 Now that Alonzo Hubbell's boom for congress has reached the serious stage. members of his own psrty have set to work to undermine his chances by circulating the report tLst Hubbell was for joint statehood two years ago.
 Hubbell has the official back ing of Governor Kibbey and Attorney Gen ersl Clark.
 Ii it becomes established that Hub bell approved of the union of Arizona and New Mexico AS one st te. it viii probably eliminate him from the race and leave the nomination between General A Sampson of Phoenix and Colonel l. W Powell of bisbee.
 Though Powell fought Governor Kibbey in the Tucson convention and refused to bolt along with several other delegations that formed convention, in which Governor Kibbey was the dominant figure, Powell! and Kibbey are now sad to be on the iriendliest terms.

THE PUBLIC GEM FIERY
Necessity of EnIarging Burial Grounds
 Is Apparant to Bisbee Visitors.

THE fRoSPECToR representative to day in company with 8 party of Bis bee capitalists, visited the cemetery and took observations os theimnrove. ments in progress at that place.
 A squad of county prisoners are employed on the work. The discov. cry was made that back of the orig inal plot there is a belt of highly available ground some 50 feet wide, which the county and community will sorely need in the near future, as the expansion in population. labor and business which is assured for Tomb stone in the near future, will inevi. tably involve the question of better and broader cemetery facilities.
 The gentlemen who were present from Bi-bee expressed themselves to the eff ct that the county would make a grave mistake if it failed to extend its iense SO as to take in this belt.
 The prisoners who are at work took particular care to exhibit their demor- alized footwear, and ask the county to put shoes on their feet and permit them to work it out.

CACTUS FOR FOOD
Will Save the Lives of 3.00O.OOO of
 !ndia's Poor Within Five Years

That the thornless cactus produced by Luther Burbank will save the lives of 5000, 900 of Indis's poor within five years is the prophecy made by the Rev. Chas. A. Young who was men tioned by the Yuma Examiner, few days ago, as having passed through that city on his way from San Diego to Sonora. While he is in Mexico he ex .. poets to hold conference with officials of that republic with vieT to the in- tro6uction of this wonderful cactus in that country. He also expects to % 10 India in time and thinks that chm. ate and scil will produce a world of cheap food for the poor of that country
 Prof. Burbank" Dr. Yonng told friends. twas fifteen years and made 10000 crossing before he finally suc- ceeded in producing a genuine thorn less cactus. The old style cactus was forced by the exigencies of nature in its struggle !o. existence, to throw out the long spines and thorns and much of the yirility of the plant went into them. As food the cactus in its pres ent state is valueless, ss it is woody and ashy. But the thornless cactus will have body and substance of char scter which will give ample nutrition. It is aresdy practically impossible for the Burbahk gardens to meet the de- mands for the plants. "-Yums Ex- aminer.

 As the financial difficulties of such students are usually more pronounced during the senior year, when the ex- penses are naturally greatest, and then the desire to complete the course and receive the diploma more intense, MT. k:ngsbuEy has made this benefit to apply to the members of the senior class,
 The benefit mentioned consists Of A fund of three hundred dollars, to be set aside in the bank to be known as the Kinosbury Senior Assistance Fund This fund is to be in charge fl the faculty of the Tempe normal school, represented by a committee, and is to be loaned at a low rate of interest, with or without security to such seniors and under such condi- tions as the faculty committee may recommend. The object of the inter est being to make the loan business proposition to the student and to per petuate and increase the fund.

 About p. m. an alarm of fire brought out the Tombstone populace, the fire being locsted at A tent beyond the railroad track near the depot snd at a point where it could not be reach ed by the fire hose. The tent home belonged to Mexican family named Psnfilo and since the fire company had no earthly chance to save any thing, the light and inHamable char scter of the tent made it a fast feast for the demon fire. The origin of the fire is thought to be due to a lightei candle thoughtlessly left burning and the unfortunate family suffered B complete loss of all theft belongings.

TOMBSTONE SIGHTS

 Might Be Improved.

Tombstone sights include, Cochise Stronghold, the Huachuca-, the Chi ricahuas, the Swishelms. Also more beautiful women and pretty, clean laced kinds for its population than any other community in the South. west.
 Tombstone smells, besides roses, honeysuckles, violets and balsam, sometimes include an odor in the rear of soup dump that would delight buzzard, reinforced by burning rags, leather and rubber. The latter is delightful to the educated, fsstidious olfactories.
 Tombstone has the finest sanitary system on the map, and for that req son an undesirable sight or smell that would never be discovered in some other towns, soon becomes the subject ,f adverse comment in the county Ieat.
