Buford. an American resident of Torreon. telegraphed relatives here at S an r. M. Tuesday that the city waa quiet and that he was in no danger. Matamoras Rising; Feared. Mexican authorities are taking great precautions to cope with any uprising at Matamoras and vicinity. Matamo-as Is surrounded by a line of sentries. Guards at military quar ters. Jails and hospitals are doubled. The Fourth battalion of Infantry has replaced the Ninth battalion, which rii transferred to San Luis Potoal last week.

Chihuahua, threaten to revolt- -The Mayor f Casaa Urandes has telegraphed a request for troops, stating that the city will be In the hands of rebels If rein forcements are not received today. Virtually all the surrounding country Is In the hands of the rebels, accord ing to good authority. A train load of ten cars of soldiers arrived at Pmrral at noon and Immediately dis lodged the revolutionists from their fortified position above Farral. They fled In disorder, presumably toward Purango City. Eight rebela are re ported killed and three ruralaa were wounded. The Federal telegraph, however, re fcorta Its wire by way of Guaymas. So nor a. has been cut. supposedly by a band of Taqula. who are terrorising that part of the country. Mexican troops to the number of 100 have been rushed Into the barracka at Cananea.

Patrols have been stationed along the International line within sight of one another and to night these will be trebled with a signal system for transmitting messages. The Customs-House permits Issued to Amer ican hunters to take guns across the line have been revoked, even those given in writing by the War Depart ment, many of which are held by Amer icans of this city. Americans Offered $20- Day. The Mexican authorities have en listed American riders with horses to serve as line guards In the border pa trol. They will be paid 120, Mexican, a day. and the high price Is tempt ing more Americana to offer their serv ices. Francisco Madero. reputed leader of rebels. Is believed to be near rfla home In Coahulla. , Yesterday three bodies of revolution ists attacked the military barracks at Orizaba and liberated and armed the prisoners. The atttack was well planned and executed. The revolutionists, who num bered 300. divided their forces. A group of 100 stationed on the sum mit of a nearby hill, threw dynamite bombs into the barracks. When the soldiers fled from their quatera and harred their assailants, the other par ly attacked the prison.

LOWEIl' CALIFORNIA HOSTILE Uprising Feared by Mexican Au thorities Who Bar Ont Arms. SAN DIEGO. Cal.. Nov. ZZ. That a rising In Lower California similar to those in other parts of Mexico is feared by the Mexican authorities on the peninsula. Is strongly suggested by the fact that the customs officers guarding the line at Tia Juana today received orders that no firearms or ammunition of any kind wilt be al lowed to pass from the United States into Lower California. According to the reports, which reached the city this morning from Tia Juana. revolvers and rifles by the score have been carted Into the Interior of Lower California during the last few days. This Information, it Is said, was carried to the Governor of Lower Cali fornia at Enscnada and the sweeping order stopping all kinds of ammunition and firearms is said to have originated from the capital. In order to see that this latest order Is carried out. to the letter, an extra large force of line riders have been put on and the customs officials have been strengthened by the appointment of extra men. INTERIOR SITTATIOX SERIOCS Border Quiet Through Lack of Knott ledge or Excitement. EAGLE PAS.. Tex.. Nov. II. It was learned here from one of the highest officials In close touch with the revo lutionary movement in Mexico tonight, that fighting Is now going on In Cua tro Clenega. a large and prosperous cltv below MoncJova. This same authority, whose position prohibits his name being quoted, says the situation In Mexico Is more seri ous than at any other time for several years. Ho declares the excitement on the border Is nothing compared to what It would be If all were known of the situation In the Interior, lie says that, the officials and dtliens of Clu dad Porflrlo Dlax are expecting the worst at any time. The passenger train from the south, which Is supposed to have left Torreon yesterday afternoon, has not arrived In Cludad Porflrlo Idas, though It was due there at 11 o'clock thla morning and officials say they do not know where the train Is. Railway wires are not working. Resi dents of Eagle ra. who have rela tives In Tcireon and other points down the Mexican International line, have not been able to get word from them for three davs. Troop L. Third United States Cav alry, under command of Lieutenant Bristol, arrived" In Eagle Pass at C o'clock this afternoon and Is now un loading?. 'Another Mexican troop has lust heen ordered to Cuatro Clenagas. REBEL- DEFEAT IS FORECAST American Ambassador at Mexico Thinks TprUlngr Futile. WASHINGTON. Nov. 2. That the revolutionists In Mexico are doomed to defeat. Is the opinion of Henry Lane Wilson, the American Ambassador In the Mexican capital. From that vantage point, with ac cess to the reports received by the Mexican Government from Its military commanders and civil Governors, and with his private advices from the American consular offices at points where disturbances have occurred. Mr. Wilson has reached this conclusion. T. J. Keenan. United States Consul at Chihuahua. In a dispatch to the State Department, reported that the revolu tionists had captured three towns In the western part of the state. The Government, he addod. had called a meeting of business men for the pur pose of making plana for the defense of the city. From Eagle Pass. Lutner T. Ells worth. United States Consul at Cludad Porflrlo Diaz, verified the press dis patches that the revolutionists had tsken Gomes Palacln. which later was recaptured bv the Government forces. KOZER'S JOB UNSAFE? GOVERNOR CAN REMOVE INSUR ANCE COMMISSIONER. Chamberlain Allowed Benson to Ap point, and on Tills Ground Koxcr May Keep His Tlac. SALEM. Or.. Nov. ZZ. (Special.) Al though Insurance Commissioner Sam Kozer's appointment, which was made by Governor . Frank W. Penson. Is not supposed to expire until 1913. a "Joker" In the bill creating the office probably mrm.ni that his official head will fall with the new administration. The law gtvea the Governor power of appointment for this office, and speak ing of removal before the expiration of the appointee's time, says: "The Gov ernor may at any time remove such Commissioner from office for Ineffi ciency or malfeasance or when In his Judgment the good of the service re quires It. "In case of my removal under thla act. the action of the Governor shall be absoute and not subject to any re peal or review whatsoever. While Oswald West's attitude In re lation to retaining Mr. Koxer haa not been made public under the act aa It stands It Is plain that It was originally drawn up for manipulation of a politi cal execution. The Insurance Commissioner's law was put through the session of 1909 under peculiar circumstances. It originally ap peared with an emergency clause tacked on. but this emergency clause waa voted down both In the House and Senate. In some inexplicable manner it appeared at the office of the Secretary of State with the emergency clause still clinging to the bllL Whether It wss the same clause resurrected or whether It was a new clause, born In some out of the way place, has never been satisfactorily de termined. But at the time that the bill was passed George Chamberlain waa still Governor. Use of the emergency clause was not Immediately exercised, however, for another Inexplicable reason and the appointment was finally made by Governor Benson after necessity of such a clause had gone by. It la thought possible that West.- when assuming the reins of office, will show the same consideration to Benson's ap pointees that Benson did to Chamber. Iain's and that Koser will be allowed to remain in office until the finish of his term in 1913 at least. City Settles Light Dispute. Claims against the city of 1:9.500 and Interest that have been held by the Portland Railway. Light & Power Co, alnce ex-Mayor Lane refused pay ment to the company were settled by Mayor Simon yesterday for K0.0O0. the city also paying the company the In terest It has obtained by investing the money In Improvement bonds. The money In question baa been held In a separate fund since the Mayor refused payment. TAPT RETURNS, IS J In Trip From Panama, Vessel Hits Severe Storm Colli sion Barely Averted. CANAL PROGRESS PLEASES At Old Confederate Capital, Presi dent Attends Reception, and This Morning Will Dine With Governor Mann. RICHMOND. Va.. Nov. 22.-Landlng from the armored cruiser Tennessee at Fort Monroe this afternoon on his re turn from a visit to Panama. President Taft came to Richmond tonight to be the guest of the citizens of the old con federate capital for 24 hours. The trip up from Panama was filled with incident. On Fridsy night last, about 140 mllea south of Guantanamo, Cuba, the Tennessee narrowly averted a collision with a German training ship supposed to be the Freya. A heavy squall had shut in around the Presiden tial squadron, the weather being so thick that tho steamer could hardly see a ship's length ahead. The storm was brief and as it cleared the German ship was cutting directly across the Tennessee's bows, not a quarter of a mile away. The helm of the Tennessee was put hard over. The Freya continued on her course. There was no exchange of signals. Vessel Hits Severe Storm. On Saturday the President spent three hours at Guantanamo, looking over the American naval base. The territory vis ited by Mr. Taft la under American sov ereignty. Monday morning brought the only dis agreeable weather of the voyage. Off the north coast of Florida the Presidential cruisers ran Into the tall end of a cy clonic disturbance. Speed was reduced to almost nothing for a time, hatches were battered down and ventilators and all other gear lashed to the decks. The height of the storm waa passed about 3 A. M. and the sea did not moderate until well toward noon. The Mexican situation Is still being v.,t.,i hi.n Kv tho State Depart ment at Washington. Mr. Taft has had but meager details. I Canal Situation Gratifying. The President is deeply gratified over conditions In Panama. The canal la taking form rapidly, and ite final completion Is not being looked upon by the Executive with the slightest degree of doubt. Mr. Taft has absolute faith In Colonel Ooethals. the chief engineer, and the members of his staff. His personal Inspection of the Gatun dam. the two flights of locks and the Culebra cut greatly Impressed the President, and he declared that If all American cltixens could see theBe great works there would be no longer any misgivings as to the future of the canal. Taft dined thla evening at the Westmoreland Club and later held an Informal reception at the Common wealth Club. Tomorrow the President will break fast with Governor Mann at the Execu tive Mansion, will motor over some of the battlefields surrounding Richmond, will be entertained at luncheon and will epeak In the afternoon to the Vir ginia Educational Conference. The President will reach Washington at 8:35 tomorrow night. t COURT MAY BE INCREASED State Capitol Employes Hear Talk of More Supreme Judges. SALEM. Or., Nov. 23. (Special.) Passaae of the three-fourths Jury amendment, which amends Article VII of the constitution, allows an unlimited number of Justices on the Supreme bench, and several rumora were afloat at the Capitol today as to the action of the next Legislature in rcforence to Increasing the number of Justices from five to seven. With the court a year behind In Its work and with the new amendment practically inviting an increase of Judges by not even Inferring the num ber that should act. It la said a move la already on foot to attempt to In crease the number by at least two. In event such should be done with the emergency clause attached, it would give the next Governor. Oswald West, power to appoint two Democratic Justices If he saw fit, and a bare pos sibility that Justices King and Slater might serve further terms on the bench.

Eckert. long president of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The crowd around the Roman Catholic Church.

He said he was not going on any extended honeymoon, as he had to stay in New Tork to defend a con- RICHMOND LET YOUR STOMACH HAVE ITS OWN WAY. Do yot Try to Drive and Force It to Work Whea It la yot Able or You Will Suffer All the Mere. Tou cannot treat your stomach as some men treat a balky horse; force, drive or even starve it Into doing work at which It rebels. The stomach is a patient and faithful servant and will stand much abuse and ill-treatment be fore It "balks." but when It does you had better go slow with It and not at tempt to make It work. Some people have the mistaken Idea that they can make their stomachs work by starving themselves. They might cure the stomach that way, but It would take so long that they would have no use for a stomach when they got through. The sensible way out of the difficulty Is to let the stomach rest If It wants to and employ a substitute to do Its work. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do the work of your stomach for you and digest your food Just as your stomach used to when It was well. You can prove this by putting your food In a glass Jar with one of the tablets and sufficient water and you will aee the food digested In Just the eame time as the digestive fluids of the stomach would do it. That will satisfy your mind. Now. to satisfy both your mind and body take one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after eating eat all and what you want and you will feel in your mind that your food is being digested because you will feel no dis turbance or weight in your stomach: in fact, you will forget all about having a etomach. Just aa you did when you were a healthy boy or girl. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act In a natural way because they contain only the natural elements of the gastric Juices and other digestive fluids of the stomach. It makes no difference what condition the stomach Is in, they go right ahead of their own accord and do their work. They know their busi ness and surrounding conditions do not influence them in the least. They thus relieve the weak stomach of all Ita burdens and give it Its much-needed rest and permit It to become strong and healthy. . Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents a They are eo well known and their popularity is so great that a druggist would as soon think of being out of alcohol or quinine as of them. In fact, physicians are prescribing them all over the land, and If your own doctor is real honest -with you, he will tell you frankly that there Is nothing on earth so good for dyspepsia as Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets. test of his father's will, brought by his brother, James. James Eckert al leges that his brother used undue In fluence on their father. Mrs. Eckert, the bride, was at one time a domestic In the household of General Eckert.
