TEAL'S MIGHT IN CHINATOWN"
 MADE BIG HIT IN 2lS9EE

Referring to the next offering of the Raymond Teal O. at the Empress the ater, "A Night in Chinatown," |" which follows The Girl and the Drummer for three nights commencing Monday night, the Bisbee Review says:
 Regular attendants at the Teal com panys performances. and there are many who mp to date have not missed a bill. will find it difficult at the end of the engagement here t0 say which of their productions was the best. as at the conclusion of each show the i'm precision is left on the mind of those who have seen it that this is surely the best vet.
 A Night in Chinatown last night certainly proved an attraction that would be hard to beat One striking feature was She bearty ot the stage settings, particularly in the first act q number Of ingenious contrivances be- ing made use of to change the setting without percepuble pause iu the action Of the piece.
 Miss Madeline Rowe received the biggest reception of her appcarauce here for her singing af "The Window on the iIill,' the expressive method of hey rendition captivating her audience, while her Virginia Lee number was equally successful though of totally different type. Her duet with Homer Longs solos received the ovation that is customary at the close of that pop ular singers contribution to the even ings program.

There is a coincidence in the ap- pcarance of Fritz Fields and Hazel Lake at the Empress theater during the present engagement that has not been generally krown. It will be re membered tha; two years ago the Louis B. Jacobs company closed a highly successful engagement in Phoenix and went to Denver. Fritz fields and Hazel I.a<e were members of that company and two ol the most popular members at that. Both had formed many friend ships in Phoenix that will asst for years and years.
 Now for the peculiarity. Two years from the date of the exodus of the Jacobs company to the very day, Fritz Fields and Hazel Lake returned to Phoenix in musical comedy stock. this time under the mana cement and direc- ton of Raymond Teal, himself an old Phoenix fJvorite. This troupe. the most accomplished that has ever ap- pcared in musical stock in Phoenix, is now playing at the Empress theater the very house at which opened the phenomenal engagement that was en- JOyed by tne two aforementioned ar lists on their previous visit.
 Many changes have occurred in Phoenix thtatricai circles in that time. The Empress theater has had several

There seems little or no doubt ma to
the bond issue in Clear Fork district.
The amount asked for is trining com
pared with the effect of good roads.

'This paper gave vent to mild kicl,
on the appropriation of $4,000 for n
certain road in that ncighborhood, as
1t seemed TO ua n little excessive. and
particularly as the milcagc was not
given: The nmount has been cut to
$65,OO0 and the mileage given MS
ID l-2 miles. The road is n difficult
one, and the amount of $65,00O is not
excessive. Every CITIZEN of TIL. Clear

Not Show Itself in Boy Un-
til Seven Weeks After.

officer of the board, the victim was a
negro boy of ten years who was bit
ten IN the lip one afternoon during
the first week in January by a dog
belonging to the family. The bite
was treated at the time and no furth-
'er thought was given it. The next
Day, when the dog was carried hunt
ing with pack he kept swapping at
the other animals and was finally
killed for this but even then rabies
was not suspected.
The wound on the child's lin healod
quickly and no trouble developed nm
til February 18. On that dav tho
boy had temperature and was uneosv
and restless but showed no evidence
OF localized pain. The following
morning, Sunday, the boy complaincd
of severe discomfort in the throat
and had number of commissions
physicians were called in and n con"
suitation was held The diagnosis wne
rabies. From that time until b;s

was bitten and bruised but the skin
was not broken. The bows sister

in its announcement. "There are ev-
licences of an unusual prevalence of
RABIES IN this country at present and
Virginia is by no means immune. In
California, Kansas, Idaho, and Ne
vada, the disease has become so wide
spread that the federal authorities
have been called upon for assistance.
1T is short-sigthed policy to
reconcile ourselves to the spread of
rabies merely because we have sat
isfactory preventive. The anti-rabi
treatment is wonderfully effective,
and in more than 400 cases treated
by the State during the last few
years no i'll effects have been oted.
But there is always danger, rs in the
case discussed above, that the disease
will not be recognized and that death
may result. Even where this does not
occur, a long ebsencc from home is
necessary for treatment and much
valuable stock may have to be kill
ed. Most outbreaks of rabies begin
with stray dogs.p
