FATAL INJURY OF
 LITTLE ANNIE WOOLF
She Died Yesterday Morning the Re suit of Being Crushed Under the
 Wheels Of a Loaded Wagon.

A most deplorable accident occurred on the Cave Creek road. mile and half north of the Indian school Thursday afternoon late. through which Annie D. Woolf. the 6-year-old daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. II. Wuoli. suf- fered injuries from which she died early yesterday morning. IL iS under stood the funeral will be held this morning in the parlors of Mohn X Driscoll.
 The little girl was crushed under the wheels of one of the big wagons em- plOyed in hauling gravel from the stone quarry to the new work on the Central avenue road. The outfit was a six horse team drawing q wagon and a trailer. each loaded with three tons of gravel The driver was a lover of chil- dren and in this instance was mfor- tunately too indulsent IL is said that the children along the way frequently climbed on the wagons. as children are wont to do and usually are allowed to ride On. this occasion the team was just passing the WOOlf home when lit tie Annie and several other children climbed on the wagon. In some way that probably no one could explain. the little girl lost her balance and slipped from the load to the ground, one wheel passing over the upper part of her low CT limbs. crushing them and breaking the bone in the left thigh That wheel or another one passed over d part Of her body sufficient to cause internal injuries. Though all possible vas done for her relief the little one passed away before the light broke yesterday morning
 IL may he predicted that the prac- tice Of allowing the children 10 ride on these open but loaded vehicles will immediately stop. so far as u obtains in that particular neighborhood and the little ones ought tO be restrained from it as much as possible every where. for accidents similar to the one here referred to are all too frequent

OCCIDENTAL LIFE
 INSURANCE COMPANY
lt Is Making Success of Putting Home Money Into Home
 Loans.

The Southwestern Underwriters 1 company Of this city. general agents for the Occidental Life Insurance company Of Arizona and New Mex
 leo is now busy shaking hands with himself and it's three thousand pol icy holders over their mutual good
 fortune and wishing the latter a happy and prosperous new year. The
 company enjoyed magnificent
 business during the past year. in
 fact during all the four years of
 it's life having had hut very few death losses and not a single one in
 Arizona. out of somewhere between 1900 and 2000 policy holders.
 Aside from the full assurance of sOlidity and safe insurance. the strong talking point of the company and its representatives. is that it is a home institution. In soliciting business it does not have to merely appeal to the sentiment of patron iZing home institution but has a mighty strong business argument to put forth. That is that the assets of the company are invested in the home country, in the land which furnished them. In proof of that attention is called to the fact that within the last sixty days the com pany has made loans in the Salt River valley. on realty mortgages. agGreGating over S100.OOO These mortgages are placed with the ter ritorial government to secure the full legal reserve required by the company.
 The difference is that if the same insurance had been written in some other company the premium paid would have been sent to some other state. wherever headquarters chanced to he. and there invested In this instance the policy holders have the insurance and while they had to pay Tor II their money was not carried off to New York or elsewhere but was left right here in Arizona where capital Is so greatly needed and is being used for the development of home industries
 Another thing to be said in hchair or this company that il has led the way m that respect as it is the first ana only life insurance cOmpanv operating in the territories that keens all its investment funds at work i'm the territories. That the people are notably appreciatiVe Of this fact is lhstanced by their growing natronae, or the company. Over s9 O00 060 worth of new business was written during the past year. the comnopv claiming to have S26O of assets for every dollar Of liabilities. and no overdue interest on loans. as shown by the books.

with discretion, and there is no
reason why the sight should fail
any sooner than any Of the other
senses. When we learn that most
people who are blind who have
some other serious eye trouble
owe their misfortune to some pre-
ventable cause, we get SOME idea
of how often the eyes are disre-
garded until they become incur
able. The stitch in time motto
applies to the eye more forcibly
than TO any other part of the
body.
In this unnatural age of hurry
and worry our brain and our eyes
do 1.-THE work of our hands. Edu-
cation, business and even recrea-
ton are mostly of an intellectual
nature and more of the strain
falls upon the eyes. Under these
disadvantages it is MO wonder that
the eyes begin to fail long before
they should. Many people use
the eyes to excess, and then won
der why they have trouble with
them. We all admire the person
who burns the midnight oil in
pursuit of knowledge, but we pity
him if, as too often happens,
his eyesight and his health are
ruined. Ill equipped for life's
hard struggle is the person whose
sole advantage is a massive intel
lect. Such aperson usually has
troublesome eyes, shopping Shout
ders and poor health.
To equip ones eyes Ito do their
work with the least possible strain
and labor is the only sure way to
prevent future eye trouble and in
sure good eyes in old age.
There r $50 many muscles and
nerves brought into service in THE
function of seeing that you should
exercise great care that each
muscle and nerve is relieved OF
any excessive strain. When x
aiming your eyes we leave no
ground uncovered. We fit each
eye with the tense that will give
that particular eye perfect ease
and oomfort.-W. A. Vawter, OPP

Study Carefully Before Going
to Polls Next Tuesday.

The voter upon entering the
polling place will ask the ballot
judges for a ticket of the political
party to which he belongs and up
on receiving the ticket he should
examine it and see il it has the
initials or names Of the two ballot
judges written on it with an in
delible pencil. He will then re-
tire to a booth and draw a line
through the names of the candi-
dates that he does not wish to
vote for and IL he desires he may
substitute the name of any person
of his political party for any OF
the offices to be voted upon. Care
should be exercised in case there
exists a vacancy on the ticket, to
place in the vacancy the name of
some good reliable man. After
the voter has carefully prepared
his ticket he should fold it so that

A New World Record

Ut remained for the Missouri
College of Agriculture at Column
bia, Missouri, to raise and develop
a Champion Dairy Cow of all the
world. Missouri Chief Josephine, a
Holstein-Friesian COW finished her
six months test ON July 18th, pro-
ducing 17,0OS.s pounds, an average
of 1874 pounds of milk daily for
1872 days. This is equivalent to
46.7 quarts or 11.6 gallons every
day. Her highest record for one
day was 1902 pounds. This re-
cord is the more remarkable be-
cause MO special preparation had
been made for this test and jose
phine has done her full duty in the
regular dairy herd of the Uni4
versity having had five calves. in
five and one-half years.
Not only has this record smash
ed all previous world records for
milk production, but the per cent
of butter fat is increasing daily,
sc that, barring accidents this COW
will undoubtedly produce more
butter during a period of twelve
months than any other COW that
has eve been tested in the world.
This COW is but one OF anumber
of remarkable cows owned by. the
University of Missouri and main
tained soly for the instruction of
its Agriculture and for investiga-
tional purposes. Only twenty Jer
sey cows in the history of the
world have produced more than
700 pounds of butter in one year.
Five Of these cows, or rs per cent
of the total number are owned
and were bred by this Missouri
institution. The College owns
more than 800 pure bred and reg
istered animals, belonging to II
distinct breeds.
Josephine's record exceeds the
present worlds record for six
months by 1853 pounds.

Jefferson City, July 22.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt will visit st. Louis
October IL and spend the day in
that city. He SO informed Cover
nor Hadley tonight by telegraph.
Whether his visit will be the oc-
casion of a political demonstration
OF a reception on the part of the
public generally will depend en-
tirely upon Colonel Roosevelt's
wishes.
1t was the original intention Of
Governor HadIey and the state
board of agriculture to have Col
onel Roosevelt visit the state fair
ait Sedalia early in October. Con-
siderable correspondence was car
ried on over this matter between
THE governor and Colonel Roose-
|yeIt. The governor first asked
Colonel Roosevelt. if he would re-
ceiye a committee of Missourians.
The latter wired back to know the
object of their proposed visit.
When informed, he said it might
not be necessary to send any COM
mittee ait all.
Today Governor Hadley received
a letter from Colonel Roosevelt in
which the latter stated that he
could visit Missouri October II, and
asking if this date would suit at
the fair. The governor informed
him by telegraph that the state
fair closes October 8, but that his
offer to be in the state October
II would be accepted for st. Louis.
