innocent person. Nor is it expected that the full proof will be available in all cases where crookedness ls known to exist, but it is confidently expected that sufficient evidence can be found to convict the guilty men on some of the many charges made against them.
 A hypothetical case will illustrate the methods said to have been em- ployed in mulcting the private citi- zen with left hand while the right hand was busy trimming the county John Doe, a regular employe of one of the mines, flush with money on pay day or any other time for that matter when he had money, and more often than otherwise a Mexican ignorant of what was being done to him, would yield to the lure of liquor and be arrested for drunkenness, disturbance of the peace or some other misdemeanor charge. He would be told to appear in court at a certain time, but that he might go for the present on putting up five, ten or twenty dollars, as the case might be, in accordance with the gravity of the charge, as a bail bond. In most cases the money would be forthcoming and in most cases the culprit would never return to court, preferring to lose his bond rather than take chances on a jail sentence, which would cost him his job. This money. it is charged, would then be divided up by the parties to the conspiracy.
 Meantime, John Does having paid and passed out, his name was carried on the records as a prisoner for what of tCr. deemed safe, when he would be marked off as having served his term and a bill would be presented to the county and collected for the imaginary meals MT Doe would have eaten had he been in jail. This was where the county looked like easy money.
 It was learned at the office of Act ing Governor Young yesterday that on request of Graham county people. sup ported by a stack of affidavits of i'm posing magnitude, the acting governor sometime ago sent C. T. Willis of this city. an expert accountant, to Solomonville to inspect the county rec Ords and report, presumably to the court or the grand jury. MT. Willis report, if it has been made, has not yet been received here, but it was also stated in official circles that whether MT Willis discovered Irregularities in the records, he would undoubtedly be able to furnish from the records data that would lead to the discovery of crookedness by comparing them with the outside testimony of men who were supposed to be in jail when it could be shown by the records of their em- ployers that they were at work during the same time. The books might be well kept and balance perfectly, and yet the criminality have occurred by which both the men arrested and the taxpayers who settled for the meals they never ate were directly affected in the region of the pocketbook

noon and help to boost your favorite as far towards the top as possible.
 A message received from the man. agement of the Hotel Potter at Santa Barbara yesterday says that the im- mense hotel is nearly filled with tour ists from far and near, and winds up with the terse statement to the Boston Store party: Come on in; the water is fine" This sets one to thinking of the grand trip these five young ladies will have. Leaving nere at 4:20 p. m, they will connect at MaricOpa with the Southern Pacific and arrive at Santa Barbara the next day, Sunday, in the evening They will then repair to their suites of rooms at the world famous Hotel Potter-each suite with private bath and all the luxurious con- veniences that million dollar hotel con- tains After removing the dust of travel and freshening up a bit they will be just in time for dinner in the grand dining room with the most eX- pensive chefs and most carefully drilled walters west of Chicago to serve them with the best the mar ket affords.
 After that a grand concert by the band and then sweet, peaceful sleep, undisturbed save by the wash of the Pacific ocean directly in front of the hotel
 Then one solid month with not a care in all the world except as to whether they will spend their time on the ocean, in the surf, or in the Santa IneZ mountains, which form most beautiful background for the Potter.
 All kinds of sports await them. Golf, tennis, automobiling. fishing, driving, bathing and lots of good hunting close by in the mountains.
 Truly, no girl in this city or coun- ty can afford to miss at-least a. '-try for this grand vacation with all eX- penses paid.
 All one has to do is to get her friends and her friends friends to buy at the Boston Store from now until July 9 (when the contest closes) and save her their sales slips The girl casting the | largest number of ballots in each dis trict wins a trip and the girl having the largest number of all the contest ants wins the grand prize which en- titles her to the choice of chapeTon (whose expenses will be also paid), as well as a complete travelling outfit to the value of $100, consisting of such goods as she may see fit to select. Remember with every dollars worth of goods you purchase at the Boston 1 Store you get 100 votes and with a | S1O purchase you receive a ballot for | 5000.
 Buy your goods at the Boston Stores | biq Mid summer Clearance Sale. You'll save money for yourself and boost for your favorite at the same time.
 Money on any purchases will be in stantIy refunded if for any reason whatever you are not perfectly satis- fled With your bargain. Now is the time to get busy.

GRAHAM CO. SCANDAL
 GRAFT IS ALLEGED SPECIAL GRAND JURY INVESTI- GAPING CHARGES AGAINST
 OFFICIALS.
Story of the Trimming of the Tax
 payers and the County Prisoners.

Though it has been known for some time that a special grand jury had been called in Graham county by Judge E. W. Lewis to investigate charges of al- legged graft in that county, until yes terday the nature of the charges, the supposed methods employed and the alleged victims and culprits were not made known here until yesterday. It was known here that Judge A. c. Baker of this city had been called to Graham county a week or two ago at the in stance of the Detroit & Arizona Cop per company on some matter of more than ordinary moment and it vas also hinted that the graft charges were in connection with county officials. It now transpires that the alleged ir- regularities are laid at the door of one or more justices of the peace, a con stable, a jailor. deputy sheriff and in 8 general way. other county officials who are supposed to have either par ticipated or had a guilty knowledge of what was going on.
 The victims of the alleged graft are the taxpayers of Graham county on one hand and on the other hand many employees of the mining companies, which were instrumental in securing Judge Baker to assist the district at- torney in ferreting out the crooked ness, their interest being partly tho protection of the county funds, but more for the protection of their em- ployes. It is said that the cases under investigation are many, at least over hundred, and that the money inn properly secured aggregates several thousands of dollars. It is not desir- able to use the names of suspected par ties until indictments, which are daily expected, are returned by the grand jury, that no injury may be done any

WHO ARE THE MOST POPULAR
 GIRLS IN MAR|COPA COUNTY?
The Big Popularity Contest at the Boston Store Will
 Decide-Only Two More Weeks Till the Finish.

When the final count of ballots is made two weeks from now the people will know who the five most popular girls in MaricOpa county really are.
 This contest is a genuine test of popularity because naturally the most popular contestant has the most friends working for her and so on down through the list.
 One thing no contestant should do, however, and that is to be Over-confi- dent, as many girls who are nowhere near the top of the list at present have innumerable friends boosting for them and saving the sales-s slips to be voted perhaps at the last moment.
 In fact the last day of the contest may change the standing of all the contestants so the only thing for everyone to do is to keep right on working, no matter where your name is on the list.
 This advice will be remembered with regret at the finish if you do not take heed.
 There is absolutely no one in any way sure of winning this contest, and the best way to do is to keep con- tinualIy at it."
 Remember, the candidate turning in the greatest number of votes this week gets the $1O steamer trunk, which in itself is a prize worth winning.
 As stated in yesterdays papers, the entries will close on Saturday, June 18th. and after that date no person will be allowed to enter the contest. > This rule will be strictly adhered to and the manager of the contest will make no exception whatever-everyone in this contest from start to finish has been treated exactly alike-nO one re- ceiving favor except what other can didates can likewise have any time.
 MT. Corbett, the manager of the con test, as well as MT. Dulmage of the Gazette and MT Sims Eaton of The Republican, who have charge of the counting of votes, deserve great cred it for the harmony that has existed all through the contest, not a hitch having taken place anywhere. as ev- cry detail was carefully worked out before the contest opened.
 These gentlemen wish it announced that every ballot has been carefully filed away for reference and can be seen ana cneckeu up Dy any one So desiring after the final count.
 The book containing the various counts that have been made since the contest started will be open for in spection after the exact numbers of the votes are announced tomorrow morn ing. Any one wishing to examine this book can do so by simply asking the young lady at the contest department. She will be pleased to show you how the candidates have gained from day to day and week to week.
 The Boston Store closes at noon to- day, Friday, so if you wish to get your votes in for the special announcement tomorrow do your shopping before

vERAcITY OF THE BIBLE
Skeptic Must Be Con-
WINGED.

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem, and, in
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper sense of the sanctity
of the location and Of the events that
have TRANSFERRED there, and that is the
more than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
us today as having been associated
with the life and work of the Saviour
and other events that enter into the
structure of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts of them,
as furnished us in the pages of the
Holy Scriptures. They agree with
them in every respect and it is i'm
possible, after carefully considering
and comparing them, to doubt their
identity, SO exactly are they in accord
with the Bible narrative.
The work in the fields, the arrange
mept of the buildings, the very arti-
Giles of diet and clothing of ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the
doings and surroundings of today. In
deed, where modern methods have not
become obtrusive the manners and
customs of the people remain much
the same as in the days of the pres
ence on earth of the Saviour. Be
tween the descriptions given in the
Bible of localities, climatic and geo
graphical conditions, distances, etc,
of these times and those of today
there is hardly any discrepancy. Even
a skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative, cannot but be con-
WINGED of its veracity; to the believer
it comes as wonderful conviction
a satisfactory confederation or en-
enlargement to see things as those
who described them so graphically
saw them so long ago.-Columbian
Magazine.

Stepmother of Mint JULIEN.

Romance and poetry have delighted
to weave garlands with which to cele-
brate and perpetuate the glory of the
blue grass in old Kentucky, famed for
its fine horses, beautiful women and
mint.
Kentucky has been designated as
the homo of the mint julep, and its
COlonels have become famous all over
the world for the easy and graceful
way in which they drink whisky with
little dash of sugar and a sprig or
two of mint in order, chiefly to over
come the necessity for a large amount
of water in the beverage. The true
Kentuckian doesn't want his whisky
drowned
1t transpires, however, that the real
home of the mint and the mint julep
is right here in Missouri, whose crop
of mint last year amounted to 1858
pounds, or enough to make 1,224,320
juleps This amount includes the mar
keted product only, no account having
been taken of the countless thousands
of juleps which were compounded dur
ing the year with a base of the undi-
luted moonshine whisky that never
paid cent of taX.-St. Louis Star
