They Needed the Medicine.

Some years ago a railway was be ing made in the west of Scotland, and 1t was arranged that each of the nu- merous laborers employed should pay a penny per week to a medical prac- tttloner, so that they might have his services in the event of accident or medicine in case of illness.
 During the summer and autumn nei- their illness nor accident occurred.
 But when a severe winter followed all at once the ''naviSatOrs" began to call on the doctor for castor oil.
 Each brought his bottle. into which an ounce was poured, until the oil was exhausted. and the doctor was forced to send to town Tor a farther supply. When that iQo.- -MnS CGtting low the doctor one day quietly asked q healthy looking fellow what was wrong with the men that they required so much castor oil.
 "Nothing wrong at all, doctor" he re. piled, but we grease our boots with it"-London Chronicle.

Tennyson's Cynicisn.

Sir We're de We're was the eldest son of Sir Aubrey de We're, the sonneteer and friend of Wordsworth. His broth CT, Aubrey de We're, was a more than well known, a famous poet, and to him in his youth Walter Savage Lan- dor addressed the exhortation:
 Make thy proud name still prouder for
 thy sons
 He had no sons, however, never hay ing married. Neither had his brothers, We're and Stephen. Thus the name, as a family name, disappears.
 The De Veres were early friends of Tennyson's, and it was from them that the poet took the name which be made proverbial and synbolIcal of a class-''the caste Of We're de We're" Lady de We're, the only Lady de We're of fact then living, was inclined to complain that her name should be be. slowed upon the black hearted Lady Clara of fiction.
 Tennyson wrote dainty verses, but was not master of dainty manners. He growled: "Why should you care? But of course you don't. I didn't make your namesake ugly, and didn't make her stupid. I only made her wicked"

Board of Supervisors Asks for Bids for Work at Beer
 Garden

According to the advertisement of the board of supervisors m asking TOT bids for tIe SAc8VssLeiIs c5 inc county road, near .ae beer garden just east of the city uniss, the county will not wait the deteI'mnaJica of the con demnation proceedings brought in the district court aga'IEit Peter Hansen and wife, to condemn the strip that is wanted to make tue county road at that point in conformity with the with of the road on both sides of that place, but will at once enter into contract for the excavating and take a chance at the result of the value placed upon the damage done to the property by the court. The county has already furnished a bond in the case so that the defendants will not be injured by any loss.
 The road will be widened by the board of supervisors to at least forty feet, it at the present time being about twenty feet. It is estimated that about t430 cubic yards of earth and rock will have to be moved to make the road that wide, and the county offers to pay not to exceed S17S6 for the work. County Surveyor McNeish of this city, has copy of the proposed changes that are to be made that can be seen by those who intend bidding for the work. The bids will be opened by the board of supervisors in Tombstone on the evening of November 18th.

SCRUB EVERY STONE
 IN MAKING DAM
Great Care Taken at Roosevelt to Avoid Trouble in Fu-
 ture Years
(Phoenix Democrat )

Notwithstanding the ract that tho
 completion of the soyeT fIiIIeTitt dam al
 Roosevelt is almost as far off as il
 was estimated to be in the beginning and taking into consideration the fact that Contractor O'Rourke has strug- gled along under what a gambler would call "a bum run of cards" the great government storage project is now running along nicely. according to W. F. Gray, who is the private seo- rctary to Constructing Engineer Smith and who arrived in Phoenix today to take the civil servie examination.
 In the absence of freshet, great progress will be made in the next few months, and those who visit the camp now will hardly recognize the dam as being a part Of the same structure by the time another year is past.
 Labor. the lack of which has SC handicapped the contractor in the past, is now plentiful A short time ago O'Rourke brought out crew of men from the east, hiring them under the positive contract to pay them S3 a day. Now that so many of the mines have laid off men, a considerable num- ber of them have gone to Roosevelt. They have gone there m sufficient numbers to fill up all the gangs of muckers, and if the contract men could be disposed of a saving of fifty cents a day per man would be affect ed, for the reason that these miners are willing to work for an average wage of $2.5O.
 Few people, even those who have visited Roosevelt, says cray. realize the extreme care taken in building the dam. Over each gang Of men employ ed in the actual task of laying the stone, is a government inspector. This man does not take the pface of the gang boss, but merely sees that the government instructions arc carried out.
 For instance. it is his psace to see that every stone is carefully washed and scrubbed with a steel brush be- fore it is put in place. IT he detects a lack of diligence in this regard, the stone must be taken out or the dam and properly scrubbed. when one stops to consider that these stones often weigh as much as eight or ten tons, the importance attached to the scrubbing process is at once apparent.
 The stones are scrubbed for this reason: If the stone is entirely free from a coating of dirt or clay, the ce- ment will harden to the rock itself, and thus when the dam Is completed the whole structure will be as hard and compact as if it were one gigantic stone. But if the cement be allowed to harden on a crust or foreign sub stance instead of on the rock proper a weak place will remain which may in the future afford an opportunity for seepage, and ultimately result in the disintegration of the dam.

PHoENIT HORSE MAKES
 GOOD IN THE EAST
Phoenix RepublicanO

AOCALA IlSpuDllCdu.J
 J. c. Adams received a telegram yesterday from Driver Ed Hall, an nouncing that Justo, the promising 2 year-old colt belonging to Mrs. Adams and concerning which something was printed a few days ago, had taken fourth money at Lexington in a race that was won in 2:131-4.
 Justo was sired by Jaybird, the sire ot Allerton, thus belonging to a very distinguished family. Every action in which he has started has resulted in new record for each particular stake He was second in the Horse Review Futurity at Columbus, where both heats were trotted in 2:16 If and last week he was sixth in the Lexington Futurity in which the worlds record for 2-year-olds was broken by a marx for 2:121-4. The race yesterday was the Kentucky Stake. The worlds rec ord until this year, for 2-year-olds. ha. been 2:142. In each of these three stakes there were over a thousand entries being made before the colts were foaled.
 The Jaybird family's best reputation however, is for 3-year-olds, so that it is expected that Justo will literally burn up the track next year and he is already entered in stakes that az gregate S75,000.
 News has been received also of 2 recent performance of Bystander that is interesting. It occurred last week il Lexington in the 2:0S pace, and By stander got third money, though ht had a fine showing for first place until overtaken by misfortune. In tht third heat after two heats had beer taken by Lady Maude, the latter horse broke in the stretch wher pressed by Bystander and Tommy H Lady Maude sweryed, and running into the other horses, threw them down A fourth horse, Bonanza, won the heat The race was continued the next day Bystander finishing second in tho heat, and Lady Maud winning the race. Bystander was pressing I.ady Maude hard and as she has defeated Tommy Ii every time he has met hin this year, there is reason to believe that only for this accident he woulC have won the race. Neither horse! nor drivers were seriously hourt fl the mix-up.

and George Dunn, well known Bisbee men, who rode in from an extensive prospecting expedition in the hills be- low AriZpe.
 George and I were coming up from Arizpe and were tired out" said Downs, "and it was our plan to rest up a bit at his camp in the Ajos. When we passed through Bachoachi suggested that we get something to eat there, but Dunn said all that we needed was some bacon and he had the rest of the stuff, canned goods, beans and whole mess of food at his camp. We got the bacon.
 After riding about thirty miles, when we were nearing his camp, the pack animal We had with us gave out. We turned it loose and put the bacon on the front of my saddle. We had gone but a little distance when my horse shied at something and I lost the bacon. Never mind, there's plenty of stuff in camp said George.
 Well you can talk of thunderstruck people, but when We got to the place where the camp ought to have been we found the place cleaned out. Tools, tent, food, everything was gone. We managed to find some beans which had dropped from a sack in which there was hole and also found some beans that had grown up wild. We plucked the wild ones and cleaned the others eating them when half cooked, We were so hungry. We tried to, but could not find the bacon for some time; in fact, until the next morning. We ate some of this raw bacon and started to trail the thief, but had to quit before we got any def nite trace on account of having no food.
 We then rode back to Bacoachi to rest up. The best thing I ever got in my life was that first square meal. No more for me. The next time go to any mans camp to rest, am going to take everything with me even to cooking stove"

WILL RIP THE D0lNGS

CContinued from First Page1

CContinued from First PageO backs upon him, and at the same time vied with one another in paying atten- ton to Mrs. Batonyi.
 "I have stood everything l could" !" said Batonyi. But now I am going to fight"
 He says that if Newport wishes to hound him he will show up" New port
 Even in the court proceedings Ba- tonyi says there seems to be an ef- fort to keep him in the dark if pos sible. He has yainly demanded a bill of particulars. All he knows at pres ent is that a divorce suit has been brought by his wife and that he has ie7-s 177z-s @sz.atsI @ A Eitle TeaRaEs in Ehat 1EaS termed Action No. l and action No. 9"
 He does not know what these are. One, he thinks, may be for an annul- ment of his marriage upon the ground that his wife was never properly di- vorced from Burke-Roche. She ob- tained a decree in Delaware and at the time everyone seemed perfectly satisfied that she was divorced, al lIOuSu LlS utCLtt Lll6ul uOJ DC ItG- ognized by the English courts. The second action may be in regard to money, but Batonyi is still in the dark.
 Since Batonyi arrived in this coun- try in 1899 he has been involved in several exciting escapades. He began his career here as a riding master, and became prominent as a four-in- hand driver. As a trainer for the stable of John s. Wentz he became widely known in the horseshow set and met Mrs. Burke-Roche at a show in Madison Square Garden. Soon after ward he went to Newport as manager of her stables there and finally came the announcement of their marriage, which 1t was later learned had taken place one year before the annaounce- ment- Mir. Work publicly disowned his daughter. She had to give up her luxurious Newport home and go with Batony to the farm.

MAIL ID LOWELL FOUR TIMES
 4 DAY
An improvement Long Needed -Fiiigh Mogui of # Railway Mail Service Here-Slow- ness of the Old System

The business men of Bisbee and Lowell will rejoice to learn that the inefficient and aggravating mail ser. vice between these two cities will soon be a thing of the past. Ever since Lowell was made a sub-station of Bis, bee, Postmaster Cassidy has been af. ter the department to inaugurate some other service than that ef sending the mail bags over by a school boy. It was not until school started, however, and all the kids had to go to school, that the postmaster was really up against it. He then got the wires to working between here and Washington with the result that within a few days one of the high moguls was looking over the situation. The gentlemen re- feTred to is no other than Assistant Superintendent Roberts of the Rail- way service, the man who was the principal cause of the strike troubles in the Goldfield district coming to an end.
 Mir. Roberts agreed to make the nee essary recommendation to the depart ment at Washington, and as soon as the red tape can be gone through with the mails will be carried between this city and Lowell four times a day The government has only allowed hereto fore the sum of S20O a year For this service and only boys could be induced to carry the mail. That valuable let ters were not lost was owing more to good luck than any other cause. Under the old system it was not unusual for letters addressed to Lowell DeOnle tO come to Bisbee and lay over here twenty-four hours before they were taken to Lowell

Anothsr Reason.

An English clergyman visiting in this country told of jilting that had happened in his parish. He said that he had an appointment to marry a couple at 4 on a certain afternoon. He appeared duly, and the bride appeared, but not the bridegroom. The clergy man and the lady, silent and embar- rassed, waited in the quiet church from 4 till 6. Then they sadly depart ed. A week later the same couple wrote to the clergyman again, ap- pointing another afternoon at 4 for the ceremony. And again the clergy man and the bride were on hand duly. and again the groom failed to turn up. As the two waited time passed slowly in She still and empty church It grew darker. Five o'clock sounded. then 6. And then the bride broke the silence with a fierce ejaculation
 'Drat himr' she cried ~'Tain't his trousers this time, cause l bought him pair"

There was a barber in an Indiana city who, having been out late the night before, had q shaky hand the next morning and cut patrons cheek four times" said the man who insist ed he saw the incident After each accident the barber said as he spong- ed away the blood, oh, dear me, how carelessT and laughed and let it go at that.
 ''The patron took all those gashes in grave silence, but when the shave was over he filed a glass at the water cooler, took a mouthful of water and. with compressed lips, proceeded to shake his head from side to side and to toss 1t up and down.

RyAN'S FRIENDS SPEAK OUT
 FRANKLY
At Secret Meeting of Loyal Supporters Republican Can didate for Mayor of Frisco Learns Cause Is Hopeless

SAN FRACNCISCO, Oct. 19.-Her' is an authentic story that gives som' clear light on the political situation il this city. It is not a campaign yarI nor is it in general circulation fol the facts are being hedged about with greatest secrecy. The strength of the Taylor sentiment seems to be proved even yoIiti tiie claims e his mos' ardent adherents.
 Friends of Daniel A. Ryan, the re publican nominee for mayor, called a meeting of young men, Native Sons and others of his personal circle, for the purpose of forming a club to keep up an organized shouting during the campaign and to put forth efforts in his behalf such as the ties of strong friendship would dictate. Forty young men responded to the invitations for forming a nucleus for such a body.
 The session was held behind closed doors that the situation might be thor oughly discussed. The hurrahing was not to begun until it could be started in an effective manner. There were few politicians in the assemblage, the large majority being actuated by no hunt for office. The loyalty to Dan Ryan could not be questioned, nor could their earnestness.
 The discussion had not proceeded far when it was proposed that every one present should express his opin. ion on the outlook for the candidate. It was explicitly understood that each man was to give his honest view that the greater wisdom might be shown in the future activities of the organiza- tion. It was emphaticaIly agreed that what was said should be kept secret.
 The first man to arise said that he believed that Ryan had a good chance of being elected. He believed that the sentiment at the present time was overwhelmingly for Taylor, but he thought Ryan's campaigning abil- ities might turn the tide
 But the second speaker gave it as his frank opinion that Ryan was an absolutely hopeless factor in the cam paign. He was positive that it was impossible to overcome the sweeping sentiment in favor of Taylor, either by Ryan or McCarty.
 One after another the young men told their views of the situation and the result was that thirty-six of them went on record as believing it impos- sible to defeat Taylor. Four of them expressed hope for Ryan. It was de- cided to give up the idea of forming the club because of the lack of earn est zeal.

ADVANCE GUARD LEAVES FOR
 TUCSON
Baseball Team and Some Fans Get Early Start Huge Excursion Train Will Leave at 8;30 This Morning

About twenty five baseball enthu- siasts who did not want to wait for this mornings train went to Tucson yesterday afternoon, where they will leave nothing undone to coax victory to alight on the banner of the Bisbee team. Among those who boarded the train besides the Bisbee ball team, were seen Messrs. Carl and Ernest Graf, Rinehart, Gresler, Kirk, Me Kean, Boston and Neylan. The party were due to arrive in Tucson at s o'clock. The Bisbee team is in the best of trim physically and are con fident from the experience they have had with the other teams that they will be able to give good account of themselves.
 The management of the local team expected to meet three more of the members at Osborne this evening. two of them being brothers of Shortstop Olson. They will fill positions on the infeld that will make the lineup com plete and present a yeritable stone wall infield when they make their bow to the crowds at the park In Tucson this afternoon.
 The main excursion train that will carry the larger portion of the fans is scheduled to leave the city at S:30 sharp and will be run as a special train from Bisbee direct to Tucson and will stop only at Naco and Fair bank to pick up the Cananea and Tombstone contingents. It was first intended to attach the excursion coaches to the regular Douglas-Ben- son train, but this plan was abandon f-- saIg n1 the train will go direct into Tucson and should arrive there an hour or so earlier than if than if it was handled on the regular train.
 From indications last evening there is no doubt that the excursion that leaves here this morning will be the largest that has ever been taken out of the city. The extreme low rate of s4 for the trip has been a great in- ducement to many to visit the city of Tucson, who have no especial inter est in the ball tournament A num- Der who will leave here have already made arrangements that as soon as 1hey arrive in Tucson they will go out to view the historic San Xavier Mis- sion, the University and Indian schools. There will be plenty of time for all to take in these places while in Tucson before the hour of return has arrived, which has been set for ' D. m- A number will remain over until Monday as the tickets will be honored until Tuesday night.
 Of the baseball fans that will go there are several hundred, and the new grand stand at Tucson will have a large delegation of the Bisbee Rooters' association on hand when the game is called between Bisbee and Douglas at 2:30 this afternoon.
