Mexico City.—The strictest censor ship on all dispatches has been estab ' lished at Mexico City. Government I officials have taken charge of the ca ble office and ruthlessly discarded messages of correspondents to theii papers. Code message and all messages con taining any expressions whatever that might he constructed into a sug gestion of the important happenings in the capital came under the ban and promptly were confiscated by the censor and his assistants. Nevertheless several dispatches, of a somewhat detached nature, escaped the vigilance of the censorship and a bulletin was flashed through that the armistice had been broken and that both sides were fighting savagely. The Mexican government was un able, however, to shut off the official dispatches of the diplomatic represen tatives, but as these are sent in ci pher, considerable delay is being ex perienced in translation, and the fear is expressed that many things may occur in the Mexican capital detri mental to the foreign residents be fore the actual situation is learned by the home governments. Brief dispatches giving a general idea of the situation prior to the freon break of hostilities were passed by the censors to their destinations, but the government apparently is de termined that not a word of the fight ing which has torn the city asunder for eight days shall be communicated to the outside world, if that can he prevented. lilt* govermiitfiiL iiitb uui vniy ouut the world oft from Mexico City, but to far as the public is concerned has shut Mexico City off front the world, including the whole of the Mexican republic. News dispatches sent from the Tinted States to Mexico City were either refused or held up, the intention evidently being that the residents within the capital shall not be informed of the measures which have been undertaken by the Amer ican and other governments to pro tect their interests. While Madero has been reiterating his declaration that conditions in Mexico outside of the capital axe sat isfactory, advices from various cen ters indicate that there have been im portant movements in favor of Gen eral Diaz. Confirmation of the breaking of the armistice and the resumption of hos tilities has been received from La redo, Tex., where wire communica tion was established with Mexico City. The messages stated that a bat tle was on. Official advices received from Ambassador Wilson tell of the narrow escape of the British minister, Trancis W. Stronge, from federal bul lets while on his way to a confer ence at the American embassy. The automobile in which Mr. Stronge was riding, escorted by a federal guard, was struck in several places. This gives some slight indications of the difficulties and dangers encountered by the diplomatic representatives in their endeavors to bring about a peace settlement. Further advices from the ambassa dor say that the majority of the American residents have found places of relative safety, although a few of them have refused to abindon their homes. Attempts to Rob 16 Men. Kansas City.—A man who gave the name of D. R. keeper, attempted to hold up and rob sixteen men on the street near the Union station.

DYING MESSAGE FROM CAPT. SCOn FOUND ON CORPSE London, Feb. 10.—Among records found on Captain Scott was the fol lowing, written at the time he real ized his mission must end in disaster It is his last message to the world completed while the pangs of hungei and suffering from cold were slowly but surely killing him and his com panions: "The causes of this disaster are not due to faulty organization but to mis fortune in all the risks which had tc be undertaken. "One, the loss of pony transport in March, 1911, obliged me to start later than I had intended, and obliged the limits of stuff transported to be nar row. The weather throughout the out ward journey, and especially the long gale in 83 degrees south, stopped us The soft snow in the lower reaches ol the glacier again reduced the pace. "We fought these untoward events with will and conquered, but it ate in to our reserve provisions. Every detail of our food supplies, clothing and depots made on the interior ice sheet and on that long stretch of 700 miles to the pole and back worked out to perfection. "The advance party would have re turned to the glacier in fine form and with a surplus of food but for the as tonisliing fcilure of the man whom we had least expected to fail. “Seaman Edgar Evans was thought to be the strongest man of the party and Ileardmore glacier is not difficult in fine weather. But on our return we did not get a single completely fine day. This, with a sick companion, enormously increased our anxieties. “We got into frightfully rough ice and Edgar Evans received a eoncus sion of the brain. He died a natural death, but left us a shaken party, with the season ur.dulv advanced. "Rut all these facts enumerated were as nothing to the surprise which awaited us on the barrier. I main tain that our arrangements for return ing were quite adequate and that no one in the world would have done bet ter in the weather which we encoun tered at this time of the year. "On the summit in latitude S5 de grees to 8f> degrees we had minus 20 to minus 30. On the barrier, in lati tude 82 degrees. 10,000 feet lower, we had minus 30. On the barrier, in lati tude 82 degrees, we had minus 30 in the day and minus 2T at night pretty regularly, with a continuous head wind during our day marches. "These circumstances came on very suddenly and our wreck is certainly due to this sudden advent of severe weather, which does not seem to have any satisfactory cause. "I do not think human heings ever came through such a month as we have come through, and we should have got through in spite of the weather but for the sickening of a second companion. Captain Oates, and a shortage of fuel in our depots, for which I cannot account, and finally, but for the storm which had fallen on us within eleven miles of the depot at which we hoped to secure the final supplies. "Surely misfortune could scarcely have exceeded this last blow." “We arrived within eleven miles of our old One Ton camp with fuel for one hot meal and food for two days. For four days we have been unable to leave the tent, the gale blowing about us; we are weak. “Writing is difficult. “For my own sake I do rot regret this journey, which has shown that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another and meet death with as great a fortitude as ever in the past. "We took risks. VVe knew we took them. Things have come out against us and therefore we have no cause for complaint, but bow to the will of Providence, determined still to do our best to the last. "Rut if we have been willing to give our lives to this enterprise, which is for the honor of our country, I ap peal to our countrymen to see that those who depend on us are properly cared for. "Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endur ance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. “These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the ta'e, but surely, surely a great, rich country like ours will see that those who are dependent on us are properly provided for. "(Signed) R. SCOTT, "March 25, 1912." Eat Too Much Meat? Amid the general chorus of grum bling at the high price of meat there is one dissenting note—that of the La dies’ Home Journal, which says: "We rejoice at the high prices of meats, and fervently say 'May they soar high er and yet higher!’" - Americans eat too much meat, the Journal thinks, and high prices will lessen the consump tion. His Mistake. “Do you think there is money to be made out of the chicken business?” "Some men have made fortunes out of it.” “Well. I never had any luck." "You tried to make money in the chicken business.” Mild Answer. “Will that savage brute of yours bite, boy?” asked the old lady. “You needn’t be 6keered, ma'am.” answered the little boy. “He's too old to bite anything tough.” There’s a Difference. “The man who runs that store has got the right idea, ail right.” “How so?" "He advertises: 'Bagpipes and mus ical instruments.’ ” A Great Speech. "Yes, senator, I happened to be in the visitors’ gallery once when you made a great speech against it.” "Against what?” “Time.” THE FREIGHT BILL KECKLEY TELLS ABOUT BAD TREATMENT BY COMMITTEE. BILL PUI OVER IE WEEK Chairman Explains He Was Simply Seeking Full Information.— Keckley Didn’t See It That Way. Lincoln.—The proposed reduction of freight rates by the legislature, with out regard to the State Railway com mission, was the one big question be fore the houses brought up this after noon by Keckley of York, who, rising to a question of personal privilege, gave a talk on his treatment at tile hands of the railway committee, be fore which he appeared Friday eve ning. The action of the committee was defended by Helliger, chairman, and Stephen of Merrick, a member. Keckley wanted the committee to make a report on his bill last night, but instead it went over for a week so the committee could get more facta in the case. Keckley said, after telling about be ing the author of the hill to reduce freight rates 20 per cent: “That bill went to the railroad committee and was discussed Friday evening. I asked the committee to report the bi.l back to the house and I was not par ticular what report it made. 1 told the committee I was not competent to discuss freight rates with the railroad experts. I wanted to show my data upon w hich the bill was based to the committee of the whole and not be I compelled to show my hand to the committee. ' rurccu u oriuw nunu. "But the committee insisted that I show why the bill should he passed, j instead of compelling the freight ex- ! ports to show why it should not bo passed. While making a running fight with the experts I was forced to i ro- j duce some of my data. 1 showtd the ] committee figures to prove that the | people of Nebraska in comparison with the people of Iowa were extorted out of $9,123,000 last year.

Get rid of it. Atiack the cause. Probably it's weak kidneys. Heavy or confining work is hard on the kidneys, anyway, and once the kid neys become inflamed and congested, the trouble keeps getting worse. The danger of running into gravel, dropsy or Bright's disease is serious. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills, a fine remedy for backache or bad kidneys. A Washington Case H. R.
