on THE DEFENSE
The SITUATION IN OLD MEXICO
HAS NOT IMPROVED VERY
MUCH YET.
REBEL VICTORIES IN NORTH
Getting o. Railroad from Tampico to
San Luis Potosi Promises to Leave
Engines Without Fuel and Tie Up
Traffic.

Mexico City.-What may become for
the government a more awkward sit
nation than that caused last week by
rebel In the north was the
outting Of the railroad from Tampico
70 San Luis Potosi. Over this route
al the fuel oil used by locomotives is
moved and now it will be necessary to
ship from Tampico to Monterey.
The Tampico-Monterey line has
been temporarily repaired. II this Is
cut again and the rebels prevent re-
pairs between Tampico and San Luis
Potost 1t will be necessary to use the
vest coast port as q makeship. The
oil on hand IL sufficient for only two
Or three days. Any condition that
would prevent further supply would
result In the practical suspension of
transportation.
The last week has shown little, II
any, Improvement in the situation for
the government. Conscriptions have
continued, more troops have been mo
bilixed In the north and in the state
Of Morelos, but with q few exceptions
they have been unable to act except
on the defensive.
The Capata forces are active end do
not seem to hesitate to attack The
zacatec9s garrison was reinforced by
Pascuaf Orozco, Jr, with 200 men.
Tosreon has been isolated. Gen. Tel
No, In command Of the operations
around Monterey, has made only ques-
tionable gains. The government does
not admit reverses In Sonora or u
Reynosa.

CHURCH IS TARGET
SUFFRAGETTEs PLACE BOMB IN
ST. PAUL's CATHEDRAL
IN LONDON.
vERGER FINDS THE EXPLOSIVE
Removes Internal Machine After Hear
Ing Ticking Sound Near Altar
Newspaper Office and Drug House
Also Menaced by Explosives.

London, May 9.-Swift reprisals
came from the militant s%uffragists
following the defeat of the bill giving
women the ballot Tuesday in the
house Of commons.
The larson squad and the bomb
squad" were quickly at work. Police
precaution had been greatly increased
In anticipation Of retaliation, but the
women plotters were too adroit.
Manifestations Of s~uffragette ter
rorism Wednesday were:
Planting Of ar internal machine in
st. Paul's cathedral, probably the
most cherished building in Great Bri-
tain.
Bomb placed in the entrance to q
newspaper ofice in Fleet street.
Bomb on the steps Of a wholesale
drug house.
Burning OF a pavilion in the cricket
fleld at Bishops Park. Fulham. West
End Of London.
Firing Of a vacant house at Finch
ley. north Of London.
Firing Of timber-yard at Lambeth.
A plot to wreck st. Paul's cathedral
by . bomb IL attributed to the mill
tant suffragettes. The verger who
conducts sightoseers through the mas
sive ediflce was making his rounds
when he heard a ticking sound near
the high altar.
He found hidden a heavy parcel
done up in brown paper. He immedi-
ately placed 1t In water and handed
1t over to the police, who found a suf-
fragette newspaper wrapped up with
the bomb.
Shortly after the discovery at the
cathedral the police found a similar
bomb-like package on the steps OF a
newspaper office in Fleet street, and a
tin canister believed to contain ex-
was picked up on the steps
Of q Wholesale drug establishment
near st. Paul's.
The defeat Of the woman suffrage
bill In the house of commons is gen.
orally attributed by the newspapers
10 the women themselves-the mill
ones, whose ~lawbreaking tactics
alienated the sympathies OF suffrage
The Times says that the embarrass-
ment that the militants have inflicted
On the cause lay like . dead weight
the whole course Of the debate
IN the bill in the commons.

fleet their wishes. 1t may be assumed,

~Quiescence or their disapproval by
submitting your action to the judg-
ment of the voters by means Of the

ances Of the presidents friendly con-
Germ in the subject with which you
are dealing and my appreciation OF

EDITOR POINTS TO MARSHALL COUNTY
FAIR AS OBJECT LESSON FOR STATE

of note that the business men Of Mar
shalltown have the right idea as to the
part they ought to play II the county
fair. Great buildings have been erected
and in these the leading industries Of
the city have an exhibit. including the
public schools. The various attractions
here presented aroused intense inter-
est and vindicated the wisdom of the
enterprising business men who con-
tributed so largely to successful feat
ure of great fair.
The amusement features were Of a
high order and the races we're unusual
ly exciting. Great crowds gathered
each day and the people themselves
furnished happy. cheerful exhibit Of
Iowa's best product.
The great success Of the Marshall
county fair is to be credited to the
splendid spirit shown by the people Of
that county. President Nichols and
Secretary Clark had the support Of
everybody in both city and county.
They could always bank on the faith
fulness and fidelity of their constit-
uents and with such unanimity of
sentiment success always comes. The
superintendent of the various de-
partments are hustlers and take pride
In doing their work well. If there was
disposition on the part of exhibitors
TO lag, these hustlers were right after
them and thus there was not a weak
place in the entire exhibit. Marshall
county owns its own fair grounds and
the farmers and townspeople alike
have a mutual interest in the success
Of the enterprise. The Marshall coun-
ty idea affords an object lesson for
every county in Iowa"
