 Beehler also stated that s. W. Claw son may soon ask for a postoffice at Glance. where a number of men are employed, and the amount of mail mat ter considerable. The Glance peep, e are now said to be framing up their petition.
 Postmaster McCabe gives it as his opinion that the department will graa. the petition of the Don Luis people. and that the establishment there of an office wi be of great convenience to the people, who are now obliged to come to Bisbee for their mail.
 It will probably be some time before the postoffice department gets around to the Don Luis matter. and until that time those interesed will endeavor to bring influences to bear that will secure prompt action on the matter

The people of Don Luis want a postoffice established there. Yesterday a petition to the fourth assistant post master general was forwarded to Washington through Postmaster McCabe
 This petition. which se,s forth the reasons why the important little freight distributing center should have a postoffice, is signed by forty y-siA residents of Don Luis.
 G. O. Beehler. chief clerk of the Calumet and Bisbee, who is taking a prominent part in the movement thinks that his section of the Warren district is entitled to consideration. He says:
 "As it is now we are put to a great deal of inconvenience in getting our mail. With an office at Don Luis. we vii receive mail matter shortly after it arrives, instead of having to wait several hours as is the case under the present conditions.

 Some Mistake About His Identity.
 An exclusive dispatch yesterday morning stated that Sam Smith. at one time a miner in Bisbee. attempted to commit suicide in Phoeniv Sunday by cutting his throat with a razor.
 Diligent inquiries were made yester- day, but no one could be found who remembers having seen Smith in this city. Several miners who have been employed here for years expressed an opinion that a mistake has been made.
 A short time before noon Smith en- tered the Central hotel sallon in Phoe- nix and went to one of the back rooms and sat down, no one paying any par ticular attention to him. He remained in the room until about 1 o'clock when he staggered out to the bar with his throat cut from ear to ear
 The bartender told him to go to the durg store, and he left the saloon and went into Bears pharmacy. and Dr. Stroud was called. He found the wound to be very bad and it took eighteen stitches to sew it up. The windpipe was severed but the arteries were not cut. Had they been it would have been hard to save his life.
 The man carried a small satchel throughout the affair, which upon be- ing opened disclosed nine vials of morphine, four vials of cocaine, four hypodermic syringes and few small articles of clothing.
 The man was undoubtedly insane from breeding over his health and in dulgence in the stimulants He was taken to the hospital. and at late hour Monday night there seemed to be a good chance for his recovery.

IT ALL DEPENDS
How the Newspaper is Criticised
BY Certain People

Every week the newspaper publisher
Is called upon To Judge what is best To
publish and what must be kept out Of
the paper. Mr.. Jones has little SEN
satiUn in his family and rushes to the
editor to have the item squelched
Mr. Smith calls and says the editor is
a coward # he don't let the public
know about the Jones sensation.
Next week Smith has an unfortun-
ate occurrence in his family and rushes
to the printer to have the matter kept
from the public. Then comes in Mrs.
Brown To tell the eiitor what she will
think about the paper unless the
Smith family get an airing.
The next week Mrs. Browns daugh-
ter and siStcr-In.law tells all over town
of something sensational tHdt is g0-
ing to happen in her family but Mrs.
Brown forGcts to stop the editor from
publishing the news which her family
have circulated. Then she is mad and
her family are very much surprised
that the newspaper should publish
anything they have said.
NeWSp per men always admit that
there is much that should not be pub
lished, and every newspaper worker Is
the guardian Of many secrets that
would work iucalCulablc mischief il
printed. But there arc people who
seem TO expect that they can COM
/ municate information regarding their
own affairs TO all their friends, who
are not blamed for spreading such in
formation, and yet they expect the
newspaper TO refrain from exercising
the same privilege with its types
which others are exercising by word

The State Flooded With FakiYs
Prosperity Brings Army of Them TO South DaofaAH Sorts
of Schemes TO Defraud the UnwarY

la addition TO being the field o.
operations for several gangs Cf safe
blowers, South Dakota i flooded with
an army Of fakirs, who doubtless were
drawn to the state by the stories Of
the great prosperity prevailing here.
Various schemes 10y which they seek
to defraud the uuwary have been
exposed from time To time, but as
fast as one scheme plays out they
adopt another and continue TO prey
upon the unsuSpeCting.
One of the latest schemes is reported
from the rural precincts Of Douglas
county, where number OF swindlers
operated among the farmers for sew
eral days They travel in pairs and
call at farmers home, ostensibly to
take orders for dry goods.
They show a fine line Of samples and
claim to have the goods at nearby
railroad town, which they are selling
very cheap, and will deliver the next
week
After taking the farmers order and
refusing to accept any money with
the order, they prepare To depart.
The fact that they decline TO accept
any part Of the purchase money usually
throws their intended victim of his
guard. Then, just as the swindlers
are about to depart one Of them takes
out a watch and shows it 70 the admir-
ing household, claiming it is the last
one he has left, that it is one OF the
best made, gold filled case, warranted
for life, or longer, and that to close
out his stock he will let il 90 for eight
or ten dollars, the price varying accord
ing to the character and appearance
Of the intended victim. The victim
bites, the timepiece is purchased, and
after the disappearance Of the swind-
lers it is easily ascertained that the
watch is worthless After selling
their Cast watch TO one farmer a
couple Of the swiudlers proceeded to
the home Of their victims neighbor.
where they claimed they had only
three watches left. They fixed a
a price on the three timepieces and
the farmer thought it was such bar
gain that he without hesitation pur-
chased all three. He has the watches
all right, but needless to say, Wis dry
goods have not yet been received
The REGISTER believes that Brook
ings county at the present time Is
being canvassed by a gang Of this sort.

The following interesting article 90
the raising Of pure blood cattle is from
the pen of George Z. NcEathron, pro
prietor Of the Tccpeotah stock farm
near Huron, and was written for the
Sioux Fails Daily Argus Leader
"To begin with the calf long before
il is born" writes Mr., NeEarthrou,
81 searched among herd after herd
for a ball to head my herd and visited
all the leading cattle shows IN this
country, where | could see different
animals together and make compau-
sons, and at last | discovered what |
wanted in a calf known as March On
NH. On the day | selected him he
was to be sold at public auction, and
after running him up TO price far
beyond my means | at last saw him
kroCked down TO another party for
the sum OF So 500, the highest price
ever paid for calf in America. But
| was not to lose him after all, for in
a little more than year from that
ii me | got my courage up to the prop
er point and negotiated for him, so
that today he stands at the head Of
my herd. | congratulate myself that
at least half my herd is as good as the
best. Now we can start with the calf
after getting the proper seed.
calves from such sire are showing
their quality today and visitors to the
Teepeotah stock farm cannot say
enough in praise Of them.
"The calves are kept in darkened
barn away from the flies during the
day and the cows are allowed TO come
in from the pasture morning and
evening TO suckle them. The calves
are allowed an hours exercise in a
large lot twice a day and are fed whole
oats (when obtainable) or whole corn
and bran. or a mixture O. ground
corn, barley and >peltz with "A lithe
