Bitten by a Skunk.

While he slept in his tent on his
mining claims in Lost Gulch near
Globe, George Bowen, a we'll known
mining man was bitten over the eye
by bydrophobia skunk. In attempt
ing to discover what had attacked
him, Bowen was again bitten on the
right thumb, a severe laceratiop.
Bowen left at once for Ell Paso to un-
dergo Pasteur treatment in an affort
to save his life.
Some time during the night Bo ven
was awakened by being bitten over the
right eye. He attempted to brush
the intruder away, but the skunk
caught him by the thumb, sinking his
teeth deep into the flesh. Tho wing
the animal On the floor, he trampled
on it in an effort to force it to release
its hold. It wos more than five
minutes before the skunk withdrew
its teeth from the member. Bowen
then caught the skunk by the tail and
beat it to death on the foor-Daily

ARIZONA ELkS SPECIAL.
Plan to Take Trainoad of Antlered
Herd to Detroit.

The Elks lodges of Arizona will
probably CD operate in securing suf
ficient representation from Arizona to
insure Detroit convention, says the GA
zette. Communication between the
lodges iu Arizona makes that plan
look as good as settled upon.
Z. B. o. Neil, one of the trustees of
the lodge, stated that If a special
train, with appropriate decorations.
could be sent to Detroit that the ad-
vertising that would be given Ari
.zona would work thousands of
dollars. One of the biggest adver-
tisements Arizona ever received was
the Elks' delegation frozh Arizona at
Los Angeles last year. That it would
be equally beneficial to send a train
east is certain, and more attention
would be attracted throughout the
middle west by special from All
zona than any amount of literature
that cauld be distributed through
hundreds of railway or land agent

Can't Bring Drawn Work From
Mexico.

Hereafter tourists returning from
Mexico will not be permitted to bring
cutios valued at more than $40 The
rule here to for has been that 500 in
value would b, passed free of duty.
This will prevent tourists bringing
across duty free such goods as drawn
ware, other than such as can be worn:
sarapes, pottery and many other little
trinkets.
The new rule limits the goods which
can be brought across under the SlOO
exemption rule to "articles which are
in the nature of personal adornment.
toilet articles and similar personal eff
fects, and which are necessary and
appropriate for. the purpose of their
owners journey"
The word necessary and sppro-
pirate for their owners journey" are
the words which are TO be more strict
ly construed. aud Collector of Customs
Dowe, of E ,gle Pass. who is in San
Antonio, says that the proper inter-
probation of this rule will naturally
apply to bar drawn work in the shape
of napkins. table cloths, sarapes pot
tory, leather goods. baskets and many
of the other trinkets which are usually
purch sed.
In the way of drawn work such
articles as handkerchiefs. shirt waists
made up and other such articles as
are without doubt for personal adorn-
meut will be passed up to the value
of 500 as has been the case formerly.
Of the goods barred by the ruling
only those valued at a total of SO
can be brought in. The returning
tourists can still bring in fifty cigars
and one hundred cigarettes.

HOT OLD YUMA.
Sentinel, Thirty Miles Away. Gets
First Prize.

The Phoenix people who are kick
ing about the heat, really have cause
to congratulate themselves and be
happy. The following clipping from
the Yuma Sun forces one to believe
that the Capital City with a measley
l12 degree temperature should be adj
vertised as q summer resort:
Monday was the hottest day known
in the city of Yuma since the white
man settled here, certainly since the
weather bureau was establised more
than thirty years ago. The official
high mark registered by the govern
ment Thermometer was 100. Hoti
Well, 1 guess. At that there was no
suffering and the average Yumaite
did not complain. There were no
prostratIons and neither man nor
beast was any worse for the day.
Sun day the temperature climbed up
to us. At Imperial Junction at the
same time it was l19. at Ogilby 119
and Gila Bend H. There ia one good
thing about this hot spell. There are
no mosquitoes and probably will not
be any of them this season as the hot
weather sings a dirge to them. The
housefy has also folded his tent and
d-p,rted for the summer resort. While
it is very hot in the day time it is
,easona oily cool at night
with all this Yuma was not the
hottest place on the map. F. L. Sellew,
who was at Laguna dam, reports that
the temperature at that summer re-
sort was 1913 and train men brought
10 word last night that the thermo-
meter at Sentinel, which is eighty
miles from Yuma. was l3l, which is
a bout the limit"

Why He Stopped Short.

In Indianapolis they tell story
OF certain attorney to explain why
he quit drinking so suddenly says an
exchange He had patronized one
saloon with great IiberaIity for years.
Lately the proprietor bought a house
aud lot and employed another lawyer
to examine the abstract for him The
steady patron, the exchange goes on to
say, when he heard it. went after the
proprietor rouehshod, demanding to
know why business favors were not
exchanged when there was an oppor-
tuuity. Why did the saloon keeper
turn away from his own customer and
give business to a man who never
bought anything from him, nor any
other saloon keeper? The saloon keeper
was amazed at the complaint, he
thought the explanation ought. when
I've got business" he explained with
child like hlandness. Il want it done

torney, too, thought it was plain
enough. His friends say he hasn't

 First Elector-James L. Carhart. Second Elector-Walace Jackson. Third Elector-W. H. Gilmore. Maude Adams appeared before bril- liant audience at the Jefferson theatre last night in J. M. Barrie's comedy, what Every Woman Knows" Always winsome and charming, Miss Adams has achieved another truly notable success in the kind of play which Barrie knows so well how to write. In its subtilty, in it's delightful humor and in its quaint character drawing, What Every Wom- an Knows" is truly yo"Barriesque." Miss Adams is given role in which her womanliness and exquisite charm of manner are given free play. As rule, Miss Adams plays herself. but 1t is such a .delihtful and winning self that probably an admiring public would not have matters otherwise for worlds Briefly What Every Woman Knows" tells the story of wife's devotion to a husband whose overweening con- | fceit leads him to believe that he is a strong man. She takes him in the rough, after one of the queerest mar riage contracts ina ginable is drawn up, and by her efforts makes him power in English politics. He, chump that he is and unregenerated by the light of truth, preens himself on his success and takes unction to his soul in the thought that he has won success un- aided. while his modest little wife hovers in the background writes his speeches, gives him the finesse he lacks and smoothes the way for him at every turn. He is ambitious and sincere, but he is also stupid, obstinate and aston. ishingly vain.
 Having arrived at the stage for such thoughts to creep into his mind, thi! wife made husband begins to long fol an affinity. He thinks he has found her in the person of a rather shallow | woman of the ultra set, to whom h, gives the credit for inspiring his bril- liant speeches. The wise little wife sends the fatuous two away to ge enough of each other. Their futile at tempt to write speech which would Init the spot ,'sas 1t were. having proved a miserable failure, the wife arrive. opportunely on the scene and the hus bands eyes are at last opened to hii l own unworthiness.

COAST HOMES RUINED

Tampa, Fla, October 26.-Further de- tails today of the last weeks hurri- cane ravages In a position of the ever glades and Ten Thousand Islands sec- ton of southern Florida indicate that many square miles were inundated by tidal wave of tremendous force. The captain of the Everglades schooner Eureka said today that the tide dur ing the period of the storm rose IF feet in one hour. This thrush in many cases swept inhabited points bare of every vestige of human habitation, de- posting in inaccessible swamps, homes, household goods and what little food the water did not ruin. A few cabins, which were swept inland on the crest of the wave. were carried out to sea with it's outflow. The outrush of wa ter was even more dangerous than its inflow, for it often travelled with mill race force, carrying its victims straight toward the open sea, where the possi-' bility of rescue was almost nothing.
 Sailing vessels form almost the only method of communication with the stricken section, making 1t slow. work to secure details.
 Supplies for the destitute who are said to number hundreds were today rushed aboard the Eureka. The board of trade began business canvass to raise both money and supplies to fol low the Eureka in other vessels The Eureka will stop first at MarcoA |

Report From Key west

Key West, Fla, october 26.-Only two lives are known to have been lost in the Ten Thousand Islands, off the gulf coast of Florida, as a result of the recent hurricane, according to statements of the crew of the schoon- CT Mayflower, who were brought here hv the schooner Florida. The Mayflower was dashed to pieces on Plover's Key Point where 1t was anchored. The crews of both vessels were forced to seek shelter all of one night in trees to escape drowning in the great waves which swept the isalnds. The dead were A one-armed man named Curry and small child of Mrs. Josephine Harding.
 According to the sailors the wrecks of four large schooners and number of smaller vessels were seen on the shores on the way from the islands to Key West, but there were no signs of the sailors.
 No definite idea of the loss of life can vet be obtained, but 1t Is be- lieyed to have been heavy as all the islands were under water. At Choko- losk kee. lit is said, no houses were de- stroyed. but at Flamingo and other points not a dwelling of any descrip- toin was left standing.
