silk with flat brown velvet bow at the
throat holding a frill of fine batiste.
The cuff is finished with a frill of fine
lace. The skirt has a tunic of the
material which is slightly draped in
the front, caught into another flat
bow of velvet. The tunic . is edged
with a ruffle of lace.
mm REBELLION
MEXICO, City, Aug. 16. Definite
proposals for peace were received by
President Francisco I. Madero here
today from General Pascual Orozco
commander-in-chief of the revolution
ary forces. It is expected that a truce
will be declared immediately and ne
gotiations opened which will result in
the rebels laying down their arms.
General Orozco telegraphed Presi
dent Madero stipulating that all terms
must be in keeping "with the dignity
of, the provisional government.". It
agreed to not insist on Madero's re
tirement, but demands that all revo
lutionists, including himself, be re
stored to full citizenship. Orozco,
however, insisted that Madero pledge
himself immediately to fulfill . reform
promises made when he took the pres
idency and that 300 of Madero's rela
tives be ousted from their jobs. It
is expected that extra session of con
gress will be called to consider the
proposal.
Without disorder and but little loot
ing, the last of General Orozco's rebel'
troops quietly boarded a train of the
Mexican Central railroad in Juarez to
day and departed for Villa Ahumada,
there to start marching overland into
the state of Coahuila, through the
mountain passes', southward hoping to
join General Zapata in the campaign
against Mexico City. After the de
parture of General Orozco, Juan Me
dina, head of the vigilance committee
took charge of Juarez, and is preserv
ing order pending the arrival of Gen
erals Teilez and Huerta, who are com
ing at the head of any army of sev
eral thousand federals.
General Tellez is expected to arrive
tonight, but it is believed General
Huerta will make an effort to head
off General Orozco. While prepara
tions were under way for moving,
many residents in Juarez, fearing trou
ble from Orozco's soldiers, fled across
the Rio Grande into El Paso, but
nearly all of them have returned to
day. Business generally was resum
ed in Juarez today for the first time
in months.
A rumor that has not been confirm
ed states that General Orozo has se
cretly returned to Juarez.

VALLEY POTATOES
POST BILL PASSES
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 As a sub
stitute for the Bourne-Bristow parcels
post plan inserted by the senate in
the postoffice bill, the house this aft
ernoon voted 143 to 86 to adopt the
post scheme proposed by Congress
man Moon of Tennessee. The plan is
to be experimental, the rates charged
according to zones, ranging from 5
to 12 cents per pound.
Moon said he believed the substi
tute would be acceptable to the sen
ate, insuring its adoption in the con
ference report.
Blight has struck the potato crop
of western Oregon and serious dam
age is threatened. As a result of con
tinued unseasonable weather, vines
are showing decay and this is likely
to affect the output to a serious ex
tent. Samples of potatoes received here
from various sections of the Willam
ette valley show blight. The stock
has black spots all through the cen
ter, rendering them unmarketable.
The extent of the damage by blight
will naturally be influenced by the
amount of rainfall that is shown with
in the next two weeks, but already
the size of the marketable yield has
been cut down.
Some of these blight reports were
received 10 days ago, but no attention
was paid to them, owing to the belief
that the damage exisited only in iso
lated cases. Since then the reports
have spread to all localities in the
vailey and the general opion prevails
that much loss will be occasioned.
Not only will the continued show
ers extend the blight, but where the
vines are healthy second growth has
already started and this will force
rought tock upon a market that will
be only fair for fancy stock.

Of the Famous
Cop
E
eman Automatic
lectnc Range
This will be something to make you sit up and take notice.
Many great things have been Invented in the last decade, but very
little attention has been given to lightening women's work.
This famous range does away with all dirt, soot, grease, ashes and the
use of oils. It reduces the heat in the room to a trifle. It can be turned on
as easily as an electric light and is n ot only a labor saver but la more ec
onomical than any other way of cook-ing.
An expert lady demonstrator will be at our office for there days, Thurs
day, 15, Friday 16, and Saturday 17. She will make practical demonstra
tions of this famous range.

NEGRO GIRL IS POT
TO DEATH IN CHAIR
RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 16. Smiling
and unafraid, Virginia Christian, a ne
gress 17 year old, the first woman to
be executed in the history of Virgin
ia, was sent to her death here in the
electric chair at 7:23 o'clock this
morning for the murder of a white
woman, at Hampton, Va.
Just before the cap was placed over
her head, the woman turned to her
spiritual adviser and said:
"I am glad to go. I killed Mrs.
Belote and deserve to die. I feel no
fear. Kill me quick."
The cegress was employed as a
washerwoman by Mrs. Belote. Anger
ed by a reprimand, the girl felled her
employer, beat her into unconscious
ness, choked her, partially scalped
her, and then thrust a towel down her
throat.
Miss Christian was well educated.
It was brought out at the trial that
she killed Mrs. Belote in a fit of tem

tence to life imprisonment. The girl
manifested no interest in the efforts
in this direction, asserting that she
preferred to die.
The coolness of the murderess was
disconcerting even to the hardened
prison officials. She ate a hearty
breakfast, laughing and talking with
the guards. Shortly before her execu
tion she refused religious consolation,
but made no protest when a minister
started reading from the Bible.
With her head erect and eyes
straight ahead, the girl walked uncon
cernedly to the death chamber, man
ifesting no interest in her surround
ings. She stepped lightly into the
electric chair and after making a brief
statement assisted the guards in ad
justing the electrodes, straps and head
piece. A moment later the current
was turned on and continued for two
minutes.
But He Couldn't Tell a Lie.
