Destruction Of Disease Carriers.

Depulization or the destruction Of the
disease-carrying fleas is accomplished by
means of disinfection Of rodent habita-
tions and human habitations In which
human and rodent cases Of plague have
been found, by the use of pulicides, ordi-
nary cleaning methods. pneumatic sue
ton apparatus and the depulization of
domestic pets.
Delineation Of the infected zone Is ac-
complished by the examination Of the
human dead. the human living, and by
the examination of rats microscopically
and bacteriologically.
The prevention of the disease is brough
about by the isolation of plague cases and
disinfection.
Assistant Surgeon General Rucker ex-
planned that the plague problem is well
summed up in the following lines:
First. plague in rats,
And then In feas;
Then plague in man
And quick decease.
No rats no. deas.
No plague decease.

One Of the First Steps.

One Of the first steps taken In fighting
the plague is to capture a number Of rats
from various sections Of tho locality In
which the disease is prevalent. A record
is kept of the locality in which each rat
was captured. The rats are then re-
moved to a laboratory and dissected. Be-
fore doing this. however, the fieas which
generally cover their bodies are killed. in
order to safeguard the laboratory worker
who Is making the tests.
When once the rats are .dfssected q
skilled laboratory worker can by various
means identify those which are infected
with the plague. The records made at
the time the rats are captured are then
referred to- and in this way an idea can
be had Of the plague-infested localities.
Plague eradicative measures are then
brought into play Among these is derati-
zation. depulization. delineation Of the
infected zone and the prevention Of the
spread Of the disease. The deratization
is accomplished either by use Of poison,
traps or by the natural enemies, such
as dogs, cats, ferrets. ETC., the destruc-
ton of rodent habitations and 1by rat
starvation. Rat starvation Is brought
about by the proper disposal Of all edible
refuse and the rat-proofing OF all food
supplies.

CITATIONS WERE SERVED
ON COLE AND PUENTE.
Not Returnable at Coming Term Of
Court, However, Unless Defend
ants Waive Ten Day Limit.

Saturday afternoon the citations
in the city election contest suits
against A. B. Cole for mayor and
Luis B. Puente for treasurer were
duly presented to the said defend
ants by Deputy Sheriff Joe Longoria.
However, as the law requires that
citations shall be served ten days
before the converting of court, eX-
elusive of the day of service and the
first day of court, and as these cita-
lions were not served until April s,
and whereas the district court will
open on the 18th, it appears that
these citations will not be rturnable
at the coming term of court, unless
the defendants shall waive the ten
day limit and voluntarily accept the
service for this term.
Up to last night there was no in
timation as to whether they would
do so or not. Mr.. Cole said that he
had not consulted counsel on the
subject and was not prepared to eX-
press himself on the subject.
AS the matter stands at present.
the suits against Crisanto Villareal,
for the Office of city secretary, and
B. l.. Cain, for the office of afler-
man in the fourth ward, are the only
ones that nay be expected positively
to come before the district court at
this term.

 est Goodwin Wins Over Samuel W.
 Gould In Third Distriot-Demoorats
 Expect to Carry State In November,
 However.
 William T. Haines, Republican oandi- date for governor of Maine, has been elected by a plurality of slightly more than $500.
 Three congressman, Asher c. Kinds and Frank k. Guernsey, Republicans, and Daniel J. McGillicuddy. Demo crat, have been reelected. the latter two by reduced maJorities. The Democratic congressman from the Third district, Samuel w. Gould, has been defeated by his Republican op- ponent, Forest Goodwin.
 The vote for governor was: William T. Haines, Republican, 71,300; Fred erick W. Plaisted, Democrat 6T,440.
 The Republicans elected thIrty-one members of the senate, the Democrats eight, and five are missing, with the Republicans claiming most of them. In the house the Republicans are eer- tain of sixty eight, the Democrats seventy, and of the thirteen missing most are believed to be Republicans,
 Tn gaining It's victory the Republic an party has reversed q Democratic plurality of s,511 given Plaisted two years ago.
 The Republican victory is due to the support given the state ticket by the Progressives, who did not put up an independent slate. Some time ago the Roosevelt leaders held confer ence with the men in control Of the conservative Republican ranks. With split vote certainly foreshadowing Democratic victory, the leaders of the two factions agreed to bury the hatchet until after the state election in an effort to regain Control of the state machinery.
 The Progressive sentiment In this state is strong. and many of the prom inent organization men who have done the most to bring about victory in the election just held will now come out for Roosevelt In view of this fact it is believed that the Democrats win probably carry the state in the No vember election, although the normal Republican presidential majority ia far in excess of that given the state ticket s.M. @a

MEXICAN GUARDS TO
 PATROL THE BORDER
Idea of Intervention SGOtted at
 by Officials.

In answer to demands by the United States government that Americans in northern Mexico are protected the Mexican department of war is making efforts to comply, as shown by devel- opments below Douglas, Ariz. In ad- dition to the GOO federal troops arriy- ing at Cananea, forty miles south of the border at Naco, Ariz., 500 more arrived at Nacozari, where there are about 100 Americans.
 Communication with Cananea was opened. When wires which were cut by rebels who tore up the railway were repaired all was reported quiet, and great relief was expressed at the arrival of the federal re-enforcements.
 Americans at the mining camps and the cattlemen of surrounding ranches prefer to be armed themselves, and many inquiries came over the wire regarding the arrival of arms prom fsed by Washington. but which ar rived at Naco shortly after the rebels tore up the railway and too late to be sent to Cananea. It was reported that the rebels who captured the pas senger train from Naco expected to capture the 500 rides and 10000 rounds of ammunition destined for the Americans of Cananea.
 Ii Is said the United States govern ment is planning to send 1000 addi- tfonaI rifles ~fromAa Pacific coast ar senal to arm Americans at the various othSr mining settlene1ts south of the ArAkona border.
