.0NF MORE STEP IN
 BACA FLOAT CASE
Secretary of the Interior Approves the Decision of the Commissioner of the General Land Office.

In the matter of the southern Ari- zona land grant case known as Baca Float No. 3, Surveyor General Ingalls, yesterday received a printed copy of the decision of the secretary of the in- teriOr, affirming the decision of the commissioner of the general land of flee, made on the findings reported by the surveyor general who months ago took the testimony in the case.
 The syllabus of the decision of the commissioner, which precedes the de- cision of the secretary of the interior. is as follows:
 The final act by which title passes under the grant made by section of the act Of June 2a, 1860, is the accept ance by the department, and the filing of approved plat and field notes, of a survey whereby the surveyr general made location of the selection of lands affirmatively shown to have been vacant and nonmineral at the date of selection. so far as was then known by the selectors.
 Lands which at the date of the selection of Baca Float No. were em- braced within the TumacacOri, Gala bazas, and San Jose de Sonoita claims were not vacant land within the meaning of section of the act of June 21, 1860, and were therefore not sub ject to such selection"
 It will be remembered that when the commissioners decision was given some time ago there was universal re- joicing among the settlers on the Baca float. Their joy will not be lessened by knowing that the commissioner decision is approved. There is, how ever. one more opportunity for the ap- pellants to present evidence in rebut- tai if they choose to avail themselves of it, as set forth in the following ex- cerpt from the decision of the secre- tary of the interior which is a printed document of some seventeen pages:
 'The order remanding the case for a hearing before the surveyor general, if after notice appellants request the same, for the purpose of affording them an opportunity to present evil dence in rebuttal of the adverse prima facie showing, will not be disturbed. If they default in applying for hearing within sixty days from notice of this

DOCTOR ADVISED
 USE IF CUTICURA
After Other Treatment Failed
 Eczema in Raw Spot on Baby Boys Face Lasted for Months Cried with Pain when Washed.
ECZEMA WAS CURED AND
 HAS NEVER REAPPEARED

"Our baby boy broke out with eczema on his face when one month old. One place on the side of his face the size of a nickel was raw like beef steak for three months. and he would cry out when 1 bathed the parts that were sore and broken out. 1 gave him three months treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of CuticUra Soap, a third of a box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a bottle of Cuticura ResOlvent he was well and his face was as smooth as any baby's. He is now two years and a half old and no eczema has reappeared. I am still using the Cuticura Soap; think it is the finest toilet soap ever used. I keep my little girls hair and face cIeansed with it too. I am so thankful for what Cuticura has done for us. Mrs. NJ. l.. Harris. R. F. D. l, Alton, Kan, May II and June 12, '07."

learned that her mother and one brother died of leprosy. Her condition now is very serious. though her chief trouble is mental rather than with the leprosy which is not so far advanced as many have supposed. At times she is gloomy. sad and silent. and at other times she is frenzied and practically insane
 Her physical condition. however. is such that Unmistakabie signs of lep- rosy are in evidence Her hands are in the condition known as "leper claws" the fingers are contracting and are beginning to shorten. which is ev- idence of the beginning of bone de- struction and will be followed by lesions of a contagious nature. The following is quoted from the doctors report:
 While at present the condition is not alarming as to contagiousness or infection. vet the fear aroused by sen sational reports has created an alarm ing and eXcitabIe state of affairs in Tombstone. and the residents pray that something may be done toward changing the situation and providing suitable surroundings for the care of the patient

That a play as meritOriOus as Hazel Kirke" should draw the surprisingly small audience that it did last evening does not speak well for the taste of the people of this city. 'Tis true that it did look rather threatening the early part of the evening. and that may have had something to do with the small ness of the crowd. But notwithstand- ing this, it came far below what was expected. The RaymOnds deserve bet ter support and it's up to the people of Phoenix to give it to them if they wish to retain them.
 Hazel Kirke" is a play bound to ap- peal to that class of audiences which appreciate the true and natural sides of life and human nature. It is ad mirably acted and welp pstaged. MT. Whitaker here deviates from his GUS tom of playing the part of the youthful hero. and to do him justice scores heavily. As the father of Hazel he is seen in by far the best piece of work that he has done so far. Miss Pitt, as usual, did eXcellently. She seems to be at home in every part she under takes. Mir MacdoWell furnishes the comedy of the evening and is immense in the most ridiculously absurd part imaginable. His version of "PittacUs Green" is easily worth the price of ad- alone. There is a marked inn provement seen in Miss Benton with each succeeding performance. So long as she eliminates rdnting and does not employ a voice assumed for the Oc- casiOn she does well.

]. TYLER FRAZIER
FOR CONGRESS
Governor Tyler Favors Candi-
dacy of Well Known Con-
federate and Minister.

Governor Tyler is reported in the
papers as saying that he is not can
didate for Congress this fall from the
Ninth District, but is heartily in
favor of the nomination OF DR.. j.
Tyler Frazier for the place. The
Clinch Valelley News is much graft
fled that the suggestion OF his avail
ability, which was first made in its
columns, is meeting with approval.
We have heard no dissent expressed
from any source except from one Re
publican, and quite naturally the
party to which be belongs, does not
want Mr.. Frazier nominated. His
candidacy would meet the hearty ap-
proval OF the entire district, and it is
firmly 3elieved by all the knowing
ones, so far as heard from, that
he would poll larger vote than any
man in the district. One prominent
Democrat says, "a ticket with Tyler
Frazier at its head would be a win
ner, for sure.
The News Leader in a recent edi-
SOAi', ~NO" 4ol 1uo NlHIui says
that the Democrats Of the Ninth and
of the state should now line up, and
male this the battle ground OF the
next campaign. With Tyler Frazier
at the head OF the column a Demo-
cratic victory would be almost as.
sured, for no man in the district Is
more widely known or a more efrec-
tive speaker. Line up for DR.. J.
Tyler Frazier as a candidate for con-
gress FROM the Ninth.

A Strawberry Story.

Brother 7. A. Repass, of Cedar
Bluff, tells the following story: He
says that there has been the finest
crop of straw berrises in his section
ever known; that on last Moday 100
people passed over thebridge on their
way TO the strawberry fields ON the
farm of X. K. Gillepsie, and each
one returned with his vessel full to
the brim, which, upon an estiamte,
means not less than 100 or no
quarts, about 20 bushels of capped
berries. This is getting 'em some.
Mr. Repass wished it distinctly un-
derstood, however,that Emmett Scctt
did the counting, and the estimating.
We hand this story on as We 20:
1t. 1t is fact, that the crop, both
wild and tame, has been the largest
known here for years, and Emmett
Scott my be telling the truth.

Prohibitions Inspiration.

The sweeping victory OF the Pro-
hibitionists in North Carolina again
calls atteution to the volume and
momentum of the temperance wave
now sweeping over the country. How
TO account for this almost sudden and
somewhat spasmodic wave of reform
is not difficult, as we see ii. 1t lies
in this-not that the people have be-
come suddenly better but that the
saloons and the liquor business
generally, have become worse. Soci-
ally, morally and politically the
saloon business has become so corrupt
and defiant as TO excite the disgust
of the people, and determination TO
blot itOut. Tragedies and awful crimes
committed with mean liquor MS the
moving cause, still continue to fill
the land with horror, and the liquor
people showing apparently little or
no concern as 10 the results of their
traffic, has enra2ed the people, among
whom are many who are not total
abstainers even, and the determina-
ton has been formed 10 uproot the
evil, as far as possible. The saloon
and liquor associations are waking
up, and talking reform. Its too
late. They were warned long ago.
The warning was unheeded, and their
doom has been written and sealed.

Democracy VS.. PfutOcracy.
Omaha World-HeraId.

Omaha World Herald.
Grand words, bravely spoken The
Issue as Henry Watterson states il,
as Mr.. Brayn has already stated it.
II is already clearly defining itself
for the coming campaign.
The PIutocracy, or the Republic?
Government by the people, OF the
people and for the people, or govern
ment by close corporation OF the
Canuons, the Paynes, the Aldrichs,
the Allisons and the Burroughs in
the interest of greedy and arrogant
plutocracy?
The lines are drawing fast. Every
alleged Democratic" newspaper In
New York and throughout the
country, that is the lackey of plutoc-
racy, will bolt Mr.. Brayn the morn
ing after his nomination. The New
York World and The Times, the
Brooklyn Eagle, Pierpont Morgan s
Iarper's Weekly, will lead the van.
They will mbine to fight the battle
under the banner or Taft, and under
that same banner Will be found the
Belmonts, and the Rayns, either
openly or covertly, as we'll as the
Rockefellers, Moragns, Harrimals,
Goulds and Vanderbiits.
Jacob II. Schif, of Kuhn, Loeb
and Co., and leader OF one of the
powerful bankingand railroad groups
in Wall street, has already accepted,
with pleasure, the vice presidency
of the Taft organization in New York
State. Taft will make "safe"
President, says Mr.. Schiff. Within
few weeks every Wall street gam b.
ler and every Wall street gambling
and pilferiDg interest will folio W
him to the Taft camp. Many of them
have been there from the beginning,
including two or three of the mos:
representative Wall street financial
journals.
With all these interests and their
newspapers against him, Brayn will
be stronger than he would be with
their support. They will do him
more good by fighting him than they
can possibly do him harm. The
harder they fight him the more
money they spend to defeat him the
more certain will be his election. Fol
the country has awakened since 1896
and is not again to be bribed, or buI.
lied, or bamboozled, by the oragnizeC
plutocracy.
The followers of Mr.. Bryan, Re
publicahs as well as Democrats-fo
he will include among his supporter,
this year more Republicans than eve
before-welcome this issue, and will
go into the contest not only will
clean conscierces, but with higl
spirits and hopeful hearts.

Week To Elect Dlegates to

State Convention next Thursday will
De- from all indications one of the
most enthusiastic i'm the history OF
the State. 1t will be the first State
convention held under the new con-
Stttution, and that there will he
much speaking and oratory ON the
occasion is confidently expected.
Already ii has been determined that
the convention will last through the
best part of three days, allowing the
boys ample time and opportunity to
speak their pieces. The leading
Democrats and officials OF the State.
including Senators and Congressman
from Washington, and perhaps other
cities, VIII be present, and an old
Time convention will result.
The convention will retain the nri-
mary system OF nominating candi-
dates for Office, with some modiflca-
tion and amendments. Senators Dan-
iel and Martin, Governor Swanson
and Governor Tyler will. be elected
delegates-at-large 10 Denver. and
Samuel w. Williams, candidate for
Attorney-General OF the State, will
be one of the electors-at-large. These.
ana other minor matters seem In
nave been generally argeed upon, but
the program thus indicated by some
oi the leading pap ers, may be torn
To pieces and changed ON the floor OF
the convention. AS TO instructing for
bry"n there seems TO be little or no
doubt. Nearly every county delega-
tion To Roanoke has been instructed
Tor the distinguished Ne
braskan, and the Roanoke convention
composed OF these delegates, can
hardly fail To do likewise.

Will Improve the System.

w. Il. Hawley, general manager
of the Bluefeld Telephone Exchange
and Mr.. Henley, the general SUPER
intendent, spent several days i'm
town and in Burke's Garden this
week in the interest OF an extension
OF the line in the county. Connec-
ton with Burke's Garden direct Is
badly wanted by both Burke's Gar
den and the town, and II thought an
arrangement will be made by which
this connection can be had in the
near future. The company proposes
To give all the people good service
at the late OF about 0Oc per month,
provided the farmers will put up the
poles and wires, which they can do
at little cost. This work would cost
the company a considerable sum,
which would, of course, increase the
cost OF the service TO the patrons.
This seems to be IA solution of the
problem.
A phone in every home in the
county, or at least nearly every one,
Is thing to be desired as much or
more by the people who have phones
as by the company. Every business
house and home which has no phone
discounts every phone which is in
operation just to that extent. The
greater the number of phones the
cheaper the rate, and at the same
time the more they are worth to each
phone holder. 1t is to be hoped that
the day is not far off when very
family in the county will Oe con-
nected with every other family and
with every business house in town
The only wrong, as many see it, in
connection with our present system
is that while we are paying regular
rates, and what seems to be reason
ably high, we are charged for mes
sages to and from Graham and Poca-
honntas, in this county. This may
be only an apparent, and not real
injustice. However, the service is a
good one and will be better when we
can reach every part ON the county,
and people are geDestIly willing TO
pay for what they get.
