An able exchange sees the problem Of
the hour in the correct pronunciation
of the name Of Col. Cocktails. While
We are about it, suppose we find out the
correct pronunciation Of few other
prominent names. For instance,
Cortelyou, Loeb, Brandeis. And II
everybody could learn the correct pro-
uunciation OF that name most often on
the American tongue-frequently short,
eued into Teddy-it would somewhat i'm

EPIDEMIC IS NOW A
 THING OF THE PAST.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Prescott's typhoid epidemic which gripped this city over two months ago is now completely a thing oi the past Sixteen cases Of the dis ease were treated by the local phy- sicians and not one death occurred.
 When the first case was report ed in October no alarm was felt It was the first case of typhoid discovered in this city within three years time But when seven cases came to thes notice of City Phy- sician Southworth within almost as many days, the official became alarmed.
 Before the source was traced. six teen cases in all were reported. Tn many instances. the victims fought superhuman battles before the dis ease was conquered But one of the victims is now attended by d physician and this case is report cd out of danger.
 The epidemic has been productive of better consequences as well as bad. When it was discovered that the source of the epidemic traced back to a milk dairy, q general cleanup was ordered. City Physi- clan Southworth threatened the ar rest of all milkmen violating the city ordinance When he made his second inspection at the end of 8 days, he found conditions greatly improved.

YAVAPAI COUNTY IN
 TIME FOR NEW ROADS
(From Wednesdays Daily)

(from w edneSdayS Daily.) ' Assurance is advanced by the proper officials to the head of the Arizona branch of the National Highways Association that next year Yavapai county will be sub stantially remembered in the money derived by the government from the sales of forest timber. So cer- tain is the appropriation that those in a position to do so are planning the building of road between Flastaff and Camp Verde.
 Last year, over $20,OO0 of the for est money was spent upon the con- struction of a road between Flag staff and Williams. A road from Flagstaff to Camp Verde would be an acceptable asset to the road system of Northern Arizona, con cedcs T. c. Norris, head of the Arizona branch.
 Word has been received from the headquarters Of the National High ways Association that the list of Arizona officials elected at the re- cent meeting in Phoenix, has been received. The headquarters will furnish the State association with q special letter head and all sta tionery necessary for office use. This is one of the benefits derived from the amalgamation of the Ari- zona Good Roads Association with the larger organization.
 Within a few weeks, says MT. Norris, the organization will inaug urate active yet conservative plans for further operation of the asso- citation in the State for the pur- pose of bringing all road construc- ton to one standard and to employ and continue one method of main tenance throughout the State.

CATTLE MARKET TAKES
 A TURN FOR BETTER. (From Thursdays Daily)

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, Dec l5.-The beef market took a turn for the better last week and all kinds of cattle sold a shade higher. There was no marked ad- vance. but the feeling was more settled and buyers actions denoted a broader beef outlet. Increased imports from Argentine were re- ported with the first direct ship load consignments, but as the stuff be- longed to the packers of this coun- try 1t was handled in such a man. ner as not to injure the beef mar ket any more than necessary.
 Receipts today are extra heavy at most markets, and part of the gain noted last week has been dissi- pated. The market is steady to fir teen cents lower, plain middle grade killing steers receiving least support. Some fancy mixed yearlings sold at S9.25, straight yearling steers at So, and heavy steers at S87S. Steers selling at $7.5O to $8.25 move slow est today.
 Cows and heifers are largely steady, and this class of cattle have been the best sellers for two weeks or more. Good choice cows bring S625 to g, and veal calves reached Sll again today, same as last week. Forty-three cars of quarantine cattle came in today made up largely of two to four car shipments of meal fed steers of middle class. selling at S6 to $6.75.
 Stockers and feeders sold strong last week, and they are in fair de- mand today at prices about like last Monday. Top cattle for the country sell at s to S.5O. serviceable ami mals at S625 to S675, which prices are about a quarter lower than a year ago.
 Hogs did not change much in price last week. Packers had to disclose the fact that they need material and closing markets were the strongest most days. Receipts for the week were 6O,0O0 head, and run today Is 10000 head. Chicago has a big run today, with lower prices, and the market opened 10 cents lower here, but improved be- fore the close, top a70. bulk S.35 and %.65, pigs S6.50 to N.2S. Hogs

IT MAY BE TRUE
 BUT SOUNDS TOO BEANY
(From Thursdays Daily.)

The publication of a dispatch from Champaign, H., under date of last week will prove of interest to resi- dents of this city. as the event trans pired within a few miles of Pres colt, and the central figure in the story is George A. Thayer of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Com pany.
 In the Illinois city, it seems as if Mrs. J. A. Tudor has been the re- ripient of a consignment of beans, that have the ancient flavor of being somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,000 years old and which were extracted from a cave in the Point of Rocks during the progress of dam building. There were laying by the side of the beans several mummies. surrounded by earthen pots, all of which were filled to the brim with this food, indicating that the once live beings had a fore sight of stocking up in facing long and hard winter
 The mummies, according to the dispatch, were shipped to the Smithsonian institute at Washington and according to archaelogists have an age that links the beans and the human forms as running hand in hand. It is quite probable that the recovering of any more beans or Aztecs in the sequestered dells of the Point of Rocks will not prevail much longer, as the rae at which the big dam of Mr. Thay- CTS company Is going up, will drown out that environment. and if there are any more old-timeTs around with a stock of beans on hand, they had better begin moving to higher elevation, as they will be swamped within the next few months.

ROAD BUILDING IS
 TO BEGIN TOMORROW
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From WeoneSday Daily.)
 Active road building between Prescott and Dewey begins tomor- TOW on the lines as surveyed re gently by State Division Engineer Goodman, which work is to be per 'ormed by the county.
 Road Superintendent Clark stated yesterday that the Copper Basin outfit in charge of Foreman Kellam would be transferred, and there would be no interruption in build ng until the six miles were ready. The route as surveyed calls for radical departure in the grade ines to be followed, and the maxi mum will not be over six per cent, his disposition being closely fol- owed by the plans of the State n construction.
 Another feature of the new road way will be a change at several joints of the route to be built upon md which will avoid many steep )laces and materially reduce the distance between the two points. The wet condition of the country a strong inducement for begin ng the work now and when this ink is ready, it is believed the Cherry creek division also will be completed.
 Within a few months the highway nto the Verde valley, accordingly, will be one of the finest in the State, which goes into the broad plan of he State in closing that gap on the forth and south system of the fu- ;ure. "On to Flagstaff" is the slogan and within the next year it is be- ieved that Prescott and the Sky light City will be linked together It last. In the meantime this city, Jerome, Clarkdale, Camp Verde and he entire Verde valley will be more conveniently associated than ever before known, and the tortuous Cherry creek hill will be made into d boulevard.

FREIGHT JUMPS TRACK
 NEAR ASH FORK.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

One of the worst wrecks ever known on the northern division of the s. F., P. & P. railroad, occur red on Tuesday night after dark, at a point about six miles out of Ash Fork, when a north-bound freight and water train left the track, causing the loss of very much property. A broken flange on a wheel of a freight car was given as the cause of the mishap. The ties were group to a pulp for q distance of nearly 200 yards, while several cars were completely demolished.
 Fortunately none of the crew was injured to the slightest extent. The early morning train out of Ash Fork to the south was delayed until a shoe-fly was built around the place, and did not reach this city until l2:30 o'clock yesterday after noon, nine hours late. The time schedule prevailed during all of yesterday. The wreckage in a few days will be removed.

 Ohio went further and provided for bringing to Washington the prize winner in the corn contest of each township in the State and several hundred girls who had taken prizes offered by the State Agri- culture Commission for excellence in cooking. It cost the State of Ohio about Sl00.OO0 to bring the boys and girls to Washington.
 Under the circumstances. friends of the Ohio corn boys felt that Secretary Houston should have en- tertained the visitors. They attri- bute his attitude to disgruntiement over the way in which the State of Ohio entertained its corn boys and girls prize winners in domestic sci ence. in advance of the national gathering.

TWIGGS WRITES HE
 WILL NOT RETURN.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily)
 Very much surprise was expressed yesterday when it was reported that John \. Twiggs, the mine operator of the Hassayampa district. and the merchant of Maxton had left the city several days ago and it was probable he would not return.
 Letters have been received from him at Fl Paso. Texas, dated De cember 10. in which his intentions are clearly explained directing that his property be turned over to his creditors
 Leaving this city q week ago last Monday afternoon, Twiggs stated that he was going 10 Douglas to look after shipment of ore from the Davis mine, on Slate creek, which he was operating under a lease, and that he would return not later than last Saturday. ln- stead of doing so, he wrote letters from Fl Paso on December 10 re questing the disposition of his in terests to be made as above given, although he made no reference as to his future movements.
 Those here conversant with Twiggs' financial obligations stated yesterday that the amount is not known, but that it is not large. There are known at the present time only three creditors.
 The property is capable of easily meeting the indebtedness incurred, and why the osner should have left the country is occasioning expres- sions of alarm to his many friends.
 Another peculiar transaction to which Twiggs was party was in securing the sum of Sl,000 a few days before his leaving. ill which his endorser of the note, gave out the information yesterday.
 Mrs. Twiggs remains at MaXton and is prostrated over the depar- ture of her husband, the latter giving nd intimation when leaving but that he would return at the time stated. Twiggs was one of the best known residents of the county, ac- tive in mining development, and re- garded as one of the best merchants in the outside field

GAZETTE ADMITS IT
 LIBELED BANKER BAKEA
(From Thursday's Dailv.l


 Evidently fearful of the results of going to trial before a jury m the libel suit brought against it by William II. Doyle. the local banker. the Gazette Publishing Company. through its attorneys yesterday. confessed judgment in the Superior Court.
 The defendant broached the mat ter of a settlement a number of days ago and negotiations were in progress until late yesterday after noon when a settlement was effected, Mr. Doyle receiving a substantial cash sum as damages It is un- derstood that one of the terms of the agreement reached is that the Gazette shall publish an apology, admitting that it libeled Mir. Doyle, although unintentionally
 The libel suit, which is now thing of the past, grew out of the activity of the September grand jury. which returned a number of indictments against firms and in dividuals on alleged gambling charges. Among the true bills found was one against the Yavapai Club. of which Mir. Doyle was then presi- dent In his official capacity he appeared in court to answer the charge in behalf of the club. But when the news reached Phoenix and was given publication in the Ga zette it was made to appear that Mir. Doyle had been personally in :, dicted on a charge of permittingy gambling in the club. No effortS> was made to correct the grave in justice done the Prescott man until eleven days later when an apology, which was not an apology at all. made its appearance. This apology" consisted of an editorial squib to the effect that NIT. Doyle was not gambler.
 Coming to the conclusion that the Gazette had no intention of correct ing its libel and setting him right in the eyes of the world, the banker retained Norris & Mitchell and E. s. Clark as his attorneys and in- stituted suit for S50.OOO damages. On the other hand the defendant secured the services of Bullard X Carpenter of Phoenix and few days ago added Reese NJ. Ling and LeRoy Anderson to its legal staff One of the liveliest legal battles ever witnessed in a local court was in prospect and the public was keyed up to a pitch Of tense ex- pectancy. when the defendant con cluded it was better judgment tc pay than fight. and overtures werev made with that end in view.
 Summarized, the case has ended ! in legal admission of guilt by the defendant, the payment of a sub stantial sum in damages. and the publication of retraction, which will for all time disprove the un- truth printed that Mir Doyle was indicted.
