Could anything speak more eio- quently of the prosperity of the busi- ness world than the columns of the Review this morning with its twelve pages of matter covering the news of the world, the local events of the city and county, and the wealth of news contained in its advertising columns! The principal part of this business comes to the Review voluntarily, with out the aid of any solicitation upon its part, proving that the business man recognizes the fact that when he would meet the people of the county and of Cananea. and look them in the eye with his advertisement, he must use the Review. He discovers also that his advertising through this me dium is an investment. not an ex' pense, hence it pays.

Going to CiviJize
 The Bull Ring
Special 10 Review.)


 Douglas, Saturday.-In the future the bull ring at Agua Prieta is to be devoted to other purposes than bull fighting.
 A concession has been secured from the Mexican minister of the interior at the City of Mexico and from the State authorities at Hermosillo for athletic contests of all kinds in the To- cal bull ring. This includes, of course, glove contests, although prize fights are expressly prohibited by the terms of the concession.
 By request the names of the parties who have secured the concession is withheld at this juncture, but there is no doubt of the fact that the privilege has been secured. The definite an nouncement of the fact was given out this morning
 It is understood to be part of the plans of the promoters of the deal to give all sorts of athletic exhibitions here. Not alone fistic cVatests. but football games and other forms of ath- letic entertainment are to be present ed.
 It is the intention to begin in the near future a series of exhibitions that will attract the attention of the entire southwest, and make of Douglas a ral- lying ground for those who have a penchant for clean sport.

How he Proposed.

A bashful, middle aged bache-
lor recently fell a tardy victim to
one of Cupid's shafts. The very
thought of having to make a per-
s)nal offer of marriage was suf-
ficient to give. him nightmare
and to propose by letter he looked
on as a rather cowardly Sinking
of an obvious duty. At last a
happy solution occurred to him.
Purchasing phonograph and a
number of cylinders he sent them
anonymously to the lady Of his
choice, who was delighted with
such an acceptable present. She
excitedly proceeded to try the
records and her confusion may be
imagined when she heard a voice
she knew well declaring undylng
love for her and begging her to
be his wife. What could Il poor
maiden do under these conditions
but answer 'yes'' to such plead
ing? And less than two months
ago the story Of the strange WOO
ing was told by the bridegroom
himself at wedding reception

her influence for good is already

throughout the county. Every

support it in every way possible.
And now, ye fellow correspond

Attempt to Blow up Penitentiary.

A desperate plot by five negro
convicts to escape from the State
Prison by dynamiting their way
out was nipped in the bud yester-
day by Warden McMennaway
and Assistant Warden Gillen-
water. The five negroes impli-
Gated in the plot were ferreted
out, and two dynamite sticks,
some pistol cartridges and saw
were captured. The contraband
articles had been smuggled into
prison by Jim Young, a negro
granted the privileges of trusty.
The stuff found was only part
of the supplies to be accumulated
and it is probable that the at
tempt to escape would have been
made soon.
The watchful eye of Assistant
Warden Gillenwater discovered
Sunday afternoon that something
was going on in the negro wing,
and after making an investi-
CATION he summoned one of the
suspected negroes to the warden's
office. The negro finally con-
fessed his implication in the plot
and gave the names of the
others. A search was instituted
for the dynamite, which was
finally located on the third floor
of the shoe factory hidden away
| in a box. Pete Dodson, a negro
with many aliases, and who was
considered the leader, was
brought in before the warden, ,and
| though he at first denied any
| knowledge of the propose
escape, when confronted by the
explosives captured, he confess
ed to the whole affair. AT the
end of his story the negro sud
denly drew long shoe knife
from his clothes and before the
officials realized what he was
about, he stabbed himself twice
| in the neck. DR.. Frank Head
the prison physician, was pres
ent and the negro was hurried tt
the hospital, the blood flowing
from his wounds. The cuts were
dressed and it was found that HI
was not seriously injured. Th'
five negroes implicated were Cur
tis Dixon, Pete Dodson, Osca
Becker, Jacob Parham and Jlr
Young.
