CENTER HILLS ITEMS Washington. March 3.—Tills is Woman's Day oi political an* crowning glory, short of actually possessing the universal right to vote. Several thousand women turned out, to form the great processlou down Pennsylvania Aveaue, to dem- onatate the unanimity of their sex, in demand for the ballot. Enthusiastic thousands lined the broad avenue for hours before the parade started, cheering the various detachments as they took their places. The pageant was formed around the Peace monument, but on the steps of the Treasury Building the actors In the tableaux symbolic of woman’s triumph, stood ready to be gin their series of daneee and al luring groupings. Mrs. Richard Coke Burleson, who is to be -the Grand Marshal of the day, was busy early, assisted by five aides, all of whom are lent horsewomen. Miss Inez Mllholland, as the her ald whOBe trumpet blast it to start the parade, was dressed in royal purple, astride a mettlesome char ger. There was virtually no deviation made from the order of march as previously published. The allogon- ! cal floats found their way Into the ; line without a hitch, the ‘‘Liberty | Float," from Philadelphia, and the | six golden chariots -from Baltimore attracting considerable attention. A striking feature of the parade was the number of elderly women In the line of March. Mme. Relchter, as "Columbia,' was to hold the center of an Im provised stage at the Treasury building, aided by "Justice,” "Char ity,” "Liberty," "Plenty," "Peace,' and ''Hope." A bevy of pretty girls, clad to gorgeous robes, made this scene an unusually effective one. excel- Mexico City, March 3.—The firm and energetic military rule prom ised under the Huerta regime will be inaugurated this week. Provisional President Huerta, af ter eight days spent in conferences with various Rebel chiefs, or their representatives, is now disposed to consider as Irreconiable all the oth er Rebels who continually delay definite recognition of ths new leglme. The expected program of pacifica tion will be put to some severe tssts, and while the Government ex presses itself as sanguine of its success In the northern states, the lack of harmony between the var ious bands of rebels in that region has developed on tho arrival here of the representatives of Gen. Pas- cual Orozco and others. CATTLE TICK ERADICATION Is Making Much Progress iu Geor gia At Tills Time. lte|K»rt Kniinatcd From Havana.

Nlghbert, inspector charge of the tick eradication work for the United States Department of Agriculture, for the states South Carolina, Georgia, and r lon- da, who has offices In the Federa building, high-grade Georgia ranted beef cattle will be shipped from Li ben county Into ihu markets of tne west, free and unrestricted by the first day of January, 1914. By that time he expects the work of tick eradication, which has been in pro gress in Elbert county for several months now, will have progressed far enough to place that county be- ; yond the cattle tick quarantine, which will allow shipments Into the I open market, a privilege accorded ; few counties In the state. Accord- : Ing to market quotations, on live i stock, the cattle from quarantined j sections of the South sells from three tu five cents a pound less than that from the free and open mar ket in which latter class Elbert county will soon belong. In order to hasten this mucbiy tu be desired condition, there has been organized in Elbert county a Cattle Feeders Association, In which the Elberton Oil Mill has taken a leading part, and is composed of the lead ing farmers and land owners in that county. Each member agrees to feed and raise for market from three to twenty hoad of beef, free of the cattle tick, in order that the shipment may be made into the open market. In addition to agree ing that a balanced ration of cot ton seed meal and hulls was the least expensive and best forms of feed, this organization has decided to Import several breeding hoards of high-grade beef stock for the use of the membership of the asso ciation. It has long since been demonstrated that the expense of feeding and fattening high-grade beef stock Is no more than that of attempting to fatten scrubs, and the profit Is a great deal more. Dr. Nlghbert expresses himself as de lighted with the co-operation. CHICAGO AND EVANSTON PO- LICE SEARCHING FOB FORTY THOUSAND TAKEN FROM A WEALTHY TEXAS WOMAN LAST NIGHT.
