REVOLT SEEMS T0 BE SUBSIDING Conditions Improving - in Northern Mexico. AMERICANS WIRE REPORTS Officers of Mexico Northwestern Rail- road Say Reports of Disorders Were Exaggerated and That Trains Are Running Regularly—One American Said to Have Been Killed in Fight- ing at Parral. New York, Nov. 26.—The insurrec- tionary flames in the state of Chihua- hua, Mex., have apparently subsided to a marked degrze, according to dis- patches received here by Vice Presi- dent E. D. Kenna of the Mexico North- western Railway company, whose lines run between Chihuahua and Ma- Dr. F. S. Pearsons, president of the rail- road, who is now in the City of Mex- ico, telegraphed as follows: “Conditions in federal district and vicinity absolutely normal; there have been no serious disturbances of any character or interference with proper- ties. Reports of disturbances in Chi- huahua have been greatly exagger- ated. No damage has resulted to our property and trains are running reg- ularly. There has been no interrup- tion or interference with Mexico Northwestern operations.” George Rutledge, the superintendent of the El Paso division of tbe Mexico Northwestern Railway company, tele- graphs from Ciudad Fuarez that “no foreigners have been molested; that there has been no trouble of any kind {on his division and that the reports concerning disturbances among the laborers engaged in railroad construc- tion are absolutely without founda- tion.” i - Vice President Kenna has also re- ceived a message from H. C. Ferris, general manager of the railroad, who is in Chihuahua, confirming Dr. Pear- sons’ information. OUTBREAK IS NOT SERIOUS | General Bell Discusses the Revolt in Mexico. Leavenworth, Kan., Nov. 26.—That the present disturbances in Mexico will not be of any serious conse- quences is the opinion expressed by General J. Franklin Bell, former chief of staff of the army, who is now visit- ing army friends at Fort Leavenworth before going "to .Manila to assume command of the Philippine division of the army. “I don’t anticipate any serious trou- ble in Mexico at the present time,” was the general’s comment. “That will come when President Diaz dies. I am quite sure there will be no trou- ble on this occasion that will be suffi- cient to cause alarm in the United States or cause us to do anything else but use troops to preserve neutrality. It is possible that we may need troops to expel armed parties and to prevent the border from being used as a ren- dezvous or refuge for Mexicans on dis- turbing the peace across the line. But that is all.” HIT BY A STRAY BULLET One American Killed During Fighting at Parral, Mex. El Paso, Tex., Nov. 26—R. J. Mar- shall, a mining man who was at Par- ral during the fighting, was among the passengers arriving here. “Americans were warned to keep out of it,” said Mr, Marshall. “Tom Tawson was killed and a man named Storey was wounded, but they were hit by stray bullets. The official report at Parral said only four persons were killed, but there were more than that, as I have seen a photoggaph of ten dead in one spot. “All is quiet now and no more trou- ble is expected. Business is going on as usual.” M. F. Shafin, a mining man from the neighborhood of Zacatecas, re- ported that there had been no trouble in that vicinity. TROOPS SENT TO . BORDER American Officials Continue Precau- tionary Measures. Prescott, Ariz., Nov. 26.—Although everything is reported quiet along the border General Thomas left with Com- pany B of the Eighteenth infantry for Naco, Ariz. While the general will neither deny nor affirm there is a ru- mor that the entire garrison of three companies will leave Fort Whipple for the border shortly. Army-officers said that the cavalry.at Fort Hugchuca also has been ordered to the border. In view of the present situation this Decorative and Scientific Taxidermy in all its branches All?

Cheyney, Division of * Forestry, Minnesota Univer- sity Farm. LR R R X R Y The extent, distribution and ‘owner- ship of the so-called “forest reserves” in Minnesota are not generally very. clearly understood. . Some of thém be- long to the federal government -and some to the state. . Roughly, 96 per cent of them .are included in the two national for- ests, and are administered by the Unit- ed States forest service. The Superior National Forest, of about one milNon acres, lies east of Duluth, between Lake Superior and the Canadian line. The Minnesota National Forest, of about a third of a million acres, lies south and east of the town of Cass Lake. These are both reorganized, and manned by supervisors and rang- ers. The principal work on them at present is in the form of permanent improvements; the making of roads and trails to render the forests ac- cessible, and the building of ranger cabins. They are also well protected from fire in the summer, and other measures are being taken for the re- generation of the forests. The state reserves lie in four patches, three of them—Itasca State Park, 2,200 acres; Burntside, 2,800 acres, and Pillsbury, near Brainerd, 1,000 acres—are under the control of the state forestry board. In Itasca Park much work has been done to in- sure fire protection; some of the dead and down timber has been logged, and some effort made toward systematic forest management. The summer ses- sion of the Minnesota College of For- estry is held there; and, in connection gk AFTER ORDINARY LOGGING. Cut-over rocky land near Ely, Minn. with that, a small nursery has been started and some forest planting done. On the Pillsbury reserve, a nursery was established some years ago, and some hundreds of thousands of pine and spruce trees planted. On the Burntside reserve, no work has been attempted, on account of lack of funds. The fourth state reserve, of 2,700 acres, located near Cloquet, was estab- lished only two years ago, and is con- trolled by the College of Forestry. It is to be administered as a forest ex- periment station. A building has been put up there for a headquarters, and some experiments are already under way. Its value as a demonstration forest, to make clear the possibilities of the Lake States’ forests; is tremen- dous. These forests are too often regard- ed as a joke, and their support.as a drain on the treasury. Their ultimate importance is not realized. If these YOUNG PINE ON-SGHOOL SEGTION NEAR LAKE ITASGA. See what would ‘be left if* this were/ lumbered now. areas: are put under the same kind of management as the German forests— and they surely will be—they will some day yield the.state a goodly rev- enue. Calculated on a conservation basis, these state reserves alone, when put in good working order, will pay the state an annual revenue of $200,000 and possibly $490,000 or $600,000, From the national forests 25 per cent of the revenue goes to the counties in which they. are. located. in lieu of taxes. This means from $1,300,000 to $4,000,000 annually for the counties. Those certainly are not sums to be sneered at. It behooves the good citi- zen.to learn the.true ‘yn\lue of the cor- rect management of these forests, and See to it that the money is forthcom- ing to put them in shape as soon as possible. bbbl b g Irrigation and fertilization combined, and scientifically directed, have transformed thousands of acres of land on Long Island into a succession of garden-spots. Land which was ‘“not worth assessing for taxes” fifteen years ago, is now worth $300 to $500 an acre. oo oo ofe oo o ofe b ofe e b b o LR R R K X — ol Rolol d Rl A RUSSIAN SPY. Trepoff's Ruse to Get at the Plans of the Nihilists. When "the famous General Trepoff was only at the beginning of his career Vera Sassulitch was his invalu- able -assistant, Trepoff was the detested enemy of- the nihilists, and he was very anxious . to obtain inside information as to their doings and plans. in 1878 he was fired at while driving | Special Orders| Suddenly one day ; through' the streets of St. Pétersburg . by no other than Vera Sassulitch. She ! was at once seized by the soldiery and was'charged with the attempted ‘mur- der of Trepoff, being tried in the ordl- nary manner; but, to the amazement of the public, she was acquitted! On her release the nihilists gathered about her, desiring to admit such a friend of the people to their closest ac- quaintance. In this way she was ad- mitted to all their private circles and was made acquainted with their se- crets. These she at once communi- cated to the Russian government. The truth was that the whole business, in- cluding the attempt on his’ life, was faked by :Trepoff himself, and it was simply a clever ruse to get from the nihilists what could not be got in any other way. Thereafter Vera Sassu- fitch played the part of government spy on innumerable occasions, ANSWERED BACK. Ready Reply of a Ragged Turk to a Scot In Kilts. During the troubles at Crete in 1897 the Seaforth highlanders were landed to help to restore order. Their advent, dressed in the familiar kilts, created a great sensation, as the natives, who themselves wear a kind of kilt, had never seen British soldiers in such a costume. . An amusing incident occurred one day when a party of Seaforths were marching through a small, wretched looking village. As usual, the inhabit- ants turned out to stare at the sol- diers, and one of the highlanders with a view to raising a laugh among his comrades shouted out to a group of Turks, “Gae hame, ye dirty black- guards, an’.scrub yersels.” Imagine his astonishment as well as that of the remainder of the highland- ers when a ragged and evil looking Turk shouted back in reply, “Go home yourself, Scottish dog, and cover your- self up!” It was afterward discovered that this Mohammedan had spent sev- eral years in London and so learned the language. — From ‘“Anecdotes Soldiers In Peace and War,” by J. H Settle. Oratorical Effects. I once heard Everett, whose plat- form oratory was the acme of Ameri- can art. His language was unimpeach- able. But his every word, and not only his every word, but his every gesture, was unmistakably prepared. He scemed to gesticulate not only with his hands, but, with his legs. He even planned scenic effects beforehand. Having to deliver a Fourth of July oration, he introduced a veteran of 1812, put him .in a conspicuous. place and told the old man to rise to him at his entrance into the hall. The old man did as he bad been bidden. Ev- erett apostrophized him with “Vener- i able old man, sit down! It is not for you to rise to us, but for us to rise to you.” “Mr. Everett i3 a strange man. He told me to rise when he came into the hall, and when I did rise he told me to || sit down.”—From Goldwin Smith’s Reminiscences in McClure's. The Lightning Rod. Though Franklin will continue to receive the honor that is his due.as the inventor of the first practical light- ning rod, the study of atmospheric electricity goés back at least to the time of Tullius Hostilius, who perished in"an attempt to “draw fire from the sky.” A learned priest of the name of Divisch- is saild to have erected the ‘} first lightning conductor in Europe. He set ‘it up at Prendiz, Bohemia, in 1754, and it was 130 feet high. Though the Emperor Stephen and the Empress Maria Theresa publicly proclaimed their confidence in the inventor, a most disastrous drought that afflicted the country a year later was ascribed by the superstitious populace to the newfangled device, and Divisch was compelled to take it down. It is not probable that Franklin was acquaint- ed with Divisch’s experiment. Wrong End of the Milk. One morning while trade was slack and he had settled himself in the store chair for a few minutes a north side grocer was interrupted by the entering of a very small daughter of Africa, who, bracing herself in the middle of | the store, said, “Mam wants some scum milk,” whereupon_she received the asked for amount of skimmed milk. | ‘The grocer had just settled himself for another rest when he was again interrupted by .that selfsame bottle of ink: “Mam don’t want this. She want that what's scummed off the top.”’— Indianapolis News. Poetic Justice. “Pa, I've just been reading about poetic jnstice. What does that mean?” “Listen, my child, and you shall hear, Once there was a man who swindled me out of a lot of money in an irri- gation scheme. Well, he became a vic- tim of poetic justice. I have just heard that he died of water on the brain,”—Judge. Gratitude 13 the fairest blossom which springs from the soul, and the heart of man knoweth none more fra- grant.—Hosea Ballou.
