BEHEAD AMERICANS
Threats Against II.
Citizens in Nicaragua.
S.
Intense Feeling Against Taft and His
Policies In Nicaragua Madriz
Bold and Boastful.
Washington Fear exists that Ed
win F. Trimmer, United States consul
at Cape Gracias, Nicaragua, may be
assaulted or possibly even assassina
ted, and it has been decided to send
the cruiser Tacoma to that port to in
vestigate. If conditions demand it,
marines will be landed to protect
American lives and property.
This was the report made to the
State department by Thomas P. Mof
fatt, United States consul at Blue
fields. Two officers and 45 men were
ordered, to Cape Gracias on the Taco
ma, he says, after a conference be
tween himself and Commander Hines,
of the Dubuque.
An article in La Naccion, an official
Madriz organ published at Managua,
indicates the feeling in Nicaragua
against Americans. In part it reads
as follows:
"We Nicaraguans have some limited
means to which we may resort as a fin
al recourse if it comes to the point
that the Yankee tries to carry out his
threat. Let us lay hands on all the
North Americans residing in Nicara
gua and let us say to Mr. Taft: 'For
each shot you hurl against us, the
head of one of your countrymen shall
roll on the ground.'
"Another of the means to which we
may resort in revenge lor so great an
injury and for this I do not believe we
are less able than the Young Turks
let us organize in the form of a power
ful coalition, to the end that in all the
Latin-American countries no goods
shall be purchased from the United
States; making our people under tand
that this is the most ecffiacious method
of combatting the common enemy of
our race, so proud on account of
power, so insolent on account of
pride, and so detestable on account
its insolence."

DIE FIGHTING FLAMES.
.Three Men Trapped by Forest Fires
Near Albany, Oregon.
Albany, Or. Three men were burn-
d to death in a forest fire along the
North Santiarn river, opposite Hoov
er's sawmill, at the terminus of the
Corvallis & Eastern railway, four
miles east of Detroit. The bodies
were not recovered until the following
day. The dead are Philip Richmond,
of Salem; Jay M. Brooks, of Craw
fordsville, Or., and Frank McGoey, of
Clearfield, Pa.
Acting against the advice of their
foreman, the men went to death in an
ffort to get their tools. Fire had
started from the sparks of a donkey
ngine at Hoover's. The three men,
with other workmen, had gone to the
camp. An hour later, after a vain
effort to save the camp outfit from the
flames, these three men started to go
to a point 400 yards up a steep hillside
to get their tools, where they had left
them when the fire started. The wind
was then blowing eastward, sending
the fire that way, so the trip up the
south hillside west of the fire looked
safe. The men had about reached their
tools when the wind suddenly changed,
sweeping the fire with wonderful rap
idity directly up the timber-covered
hill where the men were. In a few
minutes the flames had swept the en
tire face of the hill, turning the forest
into a furnace.
Falling burning trees made it impos
eible to ascend this hill until after
noon the following 'ay. A rescue party
then went up, hoping against belief
that the men had reached the summit
and had escaped the fire. All three
bodies were found, however, burned
badly, bat not beyond recognition.
Two bodies were found together, one
100 yards further up the hill.
Diver Jumps to Death.
West Palm Beach, Fla. Death in an
almost unheard-of form waited for
Laurence S. Baker, a 11-year old Jack
sonville lad, when he dived from a boat
while swimming in Lake Worth. A
stingaree, a huge flat-bodied and grue
some species of warm-water fish, was
lurking just under the boat. One of
the barbed spines which this fish car
ries on its whip-like tail pierced the
boy's neck, cutting the jugular vein.
He rose to the surface crying for help
and bled to death within four
minutes.
One of World's Great Paintings Now
In New York City.
Paris The Cri de Paris says that
Leonardo de Vinci's masterpiece, the
"Mona Lisa" portrait, was stolen
from the galleries of the Louvre one
night about a month ago through the
complicity of a high official of the mu
seum. A copy of the painting was
put in the frame in place of the orig
inal. The paper asserts that the genuine
painting is now in New York. It says
that a New York millionaire collector,
whose initials are J. K. W. W-. nas
the original.
None of the important dealers or art
collectors on this side of the water
could shed any light upon the possible
identity of "J. K. W. W." The can
vass of art collectors who might come
under the category of "New York mil
lionaires," failed to reveal one whose
initials even remotely correspond with
the ones mentioned in the dispatch
from Paris.
Leonardo de Vinci's portrait of
Mona Lisa," also called "La Jo-
conde,"or"La Gioconda," is one of
the world's famous paintings. In Eu
ropean art circles it is considered to
rank second in value only to the Sis-
tine Madonna, by Raphael. Both
are priceless.
it is a matter or gossip, though no
official verification can be had of. the
rumor, that the British governmet
offered 1,000,000 for "La Joconde,"
and that the offer was refused.
The most striking feature of the
portrait is the mysterious smile that
lurks in the eyes and lips.

TIMBER WORTH $600,000 GONE
Large Crews Fighting Fires in Wis
consin .Districts.
Wausau, Wis. The fires at Gallo
way, which have caused disastrous
losses in that vicinity, are reported to
be fairly under control. The flames
are still extending for five miles east
of Eldron to Pike lake village, and
large crews of men are fighting the
fires throughout the standing timber
portion in that district.
The loss in standing timber and logs,
according to a conservative estimate,
was S500.000.
The Jacob Mortensen Lumber com
pany, which owns a large tract or
standing timber near Galloway, has a
large crew of men fighting the fire.
The Hatton .Lumber company are
protecting their timber. If the wind
keeps down, it is expected the flames
will soon be under control
In addition to the fire at Galloway
numerous small fires have started in
the southeastern portion of Marathon
county, the western part of Shawnee
county, and northeastern portion of
Portage county. Conditions now are
reported favorable.
The towns of Irma, Gleason and
Bloomville are still safe, but the fires
are still raging around them.
GRASSHOPPERS ON WAY.
English Strike Serious.
Newcastle, England The situation
surrounding the strike of employes of
the Northeastern Railroad was aggra
vated by the failure of representatives
of the railroad and the strikers to
reach a basis of understanding after a
four hours' conference. Thousands of
coal miners are idle because of the rail
road company's inability to run freight
trains. Ten thousand men quit work
at the start, and every hour since has
brought reports of further desertions,

Swarms of Black Insects are Devour
ing Crops in Manitoba.
Gretna, Manitoba The black grass
hopper, or black locust, the greatest
pest that has ever attacked the crops
of Manitoba and the Northern states,
has arrived in swarms, ana the injur
ious insects are headed north, having
come from Dakota, where they have
already done great damage to the grain
crops and the gardens.
The black grasshoppers are to be
seen in great numbers and are attack-
ng gardens, showing a special fond
ness for cabbage. Where they do not
find succulent garden forage, they at
tack the standing grain and strip the
straw bare in an incredibly short time.
Tim O Brien, the veteran customs
collector at Neche, N. D., recalls that
n the years 1871 to 1874 the black
grasshopper was a terrible pest, strip
ping the whole country bare, and
eating the bark off the poplar trees
when they had cleaned everything else
green off the face of the earth. They
came suddenly after a long dry spell in
1871 and at times were in such swarms
that their flight obscured the light of
the sun.
In 1874, after doing tremendous
damage, they disappeared as suddenly
at they had come.
Has Passed From Civilian Life to Po

only to the president of the United
States. He succeeds Major General J
Franklin Bell, who has held the office
for a number of years.
General Wood s appointment is in

ALL COAL SEGREGATED.
Declaration Made That Germany Is
Being Sought as Ally.
Berlin A new political alignment,
with Japan breaking away from Eng
land as soon as the present treaty be
tween these two has expired, is pre
dicted by Professor Albrecht Wirth,
one of the most prominent Pan-German
politicians and writers.
"Japan will not renew her alliance
with England," Professor Wirth de
clared. "England knowns this and is
taking the necessary precautions to
strengthen her position in the Far
East. She is enlarging and moderniZ'
ing her Singapore fortifications.
"Japan is seeking other alliances
and has offered to come into the triple
alliances with Germany, Austria and
Italy. She has also offered to conclude
a defensive and offensive alliance with
Turkey, and has suggested a quintuple
league with Germany, Austria, Italy,
Turkey and herself as members.

Juneau, Alaska Mount Shishaldin,
the volcanic peak on Unimak island,
which was recently reported as emit

Over $10,000,000 Reduction is Made
in Deficit for Year.
Washington More than $10,000,000
reduction in the postal deficit was
made in the first nine months of the
fiscal year just ended, according to re
turns received by Postmaster Genera
Hitchcock. Such a reduction is unpre
cedented in the history of the depart
ment. The deficit for the nine months
was $2,709,000, as against $12,832,
000 in the same period of the preced
ing fiscal year.
In the third quarter of the fiscal
year ending March 31, the postal ser
vice earned a surplus of $1,363,000,
the revenues for the quarter amount
ing to $58,934,000, and the expendi

Government Now Has Reserved Area
of 71,618,688 Acres.
Beverly President Taft has with
drawn several million acres of coal
lands in different states of the- West,
bringing the total acreage of coal land
withdrawals made by him up to the
enormous total of 71,518,588. About
half of this amount is new withdraw
al.
ine woric is now complete and is
epitomized in the following letter to
the President from Secretry Ballinger
"The orders for the withdrawal of
coal lands which are transmitted here
with complete the series which have
been prepared in accordance with your
instructions. These orders confirm and
continue all existing coal land with
drawals and add materially thereto.
The areas covered are as follows :
Arizona, 161,280 acres; Colorado,
6,191,161 acres; Montana, 20,208,865
acres; New Mexico, 2,944,279 acres;
North Dakota, 17,828,182 acres; Ore
gon, 192,562 acres; South Dakota, 2,
oYU,zoY acres; Utah, 5,5574,247 acres;
Washington, 2,207,267 acres; Wyom
ing, 13,099,718 acres.
''The total of coal lands now with
drawn in the United States is there
fore 71,518,588 acres.
"All the land, however, is open to
agricultural entry, with a limited sur
face patented under the terms of the
order of withdrawal and in accordance
with the recent enactment providing
for agricultural surf ace entries on with
drawn or classified coal lands.
Already 10,210,082 acres of coal
land have been classified and appraised
and restored to appropriate entry.
"The total appraised valuation of
these coal lands is $449,876,208, as
compared with $170,063,766, which
would be the minimum price that
formerly obtained.
"In the explored portion of Alaska,
which comprises about 20 per cent of
the district, the supposed areas of
coal fields aggregate approximately
12,000 square miles. In these coal
fields the areas believed to be under
laid by workable beds of coal are about
1,200 square miles, in more than three
fourths of which area only the lower
grade coal occurs. Thus the known
coal lands of Alaska which are believed
to be affected by your order of with
drawal aggregate some 770,000 acres."
CARE OF COWS IN FLY TIME
Pestiferous Little Insects Cut
From 30 to 40 Per Cent. In
Receipts of Creameries.
Off
A few calves will occupy but little
stable room and will require but little
additional food and attention.
We can make no greater mistake
than to compel them to suffer day
after day fighting flies In the blister
ing sun.
Some dairymen keep their cows In
side during the worst part of the fly
season, allowing them to run out
nights.
After a run out In the pasture they
are put In the stable in the morning
and it is darkened so that the flies
will remain outside.
A little green forage fed while
they are kept Inside during the day
and the loss In milk and flesh Is re
duced to a minimum. '
Few dairymen can afford to with
stand the losses that are due to the
fly peBt.
It Is claimed by good authorities
that In some cases an animal loses
more than a pint of blood each day
and such losses and suffering mean
that they can return no profit at the
pall when they are handled In this
manner.
In nearly every dairy section flies
cut off from 30 to 40 per cent in the
receipts of the creameries.
No dairying section can afford to
stand such severe losses.
Until we find some fly repellant of
lasting qualities we must avoid losses
from this source by keeping the ani
mals where the plague will be re
duced to a minimum.
The scientific work of handling the
fly problem should be encouraged un
til In due time we are In a position to
handle the question.
If we can plan to Keep all but one
side of the stable darkened the files
will not bother the calves or cows as
badly as when there Is no light at all,
for they will fly toward the light and
get lost and not be able to find the
stock after flying toward the light
When we stop and consider the In
timate relationship between the com
fort of the cows and calves and their
milk and growth we will not hesitate
to do all In our power to Improve
their condition during fly time.

Protest Action of Norway.
Washington Announcement of the
attitude of the government against the
recognition by Norway of the Madriz
blockade at Bluefields, Nicaragua,
may be made at the State department
soon. A telegram in . answer to pro
tests from New Orleans against the
Norwegian action is. being prepared by
Acting Secretary of State .Wilson.
United States Consul Moffatt, of Blue
fields, threw some light on the situation.
It appears in Mr. Moffatt's dispatch i tional
to Washington that Michael J. Clancy,
for some time the American Vice-Con
sul at Bluefields, also had been acting
in a similar capacity, for Norway.
Clancy's report of the situation at
Bluefields to the Norwegian Consulate
at Havana is said at the State depart
ment to have been declared by Moffatt
as misleading and improper. As a re
sult it is said at the department that
Norway doubtless obtained a wrong
impression of conditions.
It is also intimated that Mr. Clancy
will no longer continue as American
Vice-Consul at Bluefields.
Borax Content to Be Made Basis of
Federal Prosecution.
Washington Prosecution against
manufacturers of ice cream cones con
taining borax are to be . instituted by
the government under the pure food
law. Large seizures of cones were
made recently in different parts of the
country by the department of agricul
ture. Analysis of the cones seized
showed them to be deleterious to the
human stomach.
The cones, by chemical test, were
also found to contain saccharine and
benzoate of soda, but it was said at
the department that proposed prosecu
tions would be based solely on the pres
ence of borax, inasmuch as sacharine
was still under investigation and ben-
zoate of sado oda had been held harm'
less when used in small quantities.
Inspectors will continue to make
seizures where cones are found to con
tain borax. - Manufacturers using
borax contend this ingredient is ne
cessary to make the cones old their
shape.

The conversion of potatoes into a
dry, concentrated meal, successfully
accomplished by a Prussian process
described by Consul T. H. Norton, not
only prevents loss from decay, but re
duces the cost of transportation. In
Germany potatoes are much used for
feeding domestic animals, and the
loss from decay amounts to about 11
per cent, equivalent to a value of
$28,500,000 annually. The new pro
cess is claimed to be simpler and more
effective than numerous earlier ones
brought out by an offer of $8,000 in
prizes. The potatoes axe washed in
a large vat passed into a mashing
machine, pumped Into a resrrolr, and
then fed between two hollow cylinder
of perforated plate covered with linen
Altering cloth, the interior of each
cylinder being connected with an air
exhaust The pressure of the cylin
der and the air suction remove most
of the water. The residual mass Is
taken by a helical conveyor to small
cars, which pass through a hydraulic
press, removing more liquid, and is
then transferred to a revolving drum
heated at one end by steam pipes and
cooled at the other by water: Stirred
by prongs in the drum, the dried po
tato emerges as coarse meal. This
has a quarter of the original weight
of the tubers and occupies an eighth
of the space, it smells and tastes like
fresh bread, and analysis shows it to
contain S0.69 per cent of carbohy
drates, 11.50 of water, S.73 of protein,
2.06 of ash, 1.71 of fiber, and 0.31 of
fat. If desired, the meal can be com
pressed Into compact cakes. The
residual liquid contains sugar and
dissolved salts, and, first yielding
about 2 per cent of albumen. Is used
for Irrigating farming land.

In trivial ailments or in the case of

have been Infected from outside, is an
attempt at cure at all recommended,
and even then when the disease is si
defined that the treatment is fairly
certain. By exercising good care,
with all that It Includes, correct sani
tary conditions, good nouses, well
sunned and aired, proper food, exer
cise and cleanliness and prompt atten
tion to birds who seem indisposed, will
often prove effective in checking what
otherwise might turn to be a very se
rious epidemic. Remove all sick
fowls from the rest of the flock and
see that all conditions are correct for
preventing the spread of the disease to
other members of the flock.

Tall Building for Bees.
The tall building Idea is found to
be successful with bees as with city
folk. Many beekeepers claim that bees
swarm because they have not enough
room for their work. Swarming Is
the bane of the beginner in the Indus
try. It will be found that a colony
can be started out with a single story
hive. As the season advances a sec
ond story can be added. Then a
third and on until the capacity of the
hive will be about 60 pounds. This
method has been tried with sucoess
by beekeepers of experience.
