Ciudad Juarez. Mex, Oct. l6.-
This is the second time in history
that Ciudad Juarez has been the tenn

Mexico but under widely different

In 1866 when Bonita Juarez, con-
stitutional president of Mexico. was
driven in defeat before the troops of
Maximillian. self-appointed emperor
OF the Mexican people. he took refuge
and established his capital in the
little city that lies across the inter
national boundary stream from Ell

rounded by small band of half
starved, poorly clad and almost de-
fenseless patriot soldiers, the presi-
dent of the Mexican republic waited
and hoped and watched for the aid
that he expected from the United
States. After weary waiting. he f.
nallS rallied his forces and set out
on the return march to the City of
Mexico that finally resulted in a bril-
liant victory at Quarotaro over the
emperor and his foreign troops: the
execution of the emperor and the re-
establishment of the Mexican repub-
lie.
There was no prepa ration for the
coming of the first president who

Each team showed good strength

and determination and from the very
opening of the first half there was
promise of a hotly waged contest.
The game was called at 3 pm,
Montrose receiving the ball. A short
kick was followed by few minutes
of fierce playing in which We're exc

The inexperience which character

bright for few moments.

El Paso, Tex, Oct. 16.-Just as
President Taft and his party stepped
from his special train here today
and while the cheers of welcome yet
were ringing in the air, Noll Nor
gan, a 14-year-old schoolboy, said to
be part Mexican, stabbed an Ameri-
can schoolmate, Lawrence Wimber,
to death.
To add to the dramatic Significance
of the tragedy it was learned that the
quarrel between the two schoolboys
was due to a dispute over the pos
session of an American flag.
AS President Taft reached the St.
Regis hotel, where breakfast was to
be rendered him by the citizens Of
the city. the dead body of the boy
lay not 80 yards distant, and it was
not removed from the scene until the
breakfast had almost been completed.
After the breakfast. President Taft
drove in an auto through long lines
of cheering spectators to the Cham
Der OF Commerce building.
\ little later President Diaz of
Mexico, with his battalion of bril-
liantly uniformed staff. followed over
the same lines and was wildly
cheered by the people.

presidents was private At its termi-

NEW FEATURE
FOR THE y.M.C.A.
General Secretary House Announces
the Early Inauguration of Prac-
tical Courses, Including Fruit
Raising, Shorthand, Etc,
TO ORGANIZE SEVERAL CLASSES

VIII A. House. general secretary
of the Y. NJ, G. A, announces that
the local Y. NJ. c. \. will, in accord
ance with plans followed by Y. NJ. c.
A. institutions throughout America,
inaugurate a course of practical stud
les and business accomplishments
within a very short time, and. from
all Indications this new feature of
the Grand Junction Y NJ. G. A. will
attract much attention and arouse
keen interest, especially owing to the
fact that it will provide the young
men with very limited means and
very little time at his disposal for
class work to make himself pretty
thorough in certain important
branches of work, at practically q
nominal expense.
Under corps of competent in
stiuctors and under the general di-
rection of the international commit
tee of the Y NJ c. \. the following
courses will be taken up in very
short time:
Bookkeeping and penmanship.
Shorthand and typewriting.
Business English.
Arithmetic.
Business Law.
Civil Service Preparation.
Agriculture and fruit raising
Two lessons in each course VIII be
given each week and a small fee will
be charged. The work will be car
ricd on in class rooms in the Y, M.
c. \. building.
The courses will continue each
year until April /, and at that time
EXAMINATIONS in each OF the branches
are held simultaneously in all the
Y. NJ. c. AS throughout the United
States
The International committee has
charge of these examinations
A committee of noted authorities
in these respective branches will ex-
anime the papers of each student,
end ststhose who-pnss- the tests cer-
tificates will be issued by the inter
national committee. These certifi-
Gates will admit the holders To de-
partrnents in over t20 of the leading
colleges of the nation.
The many advantages offered by
the Y NJ. C. A. courses are apparent.
1t is great work and has proven
immensely successful and popular
throughout the country.
An interesting feature connected
with the Inauguration of these cours-
es is the fact that at Grand junction
will be put under way the first Y. NJ.
c. A. course in agriculture or fruit
raising ever inaugurated in Y. NJ.
c. A. course. This course will be
of peculiar and particular import
auce to this section. and will doubt
less gain popularity throughout the
country Lectures by prominent
fruit men and experts will be some
of the features of this course in ag-
