GAMBLING PROFITS ARE BIG.
Man Who Controls Game In MexI-

Man Who Controls Game In a MexI-
can State Makes 100000 Year.
Did you ever hear of the man who
broke the bank at Camanea?r
! Possibly not, as the Camanea gam
ling resort has not attained the
fame and prestige which is given to
Monte Carlo. The bank is there and
1t equals IL II does not exceed its
better known rival in the domain Of
the prince Of Monaco.
Frank l.. Proctor Is the ruler OF
this gambling territory. In extent it
Is far greater than the territory of
the prince. II occupies an entire
state In Mexico. Frank Proctor has
absolute sway over the state Of So
nora. The government Of Mexico has
given him a long term lease on the
gambling privileges.
Camanea is the richest and largest
mining camp in Mexico. 1t Is the
center of Proctor's gambling princi-
pality. Not many years ago, Proctor,
boy in Arizona, not extremely well
liked In this worlds goods.
Not many years ago w, G. Green
married a daughter of Proctor and
afterward managed to attract some
eastern capital to mining schemes he
had on foot in Sonora. To-day he
owns a 100000 copper mine.
Through Green, Proctor was provided
with the gambling privilege in the
state. The concession gives him the
income of a multi-millionaire
Over the gambling tables at Cana
nea it is said that $4,000 passes
every night. Some days the total
amount has run up to 100000. 1t
requires 500 men to operate the
tables, and a profit of 100000
year is derived from that place alone.
Not only does Proctor control the
gambling of Camanea, but also that
OF Hermosillo, Guaymas and Alamos.
When 1t is understood that the popu-
lation of Sonora would rather
gamble than eat it may be appreciat-
ed what an enormous sum passes into
Proctor's hands annually.

ALAsT RESORT.
Pure Food Should Be the EIrst.

Pure Food Should Be the First.
When the human machine goes
wrong it's ten to one that the trouble
began with the stomach and can
therefore be removed by the use OF
proper food. A lady well known in
Bristol, Ontario county, N. Y, tells
Of the experience she had curing her
only child by the use of scientific food:
my little daughter, the only child and
for that reason doubly dear, inherited
nervous dyspepsia. We tried all kinds
of remedies and soft foods. At last,
when patience was about exhausted
and the child's condition had grown so
bad the whole family was aroused, we
tried Grape-Nuts
"A friend recommended the food as
one which her own delicate children
had grown strong upon so purchased
a box--as last resort. In very
short time marked change in both
health and disposition was seen.
What made our case easy was that
she liked 1t at once and its crisp,
nutty flavor has made II an immediate
favorite with the most fastidious in
our family.
"Its use seems to be thoroughly
established in western New York
where many friends use & regularly.
have noticed its fine effects upon the
intellects as well as the bodies of
those who use it. We owe 1t much"

Word was received last night at the
office of the Eureka Mining company
that the members of the Hoke party,
who went up the Snake river to raise
the boiler of the "Imnaha," were at the
Eureka camp securing timber with
which to make a raft. The raft is to
be used in bringing the boiler down
the river after it is raised.
The word received was by letter from
Eureka camp and conveyed the infor-
nation that the Hoke party were~ all
right though they had lost a boat AMI
all their provisions and camp utensils
while on their way up, the river from
here.
This information dispels the theory
that any of the Hoke party were
drowned.
Mrs. A. P. Clark of $50 Fifth avenue

party. yesterday made some effort to
send word up the river to learn II
anything had befallen the party. She

BURIED
WITH A PIC
MOhommedan Marc v no Murder
ed a Christian Shot and
Buried With a Pig

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE Ma
Mia Gable News of October 80, copy
of which has been received at the war
department, is authority for the state
ment that the recent outbreak on the
island of Jolo was due to the fact that
a Mohammedan Moro was buried with
a pig, by order of Lieut.-Col. Rodgers
of the Fifteenth cavalry
The story, as published in the Gable
News is that "juramentado" man
who has taken an oath to kill a Chris
tian), was shot to death on the streets
of Jolo after partly disemboweling a
member of B troop, Fifth cavalry.
Col. Rodgers, it is reported, with a
desire to teach the natives a lesson, or
dered the body of the fanatic buried
with a pig, which is the greatest insult
that can be offered to the pork hating
Mohammedans.
The event was widely advertised, and
1000 Moros closed in about Jono and
practically lead siege to the city. They
grew more and more aggressive, and
Gen. Wood finally sent an expedition
against them.

Death OF William S. Pursel.

Our people were sorry on Friday
to hear of the death of William S.
Pursel, which occurred the day be-
fore at the home of his son, DR.. J.
P. Pursel, at Doylestown, this state,
whittier he had gone about a month
ago to spend the winter. Mr..
Pursel was we'll and favorably
known, and his memory will be one
that will leave an influence for
good. He resided for many years
on his farm on North Iron street,
having moved here from Eyers-
grove. He was one of the Oldest
members of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, and always attended its
services. Mr.. Pursel was aged
about seventy four years, and is
survived by the son above referred
to and two other children. Henry,
of Ohio, and Kinney, of Elmira.
The remains arrived here over the
d. L. & w. r. K. Friday afternoon
and were taken to the residence of
l.. N. Meyer, where funeral services
were conducted Saturday afternoon.

TOWN COUNCIL.

A special meeting of the Town
Council was held last night. with
all the members present. 1t was
decided to purchase 800 feet of
Paragon hose at 90 cents per foot.
The fire alarm system was reported
to be in good shape except at points
where wire crosses other electric
wires. The committee made some
recommendations to remedy this.
l.. M. Sloppy who was elected
Tax Collector last February, noti-
fed the coucil that he declined to
collect the duplicate of 1908, his
reasons therefor being that the
bond had been increased to $1,000,
and because the duplicate had been
held back SO long. Mr.. Sloppy
has not resigned as Tax Collector
but declines to collect the town
duplicate. The other duplicates
are in his hands.
President Townsend called atten-
ton to the statement printed by the
town as to the balance due on the
tax duplicates of 1901 and 1902.
The balance according to this state
ment due on the 1901 duplicate is
So, 2S4. So and on the 1902 duplicate
S7,3o6.74, making tota. of SII,-
5SI.26 still due the town according
to this printed statement. The e.
nance committee will meet Miles
Betz, the collector, this evening at
seven O'Clock i'll order to ascertain
the amount still uncollected on the
duplicates of those years. There
was some discussion as to the ap-
pointment of a collector, but no
conclusion was reached. n num-
Der of minor matters also received
attention, and after directing orders
to be drawn for some bills the coun-
Gil adjourned.
