NEW YORK. July 3.-When the stock market opened today with an advance which ran from one to two points on leading shares. there was d tendency in some quarters to attrib- ute the fact to the conclusions reach ed by the democratic national con Vention. Likewise those who sought a reason for the reaction which en- sued and which converted the gains into losses professed to find it in the news from Washington of the rcsig- nation of the assistant secretary of the treasury to the accompaniment of allegations affecting the admnis- tratiVe capacity of his chief

 Eight hours of hard fighting gave the government forces an advantage in the position that they now hold and when the fighting is resumed tomorrow Huerta believes he will have no diff culty in forcing the entire rebel army from tine mountain stronghold. To- morrow at Jaybreak Huerta declared the fedeTals will renew the attack.
 A bomb throwing machine was cap tured today from the rebels and several prisoners. The casualties are unknown tonight a the battle field has not yet been examined but as soon as most Of the firing was at long range 1t is not believed that the losses were heavy on either siJe. Unless OroZcO, on account of the scarcity of ammunition has with drawn his forces northward as reported here, 1t is probable that tOmorroWs g fighting will be decisive.

Any Kind of a Job

Senator Dixon, manager of Mr. Roosevelt's preconvention campaign, is one of the most determined advo- cates of the third party movement. Mir Dixon is, we believe, the only man who may be regarded as a par ticipant in national affairs who is encouraging the colonel to this wild ness Other men like Governor Had ley and Senator Borah who were supporters of MT. Roosevelt, are Op- posing the third party movement The explanation of the activity of MT. Dixon may be found in the circum- stance that he is a statesman out of a job. At the late Montana pri- Inaries 8 majority of the republicans of that state voted to discharge him at the end of his present term of ser vice
 MT. Dixon being of d nervous tenn perament and of industrious disposi- tion is of course looking for d new job. He might secure employment under a Roosevelt administration. At any rate that is next best bet. since the republican doors of his state and the nation are closed against him

5edbugs, Etc.

The bedbug is dcspicable enough without having other charges not easily sustained lodged against him. Even in earlier generations before cleanliness was as much of requisite to social standing as it is now, neigh Dors looked askance on the family that harborcd bedbuss. And it was not an easy matter not to harbor them. It was constant struggle on the part Of the housewife to maintain her claim to social standing. We all re- member the old bedsteads whose net work of frightened ropes served alike as slats and springs and as q lair for bedbugs. We remember the ire quent application of kerosene or still deadlier unguents to discourage the vermin and set the rope work a-creaking with every movement of the sleeping occupant. In fact We all know what bedbugs are or were.
 The doctors have since discovered that the bedbug is more than d sign of social inferiority and merely an moving pest; that he is a spreader of tuberculosis and Ieprosy. and now comes Dr. Manning in the Medical Times" with the belief that the bed
  sation of infantile paralysis.
 Good Health Magazine" is inclined to this view. Now while we would not put it apast" the bedbug to do or be anything discreditable the evil dence in the matter of infantile paralysis. though negative. is all in his favor.
 This is a comparatively modern disease. In fact. until within the last few years Iaymen had hardly heard of it. It did not flourish in the earlier days when the bedbug was rampant but it has come on in an era in which the bedbug or cimex lee tularius. though Uuhappily not extinct, exists in lessencd numbers in ratio to the human population than he did a generation or two ago when hardly a family was too poor to own a bedbug
 The doctors are overdoing the thing in their war upon the bedbug. They are spelling their case by the intro- duction of easily controvertible evi- dcnce
 Having thus shown that palpable injustice is being done to the bedbug we may tomorrow or at some early date take up the case of the third party and show that some of the ar SUments against the establishment of il are unsound. Also, later We will perhaps show that the democratic party under the leadership of Cover nor Wilson and the sponsorship of MT Bryan may not be wholly bad. The purpose of this series of dis quisitions of which this is the first is to promote a spirit of optimism in this community and to show that nothing is so bad that it might not be worse
