GOVERNOR ERODE
 IN TUCSON
HIS ARRIVAL CREATES COASTER NATION AMONG POLITICIANS WILL ATTEND STATEHOOD
 MEETING

Governor Brodie arrived in Tucson this morning. raher unexpectedly. None of the politicians apparently knew he was coming, and his sudden appearance on the streets caused sur prise and to some politicians conster- nation.
 The governor was accompanied from Phoenix by Shirley Christy and W. s. Sturgis of the La Mora ranch. was the only republican in town who the governor stepped of the train and MT. Sturgis got view of him, he made a dash in his direction and an exuberant grab at the executive val ise. Accompanied by MT. Sturgis the governor proceeded to the Orndorff, where he established headquarters.
 It was immediately assumed by the politicians that the governor was here for the purpose of appointing a new board of regents for the university. The governor does not admit this. He says he is working on his annual report to the authorities at Washing ton, and is here to gather data about the university.
 The governor will be here until to- morrow night, when he will return to Phoenix. He will attend the meeting of the senate committee on territories which will be held in Los Angeles soon. He spent the morning at the Orndorf, where many politicians, some of them with very dull axes to grind. called on him. He spent most of the afternoon at the office of the secretary of the board of regents, loading up with cold facts about the university. He will dine with Chan cellor Herrick this evening.
 The governor is in good health Tucson Citizen.

Sheriff Lewis is still out with his posse in the Chiricahua mountains and no word has been received for the past several days. The sheriff will stay on the trail as long as there is shadow of a chance to bring the fugi- tives to bay, and he has the personal bravery and endurance to succeed Ii it is possible. In this he is favored by the determined posse with him.
 Charles Wilkes yesterday made an important strike of rich ore at his Finance mine, south of town, near the Emerald. The ore iss rich in silver and carries as high as 300 ounces. MT. Wilkes states that he has uncov- cred a good ledge on his property and it's development will doubtless open a good producer. The mine is located in a highly mineralized section near properties having records as produc- CTS. and the Finance is destined to take equal rank.

For the third time in succession
quorum failed to attend the regular
meeting of the school board last night
and no business was transacted. The
members of the board were elected by
the voters in the belief that the BUSH
ness of the public schools of the city
would be safe in their hands, but it
looks very much as if some of the
members had forgotten that i'm portant
fact. If they had no time to attend to
the business of the board they should
not have accepted office.

Increase of Fifty Cents a Ton on the
Much Needed Commodity An
nOunCed Monday.
FURTHER ADVANCE is PROBABLE
Market Price is the Only Reason Given for
the Increase in Kenosha,-COaI Yard
Coming This Evening.

Coal, the most needed commodity in
kenosha took a small jump Monday
afternoon when the dealers in Kenosha
rubbed out the So mark and put mark
Of $3.50 for every ton taken out of the
yards. No explanations are necessary.
The people need the coal and the dealer
needs the money, and this is the end
of it.
Kenosha people are fortunate that
they are not paying more. In Racine
without word of warning the dealers
boosted the price to nine dollars a ton
Monday, and incidentally gave warn
ing that as the demand increased the
price would go up. One of the dealers
in speaking of the matter this morn
ing stated that the increase in price
was simply following the coal market
and that the people of Kenosha were
people of any other city of the North
west. In Racine nine dollars is
charged, in Milwaukee eleven and in
Chicago as high as fourteen dollars has
been paid. The demand for coal in
Kenosha is tremendous and both the
yards are working to full capacity to
supply the demands.
The visible supply for Kenosha dur
ing the season will be grea thy increase
this evening when a big barge will ar
rive at the Baldwin docks, CARRYING as
Mr.. Baldwin puts it, "a whole coal
yard" The boat brings $500 tons Of
hard coal, and this will bring the SUP
ply for Kenosha up to nearly nine
thousand tons.
All coal that is shipped in by rail
will be more expensive than the coal
that is now being offered and for this
reason it is probable that the amount
sold during the winter months will be
the entire supply. There is one logical
reason for the price of coal advancing,
and that is the fact that the lake rates
have been advanced. A month ago
the rate was forty cents ton, but the
rate for the coal that is now being
brought in is dollar and half, so
that it is seen that the coal actually
costs the dealer 81. 10 more than it did
formerly.
The dealers are making no reduction
in price to people who prefer to haul
their own coal, and it is given to be
understood that the cost of the coal is
$8. SO per ton either at the yards or de-
livered. On account of the great de-
mand many people are being forced to
do their own delivering, and for this
reason the price: is increased to nine
dollars.
Coal is being shipped from Kenosha
to Zion City and twenty-five ton car
was sent to DIR. Dowie this afternoon.
One of the dealers remarked "What
ever happens Dowie will have to be
taken care of"

HARD COAL IS SCARCE
Milwaukee People Cannot Obtain 1t for
Love or Money, 1t Is
Reported.

Milwaukee, Dec. 10.-Cold weather
is causing considerable distress in Mil
Waukee. Poor people are not the only
sufferers. The scarcity of hard coal is
the chief factor to contend with. Coal
merchants throughout the city are be-
seiged by well-to-do people who have
money to purchase fuel and other sup
plies, but who are absolutely unable to
purchase hard coal at any price.
Every applicant received the state
ment that there was no coal to be had
and that the very small supply in the
bins was destined for the people who
had ordered coal last spring and who
can get it only in small lots.

THOMAS BRAcKETT REED, former
Speaker of the House, who died in
Washington Sunday morning, was one
of the great national figures in his day
aud generation, and few men in all
the history of the nation had more in
duence in shaping the policy of his
party. Elected to Congress in 1877,
he soon made his presence felt in the
House, and almost from the start he
took front rank as a party leader,
far seeing statesman and a giant in
debate. Few of his speeches occupied
over twenty minutes in delivery, but
such was the clarity of his statements,
SO terse and forcible his expressions,
chat his speeches made a greater i'm
Dression than the most carefully pre-
pared and 1aborious arguments of his
opponents. Ready, resourcefu1, reso-
Aute, sarcastic, with keen sense of
humor and an unequalled faculty of
logical reasoning, few cared to meet
aim in debate. Elected Speaker of
she House in 1899, he revolutionized
the methods Of procedure and his rule
of counting quorum present when he
saw the members in their seats, even
though they failed to answer the roll
call, gained for him the nickname of
@ECzar." When the Democrats gained
control of the House in 1892, Mr.. Reed
had the satisfaction of seeing his
rules, for the enforcement of which he
had been denounced as a dictator Y
'usurper," "tyrant," adopted by his
opponents. His genial, open hearted
good fellowship won the friendship
of ali with whom he came in intimate
contact, and his bitterest political
opponents were often his clos
est personal friends. HE was
best loved by those who knew him
best. He summed up his own character
IN his farewell address to the people OF
his district when ne reminded them
that in his twenty-three years of pc
htical life he had never trimmed a
sail to catch the passing breeze or evel
flown doubtful flag"

a. M. Wright Directory, Delivered to
Patrons Today, Shows Many
Interesting Things.
POPULATION OF CITY IS $4,000
Directory Contains $500 Names. an In
crease of Six Hundred Over
Last Year,

The new directory of the city, issued
by the A. M. Wright Directory Com
pany, of Milwaukee, is being distrib-
uted to the patrons of the company in
keposha today and it is being received
with great deal of interest. The
size of the directory indicates that If is
a,pretty thorough one. The new book
contains nearly four hundred pages
crowded full of names of the peoule of
Kenosha city and county.
The book is we'll filled with adver-
tisemeuts of Kenosha industries and
has an appendix in which the Kenosha
manufacturing plants are given con-
sideration.
In the city directory there are 6, 500
names, an increase of 900 over wear
ago. At the lowest possible rate of
computation this shows that the city
has population of $4,000, and count.
ing on ratio of two and half for
each person, which has in the past
been a fair rate, the city will have
more than 10000 people.
Mr.. Wright, who has made director
les in all the leading cities of the
country, introduces his work in Keno
sha with the following statement:
"The present issue of the Kenosha
Directory is in itself a sufficient at
testation of the enterprise and healthy
growth of the city. There are in the
volume more than $500 Individual
names, excluding from the computa-
ton all names of firms and corpora
tons, being about 600 more than in
the last directory. This represents an
increase of about ten per cent ia the
last two years and places the present
population of the city at about $4,000.
"The per capita production of Keno
sha's manufactures is $645. This is
exceeded by few cities in the country,
and so far as we have been able to
learn, is equaled in no city the size of
Kenosha. AS a matter of comparison,
It might be stated that the per capita
production of Pittsburg is $3.50, of
Cleveland 1866, and of Milwaukee, $434.
An examination of the long list of
names shows that there has been de-
cided increase in many of the families
in Kenosha. A year ago the Johnsons
held the palm in kenosla, but this
year the Smith family are largely in
the ascendency and the directory shows
that there are 10Y Smiths in Ker osha.
The Millers have usurped second place
with population of 90, and the john
sons are poor thirds with a population
of 81.
The directory further shows that
there are fifty Andersons, forty-six
Nelson's, forty-seven Hansens, forty
four Jensens, and thirty people by The
name Of Larsen, Petersen, Meyer and
Williamson. The directory ontains
complete list of the societies in the
city with full list of their officers. 1t
has good chart of the streets and
shows where each one may be located.
The directory for the county is
most complete one and contains the
name of every farmer in the county
with his postofice and the amount of
land owned by him.
The directory is not offered for sale
but is delivered only to the patrons of
the company who subscribed for it.
The edition consisted of six hundred
copies.

THE insurance companies attribute
the enormous increase in the number
of 6res and the consequent heavy
1asses to the general use of soft coal.
1t pays to be careful at all times, but
