THE CITICEN. TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1913.
POYNTELLE.
Poyntclle, Jan. 18.
Since the disappearance of Terry
Caffery, nearly a 'month ago, this
place has .been under a strain of ex
citement that rarely comes to a coun
try village. Many theories have been
discussed as to his disappearance.
Finally n clairvoyant from Middle
town, N. Y appeared on the scene,
claiming she could fathom the mys
tery. Of course every one took to
her and through that she was "it,"
but all to no avail. She claimed that
foul play had been done, and that
his body had Ibeen secreted, but she
failed to find it. She also claimed
to be a fortune teller, and the way
people came from all points of the
compas to consult her was surpris
ing. There were patients from
Pleasant Mount and surrounding
villages. The sum total was that she
got a good sum of the hard earned
dollars of a large number of easy
marks and then took the train for
home. It is said that she got in the
neighborhood of about ?85. During
the search for Mr. Caffrey she had
located him in an abandoned well,
and about thirty men and boys bail
ed It out only to find a lot of rub
bish. Hotel Manager John Yeager, who
registered at the Poyntelle House

Damascus, Jan.

Many are commenting on the al
most soml-tro'pical temperature of
the present month and in fact the
winter thus far. Perhaps many who
read this can turn their memory
back to the 'fall of 1877 and the
spring of 1878 35 years ago. You
remember that it 'was very much like
this winter. We have reason to re
member It very distinctly. We also
remember two farmers plowing, one
In January and the other in Febru
ary. They have both ceased to toll,
and were Warren D. Yerkes and
Charles D. Wood. The most snow
that winter came about the last of
February but did not amount to
much, nor did it freeze much during
the entire winter. There is time
enough for winter yet, but it would
advantage those who have "heavy
drawing, were there a good run of
sleighing. Wo may have the prover
bial "six weeks of winter In March"
even yet.

INTERVENTION NOT
ESIRED BY ARMY
Military Experts See Only
Hardships In Move.
GUERRILLA WARFARE SEEN.
Cuba and Mexico Are Known to Be
Bad Countries to Campaign In From
Recent Experiences and War of Spain
With Insurgents Only Special In
terests Wish For Intrusion.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington. Jan. 20. Special.
The prospect that the United States
may lmve nrmeaf forces in Cubn and
Mexico within the next six months or
a year is not pleasing. There Is noth
ing in elf her country that we want
that is, nothing we want as n people,
although there is considerable in the
way of mines and concessions that ex
ploiters of this country want. It is
also a fact that, outside of a few men
in the army, there is none that want
to see the troops sent to Mexico or
Cuba. Good soldiers realize that there
will be little good soldiering in either
country.
Nearly nil of them are familiar with
the Mexican war history and know
there is even less possibility of any
thing but guerrilla fighting in Mexico if
our troops are scut iutoss the border.
Many of the officers of the army have
been In Cuba, and tluy know that in
tervention in that country Is likely to
lead to fighting similar to that carried
on by Spain against the insurgeuts for
so many years. Whatever the officers
tuny bo doing to increase the efficiency
of the army and to add to its effective
ness as u fighting force they are not
encouraging military expeditions into
either Mexico or Cuba.
Trying to Avoid Intervention.
It is a credit to our people that offi
cials and the public are trying to avoid
Intervention in either Mexico or Cuba.
If the coming administration in Cuba
can become Installed and get a grasp
on nflnlrs before revolutionary demon
strations are made it Is possible to
avoid intervention in the island. As
for Mexico, it is known that the best
informed officials fear that interven
tion cannot be avoided if American and
foreign Interests are to be protected.
Mado a Good Effort.
Congressman Glllett of Massachu
setts told congress what he thought
ought to bo done with the request of
Great Britain to have the canal tolls
nrbltrated. He made a good effort, but
whnt ho asked will not be granted. In
the first place, the senate docs not take
advice from the house on such sub
jects; in the second place, a largo ma
jority of the senators have pronounced
against that kind of arbitration.
Unexpected Re-enforcement.
Roddenbery and Trlbblo of Georgia,
who have made a record In opposing
pension legislation, had an unexpected
rc-eniorcement when Moon of Tennes
see joined them nnd helped along n fili
buster for quite a share of a pension
day. Moon was not so much opposed
to the granting of pensions as he was
sore because the house decided to con
sider pension legislation rather than
the postoffice appropriation bill, which
was under his charge. Moon consider
ed that under the liberal pension laws
the private bills might well wait until
the important appropriation bills were
passed. Moon has been one southern
man who has always stood for liberal
pensions. His people appreciate his
position. Running last year against a
Republican nnd a Democratic Insur
gent in a district where there are many
cx-soldlers, ho was re-elected by a gdod
plurality.
Supplants Big Stick.
"Wilson's whip supplants the big
stick In presidential weapons," re
marked a man on his way to the capl
tol the day the remark of tho president
elect was published. "Tread softly and
carry a big stick," once remarked the
versatile Roosevelt, and tho big stick
nt once became famous. Wilson's whip
In timo to come, when ho is bringing
recalcitrants into lino or making mo
nopolies come to time, is likely to be
come quite as famous.
Canteen Gone Forever.
Army officers are no doubt doing
their duty as they see It when they ad
vocate the restoration of tho canteen
where liquors can bo sold to the sol
diers on government reservations.
They prove by statistics, by surgeons
nnd by many other means that tho can
teen is best for tho soldiers, but they
mistake public sentiment If they think
that sentiment is to be changed in fa
vor of tho canteen. Tho canteen has
gono for all time.
The Awful Suggestion.
Tho wl. ile senato was one day stir
red up because Senntor Smoot hod not
been paying heed, nnd something SUP'
ped through without having his O. K
was reconsidered nnd a very Important
thnngo made.
"I sometimes fear tho awful possl'
ziillty of what might happen 1f Smoot
should got sick," remarked Senator
Borah of Idaho In a sarcastic manner.
If tho Democrats assumo full control
of the next senato there Is only a short
time ahead for Smoot's control of the
upper branch. Of congress. He has tak
en tho iflaco of Aldrich and Hale, al
though wheii those men were about to
letiro tho late Senntor Dolllver remark
ed that leadership In the senato was
about to "go Into commission."

Driving Occupants Out. '
Philadelphia, Jan. 20. A break in tho
walls of a fifty foot excavation in tho
rear of the site of the new Adelphta
hotel lit Thirteenth and Chestnut
stroutH. placed in peril of collapse the
walls of adjoln'g buildings.
By tin- full of e.irth u hole forty-three
feet deep find forty feet long was
i peued. Forty workmen, warned by a
policeman u half hour before, scram
bled to another part of tho excavation
when the crnckllug of timbers gave
them warning of the collapse.
While workmen were supporting the
weakened sides of the excavntion by
timbers, another cave-In occurred. One
workman was carried down in thetsee
ond fall, but escaped uninjured.
Tho cave-iu extends the entire width
of Clover street In the runr of tho
building site and beneath the sidewalk
of St. John's Roman Catholic Church
on this street. Broken mains poured
gas Into the church and drove out n
score of persons worshipping there.

walls, he ordered tho edifice closed.
Arrangements were mado to hold the

filled adjoining buildings nnd drove out
occupants of offices. Reserve police

about tlie section of Thirteenth street
nt Clover street and kept away pedes
trians. Police orders ngalnst smoking wero
strictly enforced, owing to danger from
the escaping gas. Linemen had

The rains of Friday night nnd Sat

in, according to J. II. Kessler, a deputy
chief building inspector. Tho rains
loosened the earth in tho walls of tho
excavation and caused the collapse.
When the walls gave wny a water
main burst nnd water from this carried
more earth with it.
