THE ROUSE REGION.
A Recent Strike in the Francis and
 Other Groups.

Rouse. AriZ., April l1.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican)| have just returned from trip to Mex leo where I have been for the past ten days looking after my interests there in the Magdalena mining district. found nothing in Mexico to compare with our camp of Bouse. On my re- turn here yesterday I was agreeably surprised to find that the men I had left here working on the Francis group of claims had uncovered a new vein that shows free gold in the entire width of three feet and some of the samples taken from the strike will run into the thousands It is the richest strike that has been made in this part of the country. The men had also un- covered this same vein in another place about 200 feet from the first strike. showing two feet of free gold and very rich copper ore along with the gold. l also found that the force of men I had working on ihe Paradise group had obtained q depth of forty feet and the ore coming out of the bottom of the shaft is showing n great deal of free gold and considerable cop per. This property has been incorpor- ated and the shaft will be continued until the water level is reached where we expect to encounter the sulphide zone and then run crosscuts to inter- sect the big Trachite dyke that lies to the south of the shaft and which shows such large copper croppings on the surface.
 The force of men working on the J. c. D. No. D continue to take out about two ton Of ore per day of about a $40.00 grade and the pay streak seems to widen as depth is obtained This is one of the De Spain properties recently purchased by Denton & Ottis.
 There have been several small deals made in the last few days. G. NJ. Ottis of Los Angeles and a party of capitalists are expected to arrive in Bouse about the 18th, coming by the way of Needles thence by boat to Parker and over the A. & C. to Rouse

There is now predicted the striking possibility of a hOrseless and flyless New York. and the spectacle may soon be presented here of real war in which the deaths will run into unnumbered billions, for the greatest city in the country is likely to begin a systematic attack on the common house fly. The movement will not be undertaken for the relief of persons with less than the ordinary endowment of hair. It will assume mach more serious aspect, for the city. which has long regarded the fly as an annoyance, has now been brought to the realization that it is a menace greater than an invading army. A report just made at the in stance Of the Merchants Association, reveals the surprising fact that the house fly in New York alone, exacts a daily toll of nearly 10000 human lives annually. As a spreader of dis ease the fl is now held to be far more dangerous than the mosquito. on whom scientific warfare is already being widely waged. The campaign for fly extermination, if one is under taken, will be of necessity on q tre- mendOus scale. While a fly census is out of the question 1t is estimated that the city in summer contains more than one thousand million flies, of which during the season each female brings forth about 1.000.0 eggs. Fur thermore, the fly has q powerful ally in the horse of which there are now 10000 in Greater New York accord ing to figures presented in the May number of Appleton's. In the whole country there are at present 3.110, ,000, 7s9 horses and mules and it is point ed ont that wherever the.- are found flies flourish most numerously. In this city alone the annual expense caused by the presence of the horse on the streets is more than S1S,000.0 900. the Appleton writer believes it will be necessary to banish the quadruped before the insect can be eXterminated. If such proves to be the case Father KnickerbOcker will find himself with a very good sized job indeed on his hands.

in sailing vessels, before the advent of steam driven ships. were awakened this week by the record breaking ar rival of the Pruessen, the largest sail ing vessel of its class in the world. A few trans-Atlantic liners it is true. average about twenty knots to the hour There haze been ships with more masts which have recently en- tered New York harbor, but none in the class of the Pruessen whose pc euliarity lies in the fact that she, is square rigged and has no auxiliary engine. No other ship of this class has entered the harbor in ~ears. The record breaking vessel has 43 sepa- rate sails in all, not counting spar sails. with a spread of over 60,000 square feet of canvas. The length of the lower :'ard of this mammoth wis sel $ l02 feet, while her main royal yard is 30 feet long. Her masts are three feet in thickness at the deck and a total of 56.625 feet or nearly eleven miles of rope has been used in the rigging. Of the six anchors the larg- est weighs more than four tons. The ship IS 43S feet long and 56 feet in breadth with a tonnage of more than l1.00O Altogether the Pruessen is a mammoth of her class such as has never been seen here before and q rare reminder of the days of the clip per ship when sail driven vessels thronged New York's harbor.
 The number or pushcarts. that is the movable stores on wheels. from which every kind of merchandise is sold in New York. now exceeds the surprising total of 5000. The goods disposed oi from them each year are valued at s25.000,000. Indeed the eitg's itinerant pushcart merchants do annually a greater business than many a thriving town. while their number exceeds the population of any of more than two thirds of the towns and cities of the country. The lower east side. with 5109 of these pushcarts peculiar to the newly arrived merchant of foreign eX traction, leads all the rest, and its showing in this line would if all the pushcarts were placed end to end eX tend more than ten miles. The busi- ness of supplying these movable coun- ters employs more than 2000 men in five large factories and has a gross revenue of more than $2.00O,00O annaul- ly, The pushcart is apparently peculiar to New York. In its simplest form, that of a flat tray on wheels, it costs about twenty dollars, but it has been developed to the point where the most elaborate specimens cost from $500 to sl000 The annual return to the city on these movable stores in the form n FtavaS axcaadS S15 OOO so that alto gether this unique form of business is one of large financial proportions.

Hit COST OF CRIME
 IN GRtATfR NEW YORK
Prevention Cost City S125000,00o Annually.


 New York, April l2.-(Special cor respondence of The Republican)-The annual crime .bil ;n New York Is rap idly assuming such gigantic propor- tions that il will soon be equivalent to not only the interest on the national debt, but also to a substantial annual payment on the principal. Last year crime and its results cost Father Knickerbocker just $35.562, 13S24. This sum, could it be devoted to the con struction of new subways for which the city is so vainly clamoring, would build one Of these underground lines of travel every year. clean all of the streets. pay the salaries of all the city officials and leave about $4,0O0,O00 in addition for the support of hospi- tals. In addition to this vast sum. S42.605.473 was spent in the greater city for the detection. punishment and prevention of crime. Crime dur ing the past year exacted- also $424 lS0 for the maintenance of the district at torney's office and slS.S49.S4l for the police department Throughout the whole country more than 30O.000 in mates of almshouses. asylums. reform atories and similar institutions cost the country more than $62,O00O00 an nually. In New York alone. the pro- portion of the annual budget traceable to crime amounts to $7S.s66,100. And through other channels. the total prob ably exceeds $125, 000, ,006. so that this city has the record of having the highest crime tax in the United States. Throughout the country the direct cost of crime is estimated at $700. .000,- 900. but New YOrk's bill is far in ex- cess of that of any other great city.
 New Yo~k is now to have the most expensive farm in the world, valued at S1.000. 900 an acre. since Central Park, the exclusive Fifth Avenue playground is to be turned partially at least, into a vegetable garden, in which potato patches will play a prominent part Carrots, eabbages. corn and peas will also figure among its products for the season. Indeed it seems probable that during the coming summer the ex- precision ''how's the crop" will be one of the most popular queries in what has hither to beenlt most expensive and exclusive park in the world. This is got to be taken to mean however that Father KnickerbOcker has gone into municipal farming, since he will have no vegetables to sell this sum- mer. The crops in Central Park, which will gladden. the eye of the rural wis itor will be merely indicative of the manner in which the city is striving to replenish the soil, now weakened through many years of cultivation. As an alternative to the expenditure of S3.000.00O for fertilizer. the city fath- CTS have decided that it will be cheaper and more effective to start various crops in rotation. Just what dispOsi- ton will be made of the vegetables raised in Central Park is not known. but as that land is valued at S1.000,000 an acre. it is certain that whoever ob- tains the product will have the output of the most valuable farm in the world.

Henrietta Crosman Coming.

When an actress once establishe
confidence with the theatregoing pub
lie it is winning large part of the ba,-
tie, for stage people cannot expect IA
vors from the public unless they ac-
cord the public the fair treatment it de-
serves. Miss Crosman, in addition to
having a great reputation as an actress
of unusual capabilities, is known
throughout the country as having her
plays most appropriately staged, hav-
ing them mounted in manner not
only necessary, but in strict conformity
with the text of the play, thus adding
to the realism, thereby making them
most pleasing to the eye. Miss Cros-
mans plays have, for the past eight or
ten years been produced under the per-
sonal direction of Maurice Campbell,
her producing manager who, himself
has high reputation as producing
manager, who does things as they
should be, sparing no expense in sup
plying every necessary requirement.
AS producing manager, Mr.. Camp
bell takes rank with Henry b. Harris,
David Belasco, Charles Frohman,
Henry w. Savage, Klaw & Erlanger
and other well known producers.

TURN LABOR DAY
INTO BRYAN DAY
CHICAGO CROWDS GIVE CANDIDATE A
GREAT OVATION.

CHICAGO CROWDS GIVE CANDIDATE :
GREAT OVATION.
Chicago, September 7.-Organizet
labor today paid tribute to William J
Bryan. Although it was Labor Day
it soon became manifest that the work
ers had surrendered their privilege ant
made it Bryan Day.
Within an hour after his arrival il
the city, the Democratic candidate TO
President, standing on the balcony o
the Auditorium Hotel, received thu
plaudits of thousands of toilers as they
marched by in the monster labor pa
rade. The air was rent with cheers
and the enthusiasm was unbounded
Not infrequently the workers halted
before the Presidential candidate, dof-
ed their caps and gave three cheers
'for our next President. Many Others
more Familiarity addressed him a.
"Bill" and ''Nilliam.'
A mighty shout went up when he
reached out his hands and caught q
cigarmakers' union badge which one
of that body threw to him from the
street.
The pleasure which the ovation af-
forded Mr.. Bryan was undisguised. He
smiled continually, bowed and clapped
his hands, always giving the women
in the parade an equal share of ap-
plause.
So insistent for speech was the
crowd in front of the hotel that Mr..
Bryan yielded.
In the course of brief address, he
paid tribute to labor, and said he be-
lieved in the observance of Labor Day,
because he thought tive all ought to
strive to assist in dignifying in every
possible way the honest toll upon
which our nation properly rests"
But this was only one feature of the
visit of the Democratic candidate. Fol-
lowing the parade he was whisked
away in an automobile to the Iroquois
Club in company with and followed
by many labor leaders. There luncheon
was served and he made short speech.
Luncheon concluded, Mr.. Bryan was
conducted to Forest Park, several miles
away, where he was scheduled to de-
liver a Labor Day address.
There a multitude awaited his COM
ing. AS he neared the park, word was
passed around and he got another ova-
ton as he came in sight. So eager was
the crowd to catch glimpse of and to
hear him that they got beyond the con-
troll of the police, who were fairly swept
off their feet. Mr.. Bryan himself had
to struggle make Roadway to the pavil-
lion.

the most prosperous farmers from all
parts of Nebraska, Thursday of last
week was "Republican Day." The
principal orator was Governor Craw-
ford, of South Dakota who recently,
in the primary elections in his State,
defeated Senator Kittridge Cor re-elee-
ton to the upper house at Washington.
Governor Crawford made an old
fashioned political speech. He even
invoked the issues of the Civil War.
His audience was large one and pre-
sumably the great bulk of his listeners
were Republicans. He was so fire.
quently interrupted by loud cheers for
Bryan that he threatened to stop
speaking, but, in great disorder, he
continued to the end. Then Senator
Burkett, who is having close race for
reelection, took the platform and at
tempted to calm the storm. Most of
the 5000 or 5000 persons walked away
while the Senator was talking. The
next day Mr.. Bryan spoke from the
same platform. Avowely his speech
was nonpolitical. AT the opening he
said he might have made political
speech if he had thought the speech of
Governor Crawford the day before de-
manded reply. This assertion was
cheered to the echo.
Mayor F. w. Brown, the Democratic
executive of Lincoln, which is usually
Republican by more than 1000, con-
tinues to receive reports from CONNER
cial travellers in Nebraska who are
quietly polling the State on slips de-
vised by the mayor. He said that a
consolidation of the reports to date
shows that Mr.. Bryan will carry Ne
braska by $4,000 to 10000 He carried
it by less than $1,000 in 1896 and lost it
in 1900
The overwhelming majority of com
mercial travellers in Nebraska, as else
where in the West, are for Mr.. Bryan.
From ali over this section they are
sending him the most encouraging re-
ports. In their opinion there will be
a Bryan landslide west of the Missis-
sippi river.

There IS more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by f. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t

1t is pleasing to behold the opposi-
ton to Mr.. Bryan fading into nothing
ness in Democratic ranks. Right here
in Staunton there are many men who
did not vote for Mr.. Bryan in his two
previous campaigns, who will vote fol
him this time. There are also some
who announced before Mr.. Bryan's
nomination that they could not sup
port him if nominated, who find that
they can support him-not with diff
Guilty, but with the utmost ease. Mr..
Bryan may have split the party on an
issue in 1895, but he will reunite it on
many issues in 1908.
