RIOT AND DEATH
IN MEXICO CITY
Ell IMPARCIAL BUILDING BURNED.
THREE DIE IN FIRE.
Woman with Portrait of Madero Heads
Mob and Incites Men and Women to
Intense Fury.

Mexico City.-Enraged by the an
nouncement that President Diaz would
not resign Immediately, spectators in the
gallery of the chamber Of deputies We'd
nesday afternoon precipitated a riot that
has resulted in numbers being shot down
by the police and troops.
The police fired on a mob in front of
Ell Impartial building, after it had been
set on fire. Following the dispersal of
this wing Of the mob the firemen sue.
ceeded in extinguishing the fire.
President Diaz has had fever for five
days, taking liquid nourishment only.
Until 9 o'clock pm. the mob encoun-
tered practically no opposition by the
authorities, and apparently little restric-
ton was necessary. Shouting yivas for
Madero, they paraded the streets of the
capital, but always in an orderly fash
ion except for the noise, and occasional
instances of vandalism were Immediately
condemned by the thousands Of march
ing men, who joined in shouts of "Or-
der, order"
The shouting, g%esticulating mass of
humanity was warned to move on, but a
confidence born of better treatment ear
lier in the evening caused them to re-
ceive with derision the order of the po-
lice. Again they were told to dispense,
and again no attention was paid to the
order. Quickly their shouts Of ridiculc
were turned into cries of anguish, for
the guns of the police and the soldiers
were throwing into their midst a hail of
bullets. The living stumbled in a mad
rush over the bodies of the dead and
wounded.
The narrow streets were jammed with
fleeing men and many women. For a
few minutes the guns of the govern
ment were stilled, but a ~re-gathering
in the street corners of the now thor
oughly enraged, as well as frightened
partisans of Madero resulted in another
order to fire at will. Sharper and longer
now came the shooting. The mob fled,
but the troops had not yet intimidated
the rioters to the point where they were
willing to submit. The force Of the
iron hand was weakening and despite
the death it had brought, the rioters
refused to do more than scatter into
miniature mobs, each shouting for Ma
dero and yelling for the early downfall
of the present government.
The troops which did the shooting re
inforced the police later. The shouts Of
the mob crying viva Madero" and
Death to Diaz' could be plainly heard,
although they did not penetrate so far as
the presidents bed chamber, save when
some careless servant allowed the doors
to remain open for a moment.
When the crowd started on its march
it wa led by a coach in which stood a
young woman of the better class in a
white linen suit and wearing a big black
feathered hat. She waved a Mexican flag
and urged the men about her to a great
er pitch of excitement. Beside her
stood a young mar holding aloft a large
framed crayon of the revolutionary lead
er. About the city they made their way,

NeiqhborlY Help.

Shortly before departing on a three
weeks visit to a distant city, Benja-
min Rawn, who lives near Colfax,
in the state of Washington, intimated
to several neighbors that he believed
that somewhere in a ten-acre lot on
his farm there was an immense
amount of gold dust which had been
buried there by a misery ancestor,
When he returned from his visit he
found that lot plowed and replowed
more thoroughly than it ever had
been before. Mr.. Rawn has planted
that lot in potatoes, and SO far as
can be a~scertained, he has never
asked whether the plowmen found
any buried treasure. 1t seems that
Mr.. Rawn has some exceedingly
friendly and helpful n~eighbors, Also,
he has read his Aesop.

Eldora. May 20.--Two million young
pike have been planted in the Iowa
river here with the result that within
year or so there must Of necessity be
good fishing along the banks of the
Iowa in the vicinity Of Eldora. These
fish We're Matched at the government
hatcheries at Manchester. Iowa. and
were brought here when but q day
old. Mr.. Hurhy of the government
fish commission accompanied the fish
here. j. B. Mathers. Of Eldora, one of
the park commissioners, is the man re-
sponsible for the planting of these
, fish.
This consignment is but a part Of
an allotment for the Iowa river at this
point and consisted OF about 1000, 900
pike fry. The bass and crappies al
lotted will arrive in July. The size OF
the little Wigglers can be imagined
when it is known that it took but
twenty ten gallon cans to carry the
whole number. it being estimated that
there are about 100000 fish to Il can.
Stand Shipment We'll.
Experience has shown that pike
when young are easily injured and
without great loss. For this reason it
has been found best to always ship
them as soon after they are Matched as
possible. In spite of this fact when
the fish are once planted they are
hardy and grow rapidly. The fish
just placed in the Iowa viii reach
four or five inches in length by fall
and in two years Will be large enough
to furnish splendid fishing. weighing
from two to three pounds. Mr. HURRY
states that the fish came thru in good
shape and that the conditions We're SO
favorable that he expects fully fifty
per cent to reach maturity.
This shipment together with the two
others Of black bass and crappies COM
ing IN July should make fishing al
this point as good as any inland
stream In the country affords. Half of
the fish were placed in the river above
the dam near the boat house and the
rest at-North bridge.
