scores OF conflicting rumors Of firing close
10 Juarez last night and reports that sew
eral hundred lnsurrectos. presumably part
Of the Maderista force recently stationed
near Chauna city. we're now at Bauche.
twelve miles south Of Juarez, appears one
concrete fact this morning. That is, there
IL no prospect OF battle around Juares,
for 2 day or two at least.
Colonel VI. Taboresl, commanding the fed
eral forces IN Juarez. denies the reports Of
firing last night in the vicinity OF Juarez.
Half dozen shots were fired by American
seutries near the FL Paso smelter about 3
o'clock this morning for unexplained
causes and these shots give rise to the
reports that the insurrectos were close to
Juarez and that A battle was imminent
Dispatches received this morning from
an Associated Press correspondent with
the lnsurrectos refer merely 10 the fiRht
east Of Juarez last Saturday. in which
oscar Creighton was killed. and say that
all the rebel force. headed by Francisco I.
Madero in person. are at Sappello. This
Is twenty-five miles south of Juarez.
| Rebels Have Four ThOuaand Men.
According to the correspondent. the en-
} tire commands OF Orozco and Blanco, num-
! bering about 5000 men, are in camp. while
another thousand lnsurrectos are watching
/ the Mexican National railroad to intercept
any requirements from Chihuahua for
Juarez.
The courier who brought the dispatches,
New Mexican. says there will be no
fighting until tomorrow or later. He came
from around the outskirts Of Juarez during
the night
! Captain Escuevado. according TO the
courier was killed with Captain Creighton
Saturday. Three federal prisoners are being
! held by the insurrectos.
Another confusing element was added TO
| the Juarez situation later this morning by
the admission by the federal officials in
Juarez that 500 insurrectos had reached
Baucne. thirteen miles from Juarez. They
compose part OF the forces under Madero
| Orozoo and Blanco.
But Juarez is now ready for the at
tack. Federal troops having completed the
Notifications and mines in the region OF
the city, have now returned to JuareE
and are digging trenches close to the heart
OF the city and within two blocks of the
American consulate.

$1,000 PER YEAR
IS QUITE ENOUGH
Man and Wife Can Get Along on This
Sum and Save About Half
of it.

An income Of $1,000 q year is
enough to support man and his
wife, and enable them to save $500,
according to Harlow N. Higginbotham
of Chicago who made fortune as a
partner of Marshall Field. This is
the way he figures it: "It costs
person for food just about "a cents a
costs no more to live today than it
did three or four years ago. Now,
365 days at the figure mentioned
gives us $3.50 for the cost of food
for one person for year. provided
one does not waste it, or throw it
away. A man and his wife do not
need q servant, and an apartment
quite large enough for two people and
with room to spare will cost say
S2400 a month. Then add light and
gas and believe two people could
live economically and save $500 a
year Here is what one woman did
on $500 a week: After series OF
years that woman had in the bank
$2,75.S1. and moreover had helped
her brother to the extent of $500. Thus
on an income of 1912 year. she had
saved s3,727.41. had maintf-~ed her
self and had been to the hospital
once and paid doctors bill start,
