Take Hallos Family Pills INDIANS ARE AROUSED. Fatal Encounter BeUveen Indians and Americans Out West. Los Angeles,'Dec. 27.-Reports from Mexico say that a terrible Indian up? rising has occurred. A band of Ya? quis, one of the most ferocious tribes, attacked a number of Mexicans and Americans, resulting in a fierce en? counter. Four Americans were kill? ed. Several outbreaks are reported but details are lacking as to number of dead. (Later)-Col. H. E. Maxson, vice president National Immigration Con? gress and Secretary Board of Educa? tion at Reno, Nev., brings a graphic story from Senora, Mexico, of Indian trouble. Eight Mexicans and whites were massacred in the little town of Lancho on Saturday night. The sta? tion agent and his wife escaped from Lancho by boarding a work train. Maxson and his par? ty had not been gone from town one hour, when the band of Yaquis swooped down on the little party of Mexicans and butchered four. The station house was burned not many miles from Lancho. Four more men were massacred by wari!ka Indians. The remaining members of the com? pany refused to leave, saying they could stand off the Indians until the next day, when the R?ales would ar? rive to deal summarily with the guilty if captured.

CASTOR IA POT Infants and Children. "he Kind You Haye Always Bought Bears the Signature o? MILITIA GUARDS TOWN'S. Reports From Scooba and Wahalak Much Exaggerated. . Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 26.-Advices from Scooba and Wahalak, ?Miss., to? night state that quiet prevails at both of these towns, as well as throughout the surrounding territory and that the troops and civil authorities are in complete control of the situation. Ac? cording to the most reliable reports the disturbance of the last few days in Kemper county were not as seri? ous as at first reported. The trouble is attributed to the actions of a reek less mob, which, in searching for the negro who attacked Conductor Coop? er, aboard a Mobile and Ohio train last Sunday, and shot and killed Con? stable O'Brien of Wahalak, killed three negroes and wounded several others. Feeling against the negroes was in? tensified by the killing by negroes of Conductor R. N. Harrison of the Mo? bile and Ohio railroad at Crawford Station Monday night and in the be? lief that the mob was beyond control, Deputy Sheriff Alexander, at Scooba, asked that troops be sent there at once, so that . the innocent negroes might be protected. Two companies of State troops are now encamped at Scooba. Late this evening Gov. Var daman, accompanied by 25 members of the company of State militia stationed at Jackson, Miss., left for Scooba. Gov. Vardaman stated that there has been no fresh outbreak, but he is going to the spene in order that he may make a personal investigation. .The troops are to relive those who have been on duty for the past several days. Gov. Vardaman Goes to Scene. Jackson, Miss., Dec. 26.-Gov. Var? daman and several members of his staff left for Scooba this evening at 6 o'clock on a special train. He carried with him about 25 members of the Capital Dight Guards, under com? mand of Capt. Albert Fairley. Adju? tant General Fridge preceded him about 3 hours, going on the regular train to Meridian, where he will have a special train waiting to carry the governor and militia direct to Scoo? ba. The governor says there has been no fresh outbreaks at Scooba, but that it has been impossible for him to get any definite, news from there and he has gone over to make a per? sonal infestation, and relieve the j strain on Coi. McCar.ts' soldiers! with j fresh troops. Reports Exaggerated. Scooba, Miss., Dec. 26.-Late yes? terday indefinite reports reached this town that four negroes had been pur? sued by a posse and killed five miles east of here. It was also reported that the negroes in and around the town were in a state of unrest and trouble was feared. A telegram was sent to Gov. Vardaman at Jackson asking that troops be forwarded here from .Meridian. The governor order? ed out a company of militia and the soldiers arrived here early today. They found, however, that no trouble existed in Scooba and they are now walking about the town chatting with the citizens. The reported killing of four ne? groes yesterday, which cannot be veri? fied, was a direct outgrowth of the re? cent . trouble at Wahalak. Advices from Wahalak state that the excite? ment there has subsided and business is being carried on as usual/ William Jennings Bryan has never been a book agen, as so many other American statesmen have peen, no? tably Senator Beveridge; but he has come perilously near it, and as this incident illustrates, says the Washing? ton Herald, he would have made a good one. In a conversation in Lon? don recently with the representative of the publishing house that is bring? ing out his new book, "The World's Famous Orations," Mr. Bryan said: "My brother in Illinois once took thc agency for selling county maps down at Salem, but he could not make a go of it. He had the maps left on his hands. I took them out and sold them all in one day. Of course, when I couldn't get cash for them I took it out in groceries and other forms of legal tender peculiar to that section but I got rid of the maps at a profit." New Cure for Epilepsy. *J. B.
