THE NICARAGUA SITUATION

The revolution against President
Zelaya of Nicaragua has forced
him to resign. Zelaya had the
audacity to appoint a successor -
DR.. Jose Madriz. This does not
seem to satisfy the revolutionists
and the war is being continued.
A great battle was fought at Blue
fields on the eastern coast in which
the government troops were routed
with a heavy loss. The victorious
army under the lead of General
Estrada is now marching across
the country, heading for Managua,
the capital of the republic.
The United States has its war
ships in readiness to protect Amer
leans, but will not take sides nor
recognize any faction until a stable
government has beenestablished. 1t
is to be hoped the people by a pop
ular and impassioned vote will de-
eide whom they want for president.
General Estrada wires Wash
ington:
mo change in the person of
Zelaya's chief executive selected
by him and by the Congress he
controls will be accepted by the
majority of the Nicaragua people
allied to our cause in the struggle
for justice. Peace in this country
only can be assured by the COM
plete exclusion of Zelaya and his
followers. We will continue fight
ing until this is secured. In the
name of liberty and justice, on our
side, We ask you to recognize my
government"

The concern felt for the teeth OF the
children by Brooklyn alderman, who
proposed to save their grinders by clos
ing the candy shops to all consumers
under 16 years OF age, is eminently
praiseworthy, but it will never be APP
preciated in youthful quarters. The
children will take all risks. What is
toothache when a nickel is burning
hole in the pocket? Very likely there
vill never be an ache Better to roll
sweet morsel under the tongue with
pain in the left bicuspid than to have
the pain of self-denial eating some
little heart out. Nevertheless, says the
Boston Herald, the Brooklyn alderman
might be made to see his way to re-
pairing defective dental works in such
reckless spendthrifts without closing
the sweet shops. 1t is an extreme
measure.

cause to suspect that this ignorance Of

A Power JuggIe.

W. r. Coates, of Grand Rapids, an
hydraulic engineer. charges that water
power companies have overcapitalized
by rating the possible horsepower to
be developed much higher than 1t will
really show.
In his communication to the investi-
eating committee of, the house, Mr..
Coates says:
"One syndicate of the hydro.electric
promoters has taken probably $1,000
900 out of the people, during the ten
years of operation. from the sale of fic-
titious stock and bonds. They have
power site which will afford 1000 real
horsepower which will justify cap
italization OF 100000. These parties
rate this at 5000 horsepower, and
capitalize at 100000 and issue stock
and bonds accordingly. 1t will cost
perhaps 100000 to develop this prop
erty, but the promoters will swipe the
whole thing"

The Terrible Avalanche.

Four men were killed and more
than a score had narrow escapes from
death when an avalanche of snow SO
feet high swept over the Camp Bird
mine at Ouray, Colorado, Friday The
four men were talking in the cook
house when, almost without warning
thousands OF tons of snow, rocks and
dirt swept down the mountain side
The men were hurled into the canon
It will be midsummer before the bodies
can be recovered.
Dad Austin, hero of many wild
ride through the mountains, and one
of the best stage drivers in the west
heard the slide when ii started. He
was driving a six-horse stage filled
with people and the horse were plung
ing along at gallop when he recog
nized the sound. Instantly he threw
all his weight on the brake, stopping
the stage on the very edge of the
avalanche. Two of the leading horses
were cut off by the mass of snow and
debris and carried down the canon
hundreds of feet below.
The camp of the Asenfelder Freight
gang was completely wiped out Forty
horses were carried into the canon
and buried.
Caught in the steep mountain trails
by a blizzard are eight six-horse teams
and the Camp Bird bullion stage, car
rying $4,000 in gold and many passen
gers II is feared they may have been
in the path of the slide and great anx
iety is felt for their safety.

AIdrich Drew Four Years.

Charles f. Aldrich, former Jackson
city recorder and secretary of the
Excelsior Building & Loan associa-
ton, pleaded guilty to charge of
embezzling $4,000 of the associations
funds in the circuit court. Judge
Parkinson Immediately sentenced him
to four years in the Jackson prison
AS the offense to which Aldrich plead
ed guilty was committed before the
indeterminate sentence law was pass
ed, Judge Parkinson was obliged to
give the prisoner a fixed sentence.
Aldrich was formerly one Of the
best known figures in Jackson. Near
ly four years ago he disappeared with
Chloe Burns. salesgirl in local
store. Nothing was heard of their
whereabouts until last July, when
Sheriff Bean located the pair living in
Birmingham, Ala, where Aldrich was
employed as railroad clerk. He was
arrested and brought back to this
city, while the Burns girl went to
live with her brother in Cleveland.

THE WoNpERBERRY.

Mr.. Luther Burbank, the plant Wiz
ard of California, has originated a
wonderful new plant which grows any
where, in any soil or climate, and bears
great quantities OF luscious berries all
the season. Plants are grown from
seed. and 1t takes only three months
to get them in bearing. and they may
be grown end fruited all summer in
the garden, or in pots during the win
ter. 1t is unquestionably the greatest
Fruit Novelty ever known, and Mr.
Burbank has made Mr.. John Lewis
Childs, Of Floral Park, N. Y, the in
PRODUCER. He says that Mr.. Childs is
one of the largest. best-known, fair
est and most reliable Scotsman in
America. Mr.. Childs is advertising
seed Of the Wonderberry all over the
world. and offering great inducements
to Agents for taking orders for ii.
This berry is so fine and valuable and
so easily grown anywhere, that every.
body should get 1t at once.

The Michigan State Brewers asso-

fore the supreme court the constitu-
tionality of the local option law. Sew
eral of the best known constitutional
lawyers in the state are now going
into the question and the basis OF
action will probably be suit now
pending in the circuit court in Cal
houn county. In this action, the liq-
uor men began mandamus proceedings
Saturday to compel the board of SUI
pervisors to reconvene and listen to a
petition of the liquor men to throw
out the petition asking for the sub
mission of the liquor question. The
liquor men charge that fraud was
used by the anti-saloon people in their
petitions. But they do not expect a
favorable decision and will use the
adverse decision as the ground on
which to carry up the case to the high
er court

Electricity is the one branch of sci
ence which honors the great names in
Its history in its fundamental termin-
ology. The other day tablet was I'M
yelled at Ampere, N. j., in honor Of
Andre Marie Ampere, the French ply
sicist, who first measured the current,
and for whom the unit is named. The
ohm bears the name of Georg S. Ohm,
German man OF science, who discov-
cred the law on which the unit of cleo
trical resistance is based. The volt is
named for the Italian Volta, the great
est electrical authority of the eieh-
teenth century, who was the first man
to construct a rude electric battery A
farad, the unit of electrical capacity, is
named in honor Of the English physi-
cist, Faraday; the coulomb, the unit of
quantity, for the French physicist Cou-
lomb and the watt, the unit of power
for IamFs Watt the Scotch inventor
who improved the steam engine.

Provisional Gov. Magoon, of Cuba,
brings TO the attention of the secre-
airy of war the wreck of the United
