A VALUABLE HORSE;

DIR. B. T. Black, the local
physician, was returning from the
country Friday night, where he
had been to admisister to a
patient. when near town his
valuable buggy horse came to a
sudden standstill in the road. He
applied the whip but the horse
refused to move. All the while
the physician noticed that the
horse had his eyes fixed upon an
object on the fence. An investi-
grtion began and he saw on the
top rail what he believed to be a
fierce wildcat. All the more he
tried to make the horse go, but
it was stubborn and refused. DIR.
Black called Mr.. c.. A. Robinson,
who lives nearby, and together
they were surprised to find the
visitor a large, fat 'possum. The
varmint was easily captured and
was brought to town by the
doctor and furnished a feaat for
his Sunday dinner. AS soon as
the 'possum was captured, tied
and placed in the vehicle, the
horse moved along glibly. 1t ap-
pears that the horse has hypnotic
powers which it can WELD over a

LIFE IS CHEAP.

LILY I'D SAOoPs IL yON OO~0S ~
look at the stories of disaster in
the mines of this country during
the past three weeks. Over 500
men have persisted in the recess
es of the earth as the result of
explosions in three different coal
mines. Can you think of what
suffering that means? Eve hun
dred men represent probably at
least 1000 dependent upon them,
who are thus suddenly robbed of
their bread winners, and whose
homes are darkened with the
terrible shadow of tragically sud
den death.
Life is cheap. 1t is probably
true there will always be danger
in mining, that risk cannot be
wholly eliminated; but it is not
conceivable that in this Twenti-
eth century of invention and dis
covery it is necessary to supply
the nation with coal at such ire
mendous cost. We are forced to
the belief that many such disas-
tiers might be averted if proper
precautions were taken, and all
mines were properly equipped
with the best safety appliances.
Unhappily, while this is a CEN
fury of invention and discovery,
it is also century of indiffer-
ence to human life in the pursuit
of the dollar. Life is cheap. 1t
will be easy to find 500 more men
to take the place of those who
died at Monongah a week ago,
and Monday at Yolande, near
Birmingham, Ala. 1t is cheap
er to hire new men than to in
stall safety appliances and take
the necessary care to prevent
accidents.
The Government ought to in
tefere, you say. The Govern
ment does interfere. Itrequires
certain things to be done, and it
appoints inspectors and officials
to see that they are done; but
the field to be covered is wide,
and there are many ways of es-
Gaping from strict obedience to
the law for the man who wants
to. Not until the mine operators
are made to feel their personal
responsibility for the safety of
the men whom they employ, will
it be possible to secure a full
measure of protection. That
realization can only come in one
or two ways. Either by a sud-
den development of the altruistic
spirit to a degree not usually
found in mine operators; or by a
campaign Of prosecution on the
part of the law against all men
on whose property accidents hap
pen that can in any way be as
cribed to negligence. The latter
will probably prove to. be the
quicker and more effective. un-

Voters Will Be Asked To Pro- vide Bond Issue For
 More Buildings.

DOUGLAS. Ariz., Feb. 5.-(SpeeiaD The increase in the enrolment of pupils in the Douglas public schools las grown so much faster. in late years than the size of the buildings and the difficulty of accommodating the~ pupils is already so great that the trus- tees have decided to ask the people of the city to vote an additional is sue of bonds to the amount of S1S,00O this spring, to have the necessary ad- dition ready for occupancy by fallAT present bond issue is sS0,000. The plans which now most practical to meet the growth which will come in the higher grades next fall is to build a four-room addition to the high school building. If necessary another addi- ton can be added to the Fifteenth street school building, but the authori- ties consider it impractical to build smaller building in the northeast part of the city.
 Superintendent Lutz said yesterday that the enrolment in the public schools today is a trife over 1900, and notwithstanding the absence of an un- usually large number on account of sickness, the rolls show 1450 for the month of January. Every inch of available room is now utilized to ac- commodate this number of children and it is necessary to divide three classes in forenoon and afternoon sec tions,'' he said
 This problem of finding more room for the schools is again coming beforre the board of trustees who in turn must refer it to the people Of this dis trict for solution. Owing to the fact that one hundred and forty or more pupils will enter the grammar grades at the beginning of the nsuing term of school, it appears that the most feas- ible plan is to construct a four-room addition to the east wing of the high school building, thus making it possi- ble to bring all of the grammar grades together in one sc1ool By. this ar engagement some three or four rooms in the Seventh street school will be made available to relieve the crowded conditions of some of the lower grades
 and to provide room for new pupils
 who VIII appear at tne opening oi neAh term.
 Tt is hardly considered practicable
 at this time to construct school. By i this arrangement some three or four
 rooms in the Seventh street school
 will be made available to relieve the
 crowded conditions of some of the low
 CT grades and to provide room for
 new pupils who will appear at tne opening of next term.
 'It is hardly considered practicable at this time to construct a sohcoi house in the northeast section of the city, for the reason that large mum | Der of children coming from that part 1 of the district are in the more advanc- ed grades and could not be reasonably expected to enter a mixed school Of five or six grades with one teacher

When the wedding VIII take place has not been definitely decided, but March ,, will probably be selected as the date, that being the anniversary of the marriage of Dr. and Mrs Caven.
 Both Of the interested parties are well known in Bisbee. The bride to be arrived in the disl.ict last May from California, and has visited here ever since with her sister.
