would be a good idea to try and
give the people their moneys worth
there before attempting something
more preteEtious Beside that
taxation is alre..dy as heavy as the
people can bear, and the PROPOSE
ton for bonding the school district
for a high school if adopted will
add to the present taxation to pro-
vide funds to meet the interest on
the bonds and the salaries of the
teachers. What with town i'm
provements and other burdens
taxpayers in Nogales have about
all they can carry. Mr.. Marsh
thought that to attempt to carry
high school at this time would add
too greatly to those burdens.
Mr.. Madison Risinger declared
himself most positively against
loading the school district with
any further debt, or the taxpayers
with any further burdens than
they are carrying now. He would
oppose the proposition vigorously,
and unless he is mistaken greatly
in public sentiment Mr.. Risinger
thinks the proponents of the bonds
will be unable to carry them at an
election. At any rate he shall con.
tribute every effort possible toward
defeating the bonds and tax if cleo
tions are called to vote upon them
Doctor H. w. Purdy stated that
as ii member of the school board
which would have to call 3 bond
election were the petition required
by law presented in due form he
felt it incumbent upon. himself to
occupy committal position;

ready sons or daughters away to
school who would be returned to
Nogales were there good high
school here, at a great saving, and
the existence of such a school
would draw to Nogales many fam
lilies of men operating in Sonora
and Sinaloa who have their famil-
les living in California or the East
simply on account of educational
facilities. They would prefer their
families much closer. With good
schools at Nogales they would find
right at hand all that is keeping
their families farther away, and they
would make their homes at Nogal-
es right away, which would mean
goodly addition to the population
OF the town, and gratifying increase
in citizenship of the best class.
Mr.. Ramon Vasquez said that
from business point of view, as
an investment, he doubts the ad-
visibility of taking up the PROPOSE
ton at this time. He believes that
the high school population-those
who would attend high school were
there one-is not sufficient to make
an adequate return upon an invest.
ment of $4,000 for the plant, and
the cost that will have to be carried
to keep such school in operation.
To conduct such a school will re
quire at least two high salaried
teachers. TO get a return upon
that cost and an investment OF
$4,000 in bonds will require an
output of graduates far greater
than Nogales can supply the raw
material TO produce. 1t would not
be a good business investment,
and he doubted the advisabllity OF
embarking therein at the pre- seas
time. Mr.. Vasquez admitted there

there will be among the increase d

CAMPAIGN FOR TEMPERANCE.
Publicity to Be Worked In the Cause
of Reform.

Right has always been on the side
of the temperance forces, but in days
past the saloons have often had the
most effective tactics, and the tactics
rather than the righteousness of the
cause have prevailed. To-day, this can
no longer be said. The methods which
have served the saloons so well in the
past have been adopted by the temper
ance forces and have been cleaned up
and purified and made to serve the
cause of righteousness. Chief among
these, perhaps, is advertising. There
has not been day since the conflict
began that the voter has not had the
saloon argument forced upon his no.

boards. Whisky advertisements have
stared at him from every corner; but

Ncero's Feat Is to Vault and Throw
Animal-Shows Great Courage
and Bravery But Fails in
His Attempt.

Kansas City.-When the bull fight
ers and the lovers of bull fighting in
the City Of Mexico heard recently that
"The Dusky Demon of Oklahoma"
would offer to prove in the ring of Ell
Toreo that there were braver men than
matadors and that attacking a bull
with sword was boys play compared
to what the 'Dusky Demon could do,
there was scorn in the faces of the
Mexicans and plans made to cause
American showmen from "101" ranch
to regret that the honorable institution
of bull fighting had been aspersed
The "Dusky Demon" was negro,
named Pickett, whose feat, frequently
witnessed in the southwest, was to
vault from his saddle to the back OF
wild Texas steer, seize it by the
neck, then by the horns and throw it
to the ground The climax of Pickett's
feat was selling the steer by the upper
lip between his teeth, and throwing
the animal by sheer strength of his
jaws.
Pickett found himself facing big
bull from the Tepeyahualco granaderia.
His experience with Texas steers had
been that they began running away at
his approach, which enabled him to
ride alongside and spring upon them
from his saddle. To the surprise of
"The Dusky Demon from Oklahoma"
the Mexican bull, with below, lower
ed his horns and charged. He charged
as rapidly and as frequently as he
could turn and recover himself. The
cowboys, closely pressed, found them
selves fully engaged in protecting their
own horses, instead of guarding Pick
EFT.
After many failures to get the bull in
the right position for vaulting, Pick.

ett made a desperate effort to get hold
of the bull, and narrowly escaped
death. There is a severe penalty in
Mexico for failure to produce public
performance according to advertise
ment. Pickett rode from the ring, the
crowd kissing and jeering, and told the
manager that it would be necessary
to risk having his horse gored to make
possible his getting near enough to
vault from his saddle. This permis-
sion was granted, and "The Dusky De-
mon," facing thousands of unfriendly
faces, returned to the encounter
The bull struck Pickett's horse at
the first attack, and Pickett leaped for
his hold The bulls horns were wet
with blood, and slipped from Pickett's
grasp. He got his arms around the
bulls neck, and was startled to find
its neck was so thick and short that
he could not encircle it. The infuriated
bull shook "The Dusky Demon" from
side to side as if he were a ribbon
on banderillero.
In seven and a half minutes, Pick
EFT, exhausted, could hold the bull no
longer, and fell backward, the bull
charging and trampling unon him. A
bull fighter entered the ring, waving
his gaudy vest. to lure the bull from
the PROSTATE Snowman, but was pulled
back by companion. Before the bull
could turn for another charge, the
hearts Of the bull fighters softened,
and "The Dusky Demon" was saved
After the exhibition, the Mexicans
admitted that Pickett showed great
courage and bravery, but said it was
futile for any man to hope that bare
handed he could subdus lighting

there must be some line of action
marked out And while the prophet
struggled under this momentary con

he cast about him in desperation for
some plan, some effort, which would

their plans.

lamps, which are upon the top

And then he paused at the unusual
sight before him, for there appeared
two olive trees, one on the right side
and one on the left side of the candle
stick.
Perplexed and astonished, he turned
in the direction of the voice which had
spoken to him before, and exclaimed:
What are these, my Lord?"

the angel demanded.

Thou shalt, indeed, but hear the

through the streets Of the city and
burst into the presence of Zerubbabel,
to whose eyes had come no sleep that
night, But the message which he heard
from the lips of the prophet sent him
forth with a new inspiration and zeal
