If those who by reason of their

Suggestions for the good of the
town and the safety of tho people
are always in order. With the paw
ing of the square and the business
streets in the fire limits practically
assured, would it not be a good
idea to place the telephone and cleo
trio light wires beneath the ground?
Such an arrangement would help to
beautify as we'll as to lessen danger.
And the cost Of installing under
ground cables would be offset in
the cheapened up keep.

FAMOUS HONDURAN REVOLUT|ON|ST IS
 KILLED BY TROOPS
Valladares' Latest Revolt Lasted But Few Hours, Ending With His
 Death

Tegucigaipa, Honduras, November &. Gen Jose Maria Valladares, the noted revolutionist who in years past has caused much trouble to tho govern ments of Honduras and Nicaragua, has fomented his last uprising. He was killed yesterday by government troops in skirmish near ojojona, his native town, which lies twenty-five miles southwest of Teguclgalpa.
 The last uprising of Valladares was short lived. He started it yesterday near ojojona and immediately came ia contact with the government troops in short. sharp skirmish. In which he was shot His death ended the out break.
 Valladares hated foreigners, especial ly Americans. In 1910 when Fenton R. McCreery, the new American minister, reached Amapala, President Daviia wired the commandant of that port, General Nalladares, to receive MT. Me Creery officially and accord him proper honors Vailadares replied that he would not receive "any Of Tafts dogs with any honors," and Davila was compelled to entrust the according of honors in his name to several Germans.
 Vslladares later threatened the lives or foreigners and was ordered de- posed.
 Vanadares. however. came out in open rebellion against the Devila government ard a state of siege was declared. Brit ish German and American war vessels were sent to Amapala to protect the in- terests of their nationals and landed fcfees. These were not compelled to in- terfere in the situation, however, for shortly afterwards valladares surrendered and was ordered to leave the country He went to Nicaragua.
 Valladares next was heard of as a reyo- lutionist when, in March of this year, he crossed the Salvadorean frontier with his forces and captured the town of Aramen- cia He was defeated by the government troops March 9, at Comayagua,f but es- oaped to the mountains. There he en- ccuntered General Juan Ramon Soto, a prominent Hondnran general, who was i'll in bed. and assassifated him and a companion.
 Regathering his scattered forces Val ladares continued hafrassing the govern ment forces until March 27. when at Fl Hofno he was decisvely beaten. Again he succeeded in fleeing the country and had not been heard of since until he started the revolt at Ojojona which re- srlted in his death.

The passing of the old time domestic in- dustries k deplored. MT. Holmes adds:
 Tt is rare that the younger women know how to knit. Throughout large aieas the pride of the housewife in laying in great stores of larder supplies Is ex- tant only in history. and they are de- pendent upon the grocer for the products of the canpery."
 With the period mentioned Mir. Holmes reports that wages paid to men laborers on the farm have risen as high as 70 per cent, and that harvest hands are now paid upward of s20 a month with board. For the farm laborer who lives on the farm the year around the expert declares the money paid does not represent the real value of his remuneration. He says l his cost of living is solved pre-eminently.
