Proceedings Apache County Court.

The District Court of Apache conn ty adjourned on the 10th inst, until the first Monday in May. Quite a number of important cases were be- fore the court, among which were the following;
 A. & P. Railroad vs. Lopez. This was the tax case, and was compromis. ed by the company paying SIS, 500 instead of about S2S,ooo levied,
 Territory ex rel, John Hunt vs. Ro. man Lopez. This is a quo warranto proceeding to oust defendant from his seat as member of the board of county supervisors.
 Territory vs. Ortiz, charged with murder. Defendant plead guilty to murder of the second degree and was sentenced to twenty-five: years in the penitentiary.
 Territory vs. Candelario; charged with horsestealing. Plead guilty, and sentenced to four years hard labor.
 Territory vs. Clanton and Stanley; charged with falsely branding cattle. Acquitted Tn one case and mol. pros. entered in three cases.
 There was an injunction case to restrain the erection of buildings on the public streets of St. Johns, and one certiorari case to review the pro- ceedings of the board of supervisors in consolidating certain school dis tricts.
 Territory vs. Dick Greer; charge assault with intent to murder. Trial by jury. Rudd, Baldwin and Eugene Turner, attorneys for the prosecution, and E. M. Sanford, of this place, and C. B. Rush for the defence. The evidence was very strong against the defendant, but the jury brought in a compromise verdict of simple assault, and the defendant was fined sIoo, which was promptly paid.
 We learn that MT. Turner made a very eloquent and telling argument in this case, and 1t was owing mainly to this address that a verdict was found at all for the Territory. He has been appointed court commissioner for

The railroad company has issued an order to sell no more lots near the railroad station in Flagstaff for the present, not giving any reason for their action. It looks as though they desired to retain the ground in close proximity to the station for their own use. The site included in the order is supposed to be hotel grounds, upon which they intend to erect large house during the coming summer, Flagstaff IS destined to be a famous summer resort, and the railroad in tends to give us hotel that will ac- commodate three hundred guests.

So sure are some of the gentlemen in Flag staff that Yavapai county will soon be divid- ed, that already strife exists to leadership,a and some have gone so far as to look up the Dem. ocratic platform, to ascertain the solidity thereof
 The above is an extract from a Flagstaff correspondent of the Pres. colt Journal. We believe that poli- tics do not enter into the movement of creating new county for this sec tion. Democrats and Republicans take hold of the project as one man, and all we ask is a nominee for the legislature from this section, by either of the county conventions, and we will support him to a man. We are not looking for Republican or Demo- cratic platforms in the strife before us.

ALABASTINE
A Superior Substitute
for Ka1somine, etc.

Alabastine Is the first and only preparat' on
made from calcined gypsum rock, for appli-
cation to walls with brush, and is fully COW
cred by patents and perfected by many years
OF experiments. It Is the only permanent
wall finish, and admits Of applying as many
coats as desired, one over another, to any
hard surface, without danger of scaling or
noticeably adding to the thickness OF the
wall, which is strengthened and improved by
each additional coat, from time to time. It
is the only material for the purpose not de-
pendent upon glue for It's adhesiveness
Alabastine is hardened on the wall by age,
moisture, ETC., while all kalsomnes or whit.
enng preparations have inert soft chalks
and glue for their base, which are rendered
soft or scaled in q very short time.
In addition to the above advantages,
Alabastine is less expensive, as it requires
but one-half the number Of pounds to cover
the same amount OF surface with two coats,
is ready for use by adding water, and easily
applied by any one.

The Great Wisconsin Flood

The Chippewa and other Wisconsin rivers
were on great rampage last week. A dis
patch from Chippewa Falls says: Wednesday
night was one of horror here in tho city, the
water raising rapidly up toe o'clock this morn
ing. The water stood four feet deep in Spring
street. and many of the firms removed their
goods. There was two feet of water in the
postofice. The Little Falls and Paint Greek
dams are out There we're about two hundred
million feet of logs in the Little Falls dam, and
from twenty to fifty million in Paint creek.

Thursday morning the Chippewa showed At the

poets of additional rain. About four O'Clock
the west half of the Madison street bridge gave

Because . very large number Of vo.
ters are not shouting themselves hoarse
in this campaign, II ought not to be in
terred that popular interest in politics
is less Intense than usual. Apathy is a
term often misapplied. Men who stay
away from political demonstrations, and
even those who have little to say about
politics in private conversation, may not
be Indifferent, but, entertaining views of
their own, prefer to enlist in the great
army of silent voters. The apparent
apathy at present indicates, perhaps,
that people are doing some vigorous
thinking or that they are too busy in
harvesting and fall ploughing to spend
much tim g in what is called political
work.

Sir Richard Temple at Montreal last
week claimed that the British empire
extends over one-fifth of the habitable
globe. This estimate included Egypt,
Zululand, Afghanistan and all countries
and colonies over which the English
have political control. The population
of this empire is set down at SIS, OOO,-
600 and the revenue derived from it is
s., O15 100000 of which $445, OOO, 900
comes from the United Kingdom, 1884,
00O,000 from India and 5000, 600, 900
from the colonies and dependencies.
One-fourth of the whole amount is de-
rived from the land tax. The people
pay in addition 1905 600, 900 taxes for
local purposes. This colossal power is
seeking extension in almost every quar-
ter of the globe. Nothing is given up
by the English while it is possible to
retain it.

General Loring, an American officer,
who resided so long in Egypt, in the
service of the Khedive, gives his opin.
ion of the purpose of General Wolseley's
expedition to the Soudan country in
Africa. He thinks that England is in
Egypt to stay, and he adds that "even
if the Mahdi had not appeared, other
cogent reasons may have been found
for her occupation of the country"
Gen. Loring anticipates that Wolse-
ley will be able to open communication
with Gordon about the middle of No.
vember, and that the large force with
tho British commander foreshadows
determination to hold at least Khar-
toum, while he adds that, in his belief,
the English will hardly consent to turn
over that vast country, the Soudan, to
the slave-hunters as preserve. The
trade of the Soudan is very great, and
under England might be indefinitely
expanded. He also suggests that the
possession of Massowah points to the
ultimate absorption Of Abyssinia. With
Egypt, the Soudan and Abyssinia,
Great Britain will control an African
empire second only in extent, and per-
haps not second in future commercial
importance to her dominions in India.

who numbered 1850 in 1912, hare dis
banded. The constitution of organiza-
ton provided that it should be kept up so
long as there were five members able and
willing to continue the organization.
Year after year the veterans have been
dropping out of the ranks, until there
are not now five left who ore able to at
tend tho meeting of the association.
The old revolutionary soldiers long
since disappeared, and it will be only a
few years before the last soldier of the
war OF 1872 will rest in his grave. From
this calculation can be made of the
duration of those who participated in
the great civil war.
