Fifty six bank robberies are re- ported to have occurred in this coun- try during the last four months. H. inois and Nebraska report seven each, Indiana five. Texas and Missouri four each. Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska two each and New Mexico one. These surprisingly numerous crimes suggest widespread bank robbing organiZa- tion. and recent events tend to con- firm the idea. Under the present ma tional law, banks with small capital are multiplying in towns and villages. Bank robbing gangs appear to have increased correspOndingly.
 An epidemic of diphtheria among the children of Passaic has been traced to the school room, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. In these days slate pencils have been abolished and lead pencils take their places. They are collected and distributed daily, and one child with diphtheria man aged to spread it broadcast. Every child has an almost uncomfortable desire to bite tine end of lead pen cil. and in this way the disease has spread, with fatal results. While it is possible to make too much of the germ theory of disease, there are cer- tain precautions which are necessary at all times.

THE MEXICAN PERTENENCIA.
An Accurate Definition of What This
 Mining Word Means.

The following by Mir. James W. MalcOlsom, printed in a New York Journal, is clear definition of the Mexican "pertenencia
 "A Mexican pertenencia is a single, indivisible mining claim, and is the official unit of area for mining ground. Where possible it must be rectangular, 100 meters, 1928 feet, by 100 meters. but in any case must con- tainH 10, 900 Square meters. It is bounded by vertical planes. It Is the smallest area which may be located on ground not already limited by sur rounding locations. The possession of pertenencia gives no right to the surface ground within its boundaries An annual payment of Sl0 Mexican currency, payable to the federal gov ernment, is required to hold each per tenencia in Mexico. "Mining proper ty in Mexico differs from that in the United States in this principal re spect: A United States patent gives absolute perpetual possession, while a Mexican title to pertenencia is sim ply lease of the underground, which is forfeited three months after failure to pay the rent.

If the senators are to make SO much fuss over the suspicion of polygamy in Arizona that they they prevent the passage of the statehood bill the pre- sumption is that they made burros of themselves when they granted state hood to Utah. the head center of the whole polygamy theory. Their re- fusal to admit three big territories because one of them is alleged to have a small Norman colony in it. after they had given statehood to Utah. looks like straining at a mosquito and swallowing an Arizona lizard. .-Albu querque Citizen.

A BURSTED WATER PIPE
Pours Sixteen Inches of Water Into
 B.-B. Co. s Warehouse Cellar.

Pours Sixteen Inches of Water Into
 B.-B. Co. s Warehouse Cellar.
 An accident happened in the Bash ford Burmister Co. $ ware house last night which but for timely discovery of same, might have done many hun dreds of dollars worth of damage, but even as it turned out there was over sixteen inches of water in the large cellar under the ware house just across the alley from the main store.
 The elevator which is used in lower ing and raising the heavy loads of canned goods, etc., that is kept stored in the cellar by the car load, is run by water power and the water is sup piled for this purpose through an inch and half pipe leading from the city main. This pipe extends up several feet on the first first floor where it is attached to a section of hose to be used as fire extinguisher in case of such need. The hose is connected to the pipe by brass fixture and hereby hangs the tale, as it was this fixture which split open last night sometime after the store closed at 6 o'clock and II o'clock, when it was discovered by the nigh watch, Geo. Giles. Mir. Giles was making his usual rounds up the alley when he heard the missing sound of escaping water and surmised what was the trouble. He gave the alarm to Mr. Bray who hurried to the place, opened the door and got the water shut off.
 Then came the work of drawing off this water and getting the stuff out which had been soaked. The entire force was summoned, the water pipe repaired so the elevator could be worked and the crates of cabbage, boxes of canned goods and dried fruit began to be hoisted. This morning the steam saw was called into action and attached to pump when the water was drawn off. The floor being cement the foundation of the building was protected from danger.
 The damage will be several hundred dollars as it is, but might have reached into the thousands had the discovery not have been made when it was. In few more hours the cellar would have overflown and emptied in to the main cellar under the store rooms of the B.-B. Co. and k. H. Burmister X Sons Co.,, when tons of sugar is stored in sacks, beside thou sands of dollars worth of other mer chandise that would have been utter " ruined.
