THE PUBLIC WILL
 BE PROTECTED
Bridge Commissioners Will Bear the Expense of Preliminary Bridge
 PIans-Mr. Alexander's Reply.

Editor Graphic:- Collier let ter in the Graphic this morning was read with much interest. Many of his points are we'll taken. I am just as much opposed to unnecessary taxa tion as he, and I am not in favor Of putting the county to any expense until the people are heard from. The petition of each land owner will be carefully tabulated for and against the bridge, and I assure you that if a majority of the property owners are against it the bridge will not be built. At a called meeting of the commits sion this morning this was discussed and every member of the commission agrees with me and expressed them selves as not being willing to spend more than $500.00 to $1,OOO.0O before the people are heard from, and this $5o0.00 or $1,0Oo.00 comes out of the commissioners pockets for which they will not receive one cent unless the bridge is built
 The commission must have the con- fidence of the people in order to &C., complish anything.
 Yours respectfully,
 s. c. ALEXANDER.

 Fl Paso, Texas, May 6.-After two weeks rest the Federal and Insurrec. to armies are again facing each other as enemies. The armistice expired at noon today. At 1 o'clock Madero's troops began to move down towards Juarez. The Federals made prepare tions to receive them and Colonel M. Temporal, commanding, declared that he would hold the town.
 'The Rebels; are afaid to fight,' h0 stated. The two armies are exactly in the same position they occupied when Madero declared the armistice.
 If there were any doubt about the armistice being off, following Made ro's refusal to extend the armistice, this was dispelled at o'clock when message from Federal Commission CT Carbajal was delivered to Madero's camp, addressed to Dr, Gomez, chair man of the Tnsurrecto commissioners, declaring that he could not further continue peace negotiations on the basis proposed by Dr. Gomez on Thursday, when Gomez made de- mand that piaz set date for bis reg signation. ~ Madero, his family and all lieuten- ants at once went into a council pf war and declared the fighting would go on. Madero said he would not cease again until the Federal govern ment showed "a desire to d;acuss fully all demands and in good faith. There are no indications tonight of an attack on Juarez at an early hour. During the day Judge Carbajal receiv- ed a lengthy code message from Min ister Limantour. Carbajal announc- ed that he had not yet had a full re- ply from the president regarding the request for his retirement and sug- gested a further armistice. Oscar
 Baniff, a Federal go-between, also received telegram from Limantour. but nothing from Diaz.
 l Just before noon Madero wired to Mexico City demanding an explana-
 tion of the violation of the provis- ions of the armistice' in the Federal attack on Ojiniga. No reply was. re- ceived from Madero and he is said to have declared he would give the Fed ] erals no other chance to violate an armistice.

The report that Lloyd Knox, for mer Pine Bluffian now residing in Buena Vista, Fla, had been serious ly injured in boat accident at his hone in Florida, was unfounded. MT.

The reported cir culated by an afternoon paper that Mr. Knox Is under the treatment for injuries sustained in a boat accident was denied by thpse who were famil- far with the circumstances of the case.
 The report grew out of the drown ing of a MT. Randall, an Englishman residing in Florida, and a personal friend of Frank Worrdll, of this city, while bathing in the ocean. MT. Knox was member of the party, which was a Sunday school picnic. He was in bathing with a number of young lad ies and gentlemen.

THE LAND OF MEMORY

Editor of the Graphic:
 I wish to express my hearty en- dorkement of the movement initiated
 by Alderman Wolf and given vogue by Mfr. V. 0. Alexander having for it's object the establishment of highway to Bellwood cemetery.
 The city of the living is entitled to the privilege of easy and esthetfc access to the City of the Dead. This Is the only kind of communion we have with our departed beloved on earth and the solace found therein, ought not to be marred by physical impediments, such as muddy or sandy streets, bad crossings and neglected footpaths.
 While I do nlot approve of that ex- cess lof mourning which expresses it. self in too much frequenting of the burial place and makes a fetish of the dead, savoring as it does to me of Chinese ancestor worship, do never thelessi believe that an occasional visit to- the resting place of one to whom We are knit by the chords of affection that trancends the separa- tion of death is a sweet and holy act tending to turn the thoughts of the surviVor to the serious aspects of ex- istence all too little attended to in the mad menia for plea:ure that has taken possession of so many of us, tending likewise to fix the emotions on the obligations assumed openly or tactly in consequences of the relations we sustained to the life now closed and to quicken within us the will to emulate. the dead in all virtues and graces. No material difficulties ought to stand in the way of Legitimate amount of spiritual converse for rmch ends.
 The findings of science have done nothing to render our conviction of the immortality of the soul untenable. This IS territory frankly acknow- ledged by science itself as being out side the domains of its investigator.
