GREAT CIRCUS
IS COMING
Sslls-Floio viii Visit Chickashs Mon
day August 10
(FTom Wedneadaylg Dailyl

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
A sudden downpour Of rain or a
long continued drizzle will have no
effect on the patrons Of the great
sells-Flotp Shows when it exhibits
here. The reason Of this will be ap-
parent 10 everyone who sees the huge
tents that will be erected here for the
performance. They are all construct
ed Of "mercerized" ducking. This
marvellous invention for the water
proofing Of material has been in use
for rain coats, but up to this year has
never been used for tents. People
who have used "mercerIzed" cloth
know how 1t sheds water, and was the
knowledge Of this that caused the
Sells-Floto shows to have all their
tents made Of this material II Is
quite a stride in advance of other
shows, but is only in keeping with the
progressiveness Of the management Of
these shows. Beneath these tents
spectators can sit in comfort and ease
during the heaviest Of rains and be as
as if in the finest theater in the
country. This is only one Of the many
novelties that have been added to
these shows this season.
It is respectfully suggested that
the children attend the afternoon ex-
hibition where ample is given to view
the large meagerie, likewise avoid
ing the night crowds. Uniformed ush-
ers will attend to every want Of the
little folks and care and attention
paid to ladies and children is the first
consideration Of the management.
The only big circus that will visit
here this year is the Sells-Floto shows
and the date is Monday, August the
10th.

DOUGLAS, July 12.-(SpeciaL)--
 Commenting editorially on the et. forts of the Western Federation Of Miners to enter Douglas the Ell Paso Herald. from an independent point of view, says:
 Tt is good to see the determination with which the people of Douglas are resisting the invasion of the Western Federation of Miners. The fedora tion is trying 70 organize the smelter employees. the object being to secure their cooperation ir bringing Bisbee to its knees. The smeltermen nave not invited the federation to organize them. The shelter employees receive good wages and fair treatment, and they have never brought up any griev' ances for settlement.

valuations came up before the board there was considerable discussion among the members and the placing of the above valuations was fixed by Messrs. Bowen and McCabe, while Chairman Riggs voted against it. This rate will affect the valuations placed by Assessor Howe on the HOO mining claims in the county. Assess or Howe had fixed the valuation of claims at s2O per acre in the War ren district, and at $10 per acre for those in other districts of the county. The changing of these valuations by the board will make considerable ad- ditional work for the county assessor as well as the clerk of the board, in going over the rails and making the changes. It is expected that the changes will increase the total val uation of the county a little. but not to any great extent, as it will reduce the valuation in the Warren district on some claims from $20 to S5 per acre and others to S15.
 Beside this the board made num- Der of raises in several instances. The assessment on the Pcople's Cash Store in Bisbee on the stock of mer- cnandise was raised from 5000 to s4COG: Brown & Hortivz. merchant disc, Bisbee. raised from $1S50 to s5OOO. Monk Brothers raised $50 head of cattle. Pruitt & Wickersham raised 100 head of cattle; and George Lawhorn, fifty head. The board has adjourned to meet on the third Mon day in August, at which time the board will listen to any complaint in regard to proposed raises, and dur ing the session the board will fix the rate for this year. which is expected to be about sl.75 per hundred

 The arguments of the attorneys were brief in comparison to those de hvered at the last trial. Attorneys Strickler. Neale and Sutter speaking for the prosecution, while Kearney and worsley spoke for the defense. The case going to the jury at o'clock. it is the consensus of opinion among those who have watched the proceedings that the result will be the same as that in the former trials, hung jury.
 During the progress of the trial which occupied the entire day, the streets of Lowell presented a very lively appearance, owing to the inter est displayed by the public in gen eral.
 During the afternoon the loungers on the streets were treated to a lit tie set to of the game of knock down and drag out. made famous by one John L. Sullivan. It seems that a miner now employed, took exceptions to a remark made by James Manning one of the pickets now under arrest and swung a hay maker on MT. Man ning's jaw. This little exhibition of the manly art was greatly appreciat- ed by those who were so fortunate as to not get sAnding room in the court.
 Deputy Sheriff Frank Bauer this af- ternoon arrested the woman, Viola Webster and Boss Da-is, who were held to appear as witnesses at the coroner's inquest in the case of the man Le Roy found dead in an old shack back of the Mason Carriage Company. but who were released at- ter the inquest. The arrest this af- ternoon came after the officer had succeeded in locating a portion of the property stolen from the Pitts burg change room. This consisted Of

declaring where they stand The res olutions passed by a mass meeting and printed in the Herald today are not open to misconstruction.
 "The men of Douglas are taking precisely the right stand. The inva- sion of the Western Federation in Douglas and Bisbee can mean nothing but strife, disorder. and loss, to wage workers and employers, to miners and merchants; everybody will sui fer, and nobody will gain but the or they stir up among others and whose ful settlement of honest differences, positions depend, not on the peace but on the urjustifiable disturbing of conditions that do not call for any body's interference.
 ''Firmness at tiI:s Juncture among the business men and general public of Bisbee and Douglas will prevent trouble in future. A big majority of the wage workers oppose the methods of the federation and do not want to have anything to do with it. Coercion may force miners and smeltermen in to this organization when they would much prefer to stay out. Firmness among that part of the population not directly engaged in mining and smelt ing will encourage those in the indus try who oppose the federation to stand out against it. Any temporary losses will be far more than offset by permanent gains"

a razor and strop stolen the night Le Roy and the man Harry Hickman held by the coroner's jury as being re- spOnsible for his death, claimed to have started for the l.. s. & P. to rustic a job The raXoT and strOp have been identified by Levi COombs a miner employed at the Pittsburg, as belonging to him and were stolen that night. The razor was found near the spot where Le Roy was shot while the strop was located in the shack occupied by the defendant and the man Davis and his female com panion, Viola Webster.
 The finding of the razor and strOp the officers believe, will lead to the conviction of the bunch on a charge of burglary, if it does not convict the man Hickman of the more serious charge of murder. There is every req son to believe that Hickman and Le Roy. instead of starting out to rus tie the mines for a job were upon an other mission. namely that of rob- ping the change rooms, and that Hickman becoming suspicious of Le Roy shot him. thinking therby to pre- vent Le Roy from ever telling any thing of the nights escapade in case they were arrested for the crime. The woman. Viola Webster and her com panion, Davis. are being held by the officers on suspicion. The whole out fit have been living in shacks back of Bauer's old slaughter house and have been under surveillance of the officers for some time. This is not the first time the Webster woman has been in trouble. She has been mixed up in the courts more or less for the last two years and bears 2 very unsavOry reputation.

 It was long after o'clock before the taking of testimony began, the first witness being Deputy Sheriff J. M. Johnson. whose testimony was vir- tually the same as that given at the other cases. There was a great num- Der of witnesses subpoenaed who were never called upon to testify, principally those who were connect ed with the different mining com panies in the capacity of shift bosses and time keepers.
