Lot of Illinois Corn-Fed Steers Sell at $1o.40-highest Price Ever
 Paid for Beef on Foot.

Chicago, Aug 1.-The highest price ever paid for cattle in the United States was given at the stockyards when beef on the hoof brought $10. 40 hundred pounds. The nearest ap- proach to this price was made last week, when $10.25 was paid.
 The record figure went to a feeder of Tuscola, H., who disposed of his entire lot of corn-fed cattle at S10.4O. Two other price records also were set for cattle. Distillery steers brought $10 hundred and range steers s9

Robert Stops Pursuit, Saying No Bear Is Wanted at the White
 House, Anyway.

Benton, Mont, Aug. 1.-The final disposition of the cub bear presented to Robert Taft, son of the president, by Blackfoot chief on his arrival in
 An old mother bear hearing the walls of the cub, made her way into the Taft camp on Red Eagle mountain and gnawed through the rope that tethered the cub to tree. Then she retreated up the mountainside growl- ing defiance at the campers. Guides started in pursuit, but young Robert shouted: Its probably her cub and there is no room in the White House for bear, anyway. Let her go."

 Three Victims Were Children.

Auburn, N. Y, Aug. 14-FTve peo, pie were killed, four instantly, Iii an explosion of fireworks and high ex. plosives in the home of Raphael c. Cheche at 19 Coon street
 The victims were Cosimo Carmel engo, a major Of fireworks, whose home is in New Jersey; Mrs. Mary Sheche and three children, Emma, Il; Armando g. and Carmela, :.
 The fireworks were being prepared by Carmelengo for a big celebration planned to be given by the St. Francis dAssisi church in observance of the Feast of the Assumption on August 15.
 Carmelengo came here last night. He brought with him four boxes of a high explosive to be used in making the fireworks. Although it was said that this was gunpowder, the police and the fire departments, both of which worked on the case, believe that it was dynamite.
 The house, a two-story structure, was completely annihilated. After the explosion it was a mass of splinters and stone. The bodies were horribly mangled.
 Several of them were blown 10 pieces. The youngest child suffered fractured skull and died at the city hospital to which she had been taken with all possible speed.

The Prescott daily news., 1912-08-14

Mexico City, Aug. IA concerted demand by the people of Mexico City for the utter annihilation of the bands of rebels operating south of this city under Gen. Zapata followed the blood fest and most destructive outbreak Of the revolutionists in months. For tho second time train was wrecked, sol diers and passengers shot down and the cars set on fire. Fiftysix persons are known to have been killed in this attack.
 At Ixtapa a band of Zapatistas on their way to Toluca slaughtered 200 citizens and federal soldiers and left the dead and dying in the streets The town was garrisoned by about 100 fed erals.
 Mexicans Are Indignant.
 The greatest indignation is ex- pressed that the Zapatistas should have been given a chance to repeat their railroad massacre of a month ago, when more than 100 persons were slain. The attack was similar to the first After the train was deraied in canyon murderous fire was poured down from the mountain side on the soldiers and passengers. Thirtysix soldiers were killed and relief trains brought in the bodies of 20 passengers.
 Women were mistreated, jewels be- ing jerked from their ears and fingers chopped from the hands of both men and women that valuable rings might be taken. H. l.. Straus, newspaper man and consular agent of Uruguay, and a Mexican newspaper man were among those killed
 Peace Talk Is Futile. It is pointed out that talk of treat ing with Zapata for peace is hopeless. Any terms that might be agreed upon would be ignored by his followers, who would appoint a new leader and continue their slaughter.
 All the territory between Mexico City and Vera Cruz is menaced by the Zapatistac. The small bands of fed erals sent against them succeed in driving them into the hills for short time, then the forces again are | brought together for a more extensive campaign.
 Orozco is in Juarez and great pres sure is being brought to bear to force | President Madero to start an exten- sive campaign against Zapata.

James Nelson was with me at wes,
Point, and he is an honest man. His
company is beyond question the best
equipped and most efficient In its line
and would bid % per cent under the
price that will be paid for the aoue-
duct extension. But Nelson cannot
hight the ring because of the work he
has on hand for private interests in
this city. If he should antagonize the
ring the city authorities would so
hamper him that every private con-
tract which he has would be forfeited
on time clauses.
The forged letter purports to have
been addressed by me to Nelson. and
1t makes corrupt proposition. This
proposition is precisely similar to one
that was made by my predecessor to a
certain contractor and is expressed in
the same language. dug up the evil
dence in that matter and laid it before
Lawrence in the form of a sort of re-
port at his request about three weeks
ago. Undoubtedly it was used as the
basis of this forgery, but how could
prove it?
"Mlnot and Lawrence were as grave
as two mummies in their interview
with me. They treated the letter as
perfectly genuine and received my de-
malls and strong language without NOV
ing muscle of their faces. This let

the mayor, and my removal would fol

Lost and Found,

"Almost too strange to be true" said
woman who had lost and found
again a piece of jewelry few days
ago. On arriving at her husbands Of
fee in the Wall street district she dis
covered that an amethyst was missing
from an ornament which she wore.
The prongs which held it had evident
ly worn away, and the stone was given
up for lost. She went on shopping
tour and when leaving the Seventy
second street subway station on her
way home dropped her muff. She
stopped to pick 1t up and close to one
of the iron pillars saw her lost anne
thyst. Il was so glad to find it." she
said, "but people don't believe the sto-
ry. Even my husband made queer
face when told it."-New York Trib-

Even solid rod of iron may be
made to aoat, provided it is small
enough. Take fine needle, wipe it
with an oily rag, but do not leave any
visible trace Of oil on 1t, and then lay
1t gently on the surface Of water in a
basin. 1t will float and continue to
float for some little time. The cause
of this Is the fact that quantity Of
air adheres to the needle sufficient to
buoy 1t up. Moreover as the cohe-
sion Between the particles Of water is
considerable and as water has no at
traction for perfectly dry piece Of
steel, the cohesion of the water is
greater than the weight Of the metal,
and so the latter is supported.
In the same way insects are enabled
to walk upon the water. The hairs on
the end Of their feet inclose an amount
Of air that enables them to float AS
each foot is put down It forms a sort
Of cuplike depression in the water, and
the liquid thus displaced is sufficient to
doat the insect-Harper's Weekly.
