IVI MEXICAN GENERALS TURN AGAINST THE PRESIDENT. AND ARREST HIM--GENERAL HUERTA PROCLAIMED PROVISIONAL RULER. IS OVERTHROWN The City of Mexico, Feb. I. Madero has been forced out of the presidency.
He was arrested at the national palace shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon by General Blanquet. Gen. Victoriano Huerta, commander of the federal troops, was proclaimed provisional president. About the time Madero was seized by Blanquet, his brother, Gustavo Madero, the former minister of finance, was arrested by General Huerta, who was dining with him in a public restaurant. All members of the cabinet promptly were placed under arrest, with the exception of Ernesto Madero, the uncle of the president, who had the portfolio of finance.
He escaped. The direct movement against Madero was the result of a plot. It had been brewing since yesterday, and possibly existed with Blanquet for a greater length of time. SALINA iS PAVING TOO, County Commissioner B. F.

Louis king of Hungary and Poland, with the princes of Bosnia, Servia and Wallachia, had decided to conquer the sultan, a task that the Greeks had been unable to manage. The Turks were only half as strong as the allies, but the commander took advantage of the intoxication of the allies to make a sudden night attack. The Slavs were aroused by the beating of the Turkish drums. "The Ottomans were upon them before they could stand to arms. They were like wild beasts scared from their lair." says Sa'd-ud-Din.

Blood Ito Onto is Whole Story Wonderful Specific for Sciatica, Lumbago, and a Cure for Dreaded Articular Rheumatism. There is a host of pills, powders, tablets and what not for rheumatism, but they all lack the first essential to being a natural medicine.
To begin with, rheu. matism is simply a name given to designate a variety of pains, and can only be reached by irrigating the entire blood supply with a naturally assimilative antidote. True, the pains may be eased with narcotics or the acids may be neutralized for the being with other acids. But these merely temporize and do not even lead to a cure. There is but one standard, rheumatism remedy, and it reflects the best thought day.
It is prepared in the great Swift Laboratory in Atlanta, and sold in all drug stores under the name of S. S. S. at $1.00 a bottle. Starvation has been advocated by many as a cure for rheumatism, and yet S.
S. S. accomplishes in fact what faddists proclaim in theory and without the punishment of starvation. Hot springs and sweating are often recommended, but S. S.
S. does all that is expected of these expensive and weakening methods. It is conceded by the closest students of the subject that rheumatism is caused in most cases an acid condition of the blood and aggravated by the remedies commonly used for relief. In other cases rheumatism is the result of nerve depression; in still others it is the effect of some scrofulous blood condition, having been treated with mercury, lodides, arsenie and other poisonous mineral drugs. The recoveries of all these types of rheumatism by the use of S.
S. S. is a wonderful tribute to the natural efficacy of this remarkable medicine, for it is similated just as naturally, just as specifically, and just as well ordained as the most acceptable, most palatable and most readily digested food. Do not fail to get a bottle of S. S.

Household Articles: Masquerading In Many Amusing Disguises. A kitchen shower may be lifted out of the commonplace and be made interesting, even artistic and certainly amusing by dressing up each article given until it looks like something else. The costuming needed for such masquerading is plenty of crape paper, bolts of cheap baby ribbon and a paper of pins. A clotheshorse. two or three ply.
could be hung ou each side with brown paper to resemble a screen of hard wood. Even more amusing would be a decorated screen with caricatures drawn or pasted to the flat paper surface. The rolling pin may be rolled with blue or pink paper tied on the handles with fluffy bows and bave a veil neatly fastened round It to represent a veil roll. Clothesline can be rolled round and round and woven into place with baby ribbon until it looks like one of the woven mats used for front steps. Decorate buckets and wooden pails with paper, frills and paper towers until they resemble gay trash baskets.
Get a half dozen flat wire egg beaters, tie the handles of two together with light wire and make a wire hook to resemble a coat hanger. Wind the entire framework with strips of crape paper and tie on a huge tissue paper bow. Give a set of three of the hangers. Fashion a jardiniere made from the lid of a wooden box, in which put, point down, a fence of paring knives with the handles up. Weave in strips of crape paper in sereral colors and leave only the tips of the handles showing as a border.
Fill the center with a potted plant. Egg beaters and potato mashers make amusing dolls, with heads made from potatoes. apples or painted rags and a body made, so the utensil will stand, from rolls of cardboard. Dress in tissue paper hat and gown. Clothespins may be turned into amusing dolls with crape paper, using marshmallows for heads, each decorated with features in black ink.
To present these dolls erect fill a long baking dish with moss or sand and stick the pins into it. Drape the pan with double frills of neutral tinted paper, so as not to detract from the gayety of the dolls. It adds to the fun if the hostess gives. prizes for the best disguise, the most artistic and the most, grotesque; also prizes for those of her guests who get greatest and the second greatest list of utensils before the masquerade is revealed.

CUMMINGS I was a telegraph operator for the Central Pacific railroad in one' of the important stations when one day I re ceived an order to go out for a few days to a station some twenty miles from where I was working, and take the place of an operator there who was ill. G.
was merely a place for the stopping of trains! The day after 1 went to work at G. station I noticed a rough man looking at me. It seemed to me that he was saying to himself, "With that girl alone a man who wanted to control the station would have an easy time of it." Bat I was aware that my imagination was highly stimulated 31.11 ct 1 was in a condition to fancy that any tan who cast an eye on me was about to murder me. Neverthe less after this man had gone I took a revolver out of the drawer of my operating table and hung it around my waist. under my dress skirt.
with a string. and in order that I might get at it easily 1 made a rip in a seam of my skirt. As to using it I was in a singular state of mind. Unless I was threat ened with death or something worse if didn't seem to me that I could pos: sibly use it. But in this event I knew I could.
I had read accounts of how train robbers acted toward station agents they desired to control. and in no instance had they injured him. En gineers and express messengers they had always shot to kill. What I expected in case I was interfered with was that I would simply be removed from the operating table, but not hurt 80 long as I made no But train robbers were not the only danger I feared. I conjured up every conceivable injury from a mouse to a madman and invented methods of resistance.
some of which-especially as to the madman very ingenious. But in no case did I dream of making the slightest opposition unless in defense of my own self. The sending of a woman to such a place was very reprehensible in the management, for it was simply an invitation to any gang who might have possible intentions to rob a train to make it easy for themselves by putting the operator out of commission and regulating the movement of trains themselves. provided they were able to work the wires. and in this case the invitation was accepted.
One after noon in broad daylight, but when there was no one except myself in the station. two masked men entered and before 1 could touch the operating key ordered me away from it. I went to the other end of the little telegraph office and was directed to sit down in a chair there. I was too frightened to consider what they said to each other, but one of them sat down at the table in a way that convinced me that he understood telegraphing. The other waited A few moments.
then said something to his companion and went out. By this time I had regained some of my equanimity. The man sitting at the table presented his back to me. If I had been a man doubtless, he would not have taken any such And as it was as soon as his pal had gone out he turned and looked me over. showing by his expression that he was wondering if I could communicate in any way with the outside world.
There seemed to be no possibility of my doing so. and 1 suppose I looked as I felt--that I was bordering on a state of collapse. have often since been surprised at the rapidity with which I regained my thinking power. The first great restorative was a consciousness that. being a woman and the men bent on some crime with which I was connected only as an operator, I was sate from harm so long as I remained a noncombatant.
The first thing I noticed outside my own personality was the trousers the man at the table wore. The pattern was the same as worn by the man whom I had caught; eying me a short time before. There was a possibility of my identifying him. Presently he began to click the key, and I read a message notifying the express. that was nearly, due: that the road was clear.
At this a marvelous change came over me. I pictured a conductor. an engineer. an express messenger. one or all, shot to death and an express car robbed.
The loss of treasure did not move me, but the sight I conjured up of these men lying weltering in their blood made a Hon of me. took no thought for myself or the frightful, danger I ran. Seizing the revolver under my skirt. whipped it out and co*cked it. The man, hearing a click, turned instantly, grasping a revolver he had laid on the table.
There was not an instant for consideration. My own life and the lives of others shut out the horror of my deed. I Bred without aim, only in his direction, but the bullet pierced 'his Children Cry for Fletcher's A CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and has been made under his hatH sonal Allow no one supervision to deceive since its in infancy. this. you Ill Counterfeits, Imitations and Just-as-good" are but Experiments that trifle with and endanger the health of nfants and Children--Experience against Experiment.

He fell, and in another moment I had sent the words: "Train robber here! Keep away!" That was the last of consciousness for me till I was aroused by a woman who had come into the station to make an inquiry The robber must have carried away the body of the man I had killed. for it was not there. They had not waited for the express to come. Since then neither the road nor the express company has been able to do enough for me. and I am considered a heroine.
