Il Was a Question Which Side Wa
Doing the Teaching.
Brinton Buckwalter. nephew Of
George B. Mcclellan. ex-mayor Of New
York, upon leaving college thought he
would like to try his hand at the polit-
ical game. His uncle tried to talk him
out Of it. but was finally forced to con.
sent to find him a berth. SO McClel-
Ian took the matter up with Charlie
Murphy. the Tammany chief. and told
him to find the boy something that
would make him sick Of the game for
all time. Buckwalter, wealthy in his
own right. was then living in a bache-
Tor apartment In an exclusive section
Of Madison avenue and employed a
valet who had the distinction Of hav-
ing taught Colonel Roosevelt the gentle
art Of jujutsu.
$50 you want to get into politics"
said Murphy. who had sent for the
young man. well. you'll find it a
tough game. but I'll give you q
chance" And then he ordered him to
report to a leader Of one Of the tough
est districts on the lower east side, to
live there and become one Of the
gang.
About two weeks later the lower east
side leader rushed into Murphy's sane
tum.
"Mr. Murphy" he exclaimed, II can
stand the likes Of them two fellers no
longer"
"Who's that??" asked Murphy.
"Why. that young dude and his yell
Ter Jap you sent me-" answered the
leader.
Murphy's big, oval face twitched
with a semblance Of a smile as he
again inquired:
whats the matter? Have your boys
been teaching them the game"
my boys" shouted the leader.
why. between the dude and his Jap
there won't be a voter left. The dude
has knocked out most Of me best men.
and that yeller plague Of his has twist
ed the others all out of shape."-Popu-

FALSE REPRESENTATIONS FOUND

PHOENIX, June 9.-Having discoV' cred that the account of Mulford Win sor for his ticket to Washington and return to attend the hearing of the scrip case was falsified, the Arizona State Taxpayers Association has be gun an investigation of Winsor's office to ascertain whether other accounts in connection with the preparation ol Winsor's case against 1900 Arizona settlers are false and unlawful.
 Winsor put in a demand to the tudi- tor for $1O3.5O for a ticket to Wash ington, D. C., and return. The account signed "Mulford Winsor, Arizona East 'ern Railway Co.,, by Fly Page, agent. and was assigned to the, Valley Bank. It is marked as presented by Mulford Winsor, chairman, checked by E.

TAXPAYER APPEALS ID BILLIARD;
 OFFICIAL IGNORES HIS REQUEST

herewith a copy of letter which have this day mailed to State Auditor J. c. Callaghan, which is self-explana- tory.
 My attorney advises me that there is no warrant or authority of law for expenditures of state funds for such purposes. The duties of the Land Com mission are defined by law.
 Will you please advise me wheth- CT, in your opinion, the expenditure of the public funds of the state in con- testing those Moqui and Navajo scrip cases is legal?
 In connection with this request of mine that you advise me as to the law on the subject, I respectfully di- rect your attention to Title 1, Chapter 26, Revised Statutes of Arizona, 1913 Sections 229, 23O, 231 and 232.
 Respectfully yours,

commission. It was dated June 7 and was paid June by Warrant No. 66l5 The account is put in for "Traval1ns Expenses, rairload fare, State Land Comission."
 The receipt attached to the account shows that Winsor did not buy a ticket to Washington and return as specified in the account but that he purchased a ticket to New York and return and more than the ticket to Washington and return.
 In other words, Winsor represented in the demand that he was buying a ticket to Washington but in fact bought one to New York and thus he saved the few dollars that junket to the metropolis would cost.
 Advices from Tucson are to the eff feet that suit will be filed against Winsor to recover three times the amount of this demand.

2.LB. ONIONS COMMON
 IN THIS FERTILE VALLEY

Yuma can boast of onions weighing PA lbs each, They are of the white Bermuda variety and Al quality. The Examiner man and many other per sons have seen the evidence at Kerr & Munroe's office on Second street. These onions are raised at Somer- ton, 12 miles south of Yuma, and the onions of the size mentioned are S- common as to cause no comment at all in that neck of the woods.
 It is needless to say that onions in June in the Eastern markets would net fortune to Yuma farmers and an effort should be made to market them.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi- tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tube. When this tube is inf1amed you have rumhling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result and unless the in f1ammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed cOndi- ton of the mucous surfaces.

THE NEW BUSTLE MERELY A MATTER
OF CLEVERLY ARRANGED DRAPERY.

This new hustle is really not the
fearsome thing we have conceived 1t
to be; it is merely slightly bouffant
arrangement Of puffs or ruffies. The
size and number of these puffs or ruff
fies lies entirely with the wearer. In
some instances the bit Of drapery is
attached to the girdle and falls grace
fully into place. Taffetas lends itself
very we'll 10 this style Of drapery as it
has Just the necessary body, yet at the
same time is supple. This afternoon
dress, No. 1923, is developed in taffetas,
has an inset vest and an unusually
clever arrangement Of drapery both on
bodice and skirt. To copy this design
in size Sc, requires 81 yards Of AZ inch
taffetas or other material. Circular
frills on skirt and sleeves give the
novel touch to this dress for the girl
