RAINFALL At elsHEE.
All Previous Records Have Already
Been Passed in the Arizona Town
BY Seven Inches.

BY Seven Inches.
Bisbee, Arizona. April 2S.-The
rains of Saturday, Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday raised the total precipf.
tation in this city for the months since
January 1st to the unprecedented
amount of 10 inches.
Such rainfall for the winter and
early spring was never before known
in any section Of Arizona. 1t is an
advance of almost double the annual
rainfall Of the Territory in recent
years.
The nearest approach to the present
season Of rain was in 1882, when
twelve inches was had. This was
then considered marvellous, no record
at that time showing an equal amount
OF precipitation for any previous win
ter season. This rain, however, came
almost altogether in the month Of
February, following which It cleared
and the spring weather set in. The
rainfall this year has amounted in
each month 50 far to more than an
average winters precipitation, and the
end is not yet in sight. Another new
feature in connection is the continued
cold weather.

RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
ACI AS LoNGsHon-4MEN

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 12.-The steamship Centennial reached port last night after a voyage to the mouth of the Amur river, for which place she sailed from San Francisco on June 12th. Her officers say that only the fog and her captains nerve saved them from capture by the Japanese Under command of Cap ain Strand, the Centennial sailed rom San Francisco with a cargo of salt and flour.
 It is understood that she was un- der charter to n man named Louri, who claimed that he was taking the cargo to a cannery which he owned at Nikolaievsk, some distance from the mouth of the Amur.
 The Centennial dropped archor fifty miles off Nikolaievsk. Here she was obliged to wait for nineteen days before she could discharge her cargo and get away.
 Although the cargo of the Centen- nial was said to have been shipped by private party, the fact that the work of discharging it was done by Russian soldiers caused her crew to suspect that 1t was not for private use.

Brown, the original discoverer of gold on Little Creek, in which an injunction was asked restraining the defendant from mining, operating, or extracting gold from No. below Discovery on Little Creek, came up in the district court before Judge Moore today.
 This action was brought because the Pioneer Mining Company nine months after the discovery of gold on No 1 below Discovery, suddenly discovered the ground in question belonged to them J. c. Brown, In an elaborate and lucid answer, showed that he had located the claim in 1901, and that the title was his not only by that location, but also by two other locations-in 1902

Benjamin A. whitely, Assistant Treasurer of the company, was re- called and asked to explain why cer- tain increases in the company's capi- tai stock were made. whitely said that the capital was used in acquiring several independent gas and electric companies in various parts of the city. It developed, however. that nearly $11,- ooO.0OO profits realized on the sale of the stock was not accounted for In the statement.

 The witness afterward stated that the discrepancy in the accounts was apparent and due to the fact that properties were purchased at a higher price than appeared in the companys statement.

JOHN SAYS
"MOre of the New Coffee, Please"

A lady from the Land of the Sky in North Carolina says:
 This winter while on a visit further down South where everybody seems to be slave to coffee, one day found my hostess prone on her couch. So giddy and ohI how my head aches,' 'Cofee. l said warningly. She supposed so. and what else could she drink? Why Post um,' l replied. But that is so insipid and John does not like it. He calls 1t dish water I thought of the kind of Postum the darkey cook had served, and asked her if I might make her a cup. So into the kitchen l went and made Postum as we have it at homo rich, clear and fragrant, after good long boiling to bring out the flavor.
 II brought 1t to her in one of the daintiest cups. and she drank under protest, declaring it might make her head worse. She exclaimed Why, how nice this is. You don't mean this is P0stum? l told her the difference was only in the making, She had had 1t be- fore boiled only d few minutes and now she had 1t made according to di- rections that are plain enough on each package.
 Tn about an hours time she sat up and laughing a little said her head felt nearly well and the glddiness was all
 
 The next morning we had Postum (made right) for breakfast, We told John 1t was a new coffee We wanted him to try. He called for a second cup and the next morning called for some more of that new coffee.
 Quite a while after we had been serving it regularly, John spoke of feeling so much better. He had gotten over his nervousness, and only then did we dare tell him he had been steadily using the once despiscd Postum.
 Before I left of coffee my com plexion was bad and sometimes my temper worse. The complexion has cleared up in a most remarkable way. I had better refer to the other mem- bers of the family for testimonial as to a change in temper, leastwise we all abandoned coffee about two years ago for it affected us more like liquor, and every member of my family showed the affect of 1t in nervous. trembling sem sations, occasional dizzy spells. and more or less liver complaint All of these symptoms have disappeared since we made the change to Postum."

A table showing the concentration of financial power in the hands of a few diqectors is the most Illuminating contribution to the discussion of corporate management that has appeared recently.
 As interest In the battles of the cas- tern war is giving way to the Hull that precedes the reaction of peace. the two studies of post-bellum problems are especially timely. MT.

The second article Is "rhe Wars Dis closure of the Orient" by T.
