Gentlefnen'S Spring Suits.


 The average Clothing stock is dreadfully monotonous. Sameness, sameness, same ness. Whatever the price there's deci- ded resemblance between all the styles. There's dead-level of mediocrity in quality, pattern and colorings. The gath ering here, however, affords relief. Nov city, novelty, novelty. We show an im- mense variety of swell effects. Our gar ments have all the extra touches that only painstakng and careful tailors give. No- tice the finishing. You've never seen better or finer. It is folly for you to buy before seeing this display. If you are a staunch custo- mer of another store come and look at these for the sake of comparison. It will pay. |.

THE LINE IS IN DOUBT TROUBLES OF JACKSON AND
 DEKALB CITIZENS. In One County Stock Law Prevails, Failure to Keep Up Live Stock
 Has Caused Soms Friction.

Scpttsboro, March 1.-(Speclal. .)-The line%that divides DeKalb and Jackson Counties has long been a bone of con- tention. especially along the brow of Sand Mountain.
 The residents in that section of the mountain don't know whether they live in Jackson or Dekalb. The line has been run on several occasions, but each time by a different engineer, and each time 1t has varied. Now that there is a stock law in Dckalb and none in Jack son the residents along the line do not know whether to keep up stock or let it run at large, and consequently there is considerable friction between a number of men.

 Many of the beneficiaries of the will died long before her demise, and such circumstances surrounded the affair as to create belief in the minds of many that she had forgotten the existence of the will, as 1t was known that she had entertained other thoughts and had be- come reconciled to her brother and was devoted to him and his children for many years prior to his death and to hers.

 of the Class of 'O4
GRADUATING EXERCISES OF THE GLASS OF o4 ATTENDED BY
 LARGE AUDIENCE.
A Splendid Program, Well Rendered by the Class and Outsiders-Great Credit Due the Teachers Who Enain- eered the Commencement.

Last night the Opera House was packed from the stage to the outside doors with the audience gathered to witness the commencement exercises of the Class of '04 of the Bisbee school. The stage was beautifully decorated, and when the class, the faculty and the board took their seats, nothing prettier was ever seen in this city The young ladies of the class were dressed in white, and all of them carried flow CTS, mostly pink carnations, which added to the general color scheme Of the. decorations.
 IL was an important occasion in the lives of the young people on the stage, who last night graduated from school, some to go higher in educational cours- es, and others to take up their life work as men and women. That the young Graduates realized the import ance of the situation was evident from the manner in which they con ducied themselves. The roli of paper delivered to each of them represented the material evidence of the years of hard work spent in gaining good common school education It was what they had worked hard for, and had earned honestly, and it meant much to the boys and girls of ;he Class of '04.
 The program was well rendered and special credit is due to those teacherss whG rehearsed the members of the class that took part in the exer- eises.aAff:e exercises were cut of the ordinary, and had nothing of the d.y commonplaceness of most common school graduating exercises. A num- Der of outsiders rendered numbers and helped to make the exercises very entertaining.
 The program as rendered last night is as follows:

Bisbee daily review., 1904-06-04

All over the country he had declared his undying hostility to all enemies of the people. Every drop of blood in his veins was tingling with patriotism. He was the very apatheosis of every thing self-sacrificing. courageous, and American, and yet there has not been a day since he has occupied the chair of president that the law has not been violated.
 He could not plead ignorance for he knew the criminals, for his repre- sentative in Congress flied an ex- hibit and actually gave the names of 500 trusts. These 800 trusts had a capitalization of more than fourteen billions of dollars Why did not Theodore the First get out his big stick" for these trusts? He has demonstrated lately that he would like to swat the people of the whole southern continents. He has plenty to. fight here at home, and make good the promises of the party he repre-. sents. The Republican party can hardly hope to go before the country at the coming election as the trust busting party. Its false pretenses on this subject will be remembered thfs Faff. ''h
