ALLEGES JIG PLOT MEXICAN CLAIMS U. S. FOSTERS REVOLUTION. WILL SHOW UP CONSPM Moheno Coming to This Country to Reveal What He Says Is the Crime of the Age. Vera Cruz.—Querido Moheno, for mer Mexican minister to commerce and labor, before departing on board the Espagne for Cuba and the United States, virulently criticised the policy of the United States toward Mexico. As he sat in the forward saloon of the French liner. Senor Maheno look ed through a port hole toward the American flag flying at Vera Cruz and shook his fist in rage. He insisted that he was in a posi tion to produce proofs that there ex isted a "secret platform" of Lie pro gressive party in the United States of which Colonel Roosevelt was cogni zant and in which he concurred, look ing to the disruption of Mexico and the acquisition ultimately by the United States of all the territory be tween the Rio Grande and Panama. He said that Francisco Escudero, who was minister of foreign relations in Venustiano Carranza's cabinet, has letters which to him are conclusive evidence of his allegations and de clared he hoped' to be able to produce these letters at the proper time. “And not only were the leaders of the progressive party' pledged to this policy." he added, “but politicians of both the republican and democratic parties had promised their secret sup port. That President Wilson himself had subscribed to this iniquitous con spiracy is evidenced by his attitude toward Mexico. Not a single Amer ican in all the hundred million popu lation of the United States can give a satisfactory answer as to why those troops are there on shore in Vera Cruz." "To show up President Wilson s crime against Mexico—the greatest in the history of modern nations" is the announced object of Senor Moheno's trip to the United States. Dr. Cole Loses Suit. New York.—Commercialized use of Christian Science teaching has been held by the appellate division of tbe supreme court to be illegal. The conviction in a lower court of Willis Vernon Cole, for practicing medicine without a license when he accepted fees for Christian Science treatment, was sustained. The higher court, in its opinion, answered in the negative its premise. Is the commercialized use of pray er for the avowed purpose of treating all persons seeking cure for all kinds of bodily ills the practice of the re ligious tenets of a church? Coie, formerly a sculptor and a poet, testified at his trial that his practice brought him an annual in come of $6,000; that he had never studied medicine; that he never so licited fees, but accepted those offer ed him. Bureau Issues Statement. Washington.—In connection with “The recent phenomenon of an ex cess of imports over exports in April and May,” the Department of Com merce, in a statement on the com merce of the world and international balances of trade, announced that the net export balance of the United States probably would exceed $400, 000,000 for the current fiscal year. This would be about $250,000,000 less than last year’s balance. The department pointed out that a large proportion of the older and more advanced nations show an ex cess of imports over exports of mer chandise. Canada shows a balance on the import side but nearly all other American countries show larger ex ports. Salem Receives Federal Aid. Washington—Congress appropriated $200,00 for the relief of sufferers from the Salem, Mass., fire. The house, in spite of vigorous opposition, led by j Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropria tion committee, accepted, by a vote of 161 to 66, a senate amendment to the sundry civil bil to provide the money.

A story hour has been added to the work of the supervised public play grounds at North Platte. Miss Mabel Duke is in charge of the new depart ment. Wheat and oats yields in the vicin ity of Fairfield are large and the corn crop is in good condition. Potatoes are running to tops and the yield will not be large. The question of providing a five mill levy for four years, for the purpose of building a new court house will be submitted to the voters of Lincoln county on August 18. Harvesting in the vicinity of Har vard is almost completed an<l the yield has run from thirty to fortv bushels per acre. The corn and al falfa crops are in good condition. Citizens of North Platte have be come aroused over the many fires of incendiary origin that have occurred. All loiterers or night prowlers are to be given quicK Justice from now on.

The second of the series of Market weeks, inaugurated by Omaha busi ness men. will be held in Omaha dur ing August. Invitations will be sent to dealers in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota, requesting them to visit Omaha and be the guests of the jobbers and manufacturers during the week. The name of the boy whose body | was taken from the Missouri river a mile below the Northwestern railroad bridge near Blair was James Bushus. jr., aged 8 years. He was drowned by his tricycle sliding into the river at Sioux City on Sunday, Jnne 21. His father. James Bushus. identified the body. While excavating for the new Up land school building, Elmer Bunger found a lower jaw of mastoden amer icanus with ten teeth ranging in size i front 2x2*4 inches to *4x\4 inch. The bone crumbled up on removal from the yellow clay in which it was found, but the teeth are in perfect condition. This Is the first specimen of the kind I found in this locality. Grant C. Brown, car foreman for the Rock Island at Fairbury has a force of forty-five men. including car repairers and carpenters, engaged In coopering cars for grain service. The force is the largest in the history of the company there. Owing to a short age of box cars, the company is coop ering stock cars to haul grain. New grain is already being moved to the Kansas City markets. Arthur Warner, a youth of about IS years, was drowned in Medicine river near Stockville. He was in swimming with some boys. The water is high on account of recent rains and the current took him down. Hall county agricultural enthusiasts are industriously boosting the county fair. The county agricultural society has just been organized. President L. C. Lawson was In Lincoln la-'1 week, inspecting the latest improve ments on the State Fair grounds. A number of these innovations will be used in the new buildings at Grand Island. Ben Roeson. who claims Chariton, la., as his home, has been sentenced to serve ninety days in the Lincoln county jail for robbing the home of Ed Hostetter, near Maxwell. Mrs. John Petker, who lives near Charleston, dropped her 8-year-old daughter from the second story of her residence and then jumped after hex. Two ribs were broken and Mrs. Pet ker was badly burned. The fire was caused by the explosion of lamp which Mrs. Petker was carrying down stairs. Mr. Petker extinguished the flames before they reached outside the house. PREPARE JR ROSE RAILWAY COMMISSION PLANNING TO MOVE CROP. NO CAR SH0RTA6E THUS FAR Movement of Grain Will be Controlled Largely by Prevailing Prices, It Is Thought. Lincoln.—Preparations for oversee 'ing the handling of the immense crops that Nebraska farmers have harvested and are yet to harvest, are being made by the state railway commis sion. Car reports are being carefully scrutinized as they come into the com mission offices and experts are at work making comparisons with other i years and gathering information as to the probable distribution that will have to be made the present year. No calls have come to the commis sion thus far for car relief. But it will not be long before complaints and orders will be surfeiting commission affairs. The body's activity in this regard is to see that fair play prevails In railroad attitudes toward shippers, that cars are kept on the move and that empty car distribution is kept up with demand. Prices of two or three weeks hence j are looked to govern the movement ! almost entirely. If they hold up well j there will likely be a decided rush for \ the elevators and grain will begin to move in tremendous quantities. If the price falls off there will be much j grain held. That will almost certainly 1 mean a heavy movement in the fall : and during the winter, and will come : at a time when part of the heavy corn crop will be in tie process of • move- i ment, It will burden the railroads down in that event more than for sev- i eral years. Warts Maneuvers at Ashland. Lincoln. — Because Commander-In Chief Morehead of the Nebraska Na tional guard believes expenditure of federal and state funds should go toward improvement of the Ashland rifle range in Nebraska rather than Camp Dodge in Iowa, he has ordered General Hall to use all energy at his command to hold this year's maneuv er camp in this state instead of in Hawkeye territory. By so doing it is believed that some $42,000 that would pass needlessly out of Nebraska would be conserved here. The matter is still the subject of discussion between General Hal! and the federal war department. Nebras kans in Washington, including Secre tary of State Bryan and Senator Hitchcock, will be asked to further the effort- If the plan goes through a company of regular army infantry- 1 men. along with a number of detach ed regular army officers, will be sent to Ashland to participate with the guardsmen in the maneuvers. Reports of federal inspection of all companies of the Nebraska guard were forwarded (General Hall from j Washington. The work of the guard j is complemented therein, the Omaha companies coming in for particularly favorable mention. Work to Begin at Early Date. Lincoln.—As a result of a confer ence between Thomas J. Majors and A. L. Caviness of the state normal board and J. H. Craddock of Omaha, architect, who will make plans for the new building at the Peru state normal school, work will be begun as soon as possible. The building will cost $83,000. A levy of S5 per cent of a mill has been made for the state normal schools by the legislature and the board has apportioned the amount and each institution will take Its turn in having a building erected. Loss Shown In Forty-nine Counties. Lincoln.—The increase of over $1,000,000 which was made by the j first thirty-eight counties reporting to the secretary of the State Board ol I Assessment has been cut down by the last eleven so that there is a loss for the forty-nine counties of $849,761, Douglas and Lancaster counties have not yet reported and it is thought that the increase in these counties will help to bring the valuation of the state up to somewhere near what it was last year. Complains of Charge. J. W. Shorthill. secretary of the Nebraska Farmers' Co-operative Grain and Live Stock association of Hampton, has filed a complaint with, the state railway commission against the South Omaha Stock Yards asso ciation, claiming that the stock yards company makes yarding charge of 8 cents on hogs when but 6 cents is charged by Kansas City and St. Joseph. Two Cents Per Mile Allowed. Lincoln.—Because railroads of the state in several instances of competi tive rates between common points have been allowed to increase to 2 cents flat per mile, dissatisfied citi zens are said to be planning a legal attack on the action of the railway commission. The present state of the 2-cent pas senger fare law, however, indicates that the step would be a hard one to i accomplish. The law allows railroads ! to charge not pore than 2 cents per j mile, hence they are entitled to that, j Portray Indian Life at State Fair. Lincoln.—Scenes from Indian life in the pioneer days of Nebraska will be reproduced at the Nebraska state fair this fall. The band of “first inhabitants" of the state will come from the vicinity of Chadron. Indian village life will be portrayed. There will be four ex citing Indian dances. These will be the Omaha, tj»e ghost, the wolf and the scalp dances. This will not be a Wild West performance in an ysense of the word, but a genuine Indian en tertainment VALLEY OF ESK BEAUTIFUL England. Perhaps. Possesses No More Gorgeously Picturesque Spot Than This Stretch of Land. London.—There is, perhaps, no more beautiful spot In all England than the valley of the Esk. which stretches from the sea to beneath the heights of grim Sc&fell. The Gatehouse estate midway up this valley possesses beau tiful gardens and a glorious view. Oa an outlying spur of fell above the grounds a Japanese garden has lately been called into being as by a magi cian's wand. The site is ideal: a cup on the hill top. which was formerly a peaty swamp dotted with great bould ers and slopes and gray granite, has been transformed into a quaint and beautiful garden The bog. skilfully drained and utilized, has formed a chain of tiny lakes, spanned here and Three Hundred-Year-Old Japanese Tombstone. there by humpbacked bridges. In the 8tiU waters of one pool a tea-house is reflected: there is a pergola which will presently be a dream of delight with wistaria and climbing roses: beds of irises and yater plants fringe the pools, masses of azalea give a wealth of very rich color, and a big magnolia in full bloom testifies to the climate, of the Dale. In pockets among the great boulders grow many rare plants, and cherry and flowering trees are planted with a lavish hand. Bamboo flourishes, and curious evergreen trees and shrubs are everywhere. Here and there are quaint old Japa nese temple stones, brought from Ja pan. They are ancient, and the weath ered gray granite of which they are made harmcnizes well with their new home. The hollow of the fell top is sheltered from the winds that sweep over the mountains. It is a beautiful spot. Behind rises the gloomy bulk of the Screes, that line of inhospitable mountain rising sheer from the black depths of Lake Wast Water, the deep est of the English lakes. To the north lies Scafell. though it is Ju6t hidden from the Japanese garden by other lesser heights. To the west is the sea, beyond a majestic mountain known as Muncaster fell. On clear days the Isle of Man is plainly visible, a fairy iBle with a blue line of distant moun tains on the far horizon. To the south are more mountains. It is a wonder ful achievement, this little oasis of the mountains, for the soil for planting had to be brought from below. Great ingenuity has been shown in the work ing out of its original conceptionf and it is a valuable addition to already beautiful gardens. It is also an <Jb ject-lesson in an art which the Chelsea flower show has shown us is flour ishing very healthily. — WHERE WIVES ARE SCARCE Medical Missionary to Labrador De clares They Are Very Scarce in That Country. London.—Dr. Grenfell, the famous medical missionary in Newfoundland and Labrador, entertained a great au dience at the Queen's hail with stories of life in wild Labrador. "Wives are so scarce in Labrador." he said, "that the Moravian Mission ary society has made it a rule that if a woman's husband dies she must be a widow for at least a fortnight. "Just before Christmas I had lunch with the late Lord Strathcona—or, rather. I had lunch while he watched, as he had not lunched for 50 years. Lord Strathcona asked me how the hospital he gave us was getting on, and 1 had to tell him it was not doing so well, as the boilers had blown out. " ‘Get the best set of boilers you can put in immediately, and send the bill to me.’ he said." ‘MINDS DIRTY: BODIES CLEAN’ Dr. J. J. Walsh Says in Address That Condition Is Reversed Since Shakespeare's Time. Baltimore. Md.—“In the 350 years since Shakespeare we have prog ressed from dirty bodies and clean minds to clean bodies and dirty minds, a doubtful betterment." said Dr. James J. Walsh of New York, former dean of the medical department of Pordham university, in an address to the students of Loyola college. He said modern educators have lost the secret of education, which is discip line—the training of the will and mind. CHILDREN’S PET KILLS MAN Babe, Giant Elephant, Noted for Gen tleness. Mangles Its Keeper at Park In Toledo, O. Toledo. O.—In the presence of sev eral thousand persons. Michael Rad datz, animal trainer at Walbridge park, Toledo, w-as killed by “Babe,” a giant elephant- Raddatz had brought the elephant out harnessed up to give his children their usual Sunday ride. Suddenly the elephant hurled the keeper to the ground and mangled him with Its tusks. The elephant was subdued by the head keeper. THE SHORT CUT TO HEALTH is by way of the Stomach, Liver and Bowels.

Physicians on this side of the At lantic are experimenting with garlic as a possible cure for the dreaded tu berculosis. A Dublin doctor has been working on the theory’ for some years past with considerable success and has published a book upon it, and although it is too soon yet to tell of results in this country, it is being tried at the Metropolitan hospital in New York. It is said that there is little tuber culosis in Italy, where garlic chewing is a national habit, and that in this country it is the Italian children who have given up chewing garlic who suc cumb to the "great white plague." Garlic contains a chemical substance called allyl sulphide in the percent age of two drops to a teaspoonful of juice, which is much stronger than the amount of the same chemical found in onions or shallots. It is this drug which, it is claimed, destroys the tubercular bacilli. Garlic juice is said to act quick ly UDon tuberculosis of the throat, which heretofore has been almost im possible to treat, and application of the juice to lupus (tuberculosis of the skin) has excellent results unless the disease is of long standing.
