Mrs. Lyman Frederlek Abbott

Mrs. Abbott passed away from
earth and entered the better life on
Sunday evening, after an illness OF
many months. She was grand
daughter of Buckley Squires, a well
remembered resident of Bennington,
whose descendants have achieved dis
tinction in many paths of life, and a
daughter of Frederick Algernon Han
cock, who died eight years ago at
the age of SO. Mr. Hancock was a
native of Hanley, Staffordshire, Eng
land, and came to this country with
his parents while yet child. He
was for many years we'll known res
ident of our village.
Mrs Abbott filled an important
place in Bennington life. She was for
many years an active member of the
Village Improvement society and
much of the excellent work of that
society may be justly credited to her
influence and initiative. She was a
member OF the Daughters of the Am
erican Revolution and devoted com
municant of St Peters Episcopal
church These various activities are

wide range of her sympathies. Her
personal benefactions were only lin.
tied by the necessities of her bene6c-
iaries, for her kindness and gener-
osity were inexhaustible. The eX-
tent of her charities-using the word
in its broad meaning-must forever
remain to us unknown, for there was
in her an entire absence of that os-
tentation which seeks applause or
even recognition for kndnesses be-
slowed 1t is probable that few peo-
pie attain to the same degree of un-
selfishness which also beautified her
character, for she possessed this vir-
tue in a degree remarkable even
among the gentlest of her own sex
There is no attempt made here TO
enumerate her virtues; fortunately
they are inscribed more enduringly
upon higher record, but many will
miss the loving heart and the gentle
hand that for many years minlstered
to their needs

Guiltinan, referee in bankruptcy in
the Office of Bennett and Graves Mon
day afternoon, Jacob Seigal was
sworn in succeeding his brother, Lou
is, who had just testified to the loss
OF $4,000 gambling in New York City.
Jacob testified to even less pro-
iiciency in the game OF poker than
did his brother. He testified that he
had saved up the receipts of his bus
mess done on clothing cart between
the months OF January and May, 1911,
turning over to the firm but a small
portion of the money. He further
testified that his money amounted to
$4,000 thus saved. He stated in adj
dition that he went to New York
with the sum of money in his pocket
where he was accustomed to carry
II. that his brother was In ignorance
OF his possession of such sum, and
that he lost it playing poker. He
said further that he had brought with
him $4,000 worth of furs and that he
sold them to a man whose name he
didn't remember, for $4,000 on his say
ing that the price of furs had gone
down
He testified that he changed from
poker TO stud poker when he found
he was losing all the time. When
asked concerning the meaning OF GER
tain stud poker terms, he professed
ignorance.
The sums testified to by the Seigal
Brothers as having been lost at gam
bling thus amounts TO $4,000 Henry
Bronner of Syracuse, one OF the heav-
lest of the losers through the bank
ruptcy conducted the examination.

Protest Against Election.
The recent rioting, however has
caused partisans of Lie. Jorge Vera
Estanol and the Evolutionist party to
chortle with glee. The party has al
eminent against holding an election in
October, on the ground of irregulari
ties and also because as the leaders
allege, the country is not sufficiently
brought about by the revolution to
hold peaceful election and to insure
q free and untrammeled use Of the
ballot throughout the republic
Foreigners Regret 1t.
Among the foreigners IN the capital

thinking Mexicans. the incident Of
Sunday Is regretted because OF the fact

tact and diplomacy who has put aside

for the pacification of the country so
that the elections might be peaceful
and fair in every sense of the word.

III impartial, generally accepted as
the capitals best newspaper in Span

spite the fact that 1T is still unpopular
on account Of it's government connsc-
tons during the Diaz regime, has been
advocating strongly through its ediso-
rial columns a combination of men,
rather than a combination of policies"

Gen Reyes and Francisco L. Madero
should get together and handle the
situation and proposes that only one
man be allowed to go before the people
as candidate for president thus pre-
venting any real contest at the polls,

a hard fought election will produce
in the republic.
The Defent of Gomez
Most OF the Madero leaders are jul
btlant over the defeat OF DR.. Francisco
Vazquez Gomez for the vice presiden-
cy In the Progressive party conven-
ton and the naming of Jose Maria
Pine Suarez as the running mate Of
Madero.
Their only real fear was that dele
gates would come with ironciad in
structions to such a number that It
would be impossible to defeat Dr.. Vaz-
quez Gomez in the convention Open
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-09-09

charges were made on the convention
floor that some Of the members OF the
famous Madero COMMITTEES which organ
lied the new Progressive party had
gone so far as to send out kilograms
TO clubs not to send delegates In
structed for any one but Pine Saurez.
And the admission was even made that
such kilograms were sent but that the
committeeman had acted in a private
capacity and not as committeeman In
suggesting that the man from Yucatan
was the candidate to select.
News moves more slowly In the re-
public OF Mexico than 1t does in the
United States and many Madero sup
porters in the distant parts Of the re-
rel whieh was widening the gap be-
tween Madero and the man who was
his candidate for vice president during
the campaign when opposition was
made to the Diaz-Corral ticket Fer
this reason many OF the more distant
clubs thought it was plain case OF en-
dorsing the old ticket and letting 1t go
at that 1t was for this reason that on
the first ballot for vice president DR..
vazquez Gomez got ful1 third OF tss
votes cast, but he did not have the
workers in the convention which Pine
6uarez had, and when Robes Domin-
guez and Iglesias Calderon, respect
lively, were dropped by the elimination
system, 1t was Pine Suarez who got
the votes.
Dr. vazquez Gomez, unfortunately for
HIS chances for the nomination. was
placed IN position where 1t was i'm
possible for him to play good politics.
His brother, Lie. Emelio Vas
thrown out of president de
la Barra,s cabinet with the approval of
Madero. and the least that he could
do was to enter his protest to Madero
against such action Then when the
trouble between Madero and the Cen
tro anti-reelectionists arose, the anti
reelectionfsts named him president OF
the club and Of the party. Feeling
that he was perhaps out with Madero
himself and knowing that Gustavo
Madero and others of the committee
favored Pine Suarez, he accepted the
honors which the anti-reelectionists
thrust upon him ard in doing so be-
came the head OF party which had
openly ronounced allegiance to the
chief of the revolution It was
only the peculiar circumstances of
the case that allowed him to make the
showing before the convention which
he was able to do.
Changes Yucntnn Situation.
Madero, on his trip to Yucatan. will
have an opportunity to consult person
ally with his candidate for the vice
presidency and to talk over the politi-
cal situation in the peninsula with hin.
The naming Of Pine Suarez as a can
dtdate for the vice presidency makes
a striking change in the political stu
alton IN Yucatan- Pine Suarez has

where farming is reduced to a science,
and where man reaps the reward or

the benefits Of his own energy and IN

Irrigation is Assured.
Irrigation in this valley is no hit or
miss affair. A farmer 1nstals pump
ing plant properly, and he has thus ac-
quired a cheap, effective. absolutely
reliable. and completely independent
water right No ditch boss tells him
when he may begin or how long he

pays a definite amount (about one-half
a cent? for every 1000 gallons of wa

badly, he does not start his engine.
When he does want 1t, his engine
stands as a powerful servant willing to
do the bidding of its master.
The peculiar conditions existing in
the Mirnbres valley have made 1t ex-
tremely attractive to the man in
search for e home. The dryness and
purity of the atmosphere, the Ideal al
tttude, the delightfully."- equable temper
AZURE. the cloudlessness of the skies,
the absolute purity of the water, the
scenic beauty of the mountain ranges
surrounding the valley, the accessible
ity of hunting and fishing grounds all
combine to furnish the man who is
really in search of a home and an IN
dependence an ideal place to plant HIM
The irrigable area Of the Mimbres
valley is probably limited TO $4,000
acres. It has been demonstrated over
and over again that 10 acres properly
fargned will support family. So here
is a valley that is destined TO relieve
to the measure Of this area the con-
gestion Of the cities. Here are the po-
tenttal homes for thousands merely
