WILL NOT QUIBBLE WILSON INSISTS MEXICANS MUST FIRE FULL SALUTE. WAR CONTINUES SOUTH No Intimation of Recall of Ships Now Steaming Toward Scene of Action. Mexico City.—The substance of the reply of the United States govern ment to the demand of President Huerta that there should be a simul taneous salute fired by the Ameri cans when the Mexicans salute the American flag, was delivered verbally by N'elsca O’Shaughnessy, the Ameri can charge d’affairs, to Senor Portillo y Rojas, the foreign minister. It is understood the reply was con sidered at a meeting of the cabineL The meeting lasted three hours. It was impossible to learn the result. Washington. — The United States has warned General Huerta that no further argument about details for the salute to the American flag will be tolerated. Tweny-one guns must be fired to the Stars and Stripes in reparation for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tampico, or serious consequences will follow. The Atlantic fleet in the meantime continues on its way to Tampico to back up the demands of the Wash ington government. No time limit has been set for an answer to the final communication sent rejecting the suggestion twice made by General Huerta that the guns from the Mexican shore batte ries fire simultaneously with those of the American warships. Rear Admiral Mayo's original de mand calling for a salute of twenty one guns, which he promised to return according to naval precedent, has oeen insisted upon. Only One Answer Satisfactory. The Unied States, through Charge d'Affairs O'Shaughnessy, has told President Huerta the only answer that would be satisfactory was an un conditional acceptance of Rear Ad miral Mayo's original conditions.

Polk, ho was sitting next to the mayor In the tonneau of the au tomobile With blood spurting from his mouth, Mr. Polk was taken into the ci-ty hall and afterwards to the New York hospital, where it was said that the wound would not prove fatal. Mahoney shot at the mayor, he as serted in the course of a disjointed statement, extracSed from him. be^ cause he felt aggrieved with the city executive's “extravagant expendi tures'’ and because he was incensed at being turned back from the door of the mayor's room in the city hall on two occasions this week when he came to apply for a municipal job.

A CAMPAIGN OF SANITATION PLANS TO ENLARGE ASHLAND RIFLE RANGE. GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL Items of Interest Gathered from Re liable Sources and Presented in Condensed Form to Our Readers. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Strict Campaign of Sanitation. Fees of the pure food commission during the month of March amounted to $4,943. Inspections made numbered 1,634. Of this number, 419 were gro cery and general merchandise stores, 1S9 were hotels and cafes, and 170 were meat markets and slaughter houses. In the process 216 sanitary orders were written and only seven teen complaints were filed. Commis sioner Harman has announced that particular attention would be given during the coming warm months to the enforcement of the sanitary food law. This means that the campaign against dirt in food, keeping food in unsanitary places and other violations of the statutes will be looked into j closely. More Land for Rifle Range. Instead of buying only 500 acres for the national guard rifle range at Ash land. Adjutant General Hal7 now plans to purchase about 900 acres in that vicinity, which will increase the out lay from $15,000 to $25,000. He has put the proposition up to the war de partment, and a letter received in re ply gives tentative approval to the plan. An army engineer will be sent to Nebraska to look over the land and report on it. The war department will furnish the money to buy the rifle rangs. and it may be used not only for target practice by the na tional guard of Nebraska, but also for regular army troops stationed at Omaha. The government already has one rifle range at Plattsmouth. County Agricultural Course*. One of the latest attempts of the Nebraska Agricultural College Exten sion Service to bring the college home to the people of the state is the county agricultural short course. One of the first of these courses has just been completed at Aurora at which sixtv five boys and thirty girls were en rolled, representing thirty-six rural districts. Similar county agricultural courses for the boys and girls of the state may be had by making applica tion through the county superintend ent and guaranteeing the expenses of the workers. The course includes in troductory illustrated lectures and demonstrations of various agricultural , studies and home economics. Official Political Roster.

This month or next is the time for the spring seeding of alfalfa, either in the eastern or western part of the state, according to the Nebraska Col lege of Agriculture. The advantage of planting now is that the plants may be given an early start on account of the spring rains. However, care must be taken to see that the alfalfa does not have to contend with a large crop of weeds, or it will be choked. The safest way to prevent a growth of weeds is to clean the ground by previ ous cultivation Skimming Loses Tenth of Cream From 10 to 25 per cent of the cream is left in the milk after skimming, says the dairy department of the Ne braska College of Agriculture. At the prevailing price of cream, butter fat makes pretty expensive hog feed. A separator removed practically all the cream from the milk. Chairman E. M. Pollard of the anti removal-organization of the state, re cently organized at Lincoln, has an about. Mav 1 LIGHTHOUSES OF THE DAY Structures Along French Coast Have Been Brought to High State of Perfection. Paris.—Some of the modern light houses which have been erected along the coast in France and other coun tries have now been brought to such perfection that they will send a beam for 50 to 60 miles out at sea. and in a few of the largest lighthouses this beam gives as much as three billion candlepcwer; for instance, in the I,a Coubre lighthouse erected on the At lantic In the region of Bordeaux or the newer one a Virgin island, the highest in the world (230 feet) at the entrance of the channel. Both of these use a powerful electric arc Showing the Interior Construction of the Beachy Head Lighthouse in England and the Arrangement of the Lenses. lamp which is surrounded by sets of lenses. ' Electric light is used in the great Hantsholm lighthouse in Denmark which is situated in the Skager Rack at the northwest coast of Jutland, this point being a dangerous one for ma riners on account of bad weather and heavy seas. Ships in great numbers pass this point in going from the North to the Baltic sea. The set of lenses is quite a compli cated one. and the whole is mounted on a platform so as to rotate bodily around the center arc lamp and thus produce a succession of flashes. At one side will be seen the powerful arc lamp with its regulating mechanism, which is here removed from its posi tion inside the lenses. It is naturally a difficult matter to rotate such a heavy body as the platform with the lenses. Here it is mounted on a set of rollers so as to turn around, but in other cases the problem is solved by using a ring shaped float under the table and this is made to float in a circular mercury trough so that the mercury takes all the weight of the table and allows it to turn with very little friction.—Popular Mechanics. . " -.. FARMER A LEPER FOR YEARS He Had Always Supposed That He Had Blood Poisoning In His Feet Astoria. Ore.—Risto Katajisto, a Finnish farmer residing near Winlock. Wash., on coming here for medical treatment for what he supposed was blood-poisoning in his feet was star- j tied to learn from the examining phy sician. Dr. Hartman, that he was af flicted with leprosy. According to the local physician, the case is of long standing, the d s ease being manifested on all parte of the patient's body. The man himself admitted that he had been suffering for five years with the disease, but did not know its nature, and had never consulted a physician. Dr. Hartman enlightened the man as to the nature of his ailment, and told him he could offer no aid. and Katajisto left for his home at Win lock on the evening train. Dr. Hartman at once notified the Washington state board of health as to his discovery. Katajisto is fifty seven years old. and has a wife and a number of children. He lives on a small farm in the vicinity of Winlock. WOMAN PUNCHES A PRISONER Boarding House Keeper Settles Grudge With Man Charged With Thefts.

"I don't live in this town,” he said, as he halted before a policeman on the corner. ‘'Well?" was queried. ‘‘I think I made a mistake back there.” ‘‘What’s the matter with your chin?” "A woman bit me, and that's why I think I made a mistake.” "How was it?” "Down on the next block the sewer is stopped up and there’s lot of water over the crossing. A woman stood with her toes in the edge of it, and thinking she wanted to cross I picked her up and carried her over." "And she bit you in return?” “She bit me and called me names. Can you see where I made a mistake?” “I'm! I can. She didn't want to cross.” "But she stood there?” “Yes, but she was simply getting her feet wet.” "What for?” “That she might go home and tell her husband that she had got to have $$ to get a pair of the spring and sum mer style of shoes, or go into quick consumption!” Grass Map. Manuel L. Quezon, resident com missioner from the Philippine islands, has an interesting map, sent him re cently. It is one representing the is lands, and is woven of a kind of fiber in different colors, some tints show ing the land and others water. Even the titles are wrought in colored grass. The whole thing is about three yards long by by two wide, and hangs on the wall of Mr. Quezon's room, a most conspicuous object to every vis itor. It is the work of the pupils of one of the native colleges. Near by is an oil painting of Wilson done by a Filipino artist, and admirably done, too. Its frame is of different kinds of wood, all hand-carved in graceful designs. Divorce Cure. Chauncey H. Depew, discussing the change for the worse in the ideals of the American girl, said, recently: “Our young women should think less of tango teas and automobiling. They would do well to return to the ideals which prevailed when I was a lad. These ideals included the ability to manage a house properly, an intelli gent supervision of children and a thorough knowledge of the kitchen. This last accomplishment, I think, should be given particular attention." Depew concluded, with a smile, “for many a good husband nowadays is spoiled in the cooking.” Its Result. "How does the new rug you got for the bottom of your motor car work?" "Oh, it is quite automat-ic.” A baby may not know much. But you will notice that it never cries for Its father when it is hungry. Tact is the leaven that prevents flattery from falling flat. UPWARD START After Changing from Coffee to Postum. Many a talented person Is kept back because of the interference of coffee with the nourishment of the body. This is especially so with those whose nerves are very sensitive, as is often the case with talented persons. There is a simple, easy way to get rid of coffee troubles and a Tenn. lady’s experience along these lines is worth considering. She says: “Almost from the beginning of the use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By the time I was fifteen I was almost a. nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no strength to endure the most trivial thing, either work or fun. “There was scarcely anything I could eat that would agree with me. The little I did eat seemed to give me more trouble than It was worth. I was literally starving; was so weak I could not sit up long at a time. ’’It was then a friend brought me a hot cup of Postum. I drank part of it and after an hour I felt as though 1 had had something to eat — felt strengthened. That was about five years ago. and after continuing Post um in place of coffee and gradually yetting stronger, today I can eat and Jigest anything 1 want, walk as much is I want.
