May Be After Pledge.

There are those in Tucson who
believe that General Emilio Campo
came into this country to secure
arms and ammunition for the rebel
forces and that he intends TO re.
turn. II is believed that Dr.. J. B.
Rutfo has been sent to Tuscon by
Madero to secure pledge from
Campo that he will not resume hos
tilities. DR. Ruffo's friendship with
the imprisoned leader would make
him especially fitted for this task.
DR.. Rutfo has been in almost
hourly consultation with Campo ev-
cry day for a week. Y. NJ. A. Pa
dilla. secretary OF state in Sonora,
held consultation with Campo for
two hours Saturday II is probable
tina, in addition to seconding Ruffo's
efforts, he is seeking information
about arms and ammunition that
Campo may have concealed and in
formation which may lead to the
capture OF his troops.

ception was held in the building.
There are 93,032 members in the as

meeting, Mrs. A. H. Horton, who was
a delegate to the national convention
in Washington, d. c., gave an inter-
estings account of her experiences.
She opened her address by thanking
the organization for ,electing her, and
regretting that Mrs. Julia Farnsworth
Soper, who was also a delegate, was
unable to attend the meeting and
make her report.
Mrs. Horton then gave a sketch of
what had occurred in Washington. She
told of her delightful trip, and men
toned the brief church service the
delegates attended the morning they
arrived. She described at length the
first meeting in Memorial Constitu-
ton hall: the immense crowds. hun
drcds waiting outside, the enthusiasm,
and the welcoming address of Mrs.
Scott, president of the association. AT
the afternoon session, the United
States Marine band played many
splendid selections and President Taft
made a few remarks He was ex-
tremely cordial. His self-possession
was especially noteworthy, for he had
just received confirmation of the death
of his beloved aide, Major Archibald
Butt, who should have been present at
the meeting. Mrs. Horton mentioned
that the seats of the Kansas delega-
ton were so poor that hardly a word
the sections are changed each year,
thus giving each state equal advan-
tage; last year the Kansas reservations
were especially good. The reports,
however, appear in the Atlantic
Monthly, SO everyone has chance to
study them.
Memorial hall is a beautiful and
enormous building said Mrs Horton.
Several states have furnished whole
rooms, and presented them to the as
ISOLATION. The Maine room was very
interesting. Many people are under
the impression that Kansas is not
at all, but we have made

early Planted wheat Looks Good.

st. rFancis, Kan, May 13.-Cheyenne
county has had four inches of rain
this spring and it is still raining. The
crop prospects are the best in years, If
not in the history of the county The
early sowing of fall wheat stands four
to eight inches high. The late sowing
is not so good and much of it was
injured, because of the fact that the
farmers neglected to go upon the
ground and break the crust formed
after the snow left and the tender
shoots were unable to push through.
Spring wheat is looking fine, although
somewhat backward, on account of this
fact that the season is backward. The
farmers of this county have reason to
be well satisfied and in the main, they
are so.

this great cavernous chimney that the
Pilgrim wife cooked her thanksgiving

Our harvest being gotten in, our

though 1t be not alwayes SO plentiful,
as 1t was at this time with us, yet
by the goodnesse of God, we are so
fare from want that We often wish

While the bill of fare of this first
American celebration of the Harvest
festival has not been preserved the
feast was no doubt royal one even
if some Of the food and the methods
of preparation would seem strange
and outlandish to present day Amer

bountiful for there were about 40
persons including the 80 of Mas

their share of supplies. From other
sources we know that the foods Of
the sea were abundant and that the
Pilgrims had made the acquaintance
