IRISH REVOLT IN HOUSE.
Discussion on Home Rule Tried by Ma
tionalists.

London, July 27.--The first symptoms
of the expected Irish revolt in the House
| Of Commons as consequence of the
deadlock over the Lloyd George negotia-
tions broke out Tuesday night on the
report stage OF series of votes on sup
ply bills. In the ordinary course this
would have been purely formal pro.
ceeding. The House was nearly empty
and handful of Nationalist members
twice seized the opportunity to attempt
to discuss in general manner the rule
in Ireland. When they were declared
out of order by the speaker they twice
demanded division, forcing the govern
ment to summon members from the lob
bies for a vote.
Asquith Trying to Find Way Out.
Earlier a statement was made by Pre-
mier Asquith to the effect that the parts
of the home rule agreement approved by
John Redmond, the Nationalist leader,
and Sir Edward Carson, the Unionist
leader in Ulster, would be published as
soon as possible, and that if there was
a general desire on the part OF the House,
the premier would offer facilities for an
other discussion of the home rule ques
ton. Premier Asquith conferred pri-
vately with David Lloyd George, sec
rotary for war; Arthur j. Balfour, first
lord OF the admiralty, and Andrew Bonar
Law, secretary for the colonies. After
this conference Mr.. Asquith went to tine
palace for conference with the king
which is supposed to have been connect
with the Irish difficulty. A number of
informal conferences between the party
leaders also were held Tuesday.

attention again yesterday to working
out the itinerary for Mr.. Hughes west

yesterday noon that the railroad sched-
ule has been completed satisfactorily,
but that he would have to hear from a
few western cities regarding speaking
arrangements before he could make any
definite announcement. The itinerary
may be made public to-day.
Among Mr.. Wilcox visitors Yesterday
were Edward c. Potter, G. p. Bishop of
Salem, Ore, a member of the notifica

port was called to the attention of Chair

heard of it.

A Request.

The time for our annual cleanup
is now here. Much good work has
already been done, but much still re-
mains to be done before our city
looks as it should. In place Of clean
up day, let us have cleanup week,
beginning April Gath and ending on
April 29th, inclusive. Every good
citizen ought to have pride enough to
look after removing their own filth
and rubbish. However, some have
not and to make the cleanup the
success it ought to be 1 am going to
ask every member of the several
clubs in the city to select three or
four blocks in their immediate vicin-
ity and personally see that every one
in those blocks are reminded of their
duty. Also suggest many better
things to them that will add to the
beauty of the city. Nearly every tree
in Leon needs trimming. Run the top
up. Let in the air. You will be
pleased with the results.

Mrs, George Cox Struck by Auto.

An unfortunate accident occurred
in front of the tabernacle last Sum
day evening when Mrs. George Cox,
of southwest of Leon, was struck by
A. l.. Ackerley's auto and sustained a
slight cut on the forehead and sever
al bruises. Mr.. Ackerley was driving
his car at a very low rate of speed,
scarcely moving. Another car was
coming from the north and the lights
blinded Mr.. Ackerley and Mrs. Cox,
who in watching the car from the
north stepped or stumbled and fell in
front of Mr.. Ackerley's car, being
struck ny the fender No blame
could be attached to anyone. Mrs.
Cox was brought to the Leon hospi-
tai and her injuries were dressed
and she was able to return home the
same evening. There was large
number of cars in front of the tab
ernacle, the street being congested,
and everybody is feeling good that
Mrs. Cox escaped any serious injury.

Fifth Episode of 1.-THE Strange Case
of Mary Page.''

The fifth episode of the great SER
ial, "The Strange Case of Mary Page"
will be shown at the Idle Hour the
atre today, with the regular S cent
matinee at 8 o'clock, and the first
night show at o'clock, the price for
the night shows being and 10 cents.
This strange story is proving most
fascinating one. Mary is on trial for
her life, and neither she not her at
torney and sweetheart, Philip Lang
don, knows whether she really shot
Dave Pollock, the man she despised,
or not, and the attorney is introduce
ing evidence to show that Mary Page
suffered from attacks of temporary
insanity. Perhaps after all Mary
Page did slay Dave Pollock. If she
didn't, who did? Have you solved the
mystery yet?

W. G. STARR BADLY INJURED.
Former Reporter Employe Will Prob
ably BE Crippled for Life as Re-
suit of Accident i'm Des MOines.

We have received letter from
w. G.. Starr, who was for several
years foreman of The Reporter Office,
who moved to Des Moines in Janu-
ary, giving the particulars of an acci-
dent which he met with on the morn
ing of April 1st. Since going to Des
Moines Mr.. Starr has been employed
in the Homestead Office, and while
passing through hall on his way to
the composing room, large radiator
fell over on him, badly crushing his
left foot His cries brought fellow
rushed to the Methodist hospital
where the physicians took an X-ray
photo of his foot which showed that
practically every bone from the ankle
down was broken, but the bones in
his toes were not hurt much. The
foot was in such shape that nothing
could be done at that time and he
was placed in a ward where he re-
manned until Sunday, when he was
operated upon in the hope Of saving
his foot, no amputa ,ion being made
at this time, his foot being placed in
a plaster cast, and he was taken to
his home on Tuesday. He writes he
is resting very we'll under the circum-
stances, but at times the pain in his
foot is terrible. The doctor in charge
cannot tell what the outcome will be,
as it may be that amputation may
have to be performed at the ankle.
The radiator which caused the ac-
cident was one which had been taken
from another part of the building,
an EXTRA large one One of the legs
had been broken from the radiator
and it had been blocked up against
the partition wall and Mr.. Starr did
not know but what the radiator was
attached to the steam pipes. What
caused it to fall on him is not known
He has retained an attorney who will
shortly commence an action for dam
ages against the owner of the build
ing, alleging carelessness in leaving
the radiator so that it could fall over

Installed New Refrigerator Meat
Case.

w. D. Pleuss this week installed a
new refrigerator display meat case
in his up-to-date meat market, which
is the very best thing in this article.
The new case extends across the en-
tire front of the shop, end the top is
used as counter. 1t is all glass and
white enamel, and the meats are
right in plain sight, and can be kept
at the right temperature and abso-
lutely sanitary. In the center is a
big ice compartment, and the iced
air travels through both ends of the
case, the cold air forming circula-
ton by forcing the warm air to the
top and there is ample display room.
