The Benefit.

A well known medical man was
attending an old Irish woman who
lived in one of the poorer quarters
of Edinburgh. She had been i'll, but
was conyalescent, when one day she
said to the doctor:
"Will ye tell me, doctor, dear,
for certain, whether I'll get well
again or MOI"
"0h, yes. 1 think you'll be all
right soon now" was the answer.
II wanted to know for sure, ye
see, doctor, because I'm a lone wom-
an an I subscribe to buryin' So
ciety, an 1 just wished to know if
I was likely to be gettin' any bene-
fit out of it or no."-Strand Maya

LET Brownsville set out early
this year with a determination to
improve its sidewalks. There is
constant complaint on all sides
about the condition of our side
walks, and our property owners
owe it to the public as well as to
themselves to remedy this cause
for complaint. One gentleman
who was here during last year,
and who had been here some
twenty years before, declared that
on this his latest visit he had
stumbled over a hole in a certain
sidewalk which was exactly the
same hole over which he had STUN
bled twenty years ago. Perhaps
The gentleman's memory was not
exactly accurate, but his saying
serves to illustrate what THE HER
AID says about the general COM
plant of bad sidewalks here. Good
walks add much to the appearance
of a town and also increase the
comfort of its pedestrians, there
fore let us build good walks.

A CEMENT block factory is one
of the gifts of the New Year to
Corpus Christi, which is an added
evidence of progress and enterprise
in that thriving place. If THE
HERALD remembers Alright, the
Business Mems Club some months
ago promised, among several other
industrial enterprises, to secure a
cement block factory for Browns
vile. So far, however. neither
that nor the other promises have
materialized. It is to be regretted
that our town continues to lag
behind in the matter of establishing
small industries, as they would
serve greatly to enhance the general
prosperity of our people. induce
anents should be offered for the
investment of outside capital in
such enterprises. and every effort
made to develop the growth of
small industries here. 1t takes
energy and enterprise to build up
a town and Brownsville should not
allow itself to appear lacking in
these vitality important qualities.

of the entries in this event are the fastest stock in Arizona and New Mexico, and 8 great race is expected.
 Another big event on the program, and probably the one which will noid the greatest interest of not only Arl- zonans. but of people from all sec tions of the country, will be the cow boy relay race. For this event the management has procured three Of the finest riders in the entire west, namely: Jim Kenney, the we'll known local cowboy; Tuck Potter, the cham pion relay racer of the Territory, and Bird Yost. known throughout the Ter ritory among cattlemen. All of these boys have brought their own mounts from their ranges, and each one IS confident of being able to capture the prize. entering into the sport with the true enthusiasm Of the western plains men. Disdaining to ride a gaited horse these cowboys will, without doubt, give the finest exhibition oi horsemanship, quick changing oi mounts and knowledge of horse ever dfsplayed in the Territory.
 The entire program Is expected t6 be a great success, and will no doubi furnish the greatest amusement fol the thousands of people who will turr out to witness the greatest celebration in the history of the Warren District

GREAT PROGRAM ARRANGED fOR
 PEOPLE
Besides Local Events Big Show Will Be Given at Don Luis Baseball Park-Big Game, Relay Race, Etc.

One of the greatest attractions of the celebration in the district today will be the program given at the Don Luis baseball park this afternoon, under the direction of John H. Me Gregor, the well known local athletic promoter. The program will be va- ried, and will contain some of the finest exhibitions ever given in the Territory. A special train will leave the local depot for the grounds this afternoon at o'clock.
 Several weeks ago McGregor and associates hired the Don Luis ball park for the occasion, and since that time have been preparing the list of events which will be given there to- day. In arranging for the amusement of the public. neither time nor ex- pense has been spared to secure the best possible attractions that would be in accordance with the spirit of the occasion.
 One of the features of the program will be the big baseball game between Bisbee and Douglas. which will, with out doubt be one of the finest exhibi- tions of the national sport ever given in the Territory. The local team has been strengthened within the past couple of weeks by the addition of five players from the University Of Hin ois, all of whom have played semi professional ball. and the fans believe that Douglas will have the hardest proposition ever tackled. On the other hand, it was learned last even ing that the Shelter City team had wired to Fort Huachuca for the crack battery that has been greatly instru- mental in winning most of the games played by the army boys during the past couple of years. The pitcher and catcher of the Fifth Cavalry baseball team passed through the city last evening on their way to Douglas. where they will join the aggregation and come to Bisbee today.
 Second in interest to none will be the great horse race, probably the largest running race ever pulled of in the Territory, in which more than thirty horses have been entered. Some

CASSIDY AND BRIDE
 RETURN ID CITY
Postmaster and Wife Welcom- ed on Their Return From
 Honeymoon,

Among the arrivals yesterday morn ing were Mir. and Mrs. M. E. Cassidy, of this city, who have just returned from their honeymoon of several weeks spent in the great northwest, and southern California. They went immediately to the home which MT. Cassidy prepared for his bride on Ma son Hill in Tombstone Canyon.
 Postmaster Cassidy and his bride, who was formerly Miss Nell Reynolds, were very fortunate in escaping from the series of trouble which had been arranged for them at the time of their leaving the city for their honeymoon, immediately after the wedding break fast, and were again fortunate yester- day morning on their return, as they had written to several friends that they would not be home until tomor- row. They arrived in the city yester- day morning on the eastbound train from Los Angeles, and escaped to their home without being made miserable by the kind attentions Of the host of friends that both of them have in the city.
 Within afew minutes after the train arrived, however, the renort spread ofSA lhG Cilf thetl -hl- Uuo 4siA Ssf SoS- sidy had returned, and immediately plans were made for a chirivari.
 Last evening about g o'clock in spite of the heavy thunderstorm which lowered over the city, and in spite of the fact that many of them had busi- ness to attend to in preparation for the big Fourth of July celebration, twenty one stalwart friends of the couple SC cured tin cans and marched to the home of the bride and groom, where the worst racket ever heard in the district, since the explosion of the Denn-Arizona powder magazine, was set up.
 In order to save the feelings oi those in the neighborhood. the post. master appeared at the door and wei. comed the crowd on the condition that the noise would stop. ..

SUDDEN DEATH CAUSES GREAT
 SADNESS
Hosts of Friends of Mrs. Geo. keenhold Learn of Her Un- expected Passing Away Was Admirable Lady.

Throughout the entire city yester- day could be heard expressions of sur prise and roget over the death of Mrs. George Keenhold. we'll known and beloved by everyone who knew her, because of her amiable and sweet disposition. Her death came as g shock to numerous friends who believed her to be in the very best of health.
 Ever since the unfortunate and pit iful death of her husband almost two years ago as the result of having been bitten by pet dog, while on a hunting trip, Mrs. Keenhold has car ried on the jewelry business which her universally admired and popular husband had established in the city. Everyone who knew her admired Mrs. Keenhold for the wonderful energy and business capacity that she dis played She had a host of friends and even as late as last Saturday af- ternoon many of them had called at the establishment and chatted with her, noticing not the slightest differ ence from her usual happy conversa- tion.
 Late Saturday night Mrs. Keenhold became quite i'll, and a physician was called in. The doctor prescribed for her. but as she did not respond readily to treatment, advised her re- moyal to the Copper Queen hospital
 At first the Illness was thought nothing more than a slight indisposi- tion, but as the patient grew gradu- ally worse, the physicians summoned every effort known to medicine to stay the progress of the ailment which baffled them. Despite the skill of the doctors and the constant at tentiOn of the nurses, on Sunday the suffering lady grew steadily worse, and about midnight her life was de spaired of.
 Hoping against their knowledge that the good woman must die, the physicians spared no pains or endeaV- or to check the disease. In spite Of every effort Mrs. Keenhold gradually | lost strength until ,5:30 yesterday morning, when the struggle was over. So puzzling had been the case that an autopsy was decided upon by the physicians and surgeons, the result of which was the discovery that the ! deceased had been suffering from l general tuberculosis. Although ap- parently in the best of health, and i never considered delicate woman, | Mrs. KeenLold was vicIlm of the great Wha Plague. Soon after her death word was sent | to relatives in Knoxville, Tenn, an l nouncing the painful news. No run. eraI arrangements will be made until l instructions are received from the | family.
 Mrs. Keenhold earned the highest
 respect nf everyone in the comInu, nity, when. although absolutely wlth- | out any business training whatever she took hold of the business estao, Hshed by her husband and conducted it so successfully that at the tune
 of her death she was considered moderately rich woman.

W. P. Dale for School Director.

In announcing his candidacy for Presi-
dent of District No. |. w p. Dale did
so at the earnest solicitation of many
leading citizens, heavy tax payers and
most earnest patrons OF the District.
Mr.. Dale is not an office seeker. but he
is man who recognizes that to do ones
duty as citizen it is sometimes ncccs-
sary to accept public responsibilities.
In this case it is the Office seeking the
man instead of the man seeking the
office.
The position of School Director is one
of large responsibility. The proportion
of taxation expended to maintain our
public schools is heavy. The expendi-
ture of thousands of dollars annually to
maintain the schools should be placed
in the hands of men who will fulfill the
duty conscientiously and from the
standpoint of greatest possible good to
the entire community without regard
to personal advantage or advancement
This money should be expended in a
way to bring the best results and to
most largely advance the cause of cdu-
cation and carry our schools to the
highest point of perfection. The man
who seeks position of this kind from
the standpoint of personal power to re-
ward his friends and punish his enemies
is dangerous to the community. W. p.
| Dale is a man who would have in mind
the advancement of education and per-
fection of our public school system
without regard to locality or favoritism
of any kind.
Mr.. Dale came to Colorado in 1880
and has been citizen of the Western
Slope almost continuously since that
time. He has held positions of trust
and large responsibility on account of
his ability to properly handle them He
entered the train service of the Rio
Grande railroad during the year 1881
and was in the employ of this company
continuously for 10 years. He was pro-
noted to the responsible position Of
Train Master, Assistant Superintendent
and Superintendent of the Grand June
ton terminals. He severed his connec-
tion with the Railroad Company in 1902
and moved to Delta and will have been
resident of this community. years
next December. No man stands higher
with the leading officials of the Rio
Grande railroad than does W. P. Dale.
