REBELS TAKE FIVE
THOUSAND FEDERALS
Gain Sweeping Victory When
Gauda|ajara Falls.

Saltillo, Mex, July 1.-The rebels
under General Obregon have won
sweeping victory at Guadalajara-
The city was captured after fierce
battle, 5000 federals were captured
and the federal army Of 10000 CON-
pletely routed.
General Jesus Carranza is expected
to attack San Luis Potosi at once
With this city in the hands of the
rebels the road will be clear to Quere-
taro and Mexico City.
Constitutionalists say the impor-
tance of this victory cannot be ex-
aggerated. Military men say that if
Obregon should push his way towards
the capital as rapidly as possible he
could be menacing Huerta's gates in
a week.

Calientes and San Luis POtosi.
Before the three armies arrive there
two or three strongly fortified towns
held by Huerta's troops, including
Guanajuato and Silao, must be cap

point, the combined armies would
have before them only one fortified
city, Querataro, ninety miles from
Mexico City, and the place where HUI

LIFE HISTORY OF
GREAT PRESIDENT

Abraham Lincoln, whose figur e
history has already transfigured,
and whose memory is reverenced
by all people, was born in Hardin
county, Kentucky, on February
II, 1909, descendant Of Samuel
Lincoln of Norwich, England, and
the son of Thomas Lincoln, an I'M
educated and thriftless carpenter,
who had married Nancy Hanks.
Few books came within his way
in boyhood, but he had access to
the Bible, Shakespeare, "Aeosop's
Fables" Robinson Crusoe," "Pil-
grims Progress" and a history of
the United States and Weems'
Washington, the reading and re-
reading of which laid the founda-
ton of that mastery of idiomatic
English which he was to show so
often ia later life.
AT the age of twenty-one he &C

companied his father to Illinois,
and thrre won reputation as a
rail-splitter by helping to clear
and plant some Is acres of land.
In 1881 he made acquaintance
with slavery in trip to New Or
leans, renewing the experience
ten years afterward.
After slight service as a volun-
teer, Lincoln settled at New Salem,
entered for a while into politics,
tried his fortunes in a dry goods
and grocery store, and finally set
tied down to the study of law. In
May, 1888, he was appointed to
postmastership of New Salem,
and held the position for three
years.
Elected to the legislature as a
Wing in 1884, Lincoln was sent to
congress in 1916, from which date
began his public campaign against

TRAP SET BY
MOONSHINERS
Raiding Revenue Officer Falls Into
Bear Pit" and Fine Still
Demolished.

Cleveland, Tenn, Feb. 8.-How
the ingenuity of a band of Polk
county moonshiners acted to the
discontinue of the raiding "reve-
nooers" and prevented the cap
ture of the offenders, even if it
could not stop the destruction of
the illicit distillery, became known
here yesterday when Deputy Col
lector j. S. Porter. j. w. Brown,
H. L. Burns, James Wehunt and j..
K. Brown returned from an ex-
petition into the wilds.
The officers left here Friday
afternoon. They arrived at SLIGO,
near the north end Of the Tennes-
see Power company's pond, at a
late hour that night and laid their
plans for the raid.
When they started for the dis
tillery early yesterday morning,
Deputy Collector Porter crashed
through a layer of poles and trash
into a pit that had been dug for
the purpose of trapping and de-
laying officers, much in the same
manner that pioneer bear hunters
sometimes effected the capture of
big game.
The officer was uninjured by
the fall, but before his fellow raid
ers could get him out of the pit,
the moonshiners had made their
escape.

He is Only Republican to Qualify
in Race For Legislature
in Cooke County.

Tuesday was the last day for
the candidates to qualify in the
race for the legislature. O. L.
McMahan was the only one to
qualify for the primary for that
office. but this does not mean
that Mr.. McMahan will have things
his own way in November, as it is
stated that former Representative
Boyer and his followers intend to
run some candidate, probably Mr..
Boyer himself as All Independent.
The primary, tits said, did not
look good to Mr.. Boyer, nor his
friends, it being implied that it
was a snap affair, with notice
having been given in advance that
there was to be a representative
race IN connection with this prl-

but a few days to qualify and this,
it isl said, has not suited that wing
of the Republican party which is
opposed to Mr.. McMahan's candi-
dacy.
On the other hand it is stated
by those instrumental in bringing
the representatives race into this
primary that it will mean one less
election; that it will mean that all
wounds in the Republican party
will be healed long before the
November election and that it
should result in a much better
feeling in Republican ranks; that

Abraham LincOln's Last, Shortest

Here is what Abraham Lincoln himself called his own
last shortest and best speech" 1t reproduced from
Stoddards Abraham Lincoln The Man and the War Pres-
dent In that book the item is printed in facsimile in Lin
coins own handwriting. II is related that the president
himself in of his few spare moments wrote out for
Noah Brooks then Washington correspondent for of
the New York papers, for Mr. Brooks to print
paper paragraph
"On Thursday of last week two ladies from Tennessee
before the President asking the release of their hus
bands held prisoners of Johnsons Island They

slavery and his oratorical contest
with his rival, Stephen A. Dou-
glas. On July 1, 1852, he deliver
ed his eulogy on Henry Clay, and
in October, 1854, spoke power
fully against the extension of
slavery into the territories. Lin
coin, after being again returned
to the Legislature, was on June
II, 1856, named for vice-president
at the Republican nominating
convention in Philadelphia. Then
followed his challenge to the
seven famous debates with Doug
las, and in May, 1860. his nomina-
ton as candidate for president at
the Republican national conven-
ton in Chicago.
The platform adopted, while de-
handing that slavery be forbid
den in the territories, denied the
right of congress to interfere with
slavery in the states. The South
now prepared for secession.
Lincoln, elected to the presidency,
denied in his inaugural the right
of any state or number of states
to leave the Union. The reply Of
the Confederate government was
General Beauregard's lombard
ment of Fort Sumpter. The
president at once called out 75,-
600 volunteers, and the war for
the Union was on. The history
of the conflict was thenceforward
a part of Lincoln's own political
history until his death by the
hand of an assassin on April ID,
1865.
THE martyr president" says
Ward Lamon, in his life of Abra-
ham Lincoln, was six feet four
inches high, the length of his legs
being out of all proportion to that
of his body. When he sat on a
chair he seemed no taller than an
average man, measuring from the
chair to the crown of his head;
but his knees rose high in front.
He weighed about 1870 pounds,
but was thin through the breast,
narrow across the shoulders, and
had the general appearance of a
constructive subject. Standing
up, he stopped slightly forward;
sitting down, he usually crossed
his long legs or threw them over
the arms of the chair. His head
was long and tall from the base
