WILLOW GROVE.

Fodder saving is now causing the
farmers in this district to hustle The
crop is a good one, and the fact that if
IS rlpening rapidly is causing a rush to
save 1t. On many farms blowing for
wheat is in order. 0
Hog cholera has made its appearance
IN this vicinity, and the farmers are
much concerned for their porkers. Last
week Charles Kemp lost two fine hogs
from the disease. William Cox is said
to have lost twelve, while Ben Crook
lost one last week which weighed he
tween 3C0 and AGO pounds. IT'S safe to
say that those hogs which are NOT af-
Iected when cold weather arrives will
be butchered at once.

YES, it's true that the colored men Of

as the Dover Index says in its comments
upon the action of the Republican State

Central Committee; but, we ask the Do

like to have a truthful answer. How long

the United States has a problem to meet

own prosperity, but that of the world
for as sure as the day follows night, the
United States, if the present situation is
met as It should be met, will become one
OF the greatest world powers of the next
decade. Our products of the land. the
factories and the mines, will make this
country of vital importance to the worlds |
prosperity. We stand TODAY upon the
border of great boom in prices for all |
our cerials. Wheat, corn, oats, potatoes.
live stock, our steel industries and our
canned products will form great part of
the commerce to be affected. while the
sugar interests of the United States. Cuba
and our foreign possessions, will have to

lect on these is just beginning to be felt.

rough RIDERS
COL. MELVIN GRIGSBY OF SIOUX
FALLS WOULD RAISE THREE
REGIMENTS.

Washington, April 22.-Col. Mel
vim Grigsby, of Sioux Falls, of rough
rider fame, has rendered his serv-
ices to President Wilson to be used
in the event of war between the
United States and Mexico. He offers
to raise a brigade of three full regi-
ments of western cowboys.
Col. Grigsby's tender was present
ed to the president at the White
House this morning, Immediately
following the cabinet meeting, by
Representative Charles II. Burke, of
South Dakota. The tender was as
follows:
To His Excellency, the President
of the United States-Sir: Should
the present difficulty with Mexico re-
suit in the necessity for a call for
volunteers, a brigade of three full
regiments of western cowboys, or
| ganized under regulations similar to
those which provided the three cow
boy regiments for the Spanish war,
| would undoubtedly prove to be the
most serviceable men that could be
secured on short notice for immed-
late service. / tender my services
in this connection. l have the honor
to be your obedient servant.
Melvin Grigsby.
When the act of congress provid-
ing for volunteers for the Spanish
was was pending in the spring of
1898 Col. Grigsby came to Washing
ton and secured an amendment to
the bill which provided for the three
regiments of cowboys to be enlisted
from the nation at large, the Off
GERS to be appointed by the presi-
dent. Largely On account of Col.
Grgsby's service in this connection
President Mckinley appointed him
to command one of the regiments.
His territory embraced the two Da-
kotas, Nebraska and Montana. He
secured the muster of twelve troops
in seventeen days.
Col. Grigsby now feels that il war
shall be declared with Mexico he
could organize a full brigade of three
regiments inside of thirty days.

GEDDES TRAGEDY
NOW BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN
A CASE OF MURDER AND
SUICIDE.

Geddes, April 22.-Public opinion
in Geddes apparently has swung
around to the position that the kill
ing of William III. Menzie and Miss
Blanche Signal, who were found in
the burned ruins of a lumber yard
office Thursday morning, was a muir
der and suicide.
1t is now the current belief that
in preparing the annual statement
for the stockholders meeting on Sat
urday Miss Signal refused to make
a record on the books to cover up a
possible irregularity and was killed
by MenZie in a fit of anger. His sub
sequent actions would have been an
effort to clear his name of all sus
picion.
The fact that the company was
known to be in financial difficulties
and that Menzie and Miss Signal
were in full possession of all facts
regarding it's condition lends color to
this belief.
The fact that the mans hands
were only loosely wired together and
that the blow on his head might have
been caused by a falling beam gives
| credence to the suicide theory.
The coroner's jury called by Sher-
if T. w. Rifle convened and exam
ined witnesses at the fire and the
men who discovered the bodies. One
of the first men called was George
Raymond, who testified that he
heard sounds like a muffied report
of a revolver after he had reached
the scene OF the fire.
The testimony of five witnesses,
who were first on the scene after the
alarm of fire was given. They testi-
fed to the following facts: The
fire was discovered at 1850 p. m.
the only office door in the building
was locked; the front window was
intact; the gates at the front Of the
yard were closed; the fire was frs
seen coming from the sash room
back of the office, and from the lum

EASY To TAKE
NONE OF MENICO'S COAST CIT
les COULD OFFER REAL
RESISTANCE.

Washington, April %. - 1t is
known definitely that there are nei-
ther forts nor artillery which would
of any Mexican seaport cities by the
American battleships.
Where Notifications do exist as at
Vera Cruz, they are of an obsolete
type and with few guns, while the
forces to handle them haze been de-
pleted to such an extent in order to
reinforce the federal army in the
north, that nothing more than a
show of resistance could be made
against a force of marines landing
under cover of fire from the battle
ships.
At the entrance of Vera Cruz har-
Dor the old time Fort San Juan del
Ulna blocks the way, but only in a
picturesque sense, as the ramparts
are of stone and mortar and would
give way as the result of a few well
directed shots from the heavy guns
OF the fleet. Before the revolutions
of the last few years Vera Cruz was
fairly well equipped with artillery,
out most of it has been removed for
use in military operations against
,he rebels.
Tampico, which lies away from
the sea on a river which has been
dredged out to admit vessels, is said
to be without Notifications, although
supplied with some fairly heavy ar
tillery, which would not be sufficient
to withstand the fire of the United
States vessels.
On the west coast of Mexico
Acapulco and Mazatlan are supplied
with artillery sections, but the forti-
fications that have been erected are
| mainly on the inland side OF both
towns when the federal forces have
been menaced by the rebels, and
would not be in a position to be OF
much value against a landing party

Peg o MY HEART
MADISON THEATERGOERS TIC
BE FAVORED WITH INTER-
ESTING PLAY THIS EVE
MING.

A rare treat to thetergoers of
Madison is the engagement at the
opera house this evening of Oliver
Morosco's Peg o. My Heart, by j.
Hartley Manners, in which Laurette
Taylor is rounding out her second
year of triumphant success at the
Cort Theater, New York. This play
has all the lovable qualities that
might, On the surface, make it seem
old fashioned, since the appeal is to
the simple emotion, but the proof of
the dramatic pudding is the eating,
and this comedy of youth is estab-
fishing a record at the Cort theater,
New York, for continuous success,
having played there steadily for over
a year. The leading role will be en-
acted by Florence Martin, the young
actress, who made such a hit recent
ly in New York in Little Boy Blue.
The story of Peg O. My Heart has
to do with the adventures of a young
Irish girl, daughter of an improvid-
ent father and an aristocratic moth
err, upon whom her relatives have
turned their disapproval because of
her choice. Brought up in poverty
the girl is Suuuellg TdHSpldnteu III
to an atmosphere of afluence, when,
through her uncle's will, which
makes her an heiress, she is sudden
ly introduced into an aristocratic
luXury-loying English family, for so
cial training and guidance. As a
natural circumstance she encounters
sharp contrasts of character, tenn,
| permanent and manner which lead to
humorous situations.
She is not really welcome, because
| of the fact that this family has sud
| denly lost its financial standing, anC
| through a clause in her uncle's will il
paid a certain sun every month 70,
taking her as their guest. Poor lit
tie Peg, a natural child of nature, /
curbed by the social restrictions tina
bind her on every side. Tutors ant
books seem a sad substitute for rea
life and she rebels against them. Ye
she does her best, and finally repay
good for evil by rescuing her cous
in from an unfortunate love affair
just as she is on the verge of elop
ing with a married man.
