Democratic Campaign Contrib
utiOnS.

The undersigned, as Treasurer Of the
Committee of One Hundred, political
organization throughout the State of
MARYLAND for the purpose of electing
BRYAN and Kern and the regular Con-
gressional candidates of the Democratic
party, having duly given bond to the
State of Maryland and filed the same
with the Secretary of State, as provided
under chapter 122 of the Acts of the
General Assembly of Maryland of 1908
for the purpose of preventing corrupt
practices, is now in position to receive
and account for, according to law, such
contributions as may be made by all cit
liens; and has also been appointed by
the Democratic National Committee,
member of the Finance Committee of
the National Organization for the State
of Maryland.
The new law, which throws much la
Dor on political treasurers, directs the
names of all contributors and the
amounts given to be made public rec
ord in the Circuit Court Clerks Office of
the respective counties or Baltimore
City. No subscriptions without the
name of the giver can be received. Any
person who subscribes in any other name
than his own, and every treasurer who
knowingly receives such subscription,
is subject to fine and Imprisonment and
will be ineligible to public Office for four
years from the date of the offence. A
detailed account of expenditures is re-
ouired. The law prohibits subscriptions
from corporations. The publicity thus
given to all subscriptions is apparently
intended to discourage them firm the
special interests for improper purposes
and also correspondingly to encourage
the party leaders and benefciaries, in
Guiding the rank and file of the people,
whose interests are served by honest
government, to bear the campaign ex.
penses of the party which they choose
to support. The public record OF con-
Va
the individuals who give financial sup
port to the Democratic party in this
important campaign.
Every Democrat in the State of Mary
land, who is financially able, should at
once make a contribution for the cause
either to local Treasurer, to the Treas
urer of the State Central Committee,
Hon Murray Vandiver, or to the under
signed, and the name of the contributor
will be placed on the Roll of Honor to
be recorded in the courts of record as
directed by the Statute.
If the people desire to rule and throw
off the yoke of the special interests, they
should respond to this lawful opportun-
ity and contribute to necessary and
proper political expenses.

Mrs Emily c. Traband died At her
home, in Baltimore on September 2lst,
after brief illness She was the
widow of Mr.. ]. H. Traband, of Up
per Marlboro Md, and resided here IN
til the fire o. 'S6 when she moved to
Baltimore. Just few days, before she
was stricken, she had made a visit to
her old home, in Prince Georges every
moment OF which she enjoyed, the Old
familiar scenes seemingly, bringing
great happiness to her.
To know her was to love her, for her
life was that Of beautiful christian,
thoroughly unselfsh and meyer hap
pier than when she could minister to
the wants of others. Though she had
reached the age of 70 years, time had
dealt so gently with her, that her loved
ones fondly hoped she might be spared
for some years. We can not know the
"why", but can only trust God to help
us to bear It.
Mrs. Traband was consistent mem
Der for many years of the Episcopal
Church and she seemed to feel that this
would be her last illness and her reslg-
nation and willingness to depart aud
be with the Lord was beautiful to wit
ness. She was freqently heard quoting
a stanza from her favorite hymn:
Thou wilt my every want supply,
Fen to the end what cen betall
Through life, in death eternally,
Thou art my All"
Mrs. Traband is survived by five
children-Mr. ]. q. Traband, Mrs q.
E. Turner, Mrs. G. S. Crowley, Miss
Adeiine Traband, and Mr. Charles L
Traband.
Funeral was from the church of the
Ascension. Revs. R. L. Coupland and
H.. F. Sammering officiating. Inter-
ment in Druid Ridge Cemetery.

Mr. VIM. R. Smith, who is touring n

1T would be impossible to describe
these great freaks OF Nature. in the
Garden of the Gods The different
formation of sandstone, which stand in
some places 300 feet high and in all

ton.
''In passing from this to the Gave of

geological miracles Of the mountains of

of the cave. When viewing this natur
al wonder, magnificent can only voice

with electric lights which adds to its
grandeur.

THE distance to the summit from

Postmaster Harris has again called
attention to the fact that, beginning
October l, the rate of postage on letters
(frst-class mail) to Great Britain and
Ireland will be two cents for each ounce
or fraction. Such postage should be
prepaid, as deficiencies will be collected
at destination at double rates This re-
duction places Trans Atlantic postal
rates on the cheapest scale ever adopt
ed. The reduction from the tive-cent
rate is not expected by the postoffice
authorities to result in any personal loss
of revenue, for the rate upon postal
cards will remain the same, and people
who have hitherto sent cards will now
send more frequent letters, while the
fact of three being no limit of weight to
first-class mail will induce the sending
of many articles at two cents an ounce

They finished their last fight for the freedom or smaller sentence of the men they rep- resented in the forenoon, and then As- sIstant state Attorney filling summed up what the state had shown in it's evi- dence
 shortly after o'clock, State Attor- ney Williams began his arguments for the conviction of the men. He show ed the points where their stories differ ed with those told by the witnesses for the state and how poorly the prison CTS had explained various points in their way of acting on the night of the murder, He raised his voice in scath- ing denuncation of both of them. He spoke of every feature of the case, go- ing over the details of the actual en- counter between Shechan and the two Italians with dramStic emphasis The two men were more affected than at any other time during their trial.
 When state Attorney Williams rais- cd his voice, they became vsbly nerv- ous, twisting about and blinking their | eyes with great rapdity They were not so nervous during the judges sum- ming up of the law and his charge to the Jury and they heard the words without a qulver, but when they were taken away from court, they both look ed very Respondent, They both show cd signs of the wearing effects of the trial and of probable lack of sleep ear- ly in the day
 Judge Curtis spent over an hour in charging the jury. He reviewed many of the important points In the evidence and showed how each might be taken and what conviction would follow each way of taking them, and he explained the law that would govern their decis- ion He finished his charge at 5;26. At 11l, there was a knock heard at the door of the jury room. The judge. stenographcr, clerk, counsel and state attorney were sent for, and at 7.20. the

Aside from the attempt to besmirch
the character of ]. F. Ross. den ocrat-
ic candidate for district attorney,
there has been nothing in the local
campaign up to the present time in
this county for which there will be
cause for regret after the votes are
polled next Tuesday. Happily. Mr..
Ross was able to offer the evidence
of a large number Of reputable ctti-
zens of Douglas to prove that Cne
anonymous letter published in the Co
chise County Press was utterly with
out truth and hence was calculated to
do him more good than harm. The
people of Arizona have always stood
for clean and fair politics and it will
be found now and in the future that
they will countenance no attempt at
underhanded work.
The democrats Of Cochise county
have especial cause to be proud of
their local ticket this year, because it
is composed of men, in every instance,
who are qualified 20 discharge the du-
ties of the positions for which they
have been named. They are all known
to the people of the county and many
of them have been in public positions
already and have proven their compe-
tence and worthiness Of the confidence
of the people. Reference to these
candidates have been made specially
during the campaign, but we desire to
mention few of them especially
again.
The Legislative Ticket.
The men chosen by the democratic
convention to represent the county in
the legislature are exceptionally well
qualified for this important duty. Fol
the council Hon. Ben Goodrich OF
Tombstone, one among the ablest law
yers In the county, was induced to ac
cept the nomination and head the
ticket Mr.. Goodrich is one of the pio
neers of the county and there is not
a man In the county who is more earn
est in his friendship for that class o.
voters denominated as laboring men
Mr.. Goodrich has known all his life
what n was to work; he has known
what It was to be poor. He may bt
trusted to give his especial attention
during the session Of the Legislature
to such matters as may be proposed
which will better the conditions Of tbs
Iaborfng men of Arizona. He will TAXI
the territorial democratic platform a.
his guide and this platform pledges
the democrats in the next Legislature
