Rebel. Attack Passenger Trains.

Laredo, Tex, Feb. 13.-The where
abouts of the north bound passenger
train from Mexico City, which left here
Tuesday night, still is unreported and
there is apprehension for the safety OF
it's passengers. An unsuccessful attack
was made on the Unbound Mexican
National lines passenger train which
left here Tuesday.
Passengers from Saltillo said today
that one freight train was entirely de-
stroyed by fire and that the fate OF
another freight was in doubt since It
was rumored 1t was attacked.
The south bound passenger tram
which left Laredo Tuesday night at y
o'clock proceeded in safety until about
SIS miles south Of this city at Ell Salado
where it was attacked by . band OF
from fifty to hundred rebels. AS the
train was entering the station the en-
sineer was fred upon. Realizing the
danger he reversed the lever and
backed full speed toward Saltillo pur-
sued by the rebels on horseback. Tne
speed of the mounted band was not
sufficient to overtake the train. Pas
sengers were endangered by rebel gun
fire.
Aboard the train were fifty WEIGH
men enroute to xenaga, a point beyond
Mexico City, to take employment Win

Loot Cars; Burn Rolling Stock.
Today's passenger list from Mexico
City included Bishop Hendrix, OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, OF
Kansas City. He was passenger on
the south bound train which was att
tackled by rebels, and returned north.
Bishop Hendrix said that the where
abouts Of the north bound from Mexico
City was not known at the time OF the
attack at Ell Salado.
The bishop said the rebels appeared
to bear a special grudge~ against the
road and Immediately after robbing the
cars burned the rolling stock and un-
desirable freight.

FRIDAY THIRTEEN
NINETEEN THIRTEEN

NEW YORK, June 13.-If you get
up this morning with a peculiar fore
boding that something unpleasant was
going to happen; if you had the bad
luck to get out of bed this morning of
all mornings with your left foot first;
if you intended popping the question
to the lady of your dreams today-be-
ware This is bum day to start any
thing you want to have luck with, for
it's Friday the thirteenth. That isn't
such rarity in itself, for there have
been numerous other Fridays the thin
teenth in the past few years. This
Friday the thirteenth of today, how
ever, is peculiarly potent for evil in
its makeup.
Today is the only day of the present
year when the thirteenth of the month
will fall on Friday. 1t will be at least
100 years before you will get the COM

would make the connection so vital to
the interests of the citizens of this
state
A railroad union between the north
ern and southern sections of the state
would be not only a commercial ben
eft, but it would do much to unite
the two sections into real state 10y
atty. The desire so often manifested
versity by scattering it's activities
would then cease. Boise and Twin
Falls boys and girls could come here
directly from their homes without
feeling that they were going to some
foreign state. On the other hand the
Legislators from north Idaho would
feel as much interest in the erection
of creditable state house at Boise as
do the legislators from the southern
part of the state. There would be no
further nonsensical talk about dividing
the Gem state. A railroad is great
pacifcator.
This much is true about the visit
of Louis Hill to Boise, no matter what
may be the reports 1t will give him |
a chance to see for himself the re- |
sources of this most favored state. II !
he puts a Hill road into eastern Ore
gon and southern Idaho, he will not
fail to see the UNNECESSARILY greater
advantage of road over the divide
and up into northern Idaho.
There is prosperity and growth in
store for this state when the Hill in
terests begin to take notice of it.

Women Protest.

ROME, June 13.-The national coun-
Gil of women today made formal pro-
test to the government for alleged dis
elimination against Signora Lancenot
Croce in a recent government com.
petition for artistic designs for the new
mint. The work submitted by Signora
Croce won for her the appointment of
head engraver of the mint. Later she
was notified that she could not have
the place, as the position, entailing
grave responsibility and discipline,
was declared to be too much for a
woman to fill The national council
of women is confident that the min
lister of the treasury can be induced
to revoke the latest order and give
Signora Croce the position. If this is
done Signora Croce will have one of
the highest official positions under the
Italian government occupied by

HILLS VISIT TO BOISE.

The Spokane papers said that Louis
Hills visit to Boise a short time ago
meant greater railroad facilities for
eastern and southern Oregon, and
western Idaho, What Idaho people
hope it means is greater facilities for
northern and southern Idaho-a road
that will permit the people of north
Idaho to visit their capital city with
out taking in Washington and Oregon
on the way.
If ever the empire builder had pro-
ject worthy of his attention it is in
this: A connecting link between two
parts of a great state. Here is
north Idaho with it's minerals, lum-
Der and agricultural products, and on
the other side there is southern Ida

to condition himself for the next sea-
son, but he couldn't get away with it.
He might swear he didn't receive a
cent of money for his job but few
i would believe him. And what yelp
there would be from the stone quar-
ries, section gangs and blacksmith
shops where the football players were
conditioning themselves, if they had
to do their training at those jobs with
out pay.
Now the point is not to change the
rules to permit return of the condi-
lions which existed in the notorious
old days of ringers" when the college
could "buy" a championship by literal
ly hiring athletes. College authori-
ties are urged to look the matter
squarely in the face and allow one lee
way. Certain it is that there should
be rules to prevent real professionals
from being Unlisted on college teams,
but it is just as certainly a bad thing
to prevent bona fide amateur baseball
players from playing through the sum-
mer months on bush league or semi
professional teams. The rule could
permit students playing on any teams
not directly under the national base
ball commission, or it could go further
and state what leagues or clubs the
students could not play on and retain
their amateur standing. The sugges-
ton is not wholly original, so it isn't
boosting our own game to say that it
is a mighty good one. Take it for that
it's worth, you college solons and anna
teur athletic union officials.

the visit of the seven-year locusts, but
in view of certain up-heavels during
the past year it brings a new sting.
With voices from the sidelines urging
that the secret be spilled, we refer to
the closing of the regular college year
