AUSTIN, Texas, Auugst 4.-There
passed through Austin on a north
bound express train for indianapolis. a
gold hunter named Arnold, who said
that he was but recently from the scene
of the Indian uprising in Mexico. He
reports that just before leaving that
section 1t was reported that the Yaqui
Indians had entrapped a force OF sever
nj hundred of the Mexican soldiers IN a
defile in the mountains and tnnugurated
an old-tlme warfare in throwing rocks
down upon them, with the result that
many OF them were killed.
He says that the war is being con-
Quoted on a guerilla plan and that the
Indians have sufficient force TO main
tain the war for months to come, as
they are perfectly at home In the
mountain fastness and the Mexican
soldiers are no match for them.
The reports coming TO the mining
camps to date are that the Mexicans
have lost a number of soldiers, while
the Indians have lost comparatively
few OF their number.

the wind SO generated will be
drawn into the barrel at both ends,
and thus path through space
will be made-the empty barrel
will revolve upon this axis, so

Judge from. But the round globe

usual phenomenon of comet: it
will have one wind-one direction
Of wind, leaving a tail behind of

The Commercial Travellers Ma
tional League held their annual
convention at Albany last Friday.
and they are patriotic set of men
although their views on business
points are singular. They say that
trusts and large consultations of
business enterprise is un-Ameri--
can; when in fact, the trust and
corporation aggregation Of capital
is absolutely American in all it's
points, as it is witnessed in this
country. They deplore the forma-
ton Of trusts and. combines Just
the same as the horse deplores the
introduction of the horseless car
riage. The Commercial Travellers
see that their days Of usefulness is
nearly ended. Therefore this reso-
luton will fall short Of it's intended
mission. We print their resolu--
ton in full as follows:
Resolved, That we condemn as un-American
the combination of syndcating of Incorporated
or private business concerns for the purpose of
controlling products and in restraint of trade,
and competition.

The postal service Of the United
States is one of the great triumphs
of modern advancement. It's bust
ness methods are complete and are
conducted so carefully and with
such swiftness that the postal SER
vice may be said to be perfect, and
it is, so far as it goes. But when
we look around and see how many
bank failures there are at different
places all the time-for instance,
during the period Of December
1896 and January and February
1891, no less than seven Of the St.
Paul banks busted and closed
their doors, leaving $4,000 depos-
itors outside; then we ask ourselves,
why the Government does not
institute Post Office Savings
Bank for the benefit of all
people.
In England, we find the post
Office savings bank system to be
very successful, and they have no
less than 100000 depositors and 4:
$6OO,OOO,OOO in coin on deposit.
If our Government would open up
a similar institution in this coun-
try, and allow the deposits to
begin with one cent and not to
exceed $1,000 from each depositor
at any one post office, then the
present Executive at Washington
would do something that would
carry down through the cycles
of time the name of our honored
President, and the benefits to the
public would be incalculable.
