Remedy For- Choking.

Raising the left arm as high as you
can, will relieye choking much more
rapidly than the act of humping ones
backs said a physician. "and it is
well that every one should know it,
for often a person gets choked while
eating where, there is mo one near to
thump him. Very frequently at meals
land. when they are at play children
get: .choked while eatings and. the Gus
tomary manner Of relieving them is to
slap them sharply ON the back. The
effect of this is to set the obstruction
: free. The same thing canshe, brought
about by raising the left hand Of the
child as high as possible, and the re-
lief comes much more quickly. In
happenings of this kind. there should
be no alarm, for II. the child; sees that
older persons t.or parents. get, excited
the effect is bad The best thing is
to tell the child to raise its left arm,
and Immediately the difficulty passes

PORTABLE HOUSES IN FIELD.
houses are 6-by feet. 6 feet high in
front. and, 4, feet In the rears, They
are inclosed. with drop siding and GOV
cred with grooved roof, boards and ogee
battens. The floor is made of two inch
planks. These houses are placed on
AS seen in the first cut. the. houses
are located in an alfalfa pasture and
are raised sufficiently to allow the
hogs TO run under. them for shade, q In
this case the houses proper are used
for the storage of feed. Being on rum
ners. they are easily handled by a
team and cam be, placed. on any part
of the farm. When desired. they make
excellent chicken y houses In cold
weather they can be placed under an
open shed or in a protected place and
be very warm .,...z.- e,.
The yards are best made in movable
sections. The lumber required is nine
pieces by inches by II feet (see Sec

These houses have proved, their
merit. especially for early spring and
late fall pigs. They soon pay for them
selves by the increased number Of
pigs saved through their use.
Advantages Of Portable House.

house may be enumerated as follows:

tary OF, all methods, Of housing swine.
Only the simplest Workmanship Is re-
quired to construct 1t. and much odd

who finds it impossible to provide ex-
.pensive quarters for his hegs can. well
afford to build portable houses, as. they

are the draft mules OF the market and

They have more weight than sugar

expected than, the. production Of In

good mules from poor mares. There
will probably always be, more demand
in the south for mules than for work

TAWNfY MAKES FISCAL REVIEW
Demands Upon Congress Are $780,
100000 in Excess of Those OF
Last Session,

Washington, June 2. - Representa-
tive Tawney of Minnesota, chairman
of the committee on appropriations,
Saturday presented to the house his
annual review Of fiscal appropriations
and expenditures.
Mr.. Tawney said that a review of
the demands made upon congress at
this session showed that the esti-
mates for the established public serv-
ice and for previously authorized pub
lie works for the next fiscal year were
more than $156,000,000 in excess of
appropriations made for the same
purpose during the last session of
the Fifty-ninth congress, and that the
demands did not rest in fact upon the
necessities Of the public service, but
were supported mainly by official
recommendations to congress, backed
by the approval of the press of the
country and they consisted largely of
increased compensation to the civil
and military branches of the public
service
Mr.. Tawney stated the total appro-
priatiOns for the session to be $751;
088,670. He said the total revenues
of the government estimated to con-
gress by the secretary of the treasury
are placed at $S7S, 123,011.

/ MAY fXTERMINATE
| YAQUI INDIANS
Mexican Government Is Making
Every Preparation to Re-
sumo Campaign.
OFFICIALS ARE PESSIMISTIC
Indians Offer Hard Terms and a War
of determination Against Reds
May Be Waged.

Mexico City, June 3.-As stated in
these dispatches some days ago the
Mexican government maintains that
any story that peace between the
Yaqui Indians and the federal govern
ment has been declared or is assured
is premature.
On the contrary, the war depart
ment is making every preparation to
resume the campaign against the In
dams should they fail to make the
terms as outlined by the military COM
manders. June Is is the date set
upon which the final decision will be
rendered as to whether absolute
peace or the continuation of a more
vigorous campaign will ensue.
Trouble Is Feared.
The war department is pessimistic
as to the future. The Yaqui chief
Bule, it is thought, will be unable to
control many petty chiefs who seem
determined to continue the struggle.
The Yaquis seem to believe the gov
eminent is incapable Of carrying on
the war further because of past peace
proposals, and hence have made the
following hard terms to the proposed
surrender:
Make Hard Terms.
THAT the Indians should be put in
immediate and complete possession
of the Yaqui country; that they be
allowed to name their own authori-
ties; that no taxes shall be levied
upon them; that the government
troops should Immediately evacuate
the territory and that no man foreign
to the tribes should be allowed to
cross the boundary marking the
Yaquis' district without their con-
sent"
War of determination.
To these proposals the government
has no idea of consenting. While the
government believe that peace in the
region is not far distant, it is cOnsid-
cred that more fighting will yet have
to be waged to gain that desired end.
If necessary the war department is
prepared to wage a war of extermina-
ton against the Indians until such
time as the region in which they in
habit shall be as safe as any other
part of the republic.

noble, Iowa, together with all its
contents, causing a loss of $4,000.
While climbing a tree from which
he expected to shoot birds, Gus Klutz
of Waterloo, Iowa, lost his hold and
fell forty feet sustaining injuries that
caused his death half an hour later.
Gas escaping from an open jet in
the kitchen Of his home in Chicago
caused the death of George Roberts
and his daughter, nineteen years old.
Indications were that the escape of
gas was accidental.
Horrible indeed was the death met
by Samuel James Prout, a seventeen
year-old boy living at Wolverine,
Mich After being missed several
hours a search was instituted and his
body was found in cesspool.

'FILIbUSTFR ENDS:
CONGRESS QUITS
Last Days of Session Made Mem
orable by La Follette's Eff
fort to Talk Bill to Death.
CURRENCY MEASURE IS PASSED
Aldrich-Vreeland Bill Goes Through
Senate-C0llapse of Filibuster
Is Sudden.

Washington, June 2.-Just ten min
utes before the hands of the big round
clocks in the chambers of the two
houses of congress pointed to the
hour of midnight Saturday, the first
session of the Sixtieth congress came
to close.
In the house the closing hours were
characterized by singing of songs by
Republicans in honor of Speaker Can
non and by Democrats in the interest
Of William J. Bryan.
Made Memorable by FiIibuster.
The last days of the senate will be
memorable on account of the filibus-
ter of Messrs. La Toilette, Stone and
Gore against the emergency currency
bill.
At 1870 o'clock the senate adopted
the report of the conferees of the two
houses of congress on the Aldrich-
Vreeland emergency currency bill by
the decisive vote of 43 to %.
FiIibuster in Disfavor.
The downfall Of the filibuster was
tors on both sides were opposed to it.
Senator Gore, the blind orator from
Oklahoma, was left on guard through
out the afternoon. Senator Stone was
to follow him with a speech of about
an hours duration, and Senator La
Toilette hoped to take the floor again
at o'clock to talk as long as his
physical endurance would permit.
When Senator Gore concluded his
speech he sat down. Doubtless he
expected that Senator Stone would be
in waiting, ready to take the floor, but
Senator Stone was reclining on a
sofa in the cloak room.
Fairbanks Puts Question.
When the Oklahoma senator con-
c1uded his speech the vice president
put the question to the senate whether
the conference report on the curren-
cy bill should be adopted. The roll
call was begun before Senator Stone
and Senator La Toilette could reach
the chamber. Futile efforts were
made by the Wisconsin senator to in
terpose objections that would pro-
long the debate and to devise means
to give him opportunity for continued
discussion. He received no encour
agement. When he appealed from a
decision by Vice President Fairbanks
on question of order only nine SEN
ators supported him.
Collapse Is Sudden.
The result came Unexpectedly soon,
but not until the senate had been well
worn out by filibuster which, while
not largely supported, made up in in
tensity what it lacked in numbers.
The obstructive tactics were begun
by Senator La Toilette when the re-
port was taken up by the senate Fri
day; it was prosecuted by him all
Friday night and was continued Sat
urday by Senators Stone and Gore.
Mr.. La Toilette broke the record as a
long distance speaker; Mr.. Stone held
the floor for six hours and half al
most without interruption, and Mr..
Gore spoke for something more than
two hours.
La Toilette spoke eighteen hours
and forty-three minutes.
