The Maxwell-Preller case has assumed a new and interesting phrase. It turns out that Prel- ler's life was insured for the neat little sum of S2O,OOO, and the in surance company have an idea that Maxwell purchased body and left it in Prnller's room in St. Louis in order to make it appear that Preller had been murdered, so that his friends could get the amount of the insurance. The company will withhold payment until it can be conclusively shown that Preller was really murdered.

Cleveland comes about as near being captain of the ship of state as any president we have had since the time of Jackson. He believes in listening to the advice of others, but after he has been advised he acts on his own judgment, and he has made fewer mistakes than any other president that has oc- cup1ed the white house for many years. He makes appointments carefully and always satisfies himself of the competency of the applicant before making an ap- pointment.

Florence is the coolest town in Southern Arizona. Nienty-six is as high as the mercury has climbed this season, while 1t has reached 116 at surrounding mining camps this weeks. At Tucson it has been 112, at Tombstone 104, at Phoenix 116 and at Yuma the ther- mometers climb the mountains to catch their breath. The topogra phy of the range surrounding Florence is such as to cause this valley to be continually famed by cooling breezes. It has delight ful climate both summer and wln- ter.-Enterprise.

A large cattle company has been formed at Pinal, and they propose to pipe water from Salt River on to the desert between here and the Superstition Mountains. This so-called desert would afford good range for thousands of herds of cattle. It is we'll covered with grass and browse. Mir. Foreman made preliminary survey for pipe line last week.-Enterprise.

A lot of Yaqui Indians living at old Adamsville, six miles below Florence, got into a drunken row Tuesday night and used the knife pretty freely. One man was killed on the spot and three others seriously wounded, one of whom is not expected to live. Sheriff Ga briel has arrested one fellow who is said to have had hand in the mur- derous affray. It is difficult to convict a Yaqui, as none of that tribe can be induced to testify against their countrymen.-Enter- prise.

What the Newspaper Does.

Rev.. John Riley Thompson, of
New York, says: The browning mar
vel of our modern civilization is the
printing press. 1t is impossible to
oyerestimate its vast power. prop
agates and defuses information. 1t
gives wings to knowledge, so that
on a breath Of morningitflies every
where to bless and elevate. I stand
in growing wonder in the presence
Of the printing press. 1t lays its
hands upon .the telegraph and
speedily gathers news from all
parts of the world, and acute edit
ors and ubiquitous reporters and
rapid compositors and flying steam
presses commit to paper a faithful
photograph Of what is going OH in
the world And yonder stands the
iron horse, with breath of flame and
ribs of steel, ready to go to remote
portions of the country, dropping
packages Of the daily papers on the
way. Yes, it is a mighty engine
for good and a mighty engine, too,
for evil. Like all the blessings of
this trial life of ours, it is not an un-
mixed blessing.

Corn Cultivation.

The manner of cpltivating corn,
vs. .ether deep or shallow, is sub
jact of much dhought and discus
son; but it seems to depend very
much upon a principle which ex
Isis everywhere, viz, that at first,
and before the roots haye spread
tlrouslrthe rows, deep cultivation
is useful, but afterward, as the
roots spread through the soil, only
lie surface should he stirred. A
most successful and large cuitiva-
tor of corn in Central Illinois, upon
q strong clay loan, but containing
much himuS, found that his best
success Was in blowing deeply the
next corn during its early growth.
lie. therefore, used narrow bull
tongues. running deeper than the
outer broader teeth Of his cultiva
tors, during the early growth of his.
corn. AS the corn became large
the teeth were near the middle Of
the rows. Thus the deep cultiya
ton Kept pace with the growth OF
the roots Of the corn, and later, as
the roots filed the whole soil, the
cultivation was superficial. His
regular days work for team in
tie field was eight hours, but he
kept the teams moving, land ac-
complished more work in day
than many who kept their teamin
a.feld ~ hours. Another peculiar
-ity OF his was tftat his teams might
be found lyingf'slill while some Of
his neighbors we're struggling thro'
wet, pasty solA:sYYet when the soil
did come IN condition for.work his
teams we're in, .the field::early and
late, often doing;twke tile amount
of his regular w5fk in. one day
Yet his teams never Seem tagged.
His theory Of cultivation and his
labor were founded upon common
sense.-New York Times.
