TRY TO KILL CAR OF RUSSIA
Royal Special Escapes, But
Passenger Train is Wrecked.

London Extermination of Gar
Nicholas of Russia and his whole fam
lily by dynamite was attempted by an
archists near Tschudnow, according
to special dispatches received here
from st. Petersburg
A st. Petersburg mail train which
preceded the imperial train carrying
the car and his family was blown up
near Tscudnow while the royal fam
lily in their train was only a short
distance behind. So great was the
force of the explosion that several
coaches of the passenger train were
shattered, two passengers killed and
twenty-eight injured.
The police are searching the dis
trict near where the attempt was
made. No doubt is entertained in ST.
Petersburg secret service headquar
tiers that the design of the plotters
was to slay the whole imperial fam
lily with the one explosion.
Terror which for years is known
to have made the life OF the Czarina
almost a constant nightmare is re-
ported to have caused her utter col
lapse when the fact of the narrow es-
cape from death was communicated

BEEF FAMINE NEAR
RanChmen of Southwest Slow
to Begin Shipping Stock
to Market.
SLAUGHTER BELOW NORMAL
Far Less Than Capacity
Prices Are Reasonable.

Kansas City.-Buyers of cattle from
the dressed beef houses say a tenn
porary beef famine threatens Kansas
City and vicinity, its duration depend
ing on the will of the ranch owners
in the great grazing sections to the
west and southwest.
The slaughter of cattle in Kansas
City has been far below normal for
some time past, but reached an acute
stage when fewer than 1900 cattle
have gone to the six big dressed beef
concerns in four days, or no more
than enough to supply the state of
Missouri a full beef ration for two
days. Last weeks slaughter of cattle
was less than half that of the cor
responding week a year ago.
Slaughter Far Less Than Capacity.
The capacity of Kansas City slaugh-
ter houses is $4,000 cattle daily and
the plants have had less than one
seventh of this number in the past
few days.
In four days the five western mar
kets received only $4,000 cattle, com
pared with $4,000 cattle year ago,
a decrease of SO per cent. In the first
five and one-half months this year the
same markets received 100000 fewer
cattle than in the same period of 1913,
a decrease of II per cent. This short
age of meat has been increased fur
Their by the unusually light weight of
cattle this year, due to the scarcity
of feed.
Killers say prices for cattle have
been kept within bounds owing to the
unusually small use of beef. They say
the consumption of mutton has in
creased, while pork and beef have de-
creased, thus keeping prices of cattle
and hogs lower than expected and
prices of sheep higher.
Receipts Depend Upon Grazing.
Increased receipts, commission men
say, depend entirely on the grazing
sections to the west and southwest OF
Kansas City. Thus far this season
that movement, which should be well
under way, is far below normal, prac-
tically the only grass fat cattle re
ceived coming from Texas below the
quarantine line.

A SENATOR ACCUSES BRYAN
Says Nicaragua is Being Looted by
Bankers Under Protection of
State Department.

Washington, D. C-That the State
Department has been actively aiding
Brown Brothers and SeIigman, Speyer
& Company, bankers, in collecting
claims against Nicaragua was a
charge made in a resolution By Sena-
tor William Alden Smith of Michigan.
Senator Smith declared seizure Of
Nicaraguan ports by American ma
rines and domination of custom houses
and receipts enabled the bankers to
force the present Nicaraguan govern
ment to redeem at par with enormous
profits to the bankers bonds issued by
the so-called "Ethelburga' syndicate
Senator Smith charged that these
bonds were illegally issued and that
their collection, with the assistance Of
the State Department, is a fraud upon
the Nicaraguan people.

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee

Many cases Of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use Of coffee
1t is said that in Arabia where cot
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
A n. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
My son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds OF
glasses without relief The optician
said there was defect IN his eyes
which was hard TO reach.
He used to drink coffee, as We all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
I was always fond of tea and coffee
and finally became so nervous / could

dftion 1 thought I might die at any
time.
Medicine did not give me- relief
and was almost desperate. II was.

MEDIATORS MAY
END CONFERENCE
Efforts to Settle Mexican At.
fairs Will Cease Unless
Huerta Men Yield.
AMERICANS STANDING FIRM
United States Delegates Still Insist
That Man for Provisional Presi-
dent Must Be Acceptable to
ConStitutionaiists.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-Justice La
mars memorandum to Emilio Rabasa,
head of the Mexican delegation an
nouncing that the United States
must insist on the acceptance OF it's
plan for the pacifcation of Mexico,
is an ultimatum- Unless the Huerta
delegates yield, mediation will end.
This is the firm determination Of
the United States as it was conveyed
to the mediators. Ambassador Da
Cana of Brazil and Minister Suarez
of Chile asked the American dele
gates if their position had changed in
view of the Carranza-Villa split. and
the reply was in the negative. 1t was
an informal talk, but served to advise
the mediators that the published
statements of the American and Huer
to delegates, with their opposite views
on the type OF. man to be selected for
provisional president, defined clearly
the unalterable attitude of the Amer
lean government.
Just what the policy OF the United
States would be in the event of the
failure of mediation or what DISPOSE
ton it would make of the American
troops at Vera Cruz, is unknown to
the American delegates. The Huerta
commissioners say they do not know
what course General Huerta may pur-
sue
Wilson Would See 1t End.
Those conversant with the Ameri-
can viewpoint, however, believe Pres
ident Wilson is determined that, in
asmuch as there could not be pacifica-
ton in Mexico unless the Constitu-
tionalists accepted any plan that
might be adopted, the interests of
peace would not be conserved by a
continuance of mediation negotia-
tions
Rejection by the Americans of the
mediators' plans as we'll as that Of
fered by the delegates will be record
ed, as a matter of form, together with
disapproval by the Mexicans Of the
American plan. Automatically that
would adjourn the conference, accord
ing to the rules of procedure adopted
when they first convened
The mediators still have some
names to suggest for provisional pres
ident but have little hope that an
agreement can be reached, as none of
the names appears to satisfy the con-
ditiOns set forth in the published
statements of the two delegations.
