Deplorable Conditions Reported

Laredo, Tex, November 24.-Deplorable
conditions and a total loss of life ap-
proximating $50 with hundreds wounded
during the recent constitutionalists at
tack on Monterey, were reported here to-
day by 80 American refugees who reached
the border on the first train running
from Monterey in six weeks. Besides the
Americans the train brought 150 of the
better class of Mexicans.
Some of the Americans came from Du-
range and Torreon. They report food
scarce and exorbtant prices asked for
what little there is. There is an UNDER
current of anA-American feeling, but no
American has been molested at either of
the three points from which they came,
the Americans said. Those who were at
Monterey, during the assault said while
much property was destroyed none of 1t
was owned by Americans.
Very few of the refugees appeald to
the representatives of the state depart
ment for financial aid, preferring to
pay their own fares to their homes.

Stories of Adventure

San. Francisco, November 24.-Ameri-
cans fleeing from the perils in Mexico
told stories of adventure when they ar
rived today on the liner Peru from Pacific
coast points. Among the refugees We're
several women and children who had
come from the heart of the trouble. zone.
Mr. and Mrs. A. c. Davenport and their
two children came from the midst of an
Indian uprising in the state of Puebla
and were under fire four hours In an
armored car whose sheet iron sides would
not stop the bullets of the attacking party.
Eleven of the federal soldiers guarding
the armored trains were killed In this
fight, but none of Americans, whose party
included IL women. was hurt. The Indian
uprising, Davenport said, was due largely
to Huerta land confiscation and military
conscription policies among the Indians.

for her participation in the Mexican CEN
tennial in 1910. This time 1t will be through

The four men appointed by Huefta to
carry out the diplomatic commission are
Norberto Dominguez, Rodolfo Noivo,
Manuel Are Guasque and Luis g. Galvan.
Each denies emphatically any further pur-
pose in the official visit to Japan than
to convey the delayed centennial thanks.
These diplomats would say nothing of

Should I speak to him when I see him

% It is ill-bred. He should at least
have asked your permission and re-
ceived consent. before attempting to
smoke.
CD Any man who has so little con-
sideration for a girl as that ought to
be turned down hard.
Dear Mrs. eThompson: Could you
please tell me what will take mildew
out Of pink and white striped ging-
ham? l have tried sour milk and
placed in the sun, but this seems to
have no effect on it.
CONSTANT READER.
4 solution of chloride of lime will
take out the mildew, but it will also
take the color out Of the dress.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % Is there
anything to wash the hair with or put
on the hair to make it darker besides a
hair dye?
CD Is there anything to whiten the
skin after it is brown from being sun
burnt? MILWAUKEE,.
% Sage tea will darken the hair
slightly. Walnut stain is also good for
this and not harmful. Get two ounces
green walnut shells, one-quarter ounce
alum, four ounces pure OIL Put in
bowl ard set in pan of boiling water.
Then press out juice, filter and add any
perfume you prefer.
CD I can recommend either butter
milk or lemon juice for whitening the
skin. The buttermiik is less severe.
Battle the face nightly in it and let it
dry on the skin. Next morning wash

WHEN SHE SAW

CORPORAL JOHNSON OF FORT

WRECK, WAS ENGAGED TO BE
MARRIED.

The Mobile Post OF yesterday con
tanned the following regarding Corpo-
raj Jos. Johnson of the Eighth band.
who was killed Sunday afternoon in
the Mobile and Ohio wreck:
Forgetting for the time the sixteen
other victims of the horrible soldier
train tragedy, lying in rows at the
Roache and Burke undertaking estab-
lishments, pretty Jennie Santimeau, Of
New Orleans, who had come to Mobile
to bid her soldier sweetheart and
lance goodbye on the eve of his de-
parture last night was a pathetic fig
ure, as she clcung to the mangIed and
torn body of Joseph johnson, begging
to join him in death.
Il don't want to live another min
ute" she cried as she kissed him and
pressed his cold, cut and disfigured
face to hers. we were to be married
shortly, and all arrangements had
been made" she tod a Post reporter.
Il was almost counting the minutes
when he would be mine forever. How
could Fate be so cruel to take away
the only bright spot in my life? Oh,
Joey, dear, speak to me. Speak to me
just once more in life and l will soon
meet you in heaven"
Miss Santimeau then became hys
tericaI convulsing with soCs and was
on the verge of a collapse when her
companion begged her to leave the
white cot on which the body of the
soldier f1ance lay, and finally took her
by the arm almost dragging her away
from the death chamber II a waiting
cab. AS the sobbing girI was lead
from the room silence almost appalling
reigned for some minutes, then the
morbid crowd began again to gaze
upon the bodies, some few, perhaps, in
the hope Of discovering someone they

big crowd of his admirers cheered for

fought for the people instead of for
them and pleaded for a seat in the

should not hasten consideration of this

avoid any imitation of tic currency
under the new system. The bill be
amended to require 80 per cent gold
reserve to be held against the new cir

cent as the bill proposes.

"are harmonizing. With . unanimous
