bade the publication of the number and disposition of the state guardsmen, but it can be stated that New England forces were the first to reach the border. The arrival of the militia was preceded by the coming of thirty officers to prepare camp sites and report their strength and equipment to General George Bell. Jr., commander at Ft. Bliss. Select Camp Sites. The first camp site already has been selected by the regular army officrs. It was pitched within easy rifle range of Ft. Bliss, on a stretch of gaunt land where the sun beats its hottest and the suffocating wind rrom the hills Is the only relief during the blistering day. The regulars who turned out to watch with a paternal and perhaps a twinkling eye the arrival of guardsmen were surprised at the spirit of their younger bthers in arms. Although the desert sun was early at its scorching work, the militiamen swung along uncomplaining under full packs with rifles correctly aslant and anxious for service. Plans for invasion. With the arrival of the militia the plans for the invasion of Mexico by another expedition marching through Juarez may be said to be near completion and their fulfillment rests only with the command from Washington. With the full force of militiamen assigned to this district here, there will be ample protection for the border points in the El Paso district and the maintaining of a patrol that will strengthen weak points all along the border. - The first of the militia officers, who arrived last night, took up temporary headquarters at El Paso hotels, but they showed that they were not going to attempt to continue the "soft" existence when they turned out at daybreak and joined their men in camp. Today the hotel headquarters will disappear and the militiamen will come under the same general order as the regular army officers strictly within the boundaries of their camps ready for instant action.

GREEN MAKES ANR TO GATES' GHALLE

J. D. Green of East Germantown has submitted the following: Replying to the challenge sent out by Mr. Oran Cates will say, if he can't beat forty-eight inch corn in fifty six days on his Green township land, he should come over , into Jackson township where he would be able to make a real live record. We can't accept his challenge as to a field of corn, as we have only a breeding plot out this year; but we are willing to challenge any one In Wayne and adjoining counties, and ask them to beat our forty-one day corn. ' The corn in question was planted May 18, and had Its third cultivation on June 2S. Apart from some that has had too much shade it is pretty uniform. We measured corn in the plot today that is sixty-seven inches high (blades up.) We think that six-ey-seven inches in forty-one days has forty-eight inches in fifty-six days beaten to a finish. Of course Mr. Cates understands that the variety cuts some figure, but not so much as the quality of the soil, and we have that over here. In fact, we very much doubt if our soil could be equalled between the Dead sea and the mouth of the Jordan. We pride ourselves on having soil strong enough if properly applied, to grow a full crop of hair on a bald head. (Front row patrons of variety shows please take notice.) This is a New York corn, Long Champion, and has been grown on this land for the past seven years. Ears and stalks have been placed on exhibition in Cambridge City, and have not been equalled. Jackson township will lay down when beaten but we're from Missouri. Sixty-seven Inches in forty-one days may have the ear marks of the fish tales distributed by our good friends, E. J. Neff and L. A. Handley, but we have proof as to date of planting, and the corn is here to speak for itself. DRASTIC ACTS AVERTED. The local carpenter's union has threatened drastic action with its members who after noon today do not stop working on jobs on which nonunion men are employed. It was the expression of one of the carpenters this afternoon that he thought almost all the men had complied with the demands of the union and that' no trouble would result. COURT TAKES HOLIDAY. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., July 1. The supreme court of Indiana today began its vacation, caught up with its work for the first time in twenty years. It usually has been two or three weeks behind.
