SMALL POX SEEMS TO
HAVE BEEHCOATROLLED
No New Cases Of Disease Re-
ported During the Past
Ten Days,

During the past ten days no rev
cases of small pox have been report
ed in the city, and it is beginning to
look as If the recent outbreak of t1e
disease had about been checked.
With the exception of Four pa
tents. two men and two women at
the pest camp above the Spray shaft
on the hills, every one who has suf
fered from the disease in the city
has been released from quarantine.
Those patients WHO are still under
guard and isolated >~are all doing
very nicely, and It is probable that
they win be released within ten
days.
Practically all of the children in
the local schools have been vacci-
mated b. the physicians, as wen as
the children Of Lowell. A large per-
centage of the adult population has
also submitted to the treatment

BAPTISTS TO
GIVE BIG BARBECUE
Rev, Bell Says There Viii Be
No 'PoSSum4 But Then
Come Anyway,

A grand barbecue, at which it is
authoritatively announced there will
be no possums, is being planned by
the Rev. Bell, pastor of the First Bap-
list church Tor colored people in
Bisbee. Rev. Bell thinks the barbe-
cue will be held between March Il
and Is.
Rev. Bell, himself, is authority for
the statement that there will be no
possum. Some time ago Rev. Bell
announced possum barbecue. The
day before the barbecue Rev.. Bel
was exhibiting a live possum, which
he had in a gunny sack and almost
everyone in town had an opportunity
to see It.
But woe to those whose mouths
were watering for taste Of possum
on the day the big barbecue was an
Rounced to come of. Rev. Bell was
one OF the most disappointment and
with tears in his eyes he explained
to his following that the train on
which the possoms for the barbecue
were shipped was wrecked and
their possum forever lost.
And the possum in the gunay
sack-but that's another story.
Rev. Bell has at last succeeded in
getting a home for his congregation.
A lot and a residence Or chihuahua
hill has been purchased AMI the
house will be remodefed into a
church. Rev. Bell and the congre-
cation only recently paid on the
mortgage on the house.
A beef will probably be killed at
the barbecue to be held in March.

CRUSADE IS ON
+. AGAINST SONS OF REST
Police Determined To Rid City
of Element That Does
Nothing,

Because of the crusade which is
being made against tramps and sa-
loon hangerson in all portions of
the southwest at the present time,
quite q large number OF these "un-
| desirable citizens" have found their
way into Bisbee, hoping that they
will be able to make a living here
on the generosity of the public, by
doing nothing. That the hopes of
this element are to be shattered is
apparent from the vigorous meas
ures being adopted by the local pc.
lice.
Ever since the financial depression
set in there have been many men out
of work through no fault of their
own, who are worthy of assistance,
but at the same time there are also
a great many "sons of rest who
have taken advantage OF the situa-
ton to pose as honest workmen in
hard circumstances, and thereby OBJ
tain assistance.
This element has infested Los
Angeles and other cities of Southern
California, as well as Phoenix and
Tucson in Arizona, because of the
mildness OF the climate. Their pres
ence has resulted in numerous burg
Iaries, hold-ups and other crimes and
the police in all section have be-
come aroused.
Up until a short time ago Bisbee
was spared the scourge of these peo-
pies presence, but lately large
number of them have arrived in the
district and have generally made
their headquarters sleeping In the
different saloons at night. The
officers have warned a number Of
them at different times, but without
It's doing any good, and they are ~
determined to elect them to member

on the county roads daily, unless
they either go TO work or leave the

Rally at Watertown.

Watertown was awakened to the issues of the day for the first time in many years when the democrats Of that place gave big rally up there last night. It was the first democrat ic rally that had been held there in many years and naturally the old town was stirred up as 1t never has been before. There was big torch light procession, the first one since 1892. The Thomaston band was on hand to head the parade. The speak CTS of the evening came up on the trolley from Waterbury and were met at the terminus of the road. All along the line of march red fire was burned and the republicans must have foreseen a democratic victory, from the enthusiasm that was creat- ed. The hall was crowded with spec tators. The speakers of the evening were Congressman E. s. Byrd of Vir- ginia, Lynn w. Wilson of Bridgeport and Attorney Francis P. GuiRoile of Waterbury. The latter made the hit of the night in his address and awoke the democrats and republicans present to great enthusiasm. He bored holes through some of George L. Lilley's armor and didn't mince matters in the telling of his story
 He referred particularly to the whine that Lilley was making because he
 was not appointed on the committed in Washington to investigate the sub- marine matter. He called on those present to know the fact that Lilley
 did just the same thing in Hartford himself, when he had chance tc name Mir Guilfoile on a committee
 This remark brought the people tc their feet with more enthusiasm. E P. McGowan presided at the meeting

AM Parties Tickets on Machines

All Parties Tickets on Machines
 The socialist ticket will be on the voting machine on election day, and It's management expects to make good showing in the contest. There is no trouble between MT Buttomer and Mr Babin and Town Clerk Brett regarding the interpretation Of the law, or If there were, 1t has been ad- jnsted in an amicable manner and Mir BabIn, MT. Buttomer and others interested in the socialist ticket have nothing but words of praise for the satisfactory and eminently fair treat ment which they have received from the town clerk and other city ofi- cials. Mir Brett said this afternoon that the candidates of all parties are now on the machine. In cases where nobody filed lists of candidates MT Brett hunted around and found them himself, 90 that the man who cannot find a ticket to suit him Tuesday must be a peculiar sort of fellow.

On the Same Track

Greek met Greek in the south end last evening when Jack" Mcdonald and Town Clerk Brett walked into a place where M. J. Byrne the repub- lican candidate for judge of probate was regaling some of the boys of the vicinity. Jack" was asked for a speech in what honestly might for the time being be called the enemies s house, and Jack" preferred to hold his peace. But afterwards when MT Byrne and his friends had departed it transpired that MT Byrne was Mir Brett's most vigorous foe when Mir Brett ran for the legislature some years ago. And then 1t would have surprised the average republican to see the change that came over the audience. It was plain that MT Byrne and his friend had lost their time in that neighborhood.

LilIey's Latest Pictures

Mir Lilley's latest issue of litera- ture shows what pretends to be a room in a shop and under the pie lures is lot of stuff pertaining to an employers liability bill. On the other side of the paper is a picture supposed to depict a man in the stages of tuberculosis and under that is another lot of stun about the great white plague. To read this literature one would think that alt that is necessary to stop the pro- gress of the great white plague and to enact an employers liability bill is to elect Mir Liliey governor. The fact is that an employers liability bill comes up at every general as- sembly e sure co the assembly con- venes and is turned down by the re- publIeans. There is already Ia Wal

Bryan in New York

A Waterbury man who heard Bryan talk in New York this week says he is wonder. He thought one of the best hits he made was when he said he was running against two men. Roosevelt and Taft. For the first time in the history of the country, the president got down into the political pit and was using the influence of his office for political ends. He also called attention to the fact that people said when he was running before that If the democrats got control of the white house we would have a panic. and added that the democrats didn't get there, but we had the panic all the same.

Dealer Charges They Smother conps-

 Washington. Oct. 31.- Charges sgninst the railroads carrying anthra- cite coal from Pennsylvania into the state of New York are made in a pe tition filed with the interstate com merce commission by Jay NJ. Ballou of Cortland. \. l., against the Della ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail- road company.
 The serious phase of the complaint is contained in the allegation that throughout the state of New York the wholesaling of anthracite coal is regulated by railroad companies en- gagged in transporting coal from the state of Pennsylvania. and the traffic therein is so restricted as to prevent the reduction of prices by competi- ton and that one of the means of bringing about such regulation and maintenanee of higher prices is by limiting the number of persons Co whom such coal will be supplied"

 Mir. Kerr had been identified with the timber and coal interests of Penn sylvanis and was president and di- rector of number of coal mining companies.

A Friend in Need

When Waterbury was burning np Judge Robertson and his associates put the entire railroad at the ser vice of the city and didn't charge copper for it. Come now, MT Lilley, no joshing, what did you do to help out on that occasion? You need the railroad in your business as bad ly as anybody else, but because you think 1t a popular shibboleth you are going up and down the valley tryins to make the working people look up- on 1t as menace to good govern ment. Isn't 1t a fact. MT Lilley, that the factories and stores and the public generally want good railroad service, and men who put their mon ey into it should be encouraged in- stead of kicked. You say the fares are too high. Perhaps this is so, but If Judge Robertson cared to speak on that question maybe he could say, and truthfully, too, that he isn't any more to blame for that no half as much as your are for the outrageously high price of meat. The proper way to look at this thing IS to take the records of the two can didates and their parties and never mind the other things. Since the opening of the campaign not a word has been uttered against the charac- ter of the democratic candidate for governor, and 1t is safe to predict that if anything could be trumped up against him We would have heard of it before this hour of the day. Robertson is all right and as result Lilley and his henchmen, resourceful as they are, haven't been able to point out one dishonorable act in his public or private life.

Mir Fox says he understands that the republican candidate will answer the questions to-day. He has also offered to de- bate in public with Mir Lilley on ths issues raised in the inquiry. MT Fox says he Is willing to debate in New Haven, Hartford, Waterbury or Bridgeport, twice on Sunday. if neces- sary. Furthermore. Mir Fox declares that if he discovers any signs of cor rupt practices in the elections he will do his best to have the election court set up to try the evidence. On this latter question he says he will ad- dress himself to A. Heaton Robert son, the anti-Lilley republicans or any citizen of Connecticut, high or low"

Lilley Talking for Politics

Nobody should take any stock in what George Lilley says about the trolley company or other corpora- tions. When the mayor and tho board of aldermen petitioned the legislature for permission to engage in the business of manufacturing electricity, the trolley company got busy right away and squelched the proposition in Hartford. Now, Mir Lilley, you were beautifully silent at that time. and so long as you failed to lend a hand when you could have helped it is hard to see what good you think you can accomplish by be- rating the trolley at this time.
