The New Motor Car.


ordered new motor car for the
stub train between Guaymas and
Empalme, and later in the same
way the announcement was made
that the new car would start from
the factory about the first of Aug
ust, and would run through to its
destination upon its own wheels
and by its own power. Those an
nouncements were correct, and
Tuesday of the present week, about
one o'clock in the afternoon the
new car made its appearance at
Nogales. Standing in front of the
depot some time during the after
noon it attracted the attention of
many people and drew for its in
spection an admiring crowd.
The car is about the same length
and size of an ordinary day coach
or Pullman sleeping car, but does
not stand so high above the wheels.
1t is rounded and enclosed at both
ends, entrance being effected from
either side about the middle of the
car. Ascending two or three steps
the passenger is in. a vestibule,
from one side of which a door
opens into smoking room in the
forward part of the car, with the
motor room beyond that in the ex-
treme front. Upon the other side
Of the vestibule a door opens into
the main part of the car. In both
the smoking room and the other
compartment a narrow aisle runs
along the center, along each side of
which are seats upholstered with
dark green leather, that will each
seat three persons, and the total
seating capacity is for about sew
enty passengers. Both inside and
out the car is of elegant finish, the
outside being painted a dull red,
with high polish, and the inside
finish is in cherry and maple,
highly polished also. There are
many windows which are all of
plate glass, large oval panes. The
rounded front of the motor apart
ment is almost entirely of plate
glass. The gasoline motor is of the
latest and most approval model,
and is capable of sustaining a speed
for the car, with its load, of forty
miles per hour.
Under the active offices of Mr..
H. E. Grace, the agent at Nogales
for the Southern Pacific, the car
was crossed over the line and
passed the Mexican custnm house
within a very short time, and it
was ready to proceed to its destina-
ton, but it was deemed advisable
to lay it over night at the line city.
Wednesday morning it was started
upon the last lap of its long jour
ney, leaving the Sonora depot

Rodriguez, who has had similar
employment at the Ell Paso store
Of Samel Leeker in Nogales, Ari-

no evidence, that there had been
bad blood between the boys, and
that anterior to the fatal affray
there had been several encounters
between them. In the difficulty OF
Monday evening, it is reported, that
they were surroundly quickly by
crowd of men and boys who egged
them on and inhamed greatly their
already heated passions toward
each other. Finally the Paredes
boy drew a knife and stabbed his
opponent, running across the line
to his home, where he was arrested
later by the authorities of Nogales,
Sonora, and lodged in Jail, where
he is in durance now. The injured
boy was taken to st. Joseph's hos
pital, where he was attended by
Doctor Mimiaga, and later Doctors

him the stricken youth died Tues

Cooke, j. r. Bent and A. G. Bauer,
who viewed the remains, heard the
testimony of witnesses, and found

his death on account of a knife

Mimiaga, M. Mascarehas Jr., Raoul

ante-mortem statement was secured
from the boy Rodriguez, but it is
OF no legal value because he refused
to make declaration that he be-
ileyed he was at the point of death.
Hls statement was to the effect
that he had grabbed the hat of his

 MARKETS
SOARING OF UNITED STATES STEEL AND READING HAVE
 GREAT INFLUENCE
COPPER IS SLIGHTLY WEAKER
WHEAT MARKET IS NERVOUS BUT DRY WEATHER REPORTS HELP
 SALES OF CORN

NEW YORK, August 5.-The pro fessIonal element Ill the stock specula- tion remained distrustful of the high level of prices today and worked for a reaction, as they did yesterday. Their operations were tentative and so eau tious as to have little effect on prices until bolder attack in the last half hour, when there was evidence of sub stantial realizing.
 United States Steel rose through its previous high record, and Reading passed l64, its previous maximum made In January, 1906. The sentimental eff feet of these two episodes was con siderable. Winding up of the tariff struggle and the conviction that the reopening of the market tomorrow would see the new law enacted, was of some influence in the late active reali. izing.
 The prevailing disposition is to await the country's response before proceed. ing to much greater lengths.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales, $5,- 990,O00. United States bonds were un- changed.

CHICAGO, August 5.-The wheat market was nervous all day. The most severe slump occurred early on Liberal sales by miscellaneous longs, who had bought freely yesterday on the claims of big export business, which was denied today.
 The weakness of foreign markets also inspired free selling. September ranged from 100 to 10lS. The close was weak, at almost the bottom, Sep tember being l00A, December 9s#s, after selling between 9sA and 100.
 Claims of damage to the corn crop by hot weather in Iowa and Illinois, prompted liberal purchases of Septem Der, resulting in material rally follow ing severe slump due to profit taking sales. September ranged between 621a and 6i. The market closed easy, September 63.

lican party to make downward re vision, and to comply with the promises of the platform as they have been gen orally understood and as I interpreted them in the campaign.
 "This is not perfect tariff bill, or complete compliance with the prom ises made, strictly interpreted, but a fulfilment free from criticism in re- spect to a subject matter involving many schedules and thousands of ar ticles could not be expected. It suf. fees to say that, except with regard to whiskey, liquors and wines, and in re- gard to silks and to some high classes of cottons, all of which may be treated as luxuries and proper subjects for rev enue tariff, there have been very few increases in rates.
 "There have been a great number constitute sufficient amount to jus tify the statement that this bill is a substantial downward revision and reduction of excessive rates.
 ''This is not free trade bill. 1t was not intended to be. Tine republican party did not promise to make free trade bill.
 cit promises to make the rates pro- tective, but to reduce them when they exceed the difference between the cost of production abroad and here, making allowances for the greater normal profit on active investments here. l believe that, while excess has not been re- duced in number of cases, in a great sary to protect American industries, but are low enough in the case of ab- normal increase of demand and raising of prices, to permit the possibility of importing the foreign and thus prevent excessive prices.
 "The power granted to the executive under the maximum and minimum clause may be exercised to secure the removal of obstacles that have been interposed by foreign governments in the way of undue and unfair discrim- iuation against American merchandise and products.
 "The Philippine tariff section I have struggled to secure for ten years past, and it gratifies me exceedingly, by my signature to give it the effect of law. am sure it will greatly increase the trade between the two countries, and it will do much to build up the Philippine Islands into condition of healthy pros perity.
 ''The corporation tax is just and equitable excise measure. which it is hoped will produce a sufficient amount to prevent a deficit, and which, incl dentally, will secure valuable statistics and information concerning the many corporations of the country and will constitute an important step toward that degree of publicity and regulation which the tendency in corporations in the last twenty years has shown to be necessary.

A Thrilling Sport.

From Frederick Booths "Swordhsh
Ing or Cape Cod I'm August St
Nicholas: The few sportsmen who Wis
1t the Massachusetts coast in the
summer for big fishing become ac.
qualnted only with the sea bass and
the shark, while the swordfish re-
manning always in the open sea, is
left 10 the tender mercies OF the men
who fish not for sport, but for a live
lihood. eYt If the lover Of exciting
sport should care 10 master the use
OF the harpoon and resort to the open
ca for his diversion, he would dis
cover In the swordfsh a 1t subject
for his most ambitious efforts, and
become acquainted with the swiftest
swimmer the hardest fighter, and,
withal, one OF the most interesting of
the denizens of the ocean.
Young readers of the August st

EpIIeptIcs in public schooIs.

The compulsory education laws
drive-theoretically-all children but
imbeciles and idiots into the schools
and keep them there for a minimum
OF six years toillng over their books,
whether or not they can see, hear or
think. Thus every city, town, village
and hamlet engages itself to provide
for all classes of detectives and de-
generates above a certain level. But
this level is not always maintained
in actual practice. For instance,
when the compulsory education law
went into effect in Baltimore, eighty
three epileptics, liable 10 seizures at
any hour, were found right in the
grades with the other children; while
in Philadelphia there are today, ac-
cOrding TO DR.. Winners estimate,
nearly 1000 imbeciles occupying desks
beside normal children. These un-
fortunates must either be provided
for in the public schools, or cast
out 10 shift for themselves as best
they may; for the special institu.
tions-even when parents are willing
TO send their children TO them-are
too crowded to take them in.-From

birds Of the Nioht.

Have you ever stopped 10 consider
how many birds there are abroad az
ter nightfall? Writing in Suburban
Life 3. S. Bowdish the well-lknown
naturalist, describes many such birds.
THE screech-ow1," he says, is prob
ably the bestknown member OF the
owl family-the one most apt TO come
about barns and houses and even into
the villages. yet It's habits are not so
we'll known but that Il is n much
maligned bird It's food consists. I'm
a very large degree, OF rats and mice.
and II Is the quest OF such vermin
which brings It about human habita-
tons. where the pestiferous rodents
often swarm. True this little owl
sometimes takes small birds, but they
are frequently English sparrows. for
which he is entitled TO almost as
much credit as for his rat destruc-
ton. The ordinary note OF this
species is a long-drawn, tremulous
whistle, which can be initiated suf-
flciently well to call the owl TO close
quarters. II has, however, a varied
repertoire of notes that, heard in the
stiffness OF the night, are almost
blood-curdling II is an interesting
fact that this bird has two phases OF
plumage-red and gray-assumed
without regard to sex or age or the
color of parents"

HOME TESTING
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.

To decide the all important ques-
ton OF coffee, whether or not IL is
really the hidden cause of physical
ails and approaching fixed disease,
one should make a test OF 10 days by
leaving of coffee entirely and using
well-made Postum.
II relief follows you may know to
a certainty that coffee has been your
vicious enemy. OF course you can
take IL back TO your heart again, IL
you like to keep sick.
A lady says: II had suffered with
stomach trouble, nervousness and
terrible sick headaches ever since
was q little child, for my people were
always great coffee drinkers and let
us children have all we wanted
got so l thought l could not live
without coffee, but I would not ac-
knowledge that II caused my suffer
ing.
Then / read so many articles
about Postum that / decided to give
II fair trial. l had not used II two
weeks IN place OF coffee until began
TO feel like a different person. The
headaches and nervousness disap-
peared, and whereas I used 10 be sick
two or three days out Of a week while
drinking coffee am now well and
strong and sturdy seven days a week,
thanks TO Postum.
81 had been using Postum three
months and had never been sick a
day when / thought would expert
ment and see II II really was coffee
that caused the trouble, so began TO
drink coffee again, and inside of a
week had a sick spell. l was so III
/ was soon convinced that coffee was
the cause OF all my misery, and
went back TO Postum, with the result
that was soon well and strong again
