nave seen the advance sheets to be a

indications, that the Capital would
probably drop its further efforts to
crush. or humiliate, the state Journal
by continued false statements, but it
will be noticed by every reader of the
Capital this morning and every reader

and still continues to make. the most
outrageous attacks upon this paper
with a view of injuring it's busin ess.

Topeka field.
The writer decided last week. as it
was noted in the early chapters of
"Reminiscences" now seemingly run

could afford no longer to permit Mr..
Capper, his rubber stamp and his
assistant Mr.. Mark O'Marra, to
continue further to slander and under

YUCATAN INDIANS
 ON THE WAR PATH

New Orleans, June 15.-The Picayune this morning prints the following from Merida, Yucatan, under date of June 10:
 The new revolutionary government Of Mexico has a revolution on it's hands. The Indians in Yucatan are on the war path. Francisco T. Madero armed the In- dians so that they could fight the Diaz government, but when the Diaz govern ment went down and out the Indians re- fused to quit fighting. They are armed with the latest modern rifles and have an abundance of ammunition.
 About month before the peace pact was signed at Juarez the Madero junta at New Orleans shipped a large quantity of arms and ammunition from Biloxi, Miss, to Yucatan for the purpose of start ing trouble for Diaz. They started 1t all right, but now they cannot stop it. After they were amed the Indians took to the woods and commenced bushwhacking tactics and they are still at it. Every attempt to induce them to cease fight ing has failed. The Indians declare thar all Mexicans look alike to them, and that they propose to drive the Mexicans out of Yucatan. Many of the armed Indians have crossed the border and it Is expected that they will cause the Gautemalian gov ernment serious trouble

FOREIGN WHEAT
 CROPS ENORMOUS

Washington, June 15-A bumper har- vest crop of wheat in British India, esti- mated at 369, 100000 bushels. surpassing all previous years, and a record area sown to spring wheat in western Canada where 90 per cent of the dominion wheat is grown, giving rise to seemingly extrava- gant estimates of probable yields are the features of the worlds review of agricul- tural news, announced by the department Of agriculture today. In other respects foreign agriculture in general made aver age seasonable progress.
 Tn Argentine, the great wheat and flax seed exporter of the southern hemisphere, the autumn sown crops have entered their first month of trans-equatorial winter in vigorous condition and on probably large ly increased areas. The recently gathered corn crop there turned out badly and lit- tie or no surplus will be available for export.
 The corn crop of South Africa also Is reported damaged by drouth and there practically will be none for export.
