TOWN RESIDENTS

Fortune Disposed of by Two
Brothers to Their Old
Friends and Neighbors.
WAS DONE BY AGREEMENT.
COLLEGES BUT FEW DISTRiB-
UTE MEANS AMONG THOSE
CLOSE At HOME.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 5.-As the re-
suit of an agreement made years ago
between Thomas M. and Alexander Gill
christ, two kindly old bachelor broth
ers, a fortune of more than 81 600. 900
has been distributed among the resi-
dents of the littletown of Charlton.
Alexander j. Gilchrist has recently
followed out the agreement made with
his brother four years ago, and left his
fortune, together with one of equal
size left him by his brother, to the
friends and neighbors instead of some
pretentious educational or charitable
institution.
According to the village gossip, sew

TOO SCARED TO CRY
Woman Watched Burglars at
Work on Vault and
Could Not Talk.
DESERVING OF A MEDAL.

Easton, Mo-, Sept 5.-Mrs. A. Mar.
shall of this city watched four burg
lars working on the vault of the Bank
Of Easton for two hours. She was too
frightened to cry out or otherwise give
the alarm. The men escaped with
about $500 belonging to the postoffice.
The money was between the outer
and inner doors of the vault and the
robbers were frightened by daylight
before securing the banks funds. The
vault was wrecked and a large hole
blown in the floor
The men drove away in a carriage
toward st. Joseph. They are believed
to be the same men who robbed the
bank at Rushville, Mo-. last Wednes-
day, for whom a reward of 5000 has
been offered.

FREIGHT CARS
To Be NEEDED
Actual Famine Expected by
Middle of October.

Saginaw, Mich, Sept. 5.-According
to statements made at Pere Marquette
headquarters in this city there will not
be an idle freight car in Michigan
within days. In fact, it was predict
ed that there will be a car famine by
the middle of October. Over 500 Of
the Pere Marquette's 2.5Go idle cars in
this district have in the last ten days
been absorbed in the handling of early
crops.
The Pere Marquette is turning out
repaired cars at the rate of fifty a day
in order to meet the prospective rush.

No Trace of Missing rIan.

Although nearly two weeks
have elapsed and the country
surrounding Kingman has been
carefully searched by large
search parties, no trace has yet
been found of M. Redman, who
disappeared from his home in
Kingman on the 9Th of this
month. Every clue has been
followed up, trails showing dim
footprints have been followed
for miles, but nothing has come
of it. After the Indians and
whites had practically given up
the search, j. G. Potts and four
Indian trailers made syste
matte search of the country east
and south Of town, spending a
number of days securing the
mesas and canyons. 1t is not
probable that he will ever be
found. And yet it is possible
that he may have gone east on a
visit to relatives without inform
ing any of his friends of his in
tention, although no ticket was
sold to him by the railroad agent
at this station. Prior to his dis
Mr.. Redman was i'll
and it is thought that brooding
over his feeble condition unset
tied his mind and in this con-
dition he wandered off into the
hills. He was one of kindliest
men in the territory and number
ed friends by the hundreds. He
was member Of the Elks,
Pythians and Odd Fellows, and
these lodges are making every
effort to locate the missing man,
dead or alive. A reward Of
800 is offered for any informa-
ton that will lead to his dis
covery. -Mohave County Miner.

HON. ]. L. HUBBELL.

Without any other evidence
before US, the mere fact that J..
l.. Hubbell Of Apache county
walked out of the Herring con-
vention at Tucson is sufficiently
convincing that that body was
irregularly and Illegally organ
lied. Mr.. Hubbell has been at
tending Arizona Republican con-
ventions for a quarter of a
century and is one of the most
stslwart Republicans in the ter
Ttory. He always stays with
the organization that has any
sem blance of regularity-in fact,
he is regularity itself; and his
presence in the Santa Rita CON
vention is abundant proof that it
was the real Republican conven,
ton.

SECOND HOnESTEAD ENTRIES

The general land Office has is
sued the following circular Civ
ing instructions to registers and
receivers concerning second
homestead entries:
1. The act of February s, 1908,
| (public-No. 49,, allows person
otherwise qualified to make a
second homestead entry where
such person has made and lost,
forfeited or abandoned a former
homestead entry prior to the
passage of said act, and such
former entry was not cancelled
for fraud or abandoned or relin-
pushed for a consideration.
2. The person applying to
make second homestead entry
under this act must file in the
local land Office an application
to enter specific tract of public
land subject to homestead entry,
accompanied by his affidavit exc,
cuted before an officer authorized
to administer oaths in homestead
cases, stating description Of
former entry by section, town
ship and range numbers Tor num-
Der of entry and name of land
office where made; date of entry;
when he lost, forfeited or aban-
doned the same; that it was not
cancelled for fraud, and whether
he received anything for aban-
doning his claim or relinquishing
the entry. The affidavit must
be corroborated by the affidavit
of one or more persons having
knowledge of the facts relative
to the abandonment of his claim
or the REIMBURSEMENT of the
former entry, which corroborat
ed affidavit may be executed be-
fore any officer authorized to

HOW TO ADVERTISE A STATE

The California Promotion com
mittee, composed Of San Fran
cisco business men, has illustrat.
ed in a brilliant manner The
proper way to advertise state,
way the other states and terri
tories of the union might copy
with profit. This committee is
maintained entirely by voluntary
contributions of its members,
bat no member seeks any indi-
vidual emolument, the object Of
all being the upbuilding Of Cali
fornia.
Itself a state central organiza-
ton, it has affiliated with it 100
local organizations, has estab-
liShed bureau at 9 East Twenty
third street, New York, and
gives to the world reports on the
commercial and industrial condi-
tions of California. These re-
ports are neither optimistic nor
pessimistic; they are simply ac7
curate, their accuracy being rec
ognized by the federal govern
ment, which makes frequent calls
upon the committee for informa-
ton, and also seeks its assist
ance when making investiga-
tions. Recently when govern
ment engineers spent two weeks
in San Francisco on their river
and harbor inquiry they were in
constant touch with the commit
tee. At present inquirers for
information concerning Califor-
MIA are referred by all depart
ments of the national govern
ment to the California Promo
ton Committee. Foreign gov
ernments also make use of it and
frequently send to it for infor-
nation. Publishers of encyclo-
dias and other books regard it as
one of their most authentic
sources of information on mat
tiers relating to California.
Even this brief outline of the
great work being done by the
business men of San Francisco
MOI only shows what the commit
tee is doing for its state, but
clearly indicates the lines on
which similar associations might
be successfully conducted in ev-
cry other state and territory.
Not only California, therefore,
but the whole union is indebted
to the California Promotion COM

Scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to Sweeten it, She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive

then that if this stomach-churn is foul it

The evil of a foul stomach is rot alone

the Senate, made the following
statement: 81 do not believe
that the expenditure of a single
dollar for the city Of Washing
ton in order to beautify the cap
itol of the nation and erect it's
workshops has ever been criti-
cised by an American tax payer
or an American voter. [ do not
believe that if today the Con-
gress of the United States was
to pass a bill appropriating even
$32, 100000 for the purchase of
sites and the erection of build
ings to complete the plans |
have detailed, there would be a
dissenting vote in the United
States. | do not believe there
would be one criticism from any
paper in the United States. On
the other hand [ think it would
be one of the most popular
measures ever passed by Con-
gress, and one that would be
met with the heartiest approval
everywhere.

TUCSON CONVENTION.
Twelve Counties Bolt
and Hold a Separate
Convention.
Governor kibbey Would Not Submit
to the Raw Work of Chairman

When Governor Kibbey at the
head Of the Maricopa delegation
walked out of the opera house al
Tucson last Saturday and left
the so called convention presided
over by VIM. Herring, there oc
Cured the most momentous and
dramatic episode in the history
of the Republican party in Arr.
iona, and one Of the most dra.
matte incidents that has ever
occurred in Republican conven-
ton anywhere.
This is what led to what has
been dubbed as a "bolt" by that
portion of the territorial press
which many people have reason
to believe is influenced more by
the wishes of the Copper Queen
and other corporate interests
than by the wishes of the peo-
pie. The Maricopa delegation
of 81 had been ser t to Tucson by
a county convention regularly
elected in which there Was not a
contest for a single seat, and by
an unanimous vote. Adams led
to Tucson a contesting delega-
ton, whose only merit and right
to be there was that it was a
contrasting delegation. There
were contests also from Cochise
and ella counties. The commit
tee on credentials. consisting Of
ten members, one each from the
counties without contests, after
SIX hours continuous delibera-
ton, by a vote Of six to four re-
ported in favor Of seating the
Kibbey delegation from Marico-
pa, the Smith delegation from
Cochise and the Smalley delega-
ton from ella. There was mi
nority report favoring the Ad-
ans, Powell and Mauk delega-
tons from the same counties,
respectively. On a vote upon a
motion to substitute the minority
for the majority report Of the
committee on credentials the
chairman of the Pima county
delegation announced that Pima
county cast q votes aye. A poll
of the delegation was demanded,
and despite the vigorous protest
Of Molloy, Of Yuma, Bird of San
ia Cruz, and at least one member
of the Pima delegation itself
Andres Rebel = Temporary
Chairman Herring ruled that the
unit rule was in force in the
Pima delegation and that the
delegation should not be polled.
No man in the convention
perhaps no man in the entire
Republican party-knew SO we'll
as William Herring himself that
that ruling was absolutely lille
gal and wrong, unfair and un-
precedented. He is one of the
ablest parllamentarians thatever
welded a gavel and is a profound
student of the history of his
party; and when he made the
ruling he too well knew that if
there is any one thing absolutely
settled in the policy of the Re-
publican party it Is that the unit
rule shall never obtain, and that

THE NEW PRISON.

In all probability the new ter
ritorial prison to be built at Flor
ence will be constructed in ac-
cordance with plans submitted
by Thornton Fitzhugh, the Los
Angeles architect. The board
of control has practically come
to this decision. A telegram was
sent TO the architect asking him
to come to Phoenix for a consul
tation, which will settle all de-
tails.
Col. Tom Weeden, one of the
inspectors, says that work will
begin on the prison within the
next two or three weeks.
Within six months from the
time work is begun the prison,
though not entirely completed,
will be IN such condition that
the work of removing and trans
ferring prisoners from Yuma can
be commenced.
So far the actual work on the
buildings has been held up by a
slight cloud in the title to the
land upon which the institution
is to be located. This, however,
has been remedied and it will be
but short time until work is
started on the foundations.

THE TRAMP NUISANCE

One Of the important matters
to be taken up at the next an

is the abatement of the tramp
nuisance, and the railroads of
the country are about to take
concerted action with this end
in view. Figures just made
public to show the seriousness
of the problem the railroads of
the country cope with in dealing
with trespassers indicate that
the Pennsylvania railroad alone
lost $4,000 last year in thefts
by tramps.

Practical Work of the University of
Wisconsin.

The University of Wisconsin has
encouraged it's instructors and investii
gators to use their time and oppor-
tunities, their libraries, and their lands
and buildings in the investigation of
subjects which could be used to aid
all Of the people of the state. Such
work as Professor Babcock did in in
venting and perfecting methods Of
handling milk, methods which have
lightened the labor and increased the
comfort of the housewives and their
families in every rural home in Wis
consin has been the ideal Of the re-
search work done at the University Of
Wisconsin.
1t has been unfortunately true, how
ever. that frequently the results of
these investigations have been years,
and ofttimes a generation, in reaching
the people who could make the best
practical use of them. To overcome
this, the University of Wisconsin has
organized the University Extension
Division, whose purpose it Is to train
men and instructors to use the most
effective means of spreading this in
formation among the people, and
arousing their interest in its study. Te
do this work it is necessary that
methods of advertising should be used
which are as direct as those used
by the merchants and manufacturers.
1t is necessary that a large number
of intelligent people should assist the
University in making known its de-
3ires and spreading information in re-
gard to its methods.

The Weight social and entertain
ment given at the Harris school Sat-
urday night, the 18th inst, was
very successful. The program con-
sisted of vocal and instrumental
music as well as speaking. William
Tracy sang splendidly. The whole
program was excellent and was ap-
preciated by all.
A gold watch was presented to
Young Staetzold for having the
highest average standing in his
school work. Miss Alice Harris
having the next highest average
standing was presented with gift
from her teacher miss McDermott).
Mr.. Nimlos of Ellsworth, gave
short talk about the watch and the
purposes of presenting it. He then
presented the two gifts to the pupils
mentioned. A social followed the
entertainment. Coffee was served
with the refreshments. Everybody
present had fine time. The sue
cess of the social was due to the ex-
cellent work and training done
through the efforts of Miss McDer-
mott. 1t netted $500, which will
be expended for new school furni-
ture.
