OUR SHOES IN MEXICO.
They Are Much Liked By the Natives,
But the Prices Are Excess
lively High.

According to United States Consul
Canada at Vera Cruz, trade conditions
in that part of Mexico have undergone a
great change within the past ten years,
especially with respect to American
shoes. In former years it was impos-
fible to buy anything in Vera Cruz in
the line Of shoe leather except that of
native stock and manufacture, and
ready-made shoes for Americans were
not to be had at all.
United States shoes have, however.
within a very short time made a name
for themselves, and, the consul says,
were 1t not for the excessively high
prices asked for them they would sure
ly drive all others out of the market.
As 1t is, however, he adds, only the
better classes can enjoy the luxury Of
our shoes, and the great mass Of the
people is debarred from that privilege
The principal obstacle to a heavier
business is the high import duty and
the fluctuations in the value of sill
YER The duty on the cheapest shoes is
the same as on the finest productions

afgurss Collected By an Insuraass
Company Prove That Sslf-Aur-
der Grows More Common.

In the Spectator, an insurance jour
company gives an analysis of the sui
eide record for the year 1901. His fig
ures are taken from SO cities, and show
Az average slight increase over the
ratio for the preceding decade of near
ly one per cent, from 1871 TO 1916 per
100. 900 population. He estimates an
approximate annual mortality by sui
eide of 10000 in the country as whole.
The implied conclusion is that a fur
ther increase in the rate of suicidal
tendency in the cities OF this country
may be expected during the next dec
ade, and the suicide question, like ar
son in fire insurance, is thus becom-
ing more and more one of the utmost
importance TO life insurance com
panieK.
He also gives another table showing
the experience of one company for
the last SIS years, dividing it into two
periods, including males only, as the
female suicide statistics are too insig-
nificant to be tabulated. This shows 9
percentage of suicides in the total NOR
tally of pa in the later as compared
with 10 in the earlier period. The age
of suicides seems also to have lessened
as the suicides under As increased from
81 per cent. to 3.9 per cent in the later
period, and there was an actual Dc
crease Of those in advanced life.

A Bloody Fight.

Ike NAV, foreman OF the Reno Star
mine at Wedekind, and George Smith. a
miner, had a fight Sunday night that
may result in Mays death. The Ga
zette gives the following particulars.
May has been acting in the capacity OF
foreman at the Reno Star for about six
months. He is man of large stature,
weighing fully two hundred pounds, and
about fifty years OF age. Smith is a
much smaller man, and no match for the
foreman in a rough and tumble fight.
Smith has worked at the mine but a
short time and last night went to the
bunk house and told the other miners
that he was going to leave as it was i'm
possible to get along with May. Smith
was sitting on the bed while talking and
at this point May entered the room. A
few hot words were exchanged. but it
was impossible to say who hit the first
blow, although there we're several eye
witnesses. In moment the men clinch-
ed and fell TO the floor, with May on top
of the smaller man.
Smith was getting decidedly the
worst of the mix up when he reached for
and secured dirk about five inches
long. and thrust it into May, cutting
cash from his shoulder blade to the
second rib, another thrust went into his
back about the kidneys and still another
from the front of the forehead to the
back of his head. Both men were fight
ing like demons and Smith was stabbins
every time he got chance. 1t was i'm
possible for the onlookers to stop the
combat. Later in the struggle the knife
was sent through the heshy part of the
left arm, and then, probably turned side
ways, seyering all the muscles and ar
teries. Should May recover his left arm
will be useless. When the men we're
finally separated May was drenched in
blood from head to foot and his clothing
worn Sunday night is stiff with clots of
blood. The injured man was taken care
of by the people of Weedkind and Sheriff
Hayes was notified of the trouble.
Dr. Thoma dressed Mays wounds and
in addition to the cuts described above
there was dozens OF small gashes and
May was bleeding profusely from doz-
en- wounds. Smith was taken to the
Reno Jail where he is held pending the
result of Mays injuries.

Ten New Conn
nandmentS.

The following new commandments,
we take from an exchange, saould be
read, remembered and preserved by
mankind in general:
Thou shalt not go away from home
to do any trading nor thy son nor thy
daughter.
II-Thou shalt patropize thy home
merchant and thy home printer, for yea
verify doth Thy home printer spread over
the land glad tidings of thy goodness
and the people everywhere shall pat
ronize thee.
lIl-Thou shalt employ the town
mechanics that they may not be driven
from their homes to find food tor their
little ones; thou shalt consider him as
thy neighbor, above them that dwelleth
in a strange town.
1V-Thou shalt not ask for credit, as
goods cost much money and the mer
chants brain is burdened with bills.
V-Thou shalt not ask for reduced
prices for thy influence for, behold
guile is in thy heart aud the merchant
readeth it like book.
VI-Thou shalt do whatever lieth in
thy power to encourage and promote the
welfare of thine own town aud thine own
people.
VII-Thou shalt not suffer the voice
of pride to overcome thee, and il other
towns entice thee, consent thou not, thou
may yest be deceived.
VIII-Thou shalt spend thy earnings
at home, that they may return from
whence they came and give nourshment
for such as may come after thee.
IX-Thou shalt not bear false witness
against the town wherein thou dwellest,
but speak well of it to all men.
X Thou shalt take these command
ments and teach them to thy children to
the third and fourth generations, that
they may be made to flourish and grow
in plenty when thou art laid to rest with
thy fathers.

Be a Booster.

"a Booster" is not very elegant ex-
preston, but it is decidedly suggestive.
You can't mistake the meaning.
Some people and every community
has th.m) are never content unless they
are forever and eternally calamity howl
ing and trying to destroy the fruit of the
energy and labor of others.
They are willing to absorb all of the
good things that come along themselves
but it is the bitterness Of gall to see
neighbor succeed.
Such men are responsible when town
never keeps pace with the times, when it
is without manufacturing enterprises.
when lts citizens spend their time whit
Ting dry gooas boxes on the street
corners, and indulging in similar lazy
vocations.
When man of energy comes along
and tries to inject little life into the
business of the town these same citizens
decry his acts and point to him as a
visionary and unsafe man.
In time he becomes disgusted and
leaves the town to its sleepy existence.
Buy why not charge this order of
things and bring our community to the
front along with the rest of the energetic
cities and townsY
In other words, why not resolve our
selves into community of boosters?
1t will mean healthier and happier
existence for each and every one of us;
il will mean the bringing of capital to
our town and money to the pockets of
our wage workers: it will mean the en-
ploying at reasonable wages OF many
young men who now spend their time in
idleness; it will mean the erection OF new
residences for the accommodation of
others, and it will mean the upbuilding
Of the community in general.

Frightened Miners.

The Miner of Butte, Mont, prints the
following from Gem, Idaho.
All the miners employed at the Frisco
mine here, to the number of several
hundred, walked out this morning, and
the mine has been closed in consequence.
The cauee Of the walkout is that the men
were afraid to work in the mine on ac-
count of explosions and earthquake
shocks, which they cannot explain q
cause for. Many of the miners say they
would not return to work in the mine
for any price. All OF the trouble seems
to be below the 1S00-foot level, and
from there to the 1000 level, the miners
say. Some peculiar force keeps up a
continual bombardment OF rocks, hurl-
ing about the slopes and drifts. Par
ticularly after firing time, the miners
claim the noise of the cracking Of the
rocks to be greatest, but at any time
boulders or several square feet OF rock
and dirt may be expected to fly from the
face or stope with bang. Some OF the
explosions are heard and felt in town.
An explosion few days ago felt like
slight earthquake shock, and ratified
the windows in the houses. Mining en-
gineers say the miners are frightened by
the loud noise made by the cracking
rocks more than anything eles. They
claim there is no danger Of any very
heavy explosions, but they say they do
not blame the miners for not wanting to
run chances.

A Very Poor Show
ing.

The Instructors of the rising genera
tion OF Utah have never been renowned
for great capa ,ity as school teachers, and
an incident that occurred last week
shows them up in very poor light IN
deed. The teachers of that State are
holding an institute at Salt Lake City,
and a large attendance at the sessions
has been the rule, says an exchange.
The event of last Tuesday afternoon
was a spelling contest in which 150
teachers participated. Henry R. Pat
tengill of Michigan, was delivering
lecture on the practical method of
teaching spelling in the grammar grade.
He made the point that there are many
words which spell themselves as it were
and that there are on the other hand many
that require careful study To demon
strate the truth of this statement he
called upon the teachers to rise and in-
formed them that he would give out
certain words which he wished each
teacher to spell. Those who failed on
a word were to be seated.
Fifteen words were given out and
there did not remain standing a single
teacher.
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1903-10-15

This is certainly poor showing for
the Utah teachers and does not speak
very well for the schools of that State.
Our Nevada teachers can beat such work
as that all hollow. But it is a we'll
known fact that nine tenths of the Utah
teachers could not secure a primary GER
tificate in this State.
