CONTRIBUTION PAPER IN
 DOUGLAS.

Douglas, Ariz., Sept. S.-(Special.)-
 J. L. Brown, who yesterday started a subscription to raise funds for as sisting in building the proposed wagon road from Churunibabi, a few miles north of Nacozari, on the railroad, thirty-five miles inland to the rich Bo- coachi mining country. has already succeeded in raising $500. The amount was gladly subscribed by the business men of Douglas, who realize that the opening of this road will make Doug las the logical supply point for the ter ritory, and who therefore feel that il is as much to their interest to have the road as it is to the mine owners who will be directly benefited.
 As things are at present there ap pears to be no doubt of the road beins built. nor of the benefit to be derived in this city from it's construction.

amount of work could be accom- plished."
 Opposition to the establishment of i free mail delivery in Douglas is. to my mind. opposition to the growth and progress Of the town" 1 With these words Deputy Customs : Collector Reace declared himself this { morning. IL is surprising to me how : any man can figure out that the de livery of mail will interfere with busi mess, no matter where ones store is located. When Douglas gets free de livery there will be several thousand people who will near of the place for the first time, and many of these peo- pie will take the trouble to looh the place up, and of these it is only req sonable to suppose that some will have their interest aroused to an ex- tent sufficient to send them on to look at the place. The population will be built up by free delivery as nothing else We can do will build it, for the establishment of free delivery here will be printed in papers throughout the country.
 Unfortunately, there was no Doug
 
 and consequently it cannot be found in the present records. The very fact that Douglas has become large enough in its short life to deserve this service | is a splendid advertisement, but unless the service is installed the benefit of the fact will not be received MT F C. Chapel expresses his de sire fer free mail delivery for Douglas by means of the InternatiOrai can voting ballot.
 ". 4. Meyers sends in a Yes vote and adds the following note:
 T think people who find objection to free mail delivery are very small and selfish They are something like the old saying: I first. then l again, then I once more. and if anything is left let the others have. it Free de livery will advertise Douglas more than anything that can be done, and il will bring many good citizens to this city, and those who kick now will be benefited by it."

STAGNANT POOL IS A MENACE
 TO HEALTH
Health Officer Greene EXa-
 mines Dumping Ground

Douglas, Ariz., Sept. S-(Special.)-
 Health Officer Green today said that he had investigated the condition of the dumping ground and the pool of stagnant water near the crossing of the Douglas street railway with the Nacozari tracks, which was pointed out by this paper some days ago, and that he would take immediate steps to have the place abated.
 That spot is certainly a menace to health" said Dr. Greene, and 1 am going to abate it. I have already given orders for signs in Spanish and English to be painted and posted on the site. warning people to refrain from throwing garbage, refuse or any thing else dangerous to health near the place. It is a violation of the Ter ritorial law to throw garbage or refuse of any kind within 500 feet of a public road or within 1000 feet of any house.
 The place in question is covered with tin cans, and a can of water can breed a million mosquitoes, each one O. which is capable of carrying dis ease over a wide territory. l do not know what can be done with the cans already there, nor with Lne low place where the water stands, but both are a menace to health. and I propose bring ing the matter before the board at the next meeting. which will be held in Tombstone on October 1st It is likely that measures will then be taken to fill the place and clean up the refuse.
 There is a place on Eighteenth street, out near the ball park. which am trying to have cleaned up, also There some one has been in the habit of dumping decayed matter. and the Spanish and English signs will go there also. When these two places are cleaned out and the dumping stopped I believe Douglas will be free from any danger from such sources" "

DEFENSE OF GIRLS SCHOOL,
BY Members of State Board of Chari-
ties and Correction.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 22.-Just after
the State Humane Society started its
investigation into the conduct of af-
fairs at the State Industrial School for
Girls the State Board of Charities and
Correction, under whose supervision
the school is run, visited the institu-
tion and reported to the governor as
to Its condition. After the report of
the Humane society, which so severely
criticised the entire management. was
made public. the Board of Charities
and Correction held a meeting, which
lasted until midnight, and at its close
made public their statement to the
governor.
The statement among other things
says: The board has just made
careful investigation and has found
that the charges are groundless. The
inmates have been punished in a man.
ner necessary to preserve discipline in
the school. We do not believe a single
case of wanton cruelty or undue pun
ishment can be cited. Unless a certain
corrective discipline is maintained it
would be impossible to keep the school
In existence single hour. Inmates
have been punished for violating the
rules of the institution. Girls have
bSNL ioShSu III CtilS DtNduSt IL was
found necessary. In most cases the
failure to do so would have resulted
In destruction and the total loss OF dis
cipljne."
The report finds that many Of the
difficulties of the school are brought
about because of the lack of funds
necessary with which to carry on the
work. In conclusion the report recon-
mends:
First, the segregation of the inmates
into buildings according to their moral
character.
Second, that the experiment of farm
ing be abandoned, as 1t necessitates
the employment of men and imposes
an unnecessary tax upon the superin-
tendent.
Third, that the inmates be employed
only in the handicraft of women as
sewing, cooking, laundering, etc. and
in acquiring an English education.
Governor Mcdonald is said to have
stated that he was wholly in accord
with all of the provisions Of this re-
port.

Gas in Gunnison Tunnel.

Denver, Aug. 22-A Republican spe-
cial from Montrose last night says:
The oil excitement has been at fever
heat during the last two days here.
Saturday night every livery or other
rig that could be secured was in SER
vice and people worked all night stalk
ing lands below the Gunnison tunnel
in which natural gas was struck Sat
urday afternoon. To-day people We're
still making locations and it is con
servatively estimated that fully 10000
acres of land have been located.
The government officers are putting
in an eighteen-inch pipe to remove the
gas from the shaft. where work had to
be stopped until safety lamps arrived.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Aug. Il.
There was a good supply OF cattle
mt all points last week and prices gen
orally lower than the week before.
Eastern markets report good choice
:ornfed beef steers about steady, but all
other grades note very material de-
cline. On the local market there was
very few of the choice kind offered and
prices were very nearly steady on best
beef steers at the close. Common kinds
were about quarter lower. Cows con
stituted the bulk of the supply, as has
been the case for several weeks.
There were only a few loads of good
ones noticed, however, and the trad
ing was draggy on the common stuff,
Good cows are weak to 25
cents lower, with common stuff
showing a decline Of about 40 cents.
Best grass steers sold up to $4.OO dur
IN the week with the bulk at 1925 to
S3.S5. Cows sold up to $500. but 1t
took good ones to bring This price, and
the most of the sales were made
around s2.25 to s265 Bulls were
about steady and veal calves strong to
dime higher. The supply OF feeders
and stockers was light and trading
quiet. The demand was fair but not
heavy. Prices at the close We're rs to
30 cents lower in sympathy with the
eastern decline. Very few country
buyers are showing up as yet at any of
the markets, as it is still very hot in
the East and flies are bad, and feeder
buyers are not ready 10 stock up. In
dications are that there Will be more
buyers on this market a little later in
the season than ever before, however
and trading is expected to be good.
While the decline here looks large,
eastern markets show still larger de
probation and practically everything
forwarded from here has lost money.
1t has been no uncommon thing this
week for shippers to sell out at the
river for 20 to 35 cents less money
than they paid here.
Hogs have been in good supply and
the market unchanged from last week
with S6.05 still representing about the
top. The demand is fair.
The trade in sheep was light, as only
a few arrived. All offerings sold un-
der a very good demand at strong
prices, and quotations are higher than
they We're a week ago. Good demand
here for limited number of killers.

Boilers Were Safe.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Secretary
Bonaparte to-day received, and as soon
as he had himself read it, made public
the findings of the court of inquiry
which investigated the explosion of
the gunboat Bennington at San Diego,
California, July 21st. The findings
were complete surprise, for they at
once set at rest the stories that had
been circulated to the effect tina: the
Bennington's boilers and perhaps those
of other naval vessels of the same age
were defective. AS a matter of fact,
the court found the explosion resulted
from the closing of valve which con-
nected the exploded boiler with its
steam gauge, so that the pressure on
the boiler may have, been several hun
dred pounds to the square inch when
the accident occurred.
The officers and men who were re-
sponsible. in the opinion of the court,
are pointed out and courtmartial pro-
ceeeings suggested In the case of the
only one OF them surviving. Ensign

EARTHQUAKE SHOCK
SHARPLY FELT IN FIVE STATES
iremor Shakes st. Louis, Memphis,

NO Damage Reported.

st. Louis. Aug. 22.-St. Louis and
vicinity was visited by an earthquake
last night shortly after IL O'Clock.
Three distinct shocks were felt by
thousands Of persons in St. Louis and
st. Louis county, as far as Belleville,
Illinois, as far south as Memphis,
Tennessee, and as far north as Spring
field, Illinois.
While the tremors lasted scarcely
minute, they We're distinct enough to
awaken sleeping residents of the city,
to cause dogs to bark in alarm and
to wake sleeping children who cried
out in terror.
The shocks, from a comparison OF
the time they were felt in the districts
visited, seemed to travel from east to
west. There was but an infinitesimal
period between the shocks, but a sec
ond intervening between the first and
second spasms. and about three sec
onds between the second and third, or
final shock.
The trembling of the earth was ac-
companied by dull rumbling noise,
which sounded like the passing of
distant freight train.
