WOUNDED MEXICAN
 ALONE FOR HOURS
Near Dead From Knife Wounds Injured Man Was Found
 at Break of Day.

"Tintown,' notorious lately as be- ing the scene of many crimess is again in the spotlight A Mexican, cut in many places by some one not known, is in a precaTious condition, and may die. @iss
 Protosio Beyroyal is his name. He was found in a Mexican hut in Tin town" by Deputy Sheriff Frank Bauer and Justice Grier of Lowell, who had been notified that the man was dead They found him stiIi alive. but very weak from loss of blood.
 He was brought to the city in an ambulance, and taken to a residence on Chihuahua Hill, an dgiven medi- cal attention by Dr. c. L. Caven. The Parties in whose hands the wounded man was found stated that he had been found on the mountain side at the break of day, and from the con dition of his wounds it is probable that he had been there for five or 1 six hours.
 No statement has been secured from :, the wounded man, owing to his
 weakness, but it is very likely that | in case he becomes stronger he will refuse to talk, after the manner of his kind. No arrests have been made l in connection with the affair

TROOP GATHERING
 1T LEON SPRINGS
It Is Estimated That 10000 Soldiers Will Be MObiIized
 in Texas,
Especial to The Reyiewl


 SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 2T.- Mobilization of troops of the regular army in the department of Texas at the Leon Springs military reserva. tion, a few miles northwest of this city, has already begun. Fort Sam Houston is practically deserted, be ing garrisoned by one troop of caval- " and one company of infantry. The encampment does not begin regular ly until July 1st but the regular troops are being hardened for the campaign of instruction by long prac- miles. Most of the troops of Fort Sam Houston are going to the reser- vation by way of Austin.
 It is estimated that in the neigh borhood of ten thousand troops will be mobilized at the reservation during July. These will include all of the soldiers of the regular establishment of Texas, 26O0 men from the Texas National Guards, consisting of one battery of artillery, one company of the signal corps, one squadron of cavalry and three regiments of infan- try. 4 regiment Is also expected from New Mexico, Oklahoma, one | rom Louisiana and one from Miss issippi. These. however, will not all ! be in camp at the same time. h. ! structions have been issued from the war department that no militia men not in physical condition to stand the hardships of the campaign shall ! be allowed to enter the camp. The regular army officers have been told off to give instructions in the art oi warfare to militia men.
 Everything is in readiness at the ! reservation for the accommodation of the soldiers. Numerous wells have been sunk so as to give an abundance | of pure artesian water, bathing places have been arranged in the streams, and the plans are drawn fol the building of a great artificial lake on the reservation, which, however, will not be available for this years encampment.
 l The reservation consists of abOu; 18,000 acres in the mountains to the northwest of San Antonio, with broaC wooded valleys and rough shaggy mountains. It is ar ideal place fol

CREWS BALANCED
 FOR THE BIG RACE
Interest Grows in IntercoIle- giate Contest on the Hudson
 at Poughkeepsie,

PoUGHKEEPSIE. \. r., June g. The five crews entered for the in tercollegiate regatta to be held on the Hudson river here next Saturday af. ternoon will enter tomorrow upon their last days training with greater uncertainty as to the result of the contests than has been known in many years.
 Contrary to the last two years. there is no widespread belief that Cornell will win the university eight cared race. or the other two events on the program, the two nile race for university fours and the two mile race for freshman eigats. The pres tige of victories on the POughkeep- sic course seems to have beea broken by the, defeats which Cornell has ex- perienced this year. and the ithacaL s have come to PougAksepsie with taeir veteran coach admitting that he does not expect to see Corae.I wi,i mGre than the freshman race this year Deductions favorable to Syracuse and Pennsylvania are made from the l results of the spring races held be 1 fore the crews assembled here for fi- nal training. Harvard defeated An napolis by half a length Annapolis | defeated Columbia by five feet. Syr. l aeuse defeated Annapolis easily by a ! length and a half All of these races were for two miles, which did not fairly test the endurance of the crews, because the big race here will be for four miles.
 Harvard defeated Cornell by ten ] lengths in one and seven -eighths miles, while Pennsylvania victory l at Ithaca was a length and a quarteI ! in two miles. Now, it is argued by those who are fearing the Cornell | stroke. if Harvard and Syracuse could beat Annapolis and if Harvard could l beat Cornell ten lengths in less than two miles. what chance does Cornell stand of defeating Syracuse? By tfft same process of deduction, it is ar gued that Pennsylvania should defea Cornell. Columbia, notwithstanding her crew, is regarded as in fine form land a likely combination, does not fare well in this scheme of figuring

The Sum of the Discounts.

 Marx Twain is the most interesting character in American literature to- day and has made more money out of Swanson, representative of one of the greatest publishing houses. He lives just around the corner from our place. and so we see him vety often. He is never so happy as when telling a story. and IS often seen doing so in a group of congenial spirits.

Clean Streets at I.aaf.

A Newark school has got the boys interested in keeping the streets clean. The work began with the schoolhouse, but has spread. The Circle says:
 There is, for instance. a young tru- ant officer and a street inspector for each street in the district. who report any violation of school or city ordi- nances occurring on their streets. Sup pose, for example. an ignorant immi- grant family dump their ashes on the sidewalk instead of into a barrel. The child who is the sch Jol city Inspector for that street, reports the matter to his chief. the commissioner of public works. the commissioner to the mayor, and the mayor to the principal. The principal then calls to his office the child of the offending parents. explains the ash ordinance, and charges the child to request the parents in future to observe the ordinance. If the same complaint is again entered against the same family, the principal adds to his request threat to notify the city po- lice if they refuse to comply. Such a threat has in every case been ef- fective without the actual intervention of the police

knIrrn out In Ohio.

Baltimore Sun.
 The Foraker and Taft forces in Ohio have not yet engaged in a battle all along the line. but there has been sharp skirmishing up to date with in- dications that a fight to the hnish IS inevitable. Republicans have way of fighting each other desperate ly before g convention, but standing shoulder to shoulder after interparty strife against the opposition party. IT this willingness and capacity to get together had not been demonstrated time and again. it might seem that Republican dissensions in Ohio would afford the Democrats of Ohio an op- portunity to carry the State next No- Vember. Senator Foraker and his ad- herents are not only angry, but they appear to be irreconcilable. Their po- utical existence seems to beat stake But 1t would be unwise to assume thus far in advance of the Chicago con vention. that the Taft and Forake~ forces will he as hostile to each other next November as they are now. Sena' tor Foraker is a man of strong feeling and a determined fighter; but he Is also a very practical politician with no de- sire to retiPe permanently from public office Secretary Taft does not look like a statesman who would rather de' stroy political rivals in his own party than be President Therefore there may be compromise and peace ulti- mately. But before the truce Is arrang- ed the knives will he sharpened and there may be gore in both political camps.

AN oIt, oNr
Says The Portland oregonian 1:

The death of Mrs Mary Wood of Hfllsboro, at the ripe age of 12e years, raises the interesting question wheth- CT the climate of Oregon may not ul- t,ims'eiy ,t ns e, restore the antsdeluyian linn gan life in Missouri. calamity which naturally shortened her days. Had sn sne been bor2 in Oregon 1t is safe been cut Noff at six score years. but might have lived out two eomplete centuries at least. And this ts only a oeginning, Very likely when the or fects on the race. Methusaleans will be as common here as prunes.
 The obvious intent of The oregonian is to create the belief that all that is necessar; U bring b,ex the Ionge,- ity of the earliest inhabitsr ITS of earth is that one shall be born in oregon and remain there. Being born in anoth- CT State snt removing in early life to Oregon helps some and may carry one beyond the century period, but the right thing to do is to have yourself born in that State and stick to it. Now if this Mrs. Wood had, been a born oregonian she might have been two or three centuries old by this time and still hale and hearty. The only ob. stacles we see lies in the fact thar there is not room in Oregon for ev- erybody to be born there.
 We do not know if this notable in- stance of human longevity has escaped the notice of The Houston Post, but presume that 1t has. else that boast full organ would at once have claim ed the woman was born in Texas which gave her such a good start that she couldn't help living long time. However, there wasn't any Texas when she first saw the light. so it was not for her to have been born there. That fact may save The Post from feeling hurt at the statement that she began life in Missouri.

Letter to The Editor
The Cotton Problem.

Editor The Advertiser;
 was very much gratifed at the opinion expressed in The Advertiser of yesterday that the present cotton crop will not exceed 1i.OOO, 900 bales. The statistical situation abundanciy Justifies your estimate. The receipts in India are 25 per cent. less than this date last year. The prospect for bet ter prices for the unsold balance of the financial troubles cotton would per bale than at present. The spin ners have begun to curtail production with the view of holding down the price of cotton. That is a rt-sight- ed policy. Prints are selling on a basis of Is cents for raw cotton and the spinners are coining money. When cotton was selling at cents they sold prints for cents per yard. One pound yard of prints so that a pound of cot ton when turned into cloth brought the spinner 2l cents. leaving 15 cents to cover expenses of. manufacturing and profit. Now the spinner gets cents per yard which yields 35 cents. the product of one pound of cotton. De- is a margin of 20 cents as against IS cents at the former price. Now then, who can gainsay the farmers conten- tion that-15 cents Is a fair price for cotton? But the spinner in order to hold the price of cotton down to the cost of production to the farmer. is curtailing the output of his mills. This will prove a boomerang. for the cot ton ia will meet it with reduc- ton of acreage tn cotton this year Were all the farmers of the cotton States to produce suffich.ncy Of corn. meat hay. etc. the acreage in cotton would be greatly reduced ana the re- suit would be that we would receive as much money for what cotton We did grow as we now receive. and it he a surplus at that and soon the Southern people would have money to burn The all-cottur mania Is the will of-the- wisp that has led our people from the highway of prosperity into the quagmires of debt and poverty. Di- versification. rotation of crops. intelli- gent and intensive cultivation of crops will enable us to realize all the ad- vantages "a benign Providence intended for us when we were given a practi- cal monopoly of growing cotton to clothe the world.
 Will The Advertiser lend weight of it's influence In arousing the people to a realization of the possibilities with in our grasp?
 Yours truly.

The Pacific Fleet.

London Spectator.
 It is natural that the politicians of the American fleet for the Pacific with an interest mot entirely devoid of un- easines. The incident reveals to them clearly that the strength of the great republic. which they have long since acknowledged is not merely potential, but actual. that m other words, she can send to any corner of the oceans a fleet completely provided with all re- ly new revelation of the formidable strength which the republic can exert in any corner of the world, and jus tifea the claim of the Union to be one of the great and active powers of the earth. The President may well look upon it with pride.

H country Is even less effective. as a senerAi proposition. even if the-suf- ferfns. seething multitude could fol- low the advice. which is generally not possible. Trolley lines. rural free de- livery and telephones are doing much to make country life less monotonous ana more desirable. and 1t may be that these and other improvements in rural living may have tendency to cheek the disposition to crowd into the cities and thus in time relieve the conges- ton. It iseta be hoped so.S for even at the best of times ,overpopulation Is little less than disastrous. and at such .a time as the present it is not far from murderous.
