Doc Tiliman had another accident
last week. He fell and sprained mis-
back He is still confined to his home.
The accident occurred late at night.
The doctor attributes his fall to weak

of patients. He reports that there
are people ailing in the village this
winter who have never been sick be

doubt about it.

ASK LOR|AER AND
CULL0N TO RESIGN
This Is Battlecry With Which
Governor Seeks Lat
ter's Seat.

CHICAGO, March Limited States
Senator Lorimer and his political enc
nies are aiming for the fiercest political
battle ever fought in Illinois.
Gov. Charles Deneen is trying with
all his might to dtscredit both Lorimer
and Cullom, it Is said. The governor
aims to defeat Senator Cullom when he
comes up for reelection. He sees in
the present situation a ready-made op-
portunity to enter the field against the
ancient Senator with battle cry he
hopes will prove popular, Resign, the
Pair CT You"
Winnebago county was chosen for the
first advance against Lorimer because
OF its large Swedish-American Repubi-
can population. Swedish agents of an
anti-Lorimer newspaper with strong
Swedish affiliations were sent from Chi
cago to Rockford to work up sentiment
AMI arrange for the meeting. The reso-
lutions were cut and dried when the
meeting assembled.
While this was going on Lorimer's 8
friends were busy preparing for the
Senator's triumphaI Homecoming, and
their attention was distracted from the
activities IN the western part OF the
State They declare now, knowing their
enemv's plan of campaign, they will de-
feat it.
They know now that the anti-Lonmer
newspapers here will not cease to at
tack him, and that the same men who
planned the protest meeting at Rock
ford have their agents arranging such
meetings in every part Of the State.

LOSES TVO.TH|RDS
OF BRAIN BUT LIVES
Drill Shot Through Work
mans Head by Explosion
of Dynamite.

NEW YORK. March IA man who
lost part of his brain by the driving
of a piece of broken drill, foot long,
through his head, is expected to live, ac-
cording to the surgeons of Fordham
Hospital. If he does, his case will be
one Of the most amazing in the history
of surgery. The man is Nicamar Mar
zlnuk.
A dozen or more men were at work
digging out broken rock and mud on
the line of the Croton aqueduct when
pick struck an unexploded charge Oh
dynamite.
In the explosion that followed all the
men were prostrated, but all lmnsdI7
ately arose except Marzinuk and JobdH
Schaiwach, both of whom were found
unconscious. The former had a hole
through his head extending from his
left ear TO the top of the skull, and MS
scalp was almost entirely torn away.
as soon as they could be taken to the
hospital they Were operated upon
This is one OF the most surprising
cases l have ever known, said one OF
the operating surgeons. Il am safe IN
saying that tw0-thirds of MarZinuk
brains had escaped before We got hold
of him. ! would not have given cent
FOR his CHARGE of living when he first
arrived, but | sincerely believe now
that he will live.
"MarZinuk Is certainly in the crOwbar
case class. That, 1t may be remembered
was the case Of a miner through whose
head large crOwbar was driven by a
blast Apparently all the thinking part
Of his brain was lost, nut he lived six
teen years the greatest curiosity in the
world of surgery, and his skull is now In
Bellevue Hospital"

White House Statement
Declares Troops Are
Only for Maneuvers

The White House gave out a statement
this afternoon following the Cabinet
meeting. explaining why SO many troOrs
are being mobilized in San Antonio,
Tex. and San Diego. Cal.
1t is claimed in this statement that
these troops are to engage in maneu-
vers rather than in operations in Mex
leo. The statement is as follows:
THE department is moblizing a di-
vision of full strength in San Antonio,
Tex, for the purpose of filed training of
officers and men and for the further
purposes of holding maneuvers involv-
ing possible operations against Calves
ton. There will be assembled at Calves
ton a force of three regiments for the
defense Of that place against theoretical
attacks by the Navy. On the Pacific
coast the mobilization will involve a
brigade of infantry in the Los Angeles
district for the purpose of defending
San Diege and San Piedro against pos
sible attacks by the Navy. The mobil-
iZation of these troops will furnish an
excellent opportunity for the instruction
OF number of senior officers in the ele-
ments OF higher command. II also will
put to practical test the preparedness
OF the stan departments for the mo-
biliZation of troops.
Maj. Gen. William H. Carter will
command the provisional division. The
brigades at San Antonio will be com
manded by Brig. Gems NJ. P Maus, E.
A. Smith, and Ralph w. Hoyt; the
troops at Galveston will be under the
command Of Brig. Gen A. L. Mills; the
troops IN the Los Angeles district will

Gets Three Months
And Is Then Paroled

Having pleaded guilty to falsifying
accounts 80 that one receipt was made
to do duty for two separate deliveries Of
goods, Volney G. Rosser was this
morning sentenced to serve a term of
three months in Jail, and then pardoned
by Judge Mullowny.
Rosser was formerly an employe in a
lunch room on G street northwest and
admitted having changed the dates on
receipts so that it would appear that
two sets of goods had been delivered.
He claimed, however, that he had not
made way with the entire sum of $51
which Rufus E. Boyd, his employer,
said was missing.
In view of the fact that Rosser had no
previouE record and had admitted the
thefts Judge Mullowny 0aroled him for
year.

Couriers Bring News
Of a Rebel Victory;
250 Federals Shot

Ell PASO. Tex. March THAT a
battle has taken place between Ma
1ero's forces and the FederaIs under
Colonel Escudero. in which the latter
lost $50 killed and wounded was tn,
assertion OF couriers who reached here
today.
They say that the Madero forces wait
cd In ambush on the edge of a deep
canyon fifteen miles west of Monte
puma. When the Federal forces were
well in the canyon, the insurgents pour
ed a withering fire on them.
The Mexican regulars tried to retreat,
but failed, and it was not until $50 of
bis men were down that Escudero man
hged to eXcavate the remnants of his
force
The regulars then attempted to re-
treat toward Casas Grandes. but found
that the insurgents had placed a strong
force across the road. Penned in with
the enemy on both sides, il was be
peved by the couriers who got through
10 this city that the regulars will be
compelled to surrender.
This victory means a great deal to
the insurgents, inaSmuch as the Fed
Eral forces have a vast quantity of am
tnunition and some serviceable field
guns.
