The Bond Issue Wins.

At the election yesterday the citizens
who favored a bond issue won great vic
tory. There were only 80 votss polled,
and it was a solid vote for issuing the
bonds. Less than one hundred persons
were qualified to vote at the election and
less than a dozen were opposed to the

EASY
QUESTIONS

In going to The Exposition,
would you take a local freight
Would you go on a hand-car
Would you go on a train that
you knew was not very safe?
Or would you take line that
ran the fastest, best and safest
trains
In buying fire insurance, it
would be well to follow the
same line of action, and buy
of the best companies, and of
the most experienced agents.
The companies we represent
are known the world over for
reliability. 1t is not a ques-
ton of price at all. We charge
no more for the best insurance
than the next best costs else
where.

Look Much.

When you take out
an insurance policy,
look everywhere and
get the best.
Do not be per-
Suaded by plausible
arguments. Do not
buy for friendships
sake. Do not pay out
a penny until you are
sure. 1t is a thou
sand times better to
spend a little time in
finding the best than
to spend years of re-
greet after your prop
erty is destroyed and
you cannot collect the
insurance.

TO c o A c%ENTENARlAN
Il Is Only to Take Up Your Residence
in Arizona or New Mexico,
According to This.

The pitiless logic of percent
ages as applied to vital statistics,
falls short of accounting for one
fact in the census repOrts-the
longevity of residents of the few
remaining territories of the cOun-
try, says the New York Sun.
OF 100000 persons in the popu-
lation of the average American
community, taking the whole
country through, there is just one
who reaches or exceeds the age of
100. AS the census computers
prOsaically express it, "99,999 die
before that time" One in 100000
is therefore the percentage OF cen
tenarians in the United States,
out in Arizona it is 10-ten times
as high as in the rest of the cOun-
try-and in New Mexico it is g.
nine times as high as in the other
portions of the United States.
Some states, Arkansas, Mime
sofa, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho,
have no centenarians. Some
states, Florida, California, New
. Hampshire, South Carolina and
Vermont, have a high rate of cen
tenarians-three times as large
+, as the average in the other states,
but much below the figures of Ari-
. IONA and New Mexico.
There are few centenarians in
, New England, but the number OF
, persons between IS and 100 there
i, is greater than in any other see
+, ton of the United States, and the
two New England states which
. are most noted on account of 0eir
! great number of old inhabitants
are Vermont and Maine Massa.
. ,husetts has a considerable mum.
= Der, but the people Of Massachu
sets are generally of a more pro.
) gressive character than those OF
the farming districts of Vermont
and Maine, and urban life is not
generally conducive to longevity
The number of centenarians il
p the territories is to be ascribed
probably, to favorable climat
ic conditions, for both Arizo
IA and New Mexico enjoy celeb
: rity as beneficial in pulmonary all
= ments. The question of territor
ial organization has probabl.
\ nothing to do with it.

THEY SUFFER FOR BEAUTY
Spanish Senoritas Bind Feet and Sleep
with Hands Suspended
from Rope.

"There are no lengths to which
some women will not 60 in quest
of beauty" remarked an erstwhilc
fashionable and beautiful woman.
Gin Spain, where a small foot and
white hand are the mode, many la
dies tightly bandage their feet up
at night on going to bed, and sleep
with their hands suspended over
their heads from pulleys, so as to
keep the blood from them.
81 was acquainted with a lovely
Frenchwoman who used to plas-
ter her face with a paste every
night, to keep away wrinkles and
give a clear complexion. She also
had a pair of white satin boots
sewn tightly on every morning.
and ripped off at night-a new pair
being required daily. Sleeping
with the face in a paste plaster,
however, is fairly common; and a
good many women use thin slices
of raw beef for the purpose"

The Cars Ukase.

The Gar OF tie Russias has issued
bis ukase relative to the redress OF
grievances petitioned for BY the
Zems,vos several weeks ago. The
document is exceedingly general in its
terms and omits all mention Of a con
stitutlon. It's promises are as follows;
First-A just ana equitable enforce
ment of existing laws with a view TO
securir- The harmonious administra-
tion Of all the courts.
Second-zemstvo organization with
a view to giving the widest latitude
and autonomy to the various ZemstvoS,
lcalling additional ZemstVo representa-
4 tives where required and creating
smaller Zemstvo units capable Of deal
ing directly With the local needs Of the
peasants.
Third-Equality of all citizens
before the law, this touching the much
mooted question of peasant equality
before the courts.
FoaEth-ArrangiBg a scheme OF
workmens' assurance for the benefit
and participation Of factory workers
throughout the empire.
Fifth-To secure citizens against
arbitrary arrest aud to accord immunity
for harsh action of the police except In
the cases Of persons known TO be con
spring to commit overt acts against the
stability OF the state.
Sixth-The religious freedom Of al
subjects of the empire without respect
Of creed Or manner of worship.
Sevenlb-For resembling all IN
necessary repressive laws, leaving il
force only those designed for thu
participation Of peasants and for TIT
benefit generally of subjects Of th'
empire.
Eigbtb-To accord the fulles
possible measure of liberty to the pres
and the removal as far as possible o
the various restrictive laws,
IThese promises will be found to b
Broadly meaningless and impressivel
rhetorical.
