PRESIDENT SENDS A
URGING RECIPROCITY.

Duty Our Ret

STRYCHNINE IN THEIR FOOB.
af Plymouth Tam Up Ovac Pei-
WASHINGTON!, Jane- .13L After
talking with a number of the leaders
is congress regarding Cuban reciproc
ity President Roosevelt yesterday de-
terstined to send a message to con
gress reaffirming his attitude oa the
subject.
The president has earnestly consid
ered the matter for several days and
it is stated that the action of the
anti-reciprocity republican senators
yesterday in deciding to hold out
against the policy advocated by the
majority of the party did not influ
ence the president in the least in de
ciding . to transmit his message to
congress today.
The president's action, it may be
stated, from sources close to him. was
influenced by the broad proposition
of the duty of the United States to
Cuba and of fairness to the new re
public. It has been pointed out to the pres
ident that his -warmest political sup
port is in the section of the country
where there is the greatest opposition
to reciprocity, the west and north
west, and that he should remain con
tent with the stand he had taken
- without accentuating his views in a
special message.
It is known, however, that the
president did not hesitate to arrive
at the conclusion that he would not
let his political prospects interfere
with what he regarded as his plain
duty. It is further known that he
told his friends that it was a source
of greet regret to him to take a posi
tion hostile to the wishes of his
warmest supporters, but that he felt
it would not be in keeping with his
cwn nature and his position of chief
executive to longer remain silent on
this subject and thereby given an op
portunity for false speculation as to
his attitude.
The president was further led to
conclude that the relations of the
United States and Cuba must neces
sarily grow closer and that the Unit
ed States should not at the outset,
after its declared purposes toward
the island, assume a position contrary
thereto and thus arouse the suspicions
of the Cuban government as to our
real intentions toward it.
It is stated that the president's pos
itive declaration in his message as to
the duty of congress probably will
,end his active efforts to bring about
reciprocity.
FAIRBURY, Nelk, Jane 1- The
towm of Plymonth, in the northeast
part st the eoanty, has coaatdcraHe
excitement over a. poisoning
seems to have no plausible
ticTL A. small circus which travels in.
one car stopped, there, and while the
company, numbering- twenty-two peo
ple im aB, were at sapper they were
poisoned. The manager, Charles Kia
nearew, and wife escaped. bt a Miss
Myrtle Boyles of Topeka and a Mrs.
E. W. Dilger, a contortionist, were so
severely poisoned that it was feared
they would not recover, while the bal
ance of the company were more or
less affected. The two ladiese who
were so badly affected were taken to
the hotel, and their food was prepared
respectively under the supervision of
Mrs. Dllger's husband-and Miss-Boyles'
brother. After eating a small portion
of toast prepared in this manner, the
two women became violently ill again
and doctors from this city were sum
moned, who pronounced it strychnine
poisoning.
The county attorney was in Ply
mouth investigating the case, but he
can find no evidence upon which to
make an arrest. There were some
circumstances surrounding the first
poisoning that directed some suspicion
towards Henry Beno, a freak who re
cently joined the show and who eats
glass, swallows all kinds of poisons,
and does other seemingly impossible
feats, but as he could not possibly
have had anything to do with the sec
ond dose the mystery oniy deepens.

Dodge County Fanner Struck by a
Train and Killed.
SNYDER, Neb., June 16. Charles
Foegler. a farmer living four miles
southeast of Dodge, met a horrible
death a mile and a half west of this
place. His body was found on the Elk
horn railroad tracks by a crew on
board a westbound train. It was man
gled in fearful fashion, every limb be
ing severed and broken, the head
crashed to pulp, the trunk cut to pieces
and internal organs jtorn from their
fastenings. Foegler was in town the
day before doing some trading and
while here drank: a good deal. He was
intoxicated when he started to walk
home in the evening, and it is sup
posed that he lay down to sleep on
the track; where an eastbound train
struck him.

Result Marks the End of an Arduous
and Uphill Campaign.
WASHINGTON, June 14. The ex
pected happened yesterday when the
house passed the irrigation bill by a
comfortable majority. This result,
which is so gratifying to the advo
. rates of tha reclamation of the arid
land regions gave the subject an im-
mination of one of the most remark
able contests in the present session
of congress. President Roosevelt's
recommendation for legislation look
ing to the reclamation of the arid
land regions gave the subject and im
petus early in the session, and it was
generally predicted at the time that
the bill drafted by the friends of ir
rigation would be one of the first
placed upon the statute books. The
bill passed the senate without a roll
call, and then it was that the leaders
of the house decided to consign it to
the graveyard of legislative hopes.
-For a time the prospect looked dark.
. but a careful campaign was made and
the result of it was the passage of
the bill yesterday in the face of the
determined opposition on the part of
potential leaders of the house.
" Thanks Roosevelt and Congress.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., June 14. The
Cheyenne Board of Trade tonight pass

representatives in congress for their
efforts in securing the passage of the

velt for his kindly cooperation.
Arrested on Burglary Charge.
WILBER, Neb., June 16. A deputy
sheriff and jailer from Lancaster coun
ty were here after Walter Dillon and
Charles Bennett, who were wanted to
answer a charge of burglary at Ben
net. They have been in jail here since
last December, having been arrested
on a minor charge at the time Stein
Bros.' store was burglarized at Friend
and afterwards held for aiding a fel
low prisoner to escape.
Overdose Causes Death.
HASTINGS. Neb.. June 16. Mrs.
Leora Falkenstein of Riverton, Neb.,
was found dead in bed at the home
of Mrs. Emma D. Sailed, whom she
had been visiting during the past few
days. A coroner's inquest was held
and it was found that she came to her
death by an overdose of poisonous
medicine, which she had taken accidentally.
WASHINGTON, June 13. The re
publican senators who are friendly to
the beet sugar Indastry and who ap
pose the proposed legislation for a re
duction cf the tariff on Cuban products,
held a conference of almost two hours
duration and decided to continue their
opposition to the reciprocity- proposi
tion. They'wilTdo this by announcing to
the advocates of the tariff reduction
that they will cast their votes for the
reciprocity bill as it passed the house,
indicating the Morris amendment for
the abolition of the differential due to
refined sugar and that they will re
sist all amendments that may he offer
ed to it. They will propose two al
ternatives, one of these is to drop the
subject and make no further attempt
to secure reciprocity legislation; the
other is to accept the rebate plan. The
conference was held in Senator Ekin's
committee room.
The committee of conciliation con
sisting of Senators Elkins, Burrows
and Jones of Nevada, appeared to con
fer with the senators cf the Cuba com
mittee at the outset, reported that they
had failed to secure concessions from
the opposition.
The effect of the Thurber testimony
was thoroughly considered immediate
ly following this report. Account of
those present and of those absent and
known to be in sympathy with the
movement led to the conclusion that
there are at least nineteen republican
senators who can be depended upon to
stand together in any coarse agreed on.
Counting the full democratic vote as
favorable to the house bill the beet
sugar advocates conclude that a prop
osition to pass the measure that could
ositioa to pass the measure would
be the strongest that could be
put forward. The combination of
the two forces would give a total of
fifty-two votes, or seven more than a
majority. There was objection on the
part of some of the senators to an ac
ceptance of the house bill carrying the
abolition of the refined sugar differen
tial with the reciprocal provision, but
it was pointed out that by no other
course were the beet sugar senators
sure of receiving the full democratic
vote. The suggestion also was made
that rather than see the house go to
a vote under such conditions the
friends of the Cuan reciprocity either
would accept a reate plan or permit
the session to come to a close without
making further attempt to secure ac
tion. This line of reasoning prevailed and
the decision of the conference was
unanimous. It was decided to continue
the conference committee, with in
structions to present the facts as here
detailed to the republican members al
the committee on relations with Cuban
to other senators who advocate straight
reciprocity.
The committee in making its report
on past efforts to secure harmonious
action by the republican senators dwelt
at sozce length on the details of the
ill proposed by the reciprocity advo
cates. They pointed out with special
emphasis the amendment aolishing
the public provision requiring Cuba's
acceptance of American immigration,
labor and exclusion laws. This action,
it was declared, would give at least
the partial effect of bringing Amer
ican workingmen into competition
with cheap foreign labor, and it was
spoken cf as being most objectionable

TUCSON. A. T., June 12. Colonel
William Christy, president of the Val
ley bank. Phoenix, arrived here today
from Brietas, Sonora, with details of
of Taqui Indians, men.
and children, yesterday in the
Santa Rosa canyon, sixty-five miles
tram the Minas Prietas mines, by a
detachment of General Torres troops.
It appears tt the Yaqui forces that
were operating in that section had
moved forth into the mountains, leav
ing their women and children in Santa
Rosa canyon under a guard of eighty
men. The Mexican troops came upon
this camp and without any warning
opened a terrible fire, sparing neither
women nor children. After the first
volley the troops charged down upon
the panic-stricken victims and massa
cred all within their reach. Of the
guard of eighty Yaqui3 not a single
one survived and over 100 women and
children fell victims to the Mexican
bullets and bayonets.
The bodies of the dead were left in
the canyon and the remaining women
and children were driven to Minas
Prietas by the soldiers and from that
point will be taken to Hermosillo.
The Mexican soldiers and rurales
haxe explicit orders to take no Yaqui
men prisoners, but to kill in all cases.
This orders was illustrated yesterday,
when a friendly Yaqui miner came
down to Prietas for supplies and was
killed by the rurales on the outskirts
of the town.
Colonel Christy says the massacre
occurred at daybreak Monday morn
ing. The troops were of Torre's com
mand, but not under him personally,
and numbered 600. The Yaquis, m
clndinz men. women and children.
were over 300. The canyon in which
the Yaquis were camped wa3 a long
and narrow oae.
Word was brought to Torres at Mi
nas Prietas Sunday night that the
main body of Yaquis had left the
Santa Rose canyon and gone further
into the mountains, leaving their
women and children in the canyon
with a small guard of men. Torres
dispatched 600 troops to block the
mouth of the canyon and surrounded
the Yaquis. His instructions were to
kill all men and boys capable of bear
ing arms.
The men secreted themselves along
the sides of the canyon, having
blocked the entrance. At daylight
they poured a terrible and deadly fire
on the unsuspecting Yaquis, killing
men. women and children indiscrim
inately. Many of the killed were
mere, infants. The slaughter, Christy
says, was fearfuL The Mexican troops
only stopped their fearful work of
shooting and bayoneting their victims
when exhausted from their labors.

NEBRASKA CREAMERY INTEREST.
Tha Large Shipment that Has Been
Made from Kearney.
OMAHA, Neb. June 14. The mng
nitude of the dairy industry in Ne
braska and the extent of ile business
done by the Beatrice Creamery com
pany at its central plan in Lincoln
is indicated by the shipment of cream
from the town of Kearney. State
Food Commissioner S. C. Bassett re
ports that within twenty-two days
$25,000 worth of cream was shipped
from that town. Fully 80 per cent
of this was sent to the Beatrice Cream
ery company at Lincoln. The rest
was sent to Omaha. The cream was
gathered along the Black Hills road
and other lines in that part of the
state, but most of it came from Buf
falo county, in which Kearney is sit
uated. Mr. Bassett believes the dairy
products shipped out of Kearney in
one year will amount to a quarter of a
million dollars. The record for twenty-two
days shows that over $1,000 i3
distributed in that part of Nebraska
from cream alone. With cash for
cream and good prices for cows and
with alfalfa to feed and sell, the farm
ers of Nebraska are considered fortu
nate.
