That the city of Bisbee, the metrop oils of Cochise county, the shopping center of the Warren district and the greatest copper mining town in the United States. is growing momentarial ly Is attested by the monthly reports Nhicn were made to the city council last Tuesday night by the various city officials.
 From every department the obvious prosperity of Bisbee was manifest. Ac- tiyities in every line of work and en. deavor in the district, reflected through the city overnment. were brought to the surface. By conaariFoa witl, facts and figures of years past. and no doubt is left in the minds of any of the city's residents that Bisbee is on the high road to the front of industrial supremacy in Arizona and in the great southwest.
 The first report to go before the council was that of Edward J. Flani- gan. city attorney.
 Flannigan. in his report. stated that the suit instituted against the city of Bisbee last year by Forman for s17,000 had been tried in the United States district court at Phoenix dur. ing the month of January and the jury verdict in the trial was in favor of the defendant city.
 The next step. if the plaintiff should wish to take it. is the United States circuit court of appeals. at San Fran cisco. This step. said Flanigan, will not, it all likelihood be taken. thus clearing the City of Bisbee from any further court action in the Forman suit.
 The report of the city health off ce-, pr. R. E. Herendeen, showed the general health conditions of the city and district. for that matter to be in excellent shape. generally The guar. antine regulations, according to the physicians are being observed. and the necessity for such observation of the regulations have been cut to a minimum. until at the present time, there isn't quarantined case in Bis bee.

Why Cats Go Wrong.

why cats 10 wrong.
The melancholy days are come,
The saddest of the year,
Of houses closed and doorbells dumb
And windows dark and drear.
Now Dives to his country seat
Has hied himself away,
And Tabby turned into the street
Must shift as best she may.
No more the cushion soft as silk,
The catnip ball no more;
No more the saucer full of milk
Behind the pantry door.
Nor shall she break her fast to prey
Upon the lean church mouse;
The good Lord, too, has gone away
And closed his city house.
Myself when young once showed my
face
Therein, when, huge and shrill
The sexton came-"I feel the place
In frosty weather STILL
When Dives HES him back once more
To his town house, oh, shame!
Tabby will greet him at the door,

The Ubiquitous Girl.
There $ pretty girls in every port
That fronts upon the foam,
For I've made love in Labrador,
In Cairo and in Rome,
I've kissed the girls of London Town
And sweet to kiss were they.
But Burmah girls are just as sweet
And Frisco girls are gayl
There's always eyes to sparkle bright
And hearts a-bcating warm,
There's lips the man who s bold ma,

And waists to fill an arm;

Not What She Expected.

managed to screw up his courage
sufficiently to enter jewelers. shop
and purchase a small gift for the lady

the way to the popping of the great
question. That night he called at her
house and found her alone. Producing
a small square box from his pocket, he
said, nervously:

small present, Miss Finn, but I am
afraid that perhaps it will not fit your
finger. Will you try it ont"
"Oh, dear!" said the girl, blushing
most becomingly, "this is quite unex-

really cared enough"
Poor fool Instead Of grasping the
opportunity in both hands, he opened
the box and produced thimble!
Then the thermometer dropped about

Why She Chose Him.

She chose him of ell the crowd
Of men that came and went;
His voice was low, his tie was loud,
But she was well content
The first mans education was
Perhaps more finished-and
Another's manners gave her cause
As being much more grand.
Another's garments fitted him;
Another's hair was curly;
Another name was Arthur
Was chosen by this grille.
And not for wealth and not for love

 The senator urged his resolution -te grant to Colorado the right to file suit against the secretary ofs.the interior to determine ownership of the flood waters.

HALF A MILLION FOR
 RETIRED MINISTER'S
NEW ENGLAND SOUTHERN CON- GRESS IN PLEA FOR FUNDS
 TO CARE FOR THE AGED.

Wilimaatic, Conn, March 24--A plea for half a million dollars more to provide fo retired Methodist minis. ters and their families was made to. night by the Rev. Jos. E. Hingley of Chicago at the formal opening of the seventy-fourth annual session of the New England Southern conference of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 Dr. Hingley said that when the board of conference claimants was organized in 1908 the church distributed $605,0 5,000 to retired ministers. The amount has grown steadily until last year it was increased to $1,0G0.O0O, but at least another half million dollars is needed, he said, and needed at once.
 The Rev. l.. c. Clemens of Des Moines, Ia., field representative of the board of conference claimants, spoke along similar lines and detailed hard. ships suffered by veteran preachers and their families. Both Mir Hingley and Dr. Clemens were pioneer presid. ing elders in the northwest.

SENATE 10 CONSIDER
 WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
SENATOR THOMAS PROMISES THAT HIS COMMITTEE WILL
 TAKE MATTER UP SOON.

Washington, March 24-Senator Thomas of Colorado chairman of the senate committee on woman suffrage assured suffragette leaders today that his committee would take up for con sderation in the near future the Bris- tow and Shafroth resolutions intro duced last week after the defeat of the resolution providing for submis- sion of a constitutional amendment extending suffrage to women.
 Leaders of the woman suffrage movement had asked the senator for a hearing, but this, he said today would not be necessary, as the com mittee is thoroughly informed on the subject. The Bristow resolution is identical with the Chamberlain amendment, defeated last week.
 ''The Bristow resolution" said Sen ator Thomas. lis identical with the recently defeated constitutional amendment, and in my judgment, is the only one to be reported favorably to the senate. It cannot be improved upon either in phraseology or pur- nose"

CONDEMNED BY DEMOCRACY
Claimed That Aristocrats of the Army Have Coerced the Government into Meeting Their Terms for Service on Irish Soil

London, March 24-Westminster over what the liberals now denounce as the "mutiny of the army aristo- crats" against democratic government The fact has been established from all obtainable evidence that Gen. Hu- bert Cough and the other officers or the Third cavalry brigade demanded and obtained written assurances that they would not be ordered to fight Sir Edward Carson's Ulster volunteers, and that these assurances were ob- tained largely through the personal intervention of the king.
 Before they left London yesterday the officers telegraphed to their broth er officers in Ireland that they had found support from the highest quar- ters." On their arrival at Curragh camp today they were welcomed by a guard of honor and related the out come of their summons to the war office.
 The throne, which traditionally has kept out of patty controversies. is in volved in the discussion as it never before has been during King George s reign or that of his diplomatic father

VILLA AND THE FEDERALS STILL BATTLING FOR POSSESSION
 OF RAILWAY CITY.
DISPATCHES ARE INDEFINATE
Roseate Official Dispatches Are Some what Discounted by Later Assocat- ed Press News from the Scene Huerta Secures Some Cash.

Juarez, Mexico, March 24.--Roseate rumors and "oflcial' reports of the onward sweep of Gen Villa and his victorious rebels kept this city In a state of great excitement today, but the optimism was dashed somewhat by the receipt of an Associated Press dispatch from Chihuahua. quoting an official dispatch saying that fighting continues at Gomez Palacio. It was announced officially in the course of the morning that the city, three miles from Torreon, was taken last night at o'clock and that Gen. Villa had ordered supplies sent there direct.
 Next came word that Gen. Bena- vides had captured two federal quar- ters in Torreon itself. This informa- tion was conveyed ia a private tele- gram from Col Trevino, one of Bena- yides' staff officers to his brother in Juarez. At this there was further joy but it was nothingp to the excitement occasioned when Gen. Chao military governor of the state of Chihuahua, and now in this city to greet Gen. Car raaza. received a private report that Gen. Velasco, federal Commander at Torreon had surrendered. Gen. Chao accepted the report with reserve. The dispatch from the Associated Press staff correspondent at Chihua- hua had something of q dampening ef- feet on the spirits of the rebels and 1t gave rise to all manner of conjec- lures. It was the first direct news telegram of the day but it was argued that the official report quoted in it did not necessarily disprove previous reports of fighting in Torreon, or even that Villa did not actually have Go meg Palacio in his possession last night.
 The report might mean, it was con- jectured. that the federals, as a part of the general battle, might have re- turned to Gomez Palacio and renewed the fighting, while other forces were engaged in Torreo1. three miles away.
