KILLING THE MoNOpoLIEs.

According to the present outlook
the new electric light company, COM
posed of the citizens of this city, will
begin operation by the first of next
month or thereabout. This means
that the Public Service Corporation
will no longer have a monopoly here.
1t means a reduction in the price of
electricity to the consumer; in fact,
it has already brought about a reduc-
ton in both electricity and gas.
1t is to be hoped that when the
company is in working order 1t will
be able to furnish electricity at such
a cost as to compel both the Public
Service and the gas company to re-
duce the price still lower, and at the
same time cause them to be a little
more considerable of the public.
1t is safe to say no other C
in this city do things so arbitrarily
as do these two lighting concerns,
m|onopolies in their own line. At
present it Is a case of do as they say
or do without their product. AS gas
or electricity, or both, have come to
be an absolute necessity in the bust
ness world, they have, thus far, had
the public at their mercy. 1t has
been but a short time ago that the
people of this city were paying 50 per
1000 feet for gas, while in most of
the other cities gas is being sup
Piled for 81 per 1000 feet. The same
is true, proportionately. with cleo
tricity.
In fact, so intolerant did these
companies become that the local bus
mess men were forced into a COM
pany of their own and their hopes
are about to be realized. An indie
pendent lighting company is a good
thing. 1t kills monopoly and it Is
the monopoly that has brought about
the present condition of affairs in this
country.

There are such charmingly mex

be appropriate for such a room.
Here also might be used a. blue

made large enough to go beyond the

Such a scheme would require old
colonial furniture, or good reproduc-

would disappear II high polished

We cannot all own mahogany fur

SLIGHT CAUSES FOR DEATH.

Over in South Amboy a man ran a
foot race a few weeks ago, fell and
broke his finger and, as a result, no
died of lockjaw yesterday. The case
illustrates the point that it does not
always take a rusty nail or some ac-
cident of that nature to cause this
dread disease.
Taking a tumble in a foot race is
not ar unusual thing, and breaking q
finger by such a fall is nothing to
cause great surprise. but that such
a thing should terminate fatally
arouses unusual interest In the case.
1t shows that too much care cannot
be taken of any wound, no matter
how slight 1t may seem.
This man with a broken finger, al
ter having the fracture attended by
a physician, thought little more about
It, expecting it to gradually get we'll.
It did get better and it was because
everything was so favorable that the
man went about as usual. Throwing
off all caution he caught cold in the
wound and before he knew it he was
in the grasp of one of the most dead
ly of diseases. This lesson should be
needed. No wound should be neglee-
ted.

Don't hang heavy curtains at the

Don't have any carpets on the bed

few hangings and fewer ornaments.
Don't comb a child's hair too
much. Brush 1t carefully with a soft

1AMEsToWN EXPOSITION NOTES.

The first friendly Indians met by
Englishmen in America had a VIII
llage on the site of the present town
of Hampton, Va, just across Hamp-
| ton Roads from the jamestown expo
| sition.
A trip to Dismal Swamp, made ia
| nous by Tom Moore, will be worth
| the while of visitors to the James
town exposition. 1t is n of the
most beautiful and fascinating spots
on the American continent, and the
waters of Lake Drummon, upon
which Moore's tabled maid paddles
her white canoe, are a never to be
forgotten sight.
In the Arts and Crafts Village at
the. jamestown exposition a model
hospital 5Ox85 feet will be one of the
interesting features. The most per-
feet appliance and best method for
the care of the sick and injured will
be in use there and the exhibit will be
utilitarian as we'll as instructive and
ornamental, for it will be used as the
emergency hospital of the exposition.
The famous Attakapas community
of Acadians in Louisiana will, If the
plans of the department of history
and education do not fail, show to
the world their marvellous creations
in textile fabrics in the Arts and

position.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9S.
A SCHEME THAT FAILED.

The attempt of the ring" leaders
to persuade the delegates, who were
elected because they were pledged to
Fordyce, to break their pledge, is
along the same line that the ma
chine. used throughout the cam
paign., The ring" played an under
handed game from beginning to end.
When the Fordyce delegates were
first filed "ring' leaders approached
them in an effort to get them to with
draw, but they were unsuccessful in
this city, except in one case, and his
place was quickly filled. Now, with
eight delegates elected who favor
Fordyce. the same tactics are m
ployed and George J.. Haney is found
trying to get the pledged delegates
to join the ring and ignore the peo-
pie who elected them. Needless to
say, Mr.. Haney found that the pee
pie of the new idea" faith had elect
ed real men to represent them at the
county convention and his little
scheme to have a solid delegation 10
present to his master, "Dory" Strong
today, failed. The Fordyee delegates
have taught this man Haney a lesson
that he would do well to think over.

ers. They fear that unless this tor
rent of outrageous and insulting

lowing will resent it and either stay
away from the polls or vote against

that Senator Dryden, Governor
Stokes and Chairman Briggs, Of the

judicious mischief makers before
they do irreparable harm. They want
to remember, it is said, that the cleo

IARKET AT WEEKS END
 IN BETTER CONDITION
PROSPECT FOR COMING WEEK SHOWS THAT PRICES SHOULD
 BE BETTER. #
(By Frank J. Graf.)

Bisbee, March z4.-The close of the week shows the Bonanza Circle and other Bisbee copper stocks in much better condition than for the past weeks. with a tendency for bet ter prices for the coming week. Since the opening of the market they seemed to show considerable strength and continued on during the day, but it being Saturday and short day. the advance did not carry, on the entire day. Calumet Pitts burg was in good demand, and we think that on account of news that they were to. sink again has brought this stock out to be favorite' again. At the close there were bids of s25.75, and offered at $26. L. s. & P. continues to hold around the $40 mark, with stock offered at s4e.50. Junction took on more strength than any of the Bonanza Circle, bids com ing out at $s5.75, and offered at S26. Warren also continues to be in good demand, bidding at SIS failing to bring out any. while American is be- ing sought after at $12.0o. East Butte surprised many. going from s10.75 to S13.- and at the close they were bidding t1s.62. London-Butte holds well at se.50 to s2.60, with sales made at S2.6e.

KANSAS CITY CATTLE RECEIPTS ARE MODERATE
GENERAL CONDITION OF MAR kETIs UNHEALTHY BECAUSE
 OF WESTERN RECEIPTS.
Especial to Review.)

Stock Yards, Kansas City, Mo-, March 24.-Cattle receipts are more moderate this week, 400o less in three days than same days last week. A larger percentage of receipts this week are beef steers than usual, and this class are slow sale, with small loss in price. Cows, heifers and bulls have lbm selling higher nearly every day account of scarcity, but they are weak today. while stockers and feeders, which have been dull and weak for the past ten days, are be- ginning to turn the other way today, selling strong and active. Bad weather has kept this class down late ly, and any decent spell of weather would bring out strong demand and spring up the price. Some sorted Colorado feeders, 1920 pounds, sold yesterday at s4.9o. and sorted stockers S60 pounds, at s4.60, but these prices are abnormal, and for choice stun. Other range stockers and feeders have sold this week at S3.S5 to $4.50. Fed steers from the Panhandle sold yesterday at $4.65. shade under a week ago for the same stuff, good heifers are bringing s4.25 to s4.75; top heifers today, $500, for natives. of course. Bulls from below the quar- antine line are selling at S3.15 to s3.75: steers, s4.00 to $500; cows and heifers, s2.75 to s3.S5 this week. Cattle receipts so far in March show a gain of 22 per cent. over last March.
 Mutton receipts for the last ten days are running 25 per cent lighter than heretofore, but the market con tinues weak Lambs are down so near the price of aged sheep that any decline usually affects all alike. Sup ply is small today. at 5000 head, and there is a temporary improvement In prices, 5 to 10 cents. Lambs sell at s5.90 to s6.50 today; yearlings and wethers. s5.40 to s5.S0; ewes, s4.50 to s5.10. Bad condition of the mutton market ast, together with heavy re- ceipts at some of the western points, kept the general condition of the market past, together with heavy re- cal receipts occasionally sell at an advance because of urgent orders.

RANDOLPH NOW CONTROLS

8. F. GRAHAM SAYS HE HAS SE- CURE OMAJoRiTY OF STOCK
 IN ESCROW.

According to a statement made yes terday afternoon by B. F. Graham, Epes Randolps, manager of all the Hartman railroad interests in Ari- zona and Sonora, is now in control of a majority of the stock of the En- senada Mining Cmpany.
 Graham states that instead of al lowing the options on the stock to lapse on March IS, by failing to pay an agreed price into the Miners &
 Merchants Bank of this city, Ran dolph arranged for securing enough of the stock in escrow to give hlm complete control of the Ensenada Company's destinies.
 AS far as holding this stock goes, am out of the matter entirely" said Graham. Everything is now in MT.
 Randolph's hands, and he will take up the fight for possession of the property, which has passed out of my hands. 'I do not care to state in just what manner Mir. Randolph has control of a majority of the stock, but he has it in a manner that means he will
 keep it. He has it now in his posses sion. "I do not care to state what his course will be in the matter of fight ing the present litigation against the Kansas City people He has mapped out what he will do, and it will develop later. An entirely new board of directors is with him in the matter, myself and others having stepped aside"
 Graham asserts that be has not by any means lost his fight against the
 Kansas City people, and that before the matter is ended decisions must be handed down in three courts, name ly,. those of Hermosillo, Nogales and the City of Mexico. He expresses
 confidence that the outcome will be favorable to him. Graham in all his remarks made it plain that Epes Randolph will now be the prominent figure in the fight for possession of the Lucky Tiger prop erty.
