Forty Dead in Chicago.
Chicago. June 29.-The fifth day
of severe heat brought the death roll
OF this hot spell here to above forty
tonight. Ten deaths today were re-
ported by the police and there were
hundreds OF prostrations, taxing the
capacity of public and private hos
pitfalls. The maximum temperature
here today was 80 and the mercury
stood near that point all day. For
more than 120 hours the thermome-
ters have registered around that
figure and neither night nor day has
there been more than suspicion OF
lake breezes to temper the suffer

county assessor is $10,061,56 ex'
elusive Of public service corporations.
The work of the county commission
ers who have just completed their
labors as board of equalization will
not materially alter these figures, as
the county assessor stated that they
raised and lowered property in ap-
proXlmately equal proportions, there
fore the general result will be the
same. The assessment of public serv-
ice corporations of the county have
not been received by the assessor
last year the public service corpora
tions of the county were assessed
at S2.167,24S, but it will run consid
erably over that figure this year, as
the county has new pipe line ia
reckon with.
The state board of equalization will
act on these figures as soon as pos
sible and the county excise board will
meet on the 7th of July to make the
levies for running the affairs of the
county
Last year the state equalization
board accepted the rendition Of the
county assessor and did not effect
raise. The taxpayers of the county
are hoping that the same conditions
will prevail this year.

How to Get Rid of Ants.

With a crowbar or similar tool prod
a hole into the tunnel of the ant nest
then by pushing the top end Of the
crowbar around in a circle ream out
the nest so that a crater, funnel
shaped in form, Is made. Leave the
nest undisturbed for day or two
until the ants have tunnelled out into
the open again, then saturate the
nest thoroughly with a solution OF
potassium cyanide at the rate of
ounce of potassium cyanide to 1 gal
lon of water.
Another method is to make an open
ing to a depth of three or four inches
in the tunnel Of the nest and in this
opening place a piece of potassium
cyanide about the size of an orlt-
nary cube Of loaf sugar. Cover the
opening. The emanation of fumes
from the potassium cyanide will de-
stroy any ordinary sized colony of
ants.
Caution. Potassium cyanide is very
poisonous and should be used with
great care, and should be kept where
no animals can have access to it

MEXICO OPPOSES
THIS APPOINTMENT.
HUERTA GOVERNMENT DOES NOT
FAVOR TEXAS MAN AS Gus
TOMS COLLECTOR.

Washington, June 29.-The Huerta
government of Mexico has protested
to the United States government
against the possible appointment by
President Wilson of Frank Rabb OF
Brownsville, Texas, as collector Of
customs on the lower Rio Grande.
The basis of this unusual procedure
of a foreign government protesting
against the possible appointment OF
an American citizen by this govern
ment to a strictly domestic office
has not been learned.
Secretary Bryan, when asked to-
night in regard to the matter, said
that he had been advised that an
objection has been filed by the Mex
lean government but he had not seen
the document and does not know on
what the objection is based. He said
he could not comment on the matter
and declined to say what notice, If
any, the American government would
take of the matter
Frank Rabb is the leader of the
progressive democratic forces in the
lower Rio Grande, and is being press
ed by this element of the democratic
party in Texas for collector of Gus
toms in that customs district, the
headquarters of which will be at La
redo, Texas. He is backed by Sen
ator Sheppard, but Senator Culberson
has so lar declined to support him.
The opposition to Rabb in the Rio
Grande country comes in the main
from the men who opposed President
Wilson in the primaries and who are
classed as reactionaries by the Will
son democrats.
How President Huerta of Mexico
gets into the clash between the clans
| of Texas democrats over the collec
torship appointment is not clear here
The break between Gen. Huerta and
Gen. Felix Diaz appears to have be-
come very wide in the last few
weeks.
Mr.. Rabb's sympathies in the Mex
ican situation are not known here
but it is known that Marshall Hicks
OF San Antonio, one of Mr.. Rabb's
principal supporters, was the legal
advisor of the DiazReyes coalition
that started the fight on Madert
while Huerta was still Madero's lead
ing general.
Mr. Rabb was a neighbor of Sec
retary of State Bryan while the latter
lived on his farm in the Brownsville
country. The leader of the opposition
to Mr.. Rabb is said to be Judge
James B. Wells of Brownsville, fol
years a powerful factor on the lower
Rio Grande.

congressman named in the charges of
Martin Mulhall in an alleged disclos-

Speaker Clark made a statement

they have been brought in without
specific charges, declare that they
will not be satisfied with the senate
lobby committees investigation alone,
but will insist on an elect committee
Of the house to silt the charges.

When the president made the first
declaration of Numerous and in

as made by Mulhall would be brought
out, but added he was in favor of in

President Wilson told his callers
that the accusation in the Mulhall
statement had been called to his at
