Capture in Week.

"Torreon will be mine in a week.
he exclaimed jubilantly. Never has
a revolutionary army in Mexico had
better men and never have they been
80 thoroughly equipped. Every pre-
paration has been made, and we can't
fail"
1t is no figure of speech to say that
the light of battle burned in the rebel
leaders eyes. They are e~xtraordinar-
lily wide set so that when he looks at
a visitor at close range they seem al
most to cross, and their dark depths
always glowing, seem actually to
flame in moments of excitement. His
subordinates rarely argue with him.
and in his excitable moments never.
1t Is a danger signal-one which
the Scotchman Benton is said to have
failed to heed.

COnStltutlOnallSJ Headquarters, err
mo, Durango, Mex, March 23.-Gen-
eral Villa and his army of 10000 Reb-
els have invested the Federal strong
hold of TOrreon.
No Opposition Met.
The khaki-clad columns occupied
the environs of the city without OPP
position, and the day was spent in
wheeling or dragging field pieces into
position to shell the Federal trenches
which have been dug at every point
where the Federal commander, Gen
eral Refugio Nelasco, expects attack.
His army is estimated to number 5000
men.
South and southwest of the city his
position is regarded as almost impreg-
nable by reason of the mountains
through which only three passes run,
and these have been made almost i'm
passable by Notifications and barbed
wire entanglements. In other direc-
lions the city is reached through the
desert and high hills.
Villas Progress Slow.
Villas recent progress has been
slow because it was necessary to re-
pair the railroad tracks and bridges,
However, the road was open from
Yermo, where the troops have been
modifying, to Mapimi and Bermeiillo,
which are only a few miles north of
Tcrreon, and are virtually suburbs OF
that city.
There have been occasional eX-
changes of shots between outposts, but
nothing that assumed even the dig
nifty of a skirmish.
General Villa is everywhere, for
now that the eve of the battle is at
hand, he is a fury of energy, now
selling the halter of a refractory mule,
now criticizing the lashings of a pack
saddle, or swapping orders at a lesser
leader.
The Mobridge news. [volume] (Mobridge, Walworth Co., S.D.) 190?-1917, 1914-03-27
Food for a Month.

Villa has food for a month, 1000
rounds of cartridges to the man, and
his railroad service, unless cut, can
maintain the water supply indefinitely.
1t is believed here that the federals
are o cut off from the outside
world, even by wire, although the
wireless stations may permit them to
communicate with the national CAPT
tai, 700 miles to the south.
Villa processes to believe that he
Will capture the entire army.
TOrreon, although, founded less than
30 years ago, has a normal population
OF $4,000 persons. 1t has great soap
cotton, flour, and iron manufactures.
and a great smelter receives ores from
the mines. Nine months of the year
the landscape is a picture of desola-
ton as it is now, but the annual rains
bring with them color and bloom. The
important adjacent cities of Gomez.
Palicio, and Lerdo, rise or fall in a.
military and political sense, with
Torreon. Normally there is a large
foreign colony, but most of these resi-
dents have fled, leaving only a few as
c~aretakers of important property.

NEW HAVEN PLANS FURTHUR REVISION
 OF FREIGHT RATES

New York, Oct. 29=FoIlewing it's announced plans for increasing pas senger revenue the New Haven is arranging further to augment operat- ing receipts by sweeping reviison in freight rates, both class and .cornrnod- ity. It has already revamped it's class freight rate structure, and the Inter state Commerce Commission and state commissions will be the near future be notified of the new rates. The rate revision recently put. into effect by Boston & Albany and Boston & Maine is followed. through the two zone plan under which the later roads lines of relatively low traffic density were ac- corded rates 16 2-S per cent higher than the main lines, has been rejected in favor of the single zone plan of the Boston & Albany. Just how much in creased revenue may be realized from the proposed tariffs is problematical, but the New Ravens rates have pre- viously been on a more scientific ba sis. averaging probably higher than those of the Boston & Maine. The latter road estimates that it's revised freight rates will yield. about $1, COG, 600 increased revenue per annum, of which more than half comes from class freight rates.
 Some Of the smaller stockholders of the Calumet & Hecla, are inclined to criticfse the directors for passing the dividend-thus breaking a record of thirty years standing. The argument Is heard that Calumet & Hecla with its large surplus could have safely made small payment if for no other purpose than the, sentimental effect.
 Another of the many American in dustries which have been benefited, temporarily at least, by the war is the carpet trade. The gain here is. all tho more welcome, because up to the outbreak of hostilities business show ed a falling off compared with 1913, and carpet men were pessiuistic. In the past two months the trade has been entirely revarnped, and in all grades of carpets a. heavy demand is evident. Tn many instances these pur- chases are to replace European goods, which cannot be imported while hos tilities are under way.

SUFFERED TWENTY ONE YEARS-FTNALLY
 FOUND RELIEF

Having. suffered for twsnty-one years with a pain in my side. fin- ally have found relief in Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. Infections of morphine were my only relief for short periods of time. I became, so sick that had to undergo a surgical operation in New Orleans, which benefited me for two years. When the same pain came back one day was so sick that I gave up hopes of living. A friend advised me to try your Swamp-Root and [ at once commenced using it. The first bottle did me so much good that I purchased two more bottles. I am now on my second bottle and am feeling like a new woman. I passed a gravel stone as large as 8 big red bean and several small ones have not had the least feeling of pain since taking your Swamp-Root and I feel it my duty to recommend this great medicine to all suffering humanity. Gratefully yours,

SOAP ON HAIR CAUSES DANDRUFF.
 SCALP GETS DRY, HAIR FALLS OUT

fluffy and abundant and possess an incomparable softness and lustreA
 Besides cleansing and beautifying the hair. one application of Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; stimulates the scalp, stopping itching and falling hair. Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilarating and ife-producing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful.
 Men! Ladies! you can surely have lots of charming hair. Get a 25 cent bottle of Know1ton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter and try 1t.
