SAD SERVICES ATTENDED
 MISS McDoNALD's BURIAL

Of the funeral services held for the late Miss Laura Mcdonald, a young lady who spent several months here last winter with her brother. the Sedalia Democrat-Sentinel in part says:
 ''The last sad rites over the remains of Miss Laura B. Mcdonald, who died last Monday evening. were conducted by the Rev. A. w. Kokendoffer. the pastor of the First Christian church. at 3.30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, in the presence of large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.
 .'The funeral was one of the saddest conducted in Sedalia in years. The dead girl was sttired in a gown made by herself shortly before her death, and was pronounced to be the most gorgeously gowned corpse ever buried in Sedalia.
 An unusual incident in connection with the funeral was the chanting of a hymn as the funeral cortege entered the ediffce, and again as the funeral party departed.
 Rev. Kowendoffer's remarks were touching in the extreme. and during the discourse tears fell from the eyes of many"

Five New Cases According to the Official Report of pr.
 Godfrey

That Benson is in the throes of an- other typhoid fever epidemic is the news officially reported to Dr. E. s. Godfrey of Tucson, territorial superin- tendent of health. The disease was first discovered on the eleventh of this month and since that time. five new cases have been reported. 1t is believed that the fever germs were conveyed in milk. although this fact has not been established to a oer- tainty.
 This is the second epidemic of ty- phoid fever at Benson within the past two months. During the first epidem- ic the Benson people dispatched a rep resentative to this city to engage the services of Dr. Schnabel. city bac- terioiogist. He requested Dr. Scnabei to visit the junction town and make a thorough inspection of the water and milk. His instruments not hay ing arrived, the local physician de clined During the first outbreak Of typhoid at Benson, one person died from the diseaase. All cases were cured and Benson was again enjoy ing excellent health conditions when the disease broke out anew.
 There have been four disease epi- demics in the territory during the past few months. according to statfs. ties on file in the office of Dr. God. frey in this c'ty. These were at Ben son and Prescott. Prescott having sui fered two diptheria epidemics and Benson two typhoid outbreaks. All. it is said. originated from polluted milk.

The funeral cer- emonies which preceded the inter. ment took place in St. Stanislaus' ca thedral. which was elaborately drap- ed with emblems of mourning. Ad mission was by ticket and the spa cious edifice was crowded in all parts.

The catalfacque upon which the remains of the actress lay in state for two
 days previous to the interment was

POLITICS lDsORDS
 INTEREST 0F PUBLIC
Organization of Reyes Clubs In Mexico Continue Despite
 Measures

That the all-absorbing topic about places where men gather in Mexico is the internal politics of that coun- try is the statement made by Dr. Emilio Luebbert of Moctezuma, who has spent several days in Doug las recently.
 The political conflict" said Dr. Luebber, Ifs for the vice presidency, the candidates being Ramon Corral, present vice president and the favor ite of the 'offlciaP party. and Govern or Reyes of the state of Nuevo Leon, probably the most popuiar man in Mexico, taking the people by and large. For strenuosity. your politics in this country are very mild-man nered affairs. Reyes demonstrations are occurring all over the republic. though the election is a year of. and for the first time in the history of the republic is being asserted a real op. position to the wishes of the 'oficial' party. The first death as the result of the campaign occurred at Alamos, the native town of Ramon Corral. At Guaymas the Reyes demonstrators were jailed in large numbers when they attempted to speak and hold a parade. The same thing happened TO gently at Nogales, Sonora.
 Despite the activity of the officials everywhere, who naturally sympa thize to a greater or less degree with the official party. Reyes clubs are be. ing formed and a popular election in Mexico will probably be given its first real trial. Among the masses of the people and the army element of the country. Reyes is a political idol. Sc strong is he, in fact. that he has not been disturbed in his occupancy ot the office of governor of Nuevo Leon the chief city of which is Monterey Were he to be displaced in any man ner not regular. serious internal troubles might take place.
 "The election. believe, will be held in the last week of August. a year hence. The people vote for electors as in this country. If no serious trouble precedes the election, requir ing strong-arm measures. it would not surprise me if Reyes should either be elected or make very strong show ing"
