which brought out the fact that in.

LAWYER IN PLACE OF POWER
For the First Time in History Mex
lean Republic Has a Civilian in
Presidential Chair.

Mexico City.-Francisco Carbajal
is forty-four years old, a native of
the state of Campeche, and a lawyer.
Almost ever since the start of his
career he has occupied posts in the
judiciary. In the Madero administra-
ton he was a senator, but relin-
pushed his post to re-enter the SUI
preme court, Of which he was chief
Justice at the time General Huerta ap-
pointed him minister Of foreign rela-
tions.
When General Porfirio Dlaz deter
mined in 1911 to treat with the Made
70 revolutionists, Senior Carbajal pro-
ceeded to Juarez as his commissioner.
Senior Carbajal has a reputation for
possessing considerable intellectual
force and independence of character.
His demeanor is quiet. He shuns the
exuberance in verbiage and gesticu-
lation to which Latin-Americans are
prone. He is courteous, but a man
of few words and little given to elabo-
rate compliments.
Besides. he is neat and well
groomed in appearance. His features
indicate pure European descent, with
cut any admixture of Indian blood.
Altogether he is a man who con-
'yeys an impression of reserve power.
He is a good man sof business.
His probity has never been ques-
toned. He has been sagacious and
successful In investments and, while
not rich, is a man Of Independent
means. He is a man OF family.

ors, and with much better satisfaction
on both sides. 1t is an important
piece of work to start to build a
house that one expects to live In for
probably a number of years; and it
pays well to read up, and know for
certain whether things are just as
others represent them or not.
One point In making a cellar bot
tom that every one should know, is
the manner of leveling the ground.
A cellar bottom usually Is not put
in until after the first-foor joists are
In place. The joists, of course, are
level; and 1t Is easy to level the cellar
bottom to the joists by using a meas
nrtng stick of the proper length; but
the floor should be lower In one cor
ner, enough to drain readily. Every
cement cellar bottom should have a
drain to carry off the water when the
cellar is being cleaned. A clean cellar
Is necessary for health; and IL pro-
vision Is made for easy washing when
the cellar is built, the cleaning will
be done much oftener than 1t will be
IL this %precaution Is neglected.
Another point that should be re-
membered Is the cement top surface.
which should be about three-Quarters
of an inch thick, composed Of cement.
one part to three parts clean. sharp
sand, first thoroughly mixed dry, then
thoroughly mixed wet, enough so that
water will follow the trowel in
smoothing. This coat should be put
on the concrete foundation while the
concrete is still damp; otherwise 1t
may not stick properly. and you will
have a floor that sounds hollow.
Another point in cement construc-
ton is the opportunity to make the
cellar window stills of cement. and to
imbed the frames thoroughly and
carefully in the wall. In the northern
parts Of the country, where the cold
is extreme. this precaution will help
a great deal In making a frost-proof
cellar.

Girl Wants Clear Title.

Sioux Falls.-Josephine Ashley has
instituted in the probate court in this
city what promises to be an unusual
ly interesting will contest case. The
contest involves the 100000 estate Of
her father. The will of the father left
the estate to his second wife during
her life time, and provided that after
her death the remainder be divided
among IL children, with a proviso that
the share of Josephine Ashley be held
in trust. 1t is to this proyiso that
Josephine Ashley objects. In her
contest of the will she alleges that
the instrument was made under undue
influence and by fraud. A previous
will provided for practically the same
distribution Of the property, but did
not provide for placing the contest
ants share in trust. If the contest 81
successful the original will would be
in effect, and this is the purpose Of
her suit.

Roosevelt viii Visit State.

Sioux Falls.-Col. Theodore Roose-
volt will visit South Dakota during
the early part Of September and will
deliver two addresses in the state at
that time. His first address will be at
the state fair at Huron and he will de-
liver another address at some city In
the First district, but the place has
not been decided upon yet. Sioux
Falls has been mentioned as a proper
place for the holding Of the second
meeting to hear the leader. but Mitch

This makes q very solid stone wall,
and a splendid foundation for the &C.
ment blocks.
One difficulty that has now been
overcome is the designing OF cement
blocks which fit In around windows
and doors, and which match right at
the corners without the necessity OF
making a whole lot Of blocks Of spe-
cial sizes. Cement blocks are large,
compared with brick; and the wall
goes up quickly when everything goes
together right; but when you have
to stop and chisel blocks t. fit, then
the expense for labor mounts at a
lively rate.
Before signing the contract, find out
positively Il the builders know exactly
how to design and manufacture blocks

of hoboes. What these Weary VIII

get there any bulged canned goods or

MeadoW.-DaVld Sims OF Inland

fully dodge a stroke of lightning, but
now is convinced that he did that very
thing. While driving along the road
Mr.. Sims suddenly dropped down into
the bottom of his double q box
to pick up a whip which he had drop
ped. Just as he dropped down a bolt
OF lightning shot over his head, killing
one of the horses and stunning the
other. At the time he supposed that
both horses had been killed. SO he
trudged home or foot. The next day
he returned and vas surprised to find
that n of the horses was uniriured

A cement block house 25 feet long

is given in this plan. The first &C.
ment block houses were expensive and
unsatisfactory, because no one knew
how to make the blocks or how to
avoid the many little difficulties that
presented themselves. Mechanical in
knowledge Of mixing cements, gravel,
broken stone, and cinders, with i'm
proved block-making machines, have
simplified matters until it is now
quite possible to build a better house
Of cement, for less money, than the
ordinary wooden houses cost.
OF course there are many side is
sue which affect this general state
ment. In some parts Of the country,
the right kind of sand and stone is
abundant; in other places 1t must be
brought from a distance. In cement
construction, one of THE greatest prob.
lens is the cost Of teaining the heavy
materials necessary to make the
blocks; but there are locations where
the block machine may be set down
or the lot on which the houses Is to
be built, and the gravel or sand from
the cellar excavation used in the mix
ture that goes through the block ma
chine. In a case of this kind, the
only teaming necessary is for delivery

joists and lumber necessary for the

for the roof.
In building a cement block house
where stone is plentiful, it is a good
plan to lay up a stone wall to the
grade line, and to plaster the wall on
the outside with a layer of cement
mortar to keep the dampness from
the ground from striking through into
the cellar. The top of this stone wall
also receives a coat Of cement mortar;
in fact the stones that compose the
walls are laid In cement, and the in
terstices are filled with spalls en-
bedded In the soft cement mortar.

WAR NOTES

LONDON, Frederic Harrison, in the Times, says: "The abominable crimes against humanity and civilization call for the condign reproduction of the civilized world. The German military civil order is responsible for the poisoning of the moral sense of the German nation.
 "The Germans have adopted the in- fernal code that"Might is Right" and, under the influence of this inverted doctrine, their millions have commit ted enormities which would be hor- rible to the Dahomey African savages.
 Iet us hear no more whining about German culture. Let us make the world ring with our sense of horror. When the allies finally shall crush the monstrous brute, if indeed they choose that he survive, he should be submitted to the degradation of Drey- fus. In the presence of the allies, his blood-stained sword should be broken, and the uniforms from his craven back should be filled with the odor and stamped by the mire of Devils Island prison, which should be his dwelling place and his grave. The German people will then understand how the civilized world feels about their mod ern Attila, the new scourge of God"

LONDON.-After the naval battle of Heligoland, German prisoners were found suffering from wounds caused by revolver bullets. The wounds were caused, it is declared, by German of ficers, who at the point of the re- volver, were preventing their men from surrendering to the British.
 Count von Schwerin, one of the prisoners, was chained hands and feet because he refused to give word not to try to escape. He carried a sword given to him by the emperor, of whom he is a nephew.

The members of the Steffanson eX- petition stayed at Nome during a great part of last summer and had become almost as familiar as the real brand of NomeiteS. Nearly the whole outfit for the expedition was purchas- ed at Nome and meant the eXpendi- ture of tens of thousands of dol lars. Many of the men who have per ished so miserably were guests at dinner at the Log Cabin club on the evening before they left so that their deaths are a real local calamity. Mrs. Murray, wife of one of the members of the expedition, accompanied her husband to Nome and returned to Canada after a most touching fare well. She was a grey-haired lady who seemed to cling to the husband to the last moment before he went in- to the Arctic. He was one of the men who never reached the island. The chances are that those who failed to reach the island were carried out on the ice to die by slow torture under the most appalling circumstances. Joe Bernard, who with Louis Lane says that Steffanson must be dead, is a brother of Pete Bernard, captain of one of the Steffansor expedition ships, the Mary Sachs.
