corded for Month.

Every Line Of Activity.
BODYBUILDING FEATURE

Permits for buildings that will cost
all the way from 5000 to $4,000 were is
sued in great numbers by the city re-
corder during the past month. Thirty
two permits were issued and the total
cost Of all the structures is $32,510.
Many Of the buildings for which per
mits were taken out are already under
construction, despite the fact that fall
has now set in and the rainy season is
close at hand. Most Of the buildings
will be used as homes and several will
be occupied by mercantile people and
manufacturers
The voget Lumber Co. made applica
tion for sixteen permits during the past
"a days, most Of which are for cottages
in this city. Home building, it is said,
is on the boom now, Notwithstanding
that several hundred fine residences
have just been completed, and many new
tracts of land on the outskirts of the
city are being dotted with newly made
dwellings.

Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 15.-General
Pancho Villa, at the head of 2500 reb-
els, captured Juarez early today. Villa
stormed the city at 2 a. m. The fed
erals, taken by surprise, fought fierce
Iy in the streets, but were quickly rout-
ed. Villa authorized the United Press
to announce that American lives and
property would be protected.
Among the killed was an American
named Seggerson, who was automobil-
ing through Juarez when the battle
broke out.
A rumor was current here early to-
day that General Villa planned to ex-
ecute his prisoners.
Golden opportunity.
Villa, who had previously been active
about Chihuahua City, captured the
federal troop train between there and
Juapez Friday morning. The oportuni-
ty it afforded for an unexpected de-
scent evidently was too tempting for
him to resist
It was taken for granted here that he
left one Of his lieutenants in charge Of
the siege Of Chihuahua City, but this
could not be learned definitely, as the
wires were cut.
The rest were killed, wounded OF
captured.
How American Fell.
The American, Seggerson, killed in
the fight, was sitting in his automobile
in the principal street in Jparez when
the rebels appeared. AS nearly as could
be learned, he feared he was going tc
be attacked, and fired on him. They
replied with volley, Kidding the au'
tomobile and killing Seggerson.
The federals used one cannon in re-
sisting the rebels attack, but Villa
fearing the damage artillery would dc
to the American side Of the border
made his men rely entirely on theii
small arms.
The federals under General Castro
were taken completely by surprise.
The eraclle Of shots as the rebel'
rushed their sentries was the first news
they had that there was an enemy with
in many miles. Their commander tried
to rally them as they ran from theil
quarters and succeeded in getting on'
cannon into action. They were unpre
pared and outnumbered, however, an'
though the fight ragged for two hour
in the streets, there was not for mo
ment the least doubt concerning th'
outcome

advance is noted in improvement work

are being rejuvenated and the general
desire among residents is to improve
homes.
Many of the old moss-coycred houses
are being treated to a new coat of
shingles and the weather-beaten boards
on the sides are being replaced with
new lumber and liberal amount Of
paint, while the yards and parkings are
being prepared and placed in shape

trees are giant white oaks measur-

Saving Missouri Hogs.

The College of Agriculture at Col
umbia has just announced that it is
now prepared to supply hog cholera
serum in any amount TO the farmers
of Missouri at the cost of produc.
ton. The last Legislature made an
appropriation for additions to the
serum plant and these additions will
make it possible for them to meet
any ordinary demand for hog cholera
serum. The college is now sending
out approximately 1000 doses of
serum per day. The enlarged facili-
ties for manufacture will make 1t
possible to increase this output to
meet any ordinary demand. The
serum is sold at the cost of produc-
ton which averages about zoe for
each animal. Orders for hog cholers
serum should be sent to the College
Of Agriculture, Veterinary Depart
ment, Columbia, $40.

In an investigation of the shipping
trusts says bis committee has In

least thirty agreements or under
standings among lines OF coasting
steamers intended to control com
petition. These lines, 1t should be
remembered, are completely pro-
tected from foreign competition by
the navigation laws OF the United
States. Theirs Is the most highly
protected the country ever had. They
are expecting to use the Panama
Canal and are asking that they may
use it without paying tolls. Their
reason for asking this favor is that
they will protect the people from the
exactious of the grasping railroads
by competing with them, and there
is very considerable body of legis.
lators who think they should have
what they ask. At this distance
from salt water 1t looks n good deal

to pay their share Of canal mainten-
