Electricity For Stains

There seems to be no limit to the
uses to which electricity can be put
In the household.

ness it up into a first rate maid of all
work and making it do everything,
from washing the clothes to rocking
the cradle. or they would II they had
cradles In these up to date households.
But one of the newest use to which
= electricity has been put is that of a
speedy spot remover.
A technical magazine says that a new
electrolytic bleaching apparatus has
been invented which enables a woman
to remove within two or three minutes
n accidental stains from articles
such as ~tableeloths. lace, embroidery
work. etc. Tea, coffee, wine. fruit, ink
of any color, may all be effectively and
inexpensiveiy removed within a few
minutes. and above all, the electrolytic
method does not destroy the fabric OF
the article treated.

Facts About Giants,

That very few Of the giants who
have ever lived have been healthy or
we'll formed recent researches prove
beyond a doubt. All we know about
Goliath is that he was very tall, but in
the second book of Kings we read
about another giant, who had more
fingers than an ordinary human being,
and, according to modern scientists,
this is invariably a token Of degen-
eracy. Marcel Donral saw at Milan a
giant who was so tail that his body
filled two beds at night, but whose
legs were so weak that he could hard
ly stand upright. William Evans, the
gigantic porter of Charles l.. had little
strength, and Cromwells porter, an
other giant, ended his days In u luna
tic asylum. Finally, o'Brien, the Irish
giant, has been described as d encr-
nous sick child who grew up too
fast" .-..

LOWER RATES
 ON INSURANCE
 ARE POSSIBLE
Local Agents Making Effort to Decrease Expense Be- cause Numerous Public ln1- pr0VementS

An effort is being made by the To- cal insurance agents to secure a low ering of the insurance rates for this city. and it is very probable that the agents will have something to an- nounce within the near future.
 The request for lower rates is based on the improvements in the fire pro tection system. the development of water and the opening of roads to va rious parts of town where it was i'm possible to get with the fire fighting apparatus until these road improve ments were made.
 In the greater part of the town the insurance rates are the same now as they were before the present splendid fire fighting equipment was installed and the tanks and pipe lines put ia. The agents have taken this matter up with the board of underwriters and all the many strong arguments in fa- vor of the requested reduction have been laid before the board.
 It is very probable that one or more members of the board will visit this city within a very short time and go over the situation for the purpose of making a report.
 Rates have been lowered in the bus mess part Of town from time to time and on certain buildings, but these reductions were made because of some structural change in the buildings and not because of installation of the new fire protection system.

REGISTRATION ID

WILL CLOSE TONIGHT WITH ABOUT ELEVEN HUNDRED VoT- FRS HAVING QUALIFIED

The registration for the coming constitutional election closes tonight in all the precincts of the territory and those who are entitled to vote and have not registered, have but a few hesrs left in which to secure their vote at the coming election.
 Within the past few days there has been a rapid increase in the registration in this city and it is now expected that when the regis tration closes tonight Bisbee will have a total of HOO voters on the new register. Last night Justice Burdick had a few short of 200. Jus tice High had 514 and City Clerk McKeehan had about 300 names, making in all about 1000 names. All the registration officers expect that there will be a rush to get regis tered today by those who have put it of until the last minute.
 In the Lowell precinct, including Warren, the registration up to last night amounted to 500. which will undoubtedly be increased today so that the total number of names from the whole district in the new regist- CT will be at least 2000.
 Those who registered in 1908 are not required to register again.

.ElkS' AUTO HOME;

3. p. O. E. MACHINE BADLY USED UP IN TRIP TO DE- TROfT

The automobile which was driven from Bisbee to Detroit by William Fer guson who was accompanied as far as Chicago by Dr. Baum and to De troit by Robert Newcomb, is back in town. It arrived by freight Sunday and is at the depot in the freight room.
 The auto was known as the EIks' Special, as it was the intention of the party which it carried to get to De troit in time for the Elks' national convention and to represent the Bis bee lodge in the convention and to drive the big machine in the parade.
 Owing to bad roads and other un- ioreseen troubles inc party did ont arrive in time for the convention by many days. The trip was a hard one. as is shown by the condition of the automombile. When 1t left Bisbee it was spick and span. shining with bright varnish and the metal work polished, now the machine looks as though it had been run through all the mud in the coutnry and had been in collisions and had suffered other mishaps. Many of the parts were re- paired and the hood over the motors was cut open on both sides to give better circulation of air about the en- zine.
 The paint is badly worn and many of the metal parts are rusted, show ing the effects Of the wet weather through which many miles of the hard trip was made. The car left here a thing Of beauty and it returns decid edly the worse for wear, although
 when all the tires are on it it is saiT | in good running order.

There is now very good reason to believe that the E. P. & s. ". company will soon begin the exten- sion of it's line to the westward. En- gineer Charles Henning has q party engaged in making surveys along the present line to straighden out some of the curves and to get the road in several places on higher ground. This work. it is under stood, is preliminary to building the extension.
 Two routes have been surveyed, one west to Tucson and one northwest through the San Pedro valley into the Winkleman country. From what can be learned at this time the route west eb Tucson is favored, par ticularly by Professor Douglas.
 No definite time has been set, as far as can be learned, when the new construction is to begin, but there is very good reason to believe that 1t will be started within the near future.
