is being fought to-day between the
Constitutionalists and Federals for
possession off the strategic Key OF

A terrific concentrated attack was
made also upon the eastern and

According to dispatches from the
front, the Constitutionalists occupied
the suburbs of Gomez Palacio at .

army succeeded in silencing the
heavy guns of the outer. works Oh 'he

their heads, the Constituencies

Mother Grizzly and Cubs Escape
From Two Hundred and Chase
Attendant Up Tree.

Following a night made ira
ditionally hidious by a real bear
hunt, full of revolver shots, hor-
rid growls and fearful shrieks by
pursued negro, Dan Carey,
Manager of Parks, debated what
to do Tuesday morning with the
carcass of an entirely defunct
grizzly bear and a very live half
grown grizzly cub, installed As
feet above the earth in a tree
at Grant Park.
The grizzly bear and one of her two
CUBS escaped Monday night and made
no end Of trouble before she finally
succumbed to successive volleys of
revolver bullets by a police posse.
When the mother bear got away,
Russell Chapman. a negro attendant
at the zoo, set boldly out in pursuit.
He fancied the bear would stand up
on her hind legs and welcome him as
a friend. the same as she was accus-
toned to do at feeding time.

When he reached the bear. how
ever. Chapman was Mortified to dis
cover in his ex-protege a hitherto
dormant affinity for dark meat. AS
soon as he was apprised of this cir

with the supposed quarry and exc

In his haste, the negro was guilty
Of a tactical error. He climbed a
tree, which is one OF the best things
bear does.
Mrs Bruin began to emulate the
example Of her erstwhile friend and
mentor, and Chapman, lesping from
limb to limb with an agility that went
far to substantiates the Darwinian
theory, began to arouse the neighbor-
hood.

He did this so successfully that by
the time the ferocious pursuer had

police officers and patrolmen, headed

The effects OF excessive secretion OF bile

which is also a function OF the liver, are

For this purpose the claim is made that
pinklets. the new laxative, are greatly

which over-stimulate the liver and, when
their use is stopped, leave the liver more
torpid than before. That oyer-stimula-

The Highway Commissioner
Makes Statement as to
His Position

st. Adams, Aug 25.--In view OF the
reports concerning the position taken by
State Highway Commissioner Z. w
Gates of Franklin in regard to the gov,
ernorship, The Messenger has secured
| from him statement which will make
I his position plain. Mr.. Gates statement
reads as follows:
Several articles entirely unauthorized
by me have appeared recently IN dltier-
emit papers referring to my position in
the present gubernatorial canvass IN
such a way that ] am either forced to
make public statement OF my position,
or am placed in an unfair light before
the people of the state as whole, anu
in an almost dishonorable light before
my numerous personal friends to whom
have repeatedly defined my position,
and to whom ! am just now made TO
appear by some OF these articles as nav
ing stealthily shifted it.
MY attitude has been entirely con-
slant on this subject for the past four
years While fully approaching the hon
or attaching to the highest office Of the
state, il have had a personal ambition
to make success of the states policy
of road improvement. Aside from the
road work proper, | have aimed to keep
the department absolutely clean and
clear from politics, graft, and side IS
sues of every description.
Il have been urged most persistently
to enter the present campaign on the
ground that it was my duty IN the inter
est of harmony and success. But also
recognize the fact that | have duty
to the governor who appointed me, the
success of whose administration rs IN
proportional measure marked by the
success Of my department, and to the
people at large who are most vitality
concerned in the practical efficiency OF
this department
After considering the whole situation
carefully. decided that it would be in
consistent for me to be candidate for
the nomination. and expected the matter
to drop there
'.The report that is being circulated
that | would accept the nomination II II
came to me has only this foundation in
fact. Replying to the question that has
been repeatedly asked me, whether !
would accept the nomination if for any
reason the convention should nominate
me, ! have replied that such a possible
ity was too remote to be considered Sc
riouslv, but in the event of its becoming
fact. there would be but one thing for
me to do, and that would be to accept it.
This must not be miseonstrued. ! am
not candidate. do not want the nom
nation. and am back VI no movement to
secure It. but will abide by the action of
the convention.
"rhis fully defines my position, and
is the only authorized statement that ]
have made.

celebrated in st. Peters and in all the
Catholic churches in Rome Sunday.
Thousands of persons visited st, Peters
to pay tribute before the altar of con
fession, under which the body of Pope
Plus rests.
The third meeting OF Congregation of
Cardinals was held yesterday, and the
question OF the coneaye for the election
of a new pope was discussed. The com
ing conclave viii resemble that of 1878,
which elected Pope Leo. Europe had
then been disturbed by the Russo Turk
ish war and the treaty of San Stefani
was signed on the day Pope Leo was
crowned.
Again the nations are at warfare. and
it is believed that the present conclave
will favor the election Of political pope,
as did the concave of 1878.
The elimination of cardinals, so that
the most probable candidates for the
papacy might be listed, has been under
consideration II IS hardly believed pos
sible that foreign pope viii be elected.
This removes ~ cardinals from the
candidacy, and it is also considered I'M
likely that the pontiff would be chosen
from among the cardinals above 20 years
of age, thus eliminating 25 more. Final
" there are FIVE cardinal deacons, who,
according to tradition, could never be
elected Thus the choice would lie
among l6. some Of whom are believed
to be obviously out OF the question, leav-
ing Cardinals Ferrari, Ferrata, Mafii,
Gasparri, Pompili, De Lsi and possibly
one or two others to select from.

Faith in Lightning Rods Is Reviving

According to Farm and Fireside, the
national farm paper published at Spring
field, Ohio, lightning rods are OF great
VALUE to farmers. despite the fact that
wave OF disbelief in them swept over
the country Jew wears ago owing to
swindles perpetrated by lightning rod
agents who charged exorbitant prices for
their wares and otherwise defrauded
people In the current issue OF this
farm paper appears an article on the
subject, an interesting extract from
which follows:
There's no doubt but that buildings
properly rodded with good copper rods
are practically immune from serious
damage by lightning. OF course the rods
must be kept in good repair. Once in
while we hear OF rodded building being
slightly injured, but / have never known
4 building being destroyed by lightning
ii properly rodded with pure copper
abie lightning rods On the other hand,
so many unrodded buildings are de
stroyed that ! consider it hazardous for
any farmer owning valuable buildings
to let them 20 unrodded. The CHASTITY
ieapinr flames from an unroddcd barn
tlAI WIS eNiNEh anu DAltith ~ tAiN
ground in my neighborhood last season
still form a vivid picture in my mind.
For a time the lightning-rod theory was
considered as sort of bogus PROPOSE
ton, due mostly to business done by
fake agents years ago This idea is nov
rapidly dying out.
ITO be sure agents sometime charge
exorbitant prices. but if you wish to
protect your buildings from lightning
YOU can do SO at a moderate cost. be-
sides having frst-cIass job done Buy
the material and do the roddihg your
self, or have someone do it under your
direction One thousand feet Of cable
and q tops can be purchased at whole
sale prices which are very reasonable
Ii this amount OF material is more than
one man needs, two or three parties can
order together at Wholesale rates"

White Pine weeyil in Vermont.

The white pine weeyil is doing much
damage in Vermont. During a recent
trip through one OF the best white pine
sections OF the state. one Of the foresters
in the state department found some in
lection in almost every stand Of young
pine. and some stands were badly IN.
feeted Very few plantations have been
infected a. yet because the most OF
them are too young.
Wherever there are young stands OF
pine, either planted or natural growth,
from five to twenty years old. it is i'm
portant that this pest be controlled, as
the grade of lumber produced, where he
has worked is very inferior,
The dead or dying leaders should be
collected at once and put in can Gov
cred with a screen having the same sized
mesh as the ordinary window fly netting
This is done because these leaders con-
tain not only the weevil but a parasite
which kills the weevil This parasite is
small enough so that it can escape
through this sized mesh while the wee

taken that the can is absolutely tight,
except where covered with the screen,
that both can and screen are of ma
terial which viii not rust or otherwise
be opened by the weather, and that the
can is either locked or so constructed
that the curious boy cannot open it.
