CAPTURE sa,ooo IN OPIUM.
Custom Inspectors Seize Two Men
 Alleged to be SmugaIers.

Three thousand dollars worth of opium and two alleged smugglers who had the goods in two suit cases, were captured in Tucson at the office of Wells, Fargo & Co.,, at Il o'clock Wednesday morning.
 The prisoners are an American, Frank Lees, who is said to have been going by the name of Martin, and Mexican, Jesus Hernandez,
 There were 80 cans of opium in the two suit cases, valued at from s35.0O to $4O.OO can.
 Custom Inspectors Trace Opium.
 The two alleged smugglers were seized by Harry S. Creighton and H. A. Smith, customs officers, who had come from Nogales on the trail of Lees and Hernandez The two men seized were later formally ar rested by Deputy United States Mar shal Don Willetts and landed in the county jail here.
 Find First Clue.
 Several days ago the two customs officers arrested an individual at No gales and captured 20 cans of opium They suspected that the prisoner was one of several smugglers and their investigations gave them the knowledge that two suit cases sup posed to contain opium had been ship ped by express from Nogales to Tue son. The two officers came to Tue son and immediately located the suit cases in the Wells-Fargo express of ice and then set up a vigil, watching for the persons who would call for the baggage. At II o'clock We'd nesday Leets and Hernandez called for the suit cases, were accomodat- ed and then captured. The officers took the luggage and the prisoners to room in a hotel, opened the cases and found 80 cans of opium The customs officers then called for Deputy Marshal Wiletts to make he formal arrest
 The prisoners will have hearing before Commissioner Dunseath Sep ,ember 13.
 Lees, the white one of the two, is said to have been known in Fl Paso by the name of Martin and it is said by officers in the marshal's office that he is believed to be a member ,f the smuggling gang long operating in that region.

ACTIVITY AMONG THE
 CLIFTON PROGRESSlVES.
(Contributed.)

At the meeting of the officers and Advisory Committee of the Clifton Progressive League held at Library Hall last Wednesday night, it was de- cided to hold a public mass meeting on next Friday evening, September 9th. A committee on arrangements was appointed, consisting of Ralph Ellis, Rev. c. H. Love and l.. P. Ba- ker. MT. A. L. Cummings of Morenci, who attended the Progressive Conven- tion in Chicago as one of the dele gates, was invited to deliver one of the addresses of the evening. The Secretary reported that the member ship of the Progressive League had more than trebled in less than two weeks. An important resolution pass ed was to the effect that the Advisory Committee and chair must O. K. each and every bill BEFORE the money was paid out by the Treasurer. This secures the open approval of IA men as against the old party method of having the bills paid by one or two men, who through such a method vir- tually become the bosses of partv mana cement

:n-chies of Salvation Army. Dies After IIlnesa of Twelve Weeks,
 Septic Poisoning Is Cause.

LONDON, Aug. 20-General Will IF m Booth, commander n-Chief of the Salvation Army, died at 10: 30 tonight He was born at Nottingham in 1929 The veteran Salvation Army leader was unconscious for forty-eight hours before his death Medical bulletins had not revealed the seriousness Of the generals condition, which for a week, it is now admitted, had been hopeless.
 Twelve weeks ago General Booth underwent an operation for the re- moval ia cataract from his left eye. For two days after the operation in- dications gave hope of his recovery Then septic poisoning set in and from that time, with the exception of occa- sional rallies, the patients health steadily declined. The general recog- nized the end was near and often spoke of his work being finished.
 Throughout the Commanders ill., ness his son, Bramwell Booth, chief of staff of the army, and Mrs. Bram- well Booth gave their unremitting at tention to him.
 The aged evangelist died at his resi- dence, The Rockstone," Hadleywood, eight miles from London, where he has been confined to his bed since the operation. Present at his bedside when the end came were MT. and Mrs. Bramwell Booth, their daughter and son, Adjutant Catherine Booth and Sergeant Bernard Booth, the generals youngest daughter, Commissioner Mrs. Booth-Helberd, Commissioner Colonel Kitching and pr. Wardlaw Milne.
 Question of Successor.
 Public interest now centerS on the question of the successor to the late Under the constitution of the Salvation Army the general nominates his successor. This Booth did several years ago, placing the name in a sealed envelope, which he lawyer with instructions not to be opened until after his death. Though nobody knows what name the envel- ope contains, the general belief in the army is that it will prove to be Bram we'll Booth, who for thirty years has been chief of staff.
 When General Booth will be buried nas not been decided. While every English member of the Salvation Army is convinced that no man is nore worthy of interment in West ninster Abbey, it is not expected that his honor will be awarded Booth by he Abbey authorities. It is the gen. ,ral belief the commander-in-chief's ast resting place will be alongside lis wife who, twenty-one years ago, ! vas buried in Abney Park, Stoke, | NeWingtOn.

LEGAL QUESTION |S RAISED IN
 COGH|SE C0.
State Officials Hold Prisoners From cochise County Should Be Return ed To Tombstone for New
 Sentence.

4 peculiar situation has arisen in cochise County with reference to the sentence of prisoners who nave Lee . found guilty and judgement passed fo- penal sentence in the state peEi.en tiary at Florence
 Last week Idge Sutter sentenced in regular form, seven prisoners n one ycar each at Florence Wh, n the prisoners were deliverada rIc<- ti"n a:cae on legality of the commit ment law having been passed by the state legislature calling for intern- mate sentences and same made effec- tive August 16th
 Under the new law no definite time of sentence must be fixed by the court, as the term is left open between the minimum and maximum time fixed for each offense, the prisoners sen tence being subject to action of the pardoning board any time after Ser vice of the minimum time.
 The state officials held new sen tence would be necessary for the Co., chiSe prisoners in order to comply with the new law. Just here Judge Sutter passed back another legal poser that is calculated to upset the order,at least as far as applies to the Cochise sentences. It is embodied in the simple fact that the crimes were committed before the new act became effective, hence the old law governed and Cochise county thus saved a needless expense of about $500 to re- turn the prisoners here merely to com ply with a legal technicality.
 Judge Suffers contention is based on ample legal authorities and is both good logic and common sense. The legal point discussed by attorneys here upheld the view of the court and the constitutional expost facto prin- ciple of law.

OLD DOMINION.

The advance in OIL Dominion to 60, which is. the highest price at which it has sold this year, was accompanied by reports that the dividend will again be increased at the next regular meet ing of the directors. Producing g. 500,0 pounds of copper a month at a cost of but slightly more than cents pound, the company is at pres ent showing earnings of nearly $S share per annum, as compared with dividend requirements of only $4 share. Besides this, the company is strong in working capital, so that it could easily afford to make the next H~Crta~iT C'r're1l e1 .r0 s.ara.

JUDGE SLOAN FAILS
 OF CONFIRMATION.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Many in- portant appointments made by Presi- dent Taft during the last few months were left unconfirmed when congress adjourned. Among the more import ant are those of Judge Richard E. Sloan, Arizona, Major General w. w. Witherspoon; Brigadier General John McClermond; Judge Clifton W. How ard, of Washington More than sixty appointments as postmasters were left uncOnfirmed
 Of the judicial nominations not acted upon, that of Sloan, of Arizona, was vigorously opposed by Arizona senators. Many weary hours were spent by the senate in executive ses- sion hearing arguments of the opposi- tiOn to Sloan.

The advance of the reDel forces into Sonora, which is apparently being overrun by an increasingly large num- Der, is being watched with foreboding by the butchers of Arizona. If they will hold off for a month it will be possible to secure enough cattle from Sonora to give ample supply to con sumers for an indefinite period Should the rebels prove successful in their effort to get a foothold, in the immediate future, the meat situation will prove a serious problem. The above statement was secured from John True, the Bisbee butcher and cat tie buyer. MT. True stated that every stockman in northern Sonora is mak- ing desperate efforts to round up his stock and ship it out in the immedi- ate future.

JUDGE SMITH ISSUES WRIT AGAINST
 BOARD
Mandamus Proceedings Institut- ed in Yavapai Tax Re
 ductiOn Case
HEARING SET FOR TUESDAY

Judge Smith, presiding over the sn-
 rerior court of Yavapai com-y. last
 Tuesday, issued an alternative tempor- aly writ of mandamuS against the
 county board of qualizaticn of Yava- pt.i county, commanding them forth
 with to show cause why the amount
 of tax valuation, reduced from the
 duplicate tax assessment rolls of the
 county, should not be replaced forth with The writ was issued following
 the refusal of the county board to com
 ply with the demand taken to YaVa-
 pal county by MT. Bullard on Mon day. The hearing upon the writ of mandamus will be heard before Judge
 Smith in Prescott on Tuesday next.
 It transpires from thorough inves- tigatiOn of the tax controversy that Yavapai county, in reducing the tax valuation arbitrarily, following their to the state board of equalization, stands alone. It was thought in off cial circles that Cochise had made even greater reductions than had Yav- apai, but this proves mistake. The county board of equalization did re- duce the valuation upon certain pat ented producing mines within the county more thanS2, 100000 for county purposes alone, but did nothing with the state valuation.
 This being the case, the losers in Cochise county are Cochise county cit izens themselves,as the state will re ceive the full benefit from this county of the valuation as fixed by the state board of equalization for state pur poses. In Yavapai county, however, the county is twice the loser. The board of supervisors there sitting as equalizers, went further than Cochise
 ,ty a11f+ 0ef +I0 frnr the duplicate rolls for both state and purposes. This will mean to the county of Yavapai that it will lose some $3,000 from the state road fund, l the taxes up there will be increased, l every citizen having to pay more, the l only institution benefiting by the ar being the United Verde 1 the fabulously rich copper camp operated by former Senator Will | liam A.

INSPIRATION.

The Inspiration management is still engaged in receiving and considering plans for the 7,500-ton mill There has been little change in the mining de- partment up to the present time. It would require mucn more time to prepare the mine for production than it would to construct the mill. In the mine at least two haulage levels will be opened up and many miles of drift ing and raising will have to be done before the mine will be ready for pro- .;IC-tiOu

Interesting. They grip our attention
because they are so unusual.
MIR. Fitzwilliam's life reads like a
romance His father was profession
al trapeze performer. and the lad was
brought up in the environment Of a
circus canvas. His youthful training
can therefore be easily imagined. His
mother died when he was but nine
years of age. His father at once began
training him for the profession Of u
trapeze performer. Young Fitzwilliam
was doing the thrilling midair stunts
before he was twelve years of age.
His next twelve years were full of
the deepest privation. Through them
lie maintained himself in tremendous
struggle to break into better things.
At length he got to school. then to
college. then out into the world again
to find his place.
He found 1t. No more sawdust ring
