No doubt the disturbance has kept Borne of the winter tourists uway, but there seems o bo as many sightseeing Americana >11 the plazas us usual. An American would feel nt home lere now with the throo principal play louses presenting "The Dollar Prln ;chb," "Duko of Lu*eiuberg" and "The Merry Widow." One of the minor .heaters has announced an approach ng engagement of "The Cabin of Thomas," from which the American :olony Infers that Kllza lu to again lee over the Ice pursued by blood lounds. The plaza parades are a constant ielight of tourists, who join the prom enade or watch the passing Bhow for hour*, admiring the brtgbt-faced girl* and their lynx-eyed chaperons. Under the circumstances the Amer leant here are being treated with the utmost consideration. It aeeme to be the desire of Mexican official* to re tain the friendahlp of Americana dur ing these daya of minor Internal dla turbancea, for the alienation of Ameri can capital would be a worae disaster than is likely to result from the in aurgenta. Any antipathy In this city toward Americans come* from the lower classes, the profeaalonal agitators and malcontent*. They sometimes rally around the aehtlment "Mexico for Mexlcana," but here In thia city tbla element la In a hopeless minority. It has developed since the revolu tion began that it was financed largely by Mexicans who live In Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, led chiefly by Klores Magon, once sentenced to pris on in California for violation of the neutrality laws. Blnce the trouble began leas thai* usual has been seen of President Diaz and this started rumors that be was very 111 and even that he w?b dying. A few days ago when such rumora were flying the President and Mrs. Diaz put an end to the tales by driv ing through the city In an open car riage and going to a perk, where they walked for an hpur. When the revolution was forming President Diaz said he would person ally lead his army If the situation be came serious. That he baa made no move in that direction is taken as an assurance that the high officials do not regard the outbreak seriously. Western Town Moved Away on Wheels SIOUX FALLS, S.

Without disturbing tho officials, the :ounty court house was hitched to two >f tho largest traction engines ever 3uilt and was hauled from Lainro over .o Winner, where It was placed on a 'oundatlon previously prepared for it. I'he Lamro hotel, drawn by 72 teamB jf horses, made tho trip without so much as ceasing business during a single meal. Lamro was unique In being a town ouilt by Indians for the use of white iien. Indians promoted the town, told lota, opened business houses, and Anally elected themselves to office. In dians were elected to the offices of county Commissioner, county judge, county treasurer and to all other places. Howovor, tlio Indians wero at last outgeneraled by the whlto men. Tho red men wero familiar with many things, but they did not understand tho ways of tho American railroad builders. Lamro was promoted while tho railroad was still 20 miles away, but headed In that direc tion. In fact, the survey ran through tho spot upon which the Indians built the town. Uut the railroad mado a detour Just great enough to put Lam ro off the line of road and the whlto men built tho town of Winner on tho roud and only three miles from the In dian town. In the meantime Lamro had grown rapidly and was a town of 2,000 people, with all sorts of busi ness houses. The people living at Winner organ ized a county seat fight and carried the matter before the voters at the November elections. By agreement between tho two towns the loser agreed to abandon its Bite and move bodily over to tho winner of the fight. Truo to its name, Winner won out by a small vote, and the very next day arrangements were begun for tho hbuse moving. Nebraska May Have 'Vagabond City' I DONT THINK MUCH' lOF D?S PLACF CEE HOW TXjffSTY 'Am ? - ! | I ?- 1 ' y LINCOLN, NEP.?Nebraska may soon have a vagabond city and all tramps, drunkards or delinquents of other kinds who drift into this state will be in danger of being made citt eens of the new colony. The "city" I will not rob the penitentiary of any [ 5f its prisoners, but is intended to I take care of that large class of unfor , tunates designated by professional j nharity workers as "b?low the poverty I line." It will bo the llrst institution | jf its kind in the United States and , is an experiment along untried lines ; is sure to attract the attention of so ciologists everywhere. No real crim inals will be admitted to citizenship, i but only "unfortunates" will be accept ed there. J A bill before the lcfilslaturo calls ' for the establishment of a colony on the prairies, far from the temptations of a large city. The Bize of the in stitution is not mentioned in the bill, but its backers think from 5,000 to 10,000 acres will be necessary once the colony is in full working order. In addition to a big farming area there will be shops of all kinds, an iron foundry, a shoo Bhop, a book bindery, a tailor shop, a furniture factory, a planing mill and others of this kind. The output of the colony will not come In competition with that of pri vate concerns, but will 'oe used, in great measure, by the stato in the different state institutions. When one coming within those lines is brought before the proper authori ties, instead of being sentenced to the city Jail orvthe slate prison he will be sent to "Vagabond City." No fixed term of Incarceration will be set, but the delinquent will be simply sent to the city until he becomes self-sup po~ting, after which he will be sent back to the world as a man able to take care of himself. While in the "city" he will bo taught an occupa tion or trade.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING "It la just a year ago that my sis ter came over hero to us. She had been here only a few weeks when her eyes began to be red,"and to burn and sting as if she had sand in them. Then we used all of the home reme dies. She washed her eyes with salt water, used hot tea to bathe them with, and bandaged them over night with tea leaves, but all to no purpose. She went to the drug store and got some salve, but she grew constantly worse. She was scarcely able to look In the light. At last she decided to go to a doctor, because sho could hardly work any more. The doctor said it was a very severe disease, and If she did not follow his orders close ly she might lose her eyesight. He made her eyes burn and applied elec tricity to them, and gave her various ointments. In the two and a half or three months that Bhe went to the doctor, we could see very little im provement. "Then we had read so much how people had been helped by Cuticura that we thought we would try it, and we cannot bo thankful enough that we uurd it. My sister used the Cuticura Pills for purifying the blood, bathed only with Cuticura Soap, and at night after washing, sho anointed her eyes very gently on the outside with the Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the swelling was entirely gone from tho eyes, and after a month there was no longer any mucus or watering of tho eyes. She could already see belter, and in six weeks sho wa3 cured."
