WANTS HOME RULE
Pronounced Sentiment for Great
er Liberty Displayed
in India.
NATIONAL CONGRESS OPENS
Formal Petition 10 British Government
Expected to Be Prepared Dur
ing Session.

Calcutta, Dec. 27.- Home rule for
India is to be demanded of Great Brit
ain if the sentiment displayed at the
opening session of the Indian National
congress in this city prevails.
Ten thousand delegates, representa-
tive of nearly every section, cheered
the proposition to insist that self-gov-
ernment be granted their people.
Dadabhl Naoroji formerly a member
of the British parliament, was the man
who put the home rule demand before
the congress. In his address he point
ed out that the Beers, whom Indian
soldiers helped to subjugate, had been
granted elf-government while India
still was without it,
should Have Liberty.
AS British subjects, the speaker said,
the residents of India should be grant
ed as full liberty as any other peoples
of the empire They have fought the
wars of Great Britain in distant lands
and have won the right to recognition.
The education of the people of India
as to their rights was declared the first
step needed. and the speaker urged
the raising of a large patriotic fund to
carry on that work.
A tumult of applause in which every
delegate joined marked the conclusion
of Naoroji's address, and it is believed
probable formal action will be taken
by the congress to carry out the sug-
gestions.

small supply was soon exhausted. It was then that a public spirited citizen decided to go into the trust-busting business, and forthwith dispatched a team to Globe and within day or two had enough ice on hand to supply the pressing and immediate needs. It was sold at a moderate cost and was very rapidly snapped up. Its rapid sale set the man who had hauled it in to thinking, and he decided that he would make a little easy money and go into the ice business for himself. So back to Globe he went and brought out another load.
 At first with only the two competi- tors in the field the business was good and the price stayed up, but very soon a third entered and then a fourth and then the price began to drop. Every body began to cut in order to save his trade and soon the price reached cent and d half-a considerable less than the actual cost of manufacture Large stocks of ice were daily growing larger. and with no prospect of their illumination except by melting, their owners cancelled all shipping orders Frantic efforts were made to sell but the people had all they could take, so what was to be done. Conferences were talked of between the fighting dealers but at the last accounts noth- ing had been done to bring them to- gether. Another cut is almost hourly expected, since the dealers are at their last extremities to save themselves from total losses.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE
 INTERNATIONAL IRRITANT
How It Put the Bisbee Braves In a
 False Light.

C. I. McReynolds of Bisbee, former assistant United States attorney under F. $. Nave, now of the supreme court arrived in the city yesterday morning 10 spend the day here, an interested on-looker at the central committee meeting. He is the chairman of the re- publican county central committee of Cochise county, which is to entertain the coming republican territorial con Vention when it meets at Bisbee. Mir. McReynolds is now entitled to the rank of captain, and he is addressed as such by his friends in Bisbee. His service was in the recent military demonstra- ton on the border at the time of the Cananea riots. At the head of a com pany from Bisbee, MT. McReynolds led his braves to the Mexican border His company was the one attacked by the Mexican line officers prior to the in vasion of the republic, and the cfrcum- stances of the attack should be a warn ing to all smokers of cigarettes. As the McReynolds company was march ing from the Naco depot along the Mexican border they were not under military discipline, but had all agreed to stay well punched and march close together. The night was dark. and it would otherwise have been difficult for the officer to retain control of the men, considering their lack of drilling. One of the men in the front rank wanted to

smoke. He had been without a ciga- rette for several long hours and could wait no longer. Accordingly he began the rolling of the much desired pill. and after it was complete struck a match to light it. The match served as a signal for the Mexican authorities and they opened fire on the Americans. The fire was returned, buts not until the company had lost several good fighting minutes in it's surprise at the attack. When they did get into action it was not long until they had their enemy in flight. No one was killed; but two men were wounded, one of the American force, and he was returned to Bisbee and is now recovered. MT. McReynolds says that experience will likely serve him for many years to come. At any rate, he does not aspire to be in command. If he ever goes into battle again it will be in the ranks.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

When we entered into an arrange ment between ourselves as to the de- livery of ice, we had no other end in view than to reduce the expense in cident upon a double set of delivery teams, resulting in lessening the price of ice to our customers, as we'll as an economic saving to ourselves. Our motives have been miscOnstrued and our actions misrepresented. We do not wish to be regarded by our patrons as cOnspirators, or as having entered into an arrangement in restraint of trade to the detriment of the rights of citizens with whom it is our interest to deal
 Legal advisers have assured us that there has been no transgressiOn of the statute in effect; we know there has been none in intention.
 Rather than further pursue our busi- ness with our customers fearing the existence of an arrangement between us unfair to them, we prefer that none longer continue.
 Hence we publish the following notice:

NO ICE TRUST
 Al ROOSEVELT
A Demand the Supplying of Which
 Was OVerdone.

Roosevelt. August 2.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican.)-A most unique situation exists today in Roosevelt and should the town live to be great many years older, the same condition of affairs is not probable to occur again. There is a glut in the local ice market and the numerous dealers who have the cool stuff on their hands are forced to sit idly by and see their profits and principal slowly turn to water. Through no fault of theirs however. for there has never been such an insistent desire and effort on the part of the dealers to give ice to the people, and at less than actual cost too, but there are ab- solutely no takers for the frozen ar ticle, hence the delema of the ice men. Unlike many of our eastern cities where the ice men have combined to put up the price of ice, the reverse of the situation exists here. Many small dealers have been trying to corral the trade of the community by cutting the price, until there is scarcely any price left, so to speak, and now that the bottom is completely gone from the market, these same dealers are looking about among themselves each blaming the other, for the unsatisfactory con- dition of affairs.
 The way it all came about was when OROurke & Co.. who have hitherto been supplying the local trade. decided to discontinue the supply to all except one dealer. This was done on account of the heavy drain that was being made upon the contractors reserve supply. and il was decided to stop the sale to all except the one dealer who happened to have been the first GUS tuner of the contractor. Naturally with practically the whole ice supply in town in his possession the price of Ice began to mount skyward and soon the price of the precious stuff reached the 25Ac mark. With what he thought cinch upon the supply, this man be- gan offering small pieces for sale, in conjunction with the soda fountain which he was running and it is said even that he who would not drink at the favored fountain was denied the right of purchase. of the cooling sub stance. However that may be. just at the height of all the difficulty, the worst hot spell that has ever been known hereabouts, struck the commu- nity and the demand for ice became imperative. With the thermometer standing in the neighborhood of 115 degrees for several days in succession. even the most cool blooded were in need of things cooling and even at the high price of 215 cents a pound the
