thratened international complications,
has been released by the rebels and

Jiminez, April 4.-The federal de-
Tenders Of Parral again are within its
adobe walls sustaining the fire Of the
reinforced rebels.
Throughout yesterday afternoon
there was fighting near Baca, twenty
miles distant, between the rebel rear
guard, under Major Quevada, and the
federals who pursued Campo from
Parral Tuesday to that point.
During the night Gen. salazar's re-
ginforcements arrived aud the federals
retired 10 their base. Gen. Luis Fer.
nandez, another rebel leader, arrived,
and preparations to take the town be-
gan in earnest, salazar embarking on
thanking movement while Major
Quevada and Gen Fernandez engaged
the enemy in front.
Gen. Orozco declared that within
twenty-four hours the city will be his.
Until this has been accomplished,
however. it viii not be Immediately
possible to move against Torreon.
Mexico City, April 5.-News dis
patches received here from the rebel
headquarters at Jiminez bring addi-
tional details Of the defeat Of Campo,
the revolutionary commander. who
was driven back from Parral Tues
day By a superior force Of federals.
Campo left Jiminez Saturday with
about 700 men who we're divided into
two columns. He reached his position
close to Parral Monday and having
occupied a nearby hillside with his
artillery. opened fire upon the town.
His position exposed him to the fed
eral fire which eventually compelled
him to withdraw He quit his posi-
tion Monday and on the following day
started back to Iiminez.
Campo reported having encountered
far larger force OF federals than he
ANTICIPATED. stating Gen. Tellez was
in command with nearly 200O men.
This is reported to have materially
changed General orozco's plans Of op-
erations. He had expected to take
that point easily. leaving himself free
to move against Torreon.
With the federals strongly placed
at Parral, it viii be necessary to pre-
pare for an encounter much nearer
Jiminez and it is anticipated that the
federals will be able to regain the
ground lost ir,he fighting Of two
weeks ago.
The situation places orozco appar
entity on the defensive.

SUSQUEHAkNA, NILE ANO
COLORADO RIVERS
Greater Rainfall in Basin of Local
River Than in That of Mighty
Colorado.

The following will be of great in
terest to the people living along the
famed Susquehanna river.
The Colorado river, which drains
an area of some 100000 square
miles is often called the Nile of
America, and like the Nile is subject
to an annual summer rise which
comes at the time the water is most
needed for irrigation. In Winter Sup
ply Paper 2S9 of the United States
geological survey, an interesting
comparison is made of this great
southwestern river with the Egyp-
tian Nile and with the Susquehanna.
The Nile is similar in type to the
Colorado; the Susquehanna shows
the difference in flow between arid
and humid regions. In the compari-
son a normal year, based on a 10
year record for Colorado and Sus-
Quehanna rivers and such data as
could be found in regard to the Nile,
have been used. The Colorado has
been taken as the standard of COM
parison.
The Nile has 81 times the drain
age area, and the Susquehanna one
eighth the area of the Colorado. The
rainfall in the Nile basin is 3.S times
greater; that in the Susquehanna
basin is AS times greater. The run
off per square mile from the Nile
basin is 1.9 times greater; that from
the Susquehanna basin is 81 times
greater. The discharge of the Nile
is 10.S times greater than that OF
the Colorado; that of the Susque-
hanna is AS times greater.
The annual maximum flow of the
Colorado varies from $4,000 to 150,-
600 second feet and occurs in May
June, or July; for the Nile it is
about $4,000 second feet and oc-
ours about the first of September; /;
for the Susquehanna it is from 150,-
600 to $4,000 second feet, and oc-
ours during March, April or May.
The annual minimum flow of the
Colorado varies from $500 to 5000
second feet and occurs during Janu-
airy or February; that of the Nile is
about 14,500 second feet and occurs
about the end of May; for the Sus-
quehanna it is from 2,200 to 1000
second feet and occurs in September
or October.
The mean flow of the Colorado
for the period 1894 to 1903 was 10,-
700 second feet. The mean flow for
the period 1904 to 1910, however,
was 25, 400 second feet.

10 quickly and sympathetically put
ourselves in another's place.
The speaker was not able to fin
ish his talk on account of the time
being up. An intermission of fifteen
minutes was given and many of the
teachers went to the court house to
witness the spelling contest.
Prof. Warren then gave an in
formal talk on Primary Reading" )"
few points of which are as follows:
1t is a tragedy to find an old man
or old woman who doesn't care for
or appreciate good reading. Do not
teach reading by the "A B c" meth
cd. Everyone learns to read by the
phonic method. A child should know
about 100 words before going into
the primer. II he uses a bit of
energy to recall a word then his
brain is not free to read we'll. Do
not teach diacritical marks in pri-
mary classes. They hinder, not help,
and therefore should not be taught
until about the fourth grade is
reached.

ELECTION CLERK
WRITES WITH MOUTH.

Being minus his two hands did not
prevent Charles Harding from sit
ting as a member of the election
board in the First ward of Blakely
borough, election day Incidentally
he is generally credited with being
the best penman on the board, the
other election officers of the district
cheerfully agreeing to this. Hard
ing writes with the pen gripped be-
tween his teeth.
Mr.. Harding is a man we'll up in
the thirties. When he was a mere
boy, he wandered on the track of the
old gravity, near his home, was run
down by a trip of cars and both of
his hands were so badly mangled
that they had to be amputated above
the wrist. This terrible affhction
never phased the Harding lad. He
went to school with the other boys
and started right in to learn to write
with his mouth.
The handless election officer made
an unusual record, Tuesday. He was
recording clerk on the board and
maybe he did not have to work some
to get down in their order the
names of the more than two hun
dred and eighty voters who cast their
DlllOlS lhdI udy. NJ l6h6I lHdA OuG
hundred and fifty were voted during
the last hour and a half that the
polls were opened or at the rate of
nearly two a minute. Never once
did Harding call for a halt or ask
for assistance.
Earlier in the day when the voting
was not SO heavy, Harding anxious
to keep working not only wrote
down the names, but with his right
arm, minus the hand, passed the
ballot to each voter as he entered
the booth. He managed to do this
by placing the ballots in pile under
his left elbow and then knocking
each ballot off with the right arm.
When Mr.. Harding is not officiat-
ing on election boards he puts in his
time as a solicitor up in the Mid
Valley. One of his hobbies is paint
ing. He is real happy when he gets
the brush between his molars and
occasionally dips it into the paint
can alongside of him. He has quite
reputation as sign painter.

son, Pa; Edward and Elwin, OF

HAWLEY YOUTH SHOT
Playmate Discharges Rifle and D.
Calibre Bullet Enters Leo Bauer's
Neck-Is i'm Fair Condition for
Recovery.

Another shooting accident where
1t was not known the gun was load
ed occurred late Tuesday afternoon
in Hawley which may prove fatal
FOR Leo, 9-yearold son of Peter
Bauer, who was shot by Thomas
keleher, playmate, aged II years.
The accidental shooting occurred
near the Hawley Steam Laundry
about $3.50 Tuesday afternoon.
Young Keleher was standing on one
side of the street and Bauer on the
opposite side. He had a 22-calibre
rifle with him and in a playful glee
1t is alleged called across the street
TO young Bauer, I'm going to shoot
you He pulled the trigger, but
alas! it was too late. The fire arm
was loaded. There was a bullet in
the cartridge and it took effect, en-
tering young Bauer's neck. Kele-
her dropped his rifle and ran to
Bauer's side. Aid was summoned
and DR.. G.. T. Rodman was called.
The bullet entered the neck of the
boy and went through a portion of
the young lads body. Grave hopes
for his recovery were entertained all
day Wednesday, but the latest re-
ports are that it is expected he will
recover.
This is only another incident OF
not knowing the gun was loaded.
Boys, especially of Juvenile years,
ought not to be allowed to carry
rifles, revolyers or other firearms
Many lives pay the toll in the course
of a year because it was not known
the gun was loaded.

NEW METHODIST PAPER.

The General Committee OF For
eign Missions of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in annual session in the
Simpson church in Brooklyn decided
on Tuesday to start a new paper for
the advancement OF the various bene-
volences of the church, including for
eign missions, and $4,000 was ap-
propriated as subsidy for the new
publication.
George E. Eckman, editor of the
New York Christian Advocate, said
that the present church papers are
unable to do justice to this phase of
the church's activities because of
space limitations.
The committee also voted $l,103,-
BAG as the annual appropriation for
foreign missions.
