DRUGGISTS MUST BE cHARY.
They Sell All Kinds Of Hair Prepara
 tions, and Fear to Discriminate.

Druggists sell all kinds of hair prep arations, and as rule they are wise ly chary of giving preference to any particular one, but many of them have come out plainly for Newbro's Herpi- eide, the new treatment that abso- lutely kills the dand-'Iff germ. H. SwanneIl & Son. Champaign, Tll., say: ''One customer of ours who did nut have a hair on top of his head when he began to use Herpicide, now has a fair start towards good head of hair. We believe Herpicide to be by far the best preparation of its kind on the market" Hundreds of similar tes- timonials from everywhere. Sold by leading druggists. Send 10c in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co, Detroit, Mich. One dollar bot ties guaranteed.

VAN ALIENS END \ BLOW TO
 FRIENDS

DOUGLAS, Nov. 26.-(Special J.
 The announcement of the sad end to the life of Harry Van Alen yester- day afternoon came as a blow and shock to his many friends in Douglas where practically everyone who knew him was his friend. It could hardly be believed and seemed impossible that he had committed suicide, especi- ally to those who had met him yester- day morning or afternoon.
 Harry Van Alen was one of the most progressive business men in Douglas and was also one of the most popu- lar. He always wore pleasing smile and had a pleasant word for every one he met and knew. He was never called upon for anything which was to the benefit of Douglas that he did not respond and respond generously. His charming personality also went for much and even mere acquaintan- in his death It is probable that the fact that he had Bright's disease and knew it, although it had not progress ed far, had much to do with his sui eide This and the fact that Mrs. Van Alen was not in the best of health is the cause generally attributed for his act.
 The coroner's inquest over the body of MT. Van Allen was held this morn ing and the chief witness was Mrs Dodd, next door neighbor She tes- tified to meeting Mrs. Van Allen on the street and to being asked by her to accompany her home, which she did. The two entered an automobile and rode to the Van Alen home Mrs. Dodd went to the back door and found the screen door fastened. Then she returned to the front and found that door also locked. Thereupon she went to her own house and obtained a pass key to unfasten the front door.
 Returning to the Van Allen home Mrs Dodd put the pass key in the lock and as she did so she saw Mir Van Alen seated in chair, He look ed at her and then the fatal shot was fired.
 MT. Van Alen had seated himself in chair. had placed his feet on an other chair and put the shot gun be tween his knees. To the trigger of the gun he had attached string and loop and in this way pulled the trig- ger with his left foot He was dead when Mrs. Dodd entered the house followed by Mrs. Van Alen.
 The verdict of the jury is that Harry Van Alen came to his death

MINING ENGINEER
 RETURNS RETURNS TG |0 BISBEE
WILL LOOK OVER sHATrucK,ARI, IONA PRoPERTV--sAs BEEN IN DOUGLAS ON Rusii'Ess.

Following a brief stay with friends at Doug.as, A. B. Hodges consulting engineer for the Shattuck.Arizona company. returned to Bisbee last evening Today he will resume his inspection of the company's property here.
 Since his arrival here several days ago Mir Hodges has been spending the greater part of his time under ground at the Shattuck going over the workings in a systematic manner. As yet he is not able to make any definite announcements, the property having been practically strange to him, prior to this trip.
 Just what his decisions VII be is a queston puzzling to Bisbee stockhold- CTS of the company and great deal depends upon hs findingsIt was rum- ored about the city yesterday that his reasons for going to Douglas were that he desired to look over the smeltcr site where it was once proposed to erect Q reduction plant for the com pany. This is denied, it being stated that it was to visit friends, over Thanksgiving day that he made the trip.

CENTRAL PLANT INSTALLS NEW
 EXCHANGE
GETS READY TO OPERATE GEN TRAL ENERGY EXCHANGE AND DO AWAY WITH SUBSCRIBERS
 HAVING TO RING UP" CENTRAL


 The Bisbee Improvement company will soon have the central exchangs equipped With a modern central en ergy'' system which will obyiate the necessity for a subscriber ringing for a connection. Simply lifting the receiver from the hook win cause lamp to fash at the switchboard as signal to the hello girl that the line is open. Connecting the old subscrib- CTS with the new switchboard will he commenced Sunday. A notice to this effect will be found in another parc Of the Review.
 Installation of this system has been underway for several weeks durins which time a large amount of lead cable enclosing hundreds of wires has been strug over the district Some of the cables enclose as many as 5OO wires, while the smaller ones have a capacity of 100 service wires each.
 Stringing the cables was complete recently and for several days electri- clans of the company have been bus fly engaged in connecting the switch boards at the central station in the B. I. building. It was hoped tha; this would be competed and the new sys- tenn in all its parts put to work b. Sunday. but it now appears that tais cannot be accomplished, completion being one or two days further along than was originally calculated.
 The advantage of the new system is that 1t will give central operators a more full supervision of conversa tions. Whenever, under the full mui, tiple system switchboard, call comes in each operator can give connection to any number desired without pass ing the plug to any other part of th . board. When a conversation has been completed and one telephone re ceiyer hung in place the light in stantly goes out and in this way if will be easy to tell whether a rec ceiver is still down or whether a phone is still in use
 It is not the intention of the com pany, at present 60 change the style of telephones in use in the dis trict. This will be done gradually.
 Under the supervision of Manager Thompson, of the B. I. company there has been several hundred miles of new wire strung, while Improvements of various character, calculated tc place the company to the fore among public service corporations of the ter ritory, have been anaugurated within the last few weeks.

DEATH CLAIMS 2
 IN MINE CRASH
WILLIAM wYkoFF AND WILLIAM MeDouoAL SUSTAIN FATAL IN JURIEs WHILE DESCENDING SHAFT AT JUNCTION. MINE

Two men are lying dead in the local morgues on account of an accidep: which happened about o'clock yes terday morning on a cage in the June ton mine shaft; William c. Wykof dying about two hours after the ac. cident and William McDougal at S o'clock last night at the c. & A. hos pital. where they were removed after the accident.
 Three men, including Wykoff and McDougal. all employed in the June ton machine shop, were taking num- Der of running sheets into the mine to be installed The sheets were, it was thought, scurely lashed to the cage before the descent into the mine was begun. The men stepped aboard and the signal for the descent was given.
 Somewhere ebtween the surface and the ten hundred foot level the fasten. ings holding the sheets snapped. The shets fell back against the two men and -in the rapid descent, cutting them terribly The third man was fortunate enough to escape uniujured. At the ten hundred foot level the cage was stopped, when both Wykoff and McDougal were found unconscious and bleeding, lying at the bottom of the cage. Word was telephoned to the surface and another cage was lowered, the injured men brought up and taken in an ambulance to the c. & A. hospital, where four physi- ciahs examined their injuries.
 Wywoff's right ankle was broken. his left leg crushed, right shoulder broken and he was hurt internally. while McDougall had sustained g frac- ture at the base of the skull, his left hand was completely severed, his right elbow fractured and he sus- tained internal injuries also. The doctors stated that neither could live. Wykoff died two hours later and Nc. Dougall fingered until last night
 Wykoff was well known and had worked here a number of years. He was about 40 years old and lived at Bakerville. He is survived by wid- ow and three children. He came from Kansas, but previously worked in Colorado. He was member of the Yeomen at Elkton, Colo, and of the Odd Fellows at Victor.
 Relatives at Pittsburg, Kans., have been notified. His father, at Canon City, Colo, has also been wired and the body will be held pending word from him. The remains are at the o. K. parlors.
 The body of McDougal was removed to the Palace undertaking parolrs. Relatives in Oklahoma City, Okla. have been otified. McDougall was about 25 and unmarried.
 Earl Wykoff, nephew of William Wy. koff who Is dead as the result of injuries received at the Junction yes. ! terday, arrived in the city last even, ing from Courtland. Mir. Wykoff came in answer to a telegram and being the only relative of the dead man will take charge of his body.

.H0P| INDIANS RELIGIOUS YET
 KILL WHITE MISSIONARIES

among them was instructed by east ern charitable societies to distribute among his charges the quantities Of clothing and toys annually sent him. But, instead of doing so. he made the people pay for them in rare pieces Of their prehistoric and modern pot tery, and he sold the collection for s5,000 and left the country. Of course they learned about this in time and the knowledge did not tend to in- crease their liking for the white mans priests.
 The Hopis have never made war Ipon the whites. The only white men they, have kihed have been mission aries. They are probably the most deeply religious people in the world. Almost every act of their daily life has a religious. motive They even weave prayers into the designs of their basketry and paint them on their beautiful pottery. As soon as the lit tie children begin to have a glimmer of understanding they begin to teach them to love and reverence the gods. They resent any interference with these teachings; hence their hatred of missionaries, and of schools especi- ally, is deep and bitter and unshak- able. What they have most resent ed has been the arbitrary removal of their children to non-reservation schools, where the young are forced to attend the religious services of Christians. It is forbidden to teach religion to our children in the public schools. and yet we force it upon h. dian children in the government schools. What paradox that is!
 Let us alone. Leave us to tend our flocks and gardens, and worship our gods in peace" is the cry of the Hopi people. and in all fairness we should heed their prayer. We can do them no good. They are still a moral, virtuous, happy community of Natures children, and it is for us to say whether they shall remain so or not. They are better off without our civilization, for with that they must inevitably become tainted with it's vices.

DOUGLAS, Nov. 2e.-( Special )-
 In the light of the Associated Press dispatches of yesterday that the Hopi Indians are on the point of uprising the following from the Los Angeles Times as to these aborigines is of interest:
 The Moqui-or. more correctly, the Hopi-Indians of northern Arizona are the one American tribe which civili- zation has not succeeded in spelling and .despoiling. Their barren mesas and the dry desert surrounding them have never been coveted by the white man. They nave never owned fdrs or other valuable commodities, and so the whisky and other traders have always passed them by. They are to- day, as they have been for centuries, people sufficient unto themselves, asking nothing of us but to be allow ed to live their lives in their own way. We have it on the authority of Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, the eminent archaeologist, who lived with them for years, learned their language and was initiated into all the rites of their religion, that they are immeasGrably our superiors in morality. They do not lie, nor steal, nor islander. and their women are almost without ex- ception' modest and virtuous. Their little fields of maize, beans and squashes and their modest flocks of sheep are, as they always have been, sufficient for all their needs.
 What little contact the Hopi people have had with civilization has not been of character to impress them with its desirability. White men have stolen their sheep and ra1ded ana wantoniy destroyed their gardens. Not so very long ago more than three hundred of them died from an out break of smallpox-dicd so fast that the living could not decently bury them, and the bodies were thrown over the cliffs by the weeping and ment official had been warned when the first person fell i'll of the disease, but he would neither go himself nor send a physician to see if the report was true.
