 SOME CRIMINAL BUSlNESS-The increase of the growth of Cochise county is shown in variety of ways. One is by the increased tax list and the frequent reports of the starting up of new inustries in various parts of the Tho criminal docket of the Cochise county will be by far the largest in the history of the county. Attorney Thomas L. Flanagan who was in the city yesterday morn- ing said that he had not heard just how many criminal cases there would be, but he knew that he was interested in the defense of thirty persons charged with felonies or misdemeanors.
 THOROUGH AND METHODlCAL- Whatever his faults may be, no man can deny that R. H. Drane. local consul of the Missouri government and deputy registrar of this county, is thorough in his work. Registration is his chief est joy in life and no sin of commission can equal in enormity the sin of omit ting to register a democrat. It is said by his friends that a day or two ago he registered a fourteen months old baby democratic. As the kid wasn't old enough to talk MT. Drane was asked how he knew the baby was democrat. He made signs replied the register ing officer and I've been studying democrat. As the kid wasn't old There's q thousand ways of telling q democrat without talking to him Often, the simple and easy manner in which he crooks an elbow is all the sign I need"
 DIET AND POLlTIcS.-An old line democrat and an old line republican met the other day and drifted off into a discussion of the possibilities of democratic success next fall. The dem- ocrat insisted that regardless of the factional fight in his party that when It come to voting the democrats would all step up and support the ticket re- gardless of how much crow there was spread over it. Once a democrat, all ways a democrat, is the rule he said. The republican contended that the rule originated in and was applicable only to certain limited districts in the south where the universal diet is hog, hominy and corn bread. But take d democrat from that section and transplant him 10 land of hot biscuits and maple syrup and there is no accounting for what he will do or how he will vote. And the invasion of hot biscuits and maple syrup is making mighty pre- gress.
 PHOENIX INDIAN SCHOOL-The anniversary exercises of the Phoenix Indian school. which will end with the commencement programme tomorrow night, began yesterday afternon at o'clock when the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class was delivered in the open air by Rev. w. II. Bagby.
