All the federal troops are now in
Cananea. In the heart of the town is a

has been fortified with high rock walls.
No person is permitted to approach
this mesa, and 1t is thought to be
mined. One machine gun is located on
teh east mesa between the largest two
hotels; one on the south mesa and an
other on the west slope beyond the
smelter. All command the city, which
has a population of $4,000.

AMERICANS, NOT MISTREATED
AT ALAMO, SHE SAYS
American Woman Comes Out of Lower
California and Says BerthOId Is
Recovering From Wound.

San Diego, Cal, April 13.-According
to Mrs. Nellie Myers, who was arrested
in Ensenada last week on suspicion of
being the wife of Gen. Berthold, and
who has arrived in the city, says there
is no truth in the report that Americans
are ill-treated by the rebels at Alamo,
and that there is suffering there.
Il was in Alamo when the town was
captured" said Mrs. Myers. The peo-
pie offered little resistance, only one
shot being fired. The place was taken
by four insurgents. Four days later
Gen. Berthold, with 40 men. rode into
town. Berthold was wounded. A bullet
had shattered his right leg He is now
recovering
There is no truth in the report that
Americans are being mistreated at
Alamo Those who cannot afford to pay
for food are being fed. No one is being
held prisoner in a corral or anywhere
else"
While Gen. BerthoId is disabled the
command of the troops is in the hands
of George Mosby, a son of Gen. John
Mosby. the famous Confederate fighter.

Mexico City, April 13.-Why Luis
Moya made a spectacular attack on

Street Paving In Temple.

Years ago, and on many occasions,
street paving was agitated in Temple
and efforts were made to get the
movement started, but it was the most
discouraging proposition ever under
taken, in line of public improvement,
and that-it was finally secured is one
of the real wonders to those who
know of the difficulties that had to
be surrounded In the old days it
was frequently remarked that If just
one street, or couple of blocks, could
be paved the rest would follow. How
true that conception was is now be-
ing made manifest. Fortunately, the
paving area of the first undertaking
was much more than few blocks or
a single street, but the underlying in
fluence predicted for start of any
kind is as the hustlers always be-
lieved. With the experiences Of paved
streets the paving bug" has taken
hold of the people, and the good work
is going to proceed until much of the
city is covered. Telegram.

NICE POLITICAL STEW.

In his sworn testimony before the
senate committee investigating the
charges of corruption in connection
with the election of William Lorimel
as senator from the tsate of Illinois
H. II. Kohlsaat, editor and publisher
of the Chicago Record-Herald, said
one of Lorimer's strongest allies is
and has been Roger c. Sullivan, Hi
nois member of the democratic ma
tional committee. 1t ought to be added
right in this connection that what
Kohlsaat swore is just what ma.
jority of the people of the country have
believed and what democrats of ILL
nois ought to know.
Democrats in every state of the
Union have made bigger inroads into
the ranks of the republicans during
the past year than they have in ILL
nois. The reason for this situation
need not be sought further than Roger
c. Sullivan-if Kohlsaat tells the truth
and there is little excuse for doubt
ing his word in any particular. 1t is a
pretty political stew voters of Illinois
have had served to them-a combina-
ton of Lorimer on one side and Sulli-
van on the other. If that is not enough
to gag a decent citizen his political
stomach must be copper-lined and in
sensible of sickening influences.
1t has been seven years since Will
liam ]. Bryan told the world Roger G..
Sullivan was a political crook, that he
had no political convictions that did
not chime with "big business" and that
he was unfit to represent any state on
the national committee of the demo-
cratic party.
More often than otherwise the Elk
press and Mr.. Bryan are out Of Joint
politically, Not often does he. say any
thing of politics with which we can
entirely agree. In simple justice to
Mr. Bryan We want to utter the opin-
ion he knew Roger c. Sullivan better
than did the majority of democrats of
the country-better, let us hope, than
did the democrats of Illinois who put
him in the place of honor he holds and
who have retained him there.
1t is small wonder Illinois demo
Gratis have not had any political sue
cess while their brethren of other
states have, in numerous instances,
swept all before them A party that
endures as leader a man like Roger
C. Sullivan to dominate it does not
deserve success, even though Lori
