Illinois Bachelor Girls Put Prize For the One Who Refuses
 the Most Men.

ALTON, H., December 14.-The Gone best bet" in Alton is that if a man asks girl to marry him she will tell him she will be sister to him, that is, if she is a member of the Bachelor Girls club. It matters not if the man be possessed of wealth beyond the dreams of avaricc, if he proposed just now to an Alton "bachelor girl' he will be put on the brotherhood list, tenn porarily, at least.
 The bachelor girls, whose aim in life if to make men propose so they can reject them, have decided to give a silk dress worth $200 to the member who can prove at the leap year ball in Jan uary that she has refused the most of fers.
 If the men do their duty as expected, the bachelor girls figure that each will have at least three new scalps to show when the contest is decided. There are some male skeptics who scent a trap and ask; Suppose l propose, out of good nature, and the girl says 'yesP ,"

GLOBE HARD HIT2"

For several weeks past, Globe has been receiving the sympathy of the ter ritorial press because of the supposed fact that it was "the hardest hit v of any territorial city by the recent fnan. cial panic and the slump in copper, While extremely grateful for the sym. pathy of the other communities, who at the same time used our alleged misfor- tune in making comparisons favorable to themselves, Globe has been digging right along, overcoming all obstacles in it's path, recovering from the slight setback given it in financial way and still looking ahead to the time, which is not far distant, when it will be the greatest copper camp in, not only the southwest, but in the entire country.
 But what we are getting at is this: Last Monday was the last day for the payment of taxes throughout the ter ritory. Already returns have come in from several outside counties. Maricopa, the second largest in the territory in point of assessed valuation and a strict ly agricultural county, boasts that only B l-3 per cent of its taxes, or $lOO,OOO, is delinquent. Phoenix papers have been using much space recently in tell ing the people that agricultural com munities do not suffer anything com pared to mining camps in times of financial stress That may be true, at least We have heard it so often that We have until recently believed.
 It may still be a fact that mining communities suffer most when purse strings in financial centers are drawn to the breaking point, but if it is, then Globe is mighty wonderful excep- tion.
 Of the total amount of taxes due the county on December 9, $173,456.2l, all of it with the exception of $42, ,22427 was paid on or before that day, leaving the percentage of delinquency trife over 24 per cent as against that of B l-3 per cent in the farming county of Marieopa. Pima county, the third largest in assessed valuation in the ter ritory, boasted that on the last two days including the final day of payment the county treasurer collected $37 900. As against those figures, the Gila county treasurer collected over $54,OOO ON THE LAST DAY.
 The showing made by Globe and Gila county in the payment of taxes is a remarkable one, considering the fact that two of its largest banks had sus- pended payment several weeks before people usually think about paying taxes and that "Globe was the hardest hit by the panic. No better demonstration could be obtained of the real condition in Globe than that shown by the figures in the county court house. Farming commodities may be more stable than those who depend upon the mining in- dustry, but had banks containing de. posits of approximately three-quarters of million suspended in county like Maricopa, it would have taken years to get over it.
 After all, it's pretty hard proposi. ton to put mining community down and out for more than a few weeks, while there is a steady income in the shape of eastern money for wages com ing and being distributed to the amount of several hundred thousand dollars monthly.
