A Narrow Escape.

Mrs. r. N. B. Finch, residing
five miles southeRst of Meridian,
had thrilling experience when
coming to town Tuesday evening,
She was driving the family
automobile, and had her ak
children with her. While cross
ing the Short Line tracks, near
the Fenton Lumber yards, she
heard the 5 o'clock passenger
train approaching, and slowed up
and backed the machine just in
time 10 save a collision, AS il
was the engine passed without
touching the automobile, but the
steps of baggage car struck the
machine, demolishing the lamps,
glass front, and doing about $25
worth of mischief.
just before the train reached
them, Mrs. Finch jumped to the
ground, as her efforts to back
the machine were unsvaillng, and
she attempted to pull the machine
back by saain strength. While
the automobile was at no time on
the track, it was near enoughto be
hit twice by the car steps. When
Mrs. Finch got out she took foul
Of the children with her, the two
remaining in the car when it was
struck by the train. The escape
was a lucky one.

A Home Creamery.

A score of farmers in this vicin-
ity have had an improbable ex-
perience with the creameries this
season, and several have sums
owing them for cream of from $25
to 800 and more. Two cream.
cries have failed in Boise this sea-
son, and the Eagle creamery is
now in financial trouble. The
farmers will find it more profitable
no doubt, to make their own butter
j. Il. McSparren visited \ the
ranch of w. A, Haynes, seven miles
northwest of Meridian, at Pleas.
ant View, last week, and he says
the Haynes brothers are erecting
a ''home" creamery, which will be
built at reasonable expense, and
handle the butter from all the
cows on the ranch. Two deep
wells, 100 feet deep, are being dug
the water rising within four feet of
the ground. A gasoline engire
will pump this water into the well
house, and a cement cellar will
contain revolving churn, costing
SIS. There is also machine for
working and sailing the butter.

IT TOOK COURAGE TO DO IT.

The skepucism in both houses Of congress as to any adamantine char acter in MT. Tafts decision to call a special session was entirely justi- fled. MT. Taft's intentions have al ways been excellent His first i'm pressions as to the course he ought to pursue have generally been farlt less.
 In many instances, however. he has yielded his own judgment to that of narrow partisan advisers. His second-thought decisions, showing the influence of poor advice, have in- variably been inferior to his first thought purposes. Not only has pub lie expectation been disappointed thereby, but the quality of the Taft determination has suffered disparage- ment
 Up to noon on March senators bet that no special session would be called and gave odds on it. In the office of stand-pat organs throughout the country editorials written and put in type ia advance set up trium- phant crows over the special ses- sions abandonment.
 It is pleasant to record that the bets were lost and the stupid stand pat organs discomfted. Whether or not a resolve by Mir Taft hereafter 10 pursue the course he himself re

More Cavalry Patrol.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar 14.-- The present patrol of the Mexican frontier will be increased in a few days by several troops of cavalry from mounted forces now assem- bling in the southern border states. It is announced at the war depart ment that the increase will amount to fix or seven troops of cavalry to be added to the patrol of the Rio Grande.
 Officials emphafcally say that none of the infantry regiments now mobilizing at San Antonio, Galveston and San Diego will be dispatched to the border. The increase will be made at the request of Gen. Duncan, commander of the Department of TexfIA Previous to receipt of the request the department had not in- tended to augment the southern pat rol There are already stretched lin es along the border of three regi- ments of cavalry, one regiment of infantry and two companies of the signal corps.

Harmony. Says Madero.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Thas there is dissatisfaction in the coun- cils of representatives of the Mex icah revolution in this country is denied emphatically today in a telegram from Gustavo A. Madero, of New York, brother of the leader of the uprising. The telegram is addressed 70 Senor Sanchez Azconi. secretary of the revolutionary agen- cy here, and is as follows:
 Referring to telegrams published at Washington Stating that Dr. Vasquez Gomez and myself are, not in accord, I beg to say our rela- tions never were better politically or otherwise. and that my present sympathy for Mir. Limantour has not and will not change any polite al ideas which are against the gov ernment of General Diaz, and conse quently against. all members of said government"

 Democrats especially should not be unmindful of it. He has presented them with an unusual opportunity and lent them aid in the difficult task imposed on them by the voters last November.
 After the nassage of the reciproci- ty measure. which should have the support of every democrat in con gress, possibly democrats might con suit Mir. Tafts intentions respecting the further tarif program No bill can become a law without his ap. proyal. and to pass measures for re iection in the senate chamber or White House would only alarm and disturb business unnecessarily.
 Adjournment after a short, snappy session would give the ways and means gentlemen time to mature their views and formulate a judiciou, revenue plan to be put in effect al the regular session along with a nep program of reduced government ex Ipenditures.

Scattered bands of gorrillas which can hardly number more than 1900 to 15O0 in the aggregate have been working their will in a large part of Chihuahua for several months. Less than 2O00 of Diaz's troops have been brought against them, and they have thus far been unable to re-
 store order. Although no vestige of leadership or organization can be
 traced in any of the demonstrations
 made by the insurrectos, they are still at large. and report has it that bigger demonstrations are planned by them Moreover, a few Ameri- cans are prisoners ia the hands of
 the Diaz troops, and for some Of
 them death sentences have been ex l pected. For several reasons this
 movement of American troops toward
 the Rio Grande will be watched witt

 He says also that only seven American fighting men in rebel ranks were taken prisoners, the others escaping and later rejoining Madero's forces.
