 RIVALRY
Lowell Stands Ready To Dis pute Right Of BiSbee Or Douglas To Prize,-6reat Enthusiasm Prevails.

With every day interest increases in the great Elks celebration which Will take place on Sunday at Dop Luis baseball park, preceded by the most magnificent parade ever seen in the district. The beauty contest contin- ues to be the main topic of conyersa- ton throughout the city, and judging from the rivalry which has been arous- ed both in Douglas and here, the judges will not 0Hly have very deli cate, but very difficult task to per form in arriving at 6 decision,
 The latest development in counec- tion with the beauty contest mas been a protest from Lowell demanding that that suburb be given representation on the committee af judges. as aiready the names of a number of young Ia dies from that vicinity have been filed with the committee. Bisbee continues confident of being able to carry off the palm without any trouble, while from Douglas come reports that the prize is considered already won by supp0FTers or InF suIeryET cITy IdYUr- iits.s. Taking ever thing into SoItsiI eration itcan be said without fear or contradiction that OF Sunday the large number of automobiles which will ap- pear In the parade will carry the flow CT Of Cochise county beauty.
 Interest in the baseball game has become enthusiastic. with considerable betting going on at even money, as neither side will give any odds. The smelter city team has already estao- iished a record by defeating the crack Midland team of Fl Paso. which de feated Cananea. while the local team Is made up of the best players to be found in the district, and all are mem bers of the Elks lodge.
 During the last couple of days al most everyone has ben wearing tags reminding one another of the big ceie- bration and enthusiasm is at a hign pitch.

 CIRRUS
Brady Arrives Here On Way EaSt.-TaIks About Fea- tires 0f WnhdIS Graafncf SShhow.-Worlderfui SShhow-'Wtforldierffuii Acts.

Among the arrivals in the city last evening was James J. Brady, general press agent for the Ringing Brothers circus, who is now on his way east and will leave this morning for Doug las to Iok after matters in his de, partment at that point. after which hs will go on to Fl Paso.
 Brady is one of the old time circus men, having been connected with the business fo ra great many years, the last nine of which he has been In his present position. Because of his long and varied experience he is aa authority on the great shows, and IS familiar with all the big acts which thrill the old and young alike. In talking of the big circus last evening he said:
 This is the first time Ringing Brothers have ever brought their show to Blsbee, although we have played most of the cities in the south west This fact has been due prin- cipally to the difficulty of making connections. Of course as everyone knows 1t is the most enormous pro duction h the world today, necessi- tating S5 ears to transport 1t. The cars are all the property of the com pany, the only thing being furnished by the railroads being the motive power. Now one can easily see that in /ordertohave a good opportunity to show here. and am mighty glad that the oportnnity has been afforded, yas without doubt Bisbee is the busiest city in the southwest. l say this in spite of the fact that have been told here Is a depression in business Tresent.
 T ca1 assure the people of Bisbee that no such production as Rinsling's has ever before been shown here, as there is none in the world today which ] begins to compare with 1t in magni. tude. Practically all of the actS are new and have been gathered together at an enormous expense, some of them being brought from Persia and other distant countries
 For me to attempt to go into de tails of explaining the wonderful pro gram of the great circus would be absurd. as there are so ma iy different acts that 1t would take long time to even name them, without the slightest comment But rhat appeals to me as one of the grea est features Is the enormous tent which covers twelve acres of ground. and seats A., eco people. This Is the largest in the world and the most comfortable. It is so lighted that Lersnn can sit in any portion of it and ssd the finest print without the slightest trouble. All oi this tends to the comfort of the enor nous crowds. and comfort Is certain Fly pleasant"

.DRACHMAN HERE ON THEAIER
 DEAL
Tucson Manager May Take Management Of Local Play houSe.-Matter Will Prob ably Be Settled Today,

If negotiations which are now on foot are successful t Is probable that Emanuel Drachman, owner of the Elysian Grove at Tucson. will pur- chase an interest in the orpheum Theatre ompany of this city, and will take over the management of the house. A meeting was held last even ing when Drachman met the stock holders of the company but no agree ment was arrived at.
 . For the past couple of weeks the house has been financially embarrass- ed because of the fact that creditors have been forced to sue out attach ments to secure themselves. On Tuesday E. R. Harrington. assignee sued out an attachment for $I750, money advanced by the firm of Duey & Overlook, and when this was seTF- ed an agreement was made to turn tle management of the house over to the creditors representative hop ing that the indebtedness could be worked out.
 Within the past couple of days. how ever, Drachman arrived in the city and meeting the stockholders, made a proposition to them looking toward his taking over the management ID connection with his houses sn Tucson and Phoenix. It Is understood some matters came up later which caused Drachman to alter his opinion iI the matter. and meeting was held last evening to determine whether some agreement could not be reached.
 After the session it was stated by one who was present that although no definite agreement had been reached. the proposition was still open, and will probably be acted on one way or the other today
 There has been some talk of nak ing arrangements with A. L. Manahan to take over the establishment but this depends on the outcome of ne gotiations today.
 The house is now being operated Temporarily by F. A. NSater in the in tepests of the creditors.

MOST STRIKING LIKENESS IF
 TWO MEN
Sheriff White Arrests Man An Swering Description of Hoff- man in Almost Every Par tieular.-Is Mistaken,

ziItST capturing man wnO an- swered in almost every particular the description of Adolph HoffNlan,. who Is supposed to have murdered an ola man, after securing horse and bug by from a local livery stable a week ago, and bringing him to B.sbee, Sheriff Jack White was compelled to give him his liberty yesterday morn ing, as people who knew the alleged murderer stated that he was not the man. Such a strange coincidence seldom occurs.
 The sheriff was in the northern DOT tion of the territory on official bus mess during the early part of the week and yesterday morning had re turned as far as Tucson on his way home. He was informed that a man answering to the description of Hoff. man was being held for inspection.
 White met the man referred to who was evidently i'll at ease as soon as the conversation was commenced
 When asked concerning his move.
 ments, he admitted having been in
 Bisbee, and had on his person a time
 book in which regular shifts in the
 local mines were registered up until June 14th, after which date the pages 1 in the book were torn out. White questioned him about the time inter vening between June IA and Septem Der IA, when the next record was
 made in the book, but he could make
 no satisfactory explanation.
 | His personal appearance, with tht { exception of a moustache, cores | bonded exactly with that of Hoffman
 even to tatooed star on the righ ! fore arm, so White placed him undel arrest and brought him to Bisbee
 On the way he had the man sign hi | name, and even this in many partic ulars tallied with sample of the fu 1 gitive's signature
 | As soon as he arrived :n the cit, | the sheriff took his prisoner to Low { ell. where he had several people whi | knew the fugitive well converse witl ! the prisoner and look him over, bu | they all stated that he ,as mot tn, man. whereupon 1he sheFtff gave hin his liberty and sent him back to Tue
 son. TalkiHgu about the maEterolas i evening the sheriff said-
 'I have never seen man tally | exactly with a description of anothe | in my life The fact that he dit not wear moustache would oRly tend to corroborate his being the man
 However. those people with whom h,
 boarded and who knew him well ant | others said was wrong, so had moth 1 ing else to do but give him his lib ! eTty''

SDHOOL MATTER MADE CLEAR

Reports Of Prosecutions In Innocent Cases Arise From Misunderstanding. n Guilty Cases Prosecuted,

it 30 snis that tiie reports "bI1n iase been current in the city during the past couple of weeks concerning the prosecution of parents who intend sending their children to the Catholic convent as soon aS dt Is opened. have been due entirely to musunder- standing of the situation No such action as this can be taken and the only one who will be prosecuted bein5 those parents who violate the compul- sory education law by neglecting to see that their children enter the pub lie schools, when they do not intend to send them to the convent.
 c. F. Philbrook, superintendent of the local public schools, called at the Review office yesterday and made the following statement:
 Positive instructions were issued to the truant officer on the question of those children whose parents in 1 tend sending them to the convent ! school. No prosecution was ever contemplated in these cases as there | Is no ground for prosecution, the par i ents being fully within their rights | in sending their children to whatever school they desire.
 The only cases which it was con ! templated to punish were those where people had through their own neglect | omitted their duty to send their chil- ! dren to the public schools, when they 1 do not intend entering them at the convent One can easily see how peo- ! pie not intending to send their chil. | dren to the convent, when called on for an explanation Of absence, can readily assert that they do intend to do so, and I believe cases of this kind have led to these rumors.
 Tn those cases where the childreI should be in attendance at the public schools We want to enforce the law strictly because if the average daily attendance is allowed to fall off, the
 school apportionment will fall off ac cordingly, and it will be impossible to pay the operating expenses. There are maly cases of this kind, but nzfhin aS short lime they will prob sbt all bz bzattenaed to-"

All the other cases were heard by Justice Hogan.
 The education law requires that a child must attend school for SIX sehool months of each year, either at a private or public school, and twenty weeks of this attendance mus be consecutive. The attendance must commence within two weeks after the opening of the school which the child is to attend. A violation of any oi these provisions makes a parent lia bie On misdemeanor charge.

Found Noah's Diary.

CHICAGO, November ia dispatch
to the Tribune from Detroit, Mich. says:
An alleged copy of Noah's diary, en-
graved upon copper tablet dug up in
Michigan and offered for sale to a Wis
consin collector, has resulted in uncovering
one of the cleverest relic swindles of recent
years. 4 former secretary of state is
claimed to be implicated in the affair, and
with him are university museum curator
and other Michigan men.
Michigan copper formed the basis of the
enterprise, which consisted in manufactur
ing ancient relics out of copper, painting
them green to represent verdigris, dipping
them in corrosive acid and burying them
in mounds, after which they were dug up
by relic hunting expeditions under the
leadership of the promoters.
The af1idavits of prominent citizens that
they had seen the relies dug out of the
ground were sufficient to secure their sale
to credulous collectors, no one dreaming
that the prehistoric age might have been
only eleven months before. Indian cop
per implements, battle axes Of leaf copper,
well-tempered spearheads and other sup
posed rare and anciently corroded relics
that have been treasured in Michigan and
outside museums are declared to be bogus,
with the result that all collections of the
sort are thrown under more or less suspic-
ion.
As finishing touch to a gigantic swim
die the relic manufacturers branched off
from Indian relics. They went SO far as
to dig up in the presence Of reputable wit
nesses bronze tablets inscribed with hero
glyphics and symbols of the biblical deluge
and the tower of Babel.
The diary of Noah was offered to Il
wealthy man of Wisconsin, who asked the
advice of museum curator as to accepting
it. This man had had considerable ex-
perience with fakes, and warned the relic
patron to beware Whether the relic final
" was sold cannot be learned

Pet Jackass A Suicide

GREENWICH, Conn, Nov IL. What is
looked upon as deliberate suicide on the
part of a pet jackass owned by John Boles,
neighbor of Ernest Thompson Seton,
caused by sorrow by the death of a dog
which had been companion of the animal,
occurred this morning at Coscob.
The dog was killed by trolley car
which ran by the Boles house, while the
jackass, grazing nearby, was witness.
The animal waited until another car came
along, then jumped over fence and ran
deliberately in front of the car. The car
was derailed and the jackass killed instantly.
1t will be given decent burial, for it
is believed to have had more human feel
ing than the ordinary jackass is supposed
to possess, and the boys of the neighbor-
hood who compose the Seton Indian tribe
will attend in body.
