TF1E COUNTY's MONEY.

The late County Treasurer. as 1t appears from the investigations of the last Grand Jury, had money deposit ed with a bank in California, which is contrary to the law, which reads as follows:
 See Par. 542, Sec. 2l, Revised Statutes.
 ''The County Treasurer must keep all moneys belonging to this territory or to any county or this territory in his own pos session until disbursed according to law He must notp place the same in the posses sion of any person, to be used for any pur pose; nor must he loan or in any manner use or permit any person to use the same, except as provided by law"
 The Grand Jury also recommended, "that the Board of Supervisors pro vide suitable place to deposit the money belonging to the County, and that hereafter the practice of putting money on deposit with merchants and banks be discontinued"

(From The Moberly No, Moniter) | YUMA, Arizona, May 30, 1891.
 We'll, Buck, when you left Yuma I promised that I, being an old and tried Missourian, would keep you posted on Arizona, the Italy of America, and the treasure house of the continent. Now I do not in- tend to get enthusiastic, (Mis- sourians never do) and you know that 1 will not, cannot tell an un- truth. Well. to begin.-
 THE WEATHER
 is simply magnificent-neither hot or cold-iust right. We have not had a drop of rain since February 23. We don't want any. This is dry country, and herein lies the great secret of our health ful climate.
 OUR FRUITS
 are ripe, sweet and delicious. Figs, great luscious ones--white Adriatic- white Smyrna, giant blue, mission and black-everywhere, beautiful, ripe Lawton black kberries, fine de- licate India plums, rich apricots, white muscat grapes, lines to make your mouth water, all to be had, while the dates, pomegranates, lemons, oranges, prunes, bananas are all nearly at hand. The cherries are not doing as well.
 OUR MINES
 are growing better day by day. The steamers have been bringing in large amounts of rich ores from up the river, and the mine owners are hieing themselves off to the sea shore to while away a few weeks bathe in the briney deep, eat shrimps, Holsters, oysters and fish as they come out of the salt blue sea. 4 few weeks will see them all back. Placer gold continues to come in. The river is up on it's nerve and furnishes the liquid to wash away the sand and soil and leave the golden dust where the boys can gather it up and bring it in.

CHA CITY OR MONITOR,

as you call it, is being heard from. The boys strengthened out the kinks, fired up and the great pump poured out a noble stream and the result is they are satisfied, and 50 they ought to be, for $6 per day to the man does not hang On every bush, even back in old Missouri. We all have faith in those placer and quartz mines at Monitor Can't help it. For years the humble Mexican has toiled away at his work with pan or batteaux, washing the dirt away and getting out his $1, $1, ,25 per day and even more some days. Well, now, Buck, if one of those poor fellows can do that what ought your great pump do? 1 tell you the boys mean business, and they are workers. P. NJ. Potter holds his own and that is pretty good. Mining matters never looked brighter for old Yuma than they do to-day-mind that, old Missourian.

THE SUPkz INDIANS.

Instead of finding the Supai In dians in half starving condition as reported recently by Explorer Hola, bird, Lieutenant Duncan and party found them hearty and well. All the tribe we,e at home except four, and they were engaged in gathering and drying their crop of peaches, which Is unusually large this year. These Indians have fue facilities for irrigation and with ap abundance of water at all seasons of the year they have excellent prospects for good crop of corn this ycar.-Prescott Courier
 Brother Holabird run clean of the tract. He published long account of his travels among these well.known Indians, stating that he had found a hitherto unknown tribe, also stat ing that they were in starving con dition. His article was copied gen. orally by the Pacific Coast Press. It was replied to by one or two old travellers in the Supai country. Lieut.. Duncan was sent to look into the matter with the results as noted above. Mir. Holabird was real estate "beomer' in "boom" times in San Diego, Perhaps there was where his optic nerve became ca larged 50 as to see double. "Lo the poor Indian"

TORRES, the present Governor of Lower California, and Governor elect of Sonora, is to be made Secretary of the Interior of Mexico by President Dias, to take the place of the able Carlos Pacheco, who resigned on account of poor health. No better appointment could be mada. Educated, refined and able, Gen. Torres possesses the perfect confidence of all who know him. He is one of the best friends of the Americans, among all of the Mexican officials.

THE starting up of the pumps of the Yuma Punping and Irrigating Com pany, is matter of great importance to Yuma and its future. It will do more to build up the town and ad vance the best interests of every one here, than all the talk of score or two of "tenderfeet," "brakebeam tourists, or others of their ilk, whose main occupation, seems to be, to seek office, and live upon the honest earn ings of others.

promise as well. Great veins of zinc and two veins of tin ore have been discovered since you left, in the northern part Of the county. The new Goodman gold mill is ready to start up The Bonanza mill will soon roll out the golden dust. They expect to start up June 10. A good vein of antimony has been found near Monitor, and so it goes.
 NEW IRRIGATION PROJECTS are starting up here at Yuma. The mammoth pumps are in place and the boilers ready to ire up. Other projects are under way. Two of these have been started, one is on its first feet, the other bids fair to be very soon.
 THE FUTURE of the town and county never looked brighter. Buildings of brick and wood are going up. People feel hopeful. Who would not with such a climate, such a soil and with such vast natural resources- who would not feel hopeful and happy?
 When we saw the accounts of the cyclone in Missouri the other day, we thought of you and hoped that you would "Buck" it out in case it came you way. More by and-by.
 Yours for the cause of truth and veracity.

were dated March 8, 1885, and while
issued in his name the power Of attor-
ney had never been indorsed by him,
and they could never have been used.
OF these shares he had absolutely no
knowledge.
The next lot, FIVE blocks Of 200 shayea
each, was dated four weeks earlier
February 8, 1885. He was director in
the Girard Trust Company and Lucaa
came to him and asked him to obtain
loan of S4O,OOO on the stock. II
have been just foolish enough" said
Mr.. Wanamaker "all my life to do
those things and got the money on
the stock and gave it to him. Consid-
cradle time afterward it was paid off
by the Lucas estate and they got the
stock back"
Mr.. Wanamaker also presented the
committee with letter from John c.
Lucas, dated May 2s, 1886, inclosing a
check to pay the interest on this loan.
"Of the other unused five blocks of
stock" said Mr.. Wanamaker, my
impression is that Mr.. Lucas
at first intended to ask for
a larger loan and so issued
them. 1t was never used, however, as
it could not have been without my III
dorsement. / know of no other stock,
but / remember that ten years age
when Lucas was securing control of
the bank he came to me and said he did
not want people to know who certain
stock belonged to, and for time he
placed some in my name. In regard
to certificate No. $50, which was trans
ferred by II. II. Yard to Scudder & Dur
ham, of Trenton, that is a part of the
stock on which the loan from the Girard
Trust Company was secured, and after
the Lucas estate got it back it was very
likely to pass over to Yard again tc
raise money on"
The fact that some of the certificate:
held as collateral by Irwin & TolanC
were dated after Lucas death he said
was due to the brokers' refusal tc
handle them while in dead mans
name. In closing his testimony Mr.
Wanamaker read letters from Comp
troller Lacey and Assistant Secretary
Nettleton to show that he had neve
influenced or delayed the appointment
for an instant of receiver for the Key

to be carried TO bed and attend

it is probable she will never be able to
act again. Mrs. Langtry began an ac-
ton for assault against Mr.. Baird, but
when he sobered up he repented OF
what he had done and went to the
house. Then, to prevent this action,
he paid her g25,000.

One of the Famous Hanlon Brothers
Breaks His Neck at Clinton, Ia.
CLINTON, Ia, July 14.-During the
afternoon performance of Adam Fore
paugh's show here the crane broke
upon which William Hanlon, one of
the Hanlon-Volters gymnasts, was
performing. He missed the net
and fell to the ground, striking
upon his head and breaking his neck.
He only lived a few minutes. Two
doctors who attended him said that he
probably never knew anything after
he struck the earth. Great excitement
was caused by the accident, but the
performance was continued and quiet
was soon restored.
William Hanlon was 81 years old.
He was born in London, and has for
twenty-four years been associated with
the Hanlon-V VOTERS. Last August he
had similar accident at the Acadamy
of Music, New York, falling from
the dome of the thcater and
breaking two of the seats in the
theater. William Hanlon's work was
upon the horizontal bars in the
center, Robert and James Hanlon
doing the flying trapeze. The remain
ing two Hanlons will remain with
Forepaugh through the remainder oi
the season. William left wife, who
is now i'll in New York, but had nc
children. Coroner Myers impaneled q
jury, which returned verdict of acci
dental death.

A NOVEL COINAGE PROPOSITION,

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has thrown into
the complicated question of silver coinage a
proposition for the solution of the pending
dispute. 1t has the merit of novelty, and if
adopted would settle the question, at least
until submitted to the test of experience. 1t
can hardly be asserted that it simplifies the
issue much; and with regard to the ma.
terial effects of its adoption, it is much more
doubtful that it would simplify our cur
rency system.
In the last number of Bradstreet's, Mr.,
Atkinson, with more detail than we can re.
produce in this summary, lays down the
following iHdisputable propositions: That
the function of money is to furnish a
measure of rating of values in the inter-
change Of products; that the pu rpose of
coinage is 10 furnish Government eertif.
cate that the coin contains q measured ouan.
titv of the metal which Is used as money;
that while various metals have been and are
used as money, gold and silver are now
practically the only money metals that need
be considered; that commerce can be CON.
Quoted on large scale without any act of
legal tender, as is shown by the immense
volume of international commerce without
any act of legal tender; that it is
expedient that the coinage of all kinds of
gold and silver shall be made free, SO that
anyone desiring to have his gold coined
can do so and anyone desiring to have his
silver coined can do so; that to reach this
point with justice it is necessary that all
acts of legal tender should be repealed, so
that no one shall be forced either to pay or
receive gold or silver dollar he does not
choose to.
Up to this point Mr.. Atkinson s argument
has proceeded straight to this original
Free coinage and no legal
tender laws whatever. The idea is such a
radical one that, although, as will be seen
further on, it is not Mr.. Atkinson mafured
it is worth while to stop
moment and consider its significance. 1t is
q return to natural principles in the matter
Of coinage, without imposing legal tender

A DIFFICULT TASK.

With the view of getting the proper sort
of candidate for the next State campaign,
the Easton Free Press, after observing that
neither Quay nor an anti-Quay man can
unite the Republican factions, declares
"What we want is No Mans Man."
This principle is a first-class one, and if
it had been adopted in Republican politics
long ago things might have been different.
But against its practical application in the
selection of a candidate for the next State
campaign two very great difficulties inter-
vene. The first is to find man who answers
that definition, and who is willing to sur
render the advantages of the position to
become candidate the second is to get a
Pennsylvania State Convention to nominate
No Mans Man"
Ii the Free Press can perform these two
labors of Hercules 1t will demonstrate its
title to political leadership, and also will re-
habilitate the Republican party.
