Coming April 6.

When we come to consider features which have contributed to the remarkable history of great amusement enterprises, we cannot possibly overlook the Sells. Floto circus and it's management.
 For years this remarkable in. stitution has had one of the most uphill and drastic fights ever visit. ed upon any aggregation endeav- bring to gain a foothold. But. last season they commenced campaign which took for its text the doctrine of popular prices, and although most of the old time circus people voiced their opinion that they could not possibly succeed, it is now admitted that they came home at the close of the regular season with more money in their treasury than any other attraction in the same line of business.
 People demand popular prices today, said MT. Roddy, who is here representing the proprietors ot the big show. We are living Tn an era when the average man or woman can weigh the value of what Is offered to them almost AS well as those who are most intimate " connected with the business, and 1t was simply a proposition with our people to give them what they wanted. We tried the ex.

Insurrectos Take AIgodones.

Algodones, the Mexican custom station where the supplies for the sporkers on the Colorado river levee sre passed, was attacked Monday nigbt. taken and burned. Customs Collector Tomas Melendez, was shot in the leg while trying to reach his guns, and his assistant, 1esus Garza, was killed. Meiendez, fortunately for him, fell across the American line and was picked up by the American troops there stationed to enforce neutrality, and, later, was brought to Yuma for treatment and care. The morn- ing after the battle a bunch of Masons of Yuma went down and have Garza Masonic burial.
 The plans of the fight, if fight it may be called, went so smoothly That it seemed to have been re- hearsed time and time again. The insurrectos captured train on the Inter. California line near Packard, a station near Mexicali, and made the crew take them up the road. Just before reaching Algodones they had the headlight on the engine darkened and at small siding where the work trains leave the main line for the govern ment works on the river they met two rock trains and these they side tracked and in very polite, but firm language instructed them to stay where they were until they, the insurrectos, came back. The passenger train then pulled out headed for Algodones, with a party of armed men on the cowcatcher and the rest of the armed troop inside. Arriving at the line the train stopped as usual and the insurrectos disembarked on the wrong side and swarmed around the engine to meet the Mexican officials. These latter were taken completely by surprise and were unarmed, but instead of surrendering when commanded to do so two of them made break for their rifle pits, and a volley followed each of them with the result above stated. The other of fcials were captured and taken with the insurrectos when they returned to Mexicali.-Yuma En- terprise.

GRIM TRAGEDIES OF OCEAN
Many Vessels Abandoned at Sea That
Are Constant Menace to
Navigation.

There Is grimness about the brief
news dispatch which states that the
derelict destroyer Seneca, of the Uni
ted States revenue cutter service
weighed anchor and steamed out OF
New York harbor to search for dere-
licts OF the seven-day storm which
ended recently. Vessels that have been
abandoned at sea. unless deliberately
destroyed, continue to be a menace to
shipping for long period following
their abandonment. For many years
1t was customary for sea captains, on
coming into port. to report such dere.
licts as they had observed during a
voyage, and the government published
charts in which the position of the re-
ported derelicts was shown, in order
that sailing masters might be on their
guard against collision with them.
There was at one time some talk OF in.
ternattonal cooperation In the task OF
clearing the sea of these floating
ships. but nothing came of it, and the
United States government finally
took the matter up on its own account.
being for long time the only govern
ment which did so. and presumably it
occupies that position to this day. The
vessels designated as derelict destroy
ers are specially fitted out with dyna.
mite and other means of destroying
and sinking the floating menaces to
navigation. and the significance OF the
departure Of the Seneca lies in the
fact that the storm of last week is
supposed to have caused many wrecks
off Hatteras and along the coast OF
the Carolinas.

THE HOUSEHOLD
HOW TO MAKE PIGS
FEET A DELlCACY

There are many persons whom a
dish of pigs feet is a great delicacy.
To ensure the latter quality it is well
to ask the dealer to have them well
cleaned and not picked unless you are
fond of the sharply acid flavor usual
in those sold as such Then after you
have left this part of the process To
your dealer, just imagine that it has
not been done at all, and look them
over very carefully. and cut them apart
so you can remove every hair and
trace of dark skin or anything else
that you may find that does not look
inviting.
When they are literally clean, cover
them with cold water and let them
cook until they fall apart and every
tiny bone is free from gristle. Then
skim them out into a pan and proceed
to remove all the bones, some of which
are so small and white and like fleshly
parts. that is requires careful eyesight
and then sense of touch to discover
them.
When well picked over, season with
salt. pepper and vinegar and If you
like, very slightly with the stock in
which it has been cooked. for this will
become a firm jelly when cold and hold
the mass well together.

and yet juicy and delicate.

deer RAISING
FOR CHEAP FOOD
1T is SAID VENISON WOULD RI
VAL MUTTON AND SOON
COMPETE WITH OTHER
MEATS.

The department Of agriculture is an
xious to do all 1t can to encourage deer
raising in the United States. Experts
of the department say deer would then
rival mutton in price and i'm time veni-
son would be as cheap as any other
meat products.
The whole question is set forth in
bulletin of the department written by
David Lantz, one of the department
specialists. He says that there is an
abundance of waste land, unsuitable
for general farming or stock raising
in majority of the states where rails

prospects of good results.

purposes now restricted to the horse

Referring to the practical use of deei

a decided demand in the southern
states for a meat animal smaller thar
