Nation-Wide Crusade Against Them Is Proposed. VOTE IN DETAIL AS REPORTED BY COUNTY CANVASSING BOARDS Chicago— The doom o f the Chinese laundry as it exists today may be the result o f a nation-wide organisation soon to oe inaugurated. A crusade o f education is *to be carried on through newspapers and magazines warning i t against the unsanitary conditions.

Well Armed Mexican Rebels March ing on City o f Monclova. Douglas, A r il.— Francisco I. Ma dero, the leader of the Mexican revolu tionists, is now reported not wounded but instead, marching on the city of Monclova, injthe state o f Coahuila, at the head o f a well-equipped army, said to number as high as 6,000 men News of Madero’ s being wounded said to have been sent out by Mexican officials to discourage the revolution ists. This was the report sent by revolu tionists across the border into Douglas. A local business man, who is a revolu tionary sympathizer, received the data in documentary form from friends in Mexico, and the dispatch was given out for publication. A small printed document published at Chihuahua shows the local situa tion there and the purported move ments o f Madero. This paper was smi gg!ed in. Since October 31, it is said Bj .vboys have engaged in smug gling arms in from the border, where they were received from San Antonio All the funds were supplied by the Mexican junta and by Madero person' ally. . It is said that both the mounted troops and infantry o f Madero carry modern repeating rifles o f 30-30 cali ber. Madero’ s mounted soldiers are considered particularly efficient. The foot soldiers were recruited from the cotton belt, where it was known for long time that the peons were ready to take up arms. According to the reports received in Douglas, Madero’s first movement was a bold stroke. With his men he marched to the great ranch owned by General Terrazas, now appointed gov ernor o f Chihuahua, at Sans Ostenes, where he captured 400 horses. Madero and his soliders then moved into the mountains. Here, with his troops he will be able to stand off the govern ment army for an indefinite period, if the claim o f the revolutionary sypa- thizers is well founded.

W rigl EUMATI New York — It took 500 grains of cyanide o f potassium, the most deadly poison, to kill Gypsie Queen, a trick elephant, executed for the murder of her keeper, Robert Schiel, on October 20. Less than one grain is sufficient to kill any man and the first convulsive symptoms supervene almost before the victim can set down the glass from which he swallows. Gypsy Queen swayed backward and forward, flapping her big ears, for ten minutes before she showed the least uneasiness. It was 44 minutes before she was pronounced dead. The poison was given in three pail fuls of bran mash, in which had been sprinkled 100 capsules, each o f five grains o f cayanide. The elephant had been starved for 24 hours and ate greedily. A t the end o f ten minutes she shivered in all her bulk o f 7,500 pounds, her knees weakened, her trunk grew rigid, she rolled her eyes and finally fell.
