were fireworks in the evening. Later
many went by the Pape trail, the Dur
kee trail, now used by Galatians being
comparatively recent The improve
ments on the mountain are due to the
Cancels Hump club, which is now
strong organization and will do much to
make Cameps Hump day success. On
Tuesday among the party who came from
Burlington and made the ascent from

AUSTRIAN TROOPS CUT
Off FROM KAISER'S ARMY
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS SUCCEED IN
DRIVING WEDGE AND COL
LAPSE is EXPECTED.

LONDON Military critics claim
the Russians have accomplished the
isolation of the Austrians from the
German armies on the eastern front
by the driving of a wedge into the
Austro-G German positions along the
Kovel Vladimir olynski line. The
view is held here that if the Germans
have thus accepted the severance
from the Austrians the most decisive
result of the whole of General Brus-
siloff's strategy will have been OBJ
tanned, it being argued that without
German support the Austrian armies
will become demorahZed and col
lapse.
The critics say that the Austrian
forces between the Lipa and Dniester
rivers are doomed.
There has been no confirmation of
the report received in Rome that Ko-
vel and Vladimir olynski have been
evacuated, but the Italian capital IS
usually well informed on Russian
news.
Black With Retreating Armies.
A correspondent with the Russian
forces reported that the roads to
Kovel are "black with the retreating
enemy"
Exactly where Gen. Brussiloff's
next blow will fall is not known.
The Russians and Austro-Germans
are virtually within the same distance
of both Kovel and Vladimri-Vol ynskl
and also are pressing closer toward
Lemberg.
The second anniversary of Ger
many's declaration of war on Russia
finds the relative positions of the bel.
ligerents very different from those OF
the first anniversary. The entente
allies now are pursuing a successful
offensive on all fronts and the CEN
trail powers are evirtually everywhere
on the defensive.
Emperor William celebrated the
occasion by the issuance of a proc
lamation to his army and navy and
people, which breathed a spirit of
continued confidence in ultimate VIC
tory for Germany.

MARRIAGE EXPENSES
TEN CENTS FOR ONE YEAR
Groom Spends Dime on His Bride in
Twelve Months.

Twelve Months.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.-Just one
year ago Col. Ty Boston, IA, and
Mrs. Ellen Mcclure, II, were mar
ried. Previous to marriage the par
ties entered into an ante-nuptial
written contract in which each
agreed that their title to their re-
spective estates and property was not
to be affected in any way by the
marriage. This settled objections
that children by previous marriages
on both sides had interposed to the
marriage.
Strict adherence to both the letter
as we'll as the spirit of the contract
has produced unexpected results.
Mrs. Boston has filed a petition in
Greene county circuit court asking
to be divorced from Col. Boston and
alleges non-support. She alleges
that he has only spent ten cents for
her during the whole year that they
have lived together as man and wife.
The community is anxious to see if
the trial will disclose what caused the
colonel to jar loose from his dime.
They are both pioneer citizens of the
county and own considerable pl0p-
erty and have many relatives.

Mexico is ideally pleasant, both win
ter and summer. The worst portion
of the country is the bleak and arid
northern portion.
The altitude of the great central
plateau gradually rises and the eli
mate changes accordingly. Most of
the larger cities of the country are
situated at attitudes of from 5000
to 1000 feet.
The gulf coast cities of Tampico,
Vera Cruz, Coatzacoalcos, Tuxpam
and Progreso are refreshed by cool
ing breezes. The same is true of the
Pacific coast cities of Guaymas, Ma
zatlan, Manzanillo, Acapulco and Sa-
lima Cruz.
The climate of the border towns of
Columbus, N. NJ, Douglas, Naco and
Nogales, Ariz., is not as unbearable
in summer as one who has not gone
through a living experience upon
that part of the border might eX-
pect.
1t is the mystery of the chapparel-
covered region of the lower Rio
Grande border that appeals most to
the average visitor to the frontier.
Upon both sides of the boundary
stream the mesquite trees, cat-claw,
prickly pear and innumerable other
varieties of thorny shrubs and plants
form an almost impenetrable wilder
ness.
1t is within the confines of this for
est that the bands of outlaws have
their lairs.
Running through the chapparel are
many narrow burro trails that cross
and recross each other and it is along
these routes that the border military
patrol patiently watch and wait for
some signal that will betray the pres
ence of the armed and willy Mexican.
1t is stated by army medical men
that it would be well if the men who
are sent to the border or in Mexico
should provide themselves with an
antidote for rattlesnake bites. The
reptiles are thick in the chapparel
region.
There are very few annoying in
sect pests in northern Mexico. In the
more tropical regions of the country
there are a number of insects which
cause painful wounds and often
breed sickness.

Rapid Advances.

New York.-A sensationally rapid
advance of about S1.75 per bale fol-
lowed the publication of the govern
ment's crop report in the cotton mar
ket here this morning. Just before
the official condition of 1878 per cent
against 81 last month and the ten
year average of 1875 was published a
canvass of local exchange members
indicated an average expectation of
1876 per cent, and the government
report was also far below the most
bullish of recent yrivate figures.
Prices had shown a tendency to
ease off during the early trading as a
result of more favorable weather and
lower cables with December contracts
selling down to $13.28, but within
ten minutes after the publication of
the report that month sold up to
1866, or 35 points above the low lev
ell over last nights closing quotations.
