Have Not Been Crushed

Tucson, Ariz.-The last vestige of the Yaqui rebellion has not been stamped out. A sharp fight has just taken place in Sonora, at the Santa Maria and Santa Rosa ranches, be- tween band of about fifty Yaquis and a company of militia which was organized at Dek Valle, small town near these ranches and about twenty miles east of Hermosillo. This com pany was organized at the end of the Yaqui uprising and after the with. drawal of nearly all of the federal troops from that neighborhood.
 Caledonia Azuna, the captain of this militia company, was warned that the Yaquis were to make an attack on the Santa Maria ranch and for three days he maintained guard of picked men there. On the afternoon of the third day the Indians attacked the ranch and were repulsed by the militia men after hard fight. They re-collected their forces and were just advancing for a second attack when Azuna with rein- forcements came to the rescue and routed ithe Indians, pursuing them to the Santa Rosa ranch, where another sharp fight took place.
 This time the Indians were com pletely routed, losing sixteen dead and four women who were taken prisoners by the Mexicans. They fled to the Mazatan mountains, where they have been living since the battle in the Uvalama canyon.
 The place where this last fight occurred, the Santa Rosa ranch, was the scene of one of the most desperate fights during the rebellion between General Torres and the combined Yaqui forces.
 The fight at Santa Rosa and Santa Maria ranches will serve as lesson to the Yaquis and it is thought that hereafter they will not venture out of the mountains to attack the ranches guarded by a militia made up of vaqueros and some of the best fighters in Sonora.

Reason and Instinct.

A certain north country miner was particularly proud 0f clever little dog he possessed. At times he was apt to claim a little too much for his pet, and one morning q neighbor was en- deavoring to point out the difference between instinct and reason when an amusing Interruption occurred.
 A seedy looking tramp turned the corner, and the dog, without so much as a word from his master, sprang into the road and offered battle.
 "There you are" laughed the miner as the dog snapped and snarled round the heels of the tramp; "'e don't like the look of the chap. That's instinct"
 Suddenly the tramp turned and kick ed the dog into an adjacent field.
 "There you are" calculated the min CTS friend grimly. "The chap don't like the look of the dog. An that's reason. "-London Tit-Bits.

Vanderbilt, jr. the former are given more than $l,000,00 Of this sum $300,000 in gold coin has been paid by Hermann Oelrichs, on behalf of his wife and sisterin.law to Mrs. Nelson. The money was deposit- ed in the first National bank, of San Francisco where it now stands in the name of Mrs. Nelson.

Fair, the value of which cannot be determined until her estate is apprais- ed. It is, however, estimated by both parties to be worth between $50, ,000 and $6O,000. According to A. R. Cot ton, attorney for Mrs. Nelson, the per sonal property will be distributed by the probate court in four months.
 This is the statement made by Charles J. Smith and Abraham Nell son, brothers of Mrs. Charles L. Fair.

who Executed Charles IL


In the burial register of Whitechapel
under the year 1649 is the following
entry:
June Dist. Richard Brandon, a man
out of Rosemary lane, This Brandon
Is held to be the man who beheaded
Charles the First"
A less distinguished candidate for
the infamy was one William Hewlett,
actually condemned to death after the
restoration for a part he never played
and only saved from the gallows by
the urgent efforts of a few citizens
who swore that Brandon did the deed.
Brandon was not available for retribu-
ton. He had died in his bed six
months after Charles was beheaded
and had been hurried ANONYMOUSLY
into his grave in Whitechapel church
yard. AS public eXecutioner of London
he could hardly escape his destiny, but
1t is said that remorse and horror
shortened his days. In his supposed
"Confession," tract widely circulated
at the time, he claims that he was
fetched out of bed by troop of
horse" and carried against his will to
the scaffold; also that he was paid $50,
all in half crowns, for the work and
had ian orange stuck full Of cloves
and a handkerchief out of the kings
pocket" The orange he sold for 10
shillings in Rosemary lane.-Harper's
Magazine.

The genius to arrange a railroad time
card. or time table, so that it may be
readily, easily and accurately under
stood by the occasional traveller is not
yet born. Perhaps he will have to be
made. But no matter how much the
patrons of a road may be mystified
the management takes particular pains
to supply a special card "for the gov
eminent and information of employees
only" This table is so simple that a
child can understand it. The second
page usually contains a table showing
the rate of speed required per mile for
a train to travel a given number of
miles in an hour. 1t starts at fifteen
miles an hour, which is four minutes
to the mile, and goes as high as 100
miles an hour, or mile in thirty-siX
seconds, and shows 200 subdivisions.
This card gives locations of regular
water stations, yard limits, situations
of standard clocks, maximum speed of
freight trains between different towns,
WAdI udyS are AolludSS, SpeeuS at
which trains may cross bridges at
various hours and list Of all stations
and trains. 1t is likely, of course, that
were similar cards furnished to the
travelling public there would be no
abatement of fool questions. Besides,
it is not to the interest of a railroad
company to take the public too entire
ly into it's confidence.-NewY York Press.

Among the many names for cattle
none is commoner than those which
come from the roots mu and blu, ''to
below" Hence we have the Akkadian
am, "bull;" the Turkic en-ek, "cow;"
the Egyptian am, cattle" and the
Mongol buku, bull" but more dis
tinctiye word is tor, which seems to
mean probably "horned" and which
appears not only as taurus, but as the
Semitic thor and the Mongol shor.
The bull, whether tanned or wild, was
no doubt well known to early man.
The names for goats are also sugges-
tive Of connection and include the Ar
van ais, the Semitic az and probably
the Akkadian w.
For sheep perhaps the oldest word is
the Egyptian ba, but there is a word
for lamb which seems to be widely
distributed, as the Semitic kar, the
Greek kar and the Finnic kari, proba-
bly, from the root kar, to Enclose" or
guard" as meaning herded flock
From the same root come words for
pasture, no doubt allied.-Scottish Re-
