NO ATTACK YET
MADE ON JuAREZ

ments Ten Miles West Navar-
no Coming to Relief.

El Paso, Tex, Feb. 6.--Outgeneral-
ed in their effort to prevent the en-.
trance into Juarez of Colonel Rabago
and 300 federal troops from the south
the Mexican revolutionists under
Pasqual Orozco have taken up posi-
ton ten miles west of Juarez, within
easy striking distance of the town.
Here 1t is declared they are replen.
ishing their supplies of ammunition
and awaiting reinforcements.
Alanis, with an insurgent force of
between 500 and 600 men, was report.
ed twenty-five miles east of Juarez
last night. He had sharp skirmish
with band of 100 federals last night,
the federals retiring in front OF such
overwhelming odds. Alanis was ex,
pected to join Orozco in front of Juar.
ez today.
General Navarro's command of zoe
men, which has been campaigning
around Chihuahua City, is reported
making forced marches overland to
the relief of the beleaguered city.
Should Navarro succeed in getting in
to Juarez with his forces the insur.
gents will have their work cut out
for them for Navarro's men are vet.
Grams, seasoned by hard campaigning.
Indeed, Mexican officials are conf
dent that the city, protected by 900
soldiers, is now safe from assault, and
that the campaign of the young revo-
lutionist leader will soon end in his
defeat and the scattering of his fol-
lowers.
Hoping for Navarro.
All this, however, is promised on
the belief that General Navarro will
succeed in reaching the Rio Grande
with his troops. Had Orozco succeed.
ed yesterday in holding off Rabagos
reinforcements nothing could have
saved Juarez from the hands of the
revolutionists. But with his troops
within the city, Orozco and Alanis
now have before them 600 we'll armed
regulars and Juarez, If it falls, will,
1t is believed, fall only after bloody
fighting.
The whereabouts of Orozco and 9TH
er rebel leaders and commands is
puzzling the federal officials. Members
of the insurrecto junta declare the
rebels ran out of food and water and
had to withdraw, but will attack soon,
and that Orozco will be reinforced by
men from Ojinga, east of here, and
others from the vicinity of Galena and
Casas Grandes south.
With fears of immediate attack dis
sipated tension in Juarez relaxed
this morning and business was resum-
ed generally.

BARNEY ON THE TRAIL,
Milk Dealers License Will Mean
Something.

The new law in regard to the state
dairy commissioners duties is now
in force and Commissioner Barney
is planning to make the law as to
milk dealers licenses mean some
thing right off. He has issued a few
licenses, in cases where he has GER
tain knowledge that the applicant is
prepared to serve clean and whole
some milk; but the great majority
of the licenses asked for have not
yet been sent out.
Milk dealers must show, and do
it now, that they are competent to
engage in the business, and that they
keep their places clean and sell good
milk Those who fail in this regard
will get no licenses or have them re-
voked.
Commissioner Barney has in con-
sultation with him this week DR.. O.
p. Thompson, one of the dairy ex-
perts, and they are planning how to
make this new law effective and get
the best results. 1t is probable that
before LICENSES are generally issued
some personal inspection of dairies
will be made in different parts of the
state. At any rate the dollar fee is
not to be all of the benefits of the
new law.

WaukOn is Interested.

The saloon situation is not so ia
vorable for the liquor dealers in
Winneshiek county as it was a week
ago. While the board of supervisors
decided that the second mulct petit
ton was sufficient, after subtracting
the names of voters who had died or
moved away, the Supreme Court af-
firmed Judge Hobson's decision that
the first petition was insufficient.
The anti-saloon people will now APP
peal the second petition to the courts
and it will likely meet the same fate
as the first one. In that case the
saloons would have to close in Sep
TENDER unless one of the Supreme
Judges came to their relief as he
did before. Waukon is interested
in the question because with saloons
running in DEBORAH and Waukon
dry we are bound to lose consider
able trade from the west ALBANIA

LOCAL COUNTY FAIRS.
What Attitude of Public Should be
Toward County Fair.

The American county fair is an
institution which has passed through
varying stages of success and failure.
Some have grown to enormous pro-
portions, while others have dwindled
to failure and have been discontin-
Ued. Many factors have been influ-
entail in determining the success or
failure of these institutions and not
the least Of these has been the atti-
tude and ideals of the board of direc-
tors and the patroniZing public.
That many county fairs have been
successful, and see yet before them
new fields of opportunity, forcibly
tells that there is duty and prom
inent place for the county fair prop
erly managed and supported. 1t may
be said here that the managing board
in most cases labors long and inces-
sently to build up a creditable eXhi-
hit of county, its ideals, resources
wealth and prosperity. In far toe
many cases the support which they
receive from citizens of the county
is half-hearted and lacks enthusiasm
What. then, are the objects of 8
! tOuuly IdiI ny uOcS II eNlSl
! What should be the attitude of the
public toward it? What good car
it do the public? What good car
it do the individual?
The first object of a county fair i:
education. 1t furnishes a place fol
exploitation of public and individual
achievement and public resources. Il
exists because Of public demand

should be to set high moral and in

for increased prosperity. 1t can dc
the public good just in proportion t
the support which it receives from
the public. The good which it car
do the individual depends largely up
on his support. The county fair car
not be benefited by, and is better of
without, the presence or participa
ton Of the individual or set of indi
viduals who have. in their own opin

AUTO DOES a BIG STUNT.
Car Turns Complete S0mersauI.
When il Strikes Chuck
Hole.

John OMAHA CT Iowa Falls had an
automobile that recently won the
distinction of looping the loop with
out the loop. Mr.. OMAHA was re-
turning from Popejoy and had as
passengers several citizens of Ack-
ley.
About three o'clock in the morn
ing as OMAHA was entering the city
limits his car struck a chuck hole.
The auto had broken spring that
had been patched up, having a piece
of wood wired under the spring to
hold the body of the auto in place.
The sudden jolt when the machine
struck the chuck hole loosened the
improvised repair and allowed the
body of the auto to drop on the run
ming gear and this acted as a brake,
instantly throwing the occupants of
the car several feet forward while
the auto itself turned complete
somersault, striking on it's wheels
In its circular flight, the engine was
reversed and when it struck the
earth again started backward, but
soon struck bank and stopped.
The occupants of the auto escaped
without serious injury but this no
doubt was due to the fact that the
machine did not have a top on it, and
thus allowed the passengers and the
driver ample room in which to make
hasty exit from the car. The auto
was badly damaged in it's eccentric
escapade.

What HAPPENS

You know what happens when you
use a light which burns in the open
air. First you have smoke which
soon disfigures your wall and ceiling,
decorations and your hangings, MAX
ing frequent and expensive renewals
necessary to keep them fresh and
clean.
Next you have fouling of the air
due to the burning out of the oxy-
gen and the formation of poisonous
gases. Even house plants succumb
to these gases at times. When we
know that pure air is the first essen
tial to good health. is it not best to
use a light that gives off neither
smoke nor gas?
Then you have the danger of fire
which is always present when you
use an open flame light.
Since the introduction of the
Mazda Lamp electric light is the
cheapest light. 1t gives off no
smoke, does not spoil the air you
breathe, it is safe and you simply
press the button and have light.
We would like to give you an es-
innate of the cost of wiring your
building. Upper Iowa Power Co.

ment to meet the demand of the au-

Secretary Hayward yesterday after
noon. in the vault there are from
5000 to 5000 letters all unopened.
Everyone of the persons who
wrote those letters has done his best
to comply with the new law. For
the time being he will have to go
without a number, or even receipt
to show that he has applied for a
new number.
Some of these men whose letters
remain unanswered, have been held
up by police. In my opinion the
peace officers should be lenient with
such motorists for the next month
at least.

Will BE Small.

Secretary Wesley Greene of the
horticultural department, states that
the reports indicate that practically
the entire apple crop of Iowa will
be marketable this year, and the
waste from scab and insects will be
unusually small. The dry weather
has prevented any harm to the grow
ing apples from scab and the lack Of
fruit last year prevented a breeding
of the worms and bugs. The June
hot weather injured the fruit to
some extent, but Iowa will still have
a fair fruit crop.

STEERS CAME BACK.
Some Early Iowa History i'm Iowa
and Nebraska Worth Reading.

Much is expected from the great
[sagacity of dogs and many remark
able stories are credited to our ca
nine friends, but that extraordinary
intelligence is possessed by dumb,
| driven cattle is rarely suspected
and any evidence of such is worthy
of recognition.
Back in the year 1862 or 1868, a.
certain Mr.. Slimmer-now resident
of st. Paul, Minn.-was living in the
town of Waverly, Iowa. In the au-
tumn of that year he purchased a
pair of young steers, two and a half
of Flynn, who lived six miles south
of Waverly. These animals were
driven to Waverly and then north
west with a herd of cattle to Palo
Alto county, where they were win
tered, This range was approximate
ly one hundred and sixty-siX miles
from the farm on which the steers
were raised.
In the spring the steers were sold
by Mr.. Simmer to cattle dealers at
Webster City, Iowa, to which place
they were driven in a southeasterly
direction distance of some eighty
five miles. In May, the trader at
Webster City drove them in a herd
to Omaha, Nebraska, where they
were bought by freighters Up to
this time the steers had not been
broken to yoke, but this their new
owners proceeded to do when they
took. the trail to the west about
the first of June.
The following October, a full
year from the time the steers left
home, the animals appeared at the
Flynn ranch where they had been
bred, They were now well-broken
cattle, so it was evident that they
had been driven at least five hundred
miles west of Omaha before they es-
capped from the freighters, of whom
nothing further was learned by Mr..
Simmer. Assuming that the steers
were on the road, going and return
ing, from the first of June until
October, five hundred miles scarce
ly can be an over-estimate of the
distance they had travelled west OF
Omaha. From that city TO Waverly
is approximately two hundred and
seventy miles, so that it is a safe as
sertion to say that the animals COW
cred at least seven hundred and fifty
miles on their back trail to F'lynn's
ranch. But that is net all, for il
1 must be remembered that they were
compelled to swim the swift current
of the Missouri river and several 9TH
er lesser streams which interviewed.
Iowa and Nebraska at that time
were practically nothing but uncul-
tiyated prairie covered with tall wild
grass and having few distinguishing
andmarks-such country as
would test the ability of the most ex>
pert plainsman to hold a true
course through it. Although the
steers previously had ben driven
ccnfusingly about Iowa for more
than four hundred miles, and had
been absent from their home a full
year, nevertheless these remarkable
animals have taken very nearly an
air line across a part of Wyoming,
all of Nebraska, and a part of Iowa,
in answer to the mysterious force
that drew them back again to the
home ranch
