Bisbee daily review., 1905-07-22

The retail business men have been great sufferers from the express mo- nopoly, but they seem to have tired of protesting against its extortionate charges. but perhaps will arouse them selves again to action when congress meets by joining in demanding Of their senators and representatives that the parcels post measure be passed. More than one United States senator is di- reetly interested in the express com panies, and nearly every senator holds frank which entities him to free ex- pressagc. A goodly sprinkling of mem- bers of the house are tarred wi;h tue same brush.
 These express franks and r2il-Tsy passes Lave had Q good deal to O wi.h exeEpfing the express companies ai q, the railways from hostile legislation. If you want parcels post and control Of railway rates urge your congress man to vote for these reforms and promise that if he does not carry out your desire your vote will be recorded agaicst him for rcnomina ton and cleo ton.

THE EXPRESS MONOPOLY.

mand a Parcels Post.
 As grinding a monopoly as the trusts or the railroads is the express com bine. Although there has been nc open consolidation of express compa. nies, there is no competition between them, and there is not much doub, that "a genteman's agreement ex- ists such as the beef trust has. The express companies charge ''aIl the traf. fie will bear" and a good deal more ir many instances. On small packages under four pounds in weight they compete with the postofIice except the points west Of the Mississippi river, and on printed matter they beat Uncle Sam on his cent pound rate, show ing there must be a profit on the low est rates they charge
 The Orga nized farme7s-tbe granges and aliiances-have long protested against the unreasonable express charges and have been demanding that ,the parcels post be enlarged to com pete with the express companies. The dabor unions are now joining ip the demand and calling upon President Roosevelt to urge this matter as well as the control of railway rates upon congress when he calls the special ses- sIoz.

On Sunday. July 23. the Bisbee baseball club will cross bats with Ithe Ft. Huachuca club, composed of new players. recent arrivals at the post. Report from the post says that the club is one of the fastest in western army circles. Tucson will be here a week from next Sunday. Baseball has not been a financial sue. cess in Bisbee this season, and it is re. ported that the present management has been financially embarrassed. Thus far this condition has accounted for the non-appearance of the Mo renci and Clifton clubs but this big attraction is promised for the very near future

The Kid" pulled cut for Cananea yester- day When seen at the train by a Review nan he stated that ha was in the pink of condition, and had no fear of the result Of the hstic battle. He finished the rough part of his train ing on Thursday afternoon, and since that time nas only been taking enough light exercise to keep him in condition. McClung departed chuck full of confidence, and as the train pulled out of the station said:
 T will put Benson out before the fifteenth round" It is the general ex- pectation that the fight will go to a finish. While t is advertised for a | twenty-round go. a well known sport stated that there was a private agree ment to the effect that at the end of the twenty rounds either party to the contest had the right to demand as many additional rounds as desired. Benson will depart for Cananea this morning He looks to be in even
 better condition than McClung. and is equally confident Of winning the fight. The two principals have met in the | ring before on two different occa- sions. and honors thus far are evenly
 divided. The fight at Cananea will
 be the deciding bout.
 Large crowd will go from Bisbee
 to witness the mill, and train will

Complaint is made by people resid. ing in the neighborhOod of the Gym. nasium of the gathering at a lumber pile in the vicinity of a gang of tough boys during hours of the day as well as night. The obscenity indulged in by the youth is said to be shocking in the extreme. PeqQ.e in the neigh borhOod are obliged to close their doors to protect their ears.
 This particular neighborhood is no worse afflicted than are various other localities in the city where boys are allowed to congregate and indulge in vile language without interference from the officers.

Show the Condition of the Rotten
 Republican Machine.
 The trial in Washington of those in- dicted for postofiice frauds is dragging slowly along. with most of those charg- ed with cOmplicity still unwhipped of justice In Oregon there has just commenced the trial of those indicted for the gigantic land frauds, which in- vSlYs greater pecGniary value-than any other knsWn frauds against the gov ernment Both the Republican con Gressmen from that state and Senator Mitchell are under indictment, but in fiuenee may aid them in escaping con- victiOn. Even greater frauds are said to exist in California, and Q new nest of robbers has just been discovered in North Dakota.
 All these frauds are in consequence of the appointment of machine poll ticians to office at the recommendation of Republican senators and congress men, which shows the rotten condition of the Republican machine With such condition of affairs is it any wonder that legislation to control railroad rates, laws to curb the trusts and tar if revision to prevent the combines selling cheaper abroad than here are promised, but do not materialize from the party in power? The Republican party has one more chance 10 redeem itself from the charge of complicity with frauds and copartnership with corrupt corporations, and the meeting of the next congress will have to be waited to know the result.

Cold Storaue
 BEEF

Not shipped in from a Cold Storage Plant but from our own cold storage here in Bisbee.
 This means more than you will rec ognize at first glance. Cold storage beef shipped in is not in as good con- dition to be marketed to the B;sbee consumers as our beef. We buy our own cattle, kill them ourselves and then put them in our cold storage, from which the meat is sold to you direct from the cold storage on short notice. Therefore our meat comes to you fresher with less chance from taint during this hot weather.

may well be proud of when it is I'M

female department and viii be mod
ern in every respect There will be
ffty-four cells, 9x6 feet.
The present building occupied by
the female department is situated in
a sunny corner of the grounds, away
from the other buildings and is sur
rounded by its own walls. There is a
wide grassy lawn and flower beds that
make the place lose the hard uncoEl-
Portable look that usually character
ICES such buildings.
Broad clean steps lead up to the
door and into a small reception half
This opens into a very large, bright
room where the women sit with their
sewing after their work is done. Most
Of the cells are ranged along the sides
of this room Aside from their grated
doors these little rooms have little of
the appearance of cells. They are
comfortable and airy, most of them
always dressed in the snowiest of
linen. There are curtains at the Win
dows and pictures on the walls The
women are allowed to furnish these
things for their rooms when they are
considered good prisoners
In the season when they are in
bloom, plants are set around in the
building and add much to the bright
ness of the surroundings.
The room where the women cook and
eat occupies the most of the large base
ment Their food is the same as that
provided for the men only it is cooked
on range instead of by steam. The
tables and floors are spotless and every
thing is bright and clean. The rest of
the cells and the bath room open from
this ROOM These with the exception Of
the suite occupied by the matrons are
all the rooms in this department.
The laundry is in a separate building.
The women work there every cay until
noon. 1t is large airy place and is fit

A Quiet Sewing Society.
A few of the women go to their cells
sit in the large room. They enjoy do
ing the dainty drawnwork which finds
such ready sale it is hard to keep a
supply.
When one enters the room presided
over by the white goWned matronS it
does not appear much like a prison. If
it were not for the armed guards in the
tower outside and the grated doors
within, one might think that he had
stumbled into a meeting of a sewing
society. 1t differs only in that there is
no noise of voices. The women are MT
allowed to talk and here as every
where else in the prison there is the
same hush and stiffness

KAW RIVER SUITS.
Four of Them Are Filed in Federal
Court Against Railroads.

Four suits were fled in the United
States court on Saturday afternoon by
United States Attorney Dean against
corporations charged with blocking
the Kaw river. The defendants are
the Union Pacific Railroad company,
the Rock Island Railroad company,
the Missouri Pacific Railroad company
and the Kansas City Belt Line Rail-
way company
The petitions ask the Judge of the
United States court to enioin the de-
PENDANTS from maintaining bridges
over the Kaw river at Kansas CITY I'M
less the war department approves of
the plans.
The plaintiff declares that the Kaw
river has been declared navigable, but
that the bridges at Kansas City make
navigation impossible with the bridges
in the present condition 1t is stated
that steamboats, have attempted to
come UP the I<aw river but that they
were unable to do so on account of
the bridges
1t is not the use Of the river that is
the main point sought by the plain
tiffs, but its obstruction so that floods
occur whenever the river overfloWs its
banks. The Commercial club of Kan
sas City, Kan, was appealed to by the
residents of the river districts to get
the matter into the courts and see if
the railroads cannot be forced to raise
their bridges and take awa-r the

Famous Band VIII Play at Vinewood
in the Summer.

Arrangements have been made finally
for the appearance here at VineWood
this summer of lines and his band. The
exact dates will be announced later
This is the most noteworthy engage
ment that Vinewood has ever had, and
it has taken two years of hard work to
bring it about. Negotiations to insure
the bands coming here were started
last spring, but it was impossible to
secure the organization, as it was book
ed so long at the St. Louis exposition
The same thing would have happened
this time, had not the park manage
ment noted that the band was to open
the Portland exposition and very early
took steps to secure a weeks stop off on
its way back from there. This has now
finally been arranged, the park having
a right to claim time. as it had in an
order for the bands appearance as long
ago as last April. This will insure to
Topeka full week of this organization,
and marks the high water point in the
way of attractions that Vinewood has
presented to Topeka.
The man and the band are well
known as one of the most remarkable,
sensational and unique in America. But

ualIy guilty, but she refused to testify
and is held as an accomplice. She is
a good prisoner and in one way is to
be admired for her loyalty to her
family. One Of her sons died in the
prison of consumption. His mother
stayed with him during his last sick
ness. When the end came she went
back to her place with another burden
to bear. Tt is as hard for a mother
to give up her son. inside the prison
wall, as It Is for those outside in the
world.
Sometimes on bright days a little
slender woman can be seen standing
out at the corner of1one Of the build
lngs. This is Jessie Morrison. whose
trial attracted so much attention all
through the west. She is quiet and
reserved, an expert needleWoman
and a model prisoner
There are two life time prisoners
among the women, one, a young girl
who killed her baby. The other is an
older woman who was convicted of the
murder of her husband.
OF the thirty-one prisoners sixteen are
white women. The women convicted in
the federal courts are included in this
number. The last one brought in was
sentenced to serve one year for having
forged a pension check. She is a Wo-
man with tired, care-worn face and
looks, as though she had had a hard
time in life. For a year at least, she

coming from.
This department is a remarkably
healthy place, only one woman hav-
ing died there in years. The majority
of the women are cheerful and find
pleasure in their work. They have the
same keen power for enjoyment of the
little pleasures that come to them as
have the men. At the Christmas show

measure is taken and she is given a
nice suit to wear. She can also take
any of the fancy work that she may
have made in her spare time.
After the early supper is over the wo-
men go to their cells and their time is
their own. Some of them read and some
sew. At S:45 O'Clock they put away
their work and prepare for bed. Then
the '-all right" bell rings. the lights go
out in the cells and deeper quiet, if
that is possible, settles down over the
woman's ward.
With all the brightness and the con-
cessions that it is possible to make, it
is still a prison. Nothing can alter that.
There are the hard iron clad rules, the
lonely isolation and the time spent in
regret for the opportunities that are
past
Surely the man was right who said
that life time in a prison is more
punishment than the few seconds suf-
fering at the hangman's rope.
