a familiar face TO Benny, but his own
was lost quantity TO them. No one
could see in the elegantly -attired
stranger even PARKWAY resemblance
to Benny Trite-bare-iooted, I'M

Without word the stranger placed
his yalise in the care of the matron OF
the inn, and with hurried strides took
his way across the fields in the dircc-

Edith.
1t is not necessary to say that for
all these long years intervening, no

Since then, since the day that Ben
ny Trite's-we beg pardon-since Mr.
Benny Trite's fair bride came with
him to fair Waco, magic and all her at
tendant ministers have been busy
busy with the place, busy with Mr.,
and Mrs. Benny Trite. The days have
gone by sercnely, sweetly. There has
been both joy and sorrow. But the
joy outweighs the sorrow. Benny
went on climbing from one height to
another, and when he died a few
months since. he was president of one
of the most prosperous banks of
Texas. His mansion on Austin street,
is the finest in the city. His farms in
the vicinity are the richest and most
productive in the country. Look over
the lists of the contributors to the
building ofour schools, churches, hos
pitfalls. Look nj the monumcntst to the
progress of the place, and tell
us II you will, whose
name appears oftenest and to the big
gest amounts. Is il not that OF Benny
Trite, the erstwhile barcfooted, friend
less Tennessee boy? His children live
after him, loved, respected and upon
whose shoulders has fallen the man
tel of man indeed, a man who
won his way unaided and alone from
poverty and obscurity to wealth and
distinction, assisted alone by an un-
qaerable will, high purpose and all
unassailable and veteran integrity,
the memory of which constitutes a
priceless legacy to the children who
keep alive his memory while the flow.
ers spring from his honored grave and
beside the pure white shaft which tells
of the resting place of one of the dead
mastor-spirits of Waco.

Reduce Expenses.

ED. HERALD-The tax levied upon property in Maricopa county is ex- cessIve and insupportable. Times are hard and the farmer with a cap-
 ital of i've to fifteen thousand dol lars finds it difficult to pay expenses. The office holders, with no capital in their official business, are making a net gain out of county offices from three to fifteen thousand dollars per annum.
 The reputation of the county is Injured as a field for investment and the bone and sinew of the county put under heavy tribute to pay county expenses. Is there no rem edy?
 The warrant indebtedness of the county should be placed in thirty year bonds at per cent. per annum which will make an exceedingly attractive investment, and the pres ent heavy tax to create a sinking fund for the pawn ent of this indebt> edness can be averted. The fees of officers should be reduced to Q min mum. Criminal costs should be avoided by careful administration of the prosecuting attorney's office and by close and decided policy of the Board of Supervisors; then we may all suffer together until the incoming of capital and the devel- opment of values enable us to sup- port our county government without imposing the present heavy burthen of taxation on our distressed and tribute-ridden people. *

DEATH IN THE RUINS.
Murder or Accident.
The Unknown Dead-One of the Mysteries of fPhOenIcian
 History.

On north Montezuma street, eas
 side, between Washington and Adam
 streets, are the ruins of an old ant
 large adobe building, a portion O
 which till recently was used for tn,
 purposes of a city prison, the othel
 parts long since having gone into
 disuse and the walls fallen in. The
 building was erected about clever
 or twelve years ago by John Aver | ish and was used as a dance house
 for some length of time after its con. struction, and was run" by several
 successive parties, as such institu- tions usually are, owing to the un> stable and unreliable conditions that attach themselves to such trade The building finally fell into the hands of Ochoa 6 Co.,, who now own it.
 Tuesday evening as Mexican la borer was loosening up the old adobes for the purpose of removing such of them as might be fit for use, he worked down to the original level of the ground and was mortified by dls> covering the remains of a man. The flesh had disappeared from the bones, but the bones yet retained considerable of animal matter, an evidence that the owner has not been dead very many years. Portions of the clothing were also found, the shirt being woolen and having a green strip in it, but so tar decayed that it cIumbles to pieces at a touch. The rumor of the discovery of the skeleton soon set imaginations to work and the theory of murder in the dance house and the burial of the murdered man beneath the floor seemed to be the most sensational and was most generally talked up and speculated upon.
 The skeleton is that of full grown finely developed man, the skull being somewhat above the average in sized and we'll formed. The bones are undoubted those of a white man, as they lack the reddish .inge of the bones of an Indian Or Mexican and are not so white as hose of the negro race. The HER | ALD reporter, on visiting the scene of | he discovery, was oblige to acknowl- edge to himself that the sensational | ak of the streets was more than | likely mere talk, and that the chances Ire that the remains are those of | 'ome drunk or tramp who was lying l within the building when the walls ell. The remains are evidently on | he surface of the ground as will be cen by little survey of the ruins, md the chances are this is the solu- ion of the case.
Weekly Phoenix herald., 1885-02-12

THE HERALD does not favor the segregation of the San Carlos coal fields from the Indian reservation. It sees in It a gigantic swIndle. It is afraid that some individual may reap pecunIary benefit therefrom and rather than that the Territory should reap the advantages which would be afforded by their segrega-
 tion 1t prefers to leave them lie idle and nproductive-,J0urn
 The HERALD is net at all certain that the Territory would reap one cents worth of profit if these coal fields were segregated; then, again, we prefer to give man ten dollars rather than to be robbed of five cents, even though it be under the disguise of doing the Territory good

EotIag on Subsidies

EDITOR HEKALD-On it's face the proposition to allow the voters of a community to say by a majority vote whether a certain measure that imposes burden on the taxNpaying portion shall be law or not seems at first sight to be correct and just; but the fact is, as proved by past experience, 'tIs only door left open for the thief to enter. Take a come munity nearly evenly divided on measure in which third party is pecunlarily interested to such an ex- tent that they or he can afford to expend $2,000 to carry his point; IS there reader of this article who will doubt for moment which side will carry the day? Say and prate as much as we may about the purity of the ballot box and the beauty of free ballot, the republican principle of the majority ruling etc., but when we come to test it on measure where money can be used freely It is lie coated, to hide it, with sen- timent. If the opinlon of 2 majority of the persons who will have to bear the burden of subsidy for rail- road is wished, let petition be cir. culated among the taxpayers pro and con and sent to our delegates in the Legislature aud they decide on the advisability of the bill. or if the question is to be left to vote, let the tax roll of 1884 be the poll list at the election and only those who are on it have a vote. In this way fair expression of the people can be had, and the only way. Shall the vagrants and bummers vote to im- pose a burden on the people who support them-'tis just what 1t will amount to if a subsidy bill is left to full vote of the voters of the county. Local option bills are frauds Of the vilest character and should not be countenanced at this day. Look at the number of cases that fill our law reports; how many subsidy cases will you find? Hundreds !! All voted on and carried by vote of the local community. They have been upheld even when the vilest frauds have been proved. Why? Because the bonds have passed from the hands of the first parties who committed the fraud into the hands of what the courts hold innocent holders, bona fide purchasers for value, and so it will be. If Marjcopa county wants railroad, if the busi- ness and farming men think it proper to give a subsidy let them | get to work now and advise our legislature of the fact; if not, let them speak so that it can not be mistaken. No legislature will force
 a bill on a people agalnst their ex- | pressed wish. But no voting on it; | if you do you are beat. Act at once, and don't wat until the bill has | passed and then curse those who passed It. If you want the railroad you must pay for it; if you do not | want the railroad (unless you get it 1 sratis) now is the time before the bill passes to say so; don't build your hopes on an election.
 ANTI-sUBsIDY.
Weekly Phoenix herald., 1885-02-12

he is not brilliant nor rhetorical,
 but he uses good language and seeks
 to get at the gist of question with
 out using superflous yerbiage. In speaking he uses few gestures; his
 delivery being quiet but self-pos-
 sessed. MT. Franklin has the rep
 utation of being a strong anti-monop-
 olIst, and has already introduced a
 bill to regulate freights and fares In the early part of the session he received the title of "watch dog of the treasury" but the pressure was too great ard the title would scarcely be appropriate now. Personally, MT. Franklin is pleasant and geu- tlemanly in manners. He Is not much given, as are many of his col- leagues, to hearing the chimes at midnight or examining the munici- pality. He is an industrious legis- lator and will show good record when the session is over.
 SAMUEL PURDY.
 Any personal description of Sam Purdy would be superfous task. Most of your readers have seen or met him, and there are few residents of Arizona who have not heard of ] him. This is his third session in the legislature Of Arizona. He has made his home in the Territory fer nearly fifteen years and is thorough- | ly conversant with all it's wants and | A lawyer by profess sion, a fluent talker and a ready he always commands the lttention of the House when he rises o address it on any question. As T he has no superior n either House. lie has every point It bls fingers ends, and many an ih~ member has found him. elf suddenly tripped up by 'point f order" or some other cunningly evised snare set by Samuel to catch he fledgelings in legislative lore. Personally, there are few more enial men in Arizona than Sam 'urdy. He is a welcome guest at very festive gathering, and outside f the House there is no more popu- IT member. He is power in the Iouse, and his influence is sure to fleet every measure that comes bes $ ore that body during the present sssion. CACTUS.

CANTATA OF ESTHER,
The Beautiful Queen.

The above-named bG<utiful orato- rio, which has been in preparation for some length of time back by our local musical talent, will be rendered on Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week, February 16th and 17th, at the Baptist church. Nothing in the musical line has ever been pro> duced in Phoenix, if in the Territory, anywhere approaching Its beauties and excellencIes, and we have heard enough of the rehearsals to feel warranted in saying that this rather difficult musical drama will be most creditably rendered.
 The following will be the person- ations.
