Loves psm.aa.

Loves Demand. A man did woo maiden fair, With lovely eyes and golden hair; He swore to her he would be true, For her there was nothing he would not do. With loving gaze and expectant eyes, She told him that to gain the prize A hat from Mrs. Blaine she must possess, Or life would be but wretchedness. He bought her a besuty in every re- spect, It was simply elegant, yes quite select; She married him then without more ado, And they loved each other and the little hat too. Afl-lm

A Man Found Naked and Dead.

Ash Fork, Arizona, Dec. 16.- The body of an unknown white man
 about 26 years of age, was found on the line of the s. F., P. & P. R. R. eight miles south of here this morn- ing. When found the body was al- most naked, having only an under shirt on. The feet were scratched very badly, and footprints around in the snow showed where the poor man had walked around endeavor- ing to keep himself warm, stopping behind trees and clumps of under@ brush. Field mice had eaten one ear and part of a thumb from the body. which had apparently been lying in the snow for twenty-four hours. The deceased IS supposed to be alaborerby the name of Lyons who came here from Los Angeles a short time ago to work on the grade of the s. F., P. & P. R. R., but no one can fully identify him. He was found five miles from any camp, and some whispers of foul play can be heard, though there were no marks of violence on his body. It is believed that he stripped himself in a drunken lit and wandered away during the night and was frozen.

Their Reasons.

As the government is having some trouble with the Ute Indians, regarding their determination to keep their children from attending the Fort Lewis school, the follow ing item on the subject is taken from the Durango Great South, west.
 The Ute Indians have several rea- sons which they offer for not fur children for the Indian schools at Ft. Lewis.
 They do not like to be separated from their children, seeming to have the bump of parental affection as largely developed as it is in the phrenology of the civilized man. Added to this is the unreasoning and selfish characteristic which makes their fondness for their chil- dren resemble that of the tigress for her cubs.
 They insist that their treaty for removal was made in good faith, by all the Ute Indians, with white men who had authority to treat; and that by the terms of that treaty the government was to remove them to Utah and to give them schools on the Utah reservation.
 But the most serious objection is one which the Indians gave to the reporter this morning. They claim that nearly all the children at the Fit. Lewis school are nearly blind with sore eyes and by pursuing his inquiries the reporter learned that thls is not only true but the disease is contagious one and the Indians have good reasons to keep their children from coming in contact with it.

"Kid" Killing Mere People.

Fl Paso, Tex.-A Deming, N. M.. special to the Times says: News reached here this evening that Kid" and his band of renegades made a raid in western Grant county, New Mexico, last Friday, killing Bud Taylor, who was out hunting near the Grey ranche, owned by the flag gln & Hearst Cattle company. Tay- Tor was shot down and his body mutilated in a horrible manner. Everything of value was taken from the corpse. A man named Billings by, who accompanied Taylor, wit messed the tragedy some distance away and attempted to save his compadre by shooting at the mur derers. The savages turned on Bill ingsby and he barely escaped with his life. The same evening thirty head of fine horses were stampeded and stolen from the Haggin & Hearst camp, where the roundup was. Cowboys gave immediate pursuit and recovered nineteen head, forcing the Indians to take refuge in the surrounding mountains. United States soldiers are in close pursuit, but the renegades are sup, posed to have escaped into Old Mexico. The body of the mnrder- ed man was recovered the next day and given burial. The band only comprised eight Indians. This makes the fifteenth murder commit ted by "Kid"and his followers with in the past three months.

The admission of Arizona and New Mexico is being opposed by Senator Platt, of Connecticut, chair man of the Senate committee on territories. When asked about the matter by a correspondent of the Baltimore Sun he replied: "I ob- ject to the admission of New Mex leo on account of the character of the population and on account of the lack of education and illiteracy of the people as class. am op- posed to the admission of Arizona at this time for the reason that the territory has very small pop ulution and a very large debt. I am also opposed to the admission of that territory on account of some features in the constitution they have adopted that I would rather not see there" AS regards the char. acter and intelligence of our people the Senator is silent.-Williams News.

IT is all right to teach Spanish and German and other languages in the departments of the public schools, but the English is the Ian guage of the United States, and New Mexico should not be admit ted to statehood unless 1t is guar anteed that the English shall be taught as the language of the com monwealth.-Alb. Citizen.
 The Citizen is right, but it does not go far enough. English should be the only language taught in our public schools and all children, in a mixed population, should becom- pelled to attend and learn the lan- guage. If, from any cause, parents want their children instructed in a foreign tongue, let it be taught out side the public schools. It is i'm possible for any one, who does not understand the language of the country in which he lives, to per form all the duties of a good citi- zen in an intelligent manner. Let English and English only, be taught in our public schools.

A late telegram from Florence says: The special grand jury call ed on the Kibbey case. brought in a verdict last night charging Frank c. Kibbey with murder. The charge will be tried immediately in the dis trlct court with Judge Gooding on the bench. The case is one of pe- cullar interest, on account Of the fact that nearly all the people in Pinal county have either become strong partisans of Kibbey or bit terly against him. It is thought that it will be almost impossible to get an impartial jury in this county, and rumors of change of venue are heard. It will probably be ta-
 ken to Pima county if not tried here.

We are all Americans.

The following gems of thought and literary briliancy, are taker from Henry Watterson's speech 1T Chicago at the opening oftheWorld'i Fair:
 "The. curse of slavery is dead. Il was the joint heritage of woe, to be wiped out and expiated in blood and flame. The mirage of the con federacy has vanished. It was es' | sentially bucolic, vision of Area dia, the dream of most attractive economic fallacy. The constitu- ton is no longer a rope of sand. The republic represents at last the letter and the spirit of the sublime declaration. The letters that bound her to the earth are burst asunder. The rags that degraded her beauty are cast aside. Like the enchanted princess in the legend, clad in spot less raiment and wearing a crown of living light, she steps in the perfec- tion of her maturity upon the scene of this. the latest and proudest ot her victories, to bid a welcome to the world.
 There is no geography in Ameri- can manhood. There are no sec- tions in American fraternity. It needs but six weeks to change a Vermonter into a Texan; there never has been time when, upon the battle field or the frontier, puri- tan and cavalier were not converti- ble terms. having in the beginning a common origin, and diffused and diluted on American soil as no lon- ger to possess local habitation or a nativity except in the national unit.
 The men who planted the signals of American civilization upon that sacred rock by Plymouth were Eng lishmen, and so were the men who struck the cast little lower down, calling their haven of rest after the great republican commoner and founding by Hampton roads a race of heroes and statesmen the men, ton of whose names brings thrill to every heart. The South claims Lincoln, the immortal, for it's own i; the North has no right to reject Stonewall Jackson, the one typical puritan soldier of the war, for it's own. Nor will itl The time is coming, is almost here, when hang ing above many mantle-board in fair New England, glorifying many a cottagein the Sunny South-shall be bound together in everlasting love and honor two cross swords, carried to battle respectively by the grandfather who wore the blue and the grand mother who wore the gray.

The San Juan Gold Fields.

| richness are still the most impor- tant topic discussed in this and the neighboring towns. But the fact still remains that the news from the new camp is still rather meagre. I Of all the citizens of Flagstaff who have left during the past thirty days, not one has returned to town or sent any report from the diggings, neither has any one ever seen any gold, aside from one or two speci- mems, that has been taken from the San Juan.
 But the fact is that all the par ties intended returning immediate ly if no gold was found. They have all stayed and that is what convinces those that have been going the past two weeks that it is a rich field for every one.' Hence the great rush and consequently disappointment for many, while a few may make something.
 The San Juan gold fields can be reached more conveniently from either Flagstaff or Winslow than from any other point along the line of the A. & P. The road is good. and from this place to Tuba City wood and water is plenty. The dis tance to Tuba City is no miles, from that place to the San Juan about 75 miles. There is plenty of grass on the hills around the new camp. There is no grass between Tuba City and San Juan river, and none on the reservation. There have been many extraordinary stories in cir culation during the week in regard to the richness of the dirt in the San Juan. None of the stories how ever have any foundation.
 The Sun has endeavored to get information that is reliable, and has seen one party just in direct from the new camp, but like all the rest he did not have any evidences of gold but said his partner had it in their camp at the San Juan. The richest dirt lies in the bed of the San Juan river, and a man can take out from $3 to $50 per day, and that the average is $10 per day. The washing is all done with pans. There is no lumber in camp to make sluices and washers. What little lumber that has been shipped there is TO. for sale. although it could be sold at fabulous prices.
 There is but few supplies in the camp although there are a good many wagon loads of provisions on their way now. But as it takes loaded wagon about 15 days to make the trip one way, supplies will be short for some time to come. Two restaurants and as many sa- looms were in operation ten days ago.
 The quickest time in which the San Juan can be reached from this point, and it is the nearest, is in five days, the country after leaving;Tuba City being very rough. Four teams left yesterday loaded with provi- sions and future millionaires, and it is the same every day.
 The weather in the San Juan val ley, is cold at this season of the year. Snow falls in the valley but does not remain, but there is plenty of it on the hills around.-Coconi- no Sun.
