General Dominguez, carrying orders

When safely out of camp he made a
speech to his men. to the following
effect:
"Why should we remain soldiers,

Eight or ;er. of Antevideos' follow

where news of his defection, as he
expected, had not yet been received.
Here the lieutenant presented him
self as an ally. He was welcomed
with rations and a note of introduct

From the second American camp,
two nights ago. he rode with his men
to the little ranch of Delicios, to at

REFLECTIONS OF A By Helen
EAC)-rELOR GIRL Rowland
♦___i j
MARRYING for a "grande passion”
is setting sail on the sea of life
in a gasoline launch.
* * *
A happy marriage may be the one :
divine miracle which makes a woman
a "success" but an unhappy one. at
least, keeps her from being called a
failure.
* * *
Alas, why will a man never under
stand that a woman can “enjoy" hav
ing a good cry. now and then, just be
cause she feels so sorry for herseif.
* * *
Take care of a husband's digestion,
and his love will take care of itself; .
devotion and dyspepsia are never
found in the same house, and the
path to most divorces is paved with
waffles and flannel cakes.
* * ♦
That pathetic look of dazed sur
prise in a bridegroom's eyes is merely
the unconscious expression of his as
tonishment of finding himself actual
ly married, when he had never in
tended to go beyond the third kiss.
* * *
A man is so unoriginal that you
never can tell by the violence of his ,
expletives whether he has discovered
that his heart is broken, committed
suicide or merely stubbed the toe of
his new tan boots.
■* * #
The big storms of life seldom wreck
the ship of matrimony; it's the little
morning squalls of temper and ev
ening gusts of impatience that at last !
wear it out, so that it just founders
of its own accord.
* * *
A courageous man will “try any
; thing once," but a fool wants to try
I everything once.
* * *
A confirmed bachelor is usually just
a man who is practically incapable of
forgetting himself long enough to fall
in love with somebody else.

AN INQUEST WAS HELD.
United States Commissioner Stack

death of Alfred Boots who died ves
I terday morning in the office of his
physician. At the noon hour, a recess
was taken and the jury met again at
two o’clock to resume the inquiry.
TWO MEXICAN BANDITS
BROUGHT IN U. S.
WERE IN THE RAJDS ON BOQUIL-,
LA, GLENN SPRINGS AND
OTHER PLACES.
MARATHON. May 31.—Lieut. Col.
Nai ' Ui.nl Alvarez, leader of one of
the bandit hands that raided Boquil
!;..s and Glenn Springs, and Manuel
Torres, another of the raiders, were
brought here early today and given
into custody of Deputy Sheriff Shoe
maker to be taken to Alpine for trial
before the civil authorities. The pris
oners were heavily manacled with
chains.
Alvarez, a .very ordinary looking
peon, refused to talk, but admitted he
had played a part in the sacking of
Deemer's store.
His companion. Torres, a boyish ap
pearing figure, when asked why he
had invaded American territory to
rob aud kill, said:
"Six months ago I was living at
Sacramento in the state of Durango.
work:”.g on a little farm belonging to
m> parents. One day a number of
armed men came aud took away every
thing we had stored to keep us until
the next crop came. The^' even took
our wearing apparel.
"Later on. another baud appeared,
only to find that we haa notnlng left.
The colonel, an elderly man, looked
at me and said that I might make a
good soldier. I told him I did not
want to join the army. He looked at
me again and finally said: “You have
no shoes: your feet are sore; your
trousers are rent and torn; you have
no coat: it is cold and you say that
you are hungry. Come with me aud
I will feed and clothe you.”
"1 joined him and for a time we had
plenty to eat and wear, but times be
came hard again and our chief de
cided to strike along the Rio Grande
on the Mexican side, where he said
food and forage were more in abund
ance.
"After many days of riding we
reached the river opposite Boquillas
and camped. Some of the men sug
gested that a raid be made across the
river and it was agreed on.
"The raid was carried out. but 1 did
not participate in it. I was one of
ten left on the Mexican side to guard
the retreat and there I remained until
we left for the interior and I was
caught by your American troops.”

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
i Philadelphia Inquirer.)
"We beiieve,” reads a paragraph in
the platform of the Republican party
of Kentucky, “that a responsibility
will rest upon the next president
greater than has been borne by any
executive since Lincoln.”
So do we.
“Grave national and international
questions are being unsettled, not
settled, by the present national ad
ministration." it adds. All of which is
true.
Not only must we deal with world
matters, but with domestic interests.
Germany and Mexico are still with
us. presenting grave problems. When
peace shall have come, there will re
main the great question of American
industries.
With a Democratic administration
in power, no relief could be expected
from the near-free trade tariff that
was sending all business upon the
rocks when the war intervened to
save the United States from commer
cial bankruptcy. From the business
standpoint alone “safety first" de
mands a return to Republican poli
cies.
It will require a man of excep
tional ability, of wide experience in
foreign relations and with intimate
knowledge of the needs of this coun
try to carry successfully on his shoul
ders a responsibility "greater than
has been borne by any executive
since Lincoln.'*

A CORRECTION.
With reference to an article ap
pearing in yesterday's paper by a so
called Harvey regarding an alleged
*bonehead play made by Walker in
Tuesday’s ball game, it seems that an
explanation would be In order.
For the benefit of those who ^ ere
not at the game, because it would be
useless to argue with any man that saw
it and did not understand the play. It
might be well to say that it was a
play that is pulled every day in fast
ball, with one man out, bases full.
The man on first and second, in an at
tempt to get the man on first
Anybody that had studied baseball
by anything but a correspondence
course understands this, so we will
gently draw the curtain on the writer
of yesterday’s article.
Also it might be in order to say that
Walker's team won Tuesday’s game,
instead of losing It as was stated.
That statement, however, was in keep
ing with the rest of hrs chatter so
what’s the use.
WATERFRONT FIRE IN
VANCOUVER COSTLY
TWO PLANTS ARE PRACTICALLY
TOTAL LOSS. BUT MAY
REBUILD SOON.
—
Details of the' tire reported last 1
Monday In the brief dispatch from
Vancouver. B. C., appears in the Seat
tle Times on that date as follows:
Vancouver suffered its first serious l
but long-dreaded waterfront conflag- j
ration last evening, when damage to I
the extent of well over half a million
dollars was caused by an out break :
of fire in the Alberta-Pacific Grain
Company’s premises which practically
destroyed the elevator conatining 90.
000 bushels of wheat and then spread
to the huge plant of the New Eng
land Pish Company. Before the
flames were finally got under conrol
after one of the stift’est three-hour
battles that the local fire department
has had for a couple of years, the fish
company’s plant was also practically
destroyed.
The heaviest loss fails on the New
England Fish Company. Manager A1
Hagar announced that after a careful
estimate of the damage, as far as!
known at midnight, he placed the loss j
at approximately $425,000. This
amount is comprised in the total de
struction of the company's offices,
stores, wharf and partial destruction
of the big fish storage warehouse. The
latter contained a stock of fish valued
at $100,000, of which it is expected
that not more than half will be saved
or of marketable value. Fortunate
ly. the stock of fish was at about its
lowest ebb for nearly a year past,
due to the recent heavy shipments.
The insurance carried on the plant
amounts to about $300,000.
Included in the loss sustained by
the Pacific-Alberta Grain Company I
was its wharf, office, warehouse and
elevator, the whole valued at about
$150,000, of which amount approxi
mately $100,000 is covered by insur
ance.
Aside from the actual monetary loss
sustained by the two companies men
tioned, is the unfortunate sequence
that the crippling of the New Eng
land Fish Company’s plant will throw
out of employment fully 500 men,
afi.oat and ashore, temporarily at
least, according to Mr. Hagar. Mr.
Hagar announced that a start would
be made as soon as the debris was
cool enough to clear away, to de
termine the question of rebuilding.
Similar enterprise and quick action
was announced by the management
of the Pacific-Alberta Grain Company.
