The reduction of the enormous fire
waste of the country, now amounting
to $250,0O0,000 year. lies in the hands
Of the American public II it can be
brought to realize the enormous drain
these preventable fires involve upon
the national wealth, the hundreds OF
lives which are annually lost and that
carelessness in one form or another is
chiefly responsible, they would check
the waste by encouraging individual
and municipal responsibility for Sc
curing better conditions, The average
man apparently believes that the pres
ent proportion of fires in inevitable,
Just as our forefathers believed that
plaques and epidemios were inevitable
The latter were prevented because the
people individually and collectively
were finally induced to give heed to
proper sanitary rules. The epidemic
of fires could be reduced as easily if
the people individually and collective
ly would give heed to proper sanitary
rules. The epidemic of fires could be

HOW WILL YOU voTE2

With majority of nearly a hundred,
in the city at large. the democrats
should have no difficulty in electing
a. full ticket at the general election
tomorrow. The ticket, in the main, is
strong, and the experiences Of the
past should convince voters of the fall
lacy of turning the reigns of the city
government over to the republicans at
this time. A look into the past will
show that nearly all of the public inn
provements in Vinita were built or
contracted for under democratic ad-
ministration. yinita Is now on the
Threshold of her most prosperous era
and no stumbling block should be
thrown in the way of her progress.
Let's take a step forward not back
ward
Every man on the democratic ticket
is a progressive. The majority of the
present city council is democratic and
progressive. Every one of the hold
over couneilmen are democrats and
at best the republicans can hope to
elect but two members at tomorrows
election. Thus the election of repub-
licans to other city offices would throw
the administration out of harmony and
perpetuate the disgraceful political
wrangles that have marred the pro-
ceedings of the last two years. The
duty of every good citizen is to vote
fur the best interest of the town. When
you go to vote ponder that question
well. The republicans have shown a
spirit of non-progress The democrats
have demonstrated their belief in pro-
gress. Vote for the good of Vinita.

respects to the people of Santa Cruz County as well as to my self. Doubtless he has flooded Santa Cruz County with this pamphlet in which he says that he gave bond in the sum of one thousand dollars, not to return to said County for the period of one year.
 My object in writing you is to explain that he is under a thOuS- and dollar bond not to return to Santa Cruz county, said bond remaining in effect until he has been discharged by the Super intendent of the Territorial ASy- lum for the Insane.
 In case he should return to your county, you will understand the situation.
 All that is necessary is to place him under arrest and re- turn him to the Institution. Such expense as is incurred, will ne- cessarily be paid by the bonds men.
 It is almost needless for me to add that so long as I am Super intendent of the Asylum, l will never discharge or release him or release in any way, his bonds men.
 Very Respectfully,

CARL HAYDEN, CANDIDATE
 FOR CONGRESS.

If Carl Hayden goes to con gress Arizona will have a re- preventative of the true Arizona brand. Born in Tempe, Ari- zona, October ?, 1877, he has spent his whole life on the soil and in the atmosphere that spells freedom and makes men great.
 His father, Charles T. Hayden, was one of the best known men in Arizona. Some claim he was the original progressive in the territory. He looked carefully after CarPS education in the public schools and the Tempe Normal, and delighted when Carl chose the initiative and re- ferendum as the subject for his graduation speech.
 After leaving the Tempe Nor mal Carl Hayden finished his college work at the Stanford university. Leaving there in 1900 on account of the death of his father, he took active charge of many business interests his father was carrying on at the time of his death.
 Carl Hayden'S first entrance into politics was as town coun- cilman of Tempe. He was one of the leaders for a municipal water plant, which was put into operation, and the success of the same has been one of the strong est arguments in similar fights for municipal ownership in other oitinS of tho fn1,1.if0Pu

 He is proud of the work done by the democrats in congress and he craves the opportunity to join them and assist in putting into practice the great policies and principles of government so long fought for by the national democracy, and so ably eX- pounded by those leaders of true democracy, Champ Clark William Jennings Bryan.--Phoe- nix Sun.

HELD Wife With
RATTLE SNAKES
Jealous Husband Kept Her In The
House With Reptiles-KiIled BY
Own Continuance.

= Punlsutawney, Pa, July 13.-James
Steiner, mountaineer, was found
dead beside a bridge leading to his
home in the hills near here. Near
him were four rattlesnakes, fastened
by thongs to the rocks. He had
been bitten to death. A party of fish
ermen killed the snakes and from the
mans wife, in the cabin across the
stream, they learned that the dead
man had tied the snakes there be-
cause he was jealous and feared his
wife would have visitors in his alb
sence.
For five years Steiner had kept
snakes in the little brige, the woman
said, and she had never left the place
in that time. She said her husband
became insanely jealous after she ac-
companied him to a dance and had
allowed other men to dance with her
The next day he procured the snakes
and told her she would never leave
the house while she was his wife.
= He came home intoxicated. she said
slipped at he bridge and fell among
the snakes.

The WOMAN Who
TEACHES CHICAGO
Some of the Things Accomplished BY
Ella FIagg Young In
One Year.

A little more than a year ago it
was announced Jnar woman, Ella
Flagg Young, had received the ap-
pointment of superintendent of
schools in Chicago. This office,
which is rewarded with salary of
ten thousand year, is, next to that
of superintendent of schools in New
York, the highest prize in the educa-
tional world in America. 1t has been
more coveted than the presidency of
any college or university. 1t carries
with it more power, more distinction,
more opportunity than any collegiate
office in this country.
That this power, this great oppoi-
tunity, should have been bestowed
upon Mrs. Young is all the more re-
markable when it is considered that
few high prizes in the educational
world have hitherto fallen to women
But that is not the only tradition
which was violated by the appoint
ment of Mrs. Young. For example
there is tradition, practically
amounting to a rule, that superin
tendents are not developed out of the
teaching force. A candidate, in or
der to qualify for a high educationa
office, must have been for a long time
removed from the school room. Alst
he must be imported from a distance

is able in short time to accomplish

blame for the danger in which the pas

which founded last Friday off the Cali

Captain J. d. Faria, of the wrecked

to the removal of the Santa Rosa's
passengers were merely in the nature
of suggestions.
