FORE|GNERS ARE
IN PERIL IN MEXICO
Armed Bands Roam Over Country
and Rob Americans, French, Ger
... mans and British.

MEXICO CITY, May with food
prices soaring skyward because OF
the interruption Of railway communi-
cation and well authenticated reports
reaching the capital that a force OF
more than 1900 revolutionists is
withing striking distance, II is ad-
mitted even by conservative govern
ment officials that the outlook is ex-
tremely critical.
Much depends on the peace confer
enec now in progress on the banks
Of the Rio Grande, but unless an
agreement Is reached there within As
hours, 1t Is feared IL will be too late.
Disorder OF the most extreme type
Is reported today from the states OF
Sonora, Guerrero. Durango. coahuila,
Puebla, Morelos, and, In fact, In every
state excepting the so-called federal
territory and Oaxaca and Chiapas.
Armed bands are roaming over the
country pillaging and numbering
where resistance is made. Most OF
these are repudiated by the actual
leaders of the revolution but their
numbers are being augmented daily.
II is these men who have committed
most OF the outrages on foreigners
and the fact that they have robbed
French, Germans, British and Ameri-
cans, as well as the natives, adds to
the gravity OF the situation.
The foreign representatives here
have demanded protection for their
fellows from the Diaz government,
alt nrnmfQnc
made the government is unable TO
keep them. II Is regarded as unsafe
further to weaken the local garrison
here, and the other troops scattered
through the country are compelled to
concentrate their attention In up
holding the government In state cap
itals and cannot be utilized to chase
the robbing bands.
Carlos Carnes, a local resident who
reached this city from Cuernavaca by
automobile, says the situation Is
acute. The insurrectos are pressing
the garrison closely. He says he was
passed through the insurgent lines
by the commander, former ac-
quaintance, and that he learned there
are fully 200 men within a days
march Of the capital. He said that
the insurrectos we're planning to am
bush the 400 men under Gen. Huerta
who are mraching to the relief OF
Cuernavaca.
1t was made known at the foreign
office today that the first hitch In
connection with the peace negotia-
tions has arisen over the demand of
the federal government that Fran
cisco Madero prove to the satisfac-
ton OF the government that he Is en-
titled to treat for all Of the revolu-
tionists now under arms. This he
said he was not prepared to do, al.
though he insisted that most Of the
men now under arms against the gov
ernment. are his supporters.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY

WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

"a newspaper is not the place
in which to shcw a signboard.
Merely printing the name of
some article without telling
something about it, won't pay.
Advertising has reached the
point where it is regarded as
news by readers of newspapers,
and in order to make it effective
it must be news"
So said MARSHALL WHIT

of the STANDARD MILLING

DEATH OF HIS WIFE WAS
F0RETOLD IN A DREAM
Strange Vision Of Man Three Weeks
Before Fulfillment 8eareves Him.

SPRINGFIELD o., May 4.-That in
a vision he was warned OF the ap'
preaching death of his wife and that
for three weeks he lived in constant
dread OF her. sudden dissolution, Is
the statement made by Jacob Olinger,
of South Vienna, this county.
Mrs. Olinger died two weeks ago,
having suddenly fallen across the cas-
ket OF a sister at whose funeral Mrs.
Olinger. as the head OF the local or
ganization was officiating. Mrs Olinger
had been in perfect health, apparent
ly, up to that time
Mr.. Olinger says that he dreamed
OF going along a darkened avenue OF
considerable length, conducted by an
angel His guide pointed out to him
bright lights at intervals along the
way and had him count them. This
he did and found out that there were
thirty-four AS they wandered along
the path Mr.. Olinger says that he
came in mis- dream to the last Of the
thirty.four lights, but that the path
went on into farther darkness. He
asked the angel what was the mean
ing of the failure OF the lights. The
thirty-four lights are the thirty-four
four years of your married life," re-
piled the angel "You have observed
that there are no more lights beyond.
This is the parting, the light of your
pathway Is about TO be extinguished
and you must journey on through the
darkness alone"

ONION QUEEN WILL REALIZE
100000 ON THIS YEARS CROP
Never a Book Farmer, She Has Ac-
quired knowledge Through Hard
Experjenc

LAREDO, Texas, May 4.-One hun
dred thousand dollars for one sea-
sons crop of onions is the amount OF
money that Mrs. Edwarts c. Dodd,
who is known as the Bermuda onion
queen, will receive from the yield
on 225 acres Of her land near Laredo
this year.
In her younger womanhood Mrs.
Dodd was a school teacher at Tylor,
Tex. When her husband, the late +.
W. Dodd, attorney. died several
years ago he left her a few hundred
acres of brushy and cactus covered
land, bordering on the Rio Grande
on the outskirts Of Laredo. The land
in addition to being considered Of lit
tie, II any, value except for grazing
goats, was covered with all the mort
gage that II could bear.
Mrs. Dodd found herself without
other property or means of a liveli-
hood, and II was with determination
that she entered upon the work OF
securing revenue from the desert
land.
This was in the first stages OF the
Bermuda onion growing industry in

profitable to others she decided that
she would trysit, and she has been a
success. No detail of the business
was overlooked by her. In the be-
ginning, she had to overcome many
serious problems and difficulties in
the matter OF irrigating the land and
I'm carrying out other necessary de-
tails. OF the onion growing industry.
The fact that the property lies ad-
jacent to the Rio Grande made IL
possible for her to install an irriga-
ton pumping plant at a favorable To-
cation and from II construct a main
ditch, which now extends over the
cultivated area OF her 400 acres.
| The first year Mrs. Dodd had
cleared and planted In onions 70
acres of her land and realized a net
croft OF $4,000 from the crop. She
was not in any sense Of the word,
nor has she since been, book farm
er. All that she hes learned Of the
onion growing industry has been
through practical experience. and her
knowledge Of this branch OF agricul-
ture IL the equal OF that of any other
tonion grower In Texas, and 10 90 ad-
mitted by all who are engaged In the

SIX LEGISLATORS
ACCUSED Or CRAFT
ARE OUT ON BAIL
Three State Senator'S, Two Represen'
tatives and Sergeant-at-Arms Are
Indicted by Grand Jury Which
Is Probing Bribery Charges.
Counter Charges Against Three Burns
Detectives Who Gave. Bribes To
Rep. Nye Expected To Be Dropped.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 4.-That
the Ohio legislative Doodle scandal
has only been partly tapped by the
six indictments returned late yester
day against five Legislators and sen
ate employe, was evident today when
the grand jury resumed It's bribe In
vestigation. Both Prosecutor Turner
and Detective Burns declared that
only ANAL part Of the evidence that
has been secured has SO far been
presented to the grand jury and that
other indictments will follow rapidly
The six men indicted late yester'
day afternoon, consisting of Senators
Huffman, Andrews and Cetone, Rep
resentatives Nye and Lowry and Sen
ate Sergeant-atArms Diegle, are 10
day out on bonds aggregating 100000
which they furnished shortly after
giving themselves up last night. The
largest bond, that OF $4,000, was re-
quired Of Rep. Nye, who caused the
arrest of the three Burns detectives
after accepting two 800 bribes from
them, solely for the purpose, he de-
clared. Of trapping them. Two OF the
indictments against him, however, re-
late TO other transactions.
Eleven indictments were returned
altogether. Rep. George Nye Is charg-
ed in four with having solicited a
$500 bribe to support a gerrymander
bill that had for its object the GUST
ing of Judge Blair, who conducted
the famous Adams county. vote
probe; another charges him with
soliciting 500 bribe to support the
nine-hour working day bill for wo-
men; another with soliciting $4,000
to support a bill admitting foreign
mutual insurance companies to the
state and the fourth with soliciting
$1,000 for the support OF the gerry
mander bill.
men are all based on charges Of
soliciting bribes in connection with
the above bills, save that against
Sergeant-atArms Diegel, who ID
charged with aiding and abetting the
soliciting OF bribs, Il being alleged
that he carried messages between
Senator Hoffman and Detective Har
rison, soliciting 5000 bribe on the
foreign insurance companies bill.
Nine Of the indictments were bas
ed on the testimony as secured by the
detectives on the dictaphone; the 9th
er two, those being against Rep. Nye
were based on testimony Of the men
from whom he is declared to have so
licited the bribes.
Prosecutor Turner announced today
that the men will be tried as quickly
as possible. On the other hand, the
attorneys for the indicted men say
they cannot be ready for trial inside
Of three weeks. AS all six of the men
have retained the same Arm of at.
torneys, II is understood they will
make the same defense, which will
be that they solicited the bribes sole
ly with the intention OF trapping
would-be bribers.
The grand refused to return indict.
ments against the three Burns detec.
tives who we're arrested for giving
bribes to Rep Nye and 1t Is under.
stood the cases against them will now

LIGHT LET'S LOOSE
Few Heat Rays ON the County
C0mmlssiOners Regarding Ex-
penditure of Road Funds

Editor Star: [ went to Ocala last
Tuesday expecting to go before the
county commissioners, in answer to
the invitation the board gave in a set
Of resolutions passed at its last reg
ular meeting, inviting the public TO ex-
press themselves as to whether the
board should continue the present rate
of expenditures in road work or cur
tail expenses.
After explaining TO a friend my
business before the commissioners, he
Informed me that in open session he
heard a member Of the board say that
the board did not want any light from
Light of Reddick on any subject. I
knowingly don't go where / am not
wanted
Instead of talking to the five COM
missioners, I'll speak to thousands
through the columns of our county
papers. This is what / was going to
tell the commissioners:
On July 1st there was S2311 in our
road fund. The railroads paid their
taxes in July, which added about S.
900 to road receipts. The levy for next
year will add $4,000, other receipts a
few thousands more, there will be
less than 100000 in the road fund for
the next sixteen months.
The commissioners have already ap-
propriated for next year one warrant
of over $1,000, interest on a $4,000
road debt, more than $4,000, road ma
chinery nearly $1,000, totaIing more
than $4,000, thereby leaving less than
$4,000 for sixteen months work
The commissioners spent in the first
six months of this year on roads more
than $4,000 and with less than $4,000
available to run them for the next
sixteen months, how can they continue
the same rate of expenditures.
$4,000 in 1909, $4,000 in 1910 and
$4,000 in six months OF 1911 with
S23l1 in treasury and but $4,000
available for sixteen months for road
purposes warrants me TO say to the
commisS Sioners:
You must either cut expenses to
cover receipts or must raise receipts
to cover expenses.
There will be an effort made to have
the courts enjoin you from borrowing
or getting the use of money contrary
to the law and constitution of this
state.
The laws of 1909 made provision
whereby the board could have raised
money to cancel much of its indebted l.
ness and pay interest thereon. The
board refused to help itself The laws
of 1911 gave the county commissioners
authority to assess eight mills for road
purposes. They assessed but five mills,
prefering to pay a large interest bill
and go deeper in debt than raise the
money as needed.
Commissioners cut expenses.
