- choir was to the fore with his gen erous Impulses and the husband man proudly plowed through the night a shining evidence of what It is to be a good man. Mr. Soen nlchsen's store was crowded day and night with people clamoring, ofr lanterns and he d(spn?d - light right and left. Now that the city has again went Into the light business and the hills and hollows will soon be lighted by the electric beacon. Melcholr thinks it no moro than right that all who borrowed his lanterns return them to him so he can send them In to the factory and get a rebate, One good turn de serves another as Melcholr lighted the way of the head of the house when all was dark, now It is up to them to return to him his light. He. only requests that all those hav ing lanterns do not all come In at once. It Isn't so difficult to strengthen a weak Stomach if one goes at it cor rectly. And this is true of tbe Heart and Kidneys. The old fashioned way of dosing the Stomach or stimulating the Heart or Kidneys Is surely wrong. Dr. Shoop first pointed out this errr. "Go to the weak or ailing nerves of these organs," said he. . Each Inside organ has Its controlling or "lnsld nerve." When these nerves fall then those organs must surely falter. This vital truth Is leading druggists every where to dispense and recommend Dr. Shoop's Restorative. A few days' test will surely tell! Sold by all dealers T5me Good Dressing!
