 The promoters of todays entertain ment also stated that the riders were on hand. too, and that among theEi was the redoubted Will Hughes, who is to throw a steer bull dog fashion. Hughes is the man who trained Walter Picketts on this trick and indeed taught hun the stunt which has since made him famous.

Wake up. ye fans. arouse ye rooters. The sun is rising.

Is rising Already the dawn of the day when Bisbee win have a wnning team to put il all over Douglas. Cananea, Clifton. Morenci and Fl Paso is g. hand. There is something doing in baseball
 This statement comes as a result of committee meeting yesterday af- ter which two of the city's most active hustlers got out after the fans rAth little list, and those who have not yet added their name to those going on the list want to hustle and get O.. the band wagon.
 The first announcement that comes as result of the meeting yesterday i5 that there. are to be changes. That was to be expected. Those changes are to be immediate. Yesterday there were three wires sent to three ball players in the east offering them a pleasant and happy home. Before those messages were sent there had been regulations and the answer to the telegrams is sure to be Coming These three new players are of the chilli and tamale variety. 'hot stuff. They are all to the good. yes. they are crackerjacks. That is all the com mittee will say about them until they are safe within the field. In addition to this negotiations are under way and approaching a continuation with two other players. They. too. will be here , soon. The inducements are offered, they will suffice.
 It Is not now case of going around and seeking position for the players and letting them play ball at od,l NNOt sO ANoN tucs VIII ball all the time. Bisbee is to have an all salaried team during the months of September and October at least. That was what the meeting decided After the meeting was over and the messages sent Attorney Nj. ! OConnell and George Buxton went cut with winning. ways and pleasant smiles and spent yesterday afternoon getting together the sinews of war They are not letting any likely looking man get away for Bisbee must wake up. Douglas is on the map and Bis bee wants equal recognition.

ARIz0NAN HAS INVENTED
 BATTERY

From present appearances 1t would seem that an electrical storage bat tery having it's incipiency in Yuma. backed and exploited. moreover. by is on the verge of effecting a revolu- ton in the world of electricity. It is the invention Of Julius Krohn of Yuma. Preliminary tests and expert ments which have been witnessed by Los Angeles electricians have exceed ed the most sanguine expectations of the latter in the capacity of the new primary wet cell. The latter Is 2 small, hard. rubber drum, five inches in diameter and one and seven-eighths' iIches in thickness; the walls are one eighth in thickness. The cell is fitted with rubber tubes, so that the liquid used for storing the electricity may percolate rapidly. Regular zinc and carbon plates are used in the cell, the carbon being especially prepared by secret process known only to the in- yentof.
 The inventor states that ozone is the active principle of the primary cell and that the results depend upon the amount of ozone created. He de- ciares that electricity may be produc- ed at two and half cents per kilowat, which is an astounding statement m itself Yumaites are backing the ir.- yentor.
