Feb. li.-Amld the wild est cheering and cries of "Viva Dias. viva Navarro," General Navarro at the head of 1.009 federal troops from Chihuahua entered Juares last evening. The entire trip, consuming twelve days, waa made by train with it the firing of a shot or sighting the revtlutlonlsts. Navarro, during the trlt, was compelled to repair twenty-five bridges and culverts which bad been blown up or wrecked by the insurrcetos. The arrival marks the end of the Juares campaign. Orosco and the other rebel chiefs , are scattered esst and south of here. It Is Impossible to conjecture what will be the next move on either side. An hour after Ms arrival. General Nav arro was escorted to the custom house, ! where tbe Taft-Dlai meeting occurred. Here he received members of Colonel Ra bago's staff and cttliens generally, among them a number of women. Ve appeared rugged and hearty. Since tha beginning of the campaign he has raised a full set of white whiskers. His first official act was to write' a telegram to President Dlas reporting his entry Into Juares. Jaarary Wlthoat -Incident. Colonel Cullar, aide-de-camp to President Diss and a member of General Navarro's staff, said the trip from Chihuahua, a dis tance of 200 miles, had been made without unusual Incident. He declined to be Inter viewed, saying: "It Is against order for officers to give out Information. The press has used us very badly, you know." Two hundred Insurrectos were at Guad eloupe today, where tha new capital had been established. Orosco was at Samalay auca this afternoon, but he had decamped when Navarro arrived. The federal troops traveled on two trains, preceded by a construction train. Their arrival was almost without warning. There have been so many false rumors of hla ad vent that little attention was paid to re ports this afternoon tha he would be In this evening. Inaarrertoa Lose Hope, The Insurrectos are downhearted tonight. Orosco has accomplished nothing since ths Insurrection began three months ago, save to depress business. The Juares campaign has been a miserable fiasco. Even ths leaders of the Junta admit - this. Had Orosco proceeded with energy and taken Jaures, ss he might have a week ago, the moral effect would have been great and no doubt would have added much to his atrength In the way of recruits snd arms. Many Mexicans working In the United States awaited the taking of Juares as a slgnsl to Join actively in the movement. The capital, Guadaloupe, is far from permanent. It Is on wheels and will be moved upon tha approach of a federal force. Driven from the border. It Is now believed Oroxco must retreat to Casas Grandea again. It Is said he cannot even threaten the city of Chihuahua, for there Is a garri son Of 1,000 troops defending the place.

Judge Has Girl Ride Horse to Decide if It's Unmanageable Bismarck Adjourns Court to Have a Hone Tried Out on Six teenth Street Judge William Altstadt entertslned an Interested" audience Wednesday when he held an out-of-doors session of court, a part of which consisted Of a very pretty' alrl riding a supposedly unruly horse along Sixteenth street between Farnaro and Douglas. The case the Judge was deciding was that of Captain W. Kiddle of the Sal vation Army against one Louis Summers, and consisted of a divergence of opinion as to who was the right ana lawful owner of one brown horse. As fsr as could b determined from the tsngled evidence entered st Judge Alt stadt's court the horse had two of these same right and lawful owners, but another question aroso in the course of ths trial. Was or was not the horse vicious? The question waa met by "Little Bis marck" in his usual definite manner. The only way in which to tell whether that horse was unruly, and perhaps unmanage able by a woman was to have a woman ride him. 8o said, so done. A pretty girl clerk wss obtained, who averred that unruly horses were her fear and dread, but in the cause of Justice she would do anything. Forthwith she mounted the horse and it must tie admitted that nothing meeker than that said equine specl man was ever seen on the streets of Omsha. The only thing that would have frightened him would have been the fear of losing a feed. The "schudge" and his entire court snd all the witnesses wero present to look on the riding episode and from the crowd that appeared, bystanders appreciated the sight also.
