Indications are that the reciprocity measure will be reported to the senate “without recommendation,” and that the free list bill will languish and probably dié in the committee. ‘When the reciprocity bill comes up in the senate for action the first con- test will arise over the question whether the bill shall be passed or rejected as it came from the house, or whether it shall be consolidated with some or all of the provisions of the free list bill.. On that point there is difference of opinfon among Demo- crats in the senate. . Some of them are in favor of a separate vote on the two nieasures, They argue that if Democrats vote for both measures separately, and either is defeated, tne Republicans would be held blameworthy. If they should be consolidated with the aid of Denio- cratic votes and then defeated the Democrats would be held responsible Others contend that the salve to the farmers should be applied by the hand that inflicts the wound; that the only way to assure the farmers of re- celving the benefit of free farm neces- sities is to provide for them in the bill which removes the duty from his products. 3 Sidetrack Free List Bill. This faction argues that the Repub leans are calculating on passing the reciprocity bill with a preponderance of Democratic votes, then sidetrack- ing the free list bill and letting the farmer nurse his resentment, in the hope that he may contemplate a re- turn to the high protection principle. The progressive Republicans have still another plan. They are not at al! inclined to go to the length of assault upon the protective tariff "that the farmers’ free list bill contemplates, al- though twenty-four of their faction in the house voted for it. The Cummins idea is to select a list of articles of common use by the farmer and pro- vide in the Canadian reciprocity bill that they shall be admitted free of duty. The friends in congress of Canadian reciprocity expressed themselves as highly pleased with President Taft's response to the Grange delegation and considered that his action had en- hanced the prospects in the senate of favorable action upon the bill by that body. They agreed among themselves that the president's argument was ir- refutable and that it will strengthen the sentiment throughout the country in favor of reciprocity. ARSENIC FOUND IN COFFEE Attemptéd Poisoning ‘at® Minnesota Soldiers’ Home Alleged. * Minneapolis, May 10.—Arsenic was in the coffee served to and drunk by Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Davis, Dr. Heron and two others, when they dined in the cottage of the chief surgeon of the Soldiers’ Home April 28, according to a report submitted to the board of trustees at its meeting at the home. It is believed that, before the board adjourns, startling disclosures will be made, since it has been intimated that & special investigating committee has cognizance of how and. by whom the deadly poison was put into the coffee. On April 28 Dr. Davis, chief sur geon at the home, and four others, were dining in the surgeon’s cottage. Coffee was brought in from the home hospital. Soon after they all became very ill. A sample of the coffee was sent to the state chemist, who discov. ered the presence of arsenic. GOMPERS CALLS BI_JhNS LIAR Denies Published Statement Made by Detective.

El Paso, Tex., May 10.—A: general engagement between the revolutionary forces of General Madero and the fed- erals ‘under command of General Na- varro is raging at Juarez under a burning sun and s heavy fusillade of musketry and cannon. The entire rebel army had broken camp during the night and up to noon the fnsur- rectos were rapidly swarming into town, g The prospects of rebel success are dependent on the ability of the fed- erals to use their twelve machine guns within the town. The insurrectos, it was reported, had silenced some of them, but this report has verification only in the fact that the federals were not shelling the insuirectos as extensively in the last few ‘hours as they did earlier in the morning. General Madero admitted that he had given his consent to a general attack on Juarez, but explained that various circumstances had precipitat- ed 1t. He declared reports which had reached him were that the federals had opened fire and that men who had been reported as revolting against his leadership had pursued them of their own accord and could'not relinquish their positions. He lstened to the counsel of his chiefs, who advised a general attack,.and though he made an effort to arrange an armistice, it failed because of the progress the at- tack already had made. Long Fight in Prospect. All the leaders have been acting un- der General Madero’s orders. They have surrounded Juarez with their men and prospects are that the battle will continue throughout the day with- out any decisive turn, General Madero was at his head- quarters. receiving the reports from the front, and with him were the vari- ous political chiefs, confident of an insurrecto victory. Bullets have been pouring into EI Paso since the attack began at 4:3 a. m., but the American troops have been keeping sightseers three blocks away from the river front. Privates Emilio Garcia and Cassidy of the American legion with the insur- rectos came to El Paso to get food. They stated that fifteen -Americans al- ready have been killed and wounded and the rebel losses would probably reach 150 killed and wounded, and that the federal logs was more than double that amount. “In one trench I counted forty-seven dead federals and in another thirty- eight. They were stripped of most of their clothing,” said Cassidy. At 7:30 a. m. Colonel Steever, in charge ' of the United States troops, {ssued orders not to permit any pro- visions to be taken across to the in- surrectos, A wagonload of food was at the bridgé for the rebels. It wate not permitted to cross. AFTER SHfiRT, SAVAGE FIGHT Tijuana, Lower California, Captured by ‘Insurrectos. 8an Diego, Cal., May 10.—Tijuana, Lower California, was captured by the insurrectos after a short, savage fight Many are dead and wounded on both ‘sides. It is impossible to learn definitely how many have been killed, for the United States troops a‘ the line refuse to allow any one t« cross into the Mexican town. A small party of federals still is holding the Mexican customs house Buildings in the town have been fired by the rebels and the dead bodies are visible through fleld glasses in the streets and near the Catholic church which has been burned. The attack was a complete surprise | to the federal forces. I Confident that the flanking party of forty men sent out of Tijuana had forced the rebels to retire the defen- ders were resting in supposed secur- ity when the assault came at day- break. - All but one or two of the flanking party are thought to have been killed or wounded. FIVE OF THE CREW DROWNED Schooner . Lost .on the Gulf of Mexico During Storm. Tampa, Fla., May 10.—Confirmation has been received herc of the ioss of the Gulf Refining company's schocner Queen of this city, with five members of the crew, during the storm on the gulf eight days ago: Fishermen re- turning to Panama City report finding the schooner, upside down, on shoals off St. Joseph’s bay. A Good Creed. To be able to look every man square- ly in the eyes; to make friends and | hold them; to keep clean of mind and body; to smile at ill fortune; to laugh at my mistakes; to frown when temp- tation comes avisiting; to be ready ‘with a word of cheer when that wordl will help; to- strive to develop to the utmost the heart, head and hand qualities endowed by the Ruler over all; to hold all women in respect and to love one; to weave the thread of eteérnal optimism into the lives of all | with whom I may come in contact; to ‘worship nature and the Great Spirit that conceived it all—in a word, to play the game of life with a steady hand and a qualmleéss conscience and a real desire to be of ‘service—that {s my re- liglon. And; say, if I can live up to the mark, don’t you think I've corralled about all the creed that Is necessary?— Backhone Monthly. As it Really Was. On the morning after his first ap- pearance on the stage the confident but untalented youth met a friend who had witnessed bis first perform- | ance. “What do you think of my act- Ing?” asked the would be Hamlet. “That wasn't acting,” replied the Buried In Seoret. Two anclent kings were buried in se- oret. Attlla, king of the Huuns, aftar bis siege of Rome, dled in Hungary A. D. 458. His soldlers, desirous of giving their great leader a right royal burial, inclosed his body Arst in a casket of gold, this in one of silver and this in one of lead, and transported it into a desert. There slaves were se- lected, and under the direction of men who were sworn to secrecy they dug the grave of the dead monarch. When this was accomplished no traces of the spot were left. The slaves were all cruelly slain. Alarie, king of the Goths, the cele- brated conqueror of Rome, died when with his army-at Cozenza, south Italy. His men turned the course of a river, Interred the body of their soverelgn, with ‘much treasure, in its bed and restored the stream to its channel. No man has ever lighted on the rest- ing place of either of these kings, who in this respect resemble Moses, of whom {t is written, ‘No man knoweth of his gepulcher unto this day.” Died From Bad Writing. German handivriting attains a de- gree of illegibility unknown In Latin seript. A tragic instance of this fact was afforded by the death of Johann Bacher, an Austrian musician of the last century. Bacher spent most of Lis Teisure for fifteen years In compil- l.ing a history of the Viennese opera. When the manuscript was completed he submitted it to the Imperial acad- emy, which had promised to publish it. In three months it was returned with a statement that no member of the academy could decipher it. Bacher then sought to have it copied, but no copylst capable of deciphering it was to be found. As a last resource he de- termined to dictate his work to an amanuensis only to discover that the greater part of the manuscript was illegible even’to himself. The thought of his wasted years of labor unhinged his brain, and in a fit of depression he committed suicide. Going Back a Long Way. Pick up any peerage book and you will find 1t bristling with ancestral names ‘whose presence is much more difficult to explain than that of the fiy In the amber. And as you descend in the social scale the fictions multiply— from the pedigrees of the landed gentry to the family trees proudly cherished in hundreds of middle class homes. But these lineages, aspiring as they are, are “of mushroom growth compared with many that are claimed with seem- Ing honesty. At Mostyn hall you may see a vellum roll, seven yards long, headed by no less famous an ancestor than “Adam, son of God.”” Another pedigree at the college of heralds starts thus modestly with Adam and the garden of Eden, and Wales has many a family tree which traces de- scent with unerring hand from the same remote origin. What Became of the Trousers. Of Judge P’arry’s many stories of the Manchester county court that about the comedy of a man’s Sunday trousers is one of the best. In the plaintiff’s box was a woman, in the defendant’s an elderly collier. The plaintiff stated her case: “I lent yon mon’s missis my mon's Sunday trousers to pay ’'is rent with, an’ 1 want ’em back.” The'de- fendant at first replied, “There’s nowt in it at all.” Pressed for a more defi- nite reply, he scowled at the judge and protested, “Why, the ’ole street knows all about them trousers.” But Judge Parry was not the “’ole street,” and he patiently encouraged the defendant to talk until e got the explanation, “Why, yon woman ’an my missis drank them Sunday trousers.”—Westminster Gazette.

Took the Shilling. A recruiting sergeant one day met an fgnorant youth idling, with his hands in his pockets and standing before a house on the front of which was a notice informing the public that the building was to be sold. The notice ran thus: “To Be Sold by Private Treaty.” The sergeant approached the youth and asked him if he had ever thought of joining the army. “Not me,” was the reply. “Youd have nothing in the army worth talk- ing about.” “Is that s0?” said the other. “Well, how is it then Private Treaty has a house for sale and him only a private yet?” i’ The youth looked. thoughtful and puzzled, and prz-j? er a pint of ale, the possibilit; ning a house by joining the army W into a cer- tainty and the shilling changed hands. —London Tit-Bits.

Of all the minute creatures that in- habit this globe unseen by the naked eye there Is none so astonishing, ac- cording to the Sclentific American, as the lttle living things that live in stagnant water. They are called slip- per animalculae, or, as the sclentist has it, the paramecium. These tiny, invisible things develop so rapidly that if they were able to live through 350 generations they would crowd every other living thing off the face of the enrth and form a mass larger than the planet {itself. Should they go on re- producing until the nine hundredth generation these little creatures would form a mass large enough to crowd the moon and stars and even the sun entirely out of space. Luckily for us thi3 is not possible, according to na- ture's decree. The paramecium dies after it has attained the one hundred and seventieth generation, and so the awful possibilities are checked of its multiplying to fill the universe. The Medicine Bottle. T order to avert the most serious thing of having a child take the wrong medicine. mothers should adhere to the following rules: Never give medicine in the dark. Always read the label on the bottle. Never go by the color of the medl- cine. When the bottle is refilled see that the label reads clear. Keep polsons locked up. Keep all bottles locked up in a draw- er or medicine chest. Mistakes of giving children carbolic acid and such like poisons in the night- time make it imperative that mothers study and adhere to these rules, for sometimes such inadvertent mistakes bring about- terrible concluslons.—Cin- cinnati Commercial Tribune.
