Popularity of Dr. Brannen at Fort Verde

FORT VERDE, Sept. 4, 1884.
 EDITOR CHAMpIoN-The nomina- tion of Dr. Brannen by the Demo cratic convention has met with gen eral approval in this section. The Doctors popularity is easily accounted for. While he attends strictly to his own party affairs he wins innumerable friends from the opposite ranks for his kind and benevolent disposition, scarcely ever naming political differ ences in the offensive, exhibiting a degree of good, solid sense, that causes certain magnitude not easily overcome, and the attraction becomes still greater when his admirers an. nounce him to be a gentleman of scholarly attainments. Had he sought the honor now offered him his Re- publican friends would have victim lZed hum as lobylst and otilce seeker, but, on the contrary, Il was accepted with the greatest reluctance; the force of public opinion was too strong for a denial, hence his acceptance. Strange as It may appear, your correspondent (and l may say the blackest Reputli- can in Yavapai county) intends to cast vote for Brannen. 1 don't do this for his sake, l do it for the sensi. ble bills he will present 10 the Terri torial legislature. In conclusion 1 will say this will not be political chase, but a clean walkover for the Doctor. IRISH LORD.

OUR SECOND VOLUME.

With this number the CHAMPION enters upon the second year of its ex' is,ence. One year ago to-day we issued our first number at Peach Springs, when the new town of Flag staff consisted only of the bare wall: of P. E. Brannen X Co.'s large mer cantile house. Although while at Peach Springs we prospered, the peo pc at that point doing all in theil power to aid the paper, we saw . larger and more lucrative field in the growing town of Flagstaf, and look ing at it in financial point Of view we removed to this place and issued our first Flagstaff number February Ist, since which time our circulation has steadily increased in all the towns along ;he line of the A. X P. railroad until at the present time we circulate three times as many papers on tho road as any contemporary published in Arizona. For this liberal suppor we thank our friends who have stooc by us, and particularly do we fee grateful to the people of Flagstaff, ou leading business men, as we'll as thos, in more quiet pursuits, ard the coun try surrounding, for the lberality they have displayed in enabling us tC 'keep the mill grinding" We hope before another year rolls around, tC see our town so far advanced that W, can greet our readers with the FLAG STAFF MORNING CHAMPION, contain iAg the full telegraphic dispatches We entertain that hope, and are con fdent of the support of the public 1T the enterprise.

MOhave County Democratic Ticket.

Our democratic friends in MJhave county have nominated a very strong ticket, one that is likely to win the race, representing as it does, some Of the best men in the county. The nominee for the Council, John How ell, is one of the leading mining men of northern Arizona, and is now one of the owners and the director of the smelling works at Blackberry. Pop. ular with the people, he is about the most difficult man for the republicans 10 "down" as could have been selec- ted. Ed. F. Thompson is the nom- inee for sheriff. Here Is a most excel lent selection. Wm. linus is nom- mated for the Assembly. He is a cattle man and rancher, possesses the ability and frmDess that goes to make up a good member, understands fully tle wants of his county. and will ably represent his people. For district attorney, Samuel Hamilton was nom- mated, very judicious selection. An old resident of the county. where he has practlced law for many years, his legal abilities are known and ap- preciated. If the people of Mohave county study their own interests, he is ;he coming legal official. The balance of the ticket is as follows: treasurer, Daniel Smith; probate judge Anson H. Smith, one of the proprie, tors of the Mohave County Miner. Anson is one of the best men in the county, and possesses the ability to fill the office to which he is called. Supervisors, A. Cornwall and T. J. Christie. Such ticket speaks vol umes for the good judgment of the democracy of Mohave.

The Democratic Territorial Con- vention at Phenix nominated Dr. w. w. Jones, of Maricopa county, for Superintendent of Public Instruction, He is man of education, an old resi- dent of the Territory, and in the south, where he is we'll known, is very popular; always the friend of schools, and at one time, in years gone by, when it tried mems souls to sustain schools in the Territory free from religious sect, he was tie standard bearer for free education, and gave his time and aid in support of those principles. The convention did great honor to itself and the people of the Territory in placing him in nomina ton.

W, J. MulvenOn.

The name at the head of this iten, Is that of the man nominated for the office Of sheriff by the Yavapai county Democratic county convention. Billy Mulvenon has served as deputy sheriff both under Walker and Henkle, and during that time has beer terror to evil doers, especially along the llne oi the A. & P. Railroad. His long list of acquaintancei and friends in the northern part of the county makes him strong in this section, and his ex perience as deputy sheriff amply ifs him for the responsible position. A man of integrity, ability and good business qualifications, and popular with the people, his nomination is q most excellent one.

The Primitive Baptist camp-mecting
at Silver Creek, Ga, had a strange in
terruption. A matronly woman began
to scream and cry in a violent manner
during prayer time. The preacher
thought it was a case Of spiritual anx-
iety, and put on more religious fervor,
which had o magnetic effect ON the
prayerful worshipers and caused them
to do likewise. This stimulated the
matrOnly woman to renewed exertions
and increased noise. Presently she de-
clared that she was not PRAYING, but
that she was mad about her daughter.
A young man had been paying atten-
ton to her daughter, and the mother
had told the girl to have nothing 10 do
with him. In order to make sure Of
this the old lady had hell the girl by
the arm while engaged in prayer. Very
silently and slyly the young man came
and knelt by the girl. The old lady,
who was devoutly praying, did not see
him, nor did she see the other man that
knelt with him. Nor did she at first
know that the whispered words which
fell from the lips Of the three. consti-
tuted the marriage service. II was when
she found ont that her daughter had
thus been married on the sly that she
began to scream. For awhile she was
uncomfortable. But at last she yielded
to wise counsel, and decided TO make
the best of what she considered bad
bargain. The brethren present thought
the wedding one of the most extraord-
mary ever known in camp-meeting his
tory.

reply.
"How?"
"Why, fell short of my estimate of

"And you don't know how to make
your figures come out even?"
IL confess don't"
"Well, all you have to do is to mark

t-h'iiiioti
Human life is full of its strange ups
and downs, but if we could only per-
suade ourselves to remember the ups
and forget the downs we should be the
happier for it. We are seldom as mis-
cradle as we think we are. When q
single hornet stings us we need not
swear that we ran against hornets
nest and that the whole swarm came
out and stung us until our bodies
swelled to the size of Jumbo. Learn a
lesson from the Irishman. Two broth
ers were rolling huge log down hill
One end rolled faster than the other,
and Pat put his arms around it to stop
it. The log rolled on, however, and
one minute Pat was under the log
groaning, and the next minute he was
ON top the log roaring for help. His
brother, with true Irishman's wit,
took in the situation at q glance, and
cried out: Hold on tight, Pat, for you
are on top half the time anv way"

Chinese Medical Treat mcnt.


The most absurd superstitions are
neld in regard to sickness and disease.
1t is always attributed to the evil spirits
lOating III the air, and when member
Of family is attacked with illness they
send for the priests. These sacred in
dividuals come attended by n full band
OF music, that Is to say, IA huge gong.
several drums, and an instrument like
Scotch bagpipe. No more hidcous or
unearthly noise can be imagined. The
priest kneels before "A square table hold
ing lighted candles and burning incense,
and reads innumerable prayers placed
on sort of easel in large red charac-
ters. At tie end of each one he pros
trates himself to the earth, and the in-
struments break ont into most dis.
cordant clamor while he remains there.
A woman in village Just outside the
gates of our compound has never been
well since her removal into new
house. Of course, the only reason they
can think of is that the evil spirits took
possession before they did. Last week
the priests were sent for. and they have
been keeping it up ever since, night
and day. The wonder to us is when
they eat or sleep, for there has been not
the slightest cessation of hostilitics.
When i'll they pinch themselves around
the neck till it has the appearance of
being burned or scalded at regular
intervals. Another habit is to take
a copper cash, a rough coin about the
value of 10 of cent. and scratch n
cross on the back till the blood flows.
Even the most learned have not the
slightest idea of the mechanism of the
human body, for it is against the law
and punishable by death to dssect q
corpse. 1t is amusing to see their cuts
representing the internal system, for
they resemble that of sheep or goat
quite as much as our own beautifully
formed and regulated bodies. No won
der that the marvellous cures effected
by the foreign physician seem little less
than miracles.
