To Protect Prairie Chickens.

Representative Enger, of Winnie
shiek County, has introduced bill
which should pass the legislature and
become law. The bill was introduced
at the request Of the DEBORAH Rod and
Gun Club and makes it unlawful to
shoot grouse or prairie chickens in
Iowa for five years. If properly pro-
tected, prairie chickens ought to be-
come plentiful in Iowa again, and they
are very valuable as destroyers OF
insects, besides their edible qualities.
United action at this time will save
them for Iowa.

that he has recovered from his

A decided shake-up in the high

morning. Never in the history of
the Cresco schools has there been
so much sickness among the mem
bers of the corps and pupils. In
nearly all the rooms from one
half to one-third of the children
are out on account of measles or
some other illness. 1t can readily
be seen that this makes it very diff
ficult to keep the schools up to
their usual higi standard and &C
complish the work that is ordnari-
ly done. While weather such as
we had last year is rather severe
from the educational standpoint it
is much preferred over the kind
of weather We hav. been ex-
periencing this year.
In response to the popular de-
mand it has been decided to re-

Peace May Now Prevail and Gen.

~ ...'. -. "

'
Madero has been forced out of thu
presidency. He was arrested at tn
nationA palace by General Banquet
General Victoriano Huerta, com
mander Of the federal troops. was pro
n claimed provisional president.
About the time Madero was seized
by Banquet his brother, Gustavo Ma
/ dero, the former minister of finance
4 was arrested by General Huerta, who
was dining with him in public res
xaurant.
All members of the cabinet were
promptly placed under arrest. with
the exception of Ernesto Madero, the
uncle of the president, who held the
portfolio of finance. He was apprised
ment and escaped.
Notwithstanding the fact that some
definite action was expected the
coup d'etat at the palace caused a
sensation and the exact status of at.
fairs could not be ascertained for sew
eral hours.
The direct movement against Ma
dero was the result of plot which
had been brewing since Monday and
which possibly existed with Banquet
FOR much greater length of time.
Banquet Unwilling to Fight.
From the first it had been known
that General Banquet was unwilling
TO fight. His men were of the same
mind. He held complete command
over them and it was not doubted
ture, which they did at the national
palace.
The forces, numbering 1000 men,
which arrived, were sent Immediately
TO the palace, Ostensib]y to relieve
I the reserves there. The reserves
were sent into the field.
An agreement between Generals
banquet and Huerta was reached
Monday night, but the first intimation
that BlanQuet's men had Of the new
role they were to play was shortly be-
fore the successful stroke was made.
Blanquet drew his men up in order
and delivered a stirring speech.
"This inhuman battle must end" he
said. THE time has come when some
drastic means must be taken to stop
q conflict in which father is killing
son and brother is fighting against
brother: when noncombatants are
sharing the fate of war-and all this
because of the caprice of one man."
\ Madero Taken Prisoner.
Banquet then issued orders for the
arrest of the president and assigned
detachment to that duty. Madero
was soon prisoner in his own rooms.
One reason for the attitude of Gen.
eral Banquet from the beginning was
the presence of his son in the ranks
4Df Diaz.
4 When the arrest of the prisoner
,and his ministers became known
crowds gathered in the streets
through which they paraded shouting
'vivas" for Huerta and Diaz. A con.
ference was held between the repre-
Bentatives of these two generals and
m agreement was reached whereby
the appointment of General Huerta
to the provisional presidency was
proclaimed.
Prior to this, however, Huerta's at
tempt to communicate with Diaz pre-
cipitated one of the sharpest engage
ments of the day.
4 The fire from the rebel rifles and
nachine guns was long sustained. It
was by no means certain at that time
that the coup which had been carried
out meant the end of hostilities.
