1t struck him that Norma, poor

pondered miserably as to the reason
Stella might have for suddenly evad-

Prevention Is Best.

O~verheating, chilling, dampness,
crowding and keeping in close, impure
air all tend to weaken chicks, and
cause a whitish diarrhoea, which
some people confuse with the infec-

This is a mistaken notion, and medi-
cines need not be resorted to in order
to cure such troubles. Prevention is

position that the present plan of secur-

eminent is the only one that will be

John M. Parker, Of New Orleans, took
the position that the question of The
levees was only a part of the problem
presented, and said that in his opinion

reservoirs and other general plans, in
volving the ultimate expenditure of many
millions of dollars, should be adopted al

He ADMITS HIS IDENTITY

Raiding-North Sonora Min
ing Camps Sufferers.

Tucson, Ariz.-After a chase through
Northern Sonora by Mexican federal
troops, after his raid on mining camps
and lines of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, Gen. Emilia P. Campo, the rebel
leader, and his staff crossed the American
line south of Tucson and now are p1is-
oners of the United States. After posi-
tive Identification by DR.. Ruffo, a friend,
Campo was captured by United States
Marshal c. A. Overlook, Sheriff Nelson
and a deputy, without resistance. He
had sent two men into Tucson to pro-
cure automobiles, but they were arrest
ed and, after questioning, told OF the
location of the remainder of their party
of ten.
The rebel leader declared he was sur
prised by the opposition he met at the
hands of the federals under Gen. Chrome,
who gave him a %seven-hour battle at
Altar. Hard pushed by the pursuing fed
erals, he decided to seek safety in the
United States, with the faint hope that
he might be able to get ammunition at
Casas Grandes or ella Bend, west of
Tucson.
Stories that Campo got out with $780,
900 as the result of his campaign of
loot through Northern Sonora are denied
by the United States authorities, who
assert that the rebel chief had but $500
when arrested. His companions had
about 5000 each.
