under the head of Sporting News, announced
a benefit bull fight, as follows:
Harper B. Lee, the one great American ma
tador, arrived in the city last evening for the
corrida extraordinaria de benefcencia, organ
lied by Ell Heraldo Mexicano, which is to be
held at the local plaza Ell Torco this afternoon.
In the tight today Lee will be the first and
last time this season in the capital city of Mex
leo. He will kill one of the big Sinkehuel
bulls in the fight of this afternoon, probably
the sixth on the program.
The other matadors for the occasion are
Vincente Segura, Rodolfo Gaona, Ell Serio
Lombardini, Lopez. Rodarte and Luis Freq A
large assembly of banderileros and picadors
will enter the ring in the grand entrada but in
the fight only those who compose the regular
cuadrilla of the different matadors will be in
the ring.
Twenty-fiv of the younger society ladies of
the city will act as queens Of the occasion and
will distribute the ribbons and honors to the
matadors during the intervals between each
bull.
Most of the palcos will be occupied by the
diplomatic corps, the army officials and their
families. There is a probability that the Pres
ident and Mrs. Diaz will also be in attendance.
Eight bulls from the renowned Yucatan
hacienda, Sinkehuel, will be the animals used
in the fight. All the animals arrived in the
city early last week and are in extra good con-
dition.
The copy Of the Herald received here had
this announcement marked and we wondered
If our Belfast people intended to witness it. 1t
appears that they did, and were disgusted. In
writing home Mr.. Chase criticised the affair
| severely and said he had seen all he wanted to.
Mrs. Chase writes: II went and am ashamed of
it. Before l could get out one horse and a bull
were killed. 1 never saw or dreamed of any
thing SO brutal. It was for the benefit of
widows and orphans The patronesses were
the queens of society and they were driven
around the arena in carriages. 1t was gor-
geous spectacle before the fight began"

MADISON-Frank E. Smith of Mil
waukee, employed on the capitol by
the Waukesha Structural Steel com
pany, in the presence of a breathless
throng of 5000 people, unfurled the
American flag from the top of the cap
itol dome. and then fell 265 feet to in
slant death. AS the Memorial day pa
rade turned westward On State street,
Smith started to climb to the top Of
the steel frame of the dome to straight
en- out the flag, which had become tan
gled around steel post. Thousands
watched him as he slowly made his
way to the highest point on the new
statehouse and unfurled the flag. Slid
ing down the guy ropes, he slipped
through a plank platform, but momen-
tarily saved himself by catching one of
the pIanks' with one hand. Several
times he tried to throw his leg around
a eirder to pull himself to safety, but
his strength was not equal to the task
and he crashed through the steel struc-
ture, his body banging against the CIR
ders as it was hurled through space.
The great crowd was horror-strlcken
at the sight The body was horribly
mangled. Smith leaves wife and
three children
MADISON-Miss Ada James, the
president of the Wisconsin Equality
league. announced that the league was
planning to make vigorous state
wide campaign to have the Woman's
suffrage bill passed by the legislature
ratified by Tie voters at the next gen
eral election in November of next year.
She said that the society had re-
ceived assurances of support from
prominent leaders of all political par
ties and she believed the prospects
were favorable for ratification OF the
bill Her father, Senator David James,
was the sponsor of the bill in the leg
islature. The referendum provision
of the bill requires that it be submit
ted to a vote of the electors at the
regular state election next year, which
will be held on Nov. 5.

conditions warrant Beyond the state
ment that the wage scale is no lower
than before the disagreement and that
in the future all difficulties will be set

and Mr.. MacWillie, nothing was given
out.
SUPERIOR-That the reciprocity
measure is losing strength every day
while awaiting senate action and that
it will not pass the upper house until
amended according to the demand OF
the progressives, is the belief of Con-
gressman Irving L. LenrOot, who is
spending a week at his home, but who
will return to Washington to vote
when the wool schedule comes up. He
predicts that the measure will not
come to a vote inside of thirty days.

LOWER PHONE RATES
New York Commission Says Company
Must Reduce Its Charges.

A cut of phone rates between New
York and Brooklyn srom 10 to cents
after Aug. /, and similar reduced rates
between other parts Of the greater
city have been ordered by the state
public service commission. The tele-
phone company will lose S1,2O0,000 a
year in revenue as a result.
Figures submitted to the commits
sion by the company show the value
of it's property is s110000,00O and the
net earnings S10,750,000. The reduc-
ton in revenue will leave net earn
ings of S.6 per cent.

The Mahon joint resolution calling
upon congress to make postmasters
act as censors to see that no cam
paign literature is distributed in this
state in violation Of the Wisconsin
corrupt practices act was adopted by
the lower house Without this pro-
lection from the outside it would be an
easy matter to upset some of the pro-
visions of the corrupt practices act.
The senate refused to concur in the
Crowell bill, authorizing state banks
to qualify as repositories of postal
savings. The federal law requires
state banks to put up certain securi-
ties to qualify as such repositories
Senator Whitehead Of GAINESVILLE said
he believes state banks should be per-
mitted to become repositories of these
funds because it would tend to keen
postal savings in the communities,
depositing them and thus benefit such
communities. Senator Bosshard OPP
posed the bill on the ground that it
made the federal government a pre-
ferred creditor of bank and would
tend to lessen the security now af-
forded depositors of such a bank.

Because so many matters Of great i'm

serious nature in connection with his
election. The resolution will be up
for adoption in both houses next

SUBDUED BY DEPART
MENT.

Yesterday afternoon the citizens
of Tonopah responded to a general
alarm of fire and found the blaze
to be in the rear of the Beckley
saloon, formerly the Original Pack
age The fire threatened for q
few minutes to assume large pro-
portions, as the neighborhoo6 is
filled with frame buildings, and
the fire department, in getting the
call understood it to be Beckley's s
residence, and made dash up Main
street. Discovering their mistake the
department turned back and made
fast run, connecting with the
hydrant in front of the Mizpah ho-
tel and the blaze was quickly sub
dued with the chemical nozzle
Two lines of hose were also run
by the volnteers, but were not
needed. Fortunately there was no
wind at the time and the fire did
little damage.

Judge Sanders appeared before

BIG FOUR LEASE
LOOKING BETTER

In the south drift on the 300-foot
level of the Big Four Leasing syn
dicate's lease the round of shots
fred at noon Saturday disclosed an
ore body of from four to five feet
in width which will run from SIS
to $50 per ton. The point of this
discovery is about under the bottom
of the winze that was sunk from
220-foot level and in which such
high grade values were recovered.
This proves this one ore shoot
to be at least so feet in length, and
with 80 feet of backs will yield
tonnage of ore that will aver
age better than $50 to the ton.
Arrangements have been perfect
ed to start a mill run of 1000
tons at the War Eagle mill as soon
as the present run of 800 tons from
the Bath brothers lease is finish
ed, which will probably be about
the middle of next week. Post
