GENERAL WOOD FAVORS
A BIG VOLUNTEER ARM¥
UNITED STATES ARMY NOT PRE
PARED FOR WAR, SAYS THE
CHIEF OF STAFF.
TO RE-ESTABLISH CANTEEN
General Wood Paints a Gloomy Pic
ture of Shortcomings of U. S.
Army in Annual Report.
Washington.—Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, chief of staff, paints a rather
gloomy picture of the lack of prepar
edness of the army in case of war
In his annual report to the secretary
of war.
There are weak spots in many di
rections, he says, and most serious is
the shortage of field artillery and am
munition, a fault which should be Im
mediately attended to. Gene ral Wood
declares that there is a great lack of
reserve seacoast ammunition, and that
at the present rate of appropriation
by congress, it will take more than
fifty years to obtain a reasonable sup
ply of ammunition for the coast de
fense and a still longer time to .se
cure the necessary number of field
artillery guns and ammunition. If the
regular army and organized militia
at war strength were called to arms
now, says General Wood, there would
be a shortage of more than 50 per
cent, in the field artillery necessary
to equip them. As this force would
represent only a portion of the force
called to arms in case of war w'ith a
first class power, the gravity of the
situation becomes apparent.
General Wood strongly urges the
passage by congress of the bill pend
ing for raising a volunteer army In
time of war. He says this will cost
nothing in time of peace, and will save
the government millions of dollars In
time of war. The present law Is so
unsatisfactory and vague that the gen
eral staff cannot make preparations in
advance for its execution in event of
war.
Other needs of the military service
are set out in the report, including
the addition of 610 officers to replace
those detailed from line duties for
staff and militia work; the creation of
a reserve of not less than three hun
dred thousand men who have served
in the regular army or militia; the
concentration of the army in large
posts; the re-establishment of tue can
teen, and finally the increase of the
signal corps aud the acquisition of
aeroplanes.
NEGRO MURDERER LYNCHED.
Swift Vengeance Dealt by a South
Carolina Mob.
Little Mountain, S. C. —With his
body riddled with bullets aud a lan
tern hanging above his head, Flute
Clarke, a negro, lies dead on the side
of Little Mountain. He was lynched
for the murder and attempted assault
of Nannie May Shealey, the 14-year
old daughter of a well-to-do planter
of this section. The crime was com
mitted in the yard of the home of the
girl while she was alone. Her head
was almost severed with a knife, fol
lowing a fierce struggle with the ne
gro. The negro was employed by the
father of the girl and had worked on
the place for twelve year. There
were at least 1,000 men in the mob.
GRANGE RESOLUTIONS.
Radical Changes m the Payne-Aldrich
Tariff Law Suggested.
Atlantic City, N. J. —Resolutions
calling for drastic regulation of ail
railroads of the country and giving
the Interstate commerce commission
power to nullify freight and passen
ger rates proved to he extortionate,
were adopted by the National Grange.
Radical changes in the Payne-Aldrich
tariff hill and physical valuation of
railroad trunk lines were also urged
by the farmers.
Federal aid for road improvement,
the parcels post, conservation of nat
ural resources, a national income tax,
direct electioit of United States sena
tors, agricultural extension and a
non-partisan tariff commission were
included in the report of the resolu
tion committee, which became the pro
gressive platform of the agriculturists.
"Uncle Joe’’ Talks Politics,
Washington.—Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon returned to Washington.
While mildly deploring the result of
the recent election in which he said:
"A majority has made a mistake in
giving our friends, the Democrats, the

He added; “With the responsibility, it
remains to bo seen what they will do.
1 should he glad if they find them
selves able to redeem their promises
in the campaign—to reduce the cost
of living and increase the price of
labor.’’
3,000 Bales of Cotton Burned.
Troy, Ala.—The Atlantic Compress
company’s warehouse and compress in
this city were completely destroyed by

are a complete loss. Between 2,500
I and 3,000 bales of cotton were also de

'"SirT
GENERAL D. PORFIRIO DIAZ, PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
ANARCHY FOLLOWS REVOLT
MEXICO, AFTER CRUSHING THE
REVOLUTION, IS FACING
ANOTHER TASK.
Madoro, the Revolution Leader, Has
Disappeared, Despite Efforts of
the Agents of Diaz.
Mexico City, Mexico.—With the Ma
dero revolution practically crushed out
the Mexican government found a task
of great magnitude on its hands —that
of crushing out the wave of Anarchy
which is following in the wake of the
rebellion. Bandits and desperadoes
have handed with criminals released
from jail and, according to latest re
ports, they are attacking and pillaging
small towns, driving off stock and do
ing great damage to railroad property.
Federal troops were sent to confiis
cate the Mexican property of Frances
co Madero, upon whose head SIO,OOO
reward has been set by the Mexican
government.
Madero has disappeared despite the
efforts of soldiers, rurales and govern
ment secret agent to find him. A
great nation-wide search was started
for him under the stimulus of the re
ward.
Government agents continued their
activities throughout the states in the
danger zone, buying up all the arms
and ammunition they could find. They
have acquired thousands of guns and
millions of rounds of ammunition al
ready.
The jails are full to overflowing, and
secret trials will soon be ordered by
the government. Following the dras
tic policy of President Diaz, it is fully
expected that scores will be executed.
Mexico City maintains the quiet.that
has marked it through the entire up
rising. Americans are not molested
on the streets, and the newspapers
print subdued accounts of the con
flicts between troops and rebels.
New Orleans.—-James M. Reid, who
was killed in Mexico City, was the
victim of Sebastian Vardel, a police
man, who sought to avenge the burn
ing of Antonio Rodriguez in Texas
by taking the life of an American,
according to a Mexico City dispatch
Memphis, Tenn. —A private tele
gram from Mexico City states that
James M. Reid, a civil engineer of
Houston, Miss., was killed in a polit
ical riot. Reid, who had lived in
Memphis three years, went to Mexico
with L. B. Loller, four weeks ago.
Insurance Men Found Guilty.
Newport News, Ya.—Twenty offi
cers and committeemen of the South
eastern Underwriters’ association |
were found guilty of “maliciously and
in wanton disregard of the rights of
the public” increasing the rates of
fire insurance in the city of Newport
News, and fined S4OO each by a jury
drawn from Southampton county, in
the corporation court. This prosecu
tion was based entirely on the com
mon law against conspiracy, Virginia
having no statute to cover the pro
ceedings. The trial lasted a month.
SI,OOO for Three Eggs.
New York.—Three speckled eggs *f
the common red breasted snipe have
just been added to the collection of
J. L. Childs of Floral Park, L. 1., at
an expense of SI,OOO. Common as is
the bird on Long Island its mottled,
olive brown eggs are very hard to
get hold of. The snipe lays her eggs
in rock crannies way up in the arctic
circle, and Childs’ SI,OOO eggs were
gathered by Eskimos in Fokelanen in
the extreme northern part of Iceland.
The eggs are known to science ts
“trianga canatus."

A Garden o' Friends.
One of the prettiest corners of a
certain girl’s garden is that in which
every plant has been the gift of some
special friend. The sweet old fashioned
flowers that bloom there have thus a
double significance, and their owner
persuades herself that while they
flourish she may be very sure that
she is not forgoten. A fragrant clump
of pinks was set in place by her dear
est school friend, and now that this
friend is living abroad, she likes to
think that every breath of perfume
brings her a kindly thought oi her old
chum. A garden of friendship Is a
pretty fancy and one that gives last
lng pleasure.
NEWSPAPERS TAKING IT UP
Metropolitan Dailies Giving Advice
How to Check Rheumatism and
Kidney Trouble.
This is a simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. It la
intended to check the many cases of
Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble
which have made so many cripples,
Invalids and weaklings of some of our
brightest and strongest people.
The druggists everywhere, even in
the smallest communities, have been
notified to supply themselves with the
Ingredients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre
scription is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle. The
dose is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments In hospital
cases prove this simple mixture ef
fective in Rheumatism. Because of
Its positive action upon the elimina
tive tissues of the kidneys, it compels
these most vital organs to filter from
the blood and system the waste Im
purities and uric acid which are the
cause of rheumatism. It cleanses the
kidneys, strengthens them and re
moves qfflckly such symptoms as
backache, blood disorders, bladder
weakness, frequent urination, painful
scalding and discolored urine. It acts
as a gentle, thorough regulator to the
entire kidney structure.
Those who suffer and are accus
tomed to purchase a bottle of medi
cine should not let a little Incon
venience Interfere with making this
up, or have your druggist do It for you.
