DESTROY THE VILLAGE

Cape Haytien, Aug. 27.-The village
of Limbo, eighty-two miles north of
Port au Prince, has been attacked and
recaptured by troops of the provisional
government. Limbo was in the posses
sion of Firminite soldiers from the
Artibonite district. The fighting was
severe and lasted from midnight to
midday. Many men on both sides
were killed. The town was completely
destroyed by fire. The defenders OF
Limbo were reinforced by marines
landed from the gunboat Crete-a-
Pierrot, which is in the F1rminite
service. General Alexis Nord has
gone forward to take command of the
troops of the provisional government.
A battle also took place at Marine

lATIMER IN THE LEAD.
Likely to. Succeed Senator McLaurin
of South Carolina.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 27.-Demo-
cratic primaries for the nomination of
governor and state ticket, congress
sional representatives and state legis-
lators were held throughout this state
during the day. Ballots were also cast
to determine a successor to United
States Senator McLaurin. 1t is esti.
mated that 10000 votes were recorded,
but on account of late returns only
10000 votes had been reported up to
midnight.
Owing to the South Carolina primary
law, which demands that successful
candidates must receive majority OF
the votes cast in primaries, it is en-
tirely probable that second primary
will be ordered, in which the two lead
ing candidates for every office who
failed to receive a nominating vote
will be entered. Every nomination,
with the single exception of state treas.
urer, was bitterly contested.
From returns that have been re-
ceived it is understood that D. G. Hey
ward of Colleton is far ahead in the
race for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, with ex-Congressman Tolber
second and Lieutenant Governor
James H. Tillman third.
Partial returns from forty-one coun-
ties show that in the contest for
the United States senatorship to sue
coed Senator McLaurin, Congressman
Latimer leads and therefore will be
in the second primary. His probable
competitors will be either D. G.. Hen
derson of Aiken or ex-Congressman ].
]. Hemphill.
At 8 o'clock a. m, according to COM
plete returns from all over the state.
Congressman Latimer leads the race
for United States senator with over
Il, 900 votes.

NO OFFICIAL MOVE.
United States Has Not Been Asked to
Intervene in Venezuela.

United States Has Not Been Asked to
Intervene in Venezuela.
Washington, Aug. 27.-In view of
cable reports from Europe Indicating
that movement is on foot to have the
United States join Germany, France
and other powers with view to sup
pressing the disorder in Venezuela, it
is learned at the state department
that no such move as the one sug-
gested has aiken official form. 1t is
the belief of officials that the report
grows out of the request made by some
OF the foreign powers about a month
ago that the United States join in a
declaration that the blockade estab-
hshed by the Venezuelan government
was ineffective. At that time the
American government declined to en-
ter into concert for this declaration,
on the theory that if the Venezuelan
blockade was ineffective it was quite
needless to make an international dec
laration of this fact, as the Ineffective
ness of the blockade would serve all
the practical needs of commerce.
Since then there have been no steps
taken by the foreign powers toward
q concert of action with the United
States relative to Venezuela.

IOWA LAW KNOCKED OUT.
Act to Take Children From Incompet-
ent Mothers Held Invalid.

NV " arc IlSOt1HCb
ent Mothers Held Invalid.
Keokuk, Ia, Aug. 27.-A new law
passed by the last legislature at the in
stance of the most advanced social
lists was declared unconstitutional in
court here at the end of the trial of the
first case in Iowa, brought under it.
The new law provided for taking chill
dren from incompetent mothers and
placing them in better homes. The
court held that the act has not the
proper title and does not give the
right of trial by jury, as proceedings
may be brought before the mayor of
cities, who has summary jurisdiction.
Notice of appeal was given and the
case will go to the supreme court for
further determination of the constftu-
tionality of the law and several legal
points.
The trial of the case lasted two days.
The case was that of a poor working
woman with a baby less than a year
old, which the philanthropic society
and club women and secretary of the
Associated Charities attempted to put
under better auspices. They secured
the child while the mother was away
and it has been in the custody of the
police since found by the mother and
proceedings were begun in court.
The case excited interest all over the
state and among scientific siologists
everywhere. The new Iowa law was
passed last winter and is entirely
new in American Jurisprudence relat-
ing to the family and lawyers consider
1t very broad and radical.

WAR WITH THE BLACKS
CONFLICT IMMINENT BETWEEN
BRITISH AND NATIVES IN
SOUTH AFRICA.
TROOPS SENT TO THE FRONT

Strong Force of English Soldiers Dis.
patched to the Western Border of
the Transvaal Owing to Disturbances
Among the BIacks-Latter Are
. Constantly Making Attacks on Beers
Returning to Their Farms.
johannesburg, Aug. 27.-A strong
force of British troops has been dis
patched to the western border of the
Transvaal ostensibly to relieve troops
ordered to India, but it is currently
reported that this step is taken owing
to disturbances among the natives.
Rumors are also current here of an
intention to annex or establish a pro-
tectorate in Swaziland, where strong
force of constabulary is now posted.
A recent dispatch from London
quoted one of the foremost South
African authorities as follows:
Among the immediate dangers in
the Transvaal, native attacks on Beers
returning to their homes and other as
saults, are threatening to lead to seri-
Gus conflicts between Beers and
blacks.
great number of the blacks in the
country have managed to sec arms.
There is, therefore, the anomalous sit
uation of unarmed whites and armed
blacks living in proximity on outlying
farms"
Natives of the Transvaal have been
reported as wandering about the coun-
try armed with rifles which they have
either pilfered or purchased.

WOODEN MILLS BURN.
Disastrous ConfIagration Occurs at
Prairie du Chen, Wis.

Prairie du Chen, Wis, Aug. 81
Fire broke out late at night in the
Prairie du Chen wooden mills and the
damage will probably reach $150,000
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The flames were first discovered in one
of the floors of the main buildings
where the Offices are located, the en-
CINE and boiler rooms being directly
back OF the offices. he main building.
which contains the Offices, finishing
rooms and shipping rooms on the
first floor and carding and picking
rooms on the second floor, together
with the drying room and pants de
partment on the third floor, are total
loss. The new building just north OF
the main building containing the wash
ing rooms, dye rooms, wool rooms ar
fitted out with the latest machinery,
is also total loss. The large ware
house to the north of the new building,
where hundreds of bales of wool are
stored, was also destroyed. The end
ing house and dye and drug houses
are also in flames, but the fire depart
ment hopes to save portion of these.
The mill is one of the largest in the
state. About 100 persons are en-
ployed in the works.
The fire was got under control early
in the morning and the endangered
buildings were saved.

WANTED IN IOWA
William Taylor, Held Here, Is
to be Extradited.
The Watches and Chains in His Pos
session Were Stolen at Germa-
MIA, Iowa.

William Taylor, who has been in the
custody of the police for a week,
awaiting developments, has finally
been run to earth. He is wanted at
Germania, Iowa, presumably on the
charge of burglary.
Chief Bowen today received a tele-
phone message from Germania asking
in regard to Taylor, and saying that
five watches and some chains had
been stolen there week or more
ago. The Germania officer gave the
numbers of the watches stolen, and a
full description of them as we'll as of
the chains. Two Of the descriptions
Tailed eaxctly with the watches found
on Taylor.
The Germania officer stated that
he would arrive in Mankato at the
earliest possible moment to get Taylor.
The latter was asked whether he
would go to Iowa without requisition
papers, and he replied that he would
AOt. 1uo OoI uduAd Ou1CSI Sdlu GudL
he would go to Des Moines at once
and get the necessary papers. He will
probably arrive in Mankato tomorrow
or Thursday.
Taylor denies that he was ever in
Germania and claims not to know
where it is. However, he has been
in an ugly frame of mind since learn
ing that he is to be taken there. He
claims that he bought the watches and
chains of man who stole them, but
refuses to divulge in what town he
made the purchase.
Taylor has practically admitted that
he is crook, but has told the officers
right along that it was for them to
look up his record and not for him to
tell it. Today he is grumbling about
the law that permits DRINKS to be
locked up and suspicious characters
held for investigation.
Germania is small place on the
road short distance BE-
low the Minnesota line. 1t is but a
few miles from the Omaha road.

COUNTRY LIFE.

. Americans have developed craze
for country homes. You see them on
every side, the homes of rich men and
the homes of poor men, but all unique
in design and comfortable for summer
use. Like golf the craze is an encour-
aging sight as it shows Americans
have strong liking for healthy out
of-door life, despite their tendency
toward centering in large, unhealthy
cities. These same people will be
greatly pleased with golden grain belt
beer for it brings health and freshness
to those who use it regularly. Every
glass contains the strength Of bread
and meat in liquid form. Order of
your dealer or be supplied by M. J.
Smith, Mankato.
