ary law. At the primary election in
June. 1908, he received the second
highest vote for the senatorshin and
al the general election in 1908. when

Mr. Johnson was a devoted men,

general conference of that church,
which was held in C..-icago during

home in Petersburg. His son Ralph
is married and lives at Bronson, Mimi.
Making Plans
He frequently complained of being
tired but did not appear conscious
of his critical condition. Plans had
been laid for trip to St. Louis next
week where he was to be a guest at a
banquet in honor of President Taft,
and only few hours before the end
came, he talked of this event.
Shortly after 6 o'clock his breath
ing became labored. Opiates were
administered in an effort to ease his
condition but without avail. The
growth in his throat. a symptom OF
Bright's disease in advanced form, be-
came larger and at 7:10 O'Clock the

Refusal of Maura to Allow Him to Par.

OF the Young Ruler Who Retaliated
by Removing the Minister.

Madrid. Oct. 22-The fall of Pre-
mier Maura' and the Conservative
cabinet has produced feeling Of
relief and encourage the hope that
the period of internal tranquility has
been ushered in. 1t is now an open
secret that Maura's refusal to give
King Alfonso an opportunity to par
don Ferrer is regretted by his majes-
ty.
In an interview today Senor Morety
Prendergast. premier of the new Lib
eral cabinet, explained that because
of recent personal bereavements, he
having lost by death his wife, his son
and daughter, and the fact of his ad-
vancing years, he has not wished to
assume power. Nevertheless the un-
fortunate situation at home and the
distress of the Spanish government as
manifested abroad had convinced him
that it was his patriotic duty to ac-
cept the leadership.
He declared that the liberal govern
ment would exactly reverse the policy
of Maura and maintain the social or
der with due respect for law. Most
of the Republican senators and
deputies express themselves as salts

marks the end of the clerical in

ed and Race With Death Is On

San Barnardino. CAL. Oct. 22-
Somewhere along the ancient trails of
the Mojave desert man and his wife
and their three children are lying
dead or in a dying condition. Who
they are or what led them to attempt
to cross the menacing desert is not
known. but their trail has told pitt
full story and today searching parties
are after them In real race against
death. The story came from T. H.
kellogg, a rancher. He was riding
across the Carisho creek country yes
terday when he came across the tracks
of two teams. The wandering trails
indicated to his experienced eye that
the drivers Of the teams either were
lost or did not have any control of
mind left. He followed the trails for
some distance and finally came on
the camp wagon and buggy and furth-
er away horse dying of thirst. Here
was the starting point of the greater
tragedy, for death was close on the
heels of the drivers of these teams.
Following the trail further he discov-
cred the tracks of man and woman
and three children, uneven at times,
retreating and wavering in purpose
as though the travellers did not know
which way to turn. The. foot prints
ION the sand told of the search for
water against the desperately growing
need. Some times the trlii of one of
the children disappeared, indicating
that the father or mother had expend-
ed the last drop of energy in carrying
their dying little ones.
The trail followed the bed of dry
creek for many miles and then led off
to that country from which few trav-
elers return. kellogg returned to
civilization and searching parties were
been received.

EARTHQUAKES
CAUSE ALARM
Italy Suffers From a Slight
Shock and Volcanos Are
Active

Messina, Oct. 22.-Yesterday earth
quake shocks we're felt in the vicinity
iof Mount Etna. coincident with the
renewed activity OF Mount Vesuvius,
has caused much alarm here. The
fact that such seismic disturbances
had been predicted by Frank A. Per-
ret. the American scientist formerly
assistant director OF the Royal obser-
vatory on Mount. Vesuvius. does not
lessen the uneasiness. Perret was in
this city during the last week OF Sep
tember and at that time pointed out
that September 20 would be a date
most favorable for earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions for the reason that
at that time the sun. earth and moon
would be in line, thus constituting a
combination tending to produce gravi-
rational distortion of the earths form.
Perret added that if nothing out of
the ordinary occurred, as proved TO
he the case, it would mean that the
earth had resisted the unusual pres
sure but that telluric commissions
would very likely be experienced in
the latter half of October.

SELF GOVERNMENT
FOR PORTO R|CANs
Not Advisable Yet Says For
mer Military Governor Of
the Islands

Hohonk Lake. N. Y, Oct. 22.-Porto
Rico and the Porto Ricans was dis
cussed today by Major General George
w. Davis, U. S. A., retired. who was
formerly military governor of that
island and also of the Panama Canal
zone
He declared that the present sys-
tenn by which the United States ruled
the island under the Organic Act
was for more. favorable to Porto Rico
than the so-called Spanish self-gov-
ernment. Territorial government, he
said, necessarily was withheld because
1t was desirable that the Porto Ricans
should prove their fitness for self-gov-
ernment and also because territorial
government would have prevented the
great. economic advantages necessary
for Porto Rico to receive from con-
gress. He asserted that the recent
controversy precipitated by the Porto
Rican house of delegates was unwise
and ill-advised. The homogeneous
! character Of the Porto Rican people,
he declared, makes future statehood
Of doubtful propriety. -.
Citizens of the United States" said
General Davis, cannot reasonably and
consistently be denied ultimate par
ticipation In federal affairs,-but to
the citizen of Porto Rico, all of an
alien race and foreign tongue, there
could and should be such denial un-
til 1t was shown by experience that
they were fitted for such participation.
It seems evident that such was the
intention Of the congress and recent
events have shown that there was
justification.
AS has been said before, the ma
tional sequence of delegation of all
the rights of citizenship is statehood,
to come sooner or later. May we not
consider for moment what has been
the measure Of our efforts to better
the condition of the alien races upon
whom this boon has been conferred?
The negroes in the. southern states
who were slaves, but all speaking
English. and who had always lived
among us, we're made citizens shortly
after the civil war. Do all the peo-

substance, DIR. Frederick A. Cooks

New York, Oct. 22.-Budding hopes

A Filipino Address
Geronimo H. Huising, native Fill
Textile school and at the same time
obtaining practical experience by
working in an American factory, de-
livered an address today in which he
brought out the advantages to Filipino
students of industrial education. He
emphasizes the great Importance to
the Philippines of developing the tex
tile industry therein. He declared
that much promitive weaving and fin
ishing is now done by the Filipinos,
not in factories but independently by
each family, and that while much Of
this is of high enough excellence, due
to lack of supervision, is SO poor as
to generally discredit the whole, maxi
ing necessary the Importance into the
Philippines of cloths, for the manu-
facture of which the islands possess
material and labor.
Mr.. Husing deplored the tendency
of Filipino students enjoying the op-
portunities of American educational
institutions to choose academic cours-
es, and expressed his belief that the
greatest advancement of the Filipino
will follow the return to the islands
of many natives trained along textile
and industrial lines. He declared his
intention of completing a general tex
tile training and returning to the is
LANDS to build up an extensive textile
industry. believing chat the capital to
establish such industry once secured,
profitable results would be certain.

Where are Your Boys?

A worthy Rich Hill mother who
has reared a family Of boys and girls
gives expression to the following
worthy comment on the rearing OF
boys; every mother should take
the same care with regard to the
company her boy keeps as she does
with regard TO the company her girl
keeps"
When this sensible advice came to
US we could not help but reflect how
often mothers are particular about
the company their daughters keep,
and at the same tlme pay no atten-
ton to the company their boys are
In. That girls are better than boys,
Ia probably due to the fact that
there has been more care taken to
see that they keep In good company.

For Missouri Farm Facts.

Ii is probable that there will be In.
PRODUCED at thepresent session ofthe
Missouri Legislature anumber OF billie
affecting the agricultural interests OF
the state.
One measure recommended by the
State Board oiAgriculture and which
bill has been drawn by Geo B. Ellie,
secretary OF the board, is that pro
viding for a state statistical law sim
liar to that now In force In Kansas,
Michigan and possibly other states.
This bill seeks to make it the duty OF
the county assessors to gather Ger.
sain additional statistics on dairy
ing, poultry raising and other agri.
cultural interests, concerning which
1t has heretofore been impossible to
get definite and reliable information.
1t Is proposed to have blanks provi
ded as other blanks are now provid-
ed, but the form to be one approved
by the board OF agriculture. The as.
SCISSORS OF the several counties, and
the township assessors In counties
having township organization, will,
according to the provisions OF the
bill, at the time OF making assess
ments OF real and personal property,
take a statement from each individ.
ual, firm or corporation, these state.
ments, showing among other Items,
the following: Number Of acres cult.
vsted In the leading farm crops Of
the state. the amount OF each crop
produced; and statement Of live
stock, dairy products, poultry pro.
ducts and horticultural products,
with prices OF same. Such statement
is to be returned by the assessor to
the county clerk at the time OF re-
turning the assessment lists OF prop
erty and the county clerk shall I'M
mediateiy forward the same to the
secretary OF the State Board of Agri.
culture at his office, and a statement
OF same shall be published In his an.
nual report or otherwise as he may
direct.
Such law would necessitate very
little, II any, extra expense, yet would
be OF almost inestimable value In the
work Of gathering reliable data and
in calling attention to Missouri'f
splendid and diversified resources
matters In which the state has here
toiore been seriously handicapped
Such law would result in facts and
figures, which are always more i'm
pressive than the best of guesses OIL
the most conservative OF estimates.
Missouri is q great state, and q
state statistical law, such as Is now
proposed, will serve to further I'm
