RUSH MARINES TO MANAGUA Fighting Force of 2,000 United States Men Will Be in Republic by Tues­ day Next--Tenth Regiment Pre­ pared for Service. Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 30.--From his private car in the Rochester yards on Wednesday, President Taft telegraph­ ed to the acting secretary of war at Washington, rescinding his order of twelve hours previous for the imme­ diate dispatch of the Tenth infantry from Panama to Nicaragua. The president took this action fol­ lowing advices from the state, war and navy departments concerning the present situation in Nicaragua He said there would be 2,000 United States troops on Nicaraguan soil by next Tuesday and he expresed the opinion that this number would be sufficient to Insure the safety of Amer­ ican lives and property without the aid of the Tenth infantry.

The Nicaraguan government itself asked for assistance from the United States and stands ready to aid in opening the railway line to the coast from the capital The president has been greatly dis­ turbed over the situation in Man­ agua, Corinto and other towns. Amer­ icans are not In any special peril, but In other parts of the country the revolution is not in hand and pillag­ ing has been going on. The people of Nicaragua, the presi­ dent was informed, are suffering un­ told horrors and Americans are suf­ fering in many instances with them. To friends Mr. Taft declared that if the senate had agreed to the proposed treaty with Nicaragua which he advo­ cated on his long trip last fall the misery existing today would never have arisen. BOY FALLS TO DEATH DROPS 2,000 FEET FROM BAL- LOON AT FLINT, MICH. Lad Caught by Foot When Craft Is Released Dangles From Rope as Thousands Scream. Flint, Mich., Aug. 31 --His foot caught in the guy rope of a balloon, Chester Betts, aged fourteen years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Betts, living in this city, was carried 2,000 feet in the air and then dropped through the roof of a barn. He died while being rushed to a hospital. The tragedy oc­ curred at the fair grounds and 6,000 horrified 'spectators saw the boy plunge to death. Among the shuddering thousands who watched the tragic accident were the lad's father and mother, rrom whom he had wandered in boy­ ish desire to be near the center of the attraction offered by the balloon­ ist. They did not know the swinging fc rm was that of their son until, with others of the crowd, they rushed to the spot where the crumpled little aody lay. Then the mother fainted and the father, with tears streaming down his heeks, turned from his dead to care for hiB living. The youth was standing near the oag when the word to cast off was given. One of the ropes caught his foot and, evidently too frightened to bcream, he was drawn rapidly toward the sky. The balloonist, Abner Amsbill, of Lansing, made frantic efforts to pull the lad to the trapeze upon which he nat.

GUADA.LAJARA, MEXICO, 18 ABOVE SLUMBERING CRATER. Government Issues Warning to City of 150,000 Innabitants Telling People to Flee. Guadalajara, Mexico, Aug. 31.--This city, the Becond largest in the repub­ lic, having a population of 150,000 people, has received warning that it will be destroyed by the eruption of a volcano over which the city rests. The warning is given in all serious- Tiess by the government through the seismograph branch of the national observatory at Mexico City. Seven scientists, who spent the lat­ ter part of July and the first week in August here, have issued a report following the 340 earthquakes which have shaken Guadalajara in the past three months that the town Is built on the crater of a slumbering vol­ cano. Increasing temperatures, sulphurous fumes escaping from fissures torn In the city streets by the quakes and the bursting out of several hot springs led to the investigation which showed that 300 feet beneath the surface of the earth there is a seething crater, whose last eruption was about 1,000 years ago". The men from the observatory can­ not state when the eruption will take place, but they believe it will be with­ in a year. Their report urges that the city be vacated, and they suggest a move to Juanacatlan, a town about forty miles from here on the banks of the Santiago river. The center of the crater beneath this city is located approximately un­ der the state palace, which is in the heart of Guadalajara. Government papers have been re­ moved trom the palace to Mexico City for safety, and a mass meeting will be held here the first Sunday In Sep­ tember to decide whether the city shall heed the warning and move or wait and see what happens. mL f s c ikut A N D N E A R Newcastle, Del., Aug. 29.--T h e su­ burb of Dobbinsville, near here, was terror-stricken Tuesday following the "shooting up" of the town by mem­ bers of the Eighty-first coast artil­ lery.

The National Dairy Show, having arranged for a permanent home to which to forward the Dairy Industry in all of its branches, and recognizing the cow as the foundation of ail things Dairy, is undertaking to tuild an an­ nual Exposition that will not alone prove to be a school for the farmer, but an advocate of the highest type for the more general and varied use of the products of the Dairy. To do this successfully we must first have the attention and Interest of the far­ mer and dairyman; next the support of the many Interests allied with and collateral branches of the Industry. With this thought in mind, the man­ agement of the National Dairy Show desires to report progress made for the 1912 show to be held in Chicago, October 24 to November 2. We have assurances from the best breeders of the different breeds of cattle that they will be with us, and for purposes of competition we have arranged a very complete classification, and by obtain­ ing the very strongest talent for Judges, who will be selected with the sole purpose In view of making a rib­ bon at this great National Show an ar­ ticle of supreme value, settling the question of show yard supremacy each year after the herds have done battle in the fairs and shows in their respec­ tive territories. We will make this show yard the mart for highest type of selection and the place from where all matters of breeding and feeding will be demonstrated as a guide to the old-timer and new beginner. Here is what we will have fdr you: Judges of National and International repute to pass upon the battle; a Govern­ ment exhibit in charge of experts that will display breeds with record of test performance, the kind to own and the kind not to own; the test of feeds for results; the proper and Improper methods of handling the products and marketing of same; civic sanitary and hygienic requirements will be illus­ trated and explained by experts of National prominence. We have pre­ pared a splendid premium -list for Dairy Products which will bring out a strong lot of contestants with milk and cream exhibits for honors; butter and cheese makers will enter their products for supremacy and every­ thing that can be developed for the benefit of the visitors In direct con­ nection with the cow will be shown. The Borden Milk people, at an enor­ mous expense, will give dally demon­ strations of the pasteurizing, cooling, bottling and distributing of milk. They will erect in the show a plant equal In size to that used in a city branch. This must be helpful in allaying all agitation of the pure milk question for the city consumption. The Blue Val­ ley Creamery will erect a plant in the show capable of making a ton of but­ ter each day, showing the pasteurizing process and the cleanly, sanitary methods of a creamery. The Consum­ ers Company will manufacture lc^ cream in a glass machine in full view of the visitors, showing the thorough­ ly healthful and sanitary manufacture of this now extensively used condiment. Demonstrators from domestic science schools and colleges will give exhibi­ tions and distribute recipes covering the more general use of milk as a food. The Universal Cement Com­ pany will erect an educational silo ex­ hibit of large proportions, BO that methods of preparation and care of ensilage, as well as the construction of silos, may be thoroughly discussed and understood. There will be ex­ hibits from the many machinery houses, who will actively display and explain every new and modern device to their better understanding, and, in fact, the ten-day period of the show will have crowded Into it more of real value for the dairy industry than any other show ever before held for such a purpose. The man engaged in pro­ ducing dairy products and the con­ sumer will get Immeasurable benefit by an attendance upon this entire de­ tail working of all that pertains to dairying under one roof. Unusual Occurrence. Richard Harding Davis, during his Atlantic Sity honeymon, said at a fish luncheon: "I confess that I am not pleased with the modern trend of fiction. The newest fiction leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It 1b full of doable en­ tendre--like the parlor maid s remark. "A gentleman oame down to break­ fast one morning with bloodshot eyes. He drank eight glasses of ice water hurriedly, then he muttered hoarsely to the pretty parlor maid: " 'Tell me, Adele. did I reach home last night very much under the weath­ er?" " 'Indeed you did, sir, ' the maid re­ plied. 'Why, sir, you kissed the mio­ sis!'"--Washington Star. To Reproduce Riot Scenes.
