MEXICAN REBELS
DECLINING issue
Retreating Into Other States to
Avoid Battle.

Mexico City, Dec. 16.-Leaving
behind the ruins of burned villages
and the wrecked properties Of ha-
cienda owners. the rebels appear to
be moving out of the state of Mexi-
co into the states of Puebla and
Morelos, particularly the latter. In
line with their tactics they are de-
clining the issue in General Blan-
quet's campaign in the state Of
Mexico, even before it is fairly un-
der way.
This doubtful success of General
Banquet in Kidding the state Of
Mexico of the insurrectos. even il
this is accomplished, is recognized
at the capital as merely changing
the field of operations. A series of
small fights has characterized the
past week in which the federals for
the most part have been victorious,
because the rebels invariably retir-
ed.
Ihelr campaign or destruction is
unabated, however, while the gov
ernment troops are continuing the
war of determination and the bodies
of rebels and those supposed to be in
sympathy with them are hanging
from the trees.
From the middle states. Michoa-
can, Guanajuato. Jalisco, Zacatecas
and Durango, government officials
are sending optimistic reports, but
raiding and fighting continue.
Cheche Campos, one Of the most
prominent rebel readers in Durango
and Zacatecas. who was reported as
having been killed, is alive. He is
said to have proceeded as far south
as Jalisco.

LITTLE GIRL SHOT
IN THE SHOULDER
Five Year Old Daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Mcfarland in Shoot
ing Accident.

Z The five year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Mcfarland, who re-
side south of this city, met with an
accident Sunday night in which she
was struck in the shoulder by the
bullet from 20 calibre rifle. One
of the older members of the family
had been out shooting and upon his
return. supposing the gun to be un-
loaded, placed it within reach of
two small children. the little girl
who was hurt and her brother. The
little boy was handling the gun and
in some manner it exploded. The
bullet struck the little girl just be.
low the shoulder and entered her
chest. A physician from this city
was called, but could not locate the
ball. The physician anticipates the
recovery of the patient, as it, is
thought the ball did not enter the
lung. Another search for the bull
let will be made later.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
ISSUES WARNING
Sends Mayors and County Attorneys
Reminders Of Their Duties
on Gambling.

Attorney General Cosson, who has
won an enviable reputation as an
nffcer who does his duty fearlessly,
has sent to mayors and county at
atorneys throughout Iowa reminder
OF their duties in enforcing the law
in the communities over which they
have jurisdiction The attorney
general understands that at Christ
mas time the temptation to deal in
raffles, games Of chance, ETC., is
present with unusual attractiveness,
hence the reminder. He says in his
letter to these officials:
Ny attention has recently been
directed to various slot machines
and candy rallies. The complaint is
made that SO great has become this
evil Of candy raffles that merchant
who refuses to handle these gamb-
ling schemes can not Compete In
business with those who do. This
evil has multiplied until diamond

see no reason for prosecuting the
man who operates the shell game
and the roulette and at the same
time permit merchants to operate
gambling houses in the form of
raffles, slot machines and other
gambling schemes and by petty
form Of gambling illegally collect
from boys and girls thousands of
dollars, for which no return is made,
i therefore request that all forms of
gambling be suppressed and that if
offenders continue Illegal opera
tions, that the county attorney cause
them to be indicted by the grand
jury and that all the paraphernaliaI
be condemned, as provided by law.

his London residence, Dorchester
house, shortly after noon yesterday
from pulmonary cedema. The end
was quiet and peaceful, Mrs. Reid
and their daughter. Mrs John HUI

The ambassador had been uncon-
scious since 8 o'clock in the morn
ing and at intervals during the
previous twenty-four hours he had
been slightly delirious as result Of
the drugs administered to induce
sleep.

the king, who was called in the last
week when Mr.. Reid's illness be-
came acute, and his regular ply
sician, DR.. William Hale White, is

cause OF death:
"a fortnight ago the American
ambassador had slight bronchial
attack similar to others from which
he had suffered at considerable in
tervals. On Wednesday last asthma
supervened. and the asthmatic par
oxysm became very severe, leading
to extreme exhaustion.
'1t was hoped that he might ral-
ly as no pneumonia symptoms had
appeared With difficulty the par
oxysms of asthma were got under
control, but Sunday morning the ex-
haustion became extreme and Sbe
died from pulmonary cedema at
1910 p. M
When death came word was sent
to the king and queen at Bucking-
ham palace, the queen mother Alex
andra at Sandringham. and the Of
ficials of the court.
Almost Immediately the king sent
his eqnery, Sir Harry Tegge, to ex-
press the condolences of himself and
the queen. During the afternoon
messages conveying the warmest
sympathies were received from the
queen mother. Alexandra, and other
members of the royal family, court
officials, members Of the government
and of the various embassies and
legations called at the embassy.
A wireless message was also sent
to Ogden Reid, son of the ambassa-
dor, who left New York Saturday In
the hope OF reaching his fathers
bedside before death.
The body will be sent home and
probably viii be inferred in Sleepy

Selling Well.

About seventy-fiye copies of Rev.
Arthur Metcalf's new historical
novel, "The Green Devil" have so
far been sold by the Webster City
book stores since the first invoice
was placed on sale and the dealers
have been out of the work for three
or four days. There have been
many calls for it since then which
could not be supplied. More books
were shipped from Chicago a week
ago Saturday but through some
cause have been delayed in reaching
here. However, they are expected
every day.
