WAS STABBED TO DEATH IN VILLAS OFFICE BY RELATIVE
 OF THE REBEL LEADER.
NO COURT MARTIAL HELD
This Story Was Told by Villa for the Purpose of Protecting the Murderer Who Was His eIatve-Punish- ment of Murderer Is Expected.

Washington, March 21.-Wm. z. Benton, the British subject, was not shot by Gen Villa, but was stabbed to death in Villas office at Juarez by Mai Rudolfo Pierre, according to persons believed to be conversant with the findings thus far of the spe- cial Mexican commission appointed by Gen, Carranza to Investigate Ben tons death.
 British Consul Perceval, who has left E Paso for his post at Calves ton, has forwarded a report to the British embassy here, which it is un- derstOod corroborates the finding of the Mexican commission to the extent that Benton was stabbed, but does not clearly establish, it is said, by whom the act was committed This report is expected here Monday
 Tie British government, as well as the state department here, is awaiting the report of the Mexican commis- sion which, it is thought, may be made early next week, as Cen Car rania is expected to arrive in Juarez Monday. Roberto " Pesqueira, con lidential agent of the constitutional- ists at Washington is en route to Jua- reg to meet Gen CaTranza in connec- ton with the Benton case. He knows the general feeling of the American government over the incident and the desire for a clarifcation of it's mys- tery.
 That Maj Fierro will be charged With the crime and is punished is the expectation of many MeXicans here They explain Cen Villas story of a court martial as an effort to shield Fierro, who is said to be his distant relative. The Carranzh commission, however, is reported to have declared its purpose of punishing FieTo, de- spite Villas efforts to protect him. The arrest of Fierro has been report ed from Chihuahua. but confirmation is lacking
 Secretary Bryan today said that while he had heard numerous versions of the Benton killing comment would be withheld until the Carranza com mattee had finished it's work.

London Is Nonplussed.

London, March 21.-Governments military precautions to preserve order in Ulster have precipitated a crisis without parallel in the history of the British army. Rather than be placed in a position where they might be called upon to act against the Ulster covenanters, numbers of officers have resigned their commissions.
 While the war office refused to say how many have resigned, popular be- lief is that the number of withdraw als has crippled the whole military or

TEN DAYS The LIFE
OF A HORSE IN WAR

That the average life of horse on
the firing line in France is about ten
days was the astonishing declaration of
British army officer identified with
the remouDt department who visited
the Fiss, Doerr & Carroll Horse Com.
pany's big mart in East Twenty-fourth
Street, New York, a few DAYS ago.
horsemen were prepared to hear OF
unexampled wastage after reading
about the havoc wrought by modern
artillery and machine guns, but this
report indicates such slaughter as had
not been dreamed of here.
In the civil war in this> country the
wastage of horses was at the rate OF
about five hundred day in the Union
army, and the service of a cavalry
horse under an active commander Their
averaged about four months. During
his Shenandoah Valley campaign Sheri.
dan required $50 fresh horses a day,
and in eight months the cavalry of the
Army of the Potomac was remounted
twice, nearly forty thousand horses
having been required.
If the British officers estimate of
the wastage is not wide of the mark il
is foregone conclusion that before the
carnage ends there will be such a
shortage of horses as Europe has never
seen. AS most of the ANIMALS which
equipped the vast armies now in the
field were commanded from farmers
and others who had been using them in
agriculture and industry, they will hays
to be replaced for this work when
peace is restored, and this demand. ad-
ded to that of the war, will, it is be-
lieved, seriously affect the price of
horses the world over during the next
few years.

FOOT and MOUTH
DISEASE
THREATENS TO INVADE KY.

| One of the most destructive of all
the diseases known to live stock is the
| Foot and Mouth disease now raging in
many states of the union.
/ Thus far Kentucky has been spared
/ but Commissioner of Agriculture. J.W.
Newman, fearing an outbreak in the
state at any time has appealed to the
farmer, stock raisers and officers to CO.
operate in enforcing the quaranteen
laws and prevent an outbreak here, if
possible.
/ He gives the description of this ter
rible malady which is now destroying
/ hundreds of thousands of dollars of live
stock in the United States.
The United States Government to-
day sent two additional inspectors into
Kentucky and has placed the services
of every county agent in Kentucky at
the command OF the Livestock
Sanitary Board in its efforts to ward
off this disease.
The Federal Government realizes
/ the seriousness of the situation, but
/ the State Governments as rule do not
seem to and this more than any other
one thing, has been responsible for a
wides pread outbreak. Let US not have
it said that Kentucky's States autho-
rites have been lax in the performance
of their duties, and hereby call upon
all County Judges, Magistrates, County
Attorney and Prosecuting Attorneys,
Livestock Inspectors and livestock
o owners, as we'll as all veterinarians, to
exercise every precaution and to execute
every provision of the statutes against
violators of the quarantine now exist
ing.
"Cloven hoof animals are the ones
most liable to be affected; however, all
kinds of animals are subject to it, es-
pecially young animals, and children
have sometimes contracted it.
THE disease is readily recognized, as
it usually appears as inflammation be-
tween the toes of the animal, or around
the hoofs. and at the same time the
mucous membrane of the mouth becom-
es more or less liberated, accompanied
by excessive soldering Frequently
the hoof rots off entirely, and the mu-
cous membrane of the mouth sloughs
away, and the subject becomes stiff, as
in the case of laundering. The mortal
ity is not so very heavy, but the animal
is practically worthless, as it refuses to
eat for some time, and apparently loses
all sense of taste, and is generally of
no value thereafter. The fact that the
animal has had the disease once does
not render it immune against future
attacks, and few days after its re-
coyery it may be stricken a second
time, and even third, until death re-
lieves it.
''There is not disease known that
is more highly communicable from lone
subject to another than this one. The
outbreak in this country seems Ito have
been the result of importing hides from
a foreign country where the disease
existed, and. the oxen haulding tan
bark to the tanneries in Southern
Michigan contracted it in this way.
1t spreads like wild fire, being carried
in hay and folders, on hides and wool,
and by dogs rats, pigeons, buzzards
and cows and people may carry it on
their clothing for great distance. in
addition to affected animals COM

There was time in the publishing of
q newspaper when the material returns
for labor We're considered as of secondary
Importance and the first thought in the
mind of the editor and his readers was
that he must give the best IN him,
that he must wage the fight for
righteousness and strive for ideals
without thought of earthly needs.
While the striving for ideals, the striv-
ing 10 build up their towns morally,
financially and artisticaliy still remains
with publishers, an entirely different
view OF the reward for their labor has
displaced the Old one. The editor OF
today does not like to preach ideals on
an empty stomach any more than does
the preacher or other ''uplifts'. We
are in the uplifting business but
material reward is necessity just as
in every undertaking. Now we believe
if our friends only knew what it costs
to get out news paper, if they knew
NhS NOol pei "SSh VI idOOIs VI HShl,
heat, rent and material of all kinds, il
they knew the wear and tear or
machinery, if they knew the wear anC
tear on the publisher they would be
more considerable in their business
dealings with him. He would not be
expected to publish SO many things fol-
nothing, he would not be expected tc
air somebody's pet hobbies if they
would only stop and think what it cost
for him to run his plant full blast fol-
one hour.
In short money is necessary in the
news paper business and in order to in
sure material reward for labor publish
ing has become business in which the
striving for ideals is closely combined
with the striving for profits.

was fairly and evenly played by both
sides, fair decisions by both referee and
umpire. The courteous treatment by
Harrodsburg scoool and the foot ball
boys helped US to be victorious. The
local eleven played star ball, especially
when the ball was in our opponents
possession, and the only gain Har rods
burg could make was to ''hit the line,
but they were stars at that.
A large crowd from Lancaster ac-
