STRIVING TO SAVE MEXICO. Administration Exerting Efforts to firing Peace. Keep Watch on Villa. Washington Officials of Carranza’s Military Chief. Washington, July 28.—The admin istration exerted itself further today toward drawing together the discord ant Mexican elements. Official messages from Vera / Cruz spoke of the satisfactory progress of conferences there between represen tatives of Gen. Carranfa and Gen. Zapata and an agent of the latter will go north to work out with Carranza the details of the friendly under standing. Pending the arrival of Gen. Villa and Justice Allende, delegates from the Carbajal government to confer at Saltillo with Carranza, no definite de velopments relative to the transfer of the governmental authority at Mexico City are expected. A vigilant watch is being maintain ed by the Washington government over the movements and activities of Gen. Villa. Late dispatches are some what disquieting. The United States is not relaxing its efforts through its consular agents, however, to bring Carranza and Villa into complete ac -cord. Secretary Bryan appealed today to Gen. Carranza, asking him to call a halt upon Villa, who is reported to be making wholesale demands for horses upon ranch owners in the State of Chihuahua. Consular advices to the State department also declared the northern general was smuggling arms across the border as rapidly as they were available. There was no doubt in the minds of the people of Chihuahua as to the meaning of Villa’s activity, the dispatch to the department added. Recent reports from the border have intimated that Villa intended to concentrate his forres in Chihuahua with the aim of <Wmanding certain concessions from Carranza after the Constitutionalists occupy Mexico City. However, in response to an appeal From the Washington government urging him to forget personal differ ences with Carranza, Villa declared he intended to coopperate with other revolutionary leaders and would do all in his power to inaugurate an era of peace in Mexico. While the administration officials then expressed confidence that Villa would not permit any dissension with ‘Carranza to develop into a counter ■revolution, yet today’s reports re newed speculation over the ultimate position the military chief will take. Official advices from Vera Cruz, where agents of Zapata and Carranza are conferring, reported there was every indication a complete agree ment would be reached whereby the Zapatista forces would cooperate with the constitutionalists in establishing a new government in Merico. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Tomlinson Entertain: Clayton, R. F. I). No, 1, July 29.— Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Tomlinson enter tained a number of young people at a porch party in honor of their daugh ter, Miss Hilda Tomlinson, who has been for the past two years attending school in Boston, Massachusetts. The porch was beautifully lighted with Japanese lanterns and decorated with ferns. Soon the merry crowd were invited out to partake of Mr. Tomlinson’s de licious watermelons under the spread ing trees, presided over by Mrs. G. B. Smith and Miss Emma Tomlinson. After chatting and playing games peach cream and cake was served by little Miss Elizabeth and Master John Tomlinson. As the guests departed they ex pressed their gratitude for having spent such a pleasant evening. Miss Tomlinson will return to Bos ton the first of September to resume her studies. News by Telephone. For a monthly payment of five shillings two Berlin publishers have offered to supply telephone subscrib ers in the German capital with a combined telephonic news and rnusi v cal service. It is understood that sub scribers will be rung up at regular "intervals throughout the day, and a voice will tell them the news of the horn from all parts of the world, Stock Exchange prices, / sporting re < isults ‘and everything of interest at the moment. The telephonic newspaper is by no 4men«r. a new idea, for a good many years ago the “Telefon-Hismondo,” or “Telephone News,” was published in Budapest. The staff consisted of ■one managing editor, four subeditors, ten reporters and a number of “tell ers,” or telephone speakers. The sub ‘‘ scribers, of whom there were several thousand, took up at a certain hour of the day telephone receivers sup plied to them by the paper, and lis tened to the news which was spoken to them by a “teller” in the editorial .•office.—Answers. To the Voters or Johnston County: To The Editor: We desire space in your valuable paper to say a few words as endorse ment of John W. Wood, of Meadow township, for re-election as County Commissioner. Mr. Wood is too well known in Johnston County as a true Democrat, to need introduction. He is too well known as an honest, econom ical and efficient officer to need recom mendation, yet, there are several others who have announced them selves as candidates for this office, all of whom no doubt are capable and well qualified to fill this office, but we wish to say to the voters of Johnston County that John W. Wood is a farmer and makes his living by the sweat of his face. He knows what a dollar is worth. He has well financed his own attains, as he has also done that of the County since he has been serving as County Commissioner. He has the manhood to say “NO” when an unjust claim or demand is pre sented. His official acts have been fearlessly executed as he saw them to be right. Democrat^, of Johnston County, knowing John W. Wood as we do, we urge upon you to vote for him at your Primary, on August 1st, for one of the five Commissioners of Johnston County. W. H. ROYAL, Merchant. N. T. RYALS, Atty. P. B. JOHNSON. .1. H.

We need for sheriff a man with the strength and will power to meet and overcome hidden dangers and unfore seen emergencies. We all know that Hunter was at one time a drinking man. Hut now with the help of God, he has regained his foot hold upon upright, honorable manhood and has given us a display of spirit and will power as seldom seen in a human be ing. Now, not as a reward for doing his duty toward society, but because we see in him the typical elements nec essary for the chief executive officer of the county, let us get together and make him the next sheriff of Johnston.

A potato 40 years old, in a perfect state of preservation, was found re cently under the hearthstone of the ex-Mayor of Brazilles, the village celebrated for the battle which was fought there during the Franco-Prus sian War. It was found by workmen carrying out repairs, embedded in a block of plaster. The house was re built in 1873, after the village was burned by the Prussian troops, and it is supposed that the potato was then put into its strange hiding place.— Paris Correspondence in Philadelphia Ledger.

THE OLDEST MARRIED COUPLE Pair in Iowa Celebrate Their Seventy Eighth Wedding Anniversary. Seated beneath the shade of an elm tree at their home, Mr. and Mrs. John Tar\Jcen, who claim the distinc tion of being the oldest married cou ple in the Northwest, Friday observed their seventy-eighth wedding anniver sary. The occasion was only observed and not celebrated. For 78 years they have observed their wedding an niversary in this quiet manner, and they intend to follow out this plan as long as they live. He smoked his old German pipe, which has been in his possession for the past 20 years, while his little wife, wrinkled and slightly stooped, w%g busily mending hosiery. Not only are Mr. and Mrs. Tan ken an exceptionally old couple, but they are a very interesting couple as well. Mr. Tanken is past 107 and Mrs. Tanken will reach her ninety-eighth milestone next November. She is verj healthy and has not been ill for a number of years. She is as active around the house as the average American woman is at the age of 50. He has not been as fortunate as his wife in the matter of health. He has been ill several times, but still he maintains that he is healthy as the present-day middle-aged man. He has always been fond of his old pipe and smokes a pound of tobac co weekly. Both are advocates of fresh air and they can be found in the yard under the elm tre the greater portion of the day. When questioned concerning the reasons for his old age, Mr. Tanken said: “The only reason I know of why my wife and I are still living is that we are not good enough for the Lord and too good for the devil.” Ac cording to Mrs. Shoop, his adopted daughter, this is the only remark he makes about his old age. Mr. Tanken was born January 1, 1807, in Hengalow, Holland, while his wife caught her first glance of the earth at Selen, Holland, on No vember 22, 1817. They were married at the home of Mrs. Tanken in Salen on June 18, 1836. Early in the year of 1837 they de cided to come to America to earn their fortune, and landed in New York on the steamer Enswenberg late in the fall of the year. They im mediately went to La Crosse, Wis., where they remained until 1850. It was in La Crosse that Mr. Tan ken established the first maple syrup mill in Wisconsin. In 1850 Mr. Tanken disposed of his syrup mill and located in Milwaukee. There were only a few houses and people in Milwaukee at that time and they were located in the center of a large forest. He has never returned to Milwaukee since he lived there, and he is of the opinion that it is of the same size to-day as it was at that time. He engaged in the log ging business while at. Milwaukee. They left Milwaukee in 1853 and came to Grand Island, Neb., where they remained until they came here, with the exception of five years when Mr. Tanken returned to Holland t6 study medicine. They have made four trips to their old home in Hol land since coming to the United States. They are very reticent about their age. Mrs. Tanken is like the average woman, and she does not like to have her age discussed. They have never had any children of their own, but adopted a son and a daughter. The son died in 1897, but the daughter is still alive. During their long life they have never had a picture taken and they shun the camera as if it were a weap on. On several occasions when the children attempted to get a snapshop of them they would become aw'are of the fact and retire to their room for the rest of the day. The ancestors of both Mr. and Mrs. Tanken lived a long life. His moth er lived to be over 101 years old, while Mrs. Tanken has a brother and sister who are older than she still living and both are enjoying good health. Mr. and Mrs. Tanken are the most remarkable couple living in Sioux City. It is known that they are the oldest living married couple in the Northwest, and in all probability there are not any older couples in the Unit ed States.—Sioux City (Iowa) Cor. to Burlington Gazette.
