BED BUGS MAKE TIE
 FIREMEH MISERABLE
Therefore City VIII Purchase NeR Mattresses for Their
 Benefit

Bed bugs, which have occupied the attention of the firemen of the city fire department every night, occupied the attention of the city fathers for a few minutes last night. Chief Bar ney Norton described in detail the terrors Of a night in the firemen's quarters because of the pestiferous- ness of the bugs and ended his plea with a request that the city purchase six new mattresses, saying that all means of ridding the quarters of the bugs had failed and that the only rem edy lay in the destruction of the mat tresses and the thorough fumigation of the quarters.
 The chief suggested that the old mattresses might be used in the city fail cells, but the city attorney ruled that it would be unconstitutional, as it would be inflicting "cruel and un- usual" punishment on prisoners put in the city jail.
 Councilmen Allen and Quick were named as a committee to purchase new mattresses for the firemen.

STATE ELECTIONS ARE
 PULLED DEF QUIETLY
Result in Sonora Is Not Yet KnoWn-Race for
 Congress
Special to The RevIew.l

CANANEA, Son, Mex, Aug. 1-The state election held here Sunday was very quiet and everything passed of nicely. showing conelusively that the Mexican people know how to choose their officials without dictation.
 ID Cananea, Gayou, candidate for vice governor, received a total of IS votes. The race for that office was be- tween Morales and Bonilias, the former from tres and the latter of Nogales. It is difficult at this time to state just which of these two re- ceiyed the greater amount of votes, but it looks as if Morales is the fav- orite. Fronteras, Arizpe. tres, Quay mas and Hermosillo gave Morales good majorities, while Nogales went for Bonillas.
 In the race for congress. l. F. Pes quiera and J. Cordova seemed to have no opposition until election day, when the Talamantes club sprung Pedro Bracamonte and (. Lopez on the other club. The result is that the two latter candidates had a walk-away in Can snea. Reports from other precincts in Cananea municipality seem to point to the selection of Bracamonte and Lopez.

BUTTE SALOON GETS
 IN WRONG WITH LAW
City Marshal Instructed to Notify Saloon to Cut Out
 Pool Room

City Marshal Bassett Watkins was instructed by the city council last night to inform the Butte sa- loon on Brewery avenue and Broad way that if it did not immediate ly discontinue the practice of sell ing drinks to persons f. a pool room next door legal action would be taken against the saloon.
 The pool room is next door to the saloon and is said to be op- erated in connection with the sa- loon. The city attorney stated that in his opinion the practice alleged by the city marshal was a viola ton of a city ordinance and said that a bar keeper might not, under the provisions of the ordinance, sell, himself in person, drinks to a restaurant.
 Some complaint has been regist- cred against this practice on the part of saloons, it being alleged that boys of immature age were able to order drinks by going into a restaurant connected by a door, way with a saloon.

Hunt is rigidly standing pat, according to the Daily Globe, which makes the announcement that Mr. Hunts store nas withdrawn it's ad- yertising from the GiObe because that paper advocates the acceptance of statehood under the Nelson amendment in preference to no statehood. The GlCbe was estab Mshed to boost the political for tunes of Mir. Hunt, but obviously it has passed from his control.
 However, much Mir Hunt may wish to do the sensible thing just TOW. he finds 1t impracticabie. VIC suppose, because Of his political am bitions.
 Tn his candidacy for governor, which seems 10 be the result of a co7suming ambition, Mir. Hunt is re lying mainly upon the support oi the miners of Gila, Graham and Co chise counties. The miners want Tho judiciary recall above every. thing else. 30 thai jTdges. sherihs, presenting attorneys and in fact the whole machinery of the crim- hal law may be under their dicta- ton. We are finding no fault with the miners for holding this desire If they "caH get away with it ;hey could be foonsh to refrain from taking charge Of the courts end all tae machinery connected thcreWlth. And 10 view of thelr : experiences iE Colorado and else where lt IS not retnarka ble that they are taking a lively interest in Sd shaping the constitution and laws Of Arizona that they need have nothing to fear in this state from aav disturbances that may arise be tween mine owners and miners.

IDENTITY OF MURDERER
 SEEMS FULLY ESTABLISHED.

SACRAMENTO Cal, Aug. 1.-Sid- ney E. Cole, who shot Miss Anna Dud- ley to death on the street here Wed nesday and was himself shot and killed in the ensuing pursuit, vas identified today by Mrs. Carolina Ab- bolt of Lodi, after extensive search had failed to give any clew to his identity.
 Mrs. Abbott said that Cole, under the name of Emery, married her daughter Clare, but disappeared seven or eight years ago and that her daugh- ter. believing him dead, married again.
 This explanation, tEe police believe, clears up the mystery which arose when it became known that Miss Dud- ley lived in hourly fear of a man named Emery, but never had talked about any one named Cole.

graduated from institutions of learn ing more lawyers. doctors. dentists. teachers and preachers than are re- qulred. while the country stands in absolute need of attention by minds and men scientifically trained in all of the varied branches of agrlcul- ture.
 There is need of a course in agri- culture that will be complete and offer a term of study fitting the student to play an important part in the general development of the nation. With the advance of fri gation. dry farming methods. scien- ufic plant breeding. intensive farm ing. seed selection, soil physics and fertility. the various branches Of animal hus5andry and modern meth ods of water and rainfall conserve tion. the need of scientific training lis becoming more necessary.
 In this age of competition the combination of science with praeti- cal experience win help in a large measure to overcome the problems of crop uncertainty. which yearly oe- casions chaos and loss to the nation Instead of this condition, system of crop reliability ever increasing in usefulness and scope will be devel- oped by the colleges where agricul- ture plays an important part in the educational work. Arizona has been quick to realize the advantages of scientific agriculture and prompt to establish Q four-year course at its university at Tucson. which is per feet in completeness and which car ries with it the degree of D. s. The university is entitled to the hearty eommendation of the agricultural in terests of the country at large for taking this step, the effect of which win be of national importance.
 Why not have 6 match game Of baseball between picked teams from Douglas and Bisbee? Both Douglas and Bisbee are having ball this sea son, and in each city is local lea que composed of several teams. Now why not get these league captains together for match test ef strength? One game here and one in Douglas with the third in one or the other places would certainly bring all the fans and fanesses of both the Mule mountains and the Sulphur Springs valley for mighty time of roofing. Let US have this match game and all the fun we can i get out of it.

WOMAN'S CLUB MUST
 PAY TAXES ID CITY
Exemption Win in the Future Be Denied, Decides the
 Council

The Woman's club, an organiza' ton having club quarters on fash ionable Quality Hill and which has enjoyed tax exemption by courtesy of the county for several years, will have to contribute to the city s65 on the club building and on plano.
 The item had been marked "ex- empt' on the tax rolls by City Assessor J. J. Patten, but when the wise councilmen saw the $65 going by the boards they put on the of iicial eyeglasses, which see neither as through a glass darkly or through the glass lightly, and decreed that the word exempt be stricken, drawn and quartered.
 It is said that the cosnty ex- empts the club on the ground that it is a charitable institution, but Councilman Allen took a contrary view. saying that unless the primary purpose of the club was to dispense charity and unless the club house was used in furtherance of such d purpose. 1t could not be so re- garded.
 After the thing had been done last night, it was hinted by some that the county board of tax equal ization feared the political influence Of the women of the county and re- trained from putting q tax on the Woman's club property.
 But, as Councilman Quick said the city needs the money. so the councilmen put their chivalry in one pocket and the other one open ed to receive that S65 in tax money. Under the law, the clut ! can not be construed as a charita bic institution and could not bt | legally exempted from taxation.

 En an article published in the Sun set Magazine about year ago. Dr. Henry s. Prichett, president Of the Carnegie foundation. pointed out the disadvantages Of dividing a state un- iveTsity and showed that the great state institutions were centralized, while such states as Oregon and Missouri were far behind in educa- tional work largely because of the fact that their state universities were not located at. one place. Ari- zoaa has made a good beginning. Thsre should be no deviation from the present plan. It is to be hoped that pr. Wilde will not fail to con vince some of his own faculty that any division Of the university Is not to be thought of The univcr- sity must be kept intact. fl the best results are to be obtained.

WHAT A QUEER TEXAS IT WOULD BEL

- "O0-1 oGs
 Apparently Texas came so near going dry at the recent election that many people began to feel cold thirsts run up and down their sys- tens It was only by narrow mar gin that the state remained in the wet column.
 But suppose it had gone the oth- CT way. What a strange. unreal sort of Texas it would have seemed particularly to the man who has never been there! What a wealth Of legend and Of local color would have been plotted out cn the instant A Chicago paper paints the fantastic picture as follows:
 Imagine a Texas in which the cowboys, with their broad hats and chaps" amble innocently and quiet Iy into drug store and there par take of such effeminate drinks as chocolate. cream sodas and lemon phosphatesl
 Just try to think of Texas as a state in which the ginger-colored, mescaI-desiring Mexicans are forced by a hard and unsympathetic law to wash down their red-hot chili and tamales with nothing more con soIing than water from a rusty hy- drant or a lemonade from the near est stand.
 Fancy, If you can, Q Texas bad man," who is compelled to keep his badness up to the standard gauge on the pale and eneryatng prescrip- tions of a mild and esthetic dispeE. ser of soft drinks working in a tranquil drug store!
 Again. think of the great heat and excitement and interest that would go cut o1 Texas gubernatorial or senatorial election if the passions of the conrerding sides were nnurished on principles instead of straight whiskey, on cold facts instead of cold beer!
 Furthermore. how could the pa riotic Texan celebrate fitly the glories of his native state-exult sui fcienuy in the thought that it has the right to be divided up into four separate commonwealths-when his mounting spirit had to mount with no more aid than the average drug store is prepared to furnish?
 Of course, Texas has the right to go dry if Texas wants to. It has a perfect right to break with ali bibu Ious traditions and make cold water the official drink of politicians, bad men, citizens. Mexieans and casual visitors.
 There is no law which requires 9 state, that has long had in It's keep ing the most interesting traditions of Wild westerndon, to maintain one of the principal ingredients O. that state of civilization long aftel all the spirit. the sincerity the en thusiasm have gone out of it.
 Lovers Of the Wild West. as it Il veraoiously pictured in the tales 2 Bret Harte. Mark Twain and others could not reasonably demand tha Texas should sacrifice any inelina ion it might happen to have in or der to enable them to feel tha somewhere the yestiges of those oi' heroic days were being sacredly pre- served regardless of expense.
