MORE TIME FOR DIVORCES.
An Iowa legislator lias pro
posed a plan which seems a
good one for dealing with the
divorce problem. He has in
troduced a bill which provides
that a petition for divorce can
not be heard until a year after
it is filed. This is to prevent
hurry in dissolving the wedd
ing contract and to give the
husband and wife time to think
it over. That seems to he a
fair bill. Jt takes no stand
against divorce as an institu
tion, but simply says that aflei
the petition has been tiled r
year, an dthe parties still foe1
that they cannot live together,
then the petition may he heard.

back. It took them five days
to make the trip in hut they

stiff they had no trouble with
it. Mike Wadding is in towm

REDUCING THE HIGH
COST OF LIVING
The present day agitation of
the problems presented by the
high cost of livmg has caused
many real or would-be experts
to spimg new theories concern
ing the best methods of re
ducing (he cost of living upon
the public. Some time ago
one of (lie students of Cornell
worked out a plan which would
enable a person to live on 8r»
cents a week. Now an ambit
ious New York student of ec
onomics has “gone him one
nelter” by disclosing how a per
son could comfortably live on
r‘ cents ad ay. Cornmeal, oat
meal and beans form the chief
components of the dipt sug
gested and the amount of food
Ip be consumed is limited to
2 f-2 ounces of food per meal.
The figures given by the orig
inator pf the new theory, io
prove that this diet would am
ply suffice for the needs of
the body, as they contain ail
the prptpip, earhonhydrates,
etc,, required by the human
system, are quite impressive
but scarcely convincing to the
average individual.

Falcon Joslin, president of
(he Tftnana Mines Railway
company, is in Germany, in
vestigating the workings of the
Zeppelin airships. Should
these airships appear feasible
for- passengers and light
freight traffic, it is the plan of
Mr. Joslin to establish airship
lines in various part of Alaska.
The first line to be established
in Alaska will be betweep Chit
ina and Fairbanks, The mail
contracts expires next year on
this route, and this is said to be
another incentive for Mr. Jos
lyn’s present investigations.
The Zeppelin airship is prov
ing a great success and is
thought to be a solution of the
transportation problem in new
countries. An airship of this
type can carry twenty or more
passengers and travel at a
speed of forty miles an hour,

Mexico City, Feb. 24—Madero
has been killed. Yesterday
Huerta ordered that Madero
and Suarez be removed from
fhe National Palace to the Pen
itentiary under a heavy special
guard. They had proceedco
but a short distance when the\
were attacked by a Liberating
Party and the party of guards
were overcome. After the fray
it was found that both Mader *
and Suarez were dead. Ma
dero had been shot in the back
of the head and death was iii
staiitanious while Suarez had
numerous bullet holes through
his body. Huerta claims that
the Liberating party are re
sponsible but the people are
suspicious and fear that it is a
case of deliberate murder and
arec lamering for a full inves
tigation. An autopsy has been
held but the result has not been
made public and the wives and
families of the murdered men
are prostrated by the news.
The people were always fight
ing against the oppresion by
the soldiers lnit more public
posts and offices are held by
the military through Mexico to
day than there ever were unde.'
the, old Diaz administration.
The members of the British
colony have tendered a vote 01
thanks to Ambassador Wilson
for the able manner in which
he has handled the very diffi
cult situation throughout. The
double tragedy has added to
the worry of the officials at.
Washington an dhas made it
much harder for the United
States to keep out of the affair.
The American Government is
mobolizing ten thousand troops
aton gthe Mexican border. The
Fifth Brigade of Infantry and
the Ninteenth Regiment to-,
gether with the Fopidh Battery
and Company p. Signal Corps
are alread yon the way to Gal
veston by special train. The
transport Praririe has arrived
it Guantanamo with two :.hous
and Mar:..es aboard. The
Knglisi j.apeis are ot the
opinion that America should
intervene in Mexico as the
reign of revolution and anarchy
will not be tolerated by the
civilized world very much
longer. They are also urging
the British Government to work
in conjunction with the United
Slates in the matter. The of
ficials at Washington have re
fused to say anything in regard
to the Mexican situation and
that troops are being massed
on the frontier with thj utmost
dispatch. The Mexicans in
Arizona are very indignniTt over
the murder of Madero and are
parading the streets and show
ing their deep feeling iu every
way possible. Governor Gon
zales of Chihuahua State has
been thrown in prison and his
friends fear that be will be ex
ecuted. The Federals are fight

country.
The Alaska Treadwell mine ho
came famous for its low costs
while working an open pit.
For some years all mining on
Douglas island has been done
underground, and most of the
ore iiow stamped comes from
about 1000 feet in depth.
Nevertheless, so well informed
a periodical as the South Afri
can Mining Journal, places the
Alaska Treadwell at the head
of the list of great mines with
low working costs, says it
“scarcely can be fairly con
trasted with other mines \vber*>
quarrying or open-cast work
ing is not practicable.” In
fact the low costs are due to
ihe large size of the orebody* I
its simple character, and ex- j
ce'ient management the mine I
has always enjoyed. .
