This magnificent building was erected.
it is said, to show Frederick's enemies
that his many wars had not exhausted
his exchequer. And further to show
his contempt for the countries which
had sought to crush him at the top of
the cupola he placed a group of three
women dancing together. the figuring
representing Catherine the Great, Md
ria Theresa and Nine. de Pompadour.
The wrath of the two expresses was
unbounded at finding themselves de-
picted in such an attitude and such
company. so Frederick was able to con-
graduate himself on a thoroughly Sue
cessful joke.

plane to Columbus, N. M, March %.
Evidence that Francisco Villa is pre-
paring to resist the American pursuing
columns and that the Mexican people
are not as yet rallying to him, has
been collected by the officers and the
scouts of the American troops. Gen.
'eral J. J. Pershing announced the es-
adjustment of new base in the pur-
suit of Villa. The second base is much
nearer the location where the bandit
is reported in preciptate retreat than
the old base at field headquarters.
Ell Paso, Tex, March 2S.-Pursuit
of Francisco Villa has developed into
a race between cavalrymen of the
United States and the fleeing bandits
mounted on the wonderful Mexican
ponies.
According to dispatches from the
front Villa. has completely broken
through the Carranzistas' line and is
fleeing southwark, with the American
troopers straining every nerve to
catch up with him before he reaches
the grim and forbidding mountain
wastes in his ancient haunts in the
Guerrero district
The one hope Of speedy termina-
ton to the chase is that the flight of
the bandits will be checked by starva-
ton and the exhaustion of their
ponies. 1t is known that Villa is al
most destitute of both supplies and
ammunition and the dead and dying
horses found along his trail give
mute but eloquent testimony to his
desperate haste and need.
Once safely in the midst of the Sier-
ra Tarahumares the task of running
the bandit to his lair will have be-
come of tremendous difficulty. This
country is inhabited by the Tarahu-
mare Indians, one of the most distinc-
tive tribes in Mexico.
Brigadier General Pershing expects
1T will take months to capture Villa
Returning Mexican refugees are
unanimous in the belief that Villa
never will be taken.
Villa and his band are moving rap
idly among the foothills of Sierra Tara
1umares, hotly pursued by three COL
umns of American cavalry.
Villa scattered his command in his
flight southwark and at one time, it
is said, led only a small force of fif-
teen or twenty men.

Board Of Supervisors In Meeting Here
Finds That This Gratulty
Has Been
Abused.
CHANGE IN COURT HOUSE
Alteration Will be Made In Toilet
Here In Effort to Mako
Conditions More
Sanitary.

The discontinuance Of several
widows pensions was ordered by the
board of supervisors at meeting held
here today. The board discussed some
changes in lie toilet on the first floor
of the court house, and talked over
the condition Of road and bridge
between Croton and Belfast. Edmund
L. Perkins, head Of the Edmund T.
Perkins Engineering company was
here, and met with the board this
afternoon.
The discontinuance Of the widows
pensions was made necessary by the
board finding that this gratuity was
being abused in some cases. The
supervisors have ordered some of the
pensions at Fort Madison to be cut
off, and take the same stand In the
matter here.
The board authorizes some changes
in the toilet room in the court house.
Inc old urinal will be changed and
two new ones installed with tile
floor. This change, it is believed, will
do away with much Of the odor which
comes from the toilet, especially in
Tie summer time. A partition viii be
changed in the installation of these
new fixtures, and the toilet will be
made considerably more modern.
The board was also considering the
matter Of the road between Croton
and Belfast. 1t is up to the town
ship to keep the highway and the
board takes care of the bridge. The
bridge is out, and there seems to be
no road.
