 Republican,: Something happened last night which was calculated to make one hold the human race in contempt. A woman with two little boys came up town and failing in company with man went away with him to have sociable time drinking beer. The little boys were left sit- ting on a bench in the plaza. The older of the two started out in search of his unworthy mother and, giving up the hunt, stood on a street corner crying. He was picked up, turned over to Marshal Hooker and was given shelter in the city jail The younger child was later found asleep in the park. The Salvation Army took charge of him.

 Globe Belt: Supervisor J B. Free man came in from his home on Salt river yesterday for supplies and re- turned this morning. He informed
 us that the heavy snowstorm in De- cember, aud rain since, has greatly improved conditions and the valley is already putting on mantle of green. The prospect for grain and grass is excellent. Another benefit which the snowstorm did was to kill of many of the quail and other birds which were numerous and so destruc- tive that they were rapidly depicting the farmers stocks of grain.

No sooner had the news of the large strike in their mines reached him, than he remembered his promise and offered to purchase and present to the Bisbee baseball club, through your correspondent, an entire new outfit composed of twelve of the best Spalding League suits. The offer was graciously accepted and the suits will arrive here about the 2Oth. Our club has adopted the name for their nine as The Copper Kings"

The manu- facturer wants to try one out here; the Santa Fe will aid him in transpor- tation, and if they work successfully. and they need them they won't order, for they will have no occasion to haul passengers to the canon in automo- piles.
