viewed by the president the next day. This
time we watched from windows looking out
on the narrow Gales de san Francisco, the
daily dress parade grounds OF Mexico City's
smart set. / have witnessed many military
displays and the chief interest lies I'm COM
parison or contrast l have seen our own
troops massed in large numbers on various
oCcasions-at two presidential Inaugural
tions, at the New York Columbian quadri-
centennial parade, at the dedication
Of the st Louis Worlds fair and
for many smaller Incidents 1 have seen
President Carnot review the French troops
at Champs de Mars on the French fete
day and l have seen a whole German army
corps salute as each company passed the
emperor and the empress II counting
their legions. The column that marched
this day contained. according to an officer
of the Mexican army, 1880 men, of which
about 200 were marines and sailors from
the foreign warships, dispatched by their
respective governments to pay their tribute
of good will in this way. The Mexican in
fantry strikes me as a slaternly lot; their
uniforms are not striking; they appear to
be overloaded with Announcements; their
marching is ragged; they exhibit no signs
of dash or vigor; they act, and in this they
act the tr6th as IL they. were painfully
walking in shoes when they are accus-
toned to sandals or bare feet.
The Mexican cavalry and light artillery
make a much better impression than the
infantry. The horsemen are accustomed
to the saddle and their mounts are above
average. The artillery corps were largely
in evidence. 1 am no Judge of guns, but
those more expert insisted that the pat
terms are up-to-date, the equipment first
class and the quotas of different styles
well distributed
The flower of every Mexican military
parade, however, and the pride Of the
Mexican people are the rurales, the
mounted rural military police, who strike
terror to evi-doers and keep the peace
throughout the length and breadth of the
land. 1t is said that when President DiaZ
determined many years ago to rid the
rural districts of highwaymen and des-
peradoes, he sent for some of the most
noted bandits and laid down the ultimatum
that they must help him put all the out
laws out of business or he would put
them themselves out of business. 1t took
several severe object lessons to bring them
all to his way of thinking and to enlist
them in the rurales. Yet there they are,
the most splendid specimens of horseman-
ship, dazzling in their silver shmmerlng
uniforms Of yellow buckskin, overtopped
with tall sombrero of gray felt likewise
embroidered and tasseled with heavy sill
yer. The privilege of promotion to com
mssioned officers rank is the privilege
to add few more pounds of silver to
the load by spreading it over saddle bride
and blanket.
THAT captain there" exclaimed one OF
our chaperones as the resplendent rurales
were passing, lis worth $4,000 as he
stands for the melting pot"
1t must have been on the theory of re-
serving the best for the last, that the
rurales should have tailed up the process

WHERE is THE MONEY, KATE?
Suit Against High Priestess of
TheOsophS for Missing
Fortune.

George l.. Patterson, vice president Of
the National Bank Of Lawrence county
Pc, has instituted suit in Los Angeles
against Mrs. katherine TingIey, hlgh
priestess of the Theosophic Society at
Point Iona, Cal.
Patterson seeks to recover the $500,
estate left by his mother, and an ac-
counting for 100000 which he alleges,
has disappeared from the time the woman
became associated with the cult
The Patterson family is one of the
oldest and wealthiest in Lawrence county.
The family fortune was founded by viii
liam Patterson, banker and iron merchant
who died five years ago. Several mem
bers of the family stil reside here and
move in exclusive society circles. William
Patterson established tho National Bank
OF Lawrence County. lie amassed "a for
tune of 100000.
When he died he left a stated amount
to his widow. This sum was less than
Mrs. Patterson was entitled to under the
law and she contested the will and got
a third OF the estate. With S1,0OO,O0O in
her own right, Mrs. Patterson went to Los
Angeles There she became acquainted
with members of the Theosophic Society.
Relatives and friends were shocked
GbouJ Allltcn months ago Wnen lueN
learned that the white haired woman of
6S years was to marry Clark Thurstun,
formerly of New York and Philadelphia,
head of the society. Mrs. Thurston set
tied 5000 a month on Thurston. Her fam
lily became thoroughly estrahged from
her. In the latter part of July George
L. Patterson received a telegram stating
that his mother had died in the home of
katherine Tingley In Newburyport, Mass.
No member of the family had had any
word that Mrs. Thurston was i'll. Mr..
Patterson FASTENED east and as soon as
he reached Newburyport the body was
cremated. The cause of her death is a
mystery. When her will was opened IL
was found that SIS 600 had been willed to
Mrs. Tingley. A month ago Mr.. Patter-
son and Attorney j. V. Cunningham went
to Los Angeles to investigate the estate
and Mrs. Thurston's connection with the
society. They discovered that there re-
manned only $4,000 over the amount
willed to Mrs Tingley
No trace could be found of the 500, 600,
the difference between the value of the
estate at the time of Mrs. Thurston $
death and the amount she had when she
went west.--New York World.

feeling on the part Of the English is due
10 the fact that Germany IL making such
lnroads on EnRland's foreign trade. Eng
land, a nation Of shopkeepers, feels this
through its pOckstbook and bitterly re-
sents the loss OF trade, and Is not back
ward IN talking about the ''greediness OF
those Germans" The German Is less free
in expressing himself but IN talking with
an educated and widely travelled Dane,
who has given the subject a great deal OF
attention, I learn that there Is deep
seated resentment among Germans at the
long years OF snubbng and assumption or
superiority on the part Of the English.
Any traveller who has met on the conti-
nent the wel-recognized type Of the pomp-
Gus, frigdly exclusive and conceited Eng
lishman, with his utter disregard OF other
peoples rights and feelings can imagine
what resentment a century OF more of such
treatment would breed in a nation so

growth OF the German navy and the &C
QUESTION and terrifying Of naval bases on
the North sea- within nine hours by tor
pedo boat Of the British mainland, fills
England with uneasiness, which from time
to time breaks out in a national hysteria
OF suspicion and fright.
The fear OF war or Of its outcome seems
to be confined to the English. 1t would
seem to casual observer that Germany
could ask for nothing better than long
! continued peace to complete her CONNER
cial conquest Of the world, and II wal

many knows from experience that war is

Bismarck said: I'VE Germans fear only

much that he isn't going to get enough t
eat and drink. Every available strategic
spot in Germany has been heavily fortified
with eatables and drinkables, so no mattel

JUST A WORD.

To the Voters of Marathon C,0ulty:-
In announcing myself as candi-
date Tor reelection to the Office of
District Attorney, | wish to state
that | base my candidacy solely on
nay record as an officer of Marathon
county, and ! desire to briefly call at
tention TO some Of the results of my
three years and eight months ser
vice.
An examination of the dockets of
the criminal courts of the city of
Wausau alone, reveals the fact that
there were 544 criminal trials and ex-
aminations during my term of office.
While some OF these were cases of as
sault and battery, which under the
law, the district attorney is not COM
PEELED to prosecute, large proportion
of them represent the total number
of criminal matters investigated.
handled and disposed of by me, dur
ing this time. As a result of such
criminal prosecutions over 81, 300, was
collected in fines and penalties, and
II persons were sent to the penal and
reformatory institutions of the state.
In no instance have l prosecuted I'M
less such prosecution was called for
by the evidence.
1t is noteworthy fact that, with
the assistance of the sheriff and other
officers, the evidence in the more i'm
portant criminal cases, was so thor
oughly gathered, and presented in
such conclusive form, that the defend
ants pleaded guilty without trial.
thus saving the county the usual
heavy fees and costs, arising out of
ordinary criminal trials. OF the actual
number of cases tried in the circuit
and municipal courts of Marathon
county a large proportion resulted in
conviction, there being but acquit-
tails during my term of office.
In addition to the criminal work
have given the civil business of the
county close and constant attention.
The large amount of construction
work undertaken by the county neces-
STATED the drafting of many con-
tracts and bonds to safeguard the in
tereSts of the county, while the
records of the county court of Mara
thon county, which show 156 examin-
ations of persons alleged to be insane,
dependent and incor1igible, show that
large portion of my time was given
to investigating such matters.
In addition to the foregoing | have
collected county claims aggregating
the sum of $3,3l2.72, and the cost of
supporting the insane and paupers of
the county, has been lessened by that
amount.
| do not refer to my record by way
OF boasting. Such work as | have
done in connection with the office
has merely been a part of my duties
and | do not feel entitled to special
credit. | have endeavored to perform
my official duties at all times accord
ing to the letter and the spirit of the
law.
Your honest judgment as citizens
and taxpayers, alone should dictate
your choice in the coming election,
and if in your judgment my record
meets with your approval, l feel that
my candidacy is justified.
Respectfully yours,
FRANK Z. REGNER.

WHY THIS DISCRIMINATION?

Upon the complaint of many who reside in this north
climate where the winters rigorous and the de-
sire is overwhelming break its monotony by spending
few months in the southern states and in baskng in
sunshine of that climate the PILOT has urged
to investigate rates made by the various railroads
southern people at certain time of the year The peo-
pie of the south during months come up north
and enjoy the cooler atmosphere and find that they
have been given very low rates for the past five years.
viz From New Orleans to Chicago and return, $780,
ST. Louis and RETURN $780, Washington and Detroit
and return, $780, to Cincinnati and return $780,
Louisville and return $1,000 Double berth to Chicago
for 81 Is and to St Louis 1925 Now what the people up
in this section of The north want to know is why do
the railroads give them the low rates in the winter
months that they give the southen people in the
months? BY doing SO the roads would induce many
thousands of northern people to go south and stroll
mongst the flowers and in the orange groves when the
mercury goes down into the 3Os this climate
much lower rate it to the PILOT should be made
to the south during the Mardi Gras Now that
the winter is coming it is the accepted time to agate
this lowering of rates and that the railroads
erested will take the matter and that the people
of the north are not Disseminated against
