A Dog the Cause.


E. E. Shepard. the young man
reported missing in yesterday 5
HERALD, came In yesterday even
ing, and gave a reporter the fol-
lowing particulars regarding the
matter: Saturday night heIeft here
to go TO the Arroyo, When about
twenty-five miles out, he was pass
ing a Mexican house when a dog
ran out and jumped up TO bite him,
tearing a large three-coTnered hole
in two pair of pants which he was
wearing, and he killed the dog.
No demonstration was made that
night, and Shepard went ontoward
his destination. On Sunday morn
ing he returned, and when he start
ed past house near where the dog
met his fate the night before, five
Mexicans were standing near the
fence, all armed with winchesters.
One of them called to the young
man, and asked why he had killed
the dog. On being told the reason,
the Mexican asked if hewould pay
for the dog Shepard promptly told
him no, the question being re-
peated several times, always receiy-
ing the same answer The Aph
who was spokesman for the party
then picked up his winchester,
stepped ont from the crowd and
fired nine shots at the young man,
none OF which took effect. Shepard
wheeled his horse and fired four
shots in return, but does not know
whether any of them struck the
man. He then turned his horse
down the road at gaIlop, two
Mexicans on horseback and three
on foot following him. He broke
the stirrup off his saddle and when
he turned to get it the Mexicans
turned and ran, evidently think
ing he had decided to give them a
warm reception He fixed his sad
die and went on, the i've men still
following. He crossed a resaca
horseback, the Mexicans crossing
after him. His horse by this time
was completely given out, and was
abandoned, Shepard remaining IN
the brush near for awhile, but con
sidering there were so many Of
them, they might easily surround
him, and take his life. he decided
to leave the horse and come on
afoot. One more shot was fred
from ambush, which did no harm.
Coming to the same resaca again
lower down, Shepard had to swim
It, and started in with his clothes
and gun all on. When he reached
about midway of the water the gun
had either 10 be lost or the young
man drown, and the gun was drop
ped. He crossed IN safety and
walked p miles TO town arriving
yesterday afternoon. L Is reported
that two Of thes shots fired by young
Shepard grazed the Mexican who
did the first shooting, Que on either
side of the body, but the report
has not been confirmed The horse
was brought IL yesterday morning
and the occurrence reported. It
was a close call and the young man
Is glad to be at home again.

Attorney J L. Hudson is having
about forty acres of land cleared
near town and will plant it in al
falfa and onions. He will put IN
his own pumping outfit and ir-igate
the land from a large resaca nearly.
Mr.. Hudson has faith in the pro-

and is showing his faith by his
works. He knows that both alfal-
ia and onions do well here, and ex-
poets TO reap a good profit from
the two crops. DIR. Bell will also

| resting on head. At count two you l should be in starting position. which
 means that the right foot is to be
 brought back until its heel meets the left heel: that the trunk is to be straightened; that the right bell is to
 be returned to the right hip. Repeat | four times. reverse charging. bending and arm raising four times, then alter-
 nate the whole. each four times. The third picture represents perhaps | the most graceful motion of all. Take | cross step position backward left;
 swing the right arm over to the left; turn head to right Evensa neck exer- else Is involved in this, you see. so your double chin or scrawny neck. as the case may be. incidentally having It's | treatment.
 These complex motions are too elaborate to be covered in less than | volume. so you must work them out | for yourselves if you are ingenious enough to do so. If not. attend to the
 simple ones. few of which can be given here.
 The direction "bend knees" means
 that the knees are to be bent as much ! as you can. This brings the body to- ward the floor in a squatting position Now give this careful attention; raise | the arms forward. holding bells verti- cally; bend knees at the same time; this for count one. For count two place bells on shoulder. straighten
 knees and rise on toes. For count
 three. extend arms sideways. coming down on heels. For count four. return
 to first position.
 splendid exercise for reducing the l flesh, If performed very rapidly, is this l Charge sideways left at the same time bending trunk sideways, left; swing the left arm obliquely sideways until bell | touches floor: extend right arm ver-
 tically upward. Upon reading this 1t
 may seem too much for one count, but you will understand 1t when you come
 to put 1t into practice. Count two brings you back to first position. Charge backward left, extending l arms obliquely upward at the sides. | Remember that the charging knee is
 bent. the other rigid. The bells are in | an oblique position in this movement. Charge obliquely forward, left, ex-
 tending right arm obliquely backward | and left arm upward.
 Twist trunk to left. extend right arm | forward and left arm upward. A rather ungracefu1 but very bene-
 fcial exercise is this: Bend the trunk
 backward at the same time taking step
 position forward left and folding the
 arms in front of the shoulders. | Take these exercises in heelless slip- pers-the ordinary Turkish slipper
 will do or a felt bedroom slipper if you you have no gymnasium shoes. Let ev-

 down your back if you want to be per
 fectly free; otherwise you may be
 afraid of disturbing the knot when you raise the bell to the crown, and | any carefulness is fatal to free exer. | else.

Circulation is the end and aim of 1 the new school of dumbbell exercises.
 Not the building up of rock-like mus
 cles. as in the crude days of physical l training for women. the days when en- | thusiasm ran so high that the purpose | of the work was often defeated by the | oserdoing of the good work.
 Health and beauty are the two things which physicial training intend- ed to give to women" say the, up-to- date instructors. If girls are over to reason that health and beauty won't be achieved. A certain amount of muscle building rounds out the form and makes it lovely. but the main ob- ject Is to get up a good circulation"
 When you think of what circulation means to you. the value of this kind of exercise Is made plain. First of all, 1t is the best. the most lasting, the most durable form Of rouge. There is no .carmine like that which nature paints in a healthy girls cheeks: that is not poetry. but solid fact. No pre- paraticn of rouge has ever been in- vented which is not slightly different in appearance from the real rose. no matter how skillfully applied. l have given to inquiries a recipe for rouge; and have recommended a wash which, applied to the cheeks. reddens them; but these are makeshifts at best. Use them if you will. but work meanwhile to produce the real color.
 Dumbbells are as good form of apparatus for general work as any that you can use in a small room. The new exercises differ radically from the old in that they combine leg and trunk motions with the dumbbell motions, and this means that the whole body Is brought into play at one time. that the blood Is started circualting from the head to foot. and that development lis not given to the upper part of the body alone. While arms and shoulders are immensely benefited by the motions the gain is a general one-one that per tains to every organ.
 Here comes in the second benefit of circulation--that is, the one that prob- ably seems second to you girls. Be- sides serving as rouge, 1t means more to your general health than any bot tied tonic that the druggists sell. Stimulating the circulation of the blood aids the digestive organs marvellously. | Lungs. heart, all the rest of them are encouraged to attend better to their duties. Think of what all this means | to your beauty-to the banishing of hollow cheeks, dark circles under the eyes, parched lips, muddy complexions. In the beginning you must learn the dumbbell motions alone. then gradu- | ally combine other motions
 The first position is standing erect,
 with the bells held upon the hips.
 Raise them to the shoulders, hold | ing the bells vertically with their ends resting upon the shoulder, the palm of the hand toward the front. All of these motions are practiced first with the right hand, then the left,

then alternately and lastly with both together.
 Raise the bells to the top of the head same position as on shoulders.
 Raise them vertically. extendeing the arm straight up above the head.
 Extend the arms forward on level with the shoulders, bell held vertical iy.
 Extend the arms to the sides at shoulder level
 Raise right arm and reach with bell over le1t shoulder, so that your elbow points to the front.
 Having mastered these simple move ments--the foundation upon which fu- ture work is based--take up the first step position movements. Step posi- ticn means a placing outward of one foot. toe pointed. heel raised. Step position right means the placing of the right foot outward to tho right side. Step position forward left means a placing of the left foot forward, the toe turned out as matter of course.
 Now combine these foot movements with, the exercise given above. For instance: take a step position left and raise the right arm above the head, bell held vertically and resting on top of head. The second count brings foot and arm back to first position.
 Again. with left foot take cross step position in front, extending right arm upward, bell held vertically in the air.
 ]. You can make for yourself an in- finite number of variations, supplying the directions for alternating and re- versing the movments.
 Next. introduce knee bending. This is one exercise: take a side step posi- tion forward left and bend right knee "A step position may be to the side or backward Combine with dumbell movement.
 Next, introduce trunk bending--to the front, side and rear. You now see the principle of all this work-all the time that the arms are at work with the bells, the legs or waist mus cles are also at work keeping the cir culation evenly stimulated from head to foot instead of allowing 1t to be stimulated in the upper part of the body alone. The exercises in the pic. lures may have looked complex and difficult in the beginning, but they ars clearing up now. The one showing bells above the head Is this: take cross step position backward left, bending right knee and raising arms upward hips and bring foot back to starting point. Reverse step position after foui repetitions, then alternate. Charging different from taking step position in that the knee is bent-the one charging, that is--while the knee at position remains rigid. Thus charge forward left" means placing the left foot forward with a big step and bend . ing the left knee. When you under stand this you can accomplish the beau- tifully graceful bend in which the poser's back is toward you. The di- rections are these Charge sideways right, bending trunk sideways left and raising right arm above head with bell

Growing Trade With Japan.
Louisville Courier-Journal

Some idea of the expansion of our Pacific commerce is shown in the state- ment that on one day during the past week there were shipped from Tacoma. Wash, S0.o00 tons of cargo, chiefly arr my supplies for Japan. of the value oe $1.500.OO0. The freight included loco- motive cars.S structural steel, tobacco, electrical supplies. $500 bales of cotton. 10000 barrels of salmon, and 5O,e00 barrels of flour, besides a large amount of miscellaneous articles. Large quan- titles of steel rails are also being ship ped to Japan. four cargoes of them hav- ing been forwarded within a few weeks. The shipment of cotton from a point so remote from the field of its production illustrates what saving of freight will be affected by the Pana- ma Canal.

 It takes a hard blow at the pocket book such as crop failure, to show some people tho advantages of diversi- fled farming. Every poor wheat year has been followed by greatest attention to other crops in the localities where the failure was most felt These ex- periences have taught the farmers that wheat land will do splendidly for other things besides wheat, and that some of the other crops bring more re- liable returns.
