His trial is set for the April term of the
federal court at Laredo
Confirmed by State Department

The State Department is in receipt of a
dispatch from Consul Garrett at Nuevo
Laredo confirming the report of the sur
render. Christmas day. of Gen. Reyes
near Linares, Mexico.
Consul General Hanna informs the de-
partment by telegraph that Cen Trevino
teephoned yesterday that Gen. Reyes was
then prisoner at Iinares.
Test for Madero Government.
The treatment to be accorded Gen.
Reyes ROW that he has surrendered. Is
expected TO prove a conclusive test Of the
stability of the Madero government
Consequently the officials of the State
Department are awaiting the result of his
trial with the keenest interest.
nder the Mexican military code the
punishment prescribed for rebellion is
death, but the officials here are loath to
believe that any such sentence will be
executed 1t is believed that the military
commission which will try Gen Reyes on
charge of sedition viii convict him.
Indeed such a verdict seems inevitable.
the prisoner himself will probably
plead guilty in the face of the overwhelm
ng proof OF his attempt at rebellion. AS
the code also prescribes the punishment
for the offense, as is the case with our
own military code. there will be nothing
for the commission to do but to impose
the sentence of death. though. doubtless.
that will be accompanied by a recon-
mendation for clemency.
President Madero himself is the only
agency who can exercise the pardoning
power in a case of this kind. By his &C
ton in the case of Gen. Reyes will be
demonstrated the degree Of confidence he
feels in his own ability to maintain
true republican form of government in
Mexico.

A Dickinson Mule Story.

Jacob NJ. Dickinson of Tennessee, ex-
Secretary of War. has found a mule story
applicable to the efforts of the democrats
to put the President In hole as to the
Sherwood pension bill. This story, which
Mr. Dickinson credits to another Ten
nesseean. is as follows:
"A well was left open and an old mule
by teh name of Pete fell into it, They
tried to get him out with a block and
tackle. but his head would strike on one
side and his rear on the other. and they
had to abandon this plan. They then
concluded that the ywould shoot him,
but the well was SO dark they could not
see how to shoot him. Inasmuch as he
was a good and faithful mule. they de-
termined to entomb him and all hands
gathered TO shovel dirt to bury ePte
They shoveled with charity good will
and when they thought the hole was
about filled up out came ePte walking on
top Of the dirt and landed on terra firma,
with a most reassuring SMILE

 SUMMER BOOM

At least not for many years has the Young Mems Christian Association seen such continued, active life in the summer season. This is due to two reasons. The first is that the sea son just closed was one of the most successful and the life has carried over into the summer season. The second reason is that the secretaries have confidently believed that a wise adaptation of the association ac- tivities to this hot weather would make the association as attractive as in tie winter. The introduction of baseball, tennis courts. athletics, camps and all kinds of excursions and summer outings have proven the point. Now definite program including all departments has been planned for the entire summer season
 Monday nights there will always be social stunt, unique and fully in ac- cord with tn spirit of summer.
 Tuesday nights will be volley ball nights in the gymnasium, which is one of the coolest places in town, and af- terwards swimming stunts in .the pool. Tuesday might in the social rooms is also checker and chess night. There is a remarkable revival of interest in that splendid game, chess.
 Thursday nights George M Mac Donald leads discussion or debate in the parlors on some vital question which may be uppermost in mems minds. The Trusts, industrial con- ditions, profit-sharing, and such ques- tions are chosen. These discussions are at all times interesting and help full and occasionally spirited and ex- citing.
 Friday nights the gymnasium will be devoted to indoor baseball, follow ed by swimming and swimming les sons for those who desire to learn. MT. Brock, physical director, is an ex- pert swimmer.
 Saturday nights the bowling alleys win be open for duck pins, and there will be continual surprises sprung, in cluding a weekly bargain night" Unfortunately ladies will not be ad- mitted to the bargain counter.
 The association officers are bent on making this record summer as last season in many ways is a record win ter for the local association.
