The big locomotive was. lifted from the ditch Saturday and was on the false track when it gave way. The wrecked engine rolled in the ditch two feet farther than it was.

The high school alumni association is planning for the annual banquet and the finance committee held a meeting last evening and appointed members for the collection of dues from former graduates. This is something that should not be neglected by the alumni. The dues are small and their accumulation enables the committee to carry out the annual banquets successfully and cements together the friendships formed during school days. The work of keeping up a roster of members, with their names, occupations and addresses is no small task and all should help in the spirit of the season by cheerfully complying with the payment of dues.

Rheumatism means nothing more nor less than that your kidneys do not work properly. Tour blood passes through the kidneys hundreds of times a day to bo filtered and purified. When the kidneys are weak, the poisons are not taken out of the blood as they should be. This leads to various diseases. such as rheumatism, terrible Bright’s disease, diabetes, dropsy and bladder trouble. The new guaranteed treatment Is Dr. Derby’s Kidney Pills. One day’s use of them will prove their remarkable effect. M. T. Ridenour of Linn, Ohio, says: "When I feel bad in my back. I Just take a couple of Derby’s Kidney Pills and get immediate relief."

MADERO MAKES JAUREZ PROVISIONAL CAPITAL.

Federal Troops Surrender after Fierce Fighting and Next Step May Be Toward City of Mexico. Juarez, May 10. —This little bulletriddled city tonight is the provisional capital of Mexico and Francisco I. Madero, Jr., provisional president and his staff have taken complete possession after winning the bloodiest batr tie of the Mexican revolution. In a corner room of the barracks, which for two days held out against the terrific fire of the rebels, sits Gen. Juan J. Navarro, the federal commander, a captive, having surrendered today with almost his entire garrison of several hundred men. His sallow face is sunken, his head is bowed and he does not talk, for the bitter sting of defeat has disheartened him. In contrast in another part of the town is Francisco I. Madero, Jr., the conqueror, surrounded by members of his family and his staff, joyous, exultant and flushed with victory, yet ready, he says, to make peace with the Mexican government if it is disposed to deal frankly and sincerely with the revolutionists, and without such vaque promises as “President Diaz’s manifesto contains.” In hotel lobbies, store fronts and hallways, the improvised hospitals of the battlefield, are scores of wounded, attended by a host of physicians and nurses from El Paso, who have volunteered medical relief. The floors of the Porflrio Diaz hotel, where thirty wounded lay tonight, are covered with blood and gore-soaked clothing. “The fortunes of war,” mumbled an insurrecto soldier in Spanish tonight, as he stood with tears in his eyes'over the body of a federal soldier whom he had known for years. All the dead are being buried tonight. A conservative estimate by physicians as well as of Insurrecto leaders who surveyed the fighting puts the federal dead at nearly fifty and the rebel loss at about fifteen with a total of nearly fifty wounded on both sides. The actual number lost probably never will be known as desertions were many and the dead have been buried quickly. The actual surrender of the town by General Navarro took place about 1 o’clock, General Navarro giving his sword to Colonel Garibaldi, of the insurrecto army, after the rebels had captured the barracks and refused to annihilate the garrison within. _ His eyes dimmed with tears, Colonel Garibaldi spoke his admiration for the brave fight the federal leader had made, assuring him the desire of the rebels to afford him every courtesy. A score of rebel officers rode up and extended to the federal commander their sympathy as Mexicans for him and his men. There is the same fraternal sentiment tonight in the hearts of the entire insurrecto army for their countrymen who have been defeated, but everywhere are heard words of opprobium for President Diaz, whom they hold responsible for the loss of life and the suffering of the wounded. It is doubtless the intention of Madero to carry on an active campaign and unless President Diaz takes steps to quell the rebellion, the papers indicate that thousands from the state of Chihauhau will join the insurrectos and urge an attack on the Mexican capital, the city of Mexico. In a signed statement Madero proves himself to be a statesman as well as a soldier and he is said to have demanded for the federal captives every consideration, thus showing a humane spirit that will win for him many friends in the United States as well as in his own country.

FAILURE TO PAY SIOO MEANS LOT FORFEITURE. Directors of Declare Contracts Invalidated Unless That Sum Has Been Paid. The, directors of the Rensselaer Commercial Club met Wednesday evening and adopted a resolution forfeiting all lot contracts on which the buyers have not paid |IOO. This was the plan practically determined upon, several weeks ago, when a notice of the action was published and notices

to that effect were sent to all contract holders. The club took no farther step at this time, but it is probable that all who have paid more than |IOO will be rebated and then that some plan will be agreed upon for the sale of the addition as a whole and a refunding to lot owners or the land will be subdivided among the members who have hung on up to the SIOO point. No action can probably meet the approval of all members, but the directors are proceeding cautiously and hope to close up the matter in as amicable and equitable a manner as possible. 1 Don’t use harsh physics.
