Americans and Mexicans In
a Shooting Affray.
three of Former and Two of
Latter Killed.
The Maya Indians Make More
Trouble For the Govern
ment of Mexico.
OAXACA, Mexico, Feb. 28. Informa
tion has readied here of a shooting nffray
which occurred at I'llares on Washing
ton's birthday in which three Americans
and five Mexicans were killed. It seems
that a friendly feeling had existed in
Pllares, and in order to do honor to the
United States it was arranged on Feb.
22 to raise the (lags of the two republics
together on the flngstalT.
The Mexicans had charge of the affair,
and raised the American tlag above the
Mexican flag, to the complete satisfac
tion of the. Americans. But when the
Americans showed so much appreciation
of the act the Mexicans found they had
made a mistake and decided to lower nnd
rehoist the flag, with the Mexican flag
on top. Then the Americans declared
such a transaction would be an insult to
the United States flag.
Superintendent Dan forth told the Mex
icans that they would hare to shoot him
before they could haul down the Ameri
can flag. The Americans said that the
flags should have been hoisted properly
iu the first place. The Mexicans were
about to mob Danforth when Charles
Hogsett, who was with the rough riders
in Cuba, Interposed with a six shooter in
each hand. Firing from both sides im
mediately began. Hogsett was killed In
stantly. John Evans and Dick Ilea, two
other Americans, were wounded mortal
ly. But the Americans held the flag
pole, and both flags floated through the
Jay. Five Mexicans were killed, and the
dance, which was to have followed, was
n failure, as no Mexicans attended, and
there were less than half a dozen Ameri
cans in condition for dancing.
Information has reached the military
authorities here of desperate righting be
tween thv government troops and the
Maya Indians during the last seven days.
Fighting began on Feb. 21, when a force
of about (IH) Indians nttacked a regiment
if General Bravo's troops between Sa
han nnd Okop. The battle lasted several
hours and resulted in only slight losses
to the government forces. Five soldiers
were killed and 2 otlicers and 15 soldiers
were wounded. The Indians retreated
to their intrenchments, carrying with
them more than 100 killed and wounded.
On the following day another brisk
skirmish was brought about by an ad
vance detachment of government troops
Attempting to reconnoiter the position of
the Indians. Three Mexicans were kill
ed in that fight. On Feb. 25 a force of
fully 1,200 Mayas attacked the outposts
of the government troops and, after driv
ing in the sentries, a desperate attack
was made on the intrenchments. The
Indians were armed with Krag-Jorgen-iens,
which they had obtained from
"raders, and they poured a hot fire into
:he Mexican camp. Several pieces of
'ight artillery were brought into use by
the Mexicans, and the rebels were
Iriven back. It is believed that the In
dian losses were heavy. Ten Mexican
oldiers were wounded and one killed.
The Indians have established their
nain camp in an almost impenetrable
'orest. They have free communication
vith the people of British Honduras,
vho are said to be in sympathy with
beir cause.

A GRAVEYARD PROMOTER.
Am Enterprttlnar Mlsaaorlaa Who Ilna
Ilecome a Plutocrat In the
Ilua I ii ess.
"You eastern people are not the only
enterprising inhabitants of the globe,"
said an enthusiastic man in a New York
business house, according to the Sun
of that city. "I have a neighbor
In Temiscot county, my state, Missouri,
who is a sort of plutocrat in graveyards.
Some years ago he opened a tombstone
factory in his part of the state, and as
he marked down the price, he had quite
J a boom in his business. In a short time
there was a monument or headstone
at every grave in the cemetery, and as
live people do not buy tombstones, this
man's business was hit by what your
Wall street folks call a flurry. What
does he do but go to another town not
far away and buy a graveyard of his
own, nnd put down the price of lots.
This caused quite a cemetery loom un
til all the lots were disposed of. As
' soon as some of the people began to die
i the enterprising tombstone dealer wns
ngnin in the whirl, or, ns my old friend
i Wilbur F. Storey was wont to say of his
paper, on the top crest of the advanc
ing wave. In a year or so he had every
grave In the cemetery mnrked with his
goods, and another thud hit his busi
ness. But he rallied, went to another
town, invested in another graveyard
site, and manipulated this scheme as he
had the others, nnd with like results.
"That makes three cemeteries he has
started, filled nnd marked, nnd the last
time I saw him he told me he was look
ing for another. He is now known as a
graveyard promoter."
Tomb of the Csari,
It is not generally known that the
remains of nil the czars of Russia since
Peter the Great lie in a memorial chapel
built on one of the islands of the Neva".
All the cenotaphs are exactly alike, each!
being a block of white mnrble, without
any decoration whatever.
HOW THEY SAVED THEIR HOME.
They started their new happy life of love
and hope together in a trim-bright-tinted
little house that stood back upon a terraced
lawn. A smooth path led to the bmad
" stoop " and hospitable piazza. The long
sweep of roof, the wide-curving "bays"
and the little western turret with ciricl
windows bespoke ample room'and light and
air and gorgeous sunsets.
O, how they loved that little home ! He
was industrious, frugal, ambitions ; she a
tender wife with a heart full of devotion ;
and both of them determined at any cost
of struggle or sacrifice to earn and pay for
this cherished dwelling place, and. possess
it as their very own j a cosey nest in days
of sunshine, a refuge in time of trouble, a
fireside, a home.
HOW TROUBLE CAME.
At first it seemed smooth sailing. He
was glad to work over-time, and she being
deft with needle and scissors helped the
neighbors with their gowns. In such
ways a few dollars were added to the
small, home-making fuud. Day after day,
early and late, they earnestly planned and
toiled, never realizing that they were going
beyond their strength, until the little break
downs began to come.
Many a morning he would rise with his
head feeling as he expressed it, "like a
lump of lead," and no stomach for the
dainty breakfast she had prepared. "(),
you must eat 1 " she would exclaim anxi
ously, "You can never work without it."
And all the time trying to smile, she would
pass her band lightly across her own fore
head as if to brush away the pain that
snapped and darted underneath.
Then came days when he could neither
eat nor work at all ; when his sight was
blurred and dizzy, his limbs weighted
down as if with shackles ; his whole body
full of sickness and nausea and distaste
of living, and his mind dark with dismal
forebodings. Describing this terrible time
afterward be said to a friend :
" What troubled me most was that I
could not understand what was the matter
with me. The doctors said it was con
sumption ; they did me no good. I knew
something was killing me by inches.
Finally I had to give up and go to bed. I
could hardly lift my head off the pillow.
My brother wanted to write to Dr. I'ierce
of Buffalo, and brought 'me three bottles
of bis ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and
begged me to take it I didn't have much
faith but said to my wife :
"What's the use? The doctors don't
help me a bit and nothing else will. At
this rate I'll die anyway. This ' Discovery '
can 't hurt me ; it may help me ; I '11 try these
three bottles just- to please Jim. He was
right too. The first bottle went straight to
ray digestion and gave me an appetite so I
relished my food. I felt as if every mouth
ful was doing me good and making good
blood in my veins. I began to feel better
and pick up my flesh; my' bowels came
around right snd I guess my liver sort of
waked up. My cough stopped. I got good
and strong and in four weeks I was back at
work again like a man."
" ' .. HOW TROUBLE WENT AWAY.
"My wife never let on how miserable
she was feeling all the while; when I
found it out I made her take the 1 Discov
ery ' too and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip.
tion for her nerves, and she says she's just
made over new again. I sent for his great
' Medical Adviser.' It's the grandest book
you ever saw. If we'd had it before, we
would haye saved hundreds of dollars.'
Then came new hopes, new plans, new
power and fresh achievements. The little
home in time became their very own,
earned and paid for by the erstwhile
nerveless hands and brain now restored to
. vigor and activity by the most remarkable
life-renewing "Discovery" that medical
science has ever revealed to man. And
when at length a sweet, freBh little life
came to bless their lives, they felt that
happiness was complete.
This is a true story and it cannot be told
too often or too strongly. What this great
" Discovery " did for this man, it has done
for thousand of men and women in every
corner of this Union, and in every civilized
country on the globe.
The r' Golden Medical Discovery " is sold
by all good dealers in medicines every
