A SERIOUS AFFAIR IN TUCSON.

A SERIOUS AFFAIR IN TUCSON.
 What the democrats and republi- cans of Tucson at first regarded as the premium joke of the fiscal year the candidacy of Charles M. Murphy, socialist, for mayor is now regarded as an affair of the utmost serious ness.
 The non-partisan candidate spon- taneously nominated by the leaders supported so far as could be ascer- tained, by the rank and file of both parties is Ben Heney. There was not the remotest doubt of his cleo ton; there was not even a contem- plation of any opposition to him. Of course the socialists had not entered into the non-partisan arrangement but the socialists without numbers or influence were not taken into con- sideration.
 Murphy even did not regard his candidacy seriously and probably the election would have been a mere for maj affair but for former Governor Hughes, among whose varied accom- plishments are those of a fighter and among whose tendencies is that of frequently appearing in the cerements of the political grave, to trouble his enemies.
 MT. Heney comes under the head of Governor Hughes enemies and there being no democratic candidate for mayor upon whom the governor could concentrate his strength he adopted Murphy as his standard bearer. Still his candidacy was looked upon as a joke, but in some quarters the sup port of the governor and Joseph C. Ide was given more or less respect ful attention.
 Murphy has suddenly developed new and unsuspected clements of strength. Notwithstanding Murphy's socialistic notions, he is said to pos sess many pleasing qualities and to have many personal friends outside that cult. It is also believed by the non-partisan leaders that since an earnest view has been taken of his candidacy, he will have the support of the railroad shopmen, that Prae- torian band which has turned many a Tucson election.
 It has also just been learned that the powerful Mexican machine is coming to the support of Murphy, moved by revenge against MT. Heney for his activity as a member of the council in closing a notorious Mexi- can dive.
 It is now admitted by the non- partisan leaders that the fight is a hard one but they are hopeful that the business interests and property owners will secure the election of Heney in order that it may not be advertised to the world in general and capitalists and investors in partic- ular that a majority of the voters of Tucson are socialists.

He Was Treed by the Bear.

Trinidad, Colo.-Compelled to spend
the night in tree to escape being
torn to pieces by bear was the hair
raising experience of Ed Veach, aged
nineteen, Friday night in Frisco canon,
fifteen miles northeast Of here.
Veach and another boy, Ray Shap-
ley, had been deer hunting for week
and last evening Stanley started for
camp early, while Veach continued on
the trail Of deer. When passing around
a cliff, veach was suddenly confronted
by large bear, which started for him.
Veach made for tree, but being un-
able to climb with his gun. he threw
it away and succeeded in climbing to a
safe place just as the bear reached the
base Of the tree. The bear was gone
in the morning. but it had broken the
stock off the rifle.

SICK MAN WANTED CHANGE.
More Than Willing to Mako Transfer
with Physician.


A Syracuse business man who, be-
cides being extremely active and am
bitious. has much sense Of humor,
was taken sick with slight attack OF
pneumonia His physician, aware that
II would be a task to keep his high
strung patient in bed. sought to i'm
press on him the seriousness OF the
ailment and the necessity OF absolute
rest; all Of which the sick man lis
tened to in q bored manner. Never
theless he consented to obey the doc
tor.
But this enforced inactivity ranked
in him; and each succeeding day
found the patient importuning the
medical man attendant to allow him
to get out to business. Then. dis
gusted. he would lie back to cast i'm
precautions at the inexorable physi.
clan.
One morning the physician. aftei
having been up all night on an Inn
portant case, appeared at his patients
house at the usual hour. He had hardl
Iy stuck his haggard face inside the
door, however, before the man in the
bed gave him q quick glance and sat
up.
"Eh? calculated the patient. Then
showing out his hand to grasp the doc
tors satchel. he added: DOC. 1 guess
you'd better get into bed here and
let me go out with the medicine
bag"

NOT A MIRACLE.
Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day. which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink
ing SO severely as to cause spells of
unconsciousness. And to find complete
relief in changing from coffee to Pos
tum is well worth recording.
II used to be great coffee drinker,
SO much SO that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became SO weak l
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time. The spells caught
day.
my friends, and even the doctor,
told me 1t was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. would not be-
heve 1t, and still drank coffee until I
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hesi-
tation l concluded to try 1t. That was
eight months ago. Since then have
had but few Of those spells, none for
more than four months.
Il feel better. sleep better and am
better every way. now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee,
and as I am seventy years of age all
my friends think the Improvement

ASSESSMENT
OF RAILROADS
STATE BOARD or EQUALIZATION
MAkEs HALF MILLION
REDUCTION.
TAX FORTY COMPANIES
TOTAL ASSESSED VALUE OF COR.
p .sATIoNs OVER FIFTY MIL
LION DOLLARS.

Denver-A reduction in valuation OF
a half million dollars has been made by
the state board of equalization on the
corporate property returned to 1t for
purposes of assessment. The board
made its total valuation last spring.
subject to such changes as it might de-
termine upon after hearing protests
from the various corporations on their
valuations.
Hearings on the protests filed have
been heard from time to time, begin
ming in August, and after listening to
all the complaints the board made It's
changes. The total assessment for the
year 1908 as finally fixed and an
nounced is $52. 2.O7S, ,1s7.
The lucky companies were the I'm
ion Pacific. Midland. Denver & Rio
Grande. Colorado & Southern. Cripple
Creek Short Line and Atchison. Tope-
ka & Santa Fe railroads, and the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies. These companies based
their protests on high levies from a
comparative standpoint, duplication Of
assessments on rolling stock on joint
lines. decrease in valuations In coun-
ties through which they operated, etc,
etc.
The Denver & Rio Grande road re-
ceived reduction close to 800, 900.
based mainly on double assessments
and the fact that in certain counties
through which 1t operates valuations
had been considerably reduced. The
Union Pacific was allowed credit be-
tween 10000 and $12, 900 on account of
little branch road 1t operates near
Boulder The Santa Fe did not fare
as well, proportionately, as other COM
panies, but 1t will not have to pay on
as much property as at first scheduled
by from $4,000 to $4,000. The Mid.
land and Rio Grande reductions came
about largely through an excess of as
sessment on rolling stock on joint
line between Glenwood Springs and Ri
file. The reduction in the valuation of
the Short Line property was made for
the reason that valuations In Teller
county have been greatly reduced and
the earnings OF the road affected by a
decrease in business.
Following are the railroad assess
ments on the forty railroad companies
listed:
