Yaouis differ materially from the
numerous other tribes inhabiting this
section of the globe, says writer in
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. While
thoroughly partaking of the ferocious
nature of the Apaches of the American
frontier, and entertaining quite as
pronounced hatred for all people OF
more civilized tastes, they are char
acterized by very distinct prediction
for intelligent forms of government.
But that any restrictions or obligations
should be placed upon them by an
alien people, such as they have ever
been disposed to regard all mankind
not OF their tribe, they are disposed
to consider as unwarranted interfer-
ence with their hereditary customs.
and hence intolerable. The Yaquis
have been a constant source of dread
to the Mexicans ever since the first
attempt at civilizing the nor orthwestern
section of the republic, to which
movement the former have been most
strenuously opposed. Like other
North American tribes, they hold that
the territory they inhabit is theirs by
right OF inheritance from their fore
fathers, and every foot of land that
has from time to time been wrenched
from them has ultimately been paid
for by the life's blood of the invaders.
During past centuries the Yaquis
have been almost necessarily at war
with the SpaniNrds and their Mexican
descendants, and by degrees their
' once powerful tribe has been reduced
until at the present day it numbers
less than $4,000 members. Of their
former broad domain all the posses
sions that now remain to the Yaquis
are few leagues of land situated in
the lower valleys of the Rio Yaqui, in
the southern portion of the State of
Sonora. Here, during the brief inter
walls of peace which they have occa-
sionally experienced, they have made
their homes, following their natural
pursuits of farming, stock raising and (
mining. This is the land that has
been officially assigned to them by tHe
Mexican Government Back Of it,5

No Room For Drunkards.

Thirty OF the leading business men Of
Minneapolis were recently asked 'Is there
room in your line Of business for an ex.
ceptionally capable young man, who has
every qualification for business except that
out OF business hours he drinks In modera-
tion with friends:" In five days those
thirty men had responded each for himself
and without knowledge OF the others, aud
all had the same story to tell. Not one had
any time or use for men In their business
who drank. AS business men are governed,
in their employment OF labor, solely by re-
suits attained, the growing custom OF dis
eliminating against drinking men as en-
ployes is simple and direct testimony as
to the evil effects OF liquor upon the brain
and hand OF the worker.

from one of the original seven emigra-

THE DESIRE To JUMP.
An Unexpected Sensation Experienced by
Many Persons.

Many persons who visit Niagars
Falls find they have great desire tc
leap from various points OIL the sev'
eral bridges or from one of the numer-
Gus points of observation. For this
reason, after once having experienced
the fascinating sensation that coa1es
them on to death in the deep and
rapid running waters, they never go
near any of the seductive points with
out being in company with some ono
who will guard them from harm as a
result of what, perhaps, might be
termed by some their weakness.
Many people who have visited
Niagara have confessed that the
waters of the beautiful river had a
weird fascination for them while
standing at places where death would
be easy by simply letting go ones
hold and slipping into the river, and
people saved from suicide there have
admitted that they knew no reason
why they should end their lives, but
the scene was 80 delightful that it
coaxed them To seek the peace Of
death there.

DISORDER
Was saM arked Feature
Of Republican Judicial
Convention.
Nominee Was a Greatly
Surprised Man.
Had Considered Himself Out
of the Race.
Suggestion Of an Akron Attorney Was
Acted On.

The nomination of George Hayden,
at the Judicial convention in Medina
Friday, surprised no one more than it
did the nominee. 1t was true that he
had been q candidate for the honor pre-
vous to the holding of the caucuses in
Medina county. He captured but two
of the 80 delegates and had considered
himself out of the running.
His name had not been mentioned up
to the time that Medina swung in and
cast % of her 30 votes for him. The
delegates from thnt county had just
returned from caucus. They had
failed to agree upon any solution of the
problem and were about to split, as on
the previous ballots. An Akron at
torney went to them and informed the
leader that unless they got together
on the fifth ballot it was all over
with Medina. He suggested that Hay
den receive the united support of the
Medina delegation. His suggestion
was accepted and all but three of the
delegates voted that way. The dark
horse candidates from outside coun-
ties were working like beavers when
JnHino h,,. H.
lived that the time had arrived when
they could cut in and land the nomina-
ton. The new turn of affairs fell like
a wet blanket on their aspirations.
Several Summit county men made an
heroic effort to get the delegation in
to a caucus. A majority of the dele-
gates wanted to go to Hayden. 1t was
decided to ballot. Fifty-two votes
were necessary to nominate. Just that
number were given to the Medina coun-
ty candidate. Lorain had intended to
vote solidly for Webber, who was a
very prominent dark horse. AS soon
as SUBMITS vote was announced the
Lorain delegation went to Hayden.
1t was generally agreed that the Sc
lection was the best that could have
been made, provided the honor was to
go to Medina. The nominee is an ell
derly man, being Go years of age. He
is an able lawyer and generally respect
ed. He has never held office before,
and has never taken L prominent part
in politics. He will spend the greater
part of his time in this city.
The convention was held in the Com
mon Pleas court room, which was de-
signed to accommodate 200 or 300 peo-
pie. 1t was packed to the doors. 1t
was impossible to maintain order and
the convention resembled a caucus in
the Fourth ward as they used to have
them 10 years ago. Five ballots were
taken in five hours. Medina and Lor-
ain were very slow in voting. There
seemed to be n general fear that crook
edness was to cut SOME figure. Several
times the Lorain delegation had to
have two counts for a single ballot.
On the second ballot one delegate
wanted to challenge the vote but was
hooted down. The Lorain men were
They succeeded in having a
call of the counties so arranged that
Lorain came last. BY doing this they
placed themselves in position to
swing in at the proper time and give
Medina the nominating votes. Take
it all in ali it was n remarkably hot
convention for judicion nomination.
