EXPECT PEACE IN
MEXICO WITHIN
TWO DAYS
General ArmistiCe viii Be De-
Clared at Once
PRESIDENT DlAZ TO RESIGN
viii Cease to Be Head Of Government
Some Time During Next Three
Months.

Juarez, May 17.-Peace seems al
most an accomplished fact to those
who are negotiating settlement of
the Mexican rebellion.
Judge Carbajal, the federal envoy,
has announced that, barring the unfor-
seen, a general armistice will be de-
clared within twenty-four hours. Pro
visional President Madero has declar-
ed that mutually acceptable proposit-
ions have at last been reached and
peace is assured.
The formal signing of peace agree
ment will probably take place here
within the next two days, President
Dia2 probably will resign within two
or three months; at any rate, when
peace shall be restored.
Two principal questions have all
but heen agreed upon, namely, the
number of cabinet members and gov
errors to be allowed the insurrectos,
and the other conditions have for
some time been tacitly determined by
both sides. Now, 1t will be merely a
matter of technical detail to draft the
peace terms formally and to arrange
a modus operandi for the discharge
of their provisions.

Committee Hearings Drawing to
Close-No Chance for Free List.

Washington, May 17.-Members of
the Finance Committee are Of the OPP
inion that the hearings on the Cana
dian reciprocity measure may be con-
cluded within the next few days. and
that the bill may read the floor of the
Senate before the end of the week.
The report from the committee will be
without recommendation and on that
basis it is possible that 1t will be UNI
animous This course will leave the
committee members free to follow
their own wishes in the fight that
will develop in the open Senate.
A week more after that may be re-
quired to dispose of the popular cleo
ton of Senators resolution before tar
if matters can be taken up. Then
while the debate drags on in the SEN
ate the Finance Committee will give
extended hearings on the Farmers
Free List bill. These hearings, it is
admitted will be a perfunctory sort, as
there is no intention on the part of
the committee 10 permit the measure
ever to leave the committee pigeon
holes.

FAVOR NATURAL ASPHALT
For Permanent Road to Be Built on
Main Street.

1t Is now practically assured that

phalt road. They examined five diff
ferent kinds beside the natural, or
lake. asphalt In the opinion of the
party, the lake asphalt, which cost
only three cents gallon more than
the artificial, is by far the best
The party also inspected road con-
structed of "Sheet" asphalt, which is
made of the lake asphalt mixed with
sand. This material gives a smooth,
hard surface somewhat resembling
flag stones and was found to be very
practical. It's cost, however, is con-
siderably more.
Although favoring the material
known as "Bermudez" asphalt which
is manufactured in Cambridge, Mass,
the party is going into this matter
thoroughly and will leave soon to in
spect some roads in the vicinity of
Pittsfeld which are constructed OF
other materials.

Oklahoma Cattle the Best.

Oklahoma produces the best beef
cattle in the west. This statement is
pretty broad, but we have the evidence,
if it is demanded, in the fact that a
carload of Oklahoma beeves took the
first premium at the National Feeders
and Breeders Show at Fort Worth last
March, against some of the best steers
in the west. f. b. Johnson, noted
feeder in this state, won this honor
for Oklahoma and much money for
himself. We are told that a number
of Texas cattle feeders are doing their
best to win at the great Fort Worth
show, March 13 to IS, next but we
have confidence in the superiority of
Oklahoma cattle and the skill of our
feeders, and are sure they are going
to keep the position at the head that
they have already won.

DANNLLE ATTORNEY ADMITS
He BOUGHT MANY VOTES

Danville, Ill, Jan. 21.-City Attor-

ing votes in the last election and will
go before the grand jury and tell all.
Jones, who managed the campaign
for Sheriff John Shepard confessed
to the part he had taken in vote buy
ing, both in the primary and general
election. Sheriff Shepard admits buy
ing votes, but says he will not go be-
fore the grand jury and confess, as it
would be impossible to secure a jury to
convict any man who bought votes
The confession of Jones made after a
conference with friends who told him
it was best. Jones said he bought
many votes for Shepard and had kept
a memorandum of the names of the
men he bought and the amounts paid
each, but few days ago he destroyed
it. The confession created sensation
1t is expected others will follow from
men who hope to receive immunity.

For the government, United States

V|N|TA MAY HAVE
CLEARING HOUSE
Movement Started Among the Bankers
Of City to Establish Place For
Clearing Checks.

If the movement started among the
local banks gains sufficient headway
Vinita will have clearing house in
the near future
The banks of Vinita have long
sought some way of getting around the
old way of each bank having to go to
the other to clear the checks each day,
and the idea of establishing a clearing
house is thought to be a good way out
of it. While this method of clearing
is used in all of the large cities and
many of the smaller ones, it's advisa-
bility in a town of Vinitas size is
questioned However the clearings of
the five banks here total goodly sum
each day, and it is probable such an
Institution will be established at once.
II the plan is adopted some one of
the banks will probably be chosen, at
which representatives of the other
banks will meet each day and exchange
checks.
The establishment of such a clear
ing house would not only be a time
saver for the banks, but would be a
splendid advertisement for the town.
rhe fact that Vinita had a clearing
house would give this city better rec
ignition in financial circles.
