PREPARING FOR
 OPENING OF SCHOOLS
Improvements Well Under Way at All the Buildings in
 the District.

Improvements fnaugurated by the board of school trustees prior to the closing of the schools for the last year have been pushed with rapid ity that augurs well for the ability of the system to care for all its pupils when school opens in September. No stone has been left unturnsd to pre- pare for the largest school attendance that the Bisbee district has ever known, and judging from the influx of families during the present sum- mer Bisbee's next school year, 1906-7, will be the banner year in her his tory.
 At the central school in the city the spacious yard on the site of che old school building has been leveled and a playground made for the pupils who attend that school. The heavy ex- penditures made on the new central
 building last year have made 1t un-
 necessary to do anything further in that line during the present summer Superintendent Philorook has a grear eye to the practical side of school life and does not lose sight of the fact that to have studious pupils he must furnish recreation and en- joyment for them that will tend to take from their minds the fact thai

CITY COUNCIL |S HURTING
 SEWER
Final Steps Will Be Taken in Sale of the Sewer Bonds
 to Local Banks.

The matter of the sewer bends is now coming very Lear settlement. The action of the local bankers in ac- cepting the bonds 10 help the city out of an uncomfortable predicament, has brought the matter to the point where all that needs to be done is to go through the formalities required by law.
 When seen yesterday by a repre- sentative of The Review and asked about the situation, Dr. Caven said: "Of course it will be necessary to call special melting of the council to re ceive the report of the finance coni- mitIee on this matter and do other acts necessary to the validity of the bonds. This building of sewer sys- tenn in Bisbee is a most important matter and can not be done too soon. I will call a meeting of the council very soon, and have the bonds placed in the hands of the attorneys of the different banks to obtain their ap- proval. As soon as the bonds are actually sold and the money turned over to the city, the matter of getting bids on the building of the sewer will be taken up at once."
 It will be remembered that there was only one bidder for the sewer bonds. and this was s. A. Keenc, of Chicago. It will also be remembered

were almost simultaneously turned over to the piastering contractors dur ing the week just past. The end of another week will see all the new ad- ditfons we'll night completed and the Bisbee district in better shape in this respect than it has ever been.
 The rapidity with which these inn provements were put under way af- ter the voting of the bonds by the tax payers of the city speaks volumes for the energetic qualities displayed by the men who have the schools of the district in their charge.

that MT. Keene bid $S0,0SO for the bonds, but neglected to send the re- quisite certified check for 10 per cent to make the bid valid. Perhaps it is just as we'll for the city of Bisbee that MT. Keene did not get his hands on the bonds even after giving the check, and it certainly is fortunte that he did not get control of the bonds without putting up some kind of security. There is a gentleman in the city who was acquainted with MT. Keene in his palmy days of old, and he relaties few things about the gentleman which would tend to place him among the neglected" in Brad streets.
 It seems that some time ago MT. Keene was a private banker in the city of Chicago, having an office on the site where now stands the sky scIaper of The Chicago Title and Trust Company. He dealt in stocks and bonds in those days, and was very prominent churchman. It seems that MT. Keene had streak of hard luck in the year 1893, and that his private banking institution was not OpShCu OhC lOI lhc U action of business. but one of the em- pioyes had thoughtfully tackled sign on the front door which told the de- pcsitors that unless then had money they need not come around" as the bank was financially embarrassed and would not do any more business for a while An investigation was insti-
 tuted, and when matters were thor oughly searched it was found thas MT. Keene had conveniently placed quite an amount of property, both real and personal. in the name of his wife. Pressure was brought to bear and
 Mr. Keene finally settled with his former clients at SO much on the dol lar-the amount is unknown at the
 present time. At the time that the private bank failed here was quite an amount of money on deposit to the credit of different members of the church which Mir. Keene belonged 10. and of which he was one of the lead ing lights.

they are being ground through their studies. He has added to the school yard at the Central a basket ball letics among the girls. Seats have been placed about the court for the use of those not engaged in the games that the children may be play ing, and the grounds otherwise made ready for the enjoyable use of the pupils.
 Across the street from the Central is lot owned by the school district and which has been utilized by the fire department for a site for a hose cart house. Without interfering with the department, or the protection af- forded the school hill district by req son of the existence there of the hose house, Mfr. Phflbrook has hit upon a scheme that is at once unique and sensible. He has had built a low fence, taking up the greaten part of the. heretofore unused ground, and in- side this fence he is filling the pit with soft sand for the edification of the little fellows who are just taking their first elementary training in the Kindergarten grades. This will not only prove a great source of enjoy ment to the litle ones. but has done away with pest hole. made 50 by the dumping of rubbish on the va cant premises.
 A set of iron pipe posts have been placed at regular intervals about the playground of the school and set fin cement foundations. These will take the place of more expensive fence and do away to a great extent with the danger attendant upon collisions with picksts while the pupils are en- grossed in the rougher games popular to the school yard.
 A flag pole, the one formerly used at the Waldorf hotel back of Main street, has been donated to the school by J. T. Hood of the Miners and Mer- chants bank. which institution took over the Waldorf property.

CLEANLY WOMAN
Erroneousiy Thinks by Securing Her Scalp That She Cures Danduff.

Cleanly woman has an erroneous idea that by securing the scalp, which removes the dandruff scaits, she is curing the dandruff. She may wash her scalp every day, and yet have dandruff her life long, accompanied by falling hair, too. The only way in the world to cure dandruff Is to kill the dandruff germ. and thtre is no hair preparation that will do that but Newbro's Herpicide. HerHicide by killing the dandruff germ, leaves the hair free to grow as healthy Nature in- funded. Destroy the cause you re- move the effect Kill the dandruff germ with Herpicide.

more than S3,312. 100000. 1t has been calcu-

same rigorous way. 1T would first OF all nave
raise the salaries OF the officials of its judi
ciary. The $4,000 a year and travelling ex-
penses which Judge Wilfey is 10 receive in his
position is equal to the salaries of a dozen
Chinese judges holding posts of like Importance.
Indeed the Chinese official receives from tn.
clothes. Even viceroy gets only $4,000 year.
though II costs him $4,000 10 live. a Chinese
magistrate argues, therefore. that If the state
cannot pay him - sufficient sum for his SER
vices he must get all he can through graft.
And from the chief justice down to the va
men runner. or court attendant. the itching palm
is ever extended Money IS not directly taken
out of the pocket OF the public. but il is squeezed
cut by methods which are peculiarly character
istic of the Mongolian.
The yamen runner. for example. employs tac-
ties like these. When sent ont To certify tn
the tax Of a peasant farmer. he will say TO him:
II see you have ten acres Of land. Now if will
certify that you have only six, will you pay me
the tax on three acres"
As this proposition will enable The poor farmer

the Chinaman almost always puts his OVID in
terests before those of the state he is pretty

however. is not able 10 pocket the tax on those
three acres all himself. He has to pay two
fhirds of it over to the tax collector. who gives
one-hal1 of his portion to the magistrate before
whom he might he arraigned on the charge of
embezzemest if he did not make some such di-
vision OF his spoils.
While the yamen runner fills his purse in this
way the judge high above him reaps rich reve-
nues in other ways as for example. by accept
ing hribes for decisions framed 10 suit the pur-
chaser. Indeed. il has become common for
a rich litigant In win lawsuit in which poor
