one difficulty with Woodruff, Cortleyou

Mexican Indians Considered Them

Mrs Zelia Nuttall, the archeologist, was making some excavations in Mexi co The Indians were removing the earth some distance from the point of excavation in the customary manner; that is, on piece of coarse cloth tied between two poles, stretcher fashion carried by two Indians.
 Ths method seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nuttall so she ordered sey- eral iron wheelbarrows from the city When they arrived she turned them over to the foreman after explaining to him what they were for and how to use them
 Next day when she visited the work the Indians had discarded their primi- tive parihuelas and were using the bright new wheelbarrows As each barrow was filled with earth 1t was picked up by two Indians, one using the handles and the other the wheel, and carried to the place where the earth was 10 be deposited

 Drought Damage to the Fields.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct 21.-Heavy rains throughout the Nebraska winter wheat belt, the precipitation varying from one to four inches, have thoroughly soaked the soil and removed the dan ger of drought damage to the fall-sown wheat crop C. c, Crittenden, presi- dent of the Central Granaries com pany. with so stations in Nebraska, said Tuesday: Winter wheat scares are common in Nebraska, but the state has not missed a fair crop in the past eight years. Our information Is that all but small portion of the crop in Nebraska has been sowed, and it is not too late to complete the sowing. The acreage. in my judgment. will be normal and may be greater than s year ago Right now the crop situa' ton is entirely satisfactory" Mir.

Not a Single Case of Friction Has De veloped Between the Japanese ano Their Guests--A Baseball Game The Japanese the Victors-oi Course Umpire Was Rotten"

Tokoyo, Oct. 22.--The third day oi the American occupation Of Japan brought about every description or en tertainment for the officers and men oi the Atlantic fleet and the visiting Dus mess men from the Pacific coast rom an audience and luncheon with royalty to a baseball game between nlnes or the fleet and Keio university Lunch cons, garden parties, Japanese dinners commencing early, European dinners beginning later and theater parties, all involving the careful distribution ol invitations, because occurring in hall a dozen places at the same time, kept the American guests of the Japanese nation busy.
 For the present Tokyo is the center of attraction, many officers and about 600 men visiting this city daily, but Yokohama is filled with blueJackets who are offered every form of enter tainment, while large numbers of otn CTS are visiting nearby points of inter est by means of special trains.
 Up to the present time perfect order has prevailed among the sailors on shore liberty despite their long tour of sea duty. In every case where there has been a possibility of trouble the Japanese have met the situation with the utmost courtesy avoiding any friction.
 Wednesdays programme will bring together the largest gathering of in. yited guests, both residents of thls city and visiting Americans that has yet occurred during the reception when 2,000 persons assemble as guests of Admiral Togo at a garden party. Tie affair will be held at the ShinJuku imperial gardens. In the evening Premier Katsura will entertain the American officers at dinner and follow ing this will come the social event of the weeks entertainment, grand ball.
 Other events of the day will be luncheons given by Baron Terauchi, Baron Mitsui and Japanese dinner at which Baron Iwasaki will be the host. There will also be many other forms of entertainment which completely ill the day.
 There is no diminution in the pop, ular enthusiasm with which the Amer jeans are received on the streets and wherever the carriages bearing the American officers appear the streets are lined with cheering masses of Japanese. It is ''banzai" everywhere for the officers and men of the fleet and the most popular cry among the children of Japan is three cheers for America"
 The baseball game finally resulted in a victory for the Japanese team after 15 innings had been played. The de cision of the Japanese umpire was questioned but good humoredly accept ed by the boys of the fleet.
