ARE
 WINNING THE VOTES
lFrom Thursdays Daily)

All reports indicate that the Repub ! lican county candidates in their itin erary thus far are creating enthusiasm for the ticket wherever they have ap. peared. The people of Yavapai coun- ty are laying aside partisan feeling, and are picking the men for whor: they intend to vote. upon the basis of their qualifications. The Republicans set high standard two years ago and as result, seven men were elected. and have given the best adminis,ra- ton of public affairs in the history of the county. This year. the ticket is equally strong. if not even better, for some of the nominees have already demonstrated their fitness for the re spective offices which they hold, and they are certain to be endorsed by fse people at the polls.
 All along the route, the candidates are being greeted enthusiastically. Al Ash Fork last week e persons attend ed the meeting, when two years before there were only l2 turned out Al Sc ligman on the next night, there wcro 42 persons at the meeting, and the majority of them later declared that they would support the Republican ticket. Cameron and Jim Smith are especially strong at these points, and are certain Co come out with big ma iorities. At the meeting at William.
 son valley on Saturday night, every
 voter in the district except three were
 present, and they gave the visitors a
 most cordial welcome, coupled with as
 surances of support on election day.
 Housing meetings were held at Kirk
 land and Skull Valley, and especially
 at the latter place, where Jos. Ehls
 wno was turned down by the Demo
 cratic convention for supervisor, ha'

 The significant feature of the pres ent campaign is the intense interes that is being taken by the voters II

suLPHIDE STRIKES
 OFTEN IN OLD DOMINION

GLOBE, Oct. H.-Another impor. tant strike of sulphide ore has been made in the old Dominion mine.
 The Saturday nigh night in the crosscut in block 2, on the lith level, broke into the slphide vein, and the ore IS said to he nigh grade. The To. cation of the crosscut in block is about under the old smclter site. not over 3jO feet from Pinal creek.
 The continuity of the sulphidc vein on the lith level is remarkable. The first important discovery of ore on that level was made early last year in block 9, where the cTosscut penetrated eighty feet of sulphide averaging 10 per cent and some of it going as high as 70 per cent copper. In the develop ment of the vein toward the west , number of erosscuts have been driven into tne ore, the crosseut in block ( at last accounts being in ore sixty feet. The lode has also been develop ed by cros-cuts and drifts for n con siderable distance east of block 9.
 The significance of tho latest strike in block 2 is in its nearness to the creek, which strengthens the opinion that the vein will be found to extend under and beyond the creek, and that important ore bodies win he developed Na. l.s
 now being sunk there.
 Helvetia has commenced shipments
 of sulphide ores ,o the Old Dominion
 smelters.
 This important news was brought to
 Tucson by arrivals from the copper camp 10 the south of Tucson. Tho m.
 formation is decidedly gratifying a' ! with steady market for it's ores, thre Is every probability that Helvetia will add to its wrking force.
 With the failure of the reyerberato , ry furnace Co give the results expect
 ed, the Helvetia company decided tc } look about for a market for It's ore, [ In outside smelter An arrangement ! was entered into with the old Domin . lon Company by which sulpaids orei , from the lIelvetia mine, containing 2 sulphur and iron will be shipped t' c Globe to aid in smsltiug the Globe f ores.
 The shipments from IielyetiA vii D approximate 100 tons daily. Tho or' ' Is freighted to Vails station by wagoi
 and taken from there over Inc South z ern Pacific to Bowie and thence owe

fiendish imagination must have prompted such a torture. During this scene, a little Chinese girl in the court room, laughing and prattling, wit messed it unmoved. She was the daughter of the iailer and presumably hardened to such things.
 Pirates are frequently brought in from the interior, chained together by rings fastened through each man s collarbone, and sometimes prisoners who are being carried from one place to another are hamstrung, to prevent any possibility of their escaping.
 The most dreadful of all executions in China is the ling chee or hundred cuts, where the condemned man is given 99 cuts on different parts of the body, contrived with such devilish cunning that death does not come until the last cut, reaching the heart, puts them out of their agony.
 This execution is only administered for three crimes; attempted assassina- ton of the emperor or empress. the killing of father or mother or the kill ing of husband by wife. The killing of wife by husband is not so seri- ous a matter.
 Another method of execution De- culiar to the Chinese is to put a man in wicker cage that is fitted closely about his neck, his head appearing through a hole in the top. He stands on several bricks, and each day brick is taken from under his feet. let ting his weight be more and more sus- pended from his neck. He is given nothing to eat or drink, so besides perishing from hunger and thirst he is slowly choked to death. No man can endure this dreadful combination longer than three or four days at the outside
 In China a man must sign bis own death warrant by mixing his thumb and making the impression of it on the paper Chinese law, when once it has man in its clutches, is loath to give him up whether he be innocent or guilty. So if he does not sign the war. rant willingly he is tortured until he does it in sheer desperation.
 Political prisoners, who are sen tenced to banishment, seldom reach the place of their destination, for after such sentence there is almost always

court, where desk was placed. be- hind which the assistant magistrate sat.
 The prisoners are brought out, and stand at one side, waiting their turn. The magistrate calls a name, Wan Hua, for instance, and a prisoner steps out. The magistrate gabbles off Chinese tumble of words that mean, You, Wan Hua, are convicted of steal ing a coat and three quilts from Mrs Ho Soy and are sentenced to 2O0 strokes with the bamboo" Then he proceeds with his reading and writing and pays no more attention.
 The prisoner throws himself on a piece of mating laid on the top step leading to the magistrates desk, his trousers are pushed down, exposing his thighs, and two men in ridiculous red sugar-loaf hats trimmed with blue, seat themselves on the prisoners feet and shoulders, the latter one clutching his cue
 Two men with little flat bamboo rods about yard long squat each side, when one begins and delivers about 25 lashes-then rests, and the other takes it up, counting aloud as they beat. The prisoner howls and cries and begs, tears streaming from his eyes, for though it does not break the skin, it is extremely painful.
 The men sitting on the prisoner joke and laugh, the officers standing about carry on animated conversations, and as this all takes place in courtyard, open to the street, children run in and out, playing and laughing, mothers with babies in their arms look stolidly on. the babies blinking solemnly while a little crowd of curious men stand about the entrance.
 
 The mixed court. being jointly un- der the jurisdiction of foreigners, is necessarily more merciful and lenient than an unmixed Chinese court.
 A gentleman told me of witnessing a courtroom scene in the interior of China, where man who refused to confess was struck on the ankle bone with a mallet until he tainted from the hideous pain-the bone being crushed to jelly.
 Anyone who has had an argument with a rocking-char in the dark, and received even a slight blow on the ankle bone, can appreciate what a

 l was introduced to the magistrate by Dr. Barchet, and found him very gracious, and possessing a fair supply of English. He was dressed in full mandarin dress, brown satin coat, beautifully embroidered, and a black velvet ha% turned up about the edge, and decorated with the button, the horse-tail and the peacock S feathers that indicate a mandarin's rank.
 We went into the courtroom, everyone quickly took their places and the hearings began. All prisoners when brought before the magistrate must kneel during the entire proceed ing
 Though all the prisoners were Chi nese, and the cases were conducted in that language, l could follow most of them, as the English sergeants pre- ferred their charges to Dr. Burchet, who is a proficient Chinese scholar, and he in turn translated them to the magistrate.
 When policeman brings a man be- fore the court he drives him by his cue, and when he takes him away, he pulls him by it, or if there are several prisoners, he knots their cues together and pulls them

 For thieving, prisoners are sen fenced to certain number of strokes with the bamboo, or the cangue for so many hours a day-sometimes both together.
 The cangue is large square board that fits about their necks, and be- sides being very heavy and uncom- fortable, is considered a great. dis grace, for it has the prisoners name and crime pasted on it. In order to make the punishment more severe, the prisoner is often condemned to be taken to the place where the crime was committed, and made to stand near the store or house where the na-

HOW HE SHOT THEM.

 Where His Birds Were Hit.

Down in Florida, where I spend the greater part of the winter" said the sunburned New Yorker, they are not so particular about observing the game laws and the little niceties of hunting as we are up north. 1 had frequently seen water fowl shot with out giving them a chance to rise. Com. ing up to Jacksonville a big German got on the train at Port Orange with 8 nice string of duck He sat next me in the smoker and I struck up a con- versation with him.
 "'Nice lot of ducks you have there I said
 Yah he replied.
 Where did you get them?' asked.

Several months ago, my little boy began to break out with itching sores. l doctored him, but as soon as I got them healed up in one place they would break out in another. I was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. Then l began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti- cura Ointment, and after using them three tines, the sores commenced to heal. He is now we'll and not a scar is left on his body. They have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuticura Reme- dies are the best 1 have ever tried, and l shall highly recommend them to any one who is suffering likewise. Mrs. William Geeding, 102 Washing ton St., Attica, Ind, July 22, 1907."

tended by torture and pain before the end finally comes. Even in the simple and less painful bambooing, bribe will induce the whipper to hold the bamboo stiff, causing much less pain than if allowed to bend and spring The captain of British barque lying off Canton described the execution oi 29 pirates who had attacked a tug manned by coolies and slaughtered the greater part of them. As all execu tions are free to the public there was a general request by the crew of the being granted by the captain, there was a general exodus to the shore.
 It appeared that only those of the criminals who could not purchase ran som were executed. Those who hac $50, or friends that could supply that sum, were liberated on payment of the same to the mandarin of the district The luckless 20 had apparently neith CT friends nor money. So they were marshaled out of prison under 6 strong guard of soldiers; and. like the prisoners in our Sing Sing who are al lowed for their last meal the best that the prison cuisine affords, these male factors were furnished any mode oi conveyance at the disposal of the au thorities to convey them to the place of execution.
 The condemned were marshaled in line, and required to kneel on al fours" before the mandarin and his suite. All knew the procedure. and there was no confusion. The heads man, armed with a keen, broad bladed sword, stepped out If this gentleman should fail to sever the head of his victim in three blows, his own would pe forfeit. But in this instance he did his work with both certainty and ce lerity. Approaching the first in line he gave swift. swinging blow on the back of the neck and a decapitated head rolled onto the sword.
 This dreadful system of bribery and squeezing is the canker at the heart of China. Everyone expects it from everyone else; even the children are not to be trusted. A Chinese woman sends her child to a chow shop and weighs the food when it is brought home to see that her own child Is not squeezing" her.
 In making change, the smallest boy. az salesman, will keep back two or three cash" Should you say: How fash ion you steal my cash? You blona alice same as t'ief," he will indignant ly answer: My no blong t'ief, my ketchie you watch, then blong lief but my just make little squeeze"
 It would seem as if all the horrible punishments so publicly administered would effectually prevent even the most reckless and hardened from committing crime, but 1t doesn't seem to do SO, and the courts go on flourish. ing OH the bribes extorted and the money paid by innocent people to keep out of court, for it is openly averred that a Chinese court of ius uce, among other delinquencies, is not even sbove blackmail.
