POISON is NEW WAR MENACE
Rebels With Stolen Cyanide Threaten
City Water Supply.

Mexico City-Death by poison is
new menace, added by rebellious In
dams operating about the City of OAK
AGA, where residents fear to take a
drink of water. Chemists are making
tests for poison in the city's water
supply. A group of rebels is declared
to have secured 200 pounds of cyanide
from Natividad mining camp, in the
Ixtlan district, declaring they would
poison the drinking water in regions
which are not under their control.
The rebels said they would first use
the cyanide to poison the springs at
San Felipe, which supply water for
the City of Oaxaca. A small band of
rebels was discovered in the neighbor-
hood of the springs and was driven off
by federal troops. The rebel loss is
given at IL killed.
From Tiangistengo, State of Mex
leo, where battle was fought Wed
nesday and Thursday, the federals re-
port they found on the field many
rifles with the breech blown out, testi-
flying to the efficacy of the nitro
plycerin cartridges which government
agents tricked the Zapatistas into
buying.

Old Gainshoroueh Found.

London-A portrait which has hung
for years in back room of house at
Newport in Monmouthshire and whose
value never had been suspected, turns
out to be a Gainsborough's picture of
the Duke of York, which was painted
for George III in 1884. The owner of
the painting on seeing Benjamin
Vests reproduction of picture of
the Duke of York, was struck by the
resemblance of the two faces and this
led to the discovery that the portrait
was the original. Gainsborough's sig
nature is on the right hand corner.

Famine Hurts Strikers.

Cerbere, France-Famine has come
to the aid of the government and the
railroad companies against the rail-
road strikers in Catalonia, Spain.
The situation is rapidly becoming
worse. The people are suffering
great distress in many places owing to
the high prices of food. In some viii
lagos no supplies are obtainable and
the famished people are deferred from
attacking and sacking the stations
only by the presence of strong bodies
of soldiers. The government has or
dered 20, 900 to join their regiments.

Managua, Nicaragua-Americsns in
Managua now know what a sickening
tragedy a Central American revolution
is. They have passed through a
month of turmoil, witnessed a three
day battle, and experienced the hor-
rors of bombardment. They have
seen the people of the city panic
stricken, women and children killed,
have borne the sufferings of hunger in
town beleaguered, and have had mi
raculous escapes from exploding shells
and bullets. 1t was no part of Mena's
plan to take Managua by assault.
General Zeledon, once minister of war
under Zelaya, was responsible for
that when Mena lay helpless on a
sick bed.
The bombardment began on a Mon
day morning, although Zeledon had
been warned that thousands of inno-
cent women and children were in the
city. All day the Smelling continued,
the shells exploding all over the town.
By a strange fatality, women and
children were the victims.
In one house a mother and her four
daughters were wounded. A child
sitting on a doorstep was cut in two.
A woman, with her babe at her
breast, running across the street, was
struck by shell and both were killed.
One hundred and thirty-six womer
and children were killed or wounded.

DAlRYINe DURING FLY TIME
Two Most Needed Things Are sprayer
and Repellent-Cooi Blanket
is Also Beneficial.
CBy NJ. A. covERpEILl


A good sprayer and reliable fly re-
pellent will pay for themselves about
twenty times during the fly season, to
say nothing of the comfort afforded
the animals and the satisfaction you
will derive from milking a quiet COW.
II you don't feel like investing in u
spraying OUTFIT. have your wife make
you long, cool blanket out OF cheese
cloth or some other light material and
spread 1t over the COW while milking.
This, however, is beneficial at milk
ing time only. The one thing that will
prevent the flies from sucking the life
blood and consequently the milk from
the best of your herd. is to spray, and
spray thoroughly while you are at it.
See that the cows have some sort
of good shade. They simply cannot
stand out In the scorching heat all day
and do as well as they would If pro-
tected from the midday sun.
II natural shade is not available, 1t
will take you but an hour or SO to set
some tall posts and make a satisfac-
tory shade out of small brush, old
straw or boards. The COWS must have
shade.
Too many farmers let their COWS
rustic water from foul sloughs or from
tank filled with water warm enough
to wash dishes in.
This is not merely a question Of
comfort and satisfaction TO the cows
Neither Is it necessary simply to ado
to your dairy products.
Sanitation demands that the princi
pal element entering into the compo
sition of milk be strictly pure-fre'
from every vestige of disease or filth

AvIAToRs FRANKS UPSET BOAT
Excited Crowd Pushes TO One Side;
Launch Turns Over.

Launch Turns Over
Chicago-The tipping over and res
cue of eight spectators in a launch,
the disabling of two hydro aeroplanes
far out in the lake and the "pranks"
of an aviator dressed as a woman
brought Chicago's aviation meet to a
close.
Great crowds near Grant Park, on
the lakefront, were startled to observe
what appeared to be woman diving
in a biplane almost straight down
from an altitude of 5000 feet, and
then with her arms off the levers and
her skirts fluttering about her face,
flying as low as 10 feet over the heads
of the spectators. To make the scene
more startling, the woman" flew out
of the course and SKINNED up and
down Michigan avenue, sending auto
mobiles in all directions to seek
safety.
The woman" was Lincoln Beachy,
who disguised himself as mile. Clar-
Use Lavateur," for the purpose of
creating new aerial sensation for
Chicago. So excited were eight spec
tators in a launch in the harbor that
they all gathered at one side of the
craft and it tipped over. They were
rescued by tug.

PEACE CONGRESS IN TUMULT
6roaching of Italian Venture Starts
Uproar in Geneva.


Geneva, Switzerand-Great tumult
and display of temper marked Thurs
days session of the international
Peace congress.
Questions connected with Morocco
and Tripoli occupied the attention of
the congress and the criticism by DR..
Cobalt, president of the international
Peace bureau, of Germany's attitude
in Morocco brought the German dele
gates to their feet in heated protest.
DIR. Gobat was obliged to make a
semi-apology.
Representatives of the French
Christian Society of Peace said they
thought some of the blame might be
attached tc France for intervening in
Morocco. This caused another uproar
and the subject finally was referred to
a committee.
When the Italian adventure in Tri-
poll was preached in the discussion,
such an uproar arose that the speaker
was obliged to suspend his remarks.

lican spirit apparently is not appreci-
ated by the classes from which the
soldiers are recruited.
The object of the recent Chinese
loan is ostensibly for paying off and
discharging this menacing army,
which is large, according to the lists
submitted by the generals. The ma
tional assembly made an investigation
and discovered that the generals, like
the soldiers. were not free from the
methods prevalent under the -Manchus
but the government argues that it II
cheaper to pay the demands of thu
military leaders than to fight.
The Chinese appear to be wei
pleased with the success of the new
loan negotiations, the newspaper
having stirred up an agitation agains

PEACE ADVOCATES IN RIOT.
Agitator Target of French Socialists
When He Opposes Radicals

called by Gustave Herve, the anti-mil-

depart"-~ "f the conscripts to join the
army.
Many shots were fired and chairs
were used as weapons. No one was
killed but several persons were
wounded. 1t was Herve's first APP
pearance in public since his release
from prison last July. Herve is ed
itor of the Guerre Socisle, and was
sentenced to four years imprisonment
in 1910 for melting murder, but was
pardoned by President Fallieres.

CURB ON FLYERS SOUGHT.
Aviators' League Proposed to Stop
Reckless Aerial Flights.

Ashley was the twentieth British
airman to lose his life. A similar
movement has begun in the United
States to forbid unnecessary flying in
volving dangerous risks. The move
ment has the support of the leading
aviation authorities.
Ashley, who met death while exc
cutting too sharp turn, wore no
safety helmet. He received thereby
injuries to his head. He was the heir
of a millionaire and descendant of
Cromwell.
Many of the spectators of the acct
dent are of the opinion that Ashley
sacrificed his life in a brave attempt
to avoid colliding with the crowd.
