Counter Revolt In
 Mexico Against
 Madero Government
Especial from United Press.l

Mexico City, July 14-A counter revolution against the Madero govern ment, planned, it is declared, by the Cientificos or "Reactionaries" of the Diaz regime, is professed to have been found, today in the sudden renewal of fighting between Maderists and Fed erals in several States and is causing President De La Barra and the cab inet much anxiety.
 The Cientificos, it is charged, are taking advantage of the approaching elections to stir up political disturb ances, rendered easy by the fact that the feeling between the DiaZ 1oyalistS and the Maderists as result of the revolution is far from allayed
 The fighting in which more than 100 were killed at Puebla, yesterday, a few hours before Madero's arrival in that city, is declared to have been carefully planned by the Cientificos.
 Reports, today from Ocotlan say that fighting has been renewed there between the adherents of rival candi- dates for Governor. More than 50 persons are reported to have been killed in the last few days.
 Announcement was expected, today, of the appointment of a new provi- sional governor for the State of Jalis- co, where the chief executive resigned after adjourning the Legislature, in order to become a candidate in the coming elections.
 Today's reports from the State of Chiapas that 2,OO0 armed men there have refused to obey the order of the Federal troops to disband is adding to the cabinets perpleXities, especially as it is not in accord as to what mea- sures should be taken.

The Wisconsin Legislature the most radical body which has probab- ly ever represented any state east of the Mississippi, is about to adjourn. It has fulfilled with orly one excep- tion the radical program promised by the Republican platform. The only failure was the adoption of an ad valorem system of taxation for all public utility corporations The ac- complished 'big things include the state income tax already mentioned by us; the workmen's compensation act with commission authorized to do everything relating to labor and industrial matters; a stringent cor rupt practices act, with revision of the election laws; law regulat ting the control of water, completing the for est reserve and promoting conserva- tion generally; constitutional amend ments providing for the initiative, ref erendum and recall; home rule for cities; $350,000 annually for highway improvements: laws regulating work ing hours for women and children; the creation of a board of public affairs" to investigate the states fin- ancial and accounting system; appro- priaiting $45O,000 for state binder twine plant If all these work out as expected it will be fine for the people and taxpayers.

Canteloupe and Ice Cream.

Select a sweet, ripe canteloupe, the nutmeg variety being the most desir- able by reason of flavor and size
 The ripeness and flavor of a melon can often be discovered by the odor it eXudes, even through the rind If it is ripe and sweet, it will smell rich and fragrant. Cut it in two, remove the seeds and fill the hollow with ice cream, vanilla being the best for this purpose, though any flavor may be used. The cream and the melon should be eaten together, or in alter nate bites, one adding to the taste of the other. This is one of the most delightful summer dishes on record.

Strawberries and Lemons.

While strawberries are still in sea . son it is wise to include this delicious fruit in the daily menu. A new way of serving strawberries is as follows: Place the fruit, after removing the stalks, in a deep dish, sprinkle we'll with castor sugar. then squeeze the juice of lemon all over the fruit. Allow 1t to stand about ten minutes. One lemon is sufficient for each pound of fruit. The lemon juice brings out the flavor of the strawber- ries, and can be enjoyed by those who dare not touch the usual strawber- ries and cream.
