YAQUT INDIAN WAR.
Large Forces of Redskins Modified
Near Sahuripa.

| AUSTIN CTex.), Oct. 13.-Information
reaching here tonight from Ortiz,
State of Sonora, Mexico, contains the
| following information with reference to
the Yaqui Indian war:
Military scouting parties reaching the
military mobilization point at Torin,
this State, to-day report that large
forces of Yaqui Indians are being
mobilized at the base of the mountains
to the north of that place near Sahu
ripa. 1t is estimated that there are
| fully $500 Indians there at present, and
| additional arrivals are coming in all
| the time.
At the present time the Mexican
| forces numbering some 5000 troops in
all, are modified in or near Torin, and
| it is understood the object of their con-
centration at that point is to move into
the Yaqui country at an early date,
probably about the middle of next
week, and open up a vigorous warfare
on the Indians, with view of driving
them out and ending the war at once.
This mobilization of Mexican troops
has been conducted as quietly as pos
sible, with a view of sweeping down on
the Indians while they are still scat
tered through the Yaqui country iE
small bands, taking them by surprise
and sweeping them off the face of the
earth, orders having been given to take
no prisoners.
The scouting parties, however, state
that the Indians have evidently been in
formed of the mobilization of troops,
as they are mobilizirg their forces also,
and are preparing to offer a formidable
resistance to the advancement of the
troops.
At present, with $500 men at their
disposal at Sahuripa, which is consid-
cred the key to the Yaqui country, the
Indians may be able to hold their own
against the troops, with even halfway
Notifications.
This reported mobilization of the In
dams was received with some sur
prise by the Mexican forces, and may
possibly force them to change their
plan of action, but from reliable sources
it is learned that every effort will be
made to push the fight next week, in
the hope of bringing it to a speedy
termination

The Good Bacteria.

The good bacteria are for the most
part simply cells and look like bubbles
under a microscope. The interesting
part of it all is that a healthy man is
full of healthy germs, and when any
of the disease producing germs get in
side him the healthy germs eat them
up, and that is the end of the disease
producers. When the doctors say that
a man is threatened with typhoid fever
they mean that the typhoid germs in
the man are having a great fight with
the healthy germs, and that it is doubt
full which will eat the others. If the ty-
phoid germs eat up the healthy germs
the man will have typhoid fever. 1t
they don't, he won't. 1t is the same
idea that underlies the modern meth
DDS of disposing of sewage. If the
germs get a chance they eat up the
contents of the sewers and turn them
which are harmless mineral salts, the
food that plants feed on. When the
average farmer puts fertilizer on his
land he thinks that the plants, his corn
or cabbages or whatever he is raising.
eat the fertilizer and that it makes
them grow. He is wrong, Tor the plants
eat only the nitrates or nitrites that
the bacteria in the ground make out of
the fertilizer. The plants do not eat
the fertilizer any more than a baby
eats hay though the baby eats the milk
a COW makes out of the hay, with the
assistance of the farmers pump

why did 1 quit the fast mail? Well,
[ am not so young as / was twenty
years ago. 1 have been afflicted for
several years with rheumatism, and
then, again, the gait of No. has been
set up so many notches since it was
first put on that it's time now averages
fifty miles an hour. With the creeping
on of age, the excitement of moving
along at fifty miles an hour, formerly
buoyant stimulant to me, wore away,
and | began to long for run where
the risk and responsibility were not SO
great. / submitted to the management
my desire to take a slower run, and
was allowed the privilege of picking
out the run I would like most to have,
SO 1 took Nos. 9 and 10, running in and
out of Des Moines.'
The experience of this Burlington en-
gineer, who has been running on the
fast mail for nearly twenty years, con-
tradicts the current report that an en-
gineer cannot stand the fast mail pace
more than five years.

WANTS TO SLOW DOWN.
Old John Sutherland and the Fast
Mail

John Sutherland, who for nearly
twenty years had held the throttle on
the fast mail engines on the Iowa Di-
vision of the Burlington, has aban-
doned the main line and given up the
fast mail. At his own request he has
been transferred to the Abba branch
of the Burlington. While waiting the
other day for the signal to start on his
last run with the fastest mail train III
America, he said: Yes, / have given
up the fast mail. 1 was assigned to an
engine on No. in 1881 and for nearly
twenty years | have pulled it from
Ottumwa to Creston, or on the return
trip, each day. In that time [ have
crossed the old middle division, 11o
miles in length, daily, except Sunday.
The aggregate distance travelled in the
almost two decades of employment on
that line is nearly 100000 miles. The
running time of the mail was originally
thirty-five miles an hour, and in those
days No. rs time was phenomenon.

Has Come and Passed, Yet Not a Heat
Has Been Decided.
The Weather OFF Sandy Hook Con-
tinues Exceedingly Calm, at a
Time When a Stiff Breeze is
Most Anxiously Hoped For-An-
other Attempt to Sail Will be
Made To-Day.

NEW YORK, Oct 13. The winds
asleep in their caverns and coverlet OF
white fog drawn over the bosom OF
the droWsy ocean to-day heightened
the unprecedented record of fiukes in
the cup contest to six.
AS on Tuesday, the yachts did not
leave their anchorage inside Sandy
Hook. 1t was useless to make another
attempt in such weather. So at the
hour set for the start the Regatta
Committee boat poked out to sea
through the dense bank Of vapor and
announced to the group of vessels as
sembled about the lightship the same
monotonous story that there would be
no race to-day.
Everybody is thoroughly disgusted.
The patience of the public is almost
exhausted. From $4,000 people who
went out on the first day, the crowds
have dwindled until it is perfectly sale
to say that less than 5000 people were
afioat to-day. The outlook was SO
gloomy from a money making stalnc-
point that some of the excursion boats
which sold tickets for the series OF
races were trying to-day to redeem
them, with the intention of abandon
ing their excursions altogether.
The repeated postpOnementS nave
also worn the patience of the commit
tee and the owners of the two yachts.
Sir Thomas Upton and Commodore
Morgan each have a company Of in
vited guests aboard their yachts, but
it is very desolate for the hosts as we'll
OF
chor inside the dreary Sandspit with
nothing to look at but blank walls OF
fogs.
The delay has been equally trying to
the crews of the racers. For more
than ten days the tars have been
keyed up TO racing pitch, and they are
beginning to feel the effects of the
strain.
Experts estimate that the big club
topsail which the Shamrock showed
yesterday for the first time contains
about 5000 more square feet of can
vas than the similar sail of the Yankee
boat Add to this the excess of sail
area of her lower sails, as shown by
the official measurements, and the for
eigner is capable of spreading some
thing like 1,200 square feet more can
vas to the wind than the Columbia
In light airs, therefore, the Shamrock
must have a great advantage, but the
patriots are whistling for a spanking
breeze that will prevent the hosting
of these skyscraping sails and bring
the boats down to even terms in the
matter of canvas.
Another attempt will be made to race
tomorrow.
One of the Columbia's wooden yards
was cut in half lengthwise by car
penters on Sandy Hook pier this morn
ing, the intention being to hollow II
out and mark it lighter.

The train dispatcher otfce of the
Northwestern Road in this city admit

The robbery was evidently carefully
planned. Twenty minutes before the
train was due at Maple Park, the rob
bers burst into the station house, and,
presenting revolvers at the head of the
station agent, compelled him to remain
quiet while they bound him; after ty-
ing him fast to a chair they forced a
gag into his mouth and left him utter
ly helpless. The signals were then
changed so that the tram would be
compelled to stop before reaching the
depot. The robbers went down the
track to the point where the train was
stopped and waited for it.

FIRE AT NEW YORK

destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.
The fire this morning apparently start

both warehouses will certainly exceed
$4,000. Warehouse No. / was de-
stroyed by fire a few months ago.

A Specimen Of the Eastern Cyclone
Sweeps the Valley.
Was Spectacular Sight, But Too Alarm
Ing TO Bs Entirely Pleasing.
The Phenomenon Something Ma
jority of the Inhabitants OF the
Southern San joaquin valley
City Had Never Before Expe-
rienced-LittIe Damage Done.

FRESNO. Oct. 13-The people OF
Fresno to-day saw more vagaries OF the
weather than they had ever been treat
ed to before, witnessing regular tor
nado or Eastern cyclone. 1t was a
beautiful spectacular sight, but at cne
time it was too alarming TO be regard
ed entirely as a pleasing spectacle.
Many people who had never seen any
thing like it before did not know what
the peculiar phenomenon was.
Weather Observer Bolton took notes
of the strange, funnel-like revolving OBJ
ject. In speaking of it this evening he
said:
1T approached very nearly TO tor
nado-in fact, it was a tornado, but
had not completed it's formation, and
thus did not become destructive. The
cloud was Irregular, being a funnel
shaped cloud of the tornado type. 1t
followed in the path of the thunder
storm in the southwest quadrant. When
within a few miles of the western linn
its of Fresno the cloud dropped quite
low and occasioned considerable alarm.
AS it approached nearer to this city it
took a rapid flight upwards and finally
dissipated itself among certain masses
of Clouds"
Mr.. Bolton was very anxious to OBJ
tain a photograph of the strange visi-
tant in these skies, but was unable to
get photograph of it in time.
When asked if anything like it had
ever been seen in these parts" before,
Mr.. Bolton said he did not think the
oldest inhabitant ever saw such an
other sight.
1t Will be observed that Mr. Bolton
uses the word tornado in its correct
scientific significance. The phenomenon
seen was an incipient tornado, or what
is popularity, but incorrectly, called a
cyclone in the Eastern States. Such
phenomena are usually accompanied
by such an atmospheric disturbance as
was witnessed to-day. The air was
surcharged with electricity and forked
lightning flashed in all directions, fol-
lowed by heavy rolls of thunder. The
rain came down in drops as big as peas.
and in the midst of the downpour a
heavy hailstOrm occurred
At Mr.. Mays place in West Park
several peach trees were torn up Mr..
Knight living a mile south of town re-
ports that the cyclone struck his place
and uprooted eight trees, and unroof-
ed his neighbor's shed. He could see
raisin trays and othe- portable prop
erty flying through the air.

ined. The Professor, after starting or
with the data, 4S ounces of brain and
22-inch head, remarked that Lasker
was gallant to the ladies, could keep
secrets and remember faces, but was
shaky on names and dates.
Lasker gave no token OF any kind to
these remarks, and the phrenoIogist
had to grope his way further, and con-
tinued that Lasker was fairly construc-
tive, but deficient in self-esteem. So
far nothing was said of games, and the
reporter in a careless way asked wheth.
er Lasker would be able to play any
games. The professor answered.:
HE might play chess little, but I
should say cricket was his speciality >.
