w. O. O'Neil, the handsome re. porter of the District Court and editor of the Prescott Miner, has been here the last two weeks. How he finds time to attend to the business of run. ming newspaper in addition to his court duties we do not know, unless It be an extraordinary capacity for beans -Mohave County Miner.
 Experience has taught us that it required great amount of wind to run a newspaper successfully, but we hadn't the slightest idea that "Bucky" got his supply of oxygenic matter from that source.
 A warrant was issued this week for the arrest of J A. Marshal, on com Eplaint of M. S. Beale, charging him with embezzlement of school taxes for this precinct. The warrant was plac- ed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Dykes, who found MT. Marshal at Holbrook, and brought him to Flag staff, before Justice Spafford, The prisoner waived examination, and gave bonds in tine sum of ST 900 for his appearance before the next Grand Jury.
 In another column will be found the announcement of our townsmen, J. w. Spa6ord, as a candidate for the office oi Justice of the Peace of Flag staff precinct. Mir. s. Is we'll known in this community, where he has re. sided for upwards of three years, and now holds the office of Justice of the Peace by appointment. vice J. A. Marshal, resigned. He has given good satisfaction in his official posi- tion, and stands good show for an election.
 A. F. McAllister, of Canon Diablo, wears beaming smile this week, and he has every reason to, as Mrs. Nc. Allister presented him. with boy ba- by on Sunday last. Nc. says he is shouting for Cleveland already, and Dr. Brannen, the attending physician congratulates himself on the arrival of another de mocratic voter.

 If the editor of the Co..rier will re- fer 10 last Thursdays issue of the Journal, he will ascertain the reason why McCauley's list of v names were omitted from the Great Register. Nc Cauley is one of Mulvenon's strikers, and hlS methods of obtaining names for the Great Register are not in ac. cordance with law.-Prescott Journal.
 We have referred to the Journal, but find no reason why the names were omitted from the Register. As the registrars appointed are, in nearly all cases, Republicans, we are of the opinion that the very thought of Mir. McCauley's being a Democrat was grounds for suspicion. But as Re- publiclns suffer the most by excluding the McCsuley list, we are not com blaming very seriously. The voter thus deprived of his right of citizen ship IS the one to do the kicking. It is said that Clark Churchill made the "chin music" against the admission of the names, but we are surprised that such man as County Recorder Carter, who has always been a true Democrat, and elected as such, should be found in such political company.

 The Democrats have elected twelve out of the twenty. one Congressmen in Ohio, thus giving us a Democratic delegation from that State. As the Cleveland electors in the State are twenty-one in number--one from each Congressional district-it IS safe to say that as the Congressional vote denotes the status of the State on the Presidential question. Cleveland will get the same majority Tn each Demo- cratic Congressional district, and as the thousands of Kentucky negroes,

Republican Lie Nailed.

EDITOR CHAMPIoN-An article ap. peared in the Prescott Miner, of Oc- rober 18th, in which the wrileren deavors to prove, under the caption of "Facts and Figures" that the Democratic nominee for Sheriff, while acting as Deputy Sheriff along the line of the A. & P railroad, either allowed certain merchants to conduct their business without paying license or failed to account for the same to the county. Amongst others, P. B. Brannen & Go. are named as having done business for a short period with. out paying a retail liquor license Of S3I per quarter. That they were le- gally required to do so at the time is not true, as they sold liquor under license as station keepers, which is ten dollars per quarter, However, to briefly refute the charges made against MT. Mulvenon, would say that P. B. Brannen x Co. have always paid their county license through the senior member of the firm at their store in Prescott to the collector at that place, and w. ]. Mulvenon never received any money for license from them at Flagstaff.
 The writer referred to IS an excel lentrmathematician, but the only fact 1 have ben able to discover m his ar ray of figures is that MT. Mulvenon IS the choice of the people living along the railroad for Sheriff, and he Is such largely on account of honest, efficient and faithful performance of duty in our midst in the past.

 Worse still, it supports Dr. Aims worth, nominee for joint Councilman ofits party, who, as the record will show, voted, while a member of the Council of last Legislative Assembly for the murder of the Wardwell bill which aimed to lower s. P. rates and fares; to stop determination against the people of Salt River valley and other places in Arizona and to make the great corporation give farmers, miners, stockmen, all industrious peo- pie, show for their lives and proper ty. Why, MT. Herald, the Demo- cratic portion of Congress passed a bill putting these lands back in the public domain, but your portion of Congress-your monopolistc Senate -took good care to keep the measure from being "enacted into law" In other words, Republican Senators stood guard over the interests of the big land grabbers and told those who wished to get small slices of land, for purposes of cultivation, to keep of.

How to Keep the Witches Away.

and turning over pillow on the bed
found a case-knife under it.

The officer was taken back, but be-
gan to understand the situation when
the woman showed him that all the
beds in the house were supplied with
knives to keep the old witch of. The
woman said the white folks told her
the ''old witch was the nightmare,
when her blood did not circulate, but
the colored people did not believe that,
but thought they were ridden in their
sleep by an old witch. An inquiry de-
veloped the fact that the superstition
exists to very considerable extent
