HUERTA FOR ELECTION JULY :
Dictator Opposed To Appointment OF
Provisional President.

Mexico City.-President Huerta's
proposal with regard to the settlement
to which the Niagara Falls peace con.
ference is directing its efforts, accord.
ing to persons close to the President
is that elections for President, Vice.
President, Senators, Deputies and
State Governors should be held on
July 5 next, as decreed by Congress.
He is DESTROYS that these elections
shall be free and absolutely legal, the
Constitutionalists having the right to
exercise supervision in those portions
of the republic now controlled by the
Government, and the Government
agents the same right to supervise the
returns in those parts of the coun.
try now in the hands of the Constitu.
tionalists.
He objects to the appointment of
new Provisional President because
this would cause impairment of the
national sovereignty.

AND THEN THEY UNDERSTOOD
Locomotive Engineer Made Quite
Plain What Had Caused Argu-
ment Between Travellers.

Two commercial travellers while in
a train got into an argument over
the action of the vacuum brake.
It's the imitation of the tube that
stops the train" declared the first
traveller.
Wrong, wrong!" shouted the Sec
ond. Its the output Of the exhaus-
ton"
Then when the train arrived at the
station they agreed to submit the mat
ter for settlement to the engineer.
That gentleman, leaning condescend-
ingly from his cab, listened with an
attentive frown to the two travellers
statements of their argument. Then
ne smiled, shook his head and said:
We'll. gents, ye're both wrong
about the workin' Of the vacuum
brakes. Yet it's very simple and easy
to understand. When we want to stop
the train we just turn this valve and
then we fill the pipe with vacuum"

HER MOTHER-IN-LAW
Proved a Wise, Good Friend.

A young woman out in Ia. found a
wise, good friend in her mother-in-law,
Jokes Notwithstanding. She writes:
Il was greatly troubled with my
stomach, complexion was blotchy and
yellow. After meals l often suffered
sharp pains and would have to lie
down. My mother often told me it
was the coffee drank at meals. But
when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe
headache.
while visiting my mother-in-law
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me it was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.
Il began to use Postum as soon as
got home, and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum) every day, and
! have no more trouble. Indigestion
is a thing of the past, and my COM
plexion has cleared up beautifully.
my grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach. Her doctor
told her to leave off coffee. She then
took tea but that was just as bad.
"She finally was induced to try Post
UNI which she has used for over a
year. She travelled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to
do for years. She says she owes her

INQUIRY WILL BE PUSHED
The Captain Tried To Keep His Cow
In the Rent, But the Empress
Was Going Too Fast
Astern.

Montreal.-The sharp point of an
anchor projecting from the twisted
bow of the Norwegian collier Storstad
may explain why that vessel did such
terrible execution when she rammed
the Empress of Ireland in the lower
st. Lawrence. An examination of the
golfers shattered plates revealed the
anchor damned in a position where it
could have ripped through the hull of
the Empress like great can opener.
The anchor point and portions of the
battered steel surrounding it bore
stains of blood.
Preparations were begun here for
the inquiry into the disaster which
cost, at present reckoning, 500 lives.
The inquiry will be conducted by a
joint commission of Canadian and
British shipping experts. The arrange
ments for the inquiry. which will be
held either here or in Quebec, are be-
ing made by Captain Lindsay,
Dominion wreck commissioner.
Pilot Nault, who navigated the
Storstad up the ST. Lawrence from
Quebec, said that Captain Anderson
told him that Anderson, his first officer
and Pilot Lechance, who brought the
Storstad from Father Point to Quebec,
were on the bridge at the time of the
collision.
Captain Anderson Cried.
On the way up the river" continued
Nault, IAN examination was made to
ascertain the extent of the damage
done to the Storstad. AS far as we
could learn 20 plates forward had been
sprung; but after that the ship was
unchanged. At Quebec the Storstad
took in so much water that we were
obliged to food the aft compartments
in order to keep the ships bow I'D.
There was no water in the hold of the
Storstad
Captain Anderson is deeply grieved
over the tragedy. Several times dur
Ing the trip from Quebec l came upon
him crying with his face buried in his
hands. Captain Anderson told me he
had been instructed not to talk about
the accident"
One of the officers of the Storstad
said:
AT the time of the disaster | was
lying in my bunk. | was awakened
by a shock and at first thought the
ship had struck a rock. ran to the
deck and looked over the side. The
Storstad was going full speed astern.
The water around was filed with
struggling men and women shouting
for help. Boats were Immediately low
cred, and there was not a man on the
Storstad who did not do his utmost to
help rescue the people in the water.
We in the boats brought the survivors
to the deck of the Storstad. From
there they were taken into the engine
room, the warmest place on board.
Some of the survivors had been so
numbed by the ice cold water that
they leaned up against the cylinders of
the engines until their flesh was
blistered."

HERE'S AN EXPERIMENT WHICH MAY MEAN
A BRAND NEW INDUSTRY FOR KANSAS
Falls in Raising Karakue Lambs By Cross Breeding
Dr. Nabours to Visit Europe and Asia
O Study Fur Farming

to. furriers in New York at prices rang
ing from So to SO apiece More than
500 lambs have arrived this spring of
which 200 will be marketed as fur
The significant fact learned by this
seasons results is that half-bIood
Karekule rams, bred to native long
wool sheep, produce lambs which bear
fur almost as valuable as the pure
bred Karakule on native ewes. Of $50
lambs from Observation-Disclosures rams on
Lincoln and Cotswold ewes 143 were
lustrous black with valuable pelts, two
were spotted and white, and five we're
pure white-thOugh these pelts also
were curly and apparently valuable.
Persian lamb fur is a lustrous black
with tight curls and brings the high
est price. Lambs that die soon after
birth or that are prematurely born
usually bear this kind When the
curIs are looser the fur is called as
trakhan, and if it shows shades of
gray it is called krimmer. The popu-
larity Of all these furs in the United
States may be judged from the fact
that this country imports some four
teen million dollars worth from Asia
every year
Crawford is alone in the United
States as a producer OF these furs and
the breeding animals on large scale.
He has the larger part of the only
Karakule herd ever brought to the
United States. The popular demand
for the breeding animals since it has
been shown that American sheepmen
can compete with farmers Of Asia in
growing these furs makes the rams
command good prices. Pure-breds
sell for $1,000 apiece while the half
breeds bring $3.50.
The fact that the half-blood rams
bring offspring with native eyes whose
peIts are worth SIS, 81 and So apiece,
and sometimes more, and the fact that
mutton from sheep containing Kara
kule blood excells the meat of native
sheep are two reasons why the Kara
kule breed may become popular in this
country The fact also that there is
a growing scarcity of fur animals in
the United States and that Karakule
full has risen 140 per cent in the last

part Of them died. Defendant did not

The railroads began their plea before

road. Il is declared that the financial
conditions OF the railroads is such as to
make the increase absolutely necessary
il they are to pay dividends and meet
their obligations.
We can well believe that il is becoming
more and more difficult for the railroads
to meet their fixed charges, for instead
Of eeonomizinZ. they are continually add
ing to their great burden of debt they
are always borrowing, and they never

granted, it will not be long before they
will be asking for another raise. We dc

To see itself as others see il is a plan
adopted by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road In sending an assistant general pas
senger agent on 5000 mile tour OF Its
tracks on an inspectors gasoline tricycle.
10 collect first-hand information con-
corning the degree to which the service
meets the requirements OF communities,
as we'll as to ascertain the attitude OF
public opinion and exchange views WIN
patrons, agents of the railroad and others
interested in high standard oil transport
tation facilities. The trip has been begun
by VIM. E. Loves, assistant general
passenger agent at Baltimore, who Will
be engaged on the work for several months
as weather conditions permit and VINO
will compile a report for the information
and records of the general officers. Ac-
companied by photographer and SUI
peryisor of tracks, Mr.. Loves has COW
cred a portion of the main line and
branches of the eastern divisions on his
Scouting expeditions. When visiting
small agency Mr.. Loves discusses the
service with the agent, examines the
station and offers and receives Sugges-
tions as to the needs Of patrons. From
farmers he obtains information concern
ing the fertility Of soil and its adaptability
TO particular phases of farming, learns the
Weld per acre in the community and the
amount OF fertilizer. farming machinery
and articles shipped in and in turn such
information as the most available market
paying top prices for farm products is
impaired. II further assistance be de-
sired by the farmers, the matter is taken
up with the agricultural department OF
the railroad.
The above item of news is sent out by
the B. & o. publicity agent, and it must
be conceded that the plan is an admira-
BILE one. The railroad company and its
patrons ought to be as friendly and on as
good terms as a storekeeper and his Gus
toners, and if this were the case we
would hear good deal less OF the prelu-
dice that prevails against such corpora
tons.
We are curious 10 know, however,
what Mr.. loves thinks OF the disgrace
full shack maintained as a station at Shen-
andoah Junction, which is not int for shell
ter OF ladies or other persons who are
used to decent accommodations and we
wonder what effect one of Mr.. Lucky's
photographs of the dingy, dirty place
would have on the general manager. We
would like also to express our fervent
appeal to the company TO restore TO the
people of Jefferson county the privilege
of using train No. 6, a convenience OF
which they have been deprived for sew
eral years past in spite OF their strenuous
protest. If the railroad company is really
DESTROYS of doing some OF the things that
will please the people, we suggest that
Jefferson county is good place to start
reforms-give US a new station at Shen-
andoah Junction and stop No. there and
at Harper's Ferry.
