MRS. HERBERT AsQUITH.

MRS HERBERT AsQU1TH.
for the poem was that Mrs. Asquith
and her husband We're t%raitorously try
ing to wreck the Liberal party.
Some time after the appearance of
the poem there was gossip that Mrs.
Asquith and her husband we're to sep
arate.
Mrs. Asquith before her marriage was
an especial favorite Of Mr.. Glad
stone, and her influence in society was
such as to gain for young women a
much less restricted position. In spite
Of her disturbing freedom in society
she counted leading statesmen, men of
literary, scientific and musical fame,
In her train, and her appearance in
the gallery Of the house of commons
gave zest to whatever debate was on
hand. She was the creator Of a semi
mystic, semi-literary society called the
Souls, and, with Arthur Balfour as her
lieutenant in the movement, she gath
cred some Of the best minds in Eng
land about her.
In time the newspapers came seri-
ously to chronicle the doings Of Miss
Aargot Tenant as they would those
Of the queen and the prime minister,
and when the irate conservatives in So
ciety were at end of all patience with
the gay, clever, sarcastic little Philis-
tine she overturned all their predic.
tons by giving her hand in marriage
to n of the ablest and most serious
young politicians, Mr.. AsQuith.
As If to prove the infinite variety OF
her talents, Mrs. Asquith for several
years settled down at once to the du-
ties of wifehood and motherhood and
showed as marked a capacity for these
graver callings as for the highest
frivolities.
Mrs. Asquith is the third daughter of
q wealthy Scotch mine owner, Sir
Charles Tenant, who made a vast
fortune out of the Tharsis copper mine
In Spain. Her brother Harold was for
some time private secretary to Mr.. AS.
Quith before she became Mrs. Asquith.
She is a dashing horsewoman and can
take the most difficult jumps when fol-
lowing the hounds, during one of
which she fell and broke her collar
bone.
When she married Mr.. Asquith he
was a w1dower with several children.

heir to be of Mr.. Hawley. Mrs. Gran.
dell, then Miss McAanus, was a tele-
graph operator in the employ Of the
Southern Pacific. Young Crandell fell
madly in love with her and she with
him. Miss McManus was working in
Mr.. Hawlcy's Offices in New York.
When Mr.. Hawley learned of the love
affair he called in his nephew, lectured
him and then ordered him to give up
his sweetheart. Crandell refused and
was discharged. He married Miss Nc.
Manus and never saw his uncle after
ward.
Crandell admits that if his uncle had
left a will his name would not be found
in the list of the beneficiaries.
The Crandells say that they are hap
py at their good fortune because Of
the benefits it will enable them to give
their five children.

BORING FOR WATER.
Combination Of Dug and Drilled Wells
DANGEROUS,


Almost any community in which
wells have been drilled can boast of
a number Of combination dug and
drilled wells. The owners congratu-
late themselves on their wisdom in
utilizing an old dug well fifteen, TWEEN
ty or thirty feet in depth and drilling
through the bottom of this to a good
flow Of deep water. The cost of drill
ing that twenty or thirty feet has been
saved, certainly al economy worth
considering. AS a matter of fact, this
combined dug and drilled we'll is a
particularly dangerous type. 1t may
readily breed malarial fever or even
in the country than wen in the yer
crowded cities, in spite of the supposed
pure water supply of nearly all farm
ing sections. Such a well is all the
more dangerous because it Is fancied
to be safe. Although the water en-
countered by the deep we'll may be
perfectly pure at the start, contamina-
ton may take place almost immediate
~ by the entrance, especially after
rains, of seepage water into the open
we'll and thence into the casing Of the
drilled well. The remedies are OBJ
vious. Either the casing should be
carried to the surface Of the outside
ground, or at least above the highest
level ever reached by the water, or the
open we'll should be converted into a
water tight system nv aDDlying a thick
coating Of cement over both sides and
bottom.-United States Geological Sur

Cuba as an Iron Producer,

The shipments Of Cuban iron ores,
according to statistics collected by the
United States geological survey, show
the record breaking output for 1910 OF
~1,417,914 long tons rs against 93O,44G
tons for 1909, the greatest previous
production. In 1900 the production was
446,S72 tons. The ores are obtained
from deposits near Santiago. Cuba
Is now the fifth largest producer OF
iron ore in the world, being exceeded
only by the United States, Germany,

Strange Way in Which Sheriff Adams

IL turns out that Sheriff Jeff Ad- ans is something of an impressionist and it due to that characteristic that J. T. Howard and E. H. RouW find themselves in custody with. u prospect of becoming honor men at Florence
 These are the young men whose names were mentioned by The Re publican yesterday in connection with the supposed theft of d couple of horses from the Cowboy corral. They had hired horses there on Fri day of last week and when they had Tot been returned on Saturday night it was suspected that they had been ridden out of the country. for in the meantime il had been learned that RouW and Howard had raised money on fictitious checks had beaten st board bill and had secured possession of some jeWelry belonging to young lady. It was also stated that the sheriff on Saturday night or early Sunday morning had had some sort of information that the young men had gone toward Maricopa and the

 This is the uninteresting part of the story that has already been re- lated. Now, here is the strange and human interest part of it. On Sat urday night the sheriff retired at a Late hour as usual but he could not sleep. His mind kept running on the duties of his office and in the course of his ruminations he came upon the case of Rouw and Howard. They ought to be caught and the sheriff determined to see if they could not be though he had no idea in which direction to start after them.

 |S GRANTED
The Corporation Commis- sion Authorizes the Transfer of the Overland Go. to the Mountain States Tel. and Tel. Co.

] After considering since Saturdav 1 the Overland with the Mountain 1 States Telephone and Telegraph com
 pany, the state corporation commis- l sion yesterday issued an order sane tionlng the sale. As previously stated the consideration for the Overland
 property is s432 900.
 ! The essential features of the order made by the commission are as fol- lows:
 The Overland Telephone company IS engaged in the telephone business in the counties of Maricopa. Yavapai. Coconino, Navajo and Apache. with an authorized capital stock of s1.OOO.- 0OO
 The stock was divided into a mill lion shares. of which slightly more than 545,000 are outstanding There are $314,O0 in bonds. The other liabilities of the company are about $115.000, all of which are due. The interest rates are from 6 to 10 per cent
 For the past year the expenses of
 the company were *107,0OO and the
 revenues were s1O2, 900. This loss of 5000 does not take any deprecia : ton into account. The company has paid no dividend and it is said bv the commission. after a full investigation. that it's charges for service are made quate and are improperly classified The commission finds that the op- eratfon of d dual system is burden some and not calculated to produce the best results. And from all the evidence it finds that the sale of the Overland to the Mountain States is likely to result in substantial benefit to the public.
 Upon the conclusion of the sale. however, the Mountain States com panY is ordered to make such inn prOvements as may be necessary and to complete the consolidation by De- Cember l next; that the plans of con- solidation shall be filed in the office of the commission. and that such con- solidation work shall conform to the plans.
 One important part of the order is that the Mountain States company shall. wherever required. remove all poles and overhead wires and place the wires in underground conduits While it is said the rate charged by the Overland Telephone company is in many instances inadequate to the maintenance of a proper service. the order contains .a provision that there shall be no change in rates preceding | the actual consolidation of the two companies.
 Representatives of the Mountain 1 States company express their entire | acqujescencc in the order of the com miSsion which they say is reasonable ! in every respect. and which they will 1 endeavor to meet in perfect good 1 faith
