QUEEN DisLIkEs SHOOTING.

Queen Mary makes no secret Of
the fact that she cares nothing for
sport. This season she has not
joined the "guns" even once at
luncheon.
Nor does Princess Mary like to see
animals killed. Some years ago,
when the Prince of Wales first start
ed shooting, he begged his sister to
come and admire his prowess. She
went, but the sight of the birds fall
ing made her i'll, and forthwith she
decided the moors were no place for
her.

LOUIS M. OSBORN
ATTORNEY AT LAW
First National Bank Building
VIRGINIA, MINNESOTA
FOR ONE Representative
DIST District

FELLOW CITIZENS
The work of our next legislature is
expected to be of supreme Importance,
to Northern Minnesota particularly.
Attic 1 believe my three and half
years service with the Attorney Gen.
eral, just prior to coming here in 1907
may be of some value, my friends and
neighbors will have to speak as to my
fitness for the position now sought.
If elected, shall endeayor to repre-
sent the entire district impartially.l
Our greatest need is roads, more
roads. All road money collected in
this district should be spent in our
Immediate vicinity. We can then re-
duce the taxes and still have larger
funds than at present. What do we
care for Floodwood? Let them pay,
their own road bills, just as we and all
parts Of the state now do. Laws will
regulate this.
Equally important is the need of
finding some way in which worthy
and industrious settlers can borrow
on their lands the few hundred dollars
needed to improve their homes. If
some such lending agency can be de-
vised, prosperous self-supporting farm
homes will increase at a marvellous
rate. Dozens of sturdy pioneers can
now borrow nothing, although the
security is excellent.
Having made no pledges, / shall be
glad to receive suggestions on any
matter that may come up. so that, If
elected, I may, insofar as pos
sible, really represent you and each Of
you. l believe in progress, rapid pro-
gress, and shall favor better condi-
tions for the wage-earner, the farmer
and the shop-keeper.

 The Mexican populace and garrison were greatly excited by the appearance of the American man of war. A navy department statement tonight said:
 Troops (Mexican) were hurriedly sta tened to resist an expected landing and four field guns were brought to bear. Lieutenant Jenson says the commanding general has guaranteed the safety of Americans and that as an additional pre- caution the American consul yesterday sent all Americans to plantations five and 10 miles down the coast He reports that 90 Americans desire Transportation north. Photographic communication was interrupted and additional troops are be- ing enlisted by the commanding gen. eral

Department Officials Are Optimistic Over Develop ments-Hope Real War
 May Be Averted
ATTENTION GIVEN RESTORING ORDER
 AT VERA CRUZ
Achievements Rushed to Border to Protect People From Unexpected Assault-General Carranza
 Is Invited to Re-
 main Neutral

Washington, April 2i.-While the attention of the American govern ment for the most part today was concentrated on restoring order at Vera Cruz and expediting the de- parture of Americans from Mexico, watchful eye was trained on the international boundary between Mex icO and the United States for any signs of hostility from Mexican con stitutionalists.
 President Wilson and his cabinet had long meeting, after which optimism was conspcuously apparent, both in their demeanor and informal discussion of tho situation. There was no particular de- velopment to which the feeling of hope fulness that real war would be averted could be traced, but General Villas friendly announcement it was admitted had impressed many officials here with the possibility that the constitutonalists would remain neutral while the American government sought reparation from Huerta.
 Other officials were not so sanguine and the army moved with precision and swiftness to protect the American boun- diary and reinforce the eNpeditionary force of marines and bluejackets at Vera

ADVISE CARRANZA
 TO REMAIN NEUTRAL

Conferences at the state department be- tween Secretary Bryan and representa- tives Of the Mexican constitutionalists resulted in the dispatch to General Car ranza of telegram by the latter, strong ly advising him to remain neutral and assuring hlm that the Americans intend- ed to withdraw their forces from Mexico just as soon as Huerta had made sat isfactory reparation for offenses. The ad- vice given Carranza lere was that by assuming hostile attitude he would draw all Mexico into N war; Huerta would he perpetuated and the eonstitutionalist cause lost.
 Four countries. among them France and Spain, came forward with inquiries to the United states about possible means of mediation between the Huerta govern ment and the United States, but Secre- tary Bryan said these advances could not be described as 'overtures' and ne was inclined to attach little importance to them The position of the American government Is firm, chat an oHense against its dignity and national honor has been committed and that 1t must enforce reparaton from Hucrta.
 Signs of uneasiness abroad because the United States, though not having de- clared a blockade or a state of war, is exercising jurisdiction at Vera Cruz be- tween measures short of war" and act ual war became apparent today. Cabinet officials said no attempt would he made to interfere with the ,egular channels of commerce anywhere cargoes being al lowed to land at all points.
 Munitions of war alone will be held at the Vera Cruz customs house if landed. ~>>>-~>>~----->->>-~>-~>--~-->->
