vauuis Continue Trouble.

Advices from Sonora are to the effect that the hostile Yaquis con- tinue to make trouble, and their hestilities are assuming alarming proportions. Sunday they attacked the town of Mazatan, and It IS stated that in the fight they killed eleven men, one of them being Juan Navarro, man known we'll in Nogales.
 Thursday there was report that the town of Ures had been attacked by a force 800 strong, and that the citizens of the town beat off their Yaqui assailants with considerable difficulty. The extent of the casu- alties was not reported.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
lose SoIares of Tubac Is Severed in Twain by Switch Eugins st
 hogales.

Tuesday evening Mexican named Jose Solares, rancheman living beyond Tubac, was run over by the switch engine in the rail- way yard at Nogales, and his body cut in twain, death being almost instantaneous. The shocking oc- curence took place at point on the main track just below Park street, close to the south end of the park on Morley avenue. The theory that seems most plausible is that that deceased was going across to Morley avenue from Grand avenue and came to the track as the locomotive was coming in that direction from the depot. He es. saved to cross over before the en- zine should pass, and stubbing his toe upon the first rail he fell prone across the other one, being caught by the wheels before he could arise.
 Deceased, who was a man about thirty-fve years of age. with fam fly, had been in Nogales all day to attend a hearing in contest he had inaugurated against a desert land filing made by Maria c. Bre- na and by her assigned to Margaret L. Power, the latter being the con testee in the case. He was accom- panied by John Yutsie, Evaristo Gomez, Jose Olivas and Rafael Saenz, neighbors, all ranchemen living in the same vicinity, who appeared at the hearing as witness es in his behalf. When the hear ing ended it was too late to return home, so the entire party remained at Nogales over night. They went to the Arizona hotel and engaged rooms, except the deceased, who preferred to sleep with his wagon
 and look out for his team, which he had camped outside of town, ht

 having brought beddi ing anticipst- ing some such necessity. Of his companions. Evaristo Gomez, went to the wagon with him and remain ed there some little time. Then Gomez started to return to the hotel to join the rest of the party. He stopped to take in the carnival on the flat near the freight depot. He had been there about an hour when he was informed that Solares had been killed on the track. The latter had concluded, evidently, to go up town, and met his fate cross- ing the track, as described. The shocking event took place about ' o'clock in the evening.
 Wednesday corners jury was impanelled by Justice Chatham, and verdict was rendered in ac- cordance with the foregoing rela- tion, at the same time censuring mildly the engineer of the locomo- tive for running through the yard too fast.

we have safeguarded against this

time during the winter. but is often
most serious during April and May.

The dandelion is a perennial pest,
and worse some seasons than others
There are two methods Of getting rid
If it. One is to take sharp knife
and cut the plants off just below the
crown. The other-and this method is
recommended for larger areas-is to
spray the young and tender plants
with Il strong solution Of iron sui
phate or green vitriol. This puts the
plants out of commission. but does not
seriously injure the grass.

Few farmers feel that they have
time to give to an elaborate corn breed
ing plot. but none of them is so busy
that he can't take time to select the
best hundred ears in his supply of
seed and. after testing to be sure of
its vitality, plant in plot on the
south or west sides of his main field
Doing this will not only simplify the
matter of selecting the seed ears next
fall. but the location of the best and
most thrifty type of corn in the posi-
ton mentioned will mean that much
of the remainder of the field will be
fertilized by the tassels on these bet
ter stalks.

There are fiocks Of hens that net
their owners from 81 to 81 per head
yearly. There are others that don't
net more than from 20 to 40 cents. A
part of this difference in income is due
to the hens. but more to the man and
the care.

In case it should be found nee
essary to use seed corn of a rather
low terminating power far better re-
suits will be secured if the seed bed
is put in extra good tilth and if the
planting of the corn is put over until
the ground is thoroughly warm. Such
seed will need the most favorable con.
ditions. and these should be provided
so far as possible.

siderable accuracy as between a dead

makes a production of borax. The
outout for 1910, according TO the
United States geological survey. was
42,357 short tons, having value of a

the amount Of borax consumed is in

beyond his means In many instances
the blame for this state of affairs is
chargeable largely to the husband be-
cause of his failure TO take his wife
into his confidence. Many a home has
been wrecked or had its happiness
largely destroyed through failure on
the part OF the husband TO inform his
wife of his exact financial status. 1t
is her right to know the volume Of the
income II she does and is not willing
to cooperate in making both ends

scum, that the national committee Will
exercise its option on the building for
all of next week.
why will the convention need the

New was asked
Because, as we figure is now, the
convention may not adjourn before
Tuesday afternoon" was the reply.
"Our contract requires us to leave the
building as we found it. and it win
take about two days to do that part or
the work. So you see We will need
most of next week, if not all Of It," .
Colonel New added that the delays
that have occurred will probably make
an adjournment today or tomorrow
out Of the question.

Taft Again Says
He Will Not Quit

CHICAGO, June 21.-President Taft
will not withdraw from the race for
the nomination and there will be no
compromise candidate with his con-
sent.
The president asserted this In a talk
he had from Washington over the long
distance phone early today with Con-
gresham Mckinley, his campaign man
ager.
The president desired that this idea
be communicated TO the delegates and
the people, but without the statement
that 1t came directly from himself
One of his most powerful supporters
on the national committee, however,
thought that it might be better to let
it be known that this was the atti-
tude of the president himself, and thus
set at rest the reports that he IS tired
of the fight and that he desires to re-
tire in favor of some man-perhaps
Cummins or Hadley-who might be
able to make better appeal to the pro-
gressive wing of the Republican party

Plan to Gust
T. r. Committeeman

CHICAGO, June 21.-A plan to Gust
Roosevelt members of the Republican
national committee has been formed.
Under the provisions of rule that will
be presented when the long deferred
permanent organization of the conven
ton at last gets under way, national
committeeman who bolt the party nom
inee may be ousted. The national
committee itself is to be judge and jury
and is to have power to fill its own va
cancies This is the answer to Roose-
velt's denunciation of the national
committee and his demand that it be
done away with hereafter
The rule that will be offered provides
that ordinary vacancies on the national
committee may be filed as at present
by the central committee of the state.
The new power given the committee is
to- GUST members who do not support
the candidate nominated at the ma
tional convention.
The committee itself may appoint the
men to fill these places. This gives
the state affected no voice whatever in
the selection of a national committee
man.
The rule was outlined when it was
asserted by a number of the committee
members who haye favored Roosevelt
that they would support no other can
didate nominated here
Another rule intended to strengthen
the power of the committee is one that
provides that election of national com
mitteemen under the primary laws of a
state shall be considered only nomi-
nation and that the state delegation of
any such state at the national conven-
ton shall elect the committeeman
This rule resulted from the demand
of r. B. Howell of Nebraska, elected
committeeman at the state primaries,
for a seat on the committee before the
delegate contests started.
A rule to be placed before the con-
vention by the minority provides for
the reduction of delegates from the
Southern states and the increase of
representatives in the big Republican
states Under the plan proposed the
national convention would be made up
on the basis of one delegate for each
10000 Republican votes at the preced-
ing presidential election.
The plan for this change Is an old
one and has been brought up at num-
Der of conventions The South has al
ways succeeded in getting enough trad
ing strength to defeat 1t.
