MEXICAN BATTLERS CHANGE WAR ZONE

Villa Commander Agrees to Withdraw His Besiegers from Border and Eliminate Menace. Consular Agent Carothers telegraphed the state department Sunday that Governor Afaytorena, commander of the Villa forces besieging General Till’s garrisan at Naco, Sonora, was preparing to withdraw his troops to a point ttn or twelve miles from the border to eliminate the possibility of further fighting in the American territory. General Bliss, in command of the artillery infantry and cavalry concentrated about Naco, Ariz., to enforce the American government’s demand that firing across the line cease, reported Sunday that Maytorena apparently had withdrawn.

All Railroads Getting Ready To Charge for Baggage.

Rumors emanating from reliable sources are to the effect that the railroads of the country are considering charging for each and every piece of baggage carried in their baggiage cars regardless of weight. Some roads favor a general fee for checking baggage, reducing the fee allowance from 150 to 50 pounds. With the recent raise to two and onehaltf cents per mile as the interstate rate and the proposed extra change for baggage the great mass of travelers will be considerably asJeetpd. As a defense ifor the plan it is said that baggage now carried by passengers, maintain baggage ■agents, keep extensive records and a general expenditure is made an ‘ nually. to accommodate a free service.

Representative Wood Attended Republican State Conference.

Republicans who are to be members of the general assembly which will convene the first of the year met in Indianapolis Saturday in response to a request from State ' Chairman Hays. W. L. Wood, of | Parr, representative-elect of White ; and Jasper counties, was present. The republicans decided not to be obstructionists in legislation, that is, not to oppose measure# simply because they are democratic. Three important developments wee: ' ~ 1. To quite generally oppose the staewfde primary elecion law to which the democratic party standsl pledged. 2. Tiie republicans will accept the result of the last election as proof that the platform it advocated met general approval. It favored a constitutional convention. 3. Bills to retrench taxes will be offered by republicans, but the policy of retrenchment will not be extreme. For any pain, burn, scald or bruise, apply Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil—the household remedy.
