Ell Paso, Feb. Eight persons kill
ed and nine wounded, are the verified
results of last nights revolt Of the
garrison in Juarez against the Madero
government, according to the latest in
formation from across the Rio Grande.
The wounded are in hospitals and more
are believed to be secreted in private
houses,
The mutineers, who seized Juarez
and in drunken frenzy overturned
the municipal government are today
split into small bands, each recognize
ing an individual leader.
Colonel Estrada, the conmandant Of
the troops at the time of the mutiny,
and Colonel Gallo, chief Of police, i'm
prisoned last night, are now at liberty
Mariana Rodriguez, assistant chief Of
police until the mutiny, is now locked
in the military barracks, charged with
having slain iIisurrecto.
Guards today are stationed to stop
looting and place the malcontents un-
der restraint as far as possible. Col.
Edgar q. Steever, with two troops Of
the Fourth cavalry, patrolled the
American side of the Rio Grande and
declined to permit Americans to cross
to the American shore.
More Trouble.
Further trouble is believed to be
inevitable, as the malcontents, having
declared themselves adherents Of
Emiliano Zapata, who is in revolt
against Madero, assert they'll fight any
force sent to recapture the town.
In line with this purpose. several
railroad bridges south of JuareZ were
destroyed to check the advance Of
troop trains, and scouting parties were
sent out to watch for the approach of
government soldiers. The mutineers
are absolutely in possession of every
public building in Juarez and have
destroyed many public records.
The Juarez jail is standing wide
open with not a prisoner in it. The
mutineers are using the military bar
racks for any prisoners they are hold
fled to Ell Paso. No street cars are
operating between the two cities.
Americans imprisoned.
Fifteen persons, including four Amer
leans, three men and one woman, are
imprisoned in the Casino saloon In
Juarez, and have been without food
since yesterday afternoon, according to
telegram message from one of the
Americans. The refugees are afraid to
venture onto the streets, but are not
believed to be in great danger.
An unconfirmed telephone report
from the manager of the building in
Jaurez states that general orozco is in
command of 500 soldiers en- route from
Chichuahua, and is expected to arrive
in Juarez at any moment.
This information is said to have been
received by the Juarez police.

THE WEATHER

Fair tonight and Friday; colder to-

The Oskaloosa herald., 1912-08-15

we're disappointment to democrats,
who had counted on total In the
city Of at least $4,000. They have
met with heavy loss. At the cor
responding primary four years ago
the democrats of st. Louis had four
candidates for governor and polled
for them a total Of 3S,605 votes. This
year the total vote for five demo
cratic candidates for governor was
only 1888. The democratic vote In
the city compared with that of four
years ago. fell off 7012, or Is per cent.
On -the other hand the st. Louis re
publican vote for governor in 1908
was 21,139. Last week it was 4S,46O,
a gain of 22,32, or more than 100 per
cent. This great republican increase
in ST. Louis came out without special
effort. The heated rivalry for the gov
ernorship was on the democratic side
and was calculated to stir to action
every man who. intends to vote the
democratic ticket this year. The st.
Louis example furnishes a hopeful
sign as the campaign progresses.

SELF MADE MAN.

!. Concerning Judge Preston's running
mate on the republican ticket for the
Office of judges of the supreme court,
the Clermont Enterprise says: Judge
Gaynor, of LeMars. who was nominal
ed at the republican state convention
last week for Judge Of thes upreme
court, spent his boyhood days in
Clermont and will be remembered by
many of the older settlers. His faith
er conducted q meat market in the
basement under Alex McKinley's
store, the family living here until the
children grew up, then moving to
Iowa City SO that they could finish
their education. The Judge Gaynor
of today, when boy, cut slaves and
hoop-poles in the cooper shop for
Gov. William Larrabee. The Gaynor" I,
when here, were one of Clermonts
best families, and the children stu
dious and industrious. The voters
here should give the judge big vote
in November and show that they ap-
preciate the efforts and success of a
former Clermont boy.

WILL THEY STIcK7

The Southern Iowa Edito' al Asso-
citation at it's receit meeting in Bur
lington adopted resolutions that
should be observed by every newspa-
per in the country. But for some in
excusable reason editors are easily
worked, and we doubt not that many
who subscribed to these sentiments
will be led astray by the willy
publicity agent. The resolutions fol-
low:
! The members of this association
are opposed to and condemn the free
advertising graft that is now, and for
several years has been solicited and
expected of the publishers of the
country papers, said free advertising
coming from state schools for which
the people of Iowa pay taxes for the
maintenance and support, irrigation
congresses, dry land farming associa-
tons, expositions, fairs, commercial
clubs, for the purpose of exploiting
any gathering for financial gain, and
especially the town or city where such
ious other sources.
Resolved, That letters by former
residents about their new country in
which they have cast their lot, very
often dictated and in the interest of
some real estate boomer, and not a
matter of news relative to the writer
and his family, together with rea-
sonable summary of his new home,
told in q newsy manner, is graft ad-
vertising and operate against a
Greater Iowa" ..s Il
Resolved, That any advertising for
church, charitable or other organiza.
lions, given for the benefit of finan-
cial gain, should be charged for as
other advertising; that the news
paper publishers. contribute to these
institutions and that their advertis-
ing space Is their merchandise and
should be paid for the same as other
merchandise is paid for by the same
organizations 49,
Resolved, That non-transferable OF
other admission tickets will not be
considered in payment for any men
ton, but issued only for after men
ton to which said ticket admits.

any nature will be inserted in any
part Of any newspaper or members

The WOOL VETO.

In his veto of the wool bill passed
by congress, President Taft says that
the rates submitted are so low in
themselves that If enacted into law
the inevitable result would be ire
trieyable injury to the wool-growing
industry, the enforced idleness of
much of our. wool combing and spin
ming machinery and of thousands of
looms and the consequent throwing
out of employment of thousands of
workmen" He bases his opinion on
the findings of the tariff board.
He adds that he strongly desires to
reduce duties and that 1t appears
from the boards report and from bills
introduced In the House and senate
that a bill may be drawn SO as to be
within the requirements of protection
and still offer reduction of 20 per
cent on most woods and of from 20
per cent to so per cent of cloths. He
appeals, therefore, for a reconsidera-
ton, and declares that a majority of
either house will refuse to pass a bill
of the kind suggested. 49,. -
There has been much, talk of the
playing of politics on both sides of
this question, and there are critics I'M
doubtedly who will not give the presi.
dent credit for sincerity 10. when he
talks of his fears for industry and of
the danger of throwing wage-earners
out Of employment. But he has shown
that he is willing to prove his good
faith by accepting the political conse-
quences of his veto, whatever they
may be, and no honest man in his
place acting under a sense OF grave
responsibility would take the chances
of hurting business and causing wide
spread want and misery.
But the practical question as the
affair now stands is this: II being
conceded on all hands that reduc-
lions are desirable, should not an
agreement OF some sort be reached?
Would II not be wise for majority in
congress to take the President at his
word. revise the schedules slightly
and let the bill become law?

POLITICS VS.. PLENTY.

While papers reek of politics and nom.
inees and such,
And print lot of trash that don't
amount to very much;
While candidates are bowling that
the country's gone to smash,
And plutocrats and trusts and things
have gobbled all the cash.
Excuse me, If I'm out Of line and do
ing any wrong,
I'm feeling kind of grateful and l
want to sing song;
It's fifty.seven verses, too, and every
one repeats,
A merry, swinging Jingle tune about
the good old eats.
Who cares how much it costs to 1--we,
Just now or any time,
With large and juicy roasting ears
two dozen for q dime.
Who cares a rap who's president or
. what the senate does?
With peaches, plums and canteloupes
the finest ever was?
Who cares what punk conventions do
or If the rollers toot,
When one can hide himself behind
such melons, grain and fruit.
While politicians call each other
grafters, crooks and cheats,
Let's MARBLE up happy tune about
the good old eats.
The things that mother used to make
we never can forget,
Let's sing a song to mother, for she
makes them even yet.
The chickens cackle loudly and the
pigs are big and fat.
The corn is higher than a house and
growing more at that.
When spuds and beans and cabbages
and sweet potatoes fine,
And juicy red tomatoes, too, are
smiling on the vine:
Avast such bunk as politics and vic
tories and defeat,
We're out to sing a cheerful tune
about the good old eats.
While every tree and bush and vine
is bending to the ground,
What matters it II porterhouse is
forty cents per pound? o..
With everything that's really good tc
eat, who cares a snap,
If Beverly and Oyster Bay are crowd
ed of the map?
Let's sing song of gratitude that
things are like they are,
And keep the loudest pedal on to
sound It near and far.
Let's hear a tune of gratefulness from
every heart that beats,
A hearty song of thanks to Him from
from whom we get our eats.

souNrIFuI cRop PROSPECTS.

The United States seems to have
taken in Mother Nature as special
partner, and once more the country
promises to be favored with good hsr-
vests. If present calculations are re-
allied we shall garner a 7OO,000,OOO
bushel wheat crop, 100000, 600
bushel corn crop aud a 100000, 900
bushel oats crop. The yield of pota-
toes and hay is also likely to be con-
siderably ahead of last year. The
total value of these five crops is esti-
mated at $500, 100000, or about $780,
100000 ahead of last year. In all pro-
liability the aggregate of all agricul-
tural wealth produced this year will
be about $4,000, 100000, as against
So, 500, 100000, the figures of the De-
partment of Agriculture last year.
What this apnual production of new
wealth means to this country may be
estimated when 1t is remembered
that the capital stock of all the rail-
roads In the United States is placed
at sS.47O,000, 600.

by shooting himself through the head
with a 3S-calibre revolver late yester-s
day and died instantly. He had just
returned from a business trip to Har-
Ian and after putting up his team and
unloading his groceries he walked
down the road in front of the home
of a neighbor, John Graysville, and
shot himself. No motive is known
for his act, but he had been ailing
for several days and It is thought he
became overheated and was tempo

prominent and wealthy citizens of

Des Moines, Aug. 13.-Special:
Scenes such as were created at the
time of the Iroquois theater fire in
Chicago and at the sinking of the Ii
tanic were reproduced in miniature
last night when a sudden storm caus.
ed pandemonium to break loose
among the crowd inside the Ringing
circus tent.
The show was in full swing when
sudden wind shortly after 8 o'clock
gave the first warning of danger to
spectators and actors. In a short
time the wind had become gale and
the big center poles of the tent began
rocking back and forth, sometimes
being lifted several feet from the
ground. This, with the roaring of the
wind and frequent flashes of light
ming, were sufficient to terrify the
thousands gathered under the canvas,
but it was not until three poles sup
porting the tent near the entrance
snapped in two and the actors occu-
plying the rings made dash for safe
ty that the real stampede commenced.
Thinking only of their own welfare,
men trampled women and children
under foot in fight for safety. Men,
women and children, needless Of ev-
erything but desire to get outside
the great tent, fought their way into
wit
noise of the elements and added to the
demoralized state of affairs.
Employees of the show for a time
did all in their power to restore quiet
among the frantic people and the d.
rector of the band ordered the must
were playing to America" They
had played but a few moments, how
ever, until they, too, were seized
with the mania for freedom, and they
ran for safer quarters.
Comical incidents were brought
about in the chaos and turmoil of the
stampede. Daring Beau Brummells,
seated with young women friends on
the top rows of the benches, slid
down the side poles to safety with
the girls on their arm.
Baby, carriages, forgotten In the
mad desire to escape, were demol-
ished when trampled under foot.
When, after the storm had partial
ly subsidized, the announcers gave
forth the news that the show would be
continued, there was but small frac-
ton of the original number of specta-
tors left in the stands. The acrobats,
,trapeze and other aerial artists-in
fact, all of the actors-nervous from
the excitement. put little enthusiasm
in their exhibitions, and there was
an audible sigh of relief from the
stands when the last act had been
presented. Even the clowns had lost
their earlier heartiness and went
through their antics apparently only
from a sense of duty.
There are numerous reports Of per-
sons having been injured In the STAN
pede, but only one of these could be
found by the police. This was Eldon
Allen, whose shoulder was bruised.
/ There were many who sustained
bruises and scratches. but 1t Is
thought no one received any serious
injury. Purse snatchers we're at
work during the excitement.
