Influenza Under Control.

The influenza epidemic seems
now to be under control in all
parts Of the United States and
the expectation is that it will
soon be but a memory.
In the southwest it seems to
have spent it's force and the
number of cases is rapidly di-
minishing. Ell Paso, Bisbee and
Tucson where it seems to have
been severest in number of
cases, though in but a mild
form, reports very few new
casss compared to three days
age. None are reported in No
gales and the doctors say there
has been none here.

Remember the Poor.

Interest in war work and
other activities of that nature
should not cause the charitably
inclined, and others as well, to
lose sight of the fact that there
viii soon be a call upon them
for help. This is especially
true of Nogales. We have here
a large population poorly
housed, the cost of living is
high and there are many fami-
lies lily prepared to face a cold
winter. Comfortable houses are
hard to get, even by those am
ply able to pay high rents, and
the condition of many large
families is such that they will
need help and that just as soon
as the severe weather arrives.

A CLEVER CAPTURE.
Boy Caught Stealing Packages
From Post Office Boxes

Fernando Caro- a boy about
sixteen years old who claims to
live on West avenue, this city,
is in the city Jail and stands a
good chance Of going over the
road.
For some time there have
been complaints of letters and
packages being taken from the
combination lock boxes in the
post office, and particularly a
box rented by M. B. Busta-
mente. Postmaster Schuck-
mann and the employees in the
office cooked up a little scheme
that worked like the proverbial
charm. Arranging a dummy
package they attached a stout
string about four feet long to it
and on the other end of the
string tied an iron weight. This
package being placed in the
Bustamente box they watched
for results. They had not long
to wait. Yesterday morning
young Caro- stealthily opened
the box seized the package but
in his exultation failed to real
ize that the string attached was
q dangerous thing and continued
to pull. Before he fully realized
that he had walked into a trap
one of the employees had him
by the arm and did not let go
until the crafty youth was In
the police station. He will be
given a chance to explain mat

Unconditional Surrender Of Austria Predicted

Two Negro Soldiers Make Booze
on the Hawaiian Plan

For some time the civil and
military authorities have been
puzzled by a species of intoxica-
ton particularly among soldiers
and diligent efforts were made
to solve the problem. Finally a
crude distillery operated by two
soldiers of the 25th infantry
was found in a small wooden
shack near the Standard Oil
Co.'s plant in Nogalitos. They
were making the booze after
plan they had picked up while
stationed in the Hawaiian
Islands. The manner Of manu-
facture was to place apples, bran,
corn, potatoes and cane sugar,
known as panoche Tin lieu of the
regular brown sugar of COM
merce) into a barrel and permit
it to ferment. After a due pro-
cess of fermentation the stuff
was dipped out and strained
through closely woven cloth
after which it was supposed to
be ready to drink. Whether a
modicum of plug tobacco was
added to give it greater
amount of ''kick'' is not known,
but those who tasted it say its
ripened potentialities are such
that two drinks of it would
make a second lieutenant tweak
the nose of his brigade COM
mander and civilian "talk
back" to his mother-in-law.
A lot of unusual ingredients
and a barrel about one-fourth
full of the stuff in an active
state Of fermentation were
seized and taken to the police
station where the mixture in
the barrel creates the impress

by that the jail is being fumi-
gated by burning the discarded
socks of the entire force. The
supposition is that it is being
held as exhibit A" when the
luckless soldiers are brought to
trial. There is no doubt but
that the mixture will tell its
own story in a silent but posi-
tive manner.
Meantime the soldiers are be-
ing detained in the guard house
at the military camp.
