ARMY OF MEXICO TO
 BE RE-ORGANIZED

MEXICO CITY. April 25.-It has been announced here that a reorgan- .zation plan will be placed in effect in the Mexican army. By this plan the army corps of the north, southeast. east and southwest will be abolished md the army redivided into divisions and brigades. This will tend to bring the army units more closely under the direct orders of the secretary of war.
 The pay of the Mexican soldiers has been increased so that privates now receive about fifty cents day. Out of his pay the Mexican soldier must feed himself.

CANADA PUT WHEAT
 ON THE FREE LIST

! OTTAWA. Ont. April 25.--The government has placed wheat, wheat flour and Semolina on the free list. thus opening United States mar kets to Canada and Canadian mar kets to the United States in these pro- ducts.
 Under the reciprocal clause of tn" American tariff, the United States will admit free wheat and wheat products of any country which admits Ameri- can wheat without duty. The Cana dian tariff has hitherto denied this privilege.
 The order is due to difficulty of export abroad owing to shortage of ocean tonnage and the fact that the British market has been virtually closed for Canadian wheat of lower grade.
 The duties removed are 10 cents a bushel on wheat and 40 cents barrel on flour.

COMMITS SUICIDE AFTER
 FAILURE OF MIRACLES

COLUMBIA, Miss, April 25.- Chagrined over their failure to work miracles, Steve Reagon and his wife, Lucy, devout members of the Holy Rollers sect, committed suicide here last week.
 Reagon produced a rattlesnake in a Holy Roller meeting Monday night and announced to the congregation that the rattler would not bite him because he was sanctified. The snake evidently backslidden or was not post ed as to the part it was supposed to play. for when tormented by Reagon it drove it's fangs into his flesh twice. and had to be pried apart from his anatomy. It took two doctors four hours to save Reagon's life. Mrs. Reagon brooded over the fail ure of her husbands miracle and took poison and died. A few hours later Reagon. convinced of his failure as a snake charmer. killed himself 1 Ey the same method.
