ROB IN A POLITE WAY.
Polite Highwaymen Relieve Chicago
 Woman of Her Purse

Chicago, Feb. That a man can be robber and still be gentlemanly was clearly proved by the experience of Mrs. Mary Fischer of 463 Iowa street at Canal and Lake streets last evening. Mrs Fischer was waiting for car when two men approached her.
 T beg your pardon, madam" said q very dangerouA neighborhood and you are likely to be robbed"
 Mrs. Fischer thanked him for the warning and thought the men ex- tremely kind when they offered to hold three packag ges which she carried She gave one of them the bundles and then as her car came along allowed them to assist her aboard. As she stepped upon the platform, however, one of the men seized her purse containing $9 and then ran along Canal street with his com paniOn, who carried the bundles.
 The car started away with Mrs Fischer screaming for help on the rear platform. Before the police arrived all trace Of the rCbbe-s had been lost Some time after the robbery two men were arretsed by the Desplain tsreet police on suspicion of having commit ted the theft. They have not been Identified by Mrs. Fischer.

GOOD ROADS AND SCHOOLS.

There are two things which eastern immigrants give especial consideration to when a change of residence is con templated-the school houses and the roads. These are conditions which in nine cases out of ten determine loca- tion. The county which cannot afford schools and good roads is allowed to pass into the possession of men who want neither. It may easily be demon strated that if the wear and tear of ve- hicles. and if the term of a horses use ful life, are considered, a city makes an immense saving by the smooth pavement. The expense for repairs may be greater, but the life of a ve- hicle or of a horse is more than dau- bled. The same rule applies to coun- try roads. They come high, but in these days they are a necessity. Good roads make life in the country more enjoyable, to say nothing Of the ma-- ket they open to farmers. This is form of improvement which can often be paid for in work. A considerable portion of the cost may be met by utilizing idle time.-San Francisco Bull letin

MEDICAL CONFERENCE
Close of inc Session of inc
 Arizona Association.
Changes In inc Manner of inc Gov ernmenf of inc Society and 8 Revision of inc Territorial r1edi- Cal Law Urgently Recommended

The eighth annual session of the Ar izona Medical association was con- cluded yesterday afternoon. On ac- count Of the consumption of time in routine work on the first day of the session so much was left to be done that none of the papers were read eX- cept by title, so that no part of this feature of the programme was carried out except the delivery of the presi- dents address and the annual essay by Dr. Ancil Martin
 The abolishment of the judicial council was recommended, providing for the election of officers hereafter from the floor of the house. This change was suggested by the exciting incidents of the first day.
 The afternoon session was occupied by discussion of proposed changes i'll the law governing the medical board Dr. Dufheld moved a recOmmenda- tion that in the future applicants for admission to practice be required to take the examination before major ity Of the members of the board rep Iesenting all the schools, and that the applicants be required to take an eX- animation according to all these schools in all branches of the profes- sion except theory and practice, which he might elect.
 The discussion was joined by all the members present without the develop ment of a variety of opinion.
 Dr. D. M. Purman, who has been president of the board since it's crea- tion and who enjoys the highest conf dence Of the brother practitioners spoke at greatest length upon the work of the board the operation of the pres ent law and the need of revision
 He said of all the unpleasant duties of his life he found his work as mem Der of the board the most undesirable People who did not understand but who should know better, had heaped the most unmerited abuse upon the earnest efforts of the board to elevate and improve the standing of the pro- fessiCn in Arizona. He said to reject an applicant was so disagreeable to him that he was sure his errors had all been in allowing incompetent men to come in rather than in keeping competent ones out; and that if he had any regret it was ill being too lenfent towards physicians who had not shown qualifications to scientif- cally practice medicine He said as far as he was individually concerned he did not care how many quacks came

FOR PHPAGO COUNTY
Friends of inc PolifiCaf Division
 Hard af Work for it.

The proposed new county of Papago 1 is well represented at the capitol at present Col. w. P Harlow and Ed ward Titcomb of Nogales and J. $. i Tebbetts of Washington Camp. super intendent of the Duquesna Mining company are here to see that the bill for the new county gets a showing be- fore the legislature. They are all three hustlers and if the opponents Of the bill want to defeat it they will have to get to work in earnest, as against these men. Speaking last night of the proposed county and why it should be created, Colonel Harlow said:
 ''The people of NOgales, and in fact of all southern Pima county are in favor of county division. They are unanimous for it, tCo. Why in Nc gales l do not know Of but one vot ar in all the town who is opposed to the new county, and he is one of those men who opposes every thing that IS progressive. At the mining camps all along the border the residents favor 8 new county. Within the bounds of the proposed county we are paying taxes on an assessed valuation of over one million dollars and have been paying on that amount for number Of years. Not a cent has been spent to make better roads nor for any other purpose. The treasurer and tax collector never comes to the south to collect taxes, and 1 dare say that within the last twenty years there has not been enough money expended by Pima county within the boundaries of the proposed county of Papago to buy you a new hat
 ''If 1 have a motion to make in court at Tucson it costs me $10.30 railroad fare to go to the court house at the county seat to make it. If a resident of Nogales is summoned as a witness in a criminal case it costs him the same amount for railroad fare to at tend court besides his hotel expenses while there and for this cheering duty he is not allowed cent. Thus you can readily see the drain it is upon the people of the southern part of Pima county.
 thoroughly yesterday upon the subject and believe I am safe in saying that fully two-thirds Of the business men of that city are in favor of the new county being cut off. At present the cost of the county government is enor- nous. For instance. a crime/of any character is committed down along the DOIu0I west u 4NOSdl0S anu lIl5 SI1GllI1 has to travel 130 miles to get his pris- oner. For mileage the sheriff collects 30 cents a mile. so you can see what this means to the county. It's a nice thing for the sheriff, but is not good for the taxpayers or for the inducing of desirable immigration. 1 believe that with the division. the two cOun ties could be run for less money than it now costs to run Pima county

New York, Feb. 1.-The big copper trust is now actually in process of formation.

 There are now locked up in safe deposit vault in Boston eighteen cer- tif1cates, standing in the names of three men, which represent the con trOI Of about ten of the important cop per mines of the country. One of these is H. H. Rogers, who represents the Rockefellers in many of their un- dertakings. It is understood that the ether two are Albert s. BigelOw or Boston and Levy Mayer, well-known lawyer in Chicago, who has figured in many trust deals. These certifcates are to be turned over to the Miners Copper company, which will act as trustee and in turn transfer the in terest to other new companies, the control of which it will retain.

Half an hour later the door of the bin swung open and the men and women saw him emerge, his face pale and his eyes bulging A red line was across his throat and he gasped for breath as he staggered toward the nearest window. The next instant he had plunged into space.
 It is stated by friends that the secret at which Brown hinted in the note was that he had another wife in the east, from whom he had repeatedly tried in vain to get a divorce.

 It's a pity that people haven't better understanding of this matter, said a society authority tonight. We do not forsake our friends bectu5e they fail to agree with their wives CT husbands. Mrs. Sloane has as many friends as she ever had. Mrs. Sloane has nearly recovered from her recent illness and will go out again as usual She will be welcomed everywhere, eX- cept in certain families that have ar rayed themselves on the side of MT.
