A FEW, and very few persons "f the opposite political faith, oppose Mark Smith for delegate to the cons stitutional convention on the groun' that it is showe'ing :oO many hOnors upon him. The PRosPECTOR fails to call to memory an instance of where the public ever suffered from the showering of honors upon Q worth! and capable public servant. If the constitutional convention Is not to be . farce, if it is to he serious attempt to gain Q fOuthold in the union Ol states, such silly talk should not b' countenanced. The failure to send our delegate to congress to the conven- ton to frame constitution would be simple suicide. He is the one to whom will be consigned the duty of asking our admittance. A practical Knowledge of the contents of our petition would be an essential advantage that coul'' not be otherwise gained. It is no' Mark Smith whom the people ar. asked to sen as one of our delegates to the convention, but it is the repre- sentative of the Territory of Arizons a. the national capital. If the nam. of our congressman were Genera Wilson or George Cl,eyney, it would be no less the duty of the people to asl them to take part in framing our shil of state.

Domestic Happiness !

pesky agents, who just about make life
uncomfortable, trying to work a cheap,
worth ess instrument. So just kept still
and when was ready for business, visited
Mr. Pelham at Shoninger's and told him
desired piano of good quality at a reason
able price and on easy terms. What's the
use of bothering with a weak house, es-
pecially when you have got to do business
with them for long time. Good, old
fashioned American dollars and plenty of
them should be behind evory company
that sells SO expensive thing as piano,
that the customer may be protected, and
q warrant mean more than word of
mouth"
Mary-"I am charmed with the piano.
Our girls have been talking about buying
one themselves. Would you mind telling
the price ~
mot at all. 1t is one of Shoninger's
best and cost $500, but You see, they being
the manufacturers, every customer gets a
discount from the regular price, as it
stands to reason that they can do better
| than small dealers with no capital or re-
putation behind them. They have pianos
at all prices, but go on the plan that
good economy consists in always buying
| the best"
Fright you are. 1 always did give you
credit for being pretty clear headed and
now l am sure of it. We might as we'll
be out of the world as out of fashion. So
of course We shall get Shoninger Piano,
| the Lord willing, after Easter.

Nearly Kill n Half Breed Indian Boy
in New Milford.
NEW MILFORD, March 31.-A gang of
matters have been on a big spree here
for several days. Sunday afternoon a
party of them hired a team of Livery
man Jennings to go for ride. As they
did not return in the evening the owner
of the team became suspicious and tele
phoned all over this section of the state
to the surrounding towns. No trace of
the hatters or the team was found.
About two o'clock yesterday morning.
however. the drunken crowd returned,
but refused TO pay for the team and
grew quarrelsome. Policeman Nearing
was called upon to adjust matters. He
was violently attacked by the matters W no
pounded him severely. During the
melee Nearing managed to grab one of
his assailants and held him until help
arrived. Yesterday another party of
drunken matters caught a half breed
Indian boy named Benson, 16 years old
and poured liquor down his throat until
he was insensible. They then robbed
him of about $12 and left him lying on
the ground near the railroad track in a
deep stupor. In this place the police
found him in the afternoon, and locked
him up to sleep off the effects of the
liquor. 1t is feared that the boy may
die. 1t is thought here that the liquor
was drugged for the purpose of robbery

JAMES SUTTON IN CHARGE.
Selectman Pinney Trying to Make
SpIit in the Democratic Ranks.

Selectman Pinney Trying to Make a
Split in the Democratic Ranks.
Selectman Pinney to-day placed
James Sutton in charge of the gang
upon the town roads, and is waiting for
the other side in the game of political
chess to make another move. The crisis
is near at hand and this desperate move
was taken by Mr. Pinney to prevent if
possible the checkmate that Saturday
nights town meeting is almost sure to
bring about.
under Superintendent Fruin threw up
the job this morning as soon as Mr. SUIT
ton put in an appearance and Others
| will follow his example. Indeed, it is
said that those of the old gang who do
not promise allegiance to the new ad-
ministration will find their heads Topped
off whether they like the operation or
not.
Mr. Sutton was not appointed because
of any special qualifications for the posi-
ton that he may possess. Not at all.
1t is simply a republican dodge to create
breach in the democratic ranks and
thus stem the tide of disaster that the
coming town meeting threatens to
bring to the republicans. 1t viii
fail of its purpose. Mr. Pm
ney made a mistake when he, d
democrat, stood as candidate for the
party that was opposed to his principles.
He was made the tool of the republican
machine and has had hard road &C
travel since his election, and the rank
and file of the republican party are
laughing at his discontinue.
Personally we have not word to say
against Selectman Pinney. But he is IL
the wrong boat.
