WAR AGAINST LIBERALS
Effectively Preparing for Outbreaks in
Northern Cities.

Juarez, MY, Sept. 1.-THE Mexi-
can government is evidently prepar-
ing against an outbreak of liberals in
the northern states of the republic on
September 10th. 1t is learned here in
military circles that the entire fifth
battalion, now stationed in Torreon,
will be brought to this city early this
week, presumably upon the arrival of
the 1000 federal troops expected in
the city from Mexico City.
The fifth battalion will be stationed
here indefinitely, at least until after
the election.

City council met in regular semi
monthly session last night with the
full board present and considerable
| business of a routine nature was dis
posed OF. Under the head of petitions
and communications the following
business was handled.
Invitations were received by the city
to send delegates to the meeting of
the League of Municipalities to be held
in Chicago and also to the meeting

is to be held in Atlanta. The invi-

Solomon Walberg, through his at
torney, petitioned council to reimburse
him for the death Of his horse, which
was caused by the animal falling
through a bridge, breaking leg, the
horse later being shot. The matter
was referred to the city attorney.
long communication was re-
ceived from the Southern Bell Tele-
phone company, attached to which
was a bill amounting to $174.57 against
the city for damage done to the un-
derground wires of the company bv
the city in repairing sewers, etc. The
matter has been pending for some
time and it was finally refererd to
the public works committee with pow
er to act
The hnance committee reported ad-
Versely on the petition of the local
canton for an appropriation to assist
in defraying the expenses of the com
pahy on its trip to Indianapolis. Ind.
this week. The report Of the, com
mittee brought about considerable
discussion. Alderman McKinnon, who
is chairman of the finance commit
tee, made a short talk stating that.
while he would like to assist the can
ton on their trip that just at this
time it was impossible to make any
appropriation on account of the inan-
cial condition of the city. Alderman
Hopkins thought the city ought to
assist the company as the trip will
mean big advertisement for the city.
Mayor Butts took a like view and
made short talk in favor of an ap.
preparation. Alderman Leo said, while
he believed the trip would be an ad-
vertisement to the city, still he did
not think the city should appropriate
money for any organization.
The motion to adopt the report of
the committee was then called for ac-
tion and the aye and nay vote was
called for the report of the commit
tee being adopted on the following
vote, which means that the appropri-
alton viii not be made: Ayes, Alder
men Calnan, McKinnon, Leo, Mitchell
son and Cook; nays, Alderman Lud-
wig, Hopkins and Boyle.
Treasurer Fain submitted his state
ments for the months of June and
July, which were ordered published
and filed. Chief Owens also sent in
his report for the past month, show
ing a total collection in his office of
1858.
Three resolutions were introduced
and passed, authorizing the mayor
to borrow money to meet notes fall
ing due shortly. In all the amount
aggregates $12,50O.

MACHINIsTs INTERNATIONAL AS
socIATIoN is TO DECIDE
THE MATTER.
Vice President coulOn Would Express
No Opinion, But Report Says Le-
cision Will Be unfavorable to a
Strike.

Chicago, Sept. live are going
to let the Illinois Central railroad shop
employees know before the day is over
what the machinists will do with re-
lation to the proposed strike" de-
clared p. j. Conlon, first vice pres
dent of the International Association
of Machinests today
4 expect a message from our in
ternational executive board which
went into session this morning at
Davenport We are not going to fool
with this matter any longer. The
board will decide whether the machin-
lists are to sanction this strike or not
sanction it.
AS soon as definite action is take
will be notified and l will at once
communicate with the members of the
International committee representing
the nine trades"
Vice President Conlon would ex-
press no conviction as to what the
action of the machinists' executive
board would be, but the persistent re-
port is that it will be unfavorable
to the shop employees who are to
strike.
Members in Quandary.
Members of the Illinois Central
shop employees federation were in a
quandary today over their next move
in their dispute with the railroad
company
After the conference of executive
board members of the International
Association of Machinests in Chicago
yesterday where several of the Inter
national officers plainly declared they
did not favor a strike of the employees.
the board adjourned to meet in Da-
venport, Ia, today. The full exc
cutive board will further consider the
shopmen's position and final an
nouncement of the machinests posi-
ton will be made soon.
Should the machinists decide not
to endorse the strike, there is small
likelihood that j. F. McCleary, presi-
dent of the Illinois Central shopmen,
and his colleagues on the federation
committee would order the men out
because there would be little funds
to depend on for strike benefits.
The second vote of the unions on
the adyisability of striking or not
striking has not been completed.

Claims are Enormous.

The claims of German subjects, par
ticularly those OF Names Brothers
and speculative companies organized
by them are enormous.
The German terms also ask for a
free hand in Morocco, with conditions
that would. according to the French
view, deprive France of all her ad-
vantages, and would give Germany
privileges in Morocco beyond those of
any power, even France.
There seems no likelihood of the
French government accepting the
German counter proposals.
A temporary way out of the diff
Guilty may be that some other sigma
tory of the Algeciras act will ask
for another international conference.
May Take Favorable Action.
A SEMI official note issued today
says Minister DeSelyes has examined
the observations presented by the
German government in reply to the
French proposals, and that he proba-
bly, will take a favorable view of the
suggestions contained therein for es-
tablishing the economic equality of
the powers in Morocco, but that in
opposition to this international econ
omic equality are privileges desired
by Germany alone.
Other points, the note says, are
raised by the German response, which
opa ao1oIlV earipua
Negotiations between France and
Germany, the note says in conclusion
probably will be prolonged for some
time.
Although the tone of the Paris
bourse was heavy today, the solid
structure of French finance was little
affected by financial embarrassments
in Germany, for the reason that the
French buy securities for permanent
Investment and do not sell them be-
cause of fluctuations in quotations.
The worst effect in Moroccan un-
certainty is that French houses have
cancelled many buying orders in Ger
many, and the French banks refuse
to renew the German loans.
Credit likewise is cut off from Ber-
lin in London.

Woman Who Deals in Oil.

The names Of men who have made
fortunes since a sea Of oil was discovered
under California's crust is pretty widely
known, says the Sunset Magazine, but
only now and then does the public hear
OF Emma A. Summers, who for 20 years
has been a power in the Los Angeles oil
fields. She is to-day perhaps the largest
individual oil producer in the world.
Alone with her own money she pro-
duces thousand barrels day, and in
addition she buys enough oil to supply
contracts aggregating $2, 500, 900 year.
When oil was discovered in the vicin-
ity of Los Angeles, Mrs. Summers had
in the bank 500, earned by teaching
music. She put this and like amount
furnished by another into an oil well.
And il went in so deep she doubted ever
getting it out. With it went 81 800
more, for her credit was good.
Bad luck was followed by more bad
luck, and the climax came when casing
and tools went crashing to the bottom
of the WELL Only the man drilling the
hole was left on top. Day after day
Mrs. Summers stood in the hot sun by
that well. Night after night, by the
light Of fiaring torch, she hoyered
over it, as il it were sick babe's cradle
The prospect was dreary, but Mrs Sum-
mers had pluck and she knew there was
oil in the well and more than $1,000
worth OF hardware.
AT last the hardware came out OF the
hole, and then the oil, and Mrs. Sum
mers, encouraged, went on boring wells
until she found herself so, 900 in debt,
with only her music teachers fees to
pay the bills.
When | found myself $4,000 in
debt, says Mrs. Summers, | thought
If ever got that paid and as much more
in the bank ] would be glad to quit.
But when / got that much found that
interest on it would not pay the ex-
penses OF family OF seven, so | had to
keep on.
All told she has bored 155 wells. In
the old days she had room in her
home set aside for business; to-day she
has q suite of three offices in one OF the
biggest business blocks in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Emma Summers is a daughter
OF William McCutchen for many years
leading merchant Of Hickman and
niece OF Esq. Jimmerson Garrison and
Mrs. John Lane, formerly Mrs. Hollo-
man of Mason Hall, this county. While
teaching a. class in music at Mason Hall
she met and married Mr.. Summers, a
carpenter. They moved to Los Angeles
where he followed his trade and she con-
tinued to teach.

J. A. Whipple, of this city, has been
appointed back-tax attorney and revenue
commissioner for the counties OF Obion,
Gibson, Weakley, Carroll and Crockett.
Appointments have been made to cover
the entire State, in accordance with the
recent Legislative act providing for the
collection Of back taxes. The work
dates back for number of years, for
which no provisions had been made
until recently, and covers extensive de-
linquencies. Many taxpayers have re-
peatedly declined the payment until
large sums Of moneysare due the State,
and now, under the recent enactment,
these payments must be made in full
or the State will sell the property and
make a legal title to ih The fees there
fore will be very profitable to the at
torney and commissioner, and Mr..
Whibple has been very fortunate in
landing this appointment. The selec-
ton is a good one and the work will pro-
ceed at once.

Routes to Samburg.

DR.. F. NJ. McRee, w. L. White and
party went to samburg last week to ex.
anime the two routes leading from Un.
ion City to samburg, one by the way Of
Protemus and the other by the way Of
Clayton with a view Of arriving at the
best and most economical route to con-
struct. It will be remembered that the
Protemus route had been favored be-
cause the citizens along that road had
contributed literally, but the people Of
the other route have been asking that
they be given a chance to demonstrate
the advantages of that route and have
agreed to contribute. The committee
finds that the Clayton route is little
more than a mile farther from Samburg
than the Protemus route, but that the
lake can be reached over a more level
country, and hence road can be built
on that route at cost much less than
the Protemus route. The difference in
cost will he very large. The Protemus
route is 20 and eight-tenths miles from
Union City. The committee will take
some action in the matter after hearing
from the people along both routes and
finding out which is the easiest and best
proposition.
