LOCAL POSTAL SERVICE
Rural Free Delivery and Extension
 of Corner Routes.

Among the improvements 10 be eX- pected in the local postal service in the near future are extensions in the car rier service and the inauguration of two or more rural free delivery routes
 Postmaster McClintock said yester- day that a large addition would be made to the carrier district on October lst. A carrier wagon will be put on at that time to cover BrilIs addition, the University addition, the western part of the Capitol addition. and such other suburbs as have not been heretofore provided for.
 Applications for the establishment of two rural free delivery routes have been made and the applications are now in the hands of the superintendent of the rural free delivery system at San Francisco. It is confidently expected that they will be favOrably acted upon and that the service will begin on No vember 1st. At the earliest possible date the superintendent will detail an inspector to come here and look over the situation that the superintendent may act adVisedly. One of these routes will cover the district east and north east of Phoenix and the other will serve the section directly west of the city It is also believed that third route may be secured by application and proper petition to accommodate the sec ton -north of Phoenix and west of the Black Canyon road.
 The postmaster says he will be pleased to confer with and advise the residents of that district as to the proper course to pursue to secure this service.
 There are two objects to be sought for in thus widening the carrier and rural service. First the better accom- modatio of the residents in those dis tricts, and secondly the relieving of the general delivery service of the office That department of nearly every post office is oveTwCrked and the natural result is more or less confusion. Tn winter resort like Phoenix it is doubly so during the winter months. The es- tablishing of these lines will therefore serve a good purpose for all interested in the postoffice and that means every body who is worth considering at all.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH co.
Expansion of Its Service Covering
 Southern Arizona.

During the past week the Postal Telegraph company purchased the tele- graph lines operating along the Phelps Dodge railroads known as the Fl Paso and Southwestern system. This new arrangement places the local postal office in a position to handle telegraph business to and from Deming, N. M. Benson, Bisbee, Fairbank, Douglas and Naco, Ariz., and in fact all stations along the line of the Fl Paso ana Southwestern railway
 It is very evident that the Postal Telegraph-Cab company is laboring most earnestly on the theory of expan- sion. During the past year it has con- structed throughout the various sec tioas of the United States many hun dreds of miles of new telegraph lines and also but recently acquired posses sion of the enormous telegraph fran chise and contracts covering the entire system of the Pennsylvania Railroad ccmpany's lines east of Pittsburg.

THE DEMOCRATIC
 CAMPAIGN BOOK
It Relates Mainly to ImperiaI-
 ism and the Trusts
It Recognizes the Platform of 1900 and Assails the Accuracy of the Republican Books Statements us to the Trust Question.

Washington, September 2.-The dem Ccratic congressional campaign book. which made it's appearance today. is volume of 3S4 pages, the major portion of which is devoted to the discussion of imperialism and the trusts. Upon the title page is the democratic slogan, Equal rights to all; special privileges to none"
 The volume opens with the platform of 1900 and the resolutions adopted by the democratic members of the house at their conference June 19, arraigning the republican party for its failure to give relief to Cuba and to enact proper antitrust legislation. Then follows an extended criticism of the republican book. many statements contained therein being challenged as to accu- racy. especially those dealing with the trust question. Under the head of inn perialism there is a lcRg general review of the Philippines policy.
 The chapters on the tariff and trusts are crowded with statistics and figures much attention being devoted to an at tempt to show that protected trusts and manufacturers get the benefit of all tariff in our markets, and sell in foreign markets at greatly reduced prices. A number of big trusts are dis cussed in detail to show that they sell their products abroad much cheaper than at home, and the whole question ! is summarized in a chapter on The
 Evils of Protected Trusts" which is subdivided as follows: CD Political corruption. @ Watered stock.
 (0 Concealment Of export prices. (4 Juggled and manufactured sta tistics.
 The records of the two parties on the trust question are contrasted. Reef procity is generally denounced as "humbug." The remainder of the vol
 ume is devoted to a variety of subjects. including government by injunction. the ship subsidy bill. Chinese exclu- ! sion. foreign affairs and the Schley case.

PREACHER'S CHILDREN
Same as Others.

The wife of a prominent divine tried the food cure with her little daughter She says: "I feel sure that our experi- ence with Grape-Nuts food would be useful to many mothers. Our little daughter, eight years old, was subject to bowel trouble which we did not then understand and which the doctors pre- scriptions failed to cure.
 We had been using different cereals for breakfast and finally becoming dis couraged l said, I will try an eXperi- ment, l will discard all other cereals and use only Grape-Nuts for breakfast The three children all like it better than anything else and are so fond of it that l hardly let them have all they want In a short time I could see an improve ment in the bowel trouble.
 We began using GrapeNuts five months ago and now not only has the bowel trouble disappeared but the child has grown so plump and well-in fact was never so feshy before-that all our friends notice and remark about it. We think we have an ideal breakfast which consists of whole wheat bread with but ter, Postum Cereal Coffee and Grape Nuts. This is all we care for and think it would be hard to find many families so invariably healthy as is ours" Name given by the Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Sandusky, Ohio, September 2.-Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland won a de- cisiVe victory today in the meetings preliminary to the democrat" state convention, which will be called to or der tomorrow. Ever since he was se- lected as chairman of the convention by the state central committee it has been the general opinion that this occa- sion would be made the public opening of his candidacy for the next demo- cratic nomination for the presidency.
 In that respect his success has been phenomenal. No Ohio candidate for president ever had more unanimity of sentiment in his favor among the del egates at q state convention than that shown at the meetings tonight by the congressional districts fer the selection of officers and members Of the state committees. Committees on creden- tials, permanent organization and rules and order of business were almost unanimously with him for anything he wants.

STRIKING MINERS
 APPLY THE TORCH
A West Virginia Skirmish in Which
 Several Were Hurt.

Bramwell. W. Va. September 2.-The situation in the Flat Top coal field is extremely critical. The skirmish this morning between the strikers and guards at the Pocahontas Coal com pany after the firing of the mine by the strikers has greatly angered the miners from the fact that a number of them were severely injured. It is thought here that before tomorrow night troops will be either in the Flat Top region or en route.
 Tonight the Pocahontas collieries company have the fire in their mine practically eXtinguished, but that com pany has doubled its force of guards as another attack any hour is feared. Many shots have been fired from am- bush toward the direction of the non union miners going to and from work in the Flat Top field. Ths Elkhorn re zion is very quiet, no violence having been reported from that section today

FLEET AND ARMY
 WATCH EACH OTHER
An Expected Attack by HigglnsOn
 Last Night.

New London, Conn, September 2.- The defending forces in the New Lon don district are tonight on the alert and awaiting an attack by the navy. At midnight no decisive movement had been made by the fleet under Admiral Higginson. At that hour General Mac Arthur left headquarters and boarded his yacht Kanawha for the night, leaV- ing Major Harrison in charge.
 The impression prevails here that Newport is the point which will next be attacked, although the presence Of three vessels supposed to be battleships at Gardiner's bay causes considerable uneasiness. They can be seen plainly from Fort Wright. The defending force is all at sea in regard to the next movement to be made by Admiral Hig- ginson and every possible precaution has been taken to guard against sur prise.

One of them gave him the double honor at once of agreeing or a report to make permanent the temporary Or- ganizatiOn of the convention. The Johnson men were opposed only in the selection of the committee on resOlu- tions and the members Of th. neN state central committee. The Johnson men during the day made no conces- siCns, and in some cases gave mo quarter" to their opponents.

MINERS WANT TROOPS.

Charleston, W. Va, September Q Governor White today received a set of resolutions reading:
 At a meeting of Local Union No. z42, United Mine Workers of America, three hundred members petition you to send troops to Winona, on Keene's creek, to preserve order until the strike is settled
 Troops are now located at Thur mOnd to preserve order. They were sent there at the instance of our sheriff. and while upon investigation it appears that the call for troops was unneces- sary and utter folly, yet we, the min CTS, are glad to have them. They are principally union men and in sympathy with our cause and look upon the men working with the same contempt as we do."
