ANOTHER REFORM MOVE
A Plan to Throw Phoenix Into a Local
 Option District.

It is given out on good authority that a movement will shortly be set on foot to throw this town into a local option district. The city is already surround ed by such a district whose irregular inner boundary would be greatly dis turbed if the movement should prove successful.
 This thing has been talked about ever since the city election but little atten- tion was paid to it for the reason that 1t seemed hopeless to secure the nec- essary two-thirds vote for the estab- lishment of local option in the city and it was further enormously supposed that the local option law prevented the joining of any outside territory to an incorporated town for local option pur- poses.
 But it has been ascertained that that can be done if the necessary votes can be secured. The law provides that it shall be the duty of the board of su perVisors to order an election when ever petitioned to do so by as many as $50 voters in any county or by as many as fifty in any justices precinct or subdivision of the county as the board may designate or in any city or town. But it is further provided that if any precinct or subdivision em- braces within it's limits any incorporat- ed city or town or portions thereof, then the election shall be ordered only on petition signed by qualified voters not less than one tenth in number of the total vote cast for delegate to con gress in the next preceding general election by such incorporated city or town. But in making sub divisions for local option purposes no city or town shall be divided.
 It is said to be the purpose of the advocates of local option to establish a district taking in everything on the north side of the river. including the strong temperance regions of ScottsdaIe and the territory west of the city where the temperance idea has al ways been strong.
 It would not be possible to secure within the limits of Phoenix anywhere near a majority in favor of local op- ton but it is figured by those who are

and landed a left hook to body. White was still on the defensive and the lat ter did nothing but block, block, block, which was growing monotonous to the audience. Just before the round end- ed, Britt hooked his left to the face and the Englishman slowly ambled to his corner. Britt can't lose unless by a knockout at the hands of White.
 Round 19. Britt 1unged out with the left and was blocked. He kept forcing the pace and missed a left and right for the body. A similar attempt was also barren and Britt rocked Whites head with a full right swing to the chin. Britt missed a fearful left swing and a right swing partially caught the Britisher on the face. White kept Britt busy leading, blocking most of the Californian's attempts. One left reached the Englishmans chin lightly and then White tried left and right twice for the face but his efforts were unavailing. They went to the center of the ring and exchanged right and left swings as the bell denoted the end of the round. This round was very tame and tiresome with Britt still in the lead.
 Round 20 and last. They shook hands and Britt immediately sailed in, miss Ing R leIL TOT the lace. The pace quickened but the blows were easily blocked. Both fought at cIose quar- ters, with White mostly on the defen- sive. Britt suddenly uncorked a vi cious right on the body and in some in-fighting failed to connect with left and right for the jaw. Britt was careful, realizing that apparently the decision was his. The referee had to separate the men from a clinch and then Britt again put a right to the body and brought his right and left with a fearful force to Whites jaw, sending White tottering to the floor very grOggy. When the Britisher rose Britt went at him like a demon and sent him clear across the ring with right and left smashes to the face. The round was nearly over at this stage, but the police jumped in the ring and stopped the uneven contest and Britt was declared the winner amid tremen- dous applause.

stage the fight was about even, if any thing, Britt having a slight lead.
 Round 10. Britt missed a left swing for the head and a right for Whites face was also blocked White jabbed a straight letf to the face for which Jimmy countered with a left hook to the face. They swung themselves in- to a clinch and Britt sent in a raking right to the jaw and a left swing to the head. White got back at him however with a straight jab to the face. Britt's s blows seemed to excel in power those of his adversary. Roth missed several leads with straight lefts for the face and they fought to a clinch. White then sent his left to the face, bring ing blood from a gash over Jimmy's eye. Britt then sent in a tremendous slash to the Britisher's jaw, which forced him to cover quickly and the bell rang There was a cut over Britts eye from which blood trickled in a tiny stream as the Californian sought his corner. Round was an even one.
 Round II. They quickly rushed to a clinch and indulged in some might ing. neither landing. Britt was wild with a left and then a moment later hooked twice to Whites jaw with the left. There was a momentary Hull in the fighting and then Britt landed his left on the jaw and a left hook lightly to the body. Britt continued as the aggressor but White never broke ground. A clever exhibition of duck ing and blocking vicious swings was again in evidence and the crowd was much pleased. Britt swung a left thrice for the jaw, but was blocked and Whites efforts at a counter were also blocked. White was bleeding slightly from the mouth when he took his seat and Britts eye looked very bad indeed. Britts blows on the body were the only ones that seemed to puzzle White.
 Round 12 Britt at once shot his left to the stomach They spared and White sent Britt to the floor, with a

BULLDOG PICKETT
Will Throw Steers With His Teeth at
 EastIaKe Park Today.

This Is the day of the first steer throwing entertainment by Bulldog Pickett at Eastlake park under the management of Jack Gibson. Besides his turn there will be bronco riding to break tte monotony of the program and a moral exhibition may be de- pended upon.
 An effort was made a few days ago to describe Bulldog Pickett's feat but 1t was weakly pictured and since then various persons who have seen him do the trick have reported concerning its genuineness though all disagree as to just how he does it.
 There is only one thing certain and that is that he throws the steers with his teeth and those who are curious to know how it is done should go to the park today and see for themselves. He will throw three steers during the per formance, if all plans carry but unless he throws at least one as advertised the management guarantees to refund the money.

e NEXT WAR.

In Los Angeles, Cal. q reception
was given a few days ago to General
Cbaffee chief of staff. The general
made an address. Among other things
he said the following, predicting an
other war on the part Of the United
States in the not far distant future:
Gentlemen. war will come again.
There are plenty of men in this room
who Will see our country at war again.
Not on our own soil, perhaps. You
must remember that We have now be-
come Of the nations Of the earth.
we have great interests to defend.
When that war comes We must be in
diligently prepared for it. Modern
war is not what war used to be. No
one IS now fitted to troops
who is not a scientific and well trained
a d war must be scientific
cally treated to save human life. The
Jaranese are military people. but we
are not. We 10 not get on with mill
tary preparations as they do. but we
should be ready for the conflict"
General Chaffee, of course, would
not dare name the country with whom
he thought we would have our next
war. Had he done 50 his commander
in chief, the president. would be quick
TO call him to account for his conduct. |
One would judge though from the gen.
erals allusion, in connection with his
prediction of another war. to the pre-
paredness Of the Japanese for war;
that-he had that nation in his mindt
when he made the statement. But we
hardly think it was his intention to
convey such an idea. In the first
place had it been so he would not haveI
made the allusion to the japanese in
this connection, and in the second
place we think it most probable that
General Chaffee had his thoughts on
Il nation much nearer to America than
Japan when he made the predictiOn.I
We hope General Chaffee is mis-
taken in his reading of the signs of
the times, as we know does every other
citizen, but we cannot saw
we think he has read them incor-
rectly. The position of the United
States is such that there is no telling
she may be involved in a seriousI
quarrel with some European power.
Trouble with Germany is likely tol
any day. It is to be hoped.
though, that day will be long deferred.

and who claimed to be a married man
and that his wife was content with
three dollar skirts was, we feel sure,
making a false statement. Either his
wife is not content with the three dol
lar skirts he forces her to buy or he
has no wife at all. We strongly s,1s-
pect that he is an old bachelor and
KNOWS no more about what kind of
SKIRT contents a woman than a hog does
about Sunday. This judge in deciding
against the plaintiff in this case said:
No one need tell me that silk skirts

woman. NV wife finds it possible to

FADS IN MEMS DRESS.

Washington by appearing in the house
dressed in a suit of homemade Jeans

his and he had the clothes made by a
home tailor. He is very proud of the
suit and of the interest it has attracted

have requested that he secure them
suits of the same kind. Mr.. Aiken is
a splendid specimen of manhood. He
is over six feet in height and weights
two hundred and forty pounds. His
dark grey suit Of home-woven and
homemade clothes is very becoming
70 him; aud this is why other members
OF congress desire suits of the samej
kind.
ItWould be strange if this hereto
fore unknown South Carolina congress-
MAJ should set the fashion for con-
gressmen and other prominent men
about Washington to wearing this old
time style of clothes. There is no ac-l
counting for fancies in dress. Men arel
as falIciful as women in this respectl
II are as easily led by a new idea inI
dress. They have no room to criticised
