COTTON PLANTERS MEET.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Jan. What is
probably the largest and most repre-
sentative gathering of cotton planters
ever held assembled in this city To-
day at the opening of the annual
meeting of the National Farmers Ed
ucational and Cooperative union.
The delegates present at the opening
numbered several thousand and rep
resented eyry state Of the south, from
Virginia to Texas and from Missouri
to Florida. The states particularly
well represented were Arkansas, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Tex
as.
Much important business is 10 be
transacted at the meeting and it will
probably be the end of the week De
fore the sessions end. Reports are
to be received showing the growth
and progress of the cooperative
movement among the farmers. These
reports are of most gratifying char
acter, showing that in some states
more than seventy-fve per cent Of
the planters are actively interested in
the work of the organization.
The chief business of the conven-
ton, however, will be to decide upon
plans for reducing the cotton acreage
and taking other steps calculated to
keep down the production to a level
that will enable the organization TO
maintain in the future a 15-cent price.
Reports will be presented showing
that in some states the farmers have
already arranged to engage in di-
versification of crops to a greater ex-
tent than ever before. With the aid
of numerous cooperative warehouses
already established the union leaders
are confident that the campaign for
lucent cotton viii be successful.

DEMEHTED MINER
Lost IN HILLS
Leaves Camp January 1st and
Is Found Unconscious
With Feet Frozen.

GLOBE, Jan. 7.--Wiliam Kissell, a
well known miner OF this district, is
at the Old Dominion hospital with his
feet badly frozen and his mind tenn
pararily deranged. It was thought at
first that ais feet would have to be
amputated, but DR.. Kennedy, who 10
attending him, stated last evening
that such an operation would not be
necessary.
Kissell had until recently been en-
ployed at the Gibson mine and several
weeks ago he and another miner went
out In the hills between tine Gibson
and the Schulz properties to do the
annual WORK on some claims they
owned in partnership. On the morn
ing of New Years day, Kssell dis
appeared from camp, leaving his
shoes and mis- heavy outer clothing
behind. He had evidently gone in
sane during the night, and taken to
the hills. Word was sent to the city
and a search was begun. At noon on
the following day Kissell was found
lying unconscious near the top Of the
mountains several mics from his
camp. He was brought to town
Thursday afternoon and Immediately
sent to the hospital. Kissell Is
member of the Odd Fellows and has
many friends here. No reason can
be assigned for his sudden derange-
ment. which is thought 70 be tempo

The antirrhinum, or snapdragon, is
one of the old fashioned garden flow
ers known by every one. Although It
is visitor from southern Europe. it
has been here so long that it has be-
come naturalized When we say
lions mouth" frogs mouth" "calf's
mouth" rabbits mouth" we mean
snapdragon, all these names being sug-
gested by its grotesque ,masklike corol-
Ia But there is something still more,
grotesque If we will wait till the seed
time and gather the dried, brownI
skeleton Of the seed pod Look att
them sideways. under a bright lamp
light If possible. and you will find they
have quite a resemblance to a rhinoc-'
eros. Remove the calyx and the lit
tie horns on the nose and look at them
from the front, and they have a still,
more rstriking resemblance to humanI
skulls, and by turning them about you
get ali sorts Of queer expressions on

What words were said, what appeal
he may have made for mercy, may
never be known
That Daggs was not killed at the
first attack appears to be definitely
established. Probably he was ait and
mortally Z. wounded by a charge OF
buckshot and left lying while Hunter
was slain, the men returning after
ward and killing him with a bullet
through the brain.
Undertaken George DiscolI, who
went to- Superior to prepare the
bodies. stated this morning that there
was no sympathy in Superior for
either Bob Stewart or Ed Fondren,
and that never at any time was there
any indication that they had any
friends who would attempt to take
them from Sheriff MCGEE.
In Superior the miners and pros
pectors condemned the deed in strong
terms, They were willing 10 assist
in taking the men to Florence, where
they nave, been bound over to the
grand jury
This afternoon Drs. Wylie and

on the body Of his brother for legal
purposes.

the belief that the new man had not

case. The letters from the new man
stated that the company was glad to
hear of the improvements made, and
that they would have a representative
in this district very soon who would
call and make an investigation and
that the company would await his in
formation. The mayor advised the

rival of the representative and if ne

he thought he would take the matter

mer manager.
The sum of $25 month was allowed
each Of the two volunteer fire compan-
les in Douglas for their monthly smok-
ers and social entertainments and for
the reimbursement of losses incurred by
firemen attending and fighting fires. In
making this allowance the council stip-
ulated that the membership in each
company should be limited to twenty
members and that every man in boil
companies while attending fires SHALL

PHOENIX, Jan. las further de-
tails of the staying of A. J. Daggs and

the two men were shot down In cold

now that the perpetrators were sur

and that they left Daggs seriously

Daggs.

COUNTY EXPENSES
LARGELY INCREASED
Cost of Running Cochise Is
$4,000 Greater Than
Year Before.
Especial to Review.)


TOMBSTONE, Jan. IA review of
the annual report OF Clerk Berner Of
the Board OF Supervisors which has
Just been completed, shows that the
expenses of running the county gov
eminent from the first of October,
1906, to January /. 1908, was $780,
1920. This amount does not show all
OF the expense of the last quarter OF
the past year. as the claims for that
quarter are just being filed with the
Board of Supervisors. This amount
will not exceed $4,000, so that the
amount of the four quarters OF 1907,
as compared with 1906. for a similar
period shows the expense OF the
county has increased over $135, 900,
which on its face looks large, but the
expense has been divided into all
parts of the county government. The
legislature passed bills which In
creased the salaries OF a number OF
the officers and the expense in this
direction amounted to considerable;
but the largest increase was In the
expenses of the justice courts and in
the maintenance of the public
schools.
A comparison of the recapitulation
of the years 1906 and 1907 shows
where the increased expense has been.
and is of interest to the citizens and
taxpayers of the county. it is as fol-
lows.

IMPORTANT SESSION OF
DOUGLAS CITY COUNCIL

DOUGLAS, Jan. f-(Special.l
The city council at its meeting las.
evening took steps toward collecting
the delinquent taxes, amounting to
$1643.S3, by ordering the marshal to
proceed to bring suits in each case
according to law.
The new law under which the delin-
quent taxes are to be collected is said
TO be very much more rigorous and
severe than was the former law The
new process, the city attorney said,
is much the same as the foreclosing
of q mortgage, and is identically the
same process by which the county has
always proceeded The difference in
the new law which makes it more Sc
we're than the old, is the fact that once
the hammer comes down on the sale
of said property, it is gone beyond re-
demptien by the former owner. There
is. now ne six months. as there was
formerly, during which time the prop
erty can be redeemed. He said, how
ever, that the law did provide that
even after the marshal had been in
structed to bring suit by the city coun-
Gil the property owner might retain
his property by payment of the amount
due, and that ne had this privilege up
until the time the sale actually took
place, or the hammer went down. a
long list of the names of Douglas citi-
gems who are delinquent and likely to
lose their property holdings, stating
the amount unpaid and the description
OF the lot. was submitted by toe mar
shaI, but the list was accepted by the
council without being read, owing to
its great length. A resolution was then
passed ordering the marshal to pro-
coed to collect according to law. This
was followed by a resolution ordering
the refunding of the penalty paid by
mistake by the delinquents so far,
which amounts to about 81 in each
case. A motion then passed ordering
the payment of TIL. sum of $3.50 to
Marshal Stambaugh for his work in
collecting the taxes, the burden OF
which all falls on his shoulders
Preparatory to the reading Of let
ter inst received from the Pacific
Board of Fire Underwriters, Mayor
Adamson had. the previous correspond
ence read. One Of the letters was from
the manager Of the company in reply
to a letter from the mayor requesting
FIAT Douglas be placed on the first
az protected cities to decrease the cost,
OF FIRE insurance. The letter in reply
from the manager Of the company
stated that If the city OF Douglas would
make certain changes involving the en-
larging of the G avenue water main,
and other connections about town. and
eouipping Of its department with y
steamer and new team of horses, Il
would without question Of doubf be
nlaced Immediately on the list Of pro
tected cities. The city OF Douglas has
Already done all that was outlined and
more. Mayor Adamspn wrote the

them that an conditions had been com
nIied with carefully and received an
answer to his letter few days ago. u
seens that q new manager has been
