case is plain enough. They want official
jobs. and want them for the sake of the
salaries, pretty generally. Any rich
man who aspires to political preferment
can always command the services of re-
tanners of certain class. Clements inn
mediate lieutenants are all this element.
Actually there is no great difference
between the programmes of the various
parties-nothing that is, of large and
vital import, sufficient to divide public
opinion into warning camps. In truth,
Clement is without great issue.
Stripped of political or ethical reason
for its existence, what is the real animus
of the Clement endeavor ?
Simply the desire of a natural insur-
gent to accomplish the overthrow of
regular party organization and its candi-
dates for reasons quite apart from con-
siderations of public policy.
These reasons are two: An inherited
feud of the house of Clement against the
house ofsProctor, and the ambition of
Percival w. Clement to become senator
Of the United States.
There you have, in sentence, the ex-
PLANTATION of the Clement enterprise
which appears before the people mas
querading as a political revolution in
behalf of popular emancipation from
ring rule" and which has succeeded in
forcing upon the Democratic party an
alliance which that party is destined to
heartily regret and of which it is already
far from proud.

In his address to the students at
Hampton Institute President Roosevelt
said
If there one thing l would like espec-
tally to impress upon you, it is to advise
you to take up work on the farms with
the intention of owning them, taking up
agricultural work. In doing that you
will be doing only what the best. the
most intelligent and most advanced white
people are more and more growing to do.
The growth of agricultural colleges and
their development has been one of the
significant features of education for the
white race in almost all of the states Of
this union, because more and more have
people grown to roallZ. to-, [ child of
the farmer must be developed scientific
ally, his abilities be given full play as
they can be given only through the aid
of education and science. SO that, on
the one hand the profession itself shall
become more and more attractive to men
of brains and intelligence, and so that,
on the other hand, it shall be recognized
more and more as being the one profess
sion, the failure to develop which in this
country would mean that the develop
ment of all the rest of the professions
would count for but little.

New Departure.

After two months of remarkable sales,
Milford R. Burt, the enterprising drug
gist, says that his plan of selling at half
price the regular so cent size of DR..
Towards specific for the cure of constipa-
ton and dyspepsia, and guaranteeing to
refund the money if it does not cure, has
been the greatest success he has ever
known.
Anyone suffering with dyspepsia, con-
stipation. liver troubles, headaches, dir
illness, coated tongue, or the general
tired feeling, caused by inactive liver
and bowels or disordered digestion,
should take advantage of milford R.
Burt's new departure and buy bottle of
DIR. Towards specific at half price, with
his personal guarantee to refund the
mo ney If it does not cure.
The specific comes in the form of small
granules very pleasant to take, and each
vial contains sixty doses. Under Mr.,
milford r. Burt's special half price
offer, this means a months treatment
for 25 cents, with the best medicine
known for the cure of constipation and
stomach troubles.

BURNED BY LIGHTNING,
Barn and Produce Consumed and
Two Cows Killed.

The most severe electric storm which
has come to us in years, if ever before,
visited our town and especially our
village on Saturday afternoon of last
week. 1t was continuous flash of
lightning with deafening reports accom-
panied with heavy downfall of rain.
Several trees were struck, one in Martin
Young's yard, 80 feet from his barn.
The old MAY" barn, owned by E. H.
Fiske, with its contents and the new
horse barn owned by Clyde Fiske, stand
ing near the old one, were struck and
burned with all the hay and produce in
them. Clyde Fiske and man, Watson
Whitman, were in the stable below
milking. Both were thrown down and
Mr.. Whitman rendered partially uncon-
scious. Two cows of the twelve in the
stable were killed. Mr.. Fiske was able
to remove all of his wagons, harnesses
and tools. The horses, four in number,
including valuable stallion, were gotten
out in safety. The property was fairly
well insu in the Vermont Mutual.
They will rebuild at once.

a Trip to Western New York State

Mr.. Battell returned last evening from
trip of five days to Central New York.
where he went to look up the pedigrees
of number of very important horses
that were bred in that section His first
stop was at Utica, from which point.
hiring liveries, he drove to a number
of towns and villages in Oneida county
in which the very noted family of Ken
lucky Hunters originated, one of which
-One-Eyed Kentucky Hunter-has been,
by many thought to have been the sire
Of Flora Temple, the first mare to trot
under 2 20 and one of the most famous
of all trotters. The original Kentucky
Hunter is also credited with being the
sire of Oneida Chief, one of the most
famous of all the early PAGERS
Another known as Young Bay Ken
lucky Hunter, was sister of the stallion
Edwin Forrest, purchased in the fifties
by the Alexanders of Kentucky and kept
at their farm, the most famous of all
American breeding farms for horses,
where afterwards Maud s., and many
others of the fastest trotters were bred.
This stallion, Edwin Forrest, enters
into the pedigrees of a large number of
very prominent American horses, in
Guiding some trotters and more perhaps
noted for their magnificent form and
general excellent qualities. The original
Kentucky Hunter was bred by j. and L.
Sheriff., of New Hartford, Oneida Coun-
ty, New York, got by Watkins High
lander, "a son of Brown Highlander, a
thoroughbred horse that was imported
from Litchfield, Eng, to Litchfield,
Conn, in 1897, by several citizens of the
latter town. This Sherrills Kentucky
Hunter, foaled in 1928, passed to VIM.
Ferguson, of Oriskany Falls, Oneida
County, New York, who raised from
him several stations
Mr. Battell was especially fortunate in
making the acquaintance of number of
Mr.. Ferguson's family who had an old
poster, published sixty years ago by Will
liam Ferguson, giving the breeding and
history of all the earliest stations of this
family. Mr.. Battell purchased this and
it will appear in facsimile in his new work,
"American Stallion Register" This post
er Shows that Young Bay Kentucky
Hunter, the sire of Edwin Forrest, was
owned by Mr.. Ferguson, foaled in 1889
and got by a horse of the same name

in 1886 and poisoned when two years
old. The poster states that the dam of
Young Bay Kentucky Hunter was
owned by Charles c. Payne of
Hamilton, Madison County, and
got by the old Bay Duroc. son of Duroc,
from an English mare. 1t also states
that the dam of the colt that was poisoned

REFORM SCHOOL |S NOW BEING
 REM0DELED
Entire School Taken on Picnic Labor Day-Strife Over Lo- cation of Bridge at Benson. Shelter to Be Blown in.

BENSON, Sept. 13.-The industrial school at this place under the direc- tion of Superintendent Mahoney has just been remodeled so that there is now plenty of room for sometime to come to accommodate those who might be sent here. There are at the pres ent time in the institution fifty boys and six girls. A girl from BisDee nam ed Frances Logan was received yes terday, being committed for a year.
 With the Improvements that have been made by dividing up the attic into rooms and the building of anoth- CT auditorium, Supt. Mahoney says he will be able to accommodate twenty more boys and several more girls.
 On Labor Day the entire school was taken on picnic to the Whet- stone Mountains, where, under the supervision of the teachers and ma irons the scholars were allowed to en- joy themselves to their hearts con- tent. The three boys who recently made their escape were soon captured and brought back to school, one of them being caught at Wilcox and the others at Tucson. They were not locked up, but were given a severe reprimand by Supr. Mahoney and were allowed to go on the picnic with the balance of the school, and were given charge of some of the smaller mem bers.- This trust placed in them by Superintendent Mahoney brought to their minds the error they had com mitted in running away, and they were very profuse in making apologies to the Superintendent and promised in the future to obey fully the rules of the school.
 There is considerable strife here over the proposed location of the bridge to be built over the San Pedro by the Board of Supervisors. Where the board wished to build the bridge, several parties who own the land have absolutely refused to grant a right-of- way for the road to lead up to the bridge site, so that it now looks as though the location would have to be changed and placed in close proximity to the Southern Pacific railroad bridge. The matter will have 10 be definitely settled upon by our citizens shortly, as the report of Surveyor Nc Neish will be made to the Board of Supervisors at their next meeting, which is the first Monday in October.
 Everything now points to an early starting up of the Benson smelter. Those interested are getting matters in definite shape so that when it is started there will be a continual run. The parties who are interested in the building of the branch railroad from Dragoon Summit to Johnson for the purpose of getting out the ore for the smelter assures your correspondent that they have already floated stock enough in Kentucky to build the road, and that the contract for grading
Bisbee daily review., 1906-09-14

The City Council met in special ses. sion last night to dispose of several matters of great importance to the city. On account of the various bid ders on the construction of the retain ing wall for Naco road taking a diff. ferent basis upon which to estimate their bids, the matter had to be re- ferred to the city engineer for re- port. The matter of advertising for bids for the sewer bonds was taken up, also several other matters of i'm portance.
 The City Council was called to or der in the Council Chamber by Mayor Caven at o'clock last evening. Coun- cilmen Hogan, Shattuck, Morris. De- vine and Hughes answered to the roll call.
 The first matter to come before the meeting was the opening of bids which had been submitted on the con- struction of the retaining wall be- tween Naco Road and the E. P. & s. W. railroad. There were two bids. One was submitted by the contrac- tors, Poulti & Bauer, and the other by the F. P. & s. W. railroad company. Poulti & Bauer based their bid on the basis of so much per cubic yard name
 
 everything else. The railroad compa- ny based their bid on the linear foot, measuring along the face of the wall their bid being s17.10, to cover excava- Iion and all other work.
 At this time very interesting dis cussion about the relative merits of algebra, trigonometry and arithmetic was indulged in, each branch having its supporters. The problem was to reduce linear feet to cubic yards, so that the council would be able to tell which bid would be the more advan- tageous to the city. After a lengthy discussion it was very evident that the matter was of very technical nature, and that ir would be the part of wisdom to get some expert advice on the matter: accordingly the bids were submitted 10 to City Engineer McNeish, and he will submit a report at the next meeting of the Council, which will be held Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
 The Mayor then announced that the sewer bond ordinance had been adver- tised for the statutory time, and ask ed whas the pleasure of the Council was in regard to advertising for bids on the bonds. On motion of Shat tuSh. SeCOHuSu Dy dOSdH, the clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for the purchase of the bonds. This matter will only be a formality, as the local banks have already agreed among themselves and with the Council, to take the bonds. but on account of legal technicality it will have to be done.
 The next matter was that of ad- yertising for bids on the construction of the sewer. On Investigating the matter it was found that the plans and specifications which had been furnished to the city by Consulting Engineer Frank Olmstead were not definite enough, and as it is absolute ly necessary that everything should be plainly specified, City Attorney Merritt advised that the specifications should be returned to Olmstead for
