MEXICANS CIV-
 ING TROUBLE
Sack of Brownsville Has Been Decided UuOn, General Funston Reports.
 He Urges Prompt Action.

l San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 14.-FCllOW' ling startling evidence laid before Gen
 eral Frederick Funston, commanding
 the Southern department, by a com.
 mittee headed by Congressman Johr
 Garner, General Funston announced
 that the committee had thoroughly es-
 tablished it's contention that the dis
 order in the Rio Grande valley had been fosstered by constituted Mexican authorities.
 Affidavits were submitted to the War Department to the eeffct that date had been set by the Mexicans for the sacking of Brownsville.
 Talks of Prompt Action. General Funston admitted that up to the time of the conference he did not believe the outlawry in the valley was receiving it's hacking from the Mexican side. But upon presentation of the evidence he said he was convin- ced the committee possessed infor- nation which warranted prompt ac- tion.
 Submitting further proof of the re- port that General Nafarrete, the Car ranza commander at Matamoros, had would plant the Mexican flag on top of the Brownsville postotfice, affida- wits were shown General Funston.
 Awaits Word From Washington.
 While given authority to order such additional troops as he deemed neces- sary General Funston decided to ccm- municate with Washington, and orders were issued at once to dispatch artl- lery to the Rio Grande valley. With the evidence and the United Stat es army is preparing to forestall we'll organized plans of constituted Mexi- can authorities.
 The new troops in the field will be the Twenty-sixth Regiment of infan- try from Texas City, Colonel R. L. Bullard commanding; Batteries B. and E of the Fifth Artillery from Fort Sill, and one earoplane from Fort Sill. Battery B, both the artillery detach- ments, are equipped with heavy field pieces, Battery B having four Finch howitzers and Battery E regular field pieces of the same dimension. The ordinary field piece of the American army is approx mately three inches in diameter.
 -- Not Large Force.
 With the exception of the infantry this will be the same force less one artillery battery, that was at Browns vile three months ago, when the town was threatened by the battle between Villistasa nd Carranzistas at Matamo- rOs.
 Late reports from Brownsville say that the Carranza forces along the border at Matamoras have ? batteries eight pieces of artillery of the French 75-millimeter model, which ceres ponds roughly to the American three inch piece. There are about 800 Mexican soldiers in the garrison be- tween Camargo and MatamOros, distance of 100 miles, It is said that should Obregon decide to cooperate with Nafarrette the artillery strength could be trebled within "A hours and the number cf men increased to 4,000 or 5000

FOR CuCUNBERs ONLY
Florence County VIII Allow no Ad-
ditional .Pickle Factories

In reply TO several items that ap-
peared In these columns and In the
Iron Riyer-Stambeugh Reporter the
Mining News says:
"Say wouldn't these worrying ar
ticles Jar you? Rough necks' Inc
briates. Why there is Just as much
difference between Florence and Iron
County as between day and night and
Just as much difference between the
saloons of the two IL is a well known
fact that the saloons in Florence are
more orderly. better regulated, and II
we may say. are conducted by better
class of inn keepers than those of Iron
County. It's seldom that any trouble
occurs in the saloons here and as
long as conditions remain as they are
Florence will remain wet. We do not
have county option In Wisconsin but
local option.
"The voting OF Iron County dry will,
OF course. make the local saloonkeep-
ers more careful. and we are sure that
the liquor laws from now on will be
obeyed and enforced even more close
ly, but conditions have been fairly
satisfactory In the past And, II any
sports from across the line think they
are coming down here for time,
raise h----, and run the town, they
are badly mistaken, try II once and
see OF. course, they are welcome to
come, but they will have to conduct
themselves same as the people here
do-as gentlemen. Even If some OF
us are rough necks' etc, we believe
in decency and enforcement OF the
laws. We imagine that after the first
of the month that 1t will keep the
Iron County officials mighty busy in
enforcing the dry law, without both
ering or trying TO dictate as to what
Florence County should DO,
about establishing road houses and
cross roads saloons, we haven't heard
of any being established. nor do we
think that any will be allowed to
open. AS for blind pigs, resi- assured
that they will not be tolerated here,
and If any should slip in, they will
get the hook at once for we have
a set OF officials and officers that can
use that hook too.
Gee whiz, from the talk going on in
Iron County, one \would think that
Florence will permit road house or
saloon to be established every half
mile or so, and that the county road
will be a regular Midway or Bow
cry Just get that bee out Of your
bonnet for there will be nothing do
ing We have. as the Drill calls
them, twelve pickle factories, and
we may have one more, but It will be

the tenth of a second. Then, with a
yell, he was upon his feet, out
through the glass of the window,
which fell in spInters all about him,
and speeding with all his might for
the hillside. And just as Emma and
Miss Cavendish turned to run Cupid
caught them.
IT'S a Hep he cried. There was a
look of triumph upon the fellows
face. 1.-THE dam-the dam hasn't
burst and never wiIl!'
Emma said that for a moment
Miss Cavendish stood still, watching
his face. Then suddenly she put her
hands to her own and burst into hys-
terical tears and laughter. You see,
she had been brought to realization
of Cupid's motive at last, and a thou
sand little traits in Norman which
she had passed over, for loves sake,
were suddenly made clear. And
Cupid had saved her. But he never
told her what he knew about Nor
man. Nobody knew that Only it did
not matter, for Norman was never
seen in Little Falls again.
All that was three years ago. Gu
pid still has his job and it's likely to
be permanent, for little Muriel Smith
dotes on him, and when he isn't CIV
ing her rides on the pony he's telling
her fairy tales. Smith? Well-you
see, Rev. Aloysius happened to meas
ure up to Miss Cavendish's ideal and,
as he says, Cupid was his mascot. So
there isn't much likelihood of Gu
pid's face hurting him any more. In
fact, it really proved to be his for
tune.

'Tn have you arrested for blackmail.

man" answered Cupid YEARLY. you
are relying on nly~not daring to bring
my Wife's name intONcOurt. Maybe
you are right up to a certain point,
but not when it comes to sacrificing
a woman like Miss Cavendish."
What Norman answered Emma
could not hear, but she saw Cupid
clench his fists and Norman start
away. And, as Cupid watched him
stink by there was a queer look on
the mans ugly face. It almost
seemed as though he realized Nor
man was a coward and was medita-
ting about it.
IF the dam don't burst tomorrow
she can't, i" Joe Rogers had said, and
every one repeated it. The key to
the solid wall of masonry was to be
swung into position the next day.
Some had said that the laying of the
great blocks had disturbed the fOun-
dations of the old dam, but Joe ridi-
culed that After 10 at night the fol-
lowing day the dam couldn't burst
unless an earthquake struck it, he in
sisted. People grew little nervous
as the evening wore away. Black
Emma had heard Miss Cavendish
laughingly tell Mr.. Norman, who was
visiting her that evening, and she
said the man seemed scared when
Miss Cavendish told him. their house
stood right in the line the torrent
would take.
Only Emma saw what happened at
the house that night and we have to
rely on her. It seems that Norman
was within half an hour of depart
ing-the two had been reading some
book together = when Cupid rushed
into the living room without the pre-
iminary of a knock.

The village of White Bear, in which
is located the church of St. Marys
of the Lake, is beautifully situated on
the shore of White Bear Lake. Con-
sisting originally of little settlement
of railroad men in the employ of the
local railroad, and few scattered
farmers, it has now developed into the
present fourishing community of some
1900 population, with its varied as
sortment of business houses and local
enterprises of all descriptions.
The members of the parish of ST.
Mary's of the Lake have always borne
a very large share in the work of de-
velopment, whether religious, social
or commercial.
The parish limits, however, extend
far beyond the mere village limits.
Noted for it's sailing and rowing at
fractions, its fish, and it's beautiful
residences, the lake is now very pop
ular and populous summer resort.
Close to St. Paul and Saltwater, with
ample railroad and street car facili-
ties, it is drawing to itself large sum-
mer population, owning their perma-
nent summer residences, which are oc-
cupied for from four to six months
every summer by lovers of the lake
and of the beauties of nature.
In the village we have the president
of the village council, Peter Four
nellie, also a member of the c. 0. F.
and K. c., engaged in the automobile
business, and long secretary of the
parish board of trustees.
At the head of the local post office
is Lorenzo J. Markoe, connected close
ly with the growth of the parish from
the early days before the present par
ish had any actual existence. AS viii
lage clerk and member of the village
council he worked quietly and unob-
trusively, but none the less effectively,
for first the reduction of the number
of saloons in the parish limits; second,
the reduction of the area within which
the saloons were confined, and third,
for the proper regulation and control
