a Joke In a Serious Place.

Certainly no one would think of read
ing a dictionary for amusement or
pleasure-as the freshman said, he
would lose the thread Of the story in
the great mass of detail. Nor would
one expect to find jokes in such a book,
barring Mark Twains about the car
buncle. But that learned and other
wise serious dictionary, the Century,
contains at least one iaughable entry.

was known to have had more than $4,000
on her person which she secured when
she cashed a draft for that amount at
one of the banks during the day. When
she appeared at the bank to cash the
order she was accompanied by a man
who closely answers the description of
a suspect now under arrest at EIroy,

dent of Minneapolis and an employe
of the Chicago and Great Western
Railway as an engineer. He met Miss
Ellison some ten years ago.
brother of the dead woman who is
now here says his sister sold out her
millinery business in Ellsworth with

in a farm In Washington, which Riggs

understanding in Miss Ellison's family
that she was on her wedding trip and
that she would settle down in her own
home on the farm in Washington.
"She took all her money and nego-
table papers with her at the time she
left home The amount is variousIy
estimated, but l am positive she had at
least $4,000, and II may have been as
much as S6000." said the brother.

The brewers of the United States, as

SMALL REPUBLICS
AGAIN At WAR.
Hostilities Break Out
Anew Between Qua
temala and Salvador
Fighting Occurs on the
Border After Attempt
to Adjust the Issue

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Hostilities
between Salvador and Guatemala have
broken out anew on the border be-
tween these countries, where peace
was supposed to have been established
pending settlement of the trouble be-
tween the two countries. Leslie NJ.
Combs, the American Minister to Qua
temala, who was on his way to the
United States to assist in settling the
difficulties between Salvador and Qua
temala, has been ordered back to
Guatemala City from Champerico, Qua
temala, where he was reached by cable.
Combs will remain In the Guatemalan
capital to keep the United States adj
vised concerning the trouble and to
protect American interests.
Salyadoran and Guatemalan troops
have been massed near the common
boundary of the two countries for
some time and a serious clash was ex-
pected, but temporary armistice
seemed to have been agreed upon and
Salvador announced that J. r. Pacus
had been named as special envoy to
Washington for the purpose of making
representations to the American Gov
ernment concerning Salvador's posi-
tion. John Jenkins. the American Con-
sui General at Salvador, was to accom-
pany Pacus to this country.
Salvador's alleged assistance of rev.
olutionists in Guatemala, who are at
tempting to overthrow President Ca
brera, caused Guatemala to protest Bit
terly to the United States and Mexico
and resulted in representations to Sal
vador by those two republics which
indicated that they resented foreign
interference in the internal affairs of
Guatemala.
AS soon as the position of the United
States was made clear Salvador an
nounced that Pacus would come to
Washington to explain the situation,
Guatemala indicating a Willingness to
have the United States act as mediator.
Reassuring reports reached the State
Department concerning the internal
conditions in Guatemala. 1t was be-
lieved that President Cabrera had put
down the revolution and that the row
with Salvador would soon be amicably
settled.
