Chicago-A masher nudged Miss

North Park avenue. and then smiled
at her the other morning on an ele
waited train, just as she happened to
glance at the picture of AID Wolgas,
on the sport page. During the next
second the masher received three
swift punches in the face, blow on
the head with an umbrella and an
uppercut on the chin from Miss
Hight.
The suddenness OF the attack rout-
ed him. and he fed from the train.
Miss Hight followed and chased him
from the platform. He dropped his
hat and she smashed 1t with her UNI

Not word was spoken by Miss
Hight or the masher until the man
disappeared down the Austin station
steps. Then she turned to the
amazed conductor and said:

Crop Outlook Good.

Observation-Disclosures rains have
fallen throughout this section and will
do much good to the crops, which were
badly in need of moisture, cane and
corn particularly. A big yield is now
anticipated. Rice fields have been
flooded with water syphoned from the
river. Fully $500 acres have been
planted in cotton in the New River
section, and the prospects for a good
crop is very promising.

TO BUILD ROCK FOR TUNNEL
Porous Rock Blocks Work at New
York and Will Be Replaced by
Concrete.

New York.-One of the most remark
able engineering feats ever attempted
may soon be carried out here. The en-
gineers Of tunnel under the East riv
er, to accommodate a huge gas main
will first create body of rock hun.
dred feet below the river bed and then
tunnel through it.
Never before, It is said, has it been
found necessary to create such an ar
tificial obstruction for the sole purpose
OF subsequently boring through it, and
the experiment will be watched with
much interest.
The reason for this novel undertak.
ing is found in the chalky, porous rock
which the engineers have encounter
ed in driving the tunnel. So far as
can be ascertained, the headings are
now less than seventy-five feet apart
and they would have been Joined some
time ago but for the treacherous rock
The Bronx heading was 500 feet
out under the river when the fault
was encountered. 1t baffled the en-
gineers and they determined to work
from the Astoria shore in the hope of
finding better conditions. The same
sort of rock was struck when the AS
toria heading was within 200 feet of
the Bronx heading. Water poured in,
and the workmen say that even small
fish came in through the seams
1t is understood that II no other way
is found to stop the inflow of water
the engineers propose bulkheading
both tunnels some distance back from
the present headings and filling the
aperture ahead OF the bulkheads with
neers will cut through the bed of
concrete.

MADRID'S RECEPTION COOL
TO PRESIDENT POINCARE
France That Defended Ferrer
Admired, but France Con-
ouering Morocco Hated.

Madrid, oct. IA heavy rain marred
to a large extent to-day the festivities
in connection with President Poincares
visit. The French President crossed
the Spanish border last night at Irun
and arrived here at II a. m. to-day.
The aspect Of the city is that Of an
armed camp. Fearing an attempt
against the life of the King or the
French President. extraordinary pre-
cautions have been taken by the police.
After being escorted TO the royal pal
ace. where President and Nine. Poin-
care will stay, they appeared at the
balcony and witnessed a brilliant mill
tarv parade. A dinner was given later
in their honor at the palace. the speech
es exchanged being very cordial.
The attitude of the public is the OBJ
iect of no little concern to the govern
ment. The press has not refrained from
noting that whenever the King and
oueen appear with President Poincare
and his wife The public greets the SOW
er,eipns with great enthusiasm, while
ignoring the nations guests.
The Socialists held mass meeting to-
night to protest against the war IN
Morocco. which. they contend, is ruin
ing and exhausting Spain in favor OF
the few officials who profit by 1t. The
Republican papers say that they ad-
r,ire the France that helped and de-
Tended Ferrer. but that they hate the
France which is conquering Morocco
Some extremists have gone so far as &c
