cred each evening.

tom of THE DISPATCH to publish

every night throughout the week.
That Mr.. Dudley is an exception
ally good actor there can be no
doubt, and if he will only display
good judgement and secure some
able and experienced manager to
direct his tours his future is as
sured. Miss Helen Aubrey, who
joined the company here, and
who played the leading female
roles during the latter half of the
engagement. is, perhaps, one of
the best actresses ever seen here
with a repertoire organization.
and her appearance added not
only to the artistic effect of the
plays produced but helped to
swell the crowds, the receipts
having been larger after she join
ed the company than any pre-
vious night.
1t is more than likely that Mr..
Dudley will appear here again
later in the season. AS he is max
ing arrangements to replace sew
eral of his people his company
will be stronger then than the
one at present supporting him.
Suzanne Santje in" Sowing the Wind
Sowing the Wind" a roman
tic drama in four acts by Sidney
Grundy, which received it's first
presentation in this country at
the Empire Theatre, New York,
where it ran for an entire season,
will be seen here on Thursday
night at the Columbus Theatre,
with Miss Suzanne Santje IN the
stellar role of ROsamond. The
story of Sowing the Wind" con-
Germs the love affairs of an adop-
ted son, Ned Annesley. and a
young actress. T b central
theme, of course, in this charm
ing love story, and the influence
brought to bear upon Ned An
nesley by his adopted father in
an endeavor to part the young
lovers, serves as the means for
the introduction of exceptionally
strong scenes between the par
ties concerned. Ned Annesley,
however, through it all. being
deeply in love with Rosamond,
insists upon marrying her, and
after considerable tumult, trials,
tribulations and the final win
ming Of his fathers consent, he
succeeds in marrying the girl of
his choice. 1t is a pretty story,
con 5aining it's pathetic side as
we'll as It's numerous episodes,
and it is exceedingly we'll han
died by Sydney Grundy. The
scenes of the play are laid in
Englard d in the early part of the
nlneteeuUh OeHtury which gives
opportunity for color and pict-
uresque stage settings. The de-
nOuement of the third act is a
thrilling climax in which is
brought to light the fact that
Rosamond is none other than the
daughter of Brabazon, Ned s
adopted father. and his cheerful
consent is given to the betrothal
of the young couple, and the play
ends happily for all concerned.
Miss Santje. who will enact the
role of Rosamond. is a young
woman of great beauty, and pos-
sesses unusual histrionic ability.
Edward r. Mawson will essay
the part of Brabazon, and the
cast otherwise will be strong,
careful selections having been
made by Manager Al. S. Roth of
such players whose abilities
would qualify them to properly
bring out the good points of Mr..
Grundy's characters in the play.

Thatcher, July 27.
The justice court has been kept
quite busy this week straightenlng
out Gath entanglements. Such
things often follow a celebration
and usually those who participate
In them emerge from the conflict
with lightened purses and heavy
hearts.
On Tuesday Tom Rose donated
nice, little fine to the county for
disturbing the peace.
On Wednesday Carl. Pace and
Willard Blaine were before his
honor for indulging in little
frolic at the dance Monday night
out of which young Blaine came
with his face looking like he had
been shot through wood pile.
Pace was charged with assault
and battery with intent to do
bodily injury and Blaine with
fighting. The complaints were
sworn to by Marshal Bingham and
the serious charge preferred
against young Pace on the theory
that he used brass knuckles, al
though he strongly denies this.
Lee N. Stratton was employed to
defend Pace and after the introduce
tion of some testimony Blaine was
discharged and Pace permitted to
plead guilty to assault.

Huge Boilers Burst

San Diego, Cal, July 21.-
Thirty-five men are known to have
been killed outright and almost
100 more wounded in this harbor
when two of the boilers of the
United States steamship Benning-
ton blew up with report like the
discharge of 100 thirteen-inch
guns. Two hundred and fifty men
were aboard.
The vessels decks were rent
asEpder and the bodies OF some of
the Victims were hurled 100 feet
into the air.
Catapulted by the awful power
Of the explosion the hundred men
or so we're scattered like so many
pebbles about the waters of the
inner harbor.
1t is estimated that the number
of men killed will eventually total
55. The list Of wounded has not
yet been entirely completed.

Work on Arizona Eastern Progresses

Mr.. r. R, Coleman, chief con-
tractor of the Randolph lines, was
visitor in Tucson today. He was
asked about the work on the Ari
zona Eastern railroad and stated
that the construction work east
from Dudleyville, in the direction
of San Carlos, is progressing slow
ly but steadily. The work is not
progressing rapidly, not because
of diliatory methods, but because
the work is very heavy. It is be-
ing done as fast as possible. About
seven miles of heavy grade have
been completed, and the company
is still pegglng away along the
Gila valley on the route to San
Carlos.
There are at present about $50
men there divided into two camps,
with about sixty-fve teams. Men
are continually being sent out and
the force would now be double
that number if the men were avail
able, but owing to the fact that
many are working in the harvest
fields who would otherwise be
available for the force, it is not as
large as they could wish.
Mr.. Coleman remarked that
some people think much more
than seven miles of grade should
be accomplished by this time, but
these people do not know what the
work of putting those seven miles
in shape means-Tucson Citisen.

Poor Farm Decided Upon

The Tombstone .Prospector says;
At the recent meeting Of the board
it was decided by the supervisors
to inquire into the title of the
Haviland ranch, on the San Pedro,
with a view Of purchasing same
for the county poor farm. The
board has investigated several
sites, but find the Haviland place,
which has teen under cultivation
for years, is the most satisfactory,
as the E. P. & S. W. passes one
corner Of the ranch, and patients
could be landed without much in
convenience. Final action for the
purchase will be taken at the
August meeting of the board.

A Much Appreciated Visit

On Sunday night, the choir and
Rev. Evans from Solomonville
paid visit to the Methodist
church at Stafford. The music was
good and much enjoyed by all
present. The choir was somewhat
handicapped on account of the alb
sence of their principal basso, Mr..
Merrill. who was absent through
indisposition. If this star bass
singer had only been present, we
would have been forced to exclaim:

Rnbx Beef PRODUCTION.

This method of production cannot be
universally adopted, for, while there is
q strong demand for baby beef on the
home markets, it is not suited to ac-
company the great surplus Of nearly
100000 Of live cattle into the export
trade. Perhaps more potent reason
why baby beef production cannot be-
come universal is found in the fact
that none but the skilled breeder and
feeder who Is willing to devote his
most painstaking energies to the work
can make a success of it. 1t is without
question line of production requiring
experience and the exercise Of good
judgment in feeding and the careful
performance of all detail work in order
to insure suceess.-Professo Shaw of

"a Fool and His Money"

Not since the days of Coal Oil
Johnny has the American public
been presented with such an exhi-
bition of fooIishness and reckless
extravaganza as it is now witness
ing in the moving picture show of
Scotty of Death valley, in his
spectacular, record breaking trip
across the continent. Voluminous
reports are telegraphed all over
the country of the sayings and do
ings of this erratic fellow, says the
Denver Nelcs, in whose way chance
has apparently thrown a gold mine,
the product of which has made
him, for the time being at least, a
Croesus--one who blazes forth like
a comet for few days Of ephemer
al glory only to sink once more
into the obscurIty from which be
emerged and be forgotten.
1t is strange vagary of human
nature that men coming suddenly,
as they sometimes do, into great
wealth, and knowing all the trials,
vicissitudes and wretchedness
which are the common lot of SO
many, rarely, if ever, lay hold of
the opportunity which kindly fate
brings to their doors for alleviat-
ing the misery of their fellows.
There is little question that, should
a deserving case of human need be
brought to the attention Of this
reckless prodigal now pouring out
his wealth in a golden shower
"without rhyme or reason" he
would be swift and generous, and
it may we'll be doubted whether
be has ever passed beggar on the
street without contribution. Yet,
despite this natural generosity,
vanity and its qualification are the
consuming ambition of this type.
This is the motive behind
Scotty's exhibition Of reckless,
wasteful prodigalitY. Yet, when
contrasted with the other extreme
seen more often in real life, who
shall say that the spectacle of
Scotty throwing away his money
is not 0 more edifying one than
that of the miser who boards his
every penny

companies are assessed Just about
on par with the railroads.
Thera ahonld ha a la,y ,,Iaoad IN

companies are assessed Just about
on par with the railroads.
There should be a law placed on
eur statues through which the
assessor could appeal from the de-
cision of the board in cases where
taxes are reduced and permit the
assessors evidence to be reviewed
by the court. Under the present
law, the companies could have ap-
pealed, but they would not have
done so, had the board allowed
the assessment to stand, but when
1t is reduced, no matter whether
there are grounds for the action or
not, the county has no redress.
The big crocodile tears shed by
the Era in another article over the
poor, tax-ridden mining companies
is truly pathetic. We don't sup
pose the mining companies knew
they had been so badly treated be.
fore. 1t appeals to Governor
Kibbey to see that they are not
over taxed. We don't believe there
is any intention of overtaxing
them. They would have to be
taxed many million dollars higher
than at present before they are out
of proportion with other property.
If the papers Of the mining camps
want to be fair let them advocate
the assessing of all property justly,
no matter whether it be mining
property, railroads, cattle, land or
merchandise. When this is done
there can be no complaint.

FROM the reports that reach here
from the county seat the board OF
supervisors, who have been sitting
as board of equalization for some
time past, are in reality acting in
that capacity. 1t is said they are
raising the assessed valuation on
every kind of property in the coun.
ty, especially that oflarge concerns
that have not, in the past, been
paying their just proportion of the
taxes Such move as this is
bound to bring down the enmity
of the corporations on the bead of
of each member Of the board, but
they are men who are not to be
swerved from what they believe 10
be their duty, and they are trying
to perform it to the best Of sher
ability. For this they will receive
the hearty thanks of the smaller
taxpayer, who always has paid
more taxes in proportion to what
he has than the large concerns.

no matter who or what is touched.
