WILL STOP
RAILROAD
TRAFFIC
INSURGENTS, BECAUSE RAIL-
ROADS CARRIED FEDERAL
TROOPS BEGAN SYSTEM OF DY-
NAMITING BRIDGES THAT WILL
STOP ALL COMMUNICATION.

Washington, March 16.-Because
the Mexican railways refused to COM
ply with General Madero's order to
cease transporting federal troops, the
rebels began today campaign of
bridge destruction which caused a
prediction by the junta here that all
rail communication with interior
Mexico would be cut within "a hours.
The junta points to the activities of
the insurrectos as the best answer to
the reports that Madero Is suing for
peace.
The junta issued the following
statement:
"The report that the revolution
airy soldiers intended to dynamite the
railroads leading into the interior of
Mexico is true. The action was nee
essary to stop the sending of federal
soldiers and supplies. The railroads
had been warned time and again.
General Madero told them that
If they ceased, the revolutionists
would not interfere with their traffic
but that If they ntinued their rails
and bridges would be dynamited.
They did not heed the warnings, and
must suffer the consequences"

Portland, Or, March 16.-An un-

pouring into Portland and the North
west daily from practically every
state east of the Rockies. 1t was es.
timated today that fully 1000 home
seekers reached Portland yesterday
and last night, and railroad officials

TROOPS ON THE BORDER TO

SHIPS WERE TRIED OUT.

San Antonio Tex, March 16.-Al-
though $4,000 troops have arrived
here and are in camp, the govern
ment still holds every car that was
used to transport them and their
equipment.
Quantities of ammunition arriving
are left on the cars in the yards.
Tourist sleepers, day coaches, 400
gondola cars, stock cars and loco
motives also are being held here, but
railway officials will not answer
whether the government is paying
the demurrage.
The $4,000 troops are being re-
cruited to a strength of 10000.
The first "maneuvers" took place
today when several regiments were
ordered to concenl themselves in
the country nearby, while Lieutenant
and Aviator Parmalee were ordered
to scout duty and instructed to find
the concealed forces and report their
numbers, location, equipment, posi-
ton of guns and the most vulnerable
point of attack. 1t is intended that
the aerial scouts shall be given the
most severe tests.

was giving her gentle ministrations
to him. He seemed so nearly gone
in fact, that the nurse was puckering
her marble brow, and bringing her
big blue eyes as nearly to squint
as such pretty orbs could be brought,
in an effort to decide whether to call
the doctor or coroner.
The patient, however, managed to
gaspingly inquire as to the amount of
his bill. When the nurse told him
SO, Van Black received the shock of
his life, running up in the kilowatts,
so to speak, until the kilowatter
"busted.' 1t was like applying live
wire to the spinal cord of a frog.
Van Black forgot his fall, the barn,
his sides, his aches, his lost voice,
everything except sort Of moving
mental picture show that looked like
this: 50 SO SO $9-and so on with
no blessed curtain to drop and shut
it out.
He sprang out of bed, and somehow
managed to get his pants and a coat.
He borrowed a pair of socks from
another patient-came down town
and bought a pair of shoes, found a
discarded hat in the Woodmen's hall,
and then hunted up Day Officer Burk-
hardt and told him the gruesome
tale. Burkhardt went with him to
the sanatorium, where the officials
gladly gave him the balance of his
clothes. They didn't want them and
the nurses didn't wear that kind, not
being married, and so Van Black is
again all right, clothed and in his
right mind" but It will be some
time before he falls off another barn
or gets on one, for as he says; They
come too high"
The nurse says that for quick and
successful action that 50 bill has all
the patents or prescriptions beaten tc
fragile, for it was the most sudden
and complete cure, snatch from the
laws Of death as it we're, that was
ever accomplished in all the histories
of all the sanatoriums that ever
sanitated.
