BORDER Town TAKEN
100 MEXICAN BANDITS SEIZE
MEXlCALLI NEAR UNITED
STATES BOUNDARY.
FORCES LED BY AMERICAN
Governor and Officials Are Arrested,
Jailer Killed, and Prisoners Given
Their Freedom-Commander OF
Band Is California Socialist.

Calexico, Cal.-The town OF Mexl-
ralli. in lower California, Mexico, just
across the California border, was cap
tured early Sunday by a band of 100
armed revolutionists, led by Cali
fornia Socialist.
They appeared at the house of Gov
ernor Terrazas, sub-prefect Of this dis
trict, and placed him under arrest.
Proceeding in an orderly manner to
the customs house, they demanded
the surrender of the governments Of
ficials. Here the revolutionists met
demurrers, but when a window was
broken in and the chief Of the Gus
toms corps was dragged out, they
laid down their Winchesters and sur
rendered. All federal officials were
placed under guard as the main party
proceeded.
The revolutionists then went to the
Jail and demanded the keys of Ja1ler
Jose Villasenor. He refused them
and was shot dead with a bullet
through his head The lock on the
Jail door was then broken off and the
inmates found within we're all freed,
including two revolutionists who had
been arrested two days previously.
These joined the forces Of the insur-
rectos, with cries of "Vive Mexico. "
The leading stores were visited and
the proprietors informed that no loot
ing would be allowed and that as
long as their demands were com
piled with there would be no rioting
or killing.
General Bertholdt said:
"This is a geenral movement that
is taking place all over Mexico. We
are a portion Of the Mexican Liberal
party, which is the same as the So
cialist party in the United States. We
aim to make Mexico free from the
tyranny of Diaz and all the present
intolerable officials. We are operat-
ing without riot, bloodshed or de-
bauchery. We have ordered all sa-
looms closed and will allow no ill
treatment Of women or children and
American citizens will be treated with
respect.
eve have two hundred armed men
in this vicinity and are prepared to
fight to a finish to hold the ground
we have gained. The plans are for
the overthrowing of the government
and placing the common people on a
footing with the higher classes"
Mexican government officials de-
clare the uprising merely incidental
and that as soon as the revolutionists
have all the whisky and loot in the
places of business they will disappear.
There will be, however, every effort
made to catch the whole party and
deal with them under the law

RARERIT UNDER THE GLASS.

The Welsh rarebit is creature ma
1arial of complexion, fibrous and com
pick as to cellular construction,
threatening of flavor and fearful as to
portent It is sponsor to whole
company of digestive discomforts and
mother to the nightmare. This is the
popular opinion, but, like many an
other popular view, 1t is fallaclous'
says the Toledo Blade. Not that we
say so. No, indeed. But Naturalist
James Wilson, secretary of the de-
partment of agriculture, is about to put
out monograph upon the genus rare
bitidea and each and every species
thereof is to have the very cleanest
bill of health possible under the pure
food law. It is declared in Washing
ton that a special poison squad has
been delivered over to the terrors OF
the rarebit. It has passed through
the ordeal smiling. Not a man was
wounded. Not one lay down his life.
If there were nightmares, they were
bitted and saddled and now nose
about the poison squads pockets for
Jumps Of sugar. The whole system of
preconceived ideas as to the history
and habits of the rarebit, whether of
domestic or jungle-breedtng, has been
exploded

Mississippi Valley train in which A.

Spain contemplates entering upon a
scheme of great public improvements,
with view to providing employment
and thus keeping at home many who
otherwise would emigrate to countries
where work is more readily found.
The plan also contemplates the crea-
ton of facilities that would promote
industrial and agricultural develop
ment, big irrigation plants and the
construction of railway lines being
part of the scheme. All this will be
costly, but Spain has large resources
which may be utilized in the manner
indicated, and the new system may
have beneficial effects. At all events
the movement indicates that there is
progressiveness and public spirit
among the statesmen of Spain.

The report of the fire loss for the
United States and Canada during No
vember is not as encouraging as 1t
might be. The total for the month
was s16,4070 900, against $14S808,000 in
1909 and S15,834,OO0 in 1908. The ag-
gregate for the IL months ended with
November was $212, $4,000 in 1910,
$183, 673, 900 in 1909 and $223,932;00O
in 1908. December is generally a bad
f1re-month, and the figures for the en-
tire year are not likely ITO generate
hope that real reform has set in. The
destruction by fire is entirely too
large, and effective methods Of check
ing it would represent wise ,conserva'
ton.

JACKS INDIAN SUIT.

Jack was a boy about eleven years
old He had always lived In town,
until this summer when his parents,
his brother, his little sister and he
moved to the country.
His brother was just year older
than he so they had great fun together.
Jack was happy now because he
could run, fish and hunt. He could
swim, too.
After Jack had made friends with
the children around there he found
that part Of them had Indian suits. He
wanted one too. SO he told his papa
and mamma about 1t and they got
one for him and one for his brother, 10
he wanted one too.
The children planned to tent out TOR
few days but did not know whore
to get tent large enough for all. Now
it happened that Mr.. and Mrs. Grey,
Jacks parents, had large one that
they had used when camping out be-
fore moving to the country. They told
the children that they could have this
as long as they wanted 1t.
On the first day of their camping
out they put the things in order inside,
they put up hammocks and swings and
swung and told stories until evening
when they went fishing In the lake
that was near by. After they had
their supper they got out their Indian
suits and put them on. AS part OF
the children did not have Indian suits
they did not know what to do, but
just then Jack spoke up and said, Let

THE HARVEST.

The harvest months are here and
the farmers are cutting their grain.
This year the harvest IL poor and
the grain is scattered in spots. The
farmers feel blue" as the old saying
is. The wheat is small and scattered
and firing near the soil. Even the
tons Of hay are green while near the
root it has turned to a whitish color.
Some of the farmers have not
enough crops out. such as wheat and
oats worth cutting. In places there
will be fine crop and that man will
feel elegant and laughs over his neigh
boris crops which are not SO good.
Now the corn crop Of just June rs.
It rained and stormed. This did dam
age to Van Buren, township. The fact
is that we need rain but not that kind.
Now the storm of the 25th has ceased
and turned hot as bake oven.
