THROWING AWAY RAILROADS.

Every time of the Gould family has
disasso~ieFed himself from active management
of of the properties left by the famous
jay Gould. there have been homiles preached
on t,e way this vastly rich family has thrown
away its Inheritance OF power in the railroad
world. Thus the passing of George Gould from
active management of the great Missouri Pacific
system was hailed in newspapers and ma ga zine
articles as showing how by neglect he had per-
mtted a magnificent property to go to wreck
and ruin. Now that Edwin Gould has retired
from tho presidency of the st. Louis South
western. there will probably be renewal of
this sort of talk
All of which Is. in sense. unfair. Where
were the Goulds. born to the purple of riches.
supposed to get the special knowledge and the
peculiar genius necessary to successful railroad
management? Certainly not by inheritance from
their wizard of father. Because Jay Gould
acquired railroads, it did not follow that he
knew how them. Because he welded
together systems with the power Of stock and
bond 1nesse did not mean that he knew any
thing. either Of the broad principle or the
complex detail OF their operation. Because
in stock exchange fight. he could emerge
with the scalp of another's railroad at his belt
it did not mean in any sense that he was
superior to that other in taking care Of the
property. Az result. he left many railroads
to his heirs but he left them neither the neces-
sity the inclination to play with transpor-
+ tation companies one moves the
chessboard. did he leave them the in
stirctive bent of rehabitating properties that.

And that thing Of exterminating the fly Is

This lis matter which should not only make
appeal TO the common of city authorities.
but should also put them to work before. in
stead Of after. the annual invasion OF the armies
OF flies. As understand the fly question. the
killing of one NY early in the season-better
still the destruction OF the stored eggs before
they are hatched-is better work than the de-

It Is candor to say that much needs to be
done toward the cleansing of Richmonds
streets. There is too much dust. too little at

DR. H. K. BEAUCHAMP
 RETURNS ID PHOENIX
Spends Six Months In East Taking
 Post Graduate Surgery.

Refreshed by the change of scene and the pleasure of meeting old time friends, Dr. H. K. Beauchamp, former ly one of the leading medical praction- CTS of Phoenix and latterly until April l, one of the best superintendents ev- CT in charge of the Arizona asylum for the insane, returned yesterday with Mrs. Beauchamp and Miss Emily Kieckhofer, a niece of Mrs Beauchamp from a six months sOjourn in the esat. As soon as the doctor secures suit able offices he will resume his practice in this city.
 While pr. Beauchamp took advant- age of his presence in the east to visit his old home in Ohio, he spent the greater part of the six months he was away in post graduate studies. He en- gagged in this work in New York and Chicago, and later went to Rochester, Minn, where he placed himself under Drs. Mayo and engaged in post graiu- ate study of general surgery. The clinics were held in St. Mary's Hos- pital of that city, of which Drs. Mayo are the heads.
 Before Dr. Beauchamp went to the asylum as superintendent he was en- gagged in general practice in this city and also held the office of city phySi- elan and health officer to which Dr. w. H. Sargent succeeded upon the ap- pointment of Dr. Beauchamp to the asylum position

 rail and had not been in an automo- bile for months. He had not been at San Jose for three years. He had not traded autos with Daniels or any body else.
 Fiske answered the description given by the San Jose circular In reply to questions by Deputy Sheriff Woolf. Fiske said that he had never used any of the aliases mentioned in the circular.
 When asked if he would return to San Jose without requisition his re- ply was evasive. He said that he would not until he had been shown that he had been guilty of some of- fense and that he denied. He was told. in that event he would have to be ''mugged" and his photograph would be sent back to San Jose Fiske is a handsome young man :, of gentlemanly appearance and is evidently well educated.
 He told Daniels when he first met him that he and Estabrook were con- ing to Phoenix to work on a weekly paper which was run by Wllllam
 ! Durham whom Fiske said he knew. l Though Durham had long since left here they went to work on the paper ] soliciting subscriptions. Fiske made ! that a profitable job. Yesterday he 1 took the subscription of man work ing on the ranch of Dan McDermott' north of the city. The man had no 1 money and he gave Fiske an order ] on MT.
