Purity in Literature and Art"
was the subject for program meeting
of the W. G. T. U. on the afternoon
Of February 9th. We met at the home
of Mrs. Campbell on Sixth and A
streets and a goodly number attended
Mrs Berry, superintendent of that
department had prepared an excellent
program, and after short business
session took the chair. The opening
number was piano duet by the
Misses Lelah Caldwell and Lula Lund,
Mrs. Clements, an elocutionist, gave
recitation, Rev. Mr.. Travis of the
Baptist church made an excellent ad :
dress on the subject, and the program
closed with a solo by Mrs. Walker.
The numbers were all greatly enjoyed
and a vote Of thanks was extended to
all the participants. After adjourn
ment Mrs. Cambpell treated Us to home
made candies which kindness was
duly appreciated. Next Friday we
meet for transaction Of business at
the home of Mrs. r. S. WeidmaD.
We are glad to know that the bill to
admit Oklahoma and Indian Ty., has
passed the house Of representatives.
with an amendment providing for the
continuance Of prohibition in Indian
Territory and the Indian reservation
in Oklahoma for period Of 2l years.
A great deal has been said about the
desecration of the flag and well may
we be concerned about the precious
symbol of our liberty. 1t is enough
to arouse indignation in every true
American heart to know that it is
used to advertise that which, wher.
ever it is used as beverage, brings
but degradation and misery.
The colors of Uncle Sans clothing
when he is to represent a brand of
whiskey are the colors that the heros
of the Revolution fought and died for.
Let the American people say that the
flag shall mot be desecrated in that
way or any other.

REVIEW
ASST. POSTMASTER P. I. BRITT RESIGNS
Will Enter Firm of Marks Bros. In lowellEHas Been 12
 Years in Mail Srevice.

It was reported on the street yes terday that Assistant Postmaster B. T. Britt had resigned his position in the local postoffice to enter the firm of Marks Bros. and when the gentleman was asked concerning the report he stated that it was true. Mir. Britt will take up his duties as a member of the firm this morning, and his sue cessor is expected to arrive from the east within very few days.
 Today marks the anniversary of Britt's twelfth year in the United States Postal service. and judging from the many excellent reforms which he has assisted Postmaster Gas sidy in inaugurating in the local mail service he has indeed achieved that standard of efficiency when his resig- nation must be accepted with regret by his superiors.
 Mir. Britt first entered the United States mail service in the city of Chi cago twelve years ago, and has ad- vanced steadily from an inferior posi-

ton to that of assistant postmaster in the City of Bisbee. He has been in the city for past fifteen months. having been transferred from one of the branch offices of the Chicago serv- ice to Arizona at the special instance and request of Mir Cassidy, who well knew the man he was selecting to as sist him in the arduous task of bring ing about condition of affairs in the local post office whereby the public might receive at least a part of that consideration which is to be expected from a governmental department.
 Conditions were such in the local office that the task has been very difficult one. but in all truth it must be said that the people of Bisbee. all things considered, are receiving excel lent mail service. That part of the credit for this condition is due to Mr. Britt is certainly true. and is cordially ascribed to him by Postmaster Cassi- dy. who heartily regrets the loss of his assistant.

TEACHERS WILL CONVENE IN
 PHOENIX
I erritodaI Institute for Arizona Teachers Will Hold Four Days Session During the Coming Fair.

A large number of teachers in Tue son and Pima county are preparing to attend the annual gathering of the teachers of the Territory at Phoenix from November 13 to November 16. The meeting is held during the week of the Territorial fair.
 It is likely that the local schools will be closed as the Territorial stat utes provide that teachers shall re ceive pay and the schools may closed during a county institute. Instead of county institutes this year, the meeting in Phoenix will constitute one grand institute.
 Programs for the sessions have numerous discussions which will be interesting and of great value to teachers. All discussions owing to the number that will naturally arise are limited to 25 minutes. Those who have charge of the meet, ing have arranged so that all the teachers may attend the fair as well as the institute. The morning ses. sion at the institute will be from to 12. and the afternoon session fiorl to 9, allowing the entire afternoon for seeing the fair.
 One of the chief addresses of tne institute will be by Prof. Philbrook, of
 Bisbee, whose subject will be: Prob lens of a Teacher and Superintendent in a Mining Camp" There will be a number of other interesting addresses <>< = ><< < . ' < ' . . ' | fired at Matthews took effect. This ball entered the left breast just below the nipple and passed entirely through

GAMBLING ROW LEADS ID
 DEATH
William Lewis, a Soldier at Ft. Bliss, Kills Ross Matthews, Another Soldier and Wounds w. H. Johnson

FL PASO. Nov. 4-Wm. Lewis, pri- vate in the 18th infantry stationed at Fort Bliss, last night about g o'clock killed Ross Matthews. another private in the same company, and shot and se- riously wounded w. H. Johnson, for merly a private in the same regiment. The killing occurred in the Our Place" saloon near Fort Bliss. The killer then came to Fl Paso and gave himself up to Police Captain Mitchell.
 The killing grew out of a gambling game at which the dead man and Lewis were playing and which was run by Johnson. According to the statement of the murder. he shot, as he believed, to protect his own life.
 When seen in the police jail last night Lewis was perfectly cool and as sober as a man could be. He dis cussed his trouble with the indiffer- ence of an outsider. He said:
 Matthews and l were playing monte, which was being dealt by Johnson in his saloon where the kill ing occurred. Twice Matthews claim ed bets on the table which belonged to me. Both times l took the money regardless of his protestations. The second time that took my money which Matthews claimed he called me a bad name and said: Yes, you can take it. you - -, put you won't keep 1t long.
