Stick to your home paper: no mat
 ter if you are poor: remember none are so poor as the ignorant, except the depraved, and they often go to- gether. Keep up your home paper, though it may not be so large and i'm posing as some metropolitan weekly it is the adviser of your neighbor- hood concerning the daily business, and tells you what is going on around you instead of q thousand miles away. If it is not quite as large and good as you wish it, pay your sub scription promptly, advertise liberal ly and all the time, and rely upon it, the natural pride of the publishers will prompt them to improve it as fast as possible.

IN regard to the recently circulated report that Geronimo and his gang of cutthroats were to be returned to this territory, Washington dispatch says that the authorities at the war depart ment declare the statement without foundation. "Geronimo and his band will never be returned to Arizona, said Adjutant- General Kelton. Il do not see how such an idea originated. The fact that Captain Pierce of Beni- cia arsenal has been ordered East for consultation regarding the Apaches may have given rise to the thought that these Indians are to be again al- lowed to roam at will in thetr native mountains" Then General kelton explained that few weeks ago the Indians Rights Association of Boston held an extended interview through their chairman, O. O. Howard, upon the subject of further civiliZing the Apaches. now numbering 3S0 souls, located in the mountains of northern Alabama. That conference resulted in elaborating scheme for locating these Apaches ill another state and on a permanent reservation, where they can be gradually initiated into the method of self-support and more thorough civilization. Captain John Burke, of the Third infantry. in com- ranv with Professor Painter, of the Indians Rights Association, is now travelling through the northern states for the purpose of negotiating for land on which the small band of In dians may be placed. The Indians themselves desire to be left where they are. The country in which they live is mountainous and ill some re- spects similar to their ancient home from which they are eXiled. The white people in their immediate yi cinity, howeqer, object to their pres ence. Since their residence in Ala bama the Apaches. with two notable exceptions, have observed the usual proprieties of peace, but their gen. eral reputation for bloodthirstiness does not commend them for neigh borly qualities.
 Ut is not generally known" con- tinued General Kenton, "that there is large settlement of Seminole Indi- ans already located in the mountains of North Carolina, but such is the fact. They are not only civilized. but they have the right to vote. They do vote, and vote the republican ticket at that It is quite probable that the gentlemen engaged in selecting a permanent location for the Apaches will decide upon some mountainous region along the Atlantic coast. In fact, the location is about settled up- on, and when everything is definitely
 arranged Geronimo, who is now iu
 exile. will be restored to his tribe, and
 sent with them to their new home
 But not one of the Apaches will evel
 again see his native mountains il

REV. WILLIAMS, the Methodist preacher of Silver City, wants to get into politics and is candidate for the constitutional convention. He is consequently catching blazes from several of the newspapers of that ter ritory. It strikes us that the Rever- end gentleman has his hands full in trying to pound religion into the souls of Silver City sinners, without run ming any chances of being corrupted by close association with the wicked New Mexican politicians.

THE Tucson Star, always an enemy to Graham county, publishes an arti- cle to the effect that there are num- Der of parties in this county who are making some pretty wild threats against United States marshals and other officials on account of the ar rests made in connection with the Wham robbery. Of course, this is only an effort to create sympathy for Hughes pets, and to prejudice, if pos sible, public opinion against the par ties held by the United States Court
 Commissioner at Tucson. It is un- necessary to say that an officer in the discharge of his duty is as safe in this county as any other section of the territory, and the pin-headed editor of the Star should be made to under stand that it is not profitable to blackmail law-abiding citizens for the purpose of boosting up gauzy case.

THE Board of Supervisors of Co., chise county do not own a newspaper and have the interests of taxpayers at heart. They recently opened bids for county printing, and, taking ad- vantage of the competition between three county papers, will have its publishing done at very low rates for the ensuing year, viz: For advertiS- ing, first insertion, 9 cents per inch, nonpariel type; second insertion, 5 cents. For publishing proceedings, cent per inch The highest bid was 45 cents tor advertising and 25 cents for publishing proceedings. This gives some idea of the outrage per petrated by the board of supervisors of this county, which let the printing to King Solomon's paper at Sl.6O per inch for advertising and 80 cents for publishing, THE CLARION having bid over 100 per cent less. And the Board excused itself by saying that tha Bulletin bid was reasonable

The Blue Grass CommitteI

AAS hShtae
The joint committees of the board Of trade
and the horticultural association held a meet
ing at the court house yesterday afternoon
to perfect their arrangements for the Potta-
wattamie exhibit to be made at the Blue
Grass palace at Creston. 1t was decided TO
send Mr.. L. A. Caspar to Creston tomorrow
to see what space has been reserved for this
county and how large an exhibit can be
shown to advantage, as well as the arrange
ment of the exhibit. Mr.. Caspar will report
at another meeting to be held next Saturday.
Mr.. Caspar and u number of other gentle
men will be sent down a week from Tuesday
with the articles to arrange the exhibit and
put it in shape, besides arranging the floral
decorations. 1t was decided to have all ex-
cept the perishable articles left at the Mer-
riam block next Saturday, the 18th inst, in
stead of the 10Th, as previously announced
The change was made to accommodate the
farmers, who find it much more convenient
to come to the city on Saturday than on
Monday. The canvassing committee reported
that they had met with splendid success
through the county, and that the display
would be one worthy of the Lar gest and best
county in the state. A number of details
were arranged, after which the meeting ad-
journed for one week.

stopped a Contractors Work.

Yesterday morning Contractor Bosen and
seven of his carpenters employed on the new
Evans block on South Main were arrested,
charged with violating the city ordinance
relative to erecting frame buildings within
the fire limits. The building permit, No. $40,
was issued July 10, and calls for q $1,000
building Of galvanized iron and slate roof.
The construction of the building has caused
considerable comment, from the fact that it
is located on q lot, a part of which is claimed
by the city for a waterway. The south wall
of the building was started with studding,
after the manner of an ordinary frame
structure, with no fire wall between it and
the adjoining building. The attention of the
chief of the fire department was called to il,
and he filed the information that led to the
arrest above referred to. Contractor Bosen
promised the court that no further work
should be done until the matter was settled,
and the defendants were accordingly re-
leased. The case will be tried Monday. The
owner of the property, I. j. Evans, is out Of
the city. The contractor states that the
building will be of corrugated iron and brick
and in compliance with the ordinance. The
chief of the fire department says that the
building was being built in violation of the
ordinance, but he took no action in the mat
ter because the contractor told him that
there would be a brick fire wall erected on
the south side.

1t is proving to be a more difficult matter to
create a new channel for Indian creek where
the improvements are in progress than was
at first supposed. When the work was left
Thursday night, the old creek bed was
damned up and the water flowing nicely
through another ditch. cut straight for the
Second street bridge. The furious rain that
fell during the night cut the new banking
entirely away, and in the morning the new
ditch was partly filled with the debris
brought down by the water, while the creek,
in the old bed, was having things all it's own
way. Work was resumed on the proposed
change, and will be. prosecuted vigorously
until the water course is fixed where it is
wanted TO be, and the abuttlng embank-
ments are filed ,out, to the protecting plank
