The pursuit was halted to recover
the body, which bore many wounds
but was resumed Immediately under
orders to redouble efforts to capture
or kill the outlaws. The body was
taken to Cuernavaca and will be re-
moved to Mexico City.
A letter received Wednesday from
Rosenthal was turned over to the

messengers with the 10000 pesos in
gold meet them at u certain spot.
Mexican officials laid a trap for the
brigands which failed. Soldiers in
civilian clothes simulated the mes
sengers and ~carried a sack filled with
pieces of iron instead of gold. 1t was
planned to capture the bandits enVOyS
and force them TO guide the soldiers
to their camp. No details of the fail

had shown good faith in dispatching
a detachment of troops in pursuit as

had become known.
The abduction OF the New York
business man was the latest in the
long list of similar acts against Amer

Peppermint Oil Valuable.

Pure peppermint oil is so valuable
that the vaults of the Woodland State
Bank at Kelso. WASH, are used by
growers to store their product. The
price of the oil at the stills Is $40 a
pound. which makes a 5-gallon can
of 1t worth $4OO.
On the farm Of Alexander brothers,
who have 6o acres planted to pepper
mint. their still is turning out an aver
age of 40 gallons a day. An acre of

Quell Yaqui Rebellion,

MEN1CO CITY, September II CP).-
Among the wild and unconfirmed
rumorS circulating regarding the re-
bellion of the Yaqui Indians in the
State of SOn0ro is one to the effect
that Gen. Alvaro Obregon, former
President, has been killed by the
rebels.
Officially. nothing has been given
out except the declaration that troops
were being rushed to Sonoro with in
structiOns to eXterminate the Yaquis
unless they surrendered. Some off.
cials have privately admitted that the
Yaqui uprising presented "a serious
problem.
News dispatches from Mazatlan on
Wednesday said Gen Obregon was
delayed at Kilometer 93, a station on
the railway line to Cajeme, having
been on a train which was held up by
the Yaquis.
Passengers Arrive Safely.
In a telegram sent from Cajeme
he would be unable to attend the In
dependence day celebrat ton in Ma.
zatlan, but said it was his purpose
to see that all the passengers on the
train were conducted to safety

Cajeme to the effect that the passen-
gers detained aboard the Obregon
train had arrived safely at Navojoa

grams give no details regarding Gen.
Obregon, but report that quiet pre-

Trains Stop at Night.
Railway trains bound southwark

Yaqui region in daylight.
The dispatches add that the Yaqui

Mr., PuRVES DEGREES
n|vORCE EVIL and
SUGGESTS REMEDIES

AS Nero nddled when Rome was
hurnlng, SO the people Of America
.sem to be fiddling and joking when
sSer house is on fire."
such was the warning that Rev.
e.nart B. Purves, D. D., gave to the
gamblers Of the harrington Parent
rsacher Association at the Febru-
Nv meeting held Tuesday evening at
.hs school building. DIR. Purves dis
.,,ssed briefly the divorce evil, now
a. prevalent, and its bearing on the
bringing up Of children and the hap
pness Of homes.
IA quoted statistics for the 30
Years from 1875 to 1915 to show that
n that time over 100000 people had
sither been bereft or had their lives
changed as the result of divorces
sranted by the courts of the United
States. OF this number 1880. 900 were
children. who had lost either one or
hoth parents as the result OF court
DEGREES.
The divorce laws of the 4 states of
he Union provide in the aggregate
"a causes for divorce, and this too. In
snite of the fact that South Caro-
ina will not allow divorce for any
reason whatever. After referring to
ths growth of divorce in the past so
years, DR.. Purves said that If the
rate continued for the next so years
In like manner, God help America"
Asa remedy to check the divorce
evil the speaker declared that mar
rage should be taken more seriously
and that every newly welded couple
should be given real advice dealing
with the sanoity of holy matrimony.
Marriage Is not performed by the
minister" said DIR. Purves. Marriage
is an ordination by God; a minister
merely solemnizes the cerem0y. It
Is a holy union and should not be
broken except for the most serious
reasons"
Another remedy that he suggested
would be a Federal law by which
causes for divorce would be lessened
and the granting Of DEGREES made
more difficult.
This meeting Of the association was
very largely attended. In addition
to the address by DR.. Purves there
were plano solos by Alvus Rand. IT,.
and Miss Pauline Purinton and
piano duet by Miss Purinton and
her mother, Mrs. Scion w. Purin-
ton. Announcement was made that

zation would be an old fashioned

this evening at City hall.
Six snappy, versatile acts of the
different" kind, featuring individu-
rals of marked ability from the
ranks of the Cony students will make
up the last half of the program
which is expected to surpass any pre-
vious Chizzle Wizzle Minstrel show.
The two trios of black face art
lists who will be seated at the left

, are veterans in work of this nature
and with the coaching which they
have received from Musical Director

numbers in former Chizzle While

years ago he, with Donald Hewitt,
presented a Mr.. Gallagher and Mr..
Sheehan number that stopped the
show and went to many encores.
Ken Haskell, who was an end last
year and who also has appeared in a
previous olio number. will again ap-
pear, although he will be hidden under
a coating of burnt cork. Haskell is
no mean performer on the banjo. being

he will take his music box out for a
