Tle expenditure of this sum is under the direction of a mayor ald six aldermen.

 No Graft Scandals.
 Bisbee is and has been fortunate in securing a much better city gov ernment than might be expected un. der the circumstances. Never in itg history since 1t became an incorpor- ated city, has there been an occasion when charge of graft could be laid at the door Of any mayor or member of the common council On the con trary those officials have always worked faithfully and conscienciously, according to their lights, for what they believe to be the best interests of the city and its citizens. It often happens however that members Of the council find it incompatible with their inter est5 to continue in office for full term and lhcro have been few boards selected where an Of the original members elected have remained in of flee to the close of tba administration.

 Add to Attractiveness.
 Since the opening of the ear line the company has been actively en- gagged In steadily and continuously beauIiying and improving Warren making its environments suU more desirable. bringing it nearer Co the ideal which they have formed for it. A pretty little park with lawns and shrubs and flowers, crossed and inter- sected with concrete walks was laid and improved In it a handsome band stand was erected where frequent con- certs arc given. lt was lighted at night by decorative lamps and made highly attractive Later little more than a year ago. two blocks of land were added to this park the interest sccting streets closed the ground parked and planted for lawns. This gives Vista Park three times Inc space it originally contained and makes lt many fold more attractive than iorm- erly. A most enjoyable feature of the past suumer have been weekly open air dances held in the park on Satur day evenings. From an parts of the district people have Hooked Co enjoy fhese dances, no objectionable features hare been permitted to creep in but on the contrary they have become more and more popular Families make the trip to Visa Park to enjoy the music

tion, where SO excellent police force is maintained at so low a cost Under lCity Marshal Allison last year, order
 was splendidly maintained with s force of only four officers besides him. self and the total cost of maintenance Of this department was only S9,506.35. i This does not include the expenses of the city court, and salary of the judge and court interpreter. these amounted last year to $134O1O. more than met by police court fines to the amount of $2491.9O
 The city justly takes great pride ! in it's fire department. Under the chiettainship of B. w. Norton. this de- partment has been brought to a high state of efficiency. The force con. sists of the chief, four regular mem bers Of the department and four call | men. The expenses of the depart- ment last year amounted to only SS46771 Its efficiency can be judged wfnn it is stated that last year in- surance companies were called upon to pay only S23OO for losses occurring within the city limits.
 During the year a new fire house was built and equipment installed in Tombstone Canyon to afford better protection to that residential section of the city. The equipment consists of two trucks ladders. etc. chemical apparatus and hose No engine is re- quired owing to the high water pres sure that results from the storing of water for fire protection in tanks high up on the hillside.
 The conduct of the office of city clerk and treasurer is also to be high ly commended Mr. Butler having in- stalled a system of accounting that has won high commendation from such an authority as the secretary of the county taxpayers association. The department of the sanitary and plumb ing inspector, Mir Shepherd, has won merited praise and under his regime the city storage reservoir has been kept supplied as never before in the city's history.
 The street department cannot, ow- ing to the typographical situation of Bisbee, be maintained except at large expense. Every storm brings detritus down into the streets from hills and mountains and this has to be removed. Every severe storm washes out the streets that are un- paved, roads and trails and occasions a greater or less expense for repairs. h the past year this department com pleted @ number of street improve me1ts the greatest of which was the paving of a considerable distance on Naco Read. This work was done at a cost to the city lower than had been deemed possible by any of the citizens and is giving splendid satisfaction.

COURT HE WAS GUILTY AND
is SENTENCED.

Charged with operating what was
pronounced "blind tiger" negro
named Dennis Mckee, who was blind
himself, and who came in from Mo-
limo, went before the court Of record
Tuesday and offered plea of guilty
to the charge. Judge Monroe imposed
sentence of six months upon him,
but on account of the condition of
the negro, this was suspended.
Mckee, it was stated by the deputy
who brought him to Pensacola, car
ried a basket well-flled with pint and
half-pint bottles filled with whiskey.
He said that the negro had been
known to have gotten rid of a large
stock in Moline before he was the one
suspected of distributing so much
liquor. The negro told that some
persons undertook to make purchases
from him, and had actually gave him
bad money, or had helped themselves
to more than one bottle when they
had paid for a single pint or half-pint,
as the case might have sbeen. He
promised strict obedience to the reve-
nue. laws il he would be Excused
from spending six months on the
countyeroad." Upon such promise the
suspension order was granted by the
court.

SUCCESS OF A NEW REM by FOR
BACKACAE, RHEUMATISM, KIDNEYS

Folks in Pensacola and adjoining
counties are delighted with the re-
suits they have obtained by using
"AN-URIC," the newest discovery of
DR.. Pierce, who is head of the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, in
Buffalo, N. Y. Those who started the
day with backache, stiff legs, arms
and muscles, and an aching head
(worn out before the day began be-
cause they were in and out of bed
half dozen times at night are ap-
preciating the perfect rest, comfort
and new strength they obtained from
Doctor Pierce's An-uric Tablets. To
prove that this is a certain uric acid
solvent and conouers headache, kidney
and bladder diseases and rheumatism,
if you've never used the "An-uric"
cut this out and send 10 cents to Doc
tor Pierce for large sample pack
age. This will prove to You that
"An-uric" is thirty-seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
and the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector. If you are a suf-
ferer, go to your best druggist and
ask for a 50-cent bszs of "An-uric. ~
You run no risk for DR.. Pierce's good
