fled 100 liquor dealers in Nebraska
that a state convention will be held

All kinds of bonds will be dealt in,

when organized is expected TO be
capitalized at $4,000.

EAT MESCAL BEAN.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Feb. 27.-While
members of one or two tribes of In
dams elsewhere in the United States
have in the past given the United
States authorities considerable trou-
BILE by the use of a drink made from
what is known as the mescal bean,
not until the present time has the
practice extended to the Sioux Indians
of South Dakota.
Because the Sioux are more numer-
Gus than any other tribe of Indians in
the country--numbering about 10000
men, women and children-the gov
eminent will use strenuous means to
prevent the spread among them Of
the use of this demoralizing drink.
So far as known the only Sioux who
have taken to indulging in the drink
thus far are some of those who reside
in what is known as the Ponca dis
trict on the Rosebud reservation in
the extreme southern part of western
South Dakota.
The use of the beverage made from
the beans is said to produce hallucina-
tions and stupor, the action and eff
fects of the drug being something
similar to that produced by opium
The use of the strange beverage is

will begin finding ont how many miles
he averages daily; how many letters
he distributes; how many people he
serves daily how many people keep
mail receptacles in order; how much
each class of mail weighs; and how
long it takes to make each delivery.
The instructions reached the post
office yesterday and Postmaster John
r. Hays he'd a conference with all
the carriers regarding the new or
ders. The result of the conference
was that each carrier was handed the
printed instructions for weeks
study. Monday morning was the time
set by the postmaster for beginning
the tests.
Tuesday morning before going out
on their regular routes, it was deter
mined that the only way to ascertain
the distance made daily by them, was
to count their steps. Later the steps
will be measured The postoffice de-
partment will not authorize the pur-
chase of walking meters and therefore

MEXICO AMBASSADOR HOPEFUL
He Believes Present Revolution vii
Soon Be Put Down.

Washington, Feb. 27-Mexican Am
bassador MARTINEZ today expressed
the opinion that the present disturb.
ances in Mexico would not lead to a
real revolution, because a majority
OF public opinion was opposed to it."
He said the various local disturbanc-
es" would be put down in two or three
months at the longest.
THE people of Mexico" he added,
have had enough of revolution and
the majority of them are in favor of
peace and quiet so that they may go
ahead undisturbed with their bust
ness"
The fact that there are bands of
malcontents in various parts OF the
country, the ambassador declared,
should not be taken as an indication
that the Mexican people as a whole
are warlke and fond OF turmoil any
more than the existence of thieves
