TAKE GUADALAJARA
FEDERAL ARMY CUT TO PIECES;
5000 CAPTURED.
Gen. Bianco's constitutionaIist Forces
Sever Communication With Cap
ltal by Rail and Wire.

Douglas, Notwithstanding from
the governors palace in Guada-
lajara, General Alvaro Obregon in
formed F. S. Elias, border represen-
tative of the constitutionalists, that
he had captured the city, and routed
10000 federals commanded by Gen.
Mel, federal governor Of the state
of Jalisco.
In q fierce battle, extending over a
zone of so miles, the federal army
was cut to pieces by Obregon's force
Of less than 10000 men. Five thou
sand federals were captured, Obregon
said, along with all the artillery and
ammunition Of the enemy. Those who
escaped are being pursued by consti-
nationalist cavalry.
Gen. Blanco was sent to cut off all
communication with Mexico City by
rail or wire. He tore up the railroad
line and prevented the federals NOV
ing any stores out of the city.
Few Of the attacking force were
killed or wounded, Obregon reported.
He informed Elias that he led his
forces personally into Guadalajara.
The city went wild with enthusiasm
over the entrance of the revolutionary
forces, and it is estimated here Obre-
gon will get $4,000 recruits in the
city before marching on Irapuato,
the railroad junction of the Mexican
railroad connecting the City of Mex
leo with nothern and western Mexico.

"ILLINOlS MINERS STARVING"
Over 10000 Out of Work in State, Sec
rotary Duncan Mcdonald Tells
Statehouse Gathering.

Springfield, .Ill,-A desperate con
dition, in the coal mining indus
try in Illinois was depicted by Dun
a Mcdonald, secretary-treasurer Of
the Illinois Mine Workers, addressing
the state efficiency and economy COM
mittee, at its meeting at the state
house, considering reorganization Of
the labor and mining agencies of Hi
nois. Forty thousand of the 100000
miners of his order in the state are
out of work, said Mcdonald, because
of overriding of the coal mining indus
try in Illinois.
MANY of these miners are on the
verge of starvation" said the speaker,
"as we have not enough money in our
relief fund to supply them all. Eigh-
teen mining companies failed last year.
Too many mines are being opened.
There should be a law here, like that
in Germany, restricting the opening
of new mines"

FLEE BY BOAT
TRUCE DECLARED TO PREVENT
NEEDLESS SLAUGHTER.
Guaymas, One of Most important
West Coast Mexican Cities, Evac-
uated by Federals.

Saltillo, Mexico.-Guaymas, one Of
the most important seaports IN the
Mexican west coast, was evacuated by
federals, according to advices to Gen.
Carranza.
The constitutionalist commander in
vesting Guaymas was authorized to
agree to an armistice until the fed
erals should leave the city by boats,
the truce being to save property of
noncombatants and unnecessary
slaughter.
Gen. C%arranza has authorized Alva-
redo to establish a municipal govern
ment at Guaymas Immediately. 1t is
understood the terms of evacuation
announced here in advance were car
ried out, by which the American naval
vessels in the harbor guaranteed the
armistice with a promise also that
after it was over the federal gunboat
would not lombard the n~ewly-estab-
lished constitutionalist garrison.

Convict Farm Suggested.

Gov. Major has under ~advisement a
proposition to submit to the next leg
islature for the purchase of 1000
acres Of farming land in Galloway
county as a convict farm.
The governor believes such a farm
could be DEVOTED entirely to growing
vegetables and producing meat for
consumption by the convicts, and thus
effect a great saving in their keep.
All convict labor contracts, under
which contractors are o working
some 1900 men, will expire at the
close of next year, and the presump-
ton is that the next Legislature will
not authorize renewals.
The governor thinks that a farm
across the river from the p%eniten-
tiary would furnish employment for
400.
During Gov. ~Crittenden's admins
t%ration, In the early eighties, the state
tried to operate a convict farm in Cal
laway county, and had to abandon the
undertaking owing to the hostility of
the farmers. Then, however, the con.
victs were kept on the farm as long
as there was work there, and were
not returned 20 the pri5on at night as
Gov. Major plans.

How an anonymous letter, signed
"Law and Order League" caused AL
bert Berry, a Caldwell county boy, to
break the conditions of a parole

HARVEST HANDS SEIZE TRAIN
Two Hundred Force Northwestern
Railroad Crew to Garry Them
to Wheat Fields.

Omaha, Neb.-Two hundred har-
vest hands en- route to the wheat
fields of northwestern Nebraska,
captured a Northwestern railroad
train west of Omaha and forced the
train men to carry them to the wheat
fields, where they were snapped up
by farmers as fast as they struck the
ground.
Nebraska railroads this year have
suffered a loss of $200,0 900 in railroad
fares because of stolen rides by har-
vesters. For the last six weeks every
freight train has carried from 10 to
$50 passengers from whom not a cent
could be collected.

CATTLE PRICES TO ADVANCE
Shortage Causes Dealers to Predict
$40 to $12 Beef Next Winter
Consumer to Pay Increase.

Chicago, Ill.-Cattle prices are adj
vancing rapidly at Chicago, and at
western primary shipping points, and
Chicago dealers were ~forecasting $40
and even $12 beef for next winter.
At Kansas City Wednesday cattle on
the hoof reached the highest point in
a year. The receipts have fallen off
at Chicago, Kansas City, st. Louis
and Omaha to a degree unprecedented
for this season.
Packers and shippers say that the
scarcity of cattle and the consequent
increase in prices are the result of
the drought last fall, which compelled
the raisers to rush their cattle to
market even IN the falling prices.
Packers say that the consumer, as
usual, will pay the increase.

Farm Laborers In Demand.

Farm Laborers In Demand.
During the month Of June, when the
huge wheat crops Of Missouri and
Kansas we're being garnered, farmers
Of these two states called on the Mis-
souri, free employment bureaus, 10
Gated In st. Louis. Kansas City and
st. Joseph. to furnish them with IT.
900 harvest hands. The call was met
by directly supplying 1891 men, who
we're paid from 81 to 81 a day, accord
ing to experience and the kind of work
done. while the harvest was on; tie
other 4,619 places being filed indirect
ly by applicants for employment as
harvest hands being requested to pro-
coed to the places from which the
calls came. This is the information
that Commissioner John T. F7tzpat-
rick imparts in a bulletin. !.
It is estimated as many more men
travelling across Missouri in search of
employment, brought to the state by
the call for harvest hands, were
grabbed up by farmers and put to
work before they had a chance to APP
ply to the state free employment bu-
reaus for situations. There is no way
of securing definite information on the
size of this latter army.
Kansas City being in the center of
the chief wheat areas of both states,
handled the bulk of the harvest hands.
According to the figures, the re-
quests for help received by the three
offices totaled 1869 made and 80 fe-
male workers. There ere Pat to
work 13,967 men and ZIG women.
The huge wheat crop of Missouri
and Kansas brought about this condi-
ton. Thousands of men who hal been
out of work for months were given a
chance to earn, on an average, $3.50 a
day each, for a period ranging from
two weeks to a month.
Employers in st. Louis needing fe-
male help do not use the state free
employment bureau there as much as
they ought to, especially since the
service is gladly given free of charge.
Only SO calls for women workers
were registered in June, and u We're
at once supplied.

Candidates Must stick It out.

Candidates for nomination before
the coming state primary, w,'o have
any intention of withdrawn their
names, would be wise to do SO at
once. 1t is useless to apply to Secre-
tary of State Roach to obtain the
omission of a name from the ballot,
for the reason that he has certified
the form of the ballot and the names
of the candidates to the county
clerks.
In a congressional district, for in
stance, in which there might be 10 or
IL counties, it would be necessary
for a candidate for the congressional
nomination, should he conclude HI
has had sufficient of the game and
wants to quit, to comN unicate with
the county clerk of each county in
the district.
There does not appear to be any
very definite provision in the state
primary law for a candidate to get
out once that he has gotten in, but
in the old election law governing NOM
nations, or in that part of it not en-
tirely wiped out by repeal, implica-
ton or otherwise, there is a method
provided, and it is under this that the
county clerks can omit the rame of a
candidate desiring to withdraw; pro-
vided notice is received before the
ballots are printed.
