JOYCE WAS CAUGHT.
His Friends Paid the Bill and He Was
Released.

William P. Joyce, who was con-
victed of selling oleomargarine for
butter at the last term Of court
and paid his fine and costs with
worthless checks, was brought here
by Sheriff Black, last week We'd
nesday. Joyce was first arrested
at Scranton, but as the deputy
sheriff was about to board the train
for Bloomsbury Joyce was taken
from his custody by a writ OF
habeas corpus which was return
able on September 3oth. When
Sheriff Black informed the court
that Joyce was wanted Oh bench
warrant issued by Judge Staples,
Judge Kelly of Scranton at ouce
turned him over to Sheriff Black,
who brought him to Bloomsbury
on Wednesday. In the afternoon
P. P. Jordan, a friend of Joyce,
arrived and wanted to settle the
case, offering an express money
order for the amount, which in
Guiding the subsequent costs, had
increased 10 S375.oS. But as the
officers and attorneys here had
been caught once on the worthless
checks they would accept nothing
but cash. Jordan sent for Thos.
O'Rourke of Scranton, who come
down with the money i'll the even
ing and paid it over to Sheriff
Black, and Joyce was released.
Some newspapers are criticisina
the harsh treatment given Joyce
by the officials, in locking him up
and treating him as criminal. 1"
Just how they would have had him
treated does not appear. He passed
checks on the officials which were
worthless, and then used every
effort to evade being brought back
here, and didn't pay until after he
was locked up. His treatment was
no harsher than was necessary to
get even with him, and it was no
more than he deserved. He brought
all his trouble on himself.

A RETROSPECT.
The Bloomsbury of To-Day
Compared With That of
Forty Years Ago.
Changes Time Has Wrought

Many residents of this town who
have lived here until they have
passed middle age, have seen a
great change in this community.
II the past forty years the character
of the business of the town has al
most wholly changed. That many
years ago the principal industries
were the iron furnaces OF the
Bloomsbury Iron Co., at Irondale,
and Of William Neal & Sons which
stood where the trolley power house
now stands. The iron mines and
the furnaces gave employment TO
hundreds of men. Nearly every
man who was connected with The
Irondale furnaces is dead. Charles
X. Paxton, the president, the Drink
ers, Jacob Edgar, and many other
have crossed over to the other shore.
Josiah Ralston who was superin-
tendent of the casting house, is
about the only one left.
New inventions in the methods
of making iron put these furnaces
out of date, as they could not sue
cessfully compete with the modern
furnaces, and when the ore became
worked out of the surrounding hills
to such depth that it could 40
longer be mined except at great eX
pense, and it became necessary to
haul ore here from a distance by
cars and boats, iron could no long
er be made at profit and the busi-
ness had to be abandoned. After
standing idle for some years the
furnaces were torn down, and the
present power house of the Iron
dale Electric Light Co. is all that
remains or what was once the plant
of the wealthy and prosperous
Bloomsbury Iron Co.
Up TO that time the town had
been largely dependent upon the one
industry. Since that time The
prosperity and growth OF the town
has been enhanced by the establish
ment of numerous large plants
which give employment to men,
women, boys and girls, and have
doubled the population.
Among the business men H. J.
Clark is the only one we can recall
who was engaged in the mercantile
business in those days who still con
tinues. The Lowenberg store ano
the Hartman store are conducted
by sons of the original owners.
David Lowenberg died many years
ago, and l. w. Hartman has re.
tired from business. The familiar
name of Meyer Bros. still remains
at the head of their big drug store,
and two of the original firm are
yet among our most prominen,
dealers. Time has wrought great
changes, and most of the signs on
Main street would be unfamiliar to
an old resident who would come
back here after an absence of thirty
years. He would find trolley lines
instead of the old Rupert stage
coach; electric lights instead of the
dismal gas post here and there OH a
street corner; telephone service and
all the conveniences of modern
times in town which compares in
beauty with any other of its size
anywhere.
"Times change and we are chang
ed with them.

Birthday parties are always en-

last Friday evening at the rooms of
the Young Women's Christian
Association was no exception. 1t
was the second birthday of the or
ganization. The rooms presented
a most attractive appearance. Two
hundred guests were present and
seemed to vie with one another to
make the evening a pleasant one.
Mrs. L. M. Gates, State President
of Pennsylvania and Maryland was
the guest of honor. She gave a
short address on the scope of the
work, its advantages to all young
women as we'll as to the town which
supports an Association. Mrs.

IF NOT, SIT UP

The New York World speaks edit orially of the many able democrats who wete temporarily exiled to private life when the populists gained possess ion of the party machinery in 1896"
 As a natter of fact the democratic party machinery did not fall into the hands of the popuiists in 1896, and we give the World credit for knowing it. The honest, progressive element of the democratic party Vas in control and it came very near winning. Had it been successful, there would be fewer scandals in probe today and the peo- pie would be happier.
 Perhaps the World has observed that none of the democratic leaders in the campaign of 1896 are now run hing to cover and preparing defense against accusations of grating or talk ing passage on foreign bound steam ships-Buffalo Times.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON YUMA

Yuma county is entering upon an era of remarkable prosperity. Yuma City will soon be the center of much interest, for the eyes of the country will be turned in that direction.
 The great dam for the diversion of the Colorado river waters, for the re clamation of lands, is now being con structed. This means volumes of busi- ness for Yuma. When completed it means thousands of additional popula- tion for Yuma.
 salton Sea is being formed It seems to be a fixed fact for the fu- ture. This means much of business fo: Yuma. In fact, it is liable to make an inland commercial city, because of the ocean traffic lines. which may come through the Gulf into the salton Sea.
 The Santa Fe railroad is already iu one section of Yuma county. The Southwestern, or Rock Island. coming from San Diego, will be there within the next eight months. This. means three through traffic lines for Yuma.
 No area of land in the United State: can compare with the richness of th' soil of the Colorado river valley, 10 cated in Yuma county This will al be brought under reclamation througl the great system of water diversion now being consummated by the gov ernment
 Yuma county and Yuma city vii be centers of much interest from nov on. Keep your eyes on Yuma.-Star

COL. eREENE,s GIFT

The gift by Colonel Greene to the county of the land required for the county poor farm and hospital. which the board of supervisors have decided to erect should be appreciated by all, as it will result in saving an expendit- ure from the public treasury of sever al thousand dollars in cash. Colonel Greene's affection for old Cochise re mains unshaken; it was in this county that he shared with many yet living the hardships of a pioneer life. There are hundreds of old residents of this county with whom Colonel Greene has stood side by side in the fight for civ ilization in Arizona and now that for tune has smiled upon him it is not un- natural that he should give the land for the poor farm. The gift will be the more appreciated because it is known that it comes with no hidden design or purpose, as it is hardly with in the range of pos abilities that Col. Greene will ever ask any favor from Cochise county, other than the con tinued good will of it's citizens.
 In all his ups and downs and during the exciting times at Cananea during the infancy of that camp Col. Greene had the good will and best wishes of hosts of friends in this county. May the colonel continue to reach success in all his great industrial undertak- ings will be the universal wish of Co chise county.

THE MIKADo'S WELCOME TO TAFT

Russia will have no cause for i'll feel ing for us on accovVt of Japan's effu- sive welcome to Secretary Taft. E= Taft is the first representative of the executive end of big government who has visited Japan since the beginning of the war. For that reason there is something of a noveltyin his appear ance on the scene. His stay lasted only a day or two, so that the demon strations in his honor had to converge to a point in order to take place at all. He represents a country which is not only especially friendly to Japan, but which is a near neighbor. through its possession of the Philippines.
 A particular element of interest for the Japanese is given to the Taft party by the advent of the presidents daugh- ter as a member of it. This insured for inc party a notable welcome from the nikado's government It would have done the same from the government of the czar had any part of the Russian dominion been on the Taft itinerary. A woman of distinction is always an ob- ject Of interest wherever she goes. This is especially true when, as in this easA. she is the daughter of the hear of g, geat state.
 There is no political significance i-.,, the greeting which .vapan gives to the American secretary of war. Russia will not take 'offense' at anything which has beer said or done during the Taft festivities ii f0kie The United States neutrality in the cobtliet has been rig idly maintained from the beginning. This country is the friend of Russia as well as of Japan. It has shown its friendship by inducing both sides to name commissioner to peace con ference which is to meet here. For Russia as well as for Japan the envir- onment in the United States will be pleasant. If American desires and in nuence count for anything, the meet ing here will bring a peace which will be satisfactory to both parties, and be followed by their lasting friendship. Russia, as well as Japan, has cause for gratitude to the United States. On neither the Japanese visit nor on any other part of the trip will Secretary Taft or his party give any cause foI umbrage to Russia.

THE UNITED STATES A NEUTRAL

Japan scored" well in American sentiment by the cor dial reception of Secretary Taft and i his guests. Beyond question, Russian oficialdom would as cordially greet a like American deputation, should ev- eats carry such deputation to the cap ital of that empire.

The mines in Cochise county are assessed for more than those of any other three counties in the territory combined.
