GLOBE, Nov. 4 1890. FLORENCE EETERPBIsE:- Having read the letter n your issue of 1st in regard to the verdict in case of the for Indians sentenced to life imprison at for the murder Of Ed. Baker. l would state that some one. an cratic Globe news-monger, whose stock in trade IS fiction and who like bashful virgin fearing to attract the public gaze lest his already horid cheeks would become mantled with deeper flush. appears len mask and has this to say in your paper of the 1st in- staDt:
 ''The verdict in the case of Ed. Baker was a complete surprise to many persons who heard the evidence and especially to the attorneys. No white man would ever have been brought to trial on such flimsy evidence, let alone being convict ed. The fact of the business is, that the Apaches have piundered and murdered the people of Gila county so much and so long that they see in every Indian a mur- derer, an all that Is necessary IS to read an indictment to jury and the Indian is found guilty
 Although the testimony WAS cir cumstantial, 1t was sufficiently convinc- ing to as leave no room for doubt in the miAuS 0l dn impartial Jury, as to who were the murderers of Ed Baker, and thus 1t was. through the light of estab- lished rules of jurisprudence. that the of lenders were brought to justice.
 The nom -de plume. Globe, was not signed by 8 resident of this place, of that many are assured and the statement re- garding the verdict must be assigned to one of two reasons. Inattenti0n, if pres ent, if not, lack of judgment in connecting the links in the chain of evidence, by hearsay.
 Such opinions as the writer Globe has 1 expresed r, fleet greatly, not only on the jury. but upon every law abiding citizen of Gila county. But fortunately however the influence shed abroad by the pen ol this Indian protector fell on barren ground when perused by our citizens.
 Hoping this will meet the eyes of the writer Globe and his adherents we conclude by saying that the verdict 1 given in this case. was not only the sen timent of the jury, but of the peo pie.

A Clever Thief Indeed.
Iarn1arS' Wppl-lV.

Jewellers Weekly.
 It is natural that articles of great value are objects of temptation. We are pre- pared to understand that the common thief is constantly scheming to gain possession of precious stones and jewelry, but it is matter of surprise to learn, through stories that come from across the ocean, of the tricks indulged in there by the diamond trade-the legitimate every day dealers in precious stones. The pc culiarity of this condition of things Is that the sharp practice of dealers does involve their reputation or standing, the thing being looked at as a matter cf shrewdness and rather admired as a clever piece of business. An anecdote IS related to illustrate this:
 Dealer called upon firm with whom he was in the habit of transacting bus iness and asked to see lot of diamonds. After examining them for some time be returned the paper, saying he would call again in reference to buying them. Ii was at once noticed that large stone was missing. A nasty search was made, but, no trace of the stone being discover ed, the dealer, without more ado, was &C., cused of having taken the brilliant. He indignantly denied the charge, and sub mitted without hesitation to being search ed.
 The stone was not found, and profuse apologies were offered for the false &C., cusation. The following day the dealer appeared again, this time with a papl of diamonds to sell, but also with another object in view, which he took good care not to disclose. A careful observer might have noticed that while the stones were being examined at the light he ran hie fingers along the under surface of the portion of the counter near which he sat and picked off something that stuck to the wood It was nothing more nor less than the diamond which had so myster- iously disappeared the day before. He had fastened it to the counter by means of a piece of wax with which he had pro- vided himself, and on the occasion of his second visit secured his booty.

when the Trumpet IYm sound.


 A dispatch to the Globe Democrat from Wichita, Kan, says: A rival to Mother Shipton has arisen in the person of Mrs. V. Quimby, who claims that, for two years past, she has been making preparations for the resurrection of Christ, which she declares will occur on November 13, at midnight On the 18th she prophecies all the people on earth will be destroyed. with the exception of 144,000 who are to be the elect mentioned few will be chosen out of the many called" These will be transported to JerusaJ am. where King David will reign over them and whence they will repopulate the earth. Mrs. Quimby lives with her son and daughter, and all three are believers in the prophecy. They have disposed of all their worldly possessions; have made as tension robes, and to-day completed their cherubic attire by the purchase of white satin slippers. All three quote the Bible profusely in support of their belief and are apparently entirely rational.

The Country is Safe.
Star.

The country, however, is perfectly safe, and will jog along in the old fashion when the clouds roll by. Our people are endowed with the most desperate com mon sense and know when a bad law pinches their fingers. Give them a big issue, one which involves their real in terests, and they will reach correct conclusion every time. for our public schools, our magazines, and especially our newspapers, have stimulated thought and increased the sense of personal re- sponsibility

ONE of the best features of our election law is that requiring the saloons to keep their doors closed and locked during the hours the polls are open. Its benef- cent results were made conspicuous last Tuesday by the absence of all drunken ness.noise or hilarity upon the streets. The people were all quiet and orderly and the town bore the appearance of some strictly puritanical village upon Sunday. To the stranger in our midst this practice was in striking contrast to his preconceived ideas of the lawless frontier.

IT is certainly "an ill wind that blows nobody good" and out of the political cyclone that swept over the United States last Tuesday there may come crumb of comfort to the people of Arizona. A re- publican congress refused us admission to the union as state for partisan reasons perhaps a democratic congress will admit us upon those grounds.

Pima County. T-n.o CAo

From the returns at hand and from esti- mates it is safe to predict that Smith and Brady have carried Pima by small ma jority. Fred. G. Hughes has been elect ed by over 100 majority. Guss A. Hof, M. G. Samaniego, c. G. Suter, Geo. Pusch, Thos. Driscon republicans have been elected to the legislature. A. c. Bernard, sheriff; c. A. Shibell, recorder; Wm. M. Lowell, district attorney; John $. Wood probate judge; Frank Allison and Theo. Gebler supervisor, all democrats are cleo ted. The treasurer is doubtful, but Ben Heney, republican, appears to be the win ming candidate.

PHTHISIS MAY BE CURED
EXPERIMENTS OF PROFESSOR KOCH
 IN BERLIN.
His Assistants Round by Osth---EIght Pa . tients Sign Papers to Hold Him Blameless if KiIIed--DOctors Declare His Discovery
 of Great ImpOr-
 tance,

A Berlin telegram of October Both says: Professor Koch is making experiments in the wards of the Charity Hospital on eight slight cases of consumption. The patients have signed papers declaring that they will undergo treatment of their own free will without holding Professor Koch responsible if the result should un- fortunately prove fatal.
 The professor has one assistant who is bound by oath not to breathe to any one the slightest information of what he sees or hears.
 Professor Rock refuses to say more on the subject of his discovery of the cure for consumption than has been published in the National Zeitung of Berlin, except that metallic salts are used in the prepar- ation of the lymph.
 The lymph, having killed the bacillus, acts as medium to re-establish the pa- tient's health by it's inherent healing powers, and also fortifes him against the further invasion of the bacillus.
 The lymph IS obtained by long and extremely difficult process at great cost.
 The great difference between the lymph used for smallpox and that used for con- sumption is that Professor Koch inocu- lates only persons who are already strick- en down with phthisis. It is not expect ed that long standing cases of lung con sumption can be cured by the invention, as in such cases other parasites besides the tuberculosis bacillus eat their way in to the lungs. While Professor Koch's lymph only kills the bacillus proper it kills it immediately and stops the pro cess of consumption without question. The doctors who have seen the effects of the lymph declare that the new inven tiOn is superior to the discovery of chlor- oform, or the antiseptic treatment found by Sir Joseph Lister.

IT is not difficult to estimate the injury the Phenix Republican did to the Repub- lican cause in the late campaign by its reckless attacks upon the character of the opposition candidates.

The Dressed Beef Industry
Lns Vegas Stock Grower.

The business year of the house of Ar mour & Co.,, Chicago, closed on October first, and the exhibit which this firm presents for the past year Is interesting tor the magnitude of its operations. The extent of the beef production of the house is stupendous. They slaughtered six hundred fifty thousand cattle during the year, and also three hundred and fifty thousand sheep. The gross weight of these animals was approximately five hundred and seventy five thousand tons, equivalent to an average exceeding one hundred and fifty car loads of dressed beef for each business day of the year.
 The pay roll amounted to three million, five hundred thousand dollars, and al lowing an average price for the beef and mutton bought (better than the market has been), this expenditure for cattle would amount to about forty-thr ree mil lion dollars, which taken with the cost of labor, would still leave the Armours' surplus on the years business twenty two millions of dollars. These figures are all rather large to grasp, says the Miles City Stockman, but still one can easily see that on all the beeves bought, with labor added in, there IS still margin of a 5O per cent. advance on cattle bought for sla,- -ghter, so that the evidence ad- duced by the Senatorial Committee, which investigated the beef combine, goes for naught. The dressed beef men, it would be remembered, then claimed a profit of from one dollar to one and a half dollars on each head The Armours' annual statement show that for example: A thirty dollar steer after being paid for and the labor of converting him into dressed beef, glue, fertilizers and other products, is also paid for, the dressed beef man yet has an advance of fifteen dollars when his product is sold There is never any trouble about disposing of dressed beef products, so that the sales are as sure as the existence of the dressed beef to sell, and thus on each steer bought the dressed beef man, after the cost of converting into dressed beef has been paid, reaps an advance of fifteen dollars upon the amount invested.

REsULf or THE ELECTION.

As the smoke of the silent battle of the ballots is lifted glimpse over the field of struggle reveals the general results of the contest. The test of partisan
 lgth as shown by the vote for dele
 70 congres, brings to the republicans comforting hope that, with more psuleni management and less personal villiiication, their success may not be a rsmote contingency. for with all of Mark Smiths popularity and the disadvantages attending the opposition, the race was a close one compared with previous cam paigls. We feel quite certain that this mafgin would have shown a still greater reduction had restraint been placed upon the hot-tempered rantings of an over zealous but ill-advised press, and stronger appeals been made to the reason of the intelligent public THE ENTERPRISE championed neither side in the contest for delegate, and it abides by the result of popular will without the least exulta- ton or disappointment.
 hb uchI hS Cdu O0 ucboiAuAucu db tllln time the political complexion of the next legislature will be as follows: Council six democrats, five republicans and one independent; house fourteen democrats nine republicans and one independent Complete returns may change these figures somewhat, but they are approximately correct The indications point to the election of both democratic councilmer at large.
 The contest in Pinal county was very ' lively and peculiar one. The republicans . placed ticket in the field and hung c millstone about it's neck in the organiza ton of its campaign committee. Nearly all its nominees were previously pledged to the support of an independent candi date for sheriff and openly worked for him . Besides this, the republican candidate fol that office while being personally unob iectionable, was handicapped by the sup port of an element that was enough tc defeat any candidate. The republican committee centered it's fight solely upor that office and THE ENTERPR1sE, in be half of the welfare of the people, tool active issue with it and, backed by strong public sentiment, won victory.
 Among the many candidates TIE EN TERPRIsE selected for it's support sucl men as were, in our estimation, the bes qualified to fill the positions they sought and in advocating their claims it uttered no word derogatory to the character of single opposing candidate. Because i choose to exercise its right to do this al an independent, but by no means neutral newspaper, it was maligned and ridiculeC by the self-constituted leaders of the re publican party who used the columns O tue Phenix Republican to vent their bas' insinuations and groundless charges. Tn verdict of the people at the polls is, how ever, a complete vindication of our cours and standing rsbuke to our enemies With a single unimportant exception the entire local ticket supported by TIT ENrERPRIsE was elected and we fee proud of our contribution to this gratify ing result The new regime means complete reform in the political affairs O 'inaI county and faithful, administra Ion thereof. and the people who stooc
 quarely up to the issue are to be congrat alated upon their righteous.viotory.
