chickens to fill a car that it had tC
be filled out at Hannibal, Quincy
not being able to furnish the enor,

this item 50 important that it went
on to give a minute description of &

ing poultry and stating that it was
necessary to send a man with each
Gear of live poultry to feed, water
and otherwise care for the valuable
freight. The Herald further states
that the value of car of live pOui

To END CRAFT !
IN MEXICO
Mdd3rO Promises Justice to
Rich and Poor.
70 EQUALIzE THE TAXES
Leader of RevoIutionists Declares tn
Eich Must Pay Their Shares
Maintain Republic.

Mexico City, June &c. - Francisco
Madero has issued another manifesto
to the Mexican people, in which he
SAYS that the taxes are to be distrib-
uted equally among the rich an khe
poor, but that while waiting to I'M Jug
urate the new laws he will call upon
the governors and other officials, OF
the states t. see that small landh4old-
ers and merchants are taxed lightly,
while the heavier burdens are put on
the larger owners.
Capitalists of foreign nativity are to
receive absolute protection. but Ma
dero hopes that they will not attempt
as formerly to try to influence the
governing authorities in any way to
secure special privileges, as he says
it will be useless. He assures the peo-
pie that justice will not be for the for
turate and privileged alone, With in
justice for the ordinary citizenf as
retofore, but the poorest worker Twill
have the same rights as the rich EN-
ployer.
He promises to investigate thel do.
ings of the Diaz administration, land
that which is being done not in &C
cordance with the law will be rem
eded and the guilty as far as possible
will be punished. He recommends to
the revolutionary soldiers that they
treat the defeated rebels as broth
ers, for in the course of the WAole
war the federals sympathiZed with the
that the triumph of the Diaz govern
ment would be a calamity for the
country.
Naturally, says Madero, the federals
had little interest in vim ng battles
and the federal army was not really
defeated Defeat came only to the
dictators who were driving them. How
was it possible, he asks, that the fed
eral soldiers could win when they
even preferred to die that Mexican
people might regain their liberty.
He hopes that the press will CO.
operate with him frankly and sin
cerely, but says that as a simple cit1-
zen or president or as the occupant
of any office into which he might
come he will consider as friends only
chat part of the press which criucises
the faults that he commits and shows
him his errors. He will look with sus-
picion upon newspapers which approve
his every act.
He says that as a simple citizdh OF
the country he has a right to adGess
the people. AS candidate for Ite''i-
dent it is his duty to show the pdppft
where he stands; as leader of al itri-
umphant revolution it is his duty to
work diligently to see that the 6ple
receive all the benefits of the ess-
full revolution:
The German government, throdgn
the local ambassador, has demanded
that Mexico investigate carefully and
fix the responsibility for the death of
a German of the name of Reitter, who
was killed by Maderists in the state OF
Hidalgo.
Nadero has reiterated the statement
that he has no present intention OF
bringing about the investigation or
any business enterprise.

That Was Cast In BresIau.
The poor sinners bell is a bell In
the city Of Breslau. in the province of
Sileaia, Prussia. and hangs in the
tower Of one of the city churches. 1t
Was cast July II, 1886, according to
Historic records 1t Is said that
great bell founder of the place had
undertaken to make the finest church
bell he had ever made.
When the metal was melted the
founder withdrew for few moments,
leaving a boy to watch the furnace
and enjoining him not to NEEDLE with
the catch that held the molten metal,
but the boy disobeyed the caution. and
when he saw the metal flowing into
the mold he called the founder.
The latter rushed in and. seeing, as
he thought. his work of weeks undone
and his masterpiece ruined, struck the
boy q blow that caused his immediate
death. When the metal cooled and
sh1Meld was opened the bell was
found to be not only perfect, but of
marvellous sweetness Of tone.
The founder; gave himself up to the
authorities, was tried and condemned
% death. On the day of his execution
the bell was rung to call people to at
tend church and offer prayer for the
unhappy mans soul. and from that 1t
obtained the name Of "the poor sim

If man falls out of a rising aero

the earth. but will continue rising into
the air for an appreciate time II
the air machine were stopped in its
ascent at the time it could catch the
man as he came down. If the airship
were ascending at the rate Of thirty
two feet a second the man would rise
sixteen feet before beginning to fall
toward the earth. Thus, by reducing
the speed of its ascent, the vessel
might keep by the side of the man
and rescue him. The reason why the
man rises is the same as the reason
for a bullets rising when shot from
a gun into the air-both the man and
the bullet are given velocity upward,
and 1t takes some time for gravity to
negative that velocity. - Harper's

SHOOTING A HORSE.
The Way to Instantly End His Misery
Should He Break Leo.

Shoulo ne BREAK q Log
When a horse falls in the harness his
natural inclination is to get up again.
The shock Of the fall has excited him
more or less. and in his efforts to arise
he may further injure himself as well
as the harness. j.
The first action should be to sit on
his head, pointing his nose upward
with one hand, to keep him from
struggling until the traces and all other
attachments to the vehicle can be un-
fastened. If two persons are present
this can be done without dncult4.
1t horse breaks his leg the most
humane as well as the most sensible
action IS to shoot him on the SHOT
It is true that cases are on record
where broken legs have been success
fully treated by means of suspending
the horse in a sling and pulleys. but
the experiments in this direction have
almost invariably met with failure.
To shoot q suffering animal and kill
him instantly is not so simple mat
ter as 1t at first appears, says Country
Life In America. Many shots are
sometimes fred before death results.
How and where should a horse be
shot?
In the center of every horses fore
head a little above the line of the eyes
Is a little swirl something like a cow
lick. Three inches above this swirl is
the exact spot to lodge the bullet to
insure it's piercing the brain. The
bullet should not be of less thar SO
caliber.
For sprains hot or cold bandages are

be borne in mind that these drastic
measures are often unnecessarily TAX

Not fnfrequently horse will pick up

the first aid is to remove the nail. If

and give the animal rest until well. 1t
may be well to remove the shoe for
