Imitation is the Sincerest Flattery.

Here the company had just completed the
installation OF a battery OF Montague
mailing machines, run by electricity and
used in mailing the Sovereign Visitor
and the Woodmen News, both fraternal
publications. These machines cost So, 900
and were leased, so that the loss will un-
doubtedly fall upon the company that
installed them. They are insured and
while they are badly damaged It is
thought they can be rebuilt, but this
cannot be determined until they are ex-
amined by a factory expert, who will
have to come from the east before an
estimate of the damage can be ascer-
talned.
on the third floor was also kept the
mailing lists Of the two fraternal pub
locations named. Most OF these lists are
completely destroyed, but as the sub
scribers are almost entirely Woodmen Of
the World, the names OF subscribers can
be secured from the head offices Of the
company.
Bindery IL Destroyed.
The second floor OF the east half of
the building was occupied by the A. 1.
Root company as a blndery. At the
north end the fire broke through the
floor and worked it's way pretty well
up to the front, destroying an immense
quantity OF paper and printing stock, as
we'll as the ruling and binding machines.
The first floor, was occupied by the
offices in front and. back of these the
composing room and still farther back,
! the three linotypes. Fire did not reach
this floor but everything was soaked
with water Here was also a large
amount of paper stock and many UNI
finished jobs, all ruined by water.
The basement was occupied as a press
room, and everything that could be in
jured by water was pretty badly dam

installed. The issue had just been run

Root company had on hand about a car

BLACK PLAGUE IS CONDEMNED
Judge Crawford Expresses Wish that

Eight women forfeited bonds to escape
Justice, five cases were continued, one
negress was discharged, and two were
fined Sl5 and costs each.
Swarms of negro women are engaged
nightly in the form of robbery that has
come TO be known as the black plague, /"
which is system best known and prac-
tioed with abandon almost wholly by
women OF this race, Seventeen OF them
were rounded up by the police last night,
and more arrests are to follow.
| The crusade was precipitated by the
attack made by two dusky females OF
! C. W. Kruger, who was slashed down
the back with a razor. Close upon the
attack came the robbery yesterday of a
Kansas City travelling man. who was
relieved sof $500. The following women

TWO DEPARTMENTS ADDED ID UNIVERSITY
.-s5 ssssA Courses in Electrical Engineering and Agriculture Will Be Introduced.

According to an announcement made last Saturday by President 4. H Wilde, the scholastic field of the University of Arizona will be broadened by the addition of two new departments. which will be opened the coming fall Electrical engineering and four years course in agricul- ture will be the two additional courses, and with these two important subjects taught in the university it will more than ever be adequate to filling the need of state institution.
 The object in introducing the course in electrical engineering at this time is to furnish thorough instruction and practical training in applied electric ity and allied subjects. The course does not start properly until the students junior year. but a course in electricity and magnetism may be elected in the sophomore year. Prof. w. w. Wheeler and E. A. Snow will give the course. It will include ele- ments Of electrical engineering, dy- -namo- electric machinery, electrical machinery. electric traction, electrical engineering laboratory, design of electrical machinery and apparatus, electric power station design and a sanitary course.
 The course in agriculture will be given by Prof R. W. Clothier and Assistant Prof. w l.. Fowler It will embrace a wide variety of studies from plant culture and farm crops through dairying. market gardening to soil physics. pomology, citrus cul- ture. poultry and animal husbandry.
 These new courses are given in corporation for the first time in new register of the university which has just been issued. A new feature of the register is that it includes a detailed statement of courses ar ranged somewhat in the form of diagram, for the convenience of stu dents in choosing their work each year
 The list of accredited high schools of the territory has been increased from eight to ten. and in addition the Latter-Day Saints academy. Thatch CT has just been accredited so that its students may enter the university without the usual entrance eXamina- tions.
 The requirements for degrees have been generally readiusted and inn proved.

Who Carried Good Tidings of the
 American Game To Cuba.

At this period of our advices it be-
 is unlikely you have failed to hear of the message to Garcia, and by the mes sage to Garcia is meant the message to Cuba. and the Cubans. For this service, a certain Lieutenant Rowan is general ly given credit, but as a matter of fact this rendering is erroneous. Frank c. Bancroft carried the first message to Cuba, and all the world should know the true facts. Oh, of course, Rowan may have been the bearer of dispatches to the island south of us, but this hap pened at a comparatively recent time, and the message had to do with mili- tary matters merely. Who cares for that? The really important tiding, the baseball message, was carried Cuba long before Rowan's day and Frank C. Bancroft did he carrying
 Bancroft. in his home town of Ian caster, Mass. ran an entirely recOm- mendable hotel. catering to the best of family trade and placing it's proprietor on a local pinnacle which fitted him for the really imporant work which later was to bring him lasting fame. After being graduated from the hotel business, Host Bancroft turned his tal- ented attention to the worlds work, and without any more ado went ut and or ganized the New Bedford team. In the olden time. New Bedfrod was 2 whal- ing community, and the New Bedford baseball team as fathered by Banny was a whale. Well, to show just how big a proposition it was, it won the championship of the state, and after that Bancroft was the Busy B. The Hop Bitters team was of his making and in 1879 season there was Bancroft and there was Hop Bitters and the train was pulling out from the station in the little Massachusetts town, and when the boys got off they stepped on Louisiana soil, and the New Orleans sporting public gave them it's kind at tentiOn. After the conquest of the Creole. Bancroft and his gallant blades moved on to Cuba, and there was some ball playing. Cuba had been worrying along for some centuries content with the innocuous delights of Jai Alai. bull fights and revolutions, but it remained for Bancroft to plant the seed of a hardier sport in the breast of the na- tive son. and never since that day has there been any question as to the fla vorite pastimc of the brown brother.

PRIMARY ELECTION
OF Circuit Judges on Wednesday
March 1st

The coming primary election to
nominate circuit Judges is the first ev-
er held in this County. Under the
former system these officers, like all
others, were. named by delegates in
caucuses and conventions. At this
primary each elector is entitled to cast
vote on the ballot of his party for
his choice of Circuit Judge.
No democratic candidates have filed
petitions and hence the ballot will not
containN the names of candidates of
that party. There are three Republi-
can candidates, Judge Eugene +. Law,
Harvey Tappan and John B. McIlwain.
Each elector is entitled to vote on the
ballot of his party for two of these Re-
publican candidates. Two candidates
will be named. the two receiving the
greatest number of votes. Enrolled
republican electors should realize the
Importance of the duty cast upon them
and turn out next week Wednesday
March 1st., and take an active part in
choosing the men who are to act as
their Circuit Judges. The electors of
this county have never performed a
more important duty.
