Border States Not for Taft.

The result Of the Wisconsin primaries
should prove far from encouraging to
friends OF the president. As in North
Dakota, Mr., Taft was simply showed un-
der, and in fact makes such a pitiful
showing that his lack Of success may
well suggest his inability to carry these
states in case he should be renominated
In both these states, Mr.. Taft thought
he had strength, but evidently he over
estimated his support.
The result Of the first district in Maine
Yesterday, which was carried by sup
portcrs of Roosevelt and assures him two
delegates, demonstrates that the presi-
dent is weak in the Pine Tree state, for
the first district was supposed to be
stronger in Taft sentiment than some
OF the others In Vermont there is not
the slightest doubt that the second dis
strict has large majority of Roosevelt
delegates and it may turn out that the
delegates elected at large at the coming
Vermont state convention will be for
him.
North Dakota, Wisconsin, Maine and
Vermont are all states bordering on the
Canadian line, and the strong Roosevelt
sentiment NAV reflect a feeling that the
reciprocity views of Mr.. Taft have alien
ated support in those sections. This, of
course. does not mean that reciprocity
was not wanted by this country as a
whole. but it may indicate that the agri-
cultural interests in the border states
are seizing the first opportunity to get
back" at Mr. Taft for his advocacy of
closer trade relations with Canada

When Jubkins was little boy he seemed
to do his best
To keep his friends and neighbors in
perpetual unrest,
To gather up the strangest pets he
wandered far and wide;
A hop toad or garter snake was his
especial pride.
He kept them all about his clothes till
he came home at night
His mother screamed his father roared
as things crept into sight,
But Willie from his pockets proudly
set them forth, in line,
And said with frank, enthusiastic pleas
ure, Amt they fine"
When Jubkins grew to be a man he still
preserved in truth,
active mind which prompted ex-
ploration in his youth.
He gathered up strange theories from
every age and race
From books of quaint philosophers, from
camp and market place.
Whatever shocked the customary taste
OF modern man
He welcomed as treasure and to cher
ish it began.
He turned them loose in public and
through startled halls OF state,
Ana, needless of all protest, cried, Say,
people, amt they great!

Another Rural Tragedy.

The double shooting affair which took
place in RoXbury this week, gives trag-
ic emphasis to the claims of rural de
generacy in Vermont, which should
arouse the attention of every citizen OF
the commonwealth. The crime seems to
have been premeditated and wrought in
Geld blood. The assassin went into the
presence of his wife with a loaded revolt

der. Not succeeding in his purpose to
prevail upon her to leave the house, os-
teusibly for a walk, upon her peremp-
tory refusal to accompany him, the
wrctched man instantly drew his re-
volyer and without a word of warning,
shot his wife dead at his feet. Then,
turning the weapon upon himself he
completed his bloody work and put an
end to his worthless life. The only
thing in the whole transaction that is
at all satisfactory is that the murderer

scarce and the development Of tile in

The proposed work will also work to the
advantage Of the incoming immigrants,

these reasons, the league deserves to
meet with success.

Heavy Rains Cause Another
Rise in Rivers,
LEVEES BREAK OICE MORE
lucky and Tennessee Rivers Threat
en- Further Trouble-Most Dis
astrous Flood in History.

Washington, May l. - Following
heavy rains and another rise in the
rivers, the record breaking food of
the Mississippi river and tributaries
has suddenly taken on more serious
aspect.
Army officers who are stationed all
along the Mississippi from St. Louis
to New Orleans and for some distance
up some of the tributaries reported to
the war department that renewed dam
age is already developing in some of
the levees, and further destruction of
property throughout the valleys is
threatened. Approximately 100000
has been expended up to date in feed
ing the refugees.
The heavy rains in the Ohio, Mis-
souri, and upper Mississippi valleys
during the last week has brought the
water back to high stage at Hickman,
Mo-, Memphis and Helena, and rises
are reported all the way down to the
gulf. The people are returning to
New Madrid, Mo-, and Tiptonville,
Tenn, seeking shelter, and the levee
at Charleston, Mo, has broken again.
The situation is reported from
Memphis as critical and there is ur-
gent need of supplies in Memphis and
adjacent territory.
The tug Nokomis is on the way to
the vicinity of Baton Rouge with ra-
tions, forage, barges, small boats, etc,
for the rescue of people and animals
that are cut off.
Reports received at the war depart
ment from the engineer officers in the
Memphis district stated that the stage
at Cairo is 45.5 feet with rise in the
Ohio, Cumberland, Kentucky and
Tennessee rivers, and the Mississippi
above as well as below Cairo This
will make the entire situation as bad
as it was at it's height ten days ago,
when all previous high water records
were broken at many points along the
Mississippi. New breaks in the
levees north Of Birds Point were re-
ported.
Since this is the worst and most
disastrous general food situation in
the history of the country, the army
authorities estimated that the cost to
the government accordingly will be be-
yond precedent.
