She will lay 120 eggs which in ten

II half of these are males there are

120 eggs and will hatch and mature, as
before, $500 healthy flies (18O0 males,
1900 females). Now if this progress
sion is kept up until fall when frost
puts his quietus on the fly business,
there will have been produced lin one

Talk about big business! This makes
Rockefeller and Carnegie look like 80
cents.
Along in July, Mrs. Housewife, you
will be giving Johnnie and Mary one
cent dozen for killing flies. Now if
Johnnie and Mary were able to kill the
entire progeny from this one female
fly at one cent dozen, they would re-
ceive s53, 1888, 48O, 900, 009 for their work.
That would make Messrs. Carnegie
and Rockefeller look pale for even
they never saw so much money,
Why not let Johnnie and Mary kill
these flies at cents each before the
fly season opens, April Is? This would
be business management worth while,
and it might prove to be a real philan-
thropic piece of work as well.

on their hairy legs and deposit them on

Most people are awfu.Iy afraid of q

in the spring, is ten million times more

Farmer IS COR
Ed BY A BULL
J. M. Rain of Near Clarinda Is Ser
iously Injured.

Clarinda, Ia, Oct. 81. M. Rain,
a farmer living near this city, had a
very narrow escape from death We'd
nesday when the timely arrival of
friends rescued him from an attack
made upon him by bull he was
leading to the railroad stock yards.
Upon arrival at the railroad cross
ing near the Burlington depot the
animal became unmanageable and
made a sudden attack upon Mr..
Rain, who sought refuge under a
coal car standing on the track near
by. Before he could reach safety
under the car the animal struck
him, gored him severely in the
back, smashing his right foot and
injuring his hip. Although his con-
dition is critical, he was saved from
worse fate by the timely appear
ance of his friends.

WOULD TAX THE AUTO SALES.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 3.-Re'
duction of the proposed tax on gas
oline in the war revenue bill from
2 cents to 1 cent a gallon, and tn,
imposition of a tax of so cents pei
horsepower on automobile sales
were agreed to yesterday by demo
Gratis of the senate finance commit
tee. They plan to complete the re-
vision of the house bill by tonight
The committee did not reach the
bank tax in it's deliberations yester-
day, but will have before it today a
subcommittee recommendation that
the proposed tax of 50 a thousand
on bank capital and surplus be
eliminated and that there be sub
stituted a stamp tax on checks
drafts, certificates of deposit and
other negotiable paper. The tax on
checks, drafts, ETC., would be cents
and on certificates of deposits, ETC.,
2 cents for each 500. From this
it is estimated the revenue would
be about $10,00O,000.
1t was also agreed to retain the
proposed increased tax of SO cents
a barrel on beer in the house bill,
with the understanding, however.
that further increase of rs cents
might be made should the commit
tee find it necessary to raise more
revenue after it has completed con-
sideration of all sections of the bill.
The proposed tax of 20 cents a
gallon on sweet domestic wines and
~ cents on dry wines, the commit
tee agreed to revise, retaining the
house rate on sweet wines, but re-
ducing the dry wine tax to cents.
This was on recommendation of the
treasury department..
The committee acting with refer
ence to gasoline and automobiles
occasioned considerable surprise, as
the general expectation had been
that an automobile tax would be
substituted for the gasoline tax. The
1 cent on gasoline will bring rev.
enue amounting to $10,O0O,0O0.
The proposed SO cents per horse
power on automobile sales will not
affect persons owning automobiles,
but will be levied on sales. There
is a provision, however, that when
ever a manufacturer already has
contracted to sell automobiles at a
certain price the tax shall be paid
by the jobber or dealer.
The stamp tax, including the in
surance taxes, tobacco dealers tax
and other features of the bill, will
be considered today.

"The population of all the viii
lagos between the first and second
rings of forts surrounding the city
are fleeing into Antwerp, but there
is no panic. The inhabitants feel
certain that help will come. Fifty
thousand refugees have arrived from
Client, 5000 from Bruges, 5000
from Coutrai and 1900 from Os-
tend.
Behind and in the enemy's lines
in the cities of Brabant, Limburg
and Hainault, Belgian volunteers
have succeeded in blowing up the
railway track at ten places besides
destroying bridges and viaducts."

THIRD WEEK OF FIGHT.


London, Oct. 3.-The battle Of
the Aisne, as it is still called, al
though the armies contending in il
have spread far beyond that river
now has been in progress just three
weeks and no decision has been
reached.
Reports from Paris earlier in the
week that the allies operations
were about to succeed were prema-
ture. From all appearances there
must be more hard fighting before
either side gives way.
The heaviest blows are being
given and taken in the western
area, where, according to yester-
days French official communication,
an extremely violent battle contin-
ues, especially in the Roye district.
where the Germans have concentrat-
ed considerable forces. The COM
munication added that the action
was extending more and more north
ward, and that the fighting front
now extended to the district south
Of Arras.
This, apparently, was a modest
account of the northward advance
Of the French, for private kilograms
received in London last night an
nounced that the French actually
had reached Arras. Stubborn re-
sistance is being offered by the Ger
mans in the vicinity Of Roye where
earlier in the week they succeeded
in occupying the heights, which,
however, they later were compelled
to abandon.
Along the front from the Disc to
the Mouse rivers, according to the
French report, only partial opera
lions have been attempted by either
side. Frontal attacks by the allies,
as a matter of fact, have been dis
continued, while the TANKS are fight
ing for ascendancy.
On the allies right the Germans
have made another attempt to cross
the Mouse at st. Mihiel, where they
got across last week. The German
attempt to regain this ground
which they had abandoned when
threatened on their flank by troops
from Toul, was made yesterday
when they tried to throw bridge
across the river. The pontoon,
however, according to the French
report, was destroyed during the
night

A SPIRIT OF
VICTORY IS IN
ALLIED ARMIES
French and British Troops are Op-
timistic Over Final Outcome of
Great Battle.
VIOLENT ATTACK GOES ON
Fury of German Onslaught is Una
bated, Particularly on West
ern Wing. :
VIOLENT ATTACK GOES ON

On the Battle Front, Paris, Oct.
"A thrill was in the air all along
the extended allied lines yesterday.
The French and British troops, who
have been over a fortnight in the
closest contact with the Germans
felt they had accomplished their
hard task of preventing the Ger
mans from breaking through the
human barrier erected between
them and Paris, their main object
i've, and that this meant eventual
victory for the allies. -...
The lines of the trenches make
the battle front appear like deeply
SCARED fields. The allies, who
quickly learned the lesson OF bur-
rowing at some places face the Ger
mans within a quarter of mile.
Their field entertainments offer ad-
mirable shelter from the effects of
the German artillery, which conse-
quently reduces their casualties
and permits the allies to await in
comparative safety the German at
tacks, which must be made across
the open and often at terrible cost.
The fury of the German on
slaughts was undated yesterday,
especially on the western wing; but
their every effort was met with
vigor by the allies, who seemed to
vie with each other in using all
their strength and courage against
the attackers.
The scene of the most violent at
tacks changes day by day. The Ger
mans, finding it impossible to pene-
trate the allied lines in the vicinity
of Rheims and scissors, quickly
transported many of their divisions
farther northwest and yesterday
hurled them against Roye. Again
they failed, although last night they
had not ceased their efforts to bat
ter down the resistance.
The allies great turning move.
ment continued yesterday and their
western wing extended toward Ar
ras. Reports from the other end Of
the line on the frontier show the
progress of the allies to be slow,
but sure. Hundreds of German
prisoners fell into the hands of the
allies at every point, and it was re-
marked that the majority were Ba-
varians, who seem to have been
prominent in the front of the Ger
man attack.
Spies are so numerous along the
front that orders have been issued
stating that any German in civilian
dress encountered will be consider
ed a spy and those furnishing him
with clothes will be regarded as &C
completes. Germans who do not
surrender on the first summons to
do so will be executed. The order
says that any group of more than
three armed Germans found behind
the allies lines will be considered
as ghouls and shot, while every per-
son found committing robberies on
the battlefields, whether civilian or
soldier, will be courtmartialed.

Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 2.-Furthel
definite reports of divisions in Vii.
las army reached the border yes.
terday from both official and i'm
partial sources. The report that
Gen. MoncIovio Herrera with his
entire brigade had revolted against
Villas authority was confirmed. II
also was reported that the Arrieta
brothers, leaders in Durango, had
revolted to the Carranza side, and
that Villas leader, Tomas Urbina
had taken Durango city after a bat
tie.
Observers here took these reports
as indicating that they would
strengthen the position of Carranza
in his pending negotiations with
Villa at Zacatecas.
The Arrietas, Mariana and Dom
lingo, long have dominated the con.
stitutionalist troops of Durango. At
ter their defeat at the capital on
Tuesday, it was reported in advices
to Juarez they had fled into the hills
and established themselves in nat
ural strongholds of that mountain
Gus state.
Herrera and his troops are en-
trenched at Parral, in the south
western extremity of Chihuahua
state. Their district contains some
of the largest American mines OF
the state. 1t was reported from
Chihuahua that when General Her
rera renowned allegiance to Car
rama, that Villa officials had i'm
prisoned his brother, Luis, and
their father, Jose de la LUIS Herrera
who were at Chihuahua City.
These internal disorders in Villa
territory, it was admitted yester-
day, had occasioned suspension of
all outgoing traffic on the Mexican
Central railroad so as to prevent
the news reaching the border.
Rafael E. Muzquiz, the Carranza
consul general along the border, an
nounced from his Office here yester-
day that he had received definite
information that scores of officers
of the old federal army were pre-
pairing to join Villa in his revolt
against the central government.
Muzquiz said that three shiploads
of federal officers and soldiers from
Vera Cruz arrived yesterday at
Galveston.
These men with others now at
San Antonio, he declared, were
coming to Ell Paso to join the Villa
troops. The consul had reports
that already there we're seven form
er federal generals and fifty other
officers already at San Antonio in
addition to several already here.
From Sonora came reports Of al
most complete domination OF that
rich state by Yaqui Indians, who
believe Maytorena had been led in
to northern Sonora. Arrivals from
the western state declared that In
dams had been placed in civil Offices
in the state capital, Hermosillo and
other towns, and that the entire
state was in their power. The
Yaquis, it was declared, had set
about taking forcibly the lands
which they have claimed for years
and which they had been promised
