because of his ability, legal knowledge
and patriotism he was assigned as judge
advocate of one of the most important
tribunals eve convened.
The trial of Macmillan, which Senior
Aspiroz describes, was perhaps the most
dramatic court martial in all history.
San Luis Potosi, the little mud-walled
city where it was held, took on a holiday
aspect for the event. The trial was held
in the Theater Iturbide, the largest audi
torium in the place.
The military court sat IN the stage. The
insurgent generals and the noted civ
ilians from the City Of Mexico occupied
the boxes. The body Of the hall was
packed with as excited a Mexican audi
ence as ever gathered to see a bull fight.
Senior AspiroZ, the newly appointed
Mexican ambassador, acted as prOsecut-
ing attorney for the newly risen Mexican
republic. He was a young man then, and
he presented the case against the cap
tured monarch with fiery, almost fero-
ciouS. eloquence.
Then came upon the stage some of

Macmillan.
The court merely listened in sullen on

The verdict of the court came quickly
and decisive. 1t was Guilty" and the
sentence was death.
Five days later, the 10th Of June, was
set for his execution.

Macmillan lad refused the means of
escape offered to him by the German
Prince Salm-Salm and his plucky Amer
lean wife, the Princess Salm-Salm who
returned to this country only last week.
When Macmillan was brought out be-
fore the file of soldiers VIII 0 were to shoot
him and his two generals, Miramon and
Mejia, his final plea to the officer in
charge was that they might be spared
and he alone suffer the death penalty.
The only answer was a volley and the
three fell together.
Ferdinand Macmillan Joseph, who for
three years had been emperor of Mexico,
was but 35 years old at the time of his
death.
As Archduke of Austria and Viceroy of
Venice he had laid aside those honOrs to
take up the empty title of Emperor of a
barbaric nation. He went to Mexico IN
willingly, but urged by Napoleon III. of
France. This was a part of the ~latter's
scheme to set up a monarchy in Mexico
that would be friendly to France.
French soldiers had prepared the way
by capturing the City of Mexico and the
oa,trol ,,payipoac Mo vtp1i1i1 nn bis ar
rival became a puppet ruler under
French military protection.
When the failure Of Napoleon's plot
was forseen the French troops were with
drawn, in February, 1867. MaXimilian's
doom was certain from that time.

uuent brushes with the Cheyennes those
days. They were a hard lot l tell YOU.
The last fight we had with the Indians
was on August 6, 1860. They were armed
with bows and arrows, and q part Of our
men fell into their ambush. We could
see the boys in blue battling hard with
the red devils, and We're ordered to mount
and go to their relief.
On the way there we had to cross a
ravine, the edges 70 which were abrupt.

mosquito does no harm. He never goes
INTO a house except by accident and then
drinks only pure water. He is a fastid-
lous little fellow and dislikes human be-
ings because they are not clean enough
for him.. The female mosquito has a
cosmopolitan disposition. She has de-
veloped a taste for blood sucking and is
dirty in her habits. Her paradise is in
the loWlands, but those who have been in
the mountains will recall seeing many of
her kind in the woods and along streams.
This is because she thrives in all lands
and can live as We'll in the Adirondacks
or the Rockies, as her ancestors did in
the tropics
DR.. Walter Scheele, who has made a
long study of the mosquito with a view
to eXterminating it from this country, has
come to the conclusion that the only
way to do so is to Danish all marshes
and swamps, and to drain out all stag
nant pools. Even this is not wholly
effective, but it destroys the most deadly
of the mosquito family and the others we
should not care about.
So remember that the little bite which
is merely a sensation, and which passes
away in the evening, is from the salt
water mosquito. But the bite which
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-04-29

is painful when you wake up the next
morning and continues to swell during
the next day, and to trouble you two or
three days is the stagnant water mosqul-1
to bite and should be attended to for 1t,
bears fever, all sorts of diseases and even
insanity germs.
! DR.. Scheele who has traced the mosqui-
to finds four most interesting stages OF
it's development. =
In the first stake of its developments
the mosquito is a c~onglomerate mass OF
different bacteria and mlscrObeS formed
by decomposed matter. This decompos-,
ed matter holds a quantity of vegetable
and animal albumen, which has been
| slowly extracted from dead plant or ami
NAL substances.
Now this albumenitself in a state Of
! decomposition is a deadly poison.
The bacteria of the mosquito grow
very fast. In the second stage, 1t is a
little hairlike worm, with some power of
motion. After 2 few hours it enters into
the third stage, and becomes a ball-llke
creature that keeps constantly turning
around. In it's fourth stage it comes to
! the surface of the water, fully developed,
except the wings. which, though present,
mcguire a short growth before the insect
is ready to rise from the water.
When at last this fifth stage arrives
there is a most important point to be
noted .
Recent requirements prove that as soon
as a mosquito flies from the foul water
CT it's birth it is charged with a surplus
Of the albumirous poison that must be
gotten rid of Immediately. If it can
find no means of discharging this over
supply the mosquito will die very short
ly. Hence, as soon as 1t rises from the
water it instinctively seeks to preserve
its life by singing and injecting the in
furious albumen into the only object that
will receive it, which is the flesh of either
man or beast. This makes the moSQui-
to just entering upon the activities of life
and rising from the water the most dan
! gerous one to- meet.
In thus saving its own life the mosqui-
to %inoculate the object it stings with a
deadly poison. That this poison does
not always nave the same effect, some
times causing death and at other times
only a slight irritation, is due to the sys-
tenn.

DEATH FROM A MOSQUITO Bite.

The first death from a mosquito bite
comes from the home Of the mosquito
in New Jersey. a Trenton man went to
visit his daughter and, while walking out
on a sunny morning, was bitten by a
swamp mosquito. The wound became
painful, blood poisoning developed. and
Today, Samuel Jenkins lies dead, the
first victim of the mosquito season.
If it is any comfort to know it, mos
uuitoes are of three kinds, the fresh wa
ter mosquito, the salt water cousin OF the
same family and the %stagnant water pro-
duct, which is a near relative of the
fresh water.
The most poisonous mosquito is born
and bred in the fresh water. He energies
from the little raft which forms his
house during his breeding existence, full
of poison, and woe to the first person he
meets after leaving home. The stagnant
water mosquito, while more deadly than
the fresh water. is sluggish; and unless
he is hungry he will not modest you.
People stopping at the sGashore can COM
fort themselves with the thought, that,
though the salt water mosquito is numer-
Gus, he is not poisonous and no death
has ever occurred from his bite.
On the other hand the mosquito that
rises from the picturesque little pond is
filled with deadly germs; and, unless the
blood is pure, he causes a great deal of
skin irritation. Injected into a dis
eased system or one that is not able to
combat the germs. he produces fever and
some forms Of malaria. His worst eff
fectg have been insanity. but this is only
when his first bite has been received by
a person in poor health. Mosquito bites
often kill young children causing a few
er, which is often attributed to summer
disorders.
Science has been vainly looking for an
antidote for the bite of the mosquito. If
a bite has been received, which is known
or suspected to contain malignant germs,
the best artidote is a laxative taken in
t~ernally and an external application Of
ammonia diluted with water. If the
skin can bear it. the ammonia can be ap-
piled pure. Although whisky is an ex-
cellent antidote for the snake bite it is
not effective, for the mosquito bite. 1t
Supplies the patient leaving him all the
more susceptible to the mosquito germs.

Halifax, N. S., July 12.-The steamer
Portia, from New York for HALIFAX,
was wrecked during a dense fog on
Linn's island, off Sambro, point about
fifteen miles to the eastward OF Halifax.
The passengers and crew, 1I6, all told,
landed on the island in the ships boats
and are all comfortably housed there
No loss of life is reported. As soon as
all the people had been safely landed
Capt. Farrell started for the mainland
with boats crew and reached Sam
bro, whence he sent the news Of the
disaster to Halifax by telephone. Fortu-
nately the weather was moderate and
the sea running was not high, else the
landing of those on board the steamer
could not have been accomplished
without great danger and, perhaps, loss
of life. The steamer is already full of
water and total wreck. The passen-
gers, of whom there are seventy-fve.
are nearly all tourists. The steamer
had large cargo for this port and St.
Johns, N. F. The place where she
struck is known as Big Fish shoal and
is one and half mile. west of the light

Befell the State.

Austin, Tex, July 12. - Gov. Sayers
entire day working in behalf of flood
sufferers swarnling up and down the
Brazos river bottoms. Reports from
the stricken district yesterday are to
the effect that while the waters are
rapidly receding the condition of the
sufferers is improving very little. The
governor received official reports from
Velasco. the southernnost point, that
everything was in fairly good condition
there with twenty two feet of water pre-
vailipg. He has received telegram
from the citizens OF Hearns stating
that, they had fought alone as long as
they; could and would now have to ask
public aid; that all of the property of
the people OF that section had been
laid waste, they were starving and
homeless, and asked for money, food
and clothing. Their wants will be sup
piled at once. County Judge Bell, at
Belleville, wired that there were 1900
sufferers in the counties of Mills creek
and 1000 in the creek bottoms in abso-
lutte need. From numerous other por-
tions of the flooded districts similar re-
ports came pouring in, and their re-
quests for aid were at once referred to
the various relief stations being estab-
lished along the flooded district. Gov.
Sayers stated that the effort on the part
of some to belittle the damage attend
ant upon this flood was actuated by
motives that he could not understand,
that during his long residence in Tex
as he had never seen worse calamity
befall its people, and that from reports
he had at his disposal he was led to
believe that the list of suffering would
be very large.
