Death of II. L. Kemp.

In our last issue it was stated that MT. Kemp had been injured by being crushed between two cars, and that the extent or nature of the injuries has not been ascertained As soon as Dr. Porter, our local physician, had thoroughly diagnosed the case, he stated that the bladder was ruptured in the upper part and that the injury was of such a nature that death would undoubtedly result. On Satur- day Dr. c. L. Toney, of Fort Grant, was brought here to consult with Dr. Porter. Everything possible was done to alleviate the suflerings of the injur- ed man, and he was given all care that love and friendship could suggest, but lingering in great pain until Monday afternoon, death came to his relief. Monday morning Dr. C.. E. GoodfellOw, of Tombstone, was wired for, but he did not arrive here until several hours after Mr Kemp's death. Dr. Goodfel low made an autopsy ofsthe remains, which proved that Dr. Porter's diag- nosis was correct, the bladder being 1u lJVulCOs | nCs 1libCbllllCo dnQ 1lh6I were also badly bruised.
 On Tuesday afternoon the funeral of MT. Kemp took place from the Methodist Church, and was one of the largest, if not the largest, that ever occurred at Wilcox. At half-past one o'clock all of the members of Wilcox Lodge, No. II, A. 0. U. w., of which the deceased was a charter member who were in town, marched to the family residence and escorted the re- mains and mourners to the church The services at the church were con ducted by Rev Mir. Crouch, and were affecting and mournfully interesting At the grave, the beautiful and i'm pressive burial service of the A. o. U w. was read by Mir. E. A. Nichols, who in the absence of Master Workman Gilman, acted as Master Workman and Past Master W. F. Nichols.
 In the death of H. L. Kemp, Will COX loses one of her oldest and best known citizens. He came here, witt his family, in 1881, from Illinois, anC has resided here ever since. He leaves wife and two little daughters, beside, a number of other relatives, to mourn | his death; and to these the heartfelt
 sympathy of the entire commuuit, is extended in their trying time O i grief and sorrow. No one in Wilcol could be missed more than Herbert l. Kemp. He was known to all, and hi
 friends were only limited by the ex tent of his acquaintance. Big-heart ed, generous, whole-souled Kemp, hal and farewell.-Wilcox Stockman.

Thought Her Papa Was Perfection

The precocity and cute sayings of chil- dren are frequently source of great amusement. When T. P Shonts, the general manager of the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa railway. was at the Palmer house day or two ago he received a let ter from home, and @ certain portion of 1t he read to Frank Brobst, the clerk of the hotel. This portion was about Mir. Shonts little 3-year-old daughter Mar guerite. The mother wrote that upon getting the child ready for bed the usual form of saying a prayer Was under gone. Marguerite had got through all right with the God bless Marguerite and make her a good girl; God bless mamma and make her good so she won't spank Marguerite; God bless papa and mako When she had got thus far she stopped, hesitated Q moment, then getting off her knees said very soiernnly to her mother: ''I des it ain't worth while astin Dod to make my papa dood man; he's dest about as dood as he tan be now.

Widow Parsons Fortells q Revolution
 Soon to Come.

t1SRAi Sb HAifE'
 CHICAGO, March 24th.-''yYe want revolution; whether peaceful or bloody makes no difference; revolution must come"
 These were the words addressed by the duslly anarchist, Mrs. Lacy Par sons, Co an audience of 25G0 men and women gathered at the 18th street Turner Hall to celebrate the eigh- teenth anniversary of the Paris Com mune last night. "I have but one ob- ject in life" screamed Mrs. Parsons, "and that is to make you discontent- ed-to make rebels Of you all"
 After talking in desultory manner on the "social problem" and how it was approaching a crisis, she continu- ed: "When the time comes-and sure ly 1t will--let Us use all mcane to bring about q revolution. Let Us act in these times of peace. Will it pay? Go ask the mothers and orphans of the 7O000 who lcli in the streets of Paris, ii it pays. Those who fell were martyrs, and the path We tread is ever strewn with martyrs. But all the blood should not flow on one side.
 "There are, my friends, stirring times before us. There are thoco who would slay us in cold blood, but let us not, as they were in Paris, he guided by nanby-pam1ly philosophers. Let us have generals. l don't wish to be understood as wanting to incite you but when the time comes we will carry the human race into a new channel. We live in stirring times, and no one knows when the first shot will be fired Let us all be ediscontented, then it only needs handful of men and women to reyolutionize the world. Then we shall have liberty. If you who are chained down to slavery got one idea of liberty you would rise up and be 1 men.
 'I am not seeking for martyrdom but they will not let me go on talking much longer. But am willing tc spend my last days in Joliet or have my breath strangled out of me in jail ] have but one favor to ask of you and that is, keep the torch of liberty alive. When I know that the rank. are filed I will be ready to go. w want revolution Whether it bc peaceful or bloody makes no difference A revolution must come.

A Good Man,

"There,' said neighbor, pointing to a village carpenter, there is a man who has done more good, really believe, in this community than any other person who ever lived in it. He cannot talk very much in public, and he does not try. He is not worth $2,000, and it is very little he can put down on subscrip- ton papers. But a new family never moves into the village that he does not find it out and give them a neighborls welcome and offer them some service He is on the lookout to give strangers a seat in his pew at church. He is always ready to watch with a sick neighbor and look after his affairs for him. l believe he and his wife keep house plants in winter mainly that they may be able to send little bouquets to friends and in valiaS He finds time for pleasant word to every child he meets, and you'll always see them climbing into his one horse wagon when he has no other load. He has genius fer helping folks. and ii does me gcod to meet him in tie streets. ? St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

4 Pat Illustration.

A funny incident occurred in Q Dan bury church last Sunday. The minister was talking in a very solemn manner, and the congregation was as still as it possibly could be. The preacher was discussing the social condition of the world, and concluded a long sentence with; ''Some of you, brethren, sleep away as placidly under the terrible dan ger of everlasting punishment" There was not sound, and in the midst of the stiffness a prolonged snore sounded out loud enough to be heard over the whole building. What made it still more laughable was the fact that it came from a well known citizen and a deacon of the church, who had become drowsy during the long discourse and nodded off, Hartford Timeg.

Struck Water.

A miner who came in from Jerome last night reports a singular disaster to the United Verde mines at that place. Three shots had been set off on Sunday afternoon in the S00-foot tunnel being run to connect with the Wade Hampton mine, which was fol- lowed by @ rush of water and debris, allowing the miners barely time to es- cape from the tunnel. The water shot out from the mouth of the tunnel un- der such pressure as to cause 1t to fly in solid volume several feet down the hill. The tunnel is five feet wide by seven feet high, and it is stated that for five hours the water run to it's full lest capacity. IL then subsided some, but when this miner left, yesterday morning, there was still about sixteen inches of water in the tunnel The only theory for this unexpected vol ume of water is, that an underground lake had been tapped by the blasts.
 The end of the tunnel had reached point nearly directly under the smelter and the discharge of the water caused cave in the surface of the slag pile, slag pots, etc., disappearing in the bowels of the earth. The ground on which the smelter stands is also badly cracked, and fears were entertained that a cave might occur al any moment, running the entire plant -Journal-Miner.

Cheapened Books,

The appearance of the latest English dictionary, absolutely unabridged and bound in cloth, at the low price of S1.75 a copy, lets a food of light on modern publishing methods. It would seem i'm possible to get out the book so cheaply, with it's vast contents, Its Greek and Latin roots, and all its complicated ar- engagements of type. But it was not set up at au It was simply photO-litho- graphed. Photographs were taken of the separate pages, and these were next made into electrotype plates to be printed on cheap paper and bound together. Of course the original cost was the mere trouble Of printing the book. In this way the standard works of science and fiction are now turned out at a cost that makes good library within every one's reach. New York Sun.

THERE will be an election held next November for the purpose of electing delegates to a constitutional conven- ton to be held in Phenix the following January for the purpose of framing a state constitution. This constitution will be submitted to vote of the peo- pie at the general election in 1890 and 1T adopted, Arizona will be in condi- ton to accept such offer of statehood as Congress may choose to extend. There is certainly no harm in prepar- ing for this coming change and, as the conditions of the law cannot be fulfilled short of a period of time coy ering almost two years, the argument of unreasonable haste cannot be urged against it.

A gentleman from Globe who came through the Verde Valley says the Tonto Apaches, about fifteen hundred in number, will certainly he placed upon the Verde reservation as soon as the snow melts in the Mogollons, and that is all they are waiting for. These Indians were moved from this part of the country to San Carlos about 1874, and are, of course, well acquainted with it. It is said that, after they were moved and supposed to be all out of the country, twenty-scven of them were killed by party led by Al. Sic Der, near Squaw Peak.

Reautfes of Walking.

It's good, brisk, after breakfast walk down from Garrison avenue to my place of business on Third street, and 1t makes me feel fresh as a daisy. I tell you there's nothing like winters morning and swinging two mile stroll to make your blood circulate and your brain freshen. But I've noticed one thing pc culiar about St. Louis. The women are better walkers than the men. There arc twenty young girls employed in stores who walk from their homes to business and back in the evenings, to one young man, as you can see by watching the pedestrians of a morning going down Olive street CT any other popular thor oughfare. This habit of waI-ing a great deal applies also to young St. Louis ladies who are in what is called the upper circles. It is a good thing, but has had one unlocked for result, which is the establishment of the St. Louis walk as a descriptive term. l have heard it commented on by strangers many a time. Our girls have free, vigorous stride and carriage which is remarkable. If they are walking with ! @ gentleman they have no trouble in keeping step with him.

Wasting Water.

1t is claimed by persons who should be we'll informed ill the premises, that the people of this valley have not yet mastered the art of handling water in our ditches. Said a gentleman to the reporter yesterday: "You see when the river Is high and the water is very muddy, very small amount is pe,- mitted to run in the canals. This is owing 10 misapprehension that if the muddy wa CT is turned in large quan- titles, the debris will fill up he canals and also to the fear that the waterways may be broken by the current. Both theories are wrong. A full head of water, which can be regulated by the headgates, Is no more dangerous when the river is high than when low, and 8 full head when the water Is muddy will afford current that will flush the canals, and prevent the debris from accommodating. As it is now the ditch fills up simply because the cur rent Is insufficient to carry off the debris, and when the water in the river becomes low, the canals are una ble to carry q sufficient supply. More than this, 1t Is well known that these "slickens" afford an unequailel ferti- lizer and are one of the greatest ad- juncts to good crops in this section. Now let full head of water be kept in the canals during these freshets, and open the supply gates and food all the lands. The result would be that when the river reaches a lower stage the canals would be clean and their capacity would not be curtailed, while by irrigating in times when the supply is bountiful less water would be needed later in the season" The suggestions are worthy of consider | ation.-Arizonan

TIE new law of Arizona requiring aliens to take out full naturalization papers before being entitled to vote possesses some very good features, al- though it may be considered some what oppressive to many who have enjoyed the elective franchise upon simply making the preliminary declar- alton of intention Co become citizens. The great register of Pinal county contains two hundred and fortytwo names of persons that, under the new law, must abstain from voting un- less they obtain their second papers, the larger portion of them being na- tives of Mexico. The old system was subject to the most fragrant abuses and the spectacle was not uncommon in exciting political campaigns of party strikers leading a lot of the most ignorant citizens of our neigh boring republic of Mexico up to the court rooms and providing them with the official open sesame to the ballot box, where they would be voted with out the least realization of wrong do- ing and without the least responsibil- ity in the matter. The new law will put 6 stop to this practice and will cut off one of the most prolific sources of corruption at the polls.
