NEWPORT LOSES
CLOSE GAME
The Knoxville Y. NJ. G. A. Tigers
Defeated Locals in a Fast
Game.

In the hardest fought game Of
the season, the Knoxville five won
from the Newport team on the
local courts Tuesday evening by
the score 24-32. Although ex-
ceedingly rough at times, it was
the best exhibited game of ball
seen here in some time.
The Newport boys were in fine
condition and were in the game al
all times, but were out-classed in
the field goal throwing of the
visitors. Rowe and Smith were
the stars of the game for Newport
while Davis and Sweeney were
the features of the game fol-

The Poppy.

The poppy throughout the east is
an emblem of death. In many parts
of India this flower Is planted upon
graves and in cemeteries. Whether
or not the idea was suggested by the
poisonous character of the juice is
uncertain. 1t is believed that the
poppy was known as funeral plant
to the Egyptians, for upon the tombs
opened by 9eloni there appeared rep.
reservations of plants which were
evidently intended for poppies.-

many astonishing cures reported
by persons who have used the
strange new liquid, Root Juice,
which has created so much en-

Mrs. j. SchondeIl, who lives at

claims to have suffered for years
with rheumatism which became
so bad that she was helpless. She
had tried doctors and patent medi-
cines without results and had
about given up hope when the
wonderful power of the famous
Root Juice treatment became
known.
The startling story of her re-
covery is best told in her own
words, taken from a signed state
ment which she recently gave out.
Regarding her case Mrs. Schon-

PRISONERS ENJOY
CHRISTMAS DINNER

Thefollowing menu was served:
Shortened corn bread, light bread,
roast turkey with cranberry jelly,
and dressing, pork sausage, glib
let gravy, apples, oranges, baked
sweet potatoes, mixed candy and
sweetened coffee. There was an
abundance for all, as they marched
into the dining room they would
smile their appreciation at the
steward, Mr.. S. A. Slack, who had
untirengly planned and worked
to the end that all might feel the
joys of Yule Tide.
The dining room of pure white
where the dinner was served was
a sight that would please even the
most fastidious; the tables were
spread with as toothsome and
wholesome a meal as the visitor
ever saw, even in the high class
hotels; and the neatness of the
place with its seven hundred and
thirty-six occupants and the quiet
manner with which they came to
their repast made an impression
upon the visitor of splendid dis
cipline among the inmates-not a
word or look of dissention was
seen or heard but the " Good
will toward all men" spirit. We
heard the assertion from several
of the long time men that it was
the best dinner that had ever been
served at this place.
We do not conceive of any
thing that would have made the
place more attractive as added to
its neatness. Everything had
been arranged to make the place
one of cheer. After the dinner a
show was given by the Brushy
Mountain Amusement Company,
which is composed of prisoners,
for the recreation of the inmates.
The music was furnished by the
prison orchestra which consists of
first violin, bass violin, mandolin,
two concert guitars, piano, and
trap drums, and was played in as
good time as is heard in the most
up-to-date theater. The band was
purchased by the prisoners with
the help of Warden j. E. Burrow
who is at all times ready to assist
and aid all Of the unfortunates in
his charge. A band adds much
to the discipline of an institution,
which has long been considered a
place totally punitive. but now,
under the charge of the present
officials, seems to be place of
reformation.
The inmates are made to feel
that their life may become one OF
usefulness and of good citizenship
instead of a disgrace and a shame.
The spark of good has been
famed into a flame Of usefulness
and good citizenship instead of a
disgrace and a shame. The spark
of good has been famed into a
flame, and instead of a downward
look and broken spirit you can
see the look of determination to
overcome the shame that has cast
its shadow about them.
It has been the pleasure of the
writer to attend the concerts
given at the prison, and they have
been such that anyone might
enjoy.
| have been informed that the
discipline has been improved since
the parole law has been in vogue

Oscar t'ritchie. charged with the murder of Henry Prichard, will have lis preliminary hearing today. The hearing will be held in Gila Benc, where Fritchie will be taken early today. and where he was held at a hearing before the justice court last week on the formal charge of killing Prichard. He will be taken to Gl!a Bend by an officer of the sheriff s office and will be accompanied by his counsel. Cox and Phelps.
 Fritchie is supposed to have killed Prichard on a train on which both were brakemen Evidence introduced at the preliminary hearing was said to be contradictory, and it was on that the man was held. It seems from the story that tritchie knew of prichards absence from the train at least. and that he did not even re pert at the end of his run.
