by Francisco I. Madero, Jr., appealing
to President Diaz to make public the j
assurances given privately that he in- j

After offeriug his own resignation as

Senor iMadero suggested that both
President Diaz and Vice President Cor-
ral resign and that Minister of For-
eign Relations, Senor De la Barra be-
come president for the interim until a
general election shall have been held.
The statement, couched in most
courteous Spanish phrases, informs
President Diaz that there is no other
way out of the present difficulty and
that a word from him will bring peace
in a few days.
Baltimore, Md.—"Peace on earth" is
the slogan of the foremost men of

parts of the country for the opening

Succeeded Chief Spotted Tail as Head
of Rosebud Band of Sioux In-
dians—Rules People With
an Iron Hand.
Sioux Falls, S. D.-Two Strike, the
head chief of the Rosebud Sioux In-
dians, was so named on account of
killing two Pawnee braves at once
some time in his early youth. He
lives in Rosebud, S. D. He is 90 years
of age, and until the last four or five
years has enjoyed the very best of
health, but now old ago has begun to
show, and the old time warrior and
chief is getting very weak and feeble,
but he still insists on getting out in
his buggy an<J driving his little team
of ponies. He is greatly feared by all
of his people and still rules his tribe
with an iron hand, as he still believes
it is right to kill any of his people
that dare to disobey his commands
and it is thought that if he dares he
would exercise his right when any of
bis peogle displeased him.
He has always been what is known
as a bad Indian, and never was friend
ly with the whites, and he hates them
all now as much as he ever did. When
ever he is interviewed he is surly
and seems to hold himself aloof from
the hated whites and acts as if he
lg lowering himself to even talk with
them.
He has been head chief of the Rose
bud Sioux since 1880, at which time he
succeeded Chief Spotted Tail, who had
been killed by Crow Dog in a fight,
which was caused by an old family
feud of long standing.
Old Two Strike has been in all of
the Indian wars that have been in his
time, and was one of the head lead

The Oklahoma City postollice hand-
les more than 200,000 pieces of incom-
ing mail every day. As a result of the
recent order of the postottice depart-
ment that every piece of mail should
be counted during the month of May,
the postmaster is able to tell the
exact amount of mail handled and also
the exact time it takes to handle It.
Postmaster Brown said 80,000 letters
were received at the Oklahoma City
office May 1. Seven additional clerkf
are engaged in counting the mail.
Senor Madero, in his statement, calls
upon President Diaz particularly to
make known to the people of Mexico

from power just as soon as peace is
established in the country, which Gen-
eral Madero declares was made to go-
betweens interested in restoring peace.

FOUR-STATE FAIR IS PLAN
Kansas City. Mo.. Business Men Pro-
pose Annual Show
Kansas City, Mo.—Business men of
this city are considering a plan to buy
the Elm Ridge race track property
for $330,000 and give a "four-state" an-
nual fair along the lines of the fair
at Hamline. between St. Paul and Min-
neapolis, which is backed by Minne-
sota and attracts Immense crowds
from the northwestern states. The
venture here, it is thought, will draw
exhibits and sight-seers from Missouri,
Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas.

Wholesale Decapitation In Progress to
Kill Rebellion
Hongkong.—All advices from can-
ton iudicate a desperate condition in
that city. There are 30,000 soldiers
within the walls and there is great
fear tfcit many of these will prove dis-
loyal IT it appears that the rebels are
about to gain the upper hand.
The rebels are strong in numbers
nd have carried on their work of de-
struction with fanatical bravery.
There has been a gathering at Can-
ton lately of those opposed to the
Manchu dynasty. A few days ago sev-
eral hundred arrived from Hongkong.
The plot to overturn the government
was betrayed and the leaders of the
movement urged the viceroy's body-
guard to join forces and kill the Man-
chus. This the bodyguard refused to
do, with the result that when the at-
tack was made upon the residence of
the viceroy a few days ago the revolu-
tionists were routed.
Certain bodies of troops may be de-
pended upon not to abandon the rul-
ers, and all attempts by rebels to in-
duce them to join the revolt have
proved futile.
third national peace congress can
hardly be exaggerated. Its forerun-
ners, held In New York in 1907 and
Chicago in 1909, put in tangible shape
the movement that had long been
considered but a dream of the ideal-
ists. This one will take up the bur-
den where the others left off and it
is expected that action will be taken
that will put the future of the move-
ment in a definite line of progress that
will lead to the achievement of con-
crete results.
The congress will deal with the two
leading phases ol' peace work—me
awakening of the public conscience by
addresses directed against the folly
and the injustice that result from war,
together with the economic waste of
universal armamentB; and the prac-
tical means of making war difficult
by establishing institutions which wn
take away the excuse for war.
The congress will be opened in Mc-
Coy hall of Johns Hopkins university
by President Taft, following the in-
vocation by Cardinal Gibbons. Mayor
Mahool of Baltimore, will deliver an
address of welcome to the visiting
peace advocates. Hamilton Holt,
president of the congress, will then
speak on a League of Peace." An-
drew Carnegie, Dr. Benjamin True-
blood of the American Peace society,
Boston, Professor Leo S. Rowe of the
University of Pennsylvania, and Hon.
William C. Dennis of Washington, D.
C„ will also speak at the opening ses-
sion. Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott and Dr.

with his Wild West show for a period of
two years, after which the government
allowed him to be turned loose to live
the rest of his days among his own
people, but instead of feeling grateful
to the government for turning him

keep the Indians hostile to the whites,

GETTING DOWN,TO BUSINESS
British Housewife Showed How to>
Draw the Line Between Senti-
ment and Supper.
Apropos of King George's corona-
tion John Quinn of the Irish Indepen-
dence League said the other day in
New York:
"There will be a lot of empire talk
and imperialism talk to spoil the coro-
nation. The English imperialist, you
know, prefers to talk about the em-
pire's fringe, of which he is ignorant.,
rather than about its heart, which he
knows to be diseased.
"The empire bubble was once prick-
ed nicely by an English housewife.
"Her husband came home late on a
Sunday afternoon smelling of beer and
tobacco and very red in the face.
" 'Oh,' he said, 'I've had a fine time
I've been to an empire meeting. It
was grand.'
"Then he frowned and said impa
tiently:
" 'What's the matter with supperT
Ain't it ready yet?'
"His wife, who was peeling pota-
toes and holding a squawking baby,
rose and extended the baby to him.
■' 'Here,' she said, 'take hold of your
bit of the empire while I fry thes#
chips.'"
Now What Did She Mean?
At a recent wedding a baby had
shrieked without intermission to the
great annoyance of the guests, etc..
As the bridal party was leaving the
church a slight delay occurred. On-?
of the guests seized the opportunity
to say to the first bridesmaid:
"What a nuisance babies are at a
wedding!"
"Yes, indeed!" answered the brides
maid, angrily. "When I send out in-
vitations to my wedding I shall have
printed in the corner, 'NTo babies ex-
pected.' "—Judge.
