this fall cast their first ballot. having
reached the age of majority since the
last general election.
The register shows that there are
more names of Mexican descendants
on this year than ever before in the
history of the county. One of tae
reasons is the fact that a number
whose parents were residing in the
strip included IN the Gadsen purchase
have learned that under the treaty
which ratified the purchase, that they
were made citizens of the United
States. OF this number some of them
claim to have resided in the terri

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 19.-The
case of Adolpa Fisher, naturalized
American citizen, who has been held
for the past ten months in Russian
iails, has been taken up by the Rus
sian press, and with this cooperation,
the efforts of the American embassy
TO secure the release of Fisher may
provo successful.
Fisher was arrested in a restaurant
in Samarna, frequented by petty crimi-
mails, on suspicion of being implicated
in a murder. Subsequently his in
nocence was established, but he was
kept in Jail in st. Petersburg, where
in the feantime, he had been transfer

BEN GOODRICH
PUTS SOUL IN
THE CAMPAIGN
He and Col. Pickett Take Up
Work of Marx Smith in CO.
chise and Garry It On With
Enthusiasm.

Ben Goodrich spoke last night to
an enthusiastic audience in Douglas,
where ne arrived from Tombstone with
that other eloquent eampaigner, Colo
mel H. l. Pickett.
Although Ben wired Marcus A.
Smith not to leave Arizona for the ma
tional campaign work that the lat
ter finally decided to be his paramount
duty, the Grand Old man of Cochise
county, nevertheless, has thrown him
self into the work that has devolyed
upon aim with all the enthusiasm of
boy. From Douglas he goes to Ben
son to fill Marks place. He will speak
in Bisbee Thursday and talk TO the
Lowell people Friday.
Referring to certain "jollyings" he
has received from the Republican
press Ben yesterday told a Review rep
resentative: They can say, il they
want that | stole a horse in Texas
and left between two suns. | feel
that personal enIHity should never be
engendered during a Political cam
paign. We are all good Americans,
working each for what he thinks, is
the best good of his country and We
must not get i'll tempered.
Although he has been a valuable
integer of the human machinery OF the
country for thirty years or more, 1t Is
possible that few of his admirers
know that the Hon Benjamin Good
rich was not born in the United States.
He first saw the light in tae Lone Sta1
republic, which wSs not at that day
state of the union. His fathers young
est brother met his death in the
Alamo. Ben's three distinguishing
characteristics are these: He is so
old that he admits he is afraid to die,
ne carries his old brown hat in his
pocket between speeches, and refuses
to smoke anything but tobacco-even
during the stress of hot campaigns.
Colonel H. L. Pickett, who is help
ing Ben Goodrich stump the county, is
a brainy and competent speaker. He
resembles Colonel Henry Watterson
in physique so closely that he has
been often mistaken throughout the
east for the distinguished editor ano
orator OF Kentucky.
Colonel Pickett is man of many
attainments, being a lawyer Of ability,
a mining man of note, and a lecturer
of large calibre. He is devoting his
time to the furtherance of the Demo
cratic campaign in this region solely
as a matter of principle, not being a
candidate for any Office.
E. t. Ijams, of Solomonville, brings
good news from the country of the
ella. He says that Marcus A. Smith
was received with affectionate warmth
throughout that valley and that Ora
ham county will give Arizona's candf'
date a greater vote than he has receiv-
ed at any time during his long service
for this territory.
When question concerning the petty
reports TO the effect that Mark had not
received the telegram from Bryan, Mr..
Ijams laughed and assured the inter
viewer that he was at the telegraph
office when Marcus A. Smith received
the wire. Not only did Ijams see it,
but he kept the original and has il in
his POCKET.

BUFFALO BILL IS

America has many celebrities whose
deeds in war and in peace are, so far
as the masses are concerned, confined
to books; there is one, however, who
so thoroughly belongs TO his time as
to virtually live daily with the peo-
pie who he so well served. and that
is Colonel William F. Cody. known
TO his generation. and destined to be
remembered as Buffalo Bill" This
American notabiIity comes not alone
with his story from the historic scenes
in which he figured, but with the very
atmosphere of the plains, the once
Wild West, the Indian with the camp
ing ground and buffalo hunt, accomp-
anying his work. The battle in which,
nearly forty years ago, young scout
killed an Indian chief whose atrocities
had marked the advance of civiliza-
ton with horrors untold, is more than
matter of history to the public even
to this day, for the scene is daily and
nightly being re-enacted by the very
scout who was the leader in that fight
Aided by the art of the first-class per

II there were no other features in
Buffalo Bits" Wild West than his
own appearance, and the real pictures
of the scenes in which he won fame,
and his place in the affection of the
American people, the performance
would easily have first place among
amphitheatrical exhibitions. But from
the first feature, which grows in in
terest, until the audience sees rough
riders of every nation assembled as
il they walked out of history, and
out of scenes from Fonteney to Wa

from the sands OF Africa to the Val.
leys of Wyoming, the exhibition is en-
tertainSng. Thus the play becomes at
once educational In dramatic sense,

In which It lives, to see and know as
much as possible Of the strong lives
and splendid daring which reduced
the Wild West to the empire of peace
and prosperity that It now has be-
