CHENEY COMPANY IN
 "WARD P0LlTIC!AN'
Talented Troupe SeeH in N>@ Line of Plays,

The Sarah Gfbney company at the Orpheum last night presented The Ward Politician" which is deviation in many respects from the class Of plays which this talented troupe has given to the public. It treats partly with the life of the underworld in New York City, and as the name would indicate, the plot Is made up of the schemes of wily politician to main tain himself as boss Of district against the efforts of clean element which 5endeavors to gain a foothold.
 W. J. Wilson is seen in the regula- tion checked vest, red nose, and heavy black moustache of the ward heeler, and handles himself well in a difficult part. Miss Gfbney appears in role entirely different from anything she has been seen in heretofore in this city, and proves that she is a very versatile young lady. Miss De We're, Eddie Black, Miss Cottew and others of the cast also deserve commenda- ton.
 Derley Lewis, ten year old local boy. who takes a rather important part, is unusually cTe~er.

ORDINANCE PASSED . TO TAX PEODLERS
Actual Producers Exempted Action PleaSeS Merchants
 WeIIS-Fargo Included

There was passed at the city coun ciI Tuesday night an ordinance for Which the business men of the city have been asking and which the members of the Board of Trade have taken direct steps to secure. Ine ordinance referred to is that which provides that in future all peddlers and hawkers, other than those who raise their own produce, shall pay to the city a license tax of $30 month, or if by the day, s for each day. The clause which excepts those who rai-e their own produce is to protect farmers and ranchers who bring their produce to market.
 The matter oE the Wells-FaIs sv E1x- press company's practice of having produce shipped in and soliciting ord CTS was brought mp, upon which the city attorney gave ft as his opinion that the new ordinance would apply to them as well as to any one else, It was ststed, and an offer made to furnish proof. to the effect that the express company made a practice of shipping produce into the city au dressed to fictitious person and that the driver went around and solicited orders for the same; and that since the local company had been visited by a committee from the Board oi Trade, and promised to stop the prac tice, that they were using another name and continuing the practice; and proof of the same was offered

TAKE ND ACTION
 IN KIDDER CASE
Duel of Saturday at NaCo Is Not Likely to Be Noticed
 Officially,

Reports from Phoenix indicate that no action will be taken either by the Arizona authorities or by the United Statas au:ro. ties eve: the fatal wounding Of Sergeant Jeff Kidder at Naco, Sonora, in d plstoi duel with three Mexican policemen.
 Inasmuch as no officer is suppos- ed to cross the international line the territorial officials feel that they are not in a position to take any action and there is every indication that the matter will be allowed to drop.
 It is reported in Tucson that Kid der had been frequently warned to be careful when he crossed the line into Sonora, and it is stated that Lieutenant Olds of the Ranger force has also been warned to exercise caution when he crossed the line, as persons in Sonora are said to be lay ing in wait for him. Lieutenant Olds is at present in command of the Rangers in Northern Arizona.

 WHERE YOU SPIT City Dads Pass Ordinance Against PraCtiCe-Street
 Cars Are Included,

A smile went around the council Tuesday night when the bill proposing that an ordinance prohibiting spittIng on the sidewalk, in the street cars in public buildings of Bisbee was pre- sented, but it was seriously consid- cred and after a few comments, passed.
 Attention was called to the fact all cities of any size have such an ordinance, that there had been al ready considerable complaint, nor only From the women, but from the man, of the practice that is made of using the aisIes and the spaces uEoc1 the seats of the street cars for spit toon. It was also stated that the post master had complained that il was great nuisance in and around the post office. The ordinance vii take effect as soon as the necessary publications are made.

BALL PARK AND TRACK
 SEEM CERTAIN
Work to Begin Within Two Weeks-Douglas Will Help Build Race Course-Street Cars Will Connect.

The Southern Arizona Racing As sociation will begin the construction of a race course, with an adequate grand stand, within less than two weeks, to be located a short distance beyond the Country Club.
 This was the decision arrived at last night at meeting of the Association in the offices of Fred Sutter Within the harness track, which will be a mile in length, will be baseball dia- mond, within easy range of the grand stand.
 Not a great deal has been said pub licly of the Racing Association, but it is an organization composed of live ones, who act first and let the talking come later. This organization is com posed of many of the leading men not only of this city, but of Douglas, and has the interest of the stock men not only of Cochise, but adjoining coun- ties.
 The men of Douglas who are inter- ested in racing have shown a very generous spirit. They say that inas- much as it is impracticable for them to have a separate race track, they will join with Bisbee in building the track, and will take two or three thousand dollars worth of the stock. At the meeting last night it was decided to have a committee select the most available tract of land for the course, have engineers survey it, and find out upon what conditions 1t could be obtained Messrs. Grier, Brophy and Toyrea were appointed or the committee and will report back to the Association Saturday night, at which time a meeting will be held in Sutter's office.
 Representative of the baseball in- terests were present and were assured that work would actually begin on the race course within less than two weeks. The Warren Company, which had been seen in regard to the matter, sent word that they would encourage in every possible way the movement to provide a good ball team for the city, that they would extend their car lines to the race course, and order larger cars to accommodate the crowds-cars that would seat 150 peo- pie.
 With the racing association guaran- teeing to put up the grand stand and construct a diamond in the center of the course, the Warren Company offering to grant any reasonable re quest toward forwarding the move ment, and the promises of the bUsi- ness men of the city to support ball team, there certainly seems to be lit tie room for doubt that Bisbee will have a good team, good park and ample facilities for going to and from | the game.

COUNTRY CLUB
 GAINS MANY NEW MEMBERS
Committee Meets With Great
 Success in CanvaSSing- New Club House Is Now Assured, Costing S15,000.

The membership committee of the Warren District Country Club is now soliciting new members, and is meeting with the greatest success According to Chas. Mckean, chair man of the committee, the club is as sured of 300 resident members and 100 nonresident, which makes cer- tain the building of the club house. The latter will cost S15,000, and with the furnishings will represent an out lay of S19,000. Other work at the grounds, such as the tennis court, golf course and rife range, brings the total expenditures to about Szo,- 900, which certainly speaks well for the progress of the district. With the completion of the car line, no community in the southwest Will have more desirable recreation grounds.
 The membership committee ex- poets the cooperation of preseh' club members, and requests that they send in the names of any persons likely to become resident members. These will be called upon in person by some one of the committee.
 The club is now collecting dues from both resident and nonresident members, the former paying s2 8 month and the latter S1. Applications for membership should be accom- panied by $10 as first payment on initiation, and the dues for one guar ter, or SIP The balance of the ini' tiation fee, amounting to $40, is to be paid in monthly installments of SlO and on completion of the payments the secretary will issue one share ol stock in the club, whose par yalne -s $50.
 The committees responsible for the success of this enterprise Feel that every resident of the district should give ais hearty support to the plans now under way. The Country Club is the result of a keen demand for some popular means of recreation, and is destined to supply the need better than anything else that could be devised.
 A lot of steel for the new trolley line to the club grounds arrived yes terday morning, and the electric de partment is going ahead with Its share of the work, all of which is being pushed with energy. More ma teriaI for the line is now on th0 way and members of the club, will before long be able to ride all the way from Bisbee to the recreation grounds.
