Neighbor Suspected.
Waukegan, H., Dec. ga jealous
woman is blamed for the poison pen
letters sent to husbands in Waukegan
and other North Shore towns warn
ing them against alleged misbehaviOl
on the part of their wives.
Careful comparison of two of the
letters shows Enthusiastically feminine
writing, and a handwriting that could
only be the work of a cultured and re,
lent quality-a linen stock evidently
by high-class manufacturer, but with
no water mark or distributors check
The two letters compared are the
one received by James F. Minogue and
the one sent to the husband of a
young Waukegan society matron
whose name the postal authorities are
concealing. In each letter the paper
is the same and the writing identical,
although the Minogue letter was writ
ten a week ago and the other letter
about Thanksgiving. A jealous neigh
Dor is suspected.
One Victim Is Ill.
The Minogue letter is now on its
way to the officers of the central
postal inspection bureau in Washing
ton. There it will be catalogued and
an effort made to see if the paper,
writing, or manner of sending check
up in any way with the thousands of
other cases reported to the depart
ment. Then the letter, with the addi-
tional information gained by the in
spection of the files, will be return
ed to General James E. Stuart, in
spector in charge of the Chicago divi-
sion, to begin active work on the case
Mrs. Minogue. who lives with her
husband on a farm two miles south
west of Waukegan, is in state of
physical collapse as a result of the
threat of violence contained IN the let
ter sent to her.
"The letter promised that some
thing terrible would happen to me ii
did not leave at once" said Mrs
Minogue. ''The farm here is isolated
and ! can hardly sleep through fear
the writer of the letter will carry out
the threat"

HUERTA'S men
Receive Cash
Expected Trouble at Ojinaga
Fails to Occur.
OROzCO TO STAND BY HUERTA

General Denies Any Intention to Join
in New ReVofution-VoIunteer Feel
Bitter Toward Gen Mercado-Break
Expected-Offcers Refused to Speak
to Him.
Preside, Tex, Dec. 22-The pay
ment of the long overdue wages of
the federal and volunteer soldiers at
Ojinaga has begun and none of the
expected trouble over the distribution
of the funds occurred. 1t will require
several days in which to pay off the
entire army. 1t is understood that
the preference is being given the vol
unteers in the distribution OF the
money and that they waived their
right to payment in full, agreeing up
on a reasonable pro ratio.
Alberto Terraza, who brought the
money from Farfa to Ojinaga, brought
about the agreement on the part of
the volunteers to take part pay.
General Orozco denies that he has
any intention of joining the new rev.
olution which it is alleged Felix Diaz
and Emilio Vasquez Gomez are at
tempting to launch.
Will Stand by Huerta.
"I want to say" said General OrOz-
CO, that I am for the Huerta govern
ment, first, last and all the time, and
will be fighting for it because I be-
lieVe it to be the only government
capable of settling the problems that
the republic of Mexico now has to
face. I will stand by it until have
died upon the field of battle or until
it is firmly established throughout the
nation and peace has been restored
to my unhappy country"
Despite the quiet which reigns at
Ojinaga since the payment of the
troops began there is still a feeling
that there will be a break between
the federals and volunteers, owing to
the general dissatisfaction which with
General Mercado is regarded by the
volunteers.
Volunteers Dislike Mercado.
Several Americans who have been
across the river declare that the vol
unteer officers refuse not only to take
orders from General Mercado, but re-
fuse to speak to him. One man saw
General Salazar enter headquarters
and shake hands with other officers
but turn his back to his general with
out even saluting. Reports are in cir
culation that Mercado has been order
ed to Mexico City because of his quit
ting Chihuahua in face of the enemy
but these are not credited, as Mer,
cado's wife is a sister of President
Huerta's wife.
1t is known that the volunteer Of
f1cers, Orozco, Salazar, Rojas and
Caraveo have wired Huerta that they
will no longer take orders from Mer.
cado and that at least Orozco and Sal.
azar have been given Independent or
ders for operation when they leave
Ojinaga.

N. c. tverSOIe Killed
By Wife in Perry County.

killed by his wife at Typo, Perry

cause. Nj. G. Eversole was a
former Sheriff of Perry county,
and few years ago fearing for
his life moved to Montgomery
county and made his home near
Jacksonville where he resided for
some time, but about one year ago
thinking the danger had passed,

One of the biggest musical pro-
auctions before the public this
season, and which will play an en-
gagement at The Tabb on Septem-
Der 25, is the Soul Kiss" Few
musical attractions in recent years
have made a better impression
upon theatre-goers. If an attrac-
ton can remain in any one city
any particular Ter 9Th of time, it
must be conceded that it is sort
of an attraction theatre goers and
the public approve of. This can
be said in favor of the "Soal
Kiss" which has a record of three
hundred performances in New
York, at the New York Theatre.

and the host of visitors marched
in a body to the church. Rev. j.
H. MacNeill delivered a short and
appropriate address of welcome,
and prayer was offered by Rev. HI.

Judge j. Nj. Benton of "Benton's

pied by the hosts and visitors,
while the women and children
were seated in the balcony. Fol
lowing the communion service the
guests were served with delight

Behind Movement.

Mr.. Henry r. Prewitt has re-
turned from Washington, where
he went last week in an effort to
induce the Government to begin
work on the Maysville pike from
Mt. Sterling to Sharpsburg right

benefit to Mt. Sterling, other than
another railroad and the members

Sunday School Rally Day.

The Sunday School of the Chris
tian Church will observe Rally
Day, Sunday, September %. This
is to be a gathering together of
the forces of the school preparatory,
to settling down to a winters
work. The Sunday School fiscal
year begins October 1. Most of
the folks who have been away for
the summer have returned; those
who have been staying away from
Sunday School during the summer
should be ready to enter school
again, and there are many people
in our city who are either new
corners or who are not members
of any Sunday School. To all the
above mentioned we give a hearty
invitation to attend our Rally Day
exercises next Sunday morning.
Get busy, everybody. Our aim
is 900 in attendance on Rally Day.
Every member of the school be
sure to be on hand and bring a
new member, but be careful not
to solicit for membership those
attending other Sunday Schools.
Special music, classes for all
ages, and good time for every
body. The hour is $3.50 a. m.
Everybody welcome.

NEED A THIRD MAN.
Two Night Men Needed, Believe
Chief and Mayor.

At the council meeting Tuesday
night Chief of Police Porter asked
for another night Misunderstanding
the cleanup program now under way
is too strenuous for himself and
Night Officer Hatcher. Chief Porter
stated that since the vice crusade
started he had had but six nights at
home, besides doing day duty.
Mayor Johnson favors an extra
man-believing the cleanup of lew1
characters and the pushing along of
buns should continue until Ashland
is given wide berth by this gentry.
He thinks the city is no worse than
heretofore but the police are merely
seeing more. He thinks two police
were plenty so long as they saw
nothing.
Councilman Sherman has been act
ing as special night man temporar-
lily but was advised by the mayor
that he could not do so longer under
the law without resigning as council
man. He promptly agreed to resign
and take the job of night officer.
Several of the councilmen discour-
aged the idea and the matter of ap-
pointing an extra night man was de-
ferred.
