London, June 27.-Delayed advices
from Lisbon dated June "a say that
the students are now leading the rev.

capital. On the evening of that date
gendarmes dispersed a meeting at
which the "Marseillaise" was sung
and many persons received saber

The confusion of the national situa-

conservative opinion in Lisbon is that
England should interfere before either
revolution or absolutism precipitates a
fatal struggle.
Vienna, June 27.-The crisis in Por-

are watched with the greatest inter

as imperial circles are concerned
probably centers chiefly In the effect
which a republican triumph In Portu-
gal would be likely to have in Spain
and on the dynasty there. There are
reports that Austria and Spain are
both bringing pressure on King Carlos
to change his form Of government to
appease popular indignation with a
view to preventing trouble, which they
believe would not be confined to the
limits of his kingdom.

The most serious problem tnat con-
fronts the rural towns and villages
Of this country is the competition Of
fered local enterprisSs by the cata-
iogue houses Of the large cities. 1t is
problem FOR which a solution must
be found If the prosperity and sta
bility Of the nation Is to stand.
And the solution of this great prob
lem lies in the ham Of the people of
the towns and villages and the farms,
especially the farms.
The people of the rural communities
have. everything to lose and nothing
to gain by sending their money to
the catalogue houses. by passing by
their local merchants and sending
their dollars to the concerns who have
absolutely no interest in their com
Inunities.
These catalogue houses do not pay
taxes in your town; the local mer-
chant does. They do not build side
walks In your town; the local mer-
chant does. They do not contribute
to the building OF roads over which
the crops Of the farms are hauled to
market; the local merchant does.

Creel. acting governor of the State Of
Chihuahua and who has been appoint
ed ambassador to the United States,
will be one Of the richest men in
the world when he comes into pos
session Of his share Of the fortune OF
Gen. Luis Terrazas, his fatherin-law,
and adds It to HIS own wealth.
Governor Creel is an American in
his parentage but a native Of Mexico.
He was born in this city August 81,
1854 He is one Of the ablest finan-
ciers in Mexico.
He took leading part in establish
ing the new monetary system for the
Mexican government He Is interest
ed with Gen. Terrazas in many big
enterprises and has practically had
the control Of his father-in-law's vast
holdings for many years. This has
brought him into close contact with
men Of finance Of all lands, particular
ly Mexico and the United States
Governor Creel's wealth is now es-
timated to be not less than $25.000,-
600. The fortune of Gen. Terrazas is
upward Of $20O,OOO,OOO. 1t has been
said that he practically owns the state
and city Of Chihuahua.
His mines. ranches, farms. banks,
manufacturing plants. houses and
business blocks bring him in a great
annual revenue. He was governor of
chihuahua for many years, but on
account Of his advanced age he relin-
quished active duties Of the Office
about three years ago, and his SON
in-law, Mr. Creel, was appointed act
ing governor by President Diaz.
Although Mr.. Creel was born in
Mexico, his Americanism Is plainly
shown in his personality. His father
was Reuben w. Creel, who came to
chihuahua from the United States In
the late 4O's and opened little store
here.
Reuben Creel was a graduate Of one
of the Eastern colleges Of the United
States. He and his wife lived here
until they died. They reared a family
Of seven children. Of which Enrique
was the Oldest.
The little business which the elder
Creel started did not prosper and the
family had hard struggle to live
Enrique FORGE ahead and got place
as teacher in private school in Chi

sisters.

place and they put him in the way O

They do not help to build school
houses for your children; the local
merchant does. They do not assist in
the support Of your churches; the
local merchant does.
But there are some things the cata-
logue houses do for you and the
drst and greatest of these is to assist
materially in bankrupting your com
munity. The dollars they take away
never come back TO you. They will
never help to make a city Of your vii
lage. They will never increase the
value Of your real-estate holdings by
making local improvements.
Let US look at the subject from the
standpoint Of the farmer, for it is the
farmer who Is the greatest patron Of
the catalogue houses.
The town or village one, two or
three miles from his home is his mar.
ket for the butter and eggs and other
produce Of his farm. The half dozen
or more merchants Of the town, each
anxious to obtain his full share OF the
business of the community, maintain
a competition that affords to the
farmer at all times top prices for the
products Of his farm. It is these halt
dozen merchants that make farm
proats possible; the profits are in no
way due to the catalogue houses Of
the cities.
But the farmer persists in sending
his dollars 10 the city. He wants a
buggy, or a set Of harness, or a pair
Of stockings, or any of the necessities
or Injuries Of life, ard to get them he
takes out his mail order catalogue and
looks at the finely printed cuts, reads
the well written description. and. pass.
ing the local merchant by. the NOR
chant who has purchased his produce
at the best. market prices. the mer.
chant who has helped to build the
community, he sends his dollars to
the catalogue house in the city and
takes what they choose to send him.
What Is the resuS2
One after another the doors Of the
local stores are closed, and where at
one time there were half a dozen mer
chants, each bidding for his share Of
patronage by offering fair PRICES for
ihsi which the farmer had to sell.
there is now but one merchant who
has a monopoly not cply Of the sell
ing, but Of the buying as weII, and he
pays what he pieases for the farmers
produce.
Tbs farmer can continue to send his
money to the catalogue house IN the
city for his supplies. but he cannot
send MS produce to the same place.

egg2
Are you sending your dollars to the
catalogue houses and by so doing kill
ing the local industries Of your town?
Are you putting your merchants out
Of business. and creating a monopoly
that win pay You what it pleases for
the products Of your farm?
If you are doing these things It is
time for you to stop and consider the
future. You will have to look but a
little way ahead to see the result, and
it willnot be an attractive picture that
greets you. The prosperous COM
munity Of which you are now a part
will fade ike the summer flowers be
fore the winter winds. and almost as
quickly.
1t is the fact that there is a market
within close proximity to your farm
that makes your acres valuable. The
men who maintain this local market
for you are the men who cause the
railroad trains to stop at your town.
Take them away and soon the town
will be wiped of the map. The
churches will close for lack of support.
The schools will cease to be a pride,
and your sons and daughters will lack
the opportunity that is theirs by right
OF birth, and your acres, that are now
valuable because they lie in close
proximity to a market, will show a
depreciation that will astonish you.
Your interests are identical with
those Of the merchants Of your town.
BY sen1ing your dollars to the city
you may cause the merchants to close
their establishments, but when they
are forced to this they can pack that.
