The BIG STORM This section got
the full benefit of the heavy wind
and hail storm Saturday evening.
This village and all the country
west and north suffered severe
loss on crops, windows, fruit,
bridges, etc. The wind, rain and
hail lasted over an hour, and beat
the crops into the ground. All ex-
posed windows on the north and
west sides were broken. windmllls
blown down, sheds demolished and
lowlands flooded. In the village
the ground was covered with leaves
and broken limbs, and many ambl-
tious gardeners mourn the loss OF
nice crops. The barn on the
McKevitt farm, % X 40, was de-
molished and several other large
barns were moved on their found
atoms. The rain poured into brok-
en- windows, doing considerable
damage. Glen Haven and Bagley
reported the streets flooded, but no
great damage. In Cassville light
ming burned the barn on the Dewey
farm and shed on the Ranch farm,
and killed colt for John Vogt, IN
Glen Haven. The heaviest loss
falls upon the new Bloomington
Hail and Cyclone Insurance Co.,
which will be Obliged to levy a

Odd Use For Bread.

Perhaps the most novel use to which
bread IS put may be seen in one of our
great watch factories, where more than
forty loaves of fresh bread are required
each day. An official OF the watch fac
tory is quoted as saying
There is no secret regarding the use
OF bread III this factory. and am will
ing to tell all can concerning it. From
the earliest times in the history CO
matchmaking it has been the custom>of
Watchmakers to reduce fresh bread to
the form Of dough. This is done by
sfeaming and kneading. They then use
this dough for removing oil and chips
that naturally adhere in course of
manufacture to pieces as small as a
part OF watch. There are many
parts of 4 watch. by the way, that are
SO small as to be barely visible to the
naked eye. The Oil is absorbed by this
dough and the chips stick to it, and
there is no other known substance
which can be used as a wiper without
leaving some of its particles attached
to the thing wiped. This accounts for
the continued use Of bread dough in
the matchmaking Industry

|BUsY DAYS FOR BISBEE SCHOOL BOARD
Trustees Trying to Decde on Plans For Warren School,
 Four Bids.

The board of trustees of the pub lie schools is meeting regularly these days. A third meeting was held last night at the offices of l. W. Wallace, where a further consideration of the plans for the erection of a school house at Warren were gone into.
 In response to the advertisement, -Four bids were submitted and it is the consideration of the plans which they have drawn up. az well as the amount of the bids that is occupying the attention of the board. It is prob able that several more sessions will be held before a conclusion Is arrived at At each of the meetings one Of the bidders meets with the board and they go over the plans together.
 According to the instructions that they received from the board in re gard to the matter, all of the plans are in accordance with what is known as the Chicago plan. That Is the
 building will be constructed in sucn a
 way that when additions become nee l essary because of the growth ot the district, they will not be separate rooms that destroy the beauty or the | building, but will rather be carrylnt | out of an original plan and will make | tne whole, when completed, mucf more attractive than any of it's parts It was decided at the meeting las | evening to build retaining wall al i fae Lincoln school house, 1t haylnt been found that this was necessar, lin order to properly protect the prop i erty.

PORTER E SELECTED
 FOR PLACE
Elected By Council To Fill the Vacancy Caused by Death of Thomas Devine-0ther Matters Taken Up.

As a result of the election held at the special meeting of the city council last evening in the city hall, George N. Porter, wG= selected to mn the vacancy in the municipal legisIa tive body brought about by the death of Councilman Thomas Deyine. The council was very evenly divided on the question, P. NJ. Kelly, whose name was brought up by friepds, receiving two votes and tts successful candi-
 date three.
 The meeting was called to order by
 Mayor CaVen at about o'clock, all of the counciimen answering to the roll call. The question of selecting place on which the Harris family can construct a house, after the one lin which they are living in Tombstone Canyon road under Castle Rock is torn down, was immediately taken up. | At the session of the proceeding evening the council decided to allow | the Harris family S450 damages for | the house as it will have to be de- stroyed, as well as giving them per mission to build on city property | in the upper canyon. The matter oI | selecting a site for the new residence | was taken up but was finally left to committee oF the council.
 Mayor Cayen then called to the attention of the council the necessity | of electing a successor to fill the Va l cancy in the body. At the request O. i Councilman Frank Haines, a petition to which were subscribed the names | of some of the most prominent busi
 ness men in the district, who are res. | idents of the Third Ward was read fayoring the selection of F. M. Kelly | the we'll known hoist engineer. Al | the conclusion ot the reading Haines l made a motion that Kelly be selected | and was seconded by Allen. J. Nor | ris then secured the floor and placed l in nomination George Porter. The | nomination was seconded by Shat | tuck.
 The roll was called and Hughes
 who had the deciding vote cast it il | favor of Porter who was present, ant l was immediateis informed of his cleo ton. This leaves the political com
 plexion of the body the same as Tor merly; four Democrats; two Repub rcans: and the mayor belonging tC
 the latter party.
 Several unimportant matters were
 taken up and disposed of.

REDS ARE HE vICTORS IF
 GREAT FIGHT
Enthusiastic Close to Member ship Contest-BIues Lost by Eighty-Nine Points-NeW Members Number 270..

Last night at 10 o'clock at the Y. NJ. c. A. building the membership contest between the Reds and Blues closed with a whirlwind finish. The contest both in enthusiasm and re- suits far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the Association off cials, and even of the members of the respective sides. In all 270 new members have been, received in the Association since the beginning of the contest on November 23rd.. The rul- ing at the beginning was that dollars should count points and the final score of points as shown by the big dial in the Association lobby was S4S for the Reds and 75e for the Blues.
 Up until the last hour of the con- test last night no one had a definite idea as to who would win. It had been known for days that both sides were holding membership applica- tions in reserve and that both sides were planning for a whirlwind finish. The Blues during the early hours of the evening were confident of victory and turned in every available point so as to roll up large score over their opponents. They had, however under estimated the strength of the Reds, and before the first tap of the gong sounded as the hour hand pointed to 10 o'clock the Reds had deposited on the receiving desk 39S points that had not been previously counted. A crowd of three hundred men witness ed the close of the contest. From S:30 to 9:30 the gymnasium was | crowded with men and women who
 witnessed the final game of basket ball between the Reds and Blues. This
 game also ended in victory for the l Reds, the final score being Is to 16 This splendid rally will enable the 1 Association to- close the year 1907
 with clean sheet and the member
 ship record will show the highest rec
 ord in the history of the Bisbee As
 sociation--a paid up membership o 1 over $50.
