In Mexico City.

Mexico City. May 10.-rhere is no
one in the capital tonight, not under
the official ban of silence, who does
rot admit that thu capture of JuareZ
BY the rebels adds immense prestige
to the flag of revolt and that moral
~ ii is bound greatly to augment
the strength of the Insurrecto cause.
The war began last November and
General Navarro took the field in
western Chihuahua. Skirmish fol-
lowed ambush with no apparent adj
vantage to either side. 1t has been
fight by the Insurrectos led at first
b. Orozco and later by Madero against
Navarro. The net result OF the long
campaign has been that the Federal
force was divided and that Navarro's
diminished command was caught at
Juarez and decisively beaten.
Navarro was not accounted brilliant
but was given credit for bravery and
determination. He was quoted in this
city as having assured the President
that he would die rather than sur
render 1t was generally believed he
would hold his position in the adobe
village on the south bank of the Rio
Grande. News that he had surren-
dered was therefore a surprise: but it
is generally admitted was not dis
appointment to 80 per cent. of the
people.
The general situation in its in
creased gravity furnished solemn
subject for tonight cabinet meeting.
With JuareZ in the hands of Gen.
Madero the task of Gen. Rabago on
his way north with 500 men Cor the
relief of Navarro more difficult.
In the general discussion tonight there
was disposition TO dismiss the border
situation for consideration for a moment.
and TO consider today's triumph with
reference to the unrest in other parts of
the country. The conquerng of the gov
ernment's leading general it is generally
conceded, cannot but stir the martial ar
dor and the ambition of those bands
whose operations thus far have been con-
fined to their own neighborhoods.
The rebels have taken the state of Chi
huahua by force of arms; they have long
controlled the greater part of Sonora, and
in the last two months have increased in
strength by leaps and bounds in Coahuila
Durango is conceded to the rebels and
Zacatecas is overrun with them. To the
south of the capital lies the menace of
the four Figueroa brothers, the most
powerful of whom. with 800 followers,
has been awaiting the result of Made
ros peace negotiations with the govern
ment. Recently he said he would be
guided for peace or war by Madero.
Besides this force, vague estimates
have it that there are anywhere from
300 Ia 10000 scantily equipped forces
waiting To be organized into fighting
force by the Fugueroas for an attack
on this city The Figueroas claim that
5000 of their followers are armed.
In the last few days belief has sprung
up than the Federal force in this city
does not come within 80 per cent. OF the
strength which has been credited 10 it.
In many minds there is doubt as to the
Loyalty of many of those troops should

very brink of the cataract today by
Constable Thomas Harrington of the
state reservation police. In making
the rescue the officer was in great
danger of being carried over the falls
by the struggling woman.
Mrs. Hartley entered the water
about 60 feet above the falls. BY
chance her dress caught on jagged
rock 10 feet from the brink and there
she was held until Harrington reached
the bank BY standing in a shore eddy
and stretching his arm to its utmost
the officer was able to hook pike
pole into her dress.
Her arms being pinioned by the ter
rifle current Mrs. Hartley tried by
turning her body to free herself from
the pole, but she was unsuccessful.
Finally, weakened by her struggles,
and frequent submersions in the water
she became quiet and was dragged
ashore.
On the river bank was found a let
ter and a bunch OF flowers. The let
ter read;
NO longer to be treated as a thing
demented."
At the hospital tonight it was said
that Mrs. Hartley could not live.

which will surpass all previous cam
paigns A few days ago a delegation
of suffragettes interviewed Premier
Asquith to obtain pledge that the
government would undertake to pass
a bill giving equal suffrage to both
sexes. Premier Asquith declined to
make such pledge, but told the
women instead that he had always
been opposed to woman suffrage.
At a subsequent meeting the sui.
fragettes decided to inaugurate a
war of demonstration" in Parliament
square on Nov 81. They have sum
moned all their followers and male
sympathizers to assemble around the
parliament building at s p. M. The
fact that the gathering is fixed for
after dark may make unusual trials
for the police. PethiCk Lawrence ex-
plains it thus:
"The gathering has been arranged
later for the express reason that the
honest workingmen will be in the
streets We have found it affords
women moral protection against VIC
lence by the police and hooligans."

that the women certainly will push
their way to the floor of the house of

Attest
Ed llarter, City Clerk.


Mrs. G. w. Smith. daughter of MIR.
and Mrs. G. w. Mauck of Hoskins. is
back at her fathers home after a
short experience in married life
which commenced with an clopement
to Madison, where she married the
lIOskins relief station agent and end
ed at Sioux City where her father
found her pennilcss with her clothes
and gold watch in a pawn shop.
Some months ago the girl and the
Hoskins station agent made spccta-
cular runaway, chased by the irate
father. An automobile took the young
couple to Madison where they were
bound in wedlock by Judge Bates
while the father stayed in a Norfolk
hotel and awaited their return here.
Deputy County Clerk David Hodson
acted as Il witness to the wedding
The girl declared she was of age, but
the father claimed she was only rs
years old. On the young couples re-
turn to Norfolk, Smith was arrested
and released on bonds signed by
friends the next morning. A formal
charge of kidnapping was filed against
him. The case still stands in the dis
trict court at Madison and, according
| to the father, it will be pushed.
In the meantime the young couple,
after many handicaps, got together
and have been living at Smiths home
at Sioux City. The father went to
Sioux City recently and declares he
found his daughter in very poor cir
| cumstances. Her watch had been
| soaked" and much of her clothing
had gone the same way. He brought
her back to Hoskins and declares she
has applied for divorce from Smith
| in the Sioux City courts.
