One of the big points which the pros

the fact that three of the gunmen-

Mexico.

 When Orozco left Juarez it was stated officially that every pass to the west had been closed and that is would be impossible for the rebel lead CT to get through the net laid for him. Semi-official papers in the capital proclaimed the drawing in of the net which was to end the revolution and the chief of President Madero's cabinet said that 1t could be but q few days before the head of the move rient in the north was a prisoner. Tho government is plainly worried over tne new turn oi lhulSo anu IS tIuSNilE tn a great extent to the patriotism of the citizens of the western states i the new emergency.
 Reports from the south are more encouraging but are scarce. For the first time in several weeks the gov crnor of Morelos has reported that there has been no Zapatistas activity in his state during the day. News nom the state of Mexico Is under the ban.
 Talk of friction among the com manding officers in the south is com mon although denied In official cir cles, and 1t is expected that one or more of the new appoint tees to that district may be recalled at any time.

NICARAGUAN JUNTA
 HITS WASHINGTON
ACTIVE ORGANIZATION BEGINS WORK FOR REVOLUTION AT
 NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Washington, Aug 27.-The appear ance in Washington of an active Near aguan junta, working in the interest of the liberal party and laying plans for pressure to bear upon the state department to cause change of pol icy in the handling of the Niearaguan revolutionary problem, has added much to the interest felt by the Latin American element here.
 Tn the absence of any direct news from Managua in the past AS hours, owing to continued interruption ol telegraph service, is itself potent sign of intense activity on the part of the rebels. the attempts here to bring about a settlement by diplomat ic means are being watched with m terest.
 Envoys in Washington from the ID eral party are Francisco Altschul, wht was consul general for his country under the zalaya administration, iu New Orleans, and Angel ugarte, one time Honduran minister to Washing ton, but aiiefward e liberal leader II Nicaragua
 1t is regarded improbable that th' state department would entertain anl propasal for the domlnuiion ot th' American force now ln Nicaragua, s' long as the present semtanArehis'i' conditions continue.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Whether the American Mormons who. fled from Mexico during the acute stages of the rebellion shall be permitted to bear arms upon their return to their homes in Mexico, is the question: raised by General Steeyer in one of his reports today to the war department. War department officials are inclined to believe this question which should be settled by the Mexican govern ment and the American border patrol should allow the Returning refugees to take arms with them for their own protection if they have no purpose to violate the neutrality laws, by taking part in the rebellion on the other side.

ADVERTISING CLOCKS
 MAY BE CONDEMNED
MERCHANTS WHO PATRONiZED THEM WILL HAVE A CHANCE
 TO FIGURE "RESULTS.s

Merchants who expend money in ad- vertising and publicity usually note with interest the results obtained in the outlay for advertising their places of business and not infrequently they find that at a top price figure they have invested in something that has brought absolutely no returns.
 About year ago large number of local merchants invested in a scheme of novelty advertising-boug space in automatic advertising clocks, rep resented by the solicitor as a scheme whereby the advertisers name was to be kept constantly before the public for an indefinite time. Most of the patrons of the scheme paid cash in advance. getting liberal discount. The solicitor promised that the com pany had engaged a watchman to keep the clocks wound and keep them in repair for an indefinite time
 Everyone knows the result The clocks have not ticked for months and months. They remain on the streets an eyesore to the public and a con stant thorn in the sides of those who paid dearly for advertising in the scheme.
 Now it Is announced that the clocks are to be seized and sold for taxes and te ac removed from the streets, unless the company installing them comes to the front with the taxes due, and fulfills it's agreement to keep them in repair and running.
 There is no desire to criticise those who patronized the scheme. or to in dulge in any T told you sos" The lesson is a forceful one-bought and paid for in hard coin of the realm
 There is but one class of good ad- vertising in which results are certain
 that Is in newspapers and reliable journals whose circulation is a guar antee of results.
