Nurses Panic-Suicken at
Attempts of Bovine TO
Gain Admission.

CHESTER, Pa, Dec. 3-Pretty white
capped nurses. physicians, and other
attendants at the Chester Hospital we're
thrown into a fever OF excitement and
alarm today when a COW that was De
lieved to be suffering with rabies ran
over the hospital grounds and attempted
20 break into the kitchen Of the insti-
tuition.
Then, coming around 20 the front part
Of the building. she did her level best
to climb up a fight Of ten steep steps
leading to the main entrance
The animal was finally lassOed by Will
lam Ditchfield. a local butcher, assisted
by Samuel B. Logan, agent for the
PENNSYLVANIA Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Animals, and half a dozen
other men. She was then chained to a
stone post until she had become pacifed-
Just what caused the COW to act as
she did no one seems to know. She was
going along quietly when she made the
break for liberty and did her mad dance
upon the hospital grounds.

MESSAGE TOUCHES
upon NICARAGUA
President Will Recount for
Congress the Situation in
Zelaya's Country.

President Taft will officially bring the
attention of Congress to the Nicaraguan
situation in his annual message. The
situation, as it has developed thus far,
will be recoUnted and if there is a need
Of furthe" report after the converting
of Congress, the President will embody
IL in special message.
This course was decided upon at the
special meeting Of the Cabinet yester-
day aftern Jon. It was decided that
there is no need Of addressing Congress
at length on the Central American i'm
brogliO at this time, especially in view
Of the fact that the message is to be
printed several days in advance Of de
livery. during which interval much may
happen to change the face of affairs.
Every member Of the Cabinet was pres
ent at the meeting, which lasted four

Dr. Salvador CastriIlo, the diplomatic
agent OF the Nicaraguan insurgents in
Washington. who. up to this time, has
been working in the dark and under
the handicap Of non-recognitiOn by the
officials OF the state Department, for
warded q formal request to Secretary
Knox today asking to be received on
equal terms with agents of the Zelaya
government
DR.. CastrillO doesn't request official
recognition as an envoy or minister
from Nicaragua, but asks only that ne
be received in an unofficial capacity
Just as the Representatives of the Ze-
laya government. in view of Secretary
knoX's action on Wednesday, are to be
received upon such condition.
From the manner In which DR.. Cas-
trillo discussed his request today. the
conclusion was drawn that he had been
instructed by the State Department to
offer the formal request so that they
might be given opportunity to receive
him without having made the initial
overture. DR.. Castrino Is confident, OF
course, that ne will be received by the
department and viii probably have an
interview with Secretary Knox tomor-
row at a time TO be appointed IN the
answer 70 be made to his request
Its Importance.
CastrillO's appearance at the State De-
partment in the capacity he seeks will
be vitality important, in that it will be
the first open and official act which
places the insurgents upon an equal
footing, as far az the United States Gov
eminent is concerned. with the present
regime under Zelaya. Hence the two
/ opposing forces will be equally repre-
scented in the city, in the event there is
no hitch in the plans outlined today.

step toward the forthcoming abdication

DR.. Castrillo received a cablasram
from Provisional President Estrada at

gent forces under General Matute and
the Zelava army under Naquez were
facing each other I'm the mountains OF
the interior and that a battle of a de-
Cisive character would probably occur

dispatch expressed the conviction that

A COOPERATIVE STORE.

\ COOPERATIVE STORE for Whitefsh is a subject
which is being discussed Of late by quite num-
Der of citizens of this town. and now certain that
action will be taken to establish such an institution
The local field at present presents opening for gen
eral department store through the retirement from
business of Of the stores here The town already has
two good general stores of course which are all that
could be wished for but there qestionably room for
another, and there will undoubtedly be one If cooper
atve store is not started individual is certain to
seize upon the opportunity that is presented that
those who feel favoraby towards establishment of this
kind see in the present situation opportunity to get
started without working any injury upon the stores al
ready here.
1t is urged in favor of cooperative general store
that it would have greater Influence in keeping trade at
home than any other agency Under the plan as it
being talked any citizen Of the town could become
and could get credit at the store the ex
tent of their stock Those not owning stock would have
to pay cash.
With good-szed list of stockholders such a store
should be successful and probably would be- and that
would be powerful factor in keeping trade at home and
thus aid in building up the town, is certain.

SEE THE GOOD ALSO

Ever meet the man who always has
some adverse criticism to offer upon
everything? OF course you have. We
all know him. He is not perfect him
self--far from it--but he evidently ex-
poets everybody else to be. He sees
some flaw in everybody and every
thing. There is something wrong
about everything that humanity has
produced He notes the weaknesses
in every character. If there is any
good in the world he never sees it.
Don't be like this individual. Be
charitable in your views Learn to
see the good in others and in their
work, rather than the bad. Honest
criticism in the proper place is all
right, but don't conine yourself to
only adverse criticism. A little praise
for others, good word occasionally,
will make your life happier.

WANT NO DIVISION.

HAT the great majority of the people Of Flathead

lines whatever, is certain Meetings held in different
towns in the county and petitions have demonstrated this
beyond the question Of doubt That the legislature
would proceed divide the county the face of such op
position does not probable, and therefore is not
likely that there will be any division this year.
Even the people of Libby and Eureka, where most of
the county division talk has come from, by
unanimous in favor of county; in FACT many of them
are openly opposed to it. county division on east
and west ine putting the whole northern part of the
county in the new county, would have had the support of
Whesh but the citizens of this town will probably
favor any other plan Kalspel people are evidently
against any kind of division
