Ana Jenny, as he was popularity
called by his companions, never
lost the opportunity to be in the
company of ladies, but he never for
got his duties at the publishing
house or the interests Of the firm
by whom he was employed. And
while a young man in years, and
young in the firms employ, he
was, on account of his ability and
strict attention to business, rapid
ly promoted over older men to a
responsible position as head of a
department. It was customary
with this firm to give the heads of
all departments two weeks holiday
during the summer season and al

absence for the two weeks hol1-

Jenny had no fixed plan as to
how or where he would spend his
vacation, but decided to ride his
wheel through to Port Jervis, N.
Y, and there spend a few days
with his friend, Charley Hammers,
who lived at that town. Arriving
at the home of his friend he was
given a most cordial welcome, and
nothing was left undone to make
his visit pleasant one.
In the meantime the call for
volunteers had gone forth and a
regular army officer had arrived
in Port Jervis seeking recruits for
service in the ranks of the regular
army during the war. Jenny"
and his friend were both full of
love for their country and the fire
of patriotism sent them immedi-
ately to the recruiting officer to
whom they made known their de-
sire to enlist providing they could
be sent Immediately. to the front.
Being assured by the officer that,
should they enlist that day, they
would be sent that night on their
way to join their regiment, the
End Light Artillery. (This regi-
ment being already at Port Tampa,

transports for Cuba, and the one

join.) They hesitated only long
enough for Jenny" to inform his
employers by telegram of his &C
ton and they we're both duly
sworn into the service of Uncle
Sam. The same afternoon, in
company with the recruits, they
were sent to New York City where
they were equipped with SOL
diers' regulation outfits, and after
the articles of war had been read
to them they were put in charge
of a sergeant and sent to the
Pennsylvania depot in Jersey City
bound for the war.
About ten o'clock in the even
ing when they arrived at the
depot and found that their train
did not leave until 1915, they we're
given leave by the sergeant to
stroll around the neighborhood,
but to report promptly at twelve
o'clock. At this time every citi-
zen in and around New York and
Jersey City was wild with enthu-
siasm about soldiers and was very
proud of all the boys who donned
a uniform, especially was this so
of the women who thought moth

Mexican Home at Lowell ViS- tied by Disease, Which
 Takes Away Child.
FATHER OF FAMILY
 DYING OF DISEASE.
Health Officer Discovers Exist ence of Ravaging Sickness in SQuaIIid Home Near Oenn-Arizona Mine.

Lowell officers yesterday discovered the presence of smallpox in the home of Mexican family on ground of the Denn-Artzona Mining Co. Already a baby in the family had succumbed to the dread disease. The father and provider lay suffering untold agonies, his head and face swelled far beyond it's normal proportions and fever of high intensity whitening him in it's grasp.
 The scene was one of abject poverty surrounded by filth that is often found among the lower caste Mexicans.
 The name of the family has not as yet been learned, no one caring to go nearer the house than is absolutely necessary.
 The dead infant was immediately buried and steps taken to prevent spread of the disease. Fumigation was resorted to and a quarantine plac- ed about the house, which Is situate in the canyon north of the Denn shaft
 The case discovered yesterday is probably the most virulent one encoun- tered here this year. The father is not expected to survive.

DEAL IN TIMBER BiSbee Capital Striving to Get Ownership of Big Sonora
 Concession, 157, ,0O0 ACRES TO

Overlook Brothers and Robert Tate Return From Visit to Forests, and Say They Are Finest in Southwest,

O. P. Brown. a Mormon bishop, Tate. who recently went into the Sier- "a Madre mountains of Sonora at the instigation of Brown, returned to the city yesterday with glowing accounts of the superb timber lands they in. spected on their visit
 Negotiations are now pending for the purchase of the timber by a com pany to be made up of Bisbee and Douglas capitalists. The price set by those whom Brown represents is an even million dollars. The area GOV cred by the concession which includes Thus, it will be seen that the price per acre is less than $7.
 An important meeting of those inter- ested was held yesterday and it is said that company has been formed with Overlook brothers and Tate as a nu- cleus, about whom will be gathered some of the wealthiest men of the Warren District.
 Last evening the men who have wis tied the property were busy showing to Bisbee capital the advantage of lumber field so close to home The consequent decrease in the price of lumber for home consumption is being pointed out, and it is likely that a stock company will be formed here at once with view of taking over the property. Time has been extended to the above gentlemen in which to get their capital together, and there is little doubt that they will find them selves in the deal if terms of favor able character are submitted to them.
 MT. Brown, whose knowledge of the field has been the source of informa- tion on which local men have acted, was seen last evening, but refused to divulge and of the details of the nego- tiations now pending, aside from con- firming the report that negotiations are under way.
 The lands in question are situate in spur of the Sierra Madres, and should local capital take over the tim Der railroad will be at once pushed to completion, having as its terminus the border of the city of Douglas
 The ultimate benefit to the latter city will be readily seen. Sawmills would be built and the lumber industry would be added to the already thrifty industry of Smelting

SOUTHERN PACIFIC.

The earnings of Southern Pacific are new very interesting on account of the San Francisco earthquake. An insid- CT said during the week that the loss would not do more than moderately cut down the large gross increase re ported up to that time, amounting to almost $6.000,00 for the period of the fiscal year from June 90, 1905, until March l, 1906. There may be a loss of about s1,OOO,0OO.
 The stock was sold short heavily on account of the earthuuake damage. and at the present time it is estimated that the short interest in the same is larger than at any previous time in Us history. There has been bull talk in several Hartman houses upon South ern Pacific in connection with reports of good buying of Union Pacific.
 The Southern Pacific controls about 10000 miles of line. About S40,000. 600 of preferred stock paying ' per cent is outstanding. This stock is re deemable. While there is bull talk upon the common stock of which near ly O,000,000 is outstanding, reliable quarters do not credit these rumors owing to the fact that enormous i'm proyements are to be made. It is es timated that more than s100,000,00C has been put into the property in the last twenty years. The financial stand ing of the company is greatly improy ed. It has good credit abroad. The high price of the common stock in the current year was about 73, the low price being around 64.

of bringing it about.
 There is no question about the death of the present statehood bill, but the vote against this monster should be so emphatic thit it will be killed for all time.
 Arizona is entitled to separate state hood, and the people of the territory should never consider or ask for ad- mission into the Union on any other basis The people of this territory are entitled to the same consideration that has been accorded to other terri tories at the time of their admission as states. Arizona has taxable wealth and population; patriotism and intelli- gence equal to half the old states at the time of their admission into the Union. Arizonans have aspirations like other people, and should never surrender these aspirations, losing every vestige of political identity by agreeing to become a portion of a state with New Mexico, surrendering our splendid system of public schools for whatever the dominant portion of the new state should desire to give; surrounding our Australian ballot sys- tenn with the rawhide plan of voting in New Mexico, whereby voters may be purchased and watched and count ed at the polls.
 Arizona has long chafed under the continuation of a territorial form of government, but under the territorial form our people have the making of their own territorial laws, which they would not have if joined to New Mex | ico.
 A rousing vote in Arizona against the proposed joint statehood should | be made the battle cry in every sec tion of Arizona, and this battle cry should grow louder and more deter mined until the last condemning ballot is placed in the ballot box next No yember.

and had quit the Illinois association
He asserted that the discrimination
against him was doubled by the refus-
al of the railroads to give him cars.
Practically the same story was told
by all the witnesses during the fore

AT the afternoon session, J. Rosen-
baum of the Rosenbaum Grain com
pany of Chicago declared that the
farmers themselves had formed Il
combination and would not sell grain
to any but their own elevators.

something about the farmers" said
j. Rosenbaum. The farmers who
are organized refuse to sell grain to
any but their own elevators. Part
of their agreement is that if any
member sells to anyone else he shall
be fined one cent a bushel for every
bushel sold. You can see that the
grain dealers are being Disseminated

ers are closely allied and they dis
