PRESERVING ORDER ON THE BORDER.

NTH the details are known it will be impossible to
form opinions upon the value of the suggestion made
by the Mexican secretary of the treasury who on Saturday
urged that the United States and Mexico enter into an
agreement for reciprocal force to preserve the peace on
the International border.
An agreement whereby given number of American
troops would police given number Of miles on each side
of the border and undertake to keep down lawlesness
whether of Mexican American origin and without re-
gard to where the international line runs might prove all
right as far the poiced concerned but would not
go very far in improving the relations between the two gov
ernments. for that only be done through the substitution
OF sane and competent government at the Mexican capital
But if the Cabrera proposition contemplaes the organ
izaton of sort of mixed force under Joint com
mission of some kind the thing not only prepoerous but
impossible The worst feature about any reciprocal
effort to control the border situation would be that il prob
ably would enable the Mexican government 10 ignore its
own undivided responsibility
If it inks the proud spirit of the Mexicans to have Amer
can troops upon their soil accordance with understanding,
already entered into between the two governments thew
now have remedy. All that it will be necessary
for them to do to to that in the sections of their
country that with the international line the best of

of recent attack of influenza, and
that in a semi-conscious state he wan
dered away, found a bed in the hay
stack, and lay there until conscious
ness returned He is rational only at
rare intervals yet, but hopes are en-
tertained for his recovery.
One of the most peculiar and dis
tressing accidents in the annals of
medical science occurred at the Peter
Herberg farm home near Wildrose
last week, when the five-year-old son
of the family succumbed as result
of inhaling steam vapor escaping
from teakettle The boy was play
ing about the stove in the home and
in some unaccountable manner came
too close to the boiling kettle and Sc
cured deep inhalation of the ex-
haust steam. 1t resulted in seriously
scalding his mouth, throat and bron-
chial tubes. At the time of the acct
dent it did not appear to be Of serious
consequences, and medical attention
was not called until the following
day. On the arrival of the doctor the
boy was in a serious condition, max
ing a desperate battle for his youthful
life, but it proved of no avail, death
relieving him of his suffering the next
morning. Death was caused by con-
traction of the membrane of the
throat and bronchial tubes, which viz
tually caused strangulation. This is
one of the few deaths in this manner
on record.
w. w. Trivillian, brakeman on the
Dakota division of the N. P, whose
home is at Jamestown, met instant
death Monday in the Northern Pa
cific yards at Mandan when he was
brushed from the step of an engine
by passing switch engine, rolled be-
tween the two engines and finally
went under the wheels, his head being
almost cut off and the body badly
mangled. The engine of the freight
had been detached from the train and
was running into a switch when the
switch engine, which had been used
as pusher and was running from the
bridge, came west and side swiped the
freight engine, which had not yet
cleared the switch. Trivillian must
have been standing on the edge Of
the tank, it is thought, and blinded by
steam. He was rolled and crushed
between the two engines and fell I'M
der the wheels. The deceased was for
some time passenger brakeman run
ming out Of Jamestown, but of late
had been breaking on freights. He
was about 81 years old and leaves
wife and one child at Jamestown. He
originally came from Portland, Ore
