Held Up by the
Ice Blockade.

Nantucket, Mass, Feb. AFTER
having been laid up at Woods Hole
since Thursday, because of damage
sustained in an unsuccessful attempt
to run the ice blockade on that day,
the steamer Nantucket succeeded in
making her way into the harbor here,
today only to be icebound on this end
of the route.
The steamer had a heavy cargo of
express and freight which had been
piling up at Woods Hole since early
in the week and as soon as this could
be unloaded she headed for the main
land again, for the rapidly falling
temperature gave indications that the
passage way she had made through
the ice would soon be filed and the
entrance to the harbor more choked
with ice than ever The steamer sue
ceeded in forcing her way outside
Nantucket bar with some difficulty,
but there became caught in the ice
fields and it was only the turning tide
that released her from her dangerous
position. Realizing that to continue
was useless. the Nantucket was turned
about and. tonight, she is imprisoned
in the ice in the inner harbor and if
the present weather continues is due
for a long stay
The revenue cutter Acushnet. yes
terday, brought over the delayed mail
and passengers, but she was unable
to break through the ice s. at Nam
tucket harbor and was obliged to
make landing on the eastern end of

MaderO Plans
Drastic Remedy.

Mexico City, Feb. 4--Without blare
of trumpets and without official proela-
nation, the federal government pro-
poses to employ the drastic methods of
Diaz in restoring peace. Immediate
application of this new policy will be
the nations only apprisal of it. This
is the substance of a statement by a
cabinet officer, today.
Swift punishment is to be the por
tion of all agitators who can be reach
ed. whether their negotiations be by
gun or pencil.
A few newspaper writer's will be de-
ported, IL is said, under that provision
of the constitution which provides for
the expulsion of undesirables. Public
parades and street orators are to be
prohibited in cases where the purpose
is in any manner connected with the
political affairs.
This prescription is in accordance
with the governments diagnosis of the
revolutionary disease which has brok-
en- out in so many parts of the coun-
try. Official figures places the losses
in death both north and south since
Jan. 26 as follows;
t'ederals, 34 rebels from 222 to 272,
and non-combatants, 20.
Unofficial reports apparently well
founded add to these figures Is fed
eral dead and Is rebel dead
Just how many men are in arms
against the central government Is
probably known by no one, certainly
not by the President and his cabinet.
One rebellion is recognized. that OF
Emillano Zapata, covering all of The
state of Ifidalgo, Puebla, Tlazcala-
Guerrero and Mexico and the federal
district itself.

Nanking Feb. 4.-The simultaneous
announcement that Yuan Shi Kai has
received permission from the throne to
organize a republic in the North in
conjunction with the Southern govern
ment, the arrival at Marking of WI
Ting Fang, the Republican minister of
justice, and Tang Shao vi, the repre-
sentative OF the imperial premier, and
the extension of the armistiee for one
week, indicate the approaching end of
the present stage of indecision and fu-
ture amieable negotiations looking to
organization acceptable to both sides.
The last stage of the peace negotia-
ton involves the question of the capi-
tai which the Republicans assert must
inevitably be Nanking, because the
South would never consent to Pekin.
The main question now, as the reyo-
lutionary leaders view the situation, is
the preservation of peace and the
prompt restoration of order. which
they say is already assured.

citation, and instead of that but
few have showed any interest in
the matter. Every business
man of any kind should be right
up on the front row of seats
boosting it along, but the rep
resentation Of business firms in
the town is very limited at these
meetings. 4
As stated before we can not
hope to put on a big show this
fall but we can get the fair
started We can show the
people of the outside that we are
not afraid TO try it. Much
smaller towns than Lubbock
maintain county fair from
one year to another. and have
been successfully carrying it on
for several years. and we dare
say that they would be unwilling
to give it up now
Lubbock is not considered in
the column of drags, but she
will lose her reputation for pro-
gressiveness if we fail to de-
liver the goods in this organiza-
ton.
Let the business men of the
town turn out to the meeting
Saturday and get things started
off. II is something that is
badly needed, and the time is at
hand for us to do something if
anything is to be done this
year.
ARE you going 10 cnOke THIS
fair to death with indifference?
Are YOU going to lend it the sup
port that deserves?
Saturday viii likely tell the
story. You must either get
busy or let it be said of Lub-
book that she fell down on one
of the best propositions for the
development OF the country and
the upbuilding of the town that
has ever been presented them.
What are you going to do?
IL is up to YOU personally.

For some weeks the matter of
County Fair and Livestock ex-
hibIt has been under discussion
in Lubbock. II seems a hard
matter however TO get the
proper interest aroused in the
question. The first meeting was
held and temporary organization
went into with the announce
ment that another meeting
would be held the following Sat
urday to perfect the organiza-
ton. A very small number of
those who should be interested
in the organization of a County
Fair were present, and it was
decided to postpone the meeting
unit! next Saturday. when
another attempt will be made to
organize and elect a permanent
organization.
This IS a question of vital i'm
portance. 1t is too important to
be treated in the way it has been
the past two meetings. The
business men should take an in
terest in it. 1t means much to
them. 1t means much to the
town and the Lubbock trade
territory. 1t means develop
ment by an increase in the
farming, stock raising and poul-
try industries. lt means much
more than the people Of Lub-
book seem to appreciate.
If you are interested in this
scheme as you should be. every
business house in town should
close their doors and turn out
enmass to help in the organiza-
ton of this association.
We know the Lubbock people
are not opposed to the move.
we know them too well to be-
lieve that they will pull back on
a proposition that means some
thing for the town and country,
but they are going to kill this
move if they don't watch out
with utter neglect and indiffer-
ence.
