 Guadalajara Times: As a fea- ture of the centenary celebrations here brilliant regatta is being ar ranged to take place on Lago Azul, the picturesque artificial lake near this city. The event will take place at night when the lake will be brilliantly illuminated with in- candescent electric glow lamps and Venetian lanterns. The boats will be artistically decorated and oc- cupied by young women and young men of the well known families of this city, while the shores of the lake will be hung with garlands of flowers and flags. The details of this feature are still being ar ranged.
 Guadalajara Times: Fire broke out at 2 o'clock Thursday after noon in the warehouse of Eligio Corona, commission merchant, and by what seemed to be a miracle only, the entire place, the adjoin- ing Primavera theater and perhaps most of the block escaped going up in flames. Over 1000 eases of al- cohol were stored in the bodegas, and the wooden boxes encasing the cans were in many instances burn ed. The fact that there was nc chance for a draft of air to pass through that part of the building prevented a terrible confagration Policemen, employees of Mr. Corona and private citizens, by hard and timely work extinguished the flames by throwing on water.

Thrilling Auto Ride.

Notwithstanding down a steep in
cline, in an uncomfortable automobile
going at the rate of 80 miles an hour
and jumping and swaying like mad
thing, with a deep canyon on one side
the road and a jaggered rock bank
on the other was a thrilling sensation
experienced by Albert Cross, an au-
toist from Stockton, and Frank Rex
roat of this city, as they were return
ing from Hays.
Cross had failed to replace the
emergency brake, which he had re-
moved the day before, and when they
started down the steep hill, near the
Salina river, Cross jammed his foot
on the differential brake and slipped
It clear. So there was nothing for the
boys to do but let the machine make
the run to the bottom of the hill, dis
lance of three-quarters of mile.
At the bottom of the hill is steep
Jump off. The car took this at fly
ing leap, a distance of fifteen feet,
and landed squarely in the road. The
momentum carried them quite a dis
lance up the road, and when the ma
chine stopped they were almost two
miles from the starting point of their
thrilling ride.

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in Cuticura.

Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks l took him
to the doctor but it got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But l found a remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. The result was almost mag
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight

MoRLAND, OR FREMONT?
Much Depends on Disputed Name OF
This Kansas Town.

Topeka-A suit involving the name
of Western Kansas town was ar
gued in the supreme court. In 1890 a
government townsite was laid out in
Graham county and named Fremont.
Later the government and the rail
road both found that people confused
that name with Fremont, Neb., so
they changed the name of the town
to Morland, There never was any
judicial action taken to affect the
change.
For years the people called the town
Morland, but conducted all official
business in the name of Fremont.
About eight years ago they began to
drop the name Fremont officially
Since then the town has been known
as Morland and taxes levied that way.

to the Morland townsite. If the own

officially named Morland by the cour;
degree. If the holder of the quit claim
deeds wins, then it will be Fremont.
Morland won in the lower court.

referee to take the evidence and re-
port findings Of facts in the case or
the state against E. E. Stubblefield,
treasurer of Montgomery county, had
expected to take up the matter and
push it to a conclusion, but when he
learned that it would take from six
to twelve weeks to get through WITH
it, he postponed the hearing until
July ~ and ordered both the sides to
have their expert accountants go over
reports of each side and the books OF
the treasurer and wherever the two
reach an agreement the items agreed
upon will be eliminated from the con-
troversy. Stubblefield is charged
with being short in his accounts and
with malfeasance in office, but by his
own report accounts for every cent

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
