Woman's Desire for Liberation From
Wrecked Train Accompanied by
Terrible Threat.

A fast limited" was bowling over
the sands of Arizona. Just how 1t
happened was frequently explained,
and never understood, but as the train
sped along the side of parched river
it suddenly left the rails, rolled down
the bank and landed in three feet OF
muddy water at the bottom of the
river bed.
Within the cars there was some
natural confusion, Men, women and
lunch boxes were thrown into a heap,
and not an umbrella or a parcel was
left in the racks
One by one the occupants of the
rear car extricated themselves from
the mass and sought for means of es-
cape, while stanching various wounds
caused by broken glass. Every exit
was damned tight. Just then, in the
midst of the doubt and confusion, rose
a woman's voice in emphatic demand:
Let me out! Let me out! If you
don't let me out, I'll break window"

PEACE IN MEXICO NOW
SEEMS TO BE ASSURED
General Villa Agrees to Support Presi-
dent Chosen at Convention-Car-
rama Alone Barred.

Washington, Oct 21.--General Villa
has informed the United States gov
eminent that unless something unfore-
seen occurs hostilities IN Mexico are
at an end and that he will support any
provisional government set up by the
national convention at Aguas Cali
entes.
Villa said he would not accept Car
rama as provisional president but
was satisfied he would not be chosen.
The general understanding on all
sides has been that CarranZa wishes to
be free to enter the presidential race
in the succeeding election.
Official reports to the state depart
ment describe the visit last Saturday
of General Villa to the convention at
Aguas Calientes. General Villa said he
came to pledge his support. He was
received with storms of applause. La
ter he embraced General Obregon.
AS the two generals greeted each
other effusively the convention went
wild with joy. General Villa wrote his
name on the Mexican flag, as did all
the other delegates, and kissed the
banner, pledging again amid storm
of applause to abide by the decisions
of the convention.
1t is believed that Gen. Antonio Viii
lareal will be selected.
Details of the decree of the Carran-
"a government vacating all of the min
ing concessions granted and titles is

ment.

FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect.

No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a
trained nurse.
Speaking of coffee. a nurse in Pa.
writes: 81 used to drink strong cof-
fee myself, and suffered greatly from
headaches and indigestion.
while on a visit to my brothers I
had good chance to try Postum, for
they drank it altogether in place of
coffee. After using Postum two weeks
I found I was much benefited and
finally my headaches disappeared and
also the indigestion.
Naturally have since used Postum
among my patients. and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has
been left IF md Postum used.
81 observe - curious fact about
Postum whom used by mothers. It
greatly helps the flow Of milk in cases
where COTE is Inclined to dry 1t
up, and where tea causes nervousness.
81 find trouble IN getting servants
to make Postum properly. But when
1t is prepared according to directions

cream. 1t is certainly a delicious bev-
erage."

Cottages.

Cottage accommodation" in the
sense in which Mr.. Runchiman's bill
deals with it, is a phase that would
hardly be understood in the United
States. Professors Greenough and
Kittredge of Harvard, in their book
on the ways of English words, point
out that cottage" in the strict sense
of laborer's dwelling, has never been
adopted into popular American use,
because America has never really had
the thing. The word over there has
always had literary and sentimental
associations, and finally has come to
be used for the most magnificent sum-
mer residences. This has gone much
farther than the use of the word in
England to mean a villa. In Amer
lea a ''cottager" definitely signifies
person who is above staying at a
boarding house or hotel and has his
own summer home.-London Chr0ni-

South Omaha Schools ProUide for
Making Children into Good Citizens

South Omaha, with possibly the most
complex foreign population west OF Chi
cago, has done much to solve the prob
lem by the gradual upbuilding of a pub
lie school system that is second to none
in the west. While not possessed OF nearly
as large or multplex a system as Omaha,
South Omaha has nevertheless built up
school system that takes thousands OF
toreign-born children and children of
foreign-born parents annually TO mould
them into American men and women with
American ideals and American moral and
business principles
The school budget has naturally in
creased by leaps and bounds in South
Omaha. where in 1907 the annual school
budget amounted 10 $4,000, while in the
year of 1913 tho budget had increased to
$220,OO0 Last year the school enrolment
amounted to 1894 children. This number
does not embrace 1900 children who at
tend the six parochlal schools of the city.
The total school census taken a year
ago shows that the school attendance
between the ages of and 2 years
amounted to 1889 pupils in all. The cost
of education per pupil for the last year
was 1875; or SAG. 46 based on daily attend
ance. This expenditure includes money
