THERE MAY BE A CoMPRoMIsE.-It
is said in Washington that the efforts
of District Attorney Cole to have the
alleged policy firms of Beveridge y
Gardner and of Nelson Il Forster, at
Jackson City, arrested by the Virginia
authorities for the District of Column
bia have proved futile, owing to the
complications in the Virginia marshal's
office. 1t is an impossibility to take
them to Washington under the cir
cumstances, and it is stated that Capt.
Cole has agreed that if they will come
there voluntarily and plead guilty and
quit the policy business he will recon-
mend to the court that fine of $3.50
be imposed in the Neutrality-suspicious.
case and of $3.50 in the case of Gardner
and Nelson. If the deal is completed
the defendants will come in next week
and pay up.

Governor Foster has taken control OF
the situation in the city ofNew Orleans.
The city authorities practically admit
ted their inability to maintain peace,
and the Governor yesterday afternoon,
issued proclamation in which he says
that he has been aware of the scenes OF
violence prevailing in the city, and
which have been aggravated by the
shutting down of the gas and electric

criminals an incentive to ply their vo-

AND Now compliments to and COM
mendations of Mr. Harrity, chairman
of the national democratic committee,
are proGpse. There is no doubt that
Mr.. Harrity, and every other member
of his committee, worked we'll and
faithfully, and did their full duty; but
it is no less plain that Mr.. Cleveland
and democratic Congress would have
been elected if there had been no such
body as a national, or any other demo-
cratic committee. The people of the
country had become tired of the OPP
pressive, corrupt and personal govern
ment of the present republican admin

away with it, and they would have eX-
ecuted that determination without or
ganization and if there had never been
such body as democratic committee.
The voters had it in them to defeat Mir.

DrOaUned In Snake River.

A shocking tragedy occurred in
Snake river, three miles below Lew
iston, on Thanksgiving day, by
which William Wiggin, D. w Evans,
Reuben Neumeyer and Harvey
Williams were drowned. The party
were in skiff preparing to shoot a
blast in the rapids which the gov
ernment engineers are removing.
The craft was for an instant expos
ed broadside ON to the swift current
of the stream, and in that instant
it capsized and four of the six oc-
cupants were swept into eternity.
While three of the doomed men
were comparative strangers in Lew
iston, the fourth, Will Wiggin, was
a native of the town and univer-
sally beloved by everybody for his
good qualities and amiable DISPOSE
ton. The catastrophe is therefore
the saddest in the history of the
town, and the parents of the un-
fortunate young man are broken
hearted over the loss which has
befallen them.

Weather fine, with plenty of rain
to make good plowing. Many are
already sowing. No snow as yet, but
we feel that it is coming. And the
bawl of the old poor COW as she
wanders around the fence and longs
for winters snow to come causes
the rancher to utter a sigh of regret
as he scans his small stock of hay.
He should remember. the fable of
the grasshopper and the ant: "Make
hay while the sun Shines"
The sound of the hammer is heard
in the gulch and ON the hill, and
such a boom as Clearwater has ta-
ken in the way of new building is
something wonderful But our two
sawmills and Riebold's planer help
to make house building an easy
matter to what it used to be. Mr..
York's house is almost completed,
and adds considerably to the good
looks of the neighborhood. 7. F.
Sens has built two-story house on
his ranch. Ike Gunter has lumber
hauled to build new house. Our
friend Mclean has built another
story to his house right on the west
end of his old one. Jas. Mcpherson
is building a new house on his place
and makes remarkable progress
considering the time lost in going
across Clearwater. James is a good
boy and says he means to do better
when his house is done. Thus one
more bachelor is lost from us and
crossed to the valley Of. Well,
we wish him much happiness in the
undertaking, and God speed the
time when the last lonely bachelor
may embark on like voyage.

Have you seen Henry Wax's dis
play of holiday goods? 1t contains
many beautiful articles arranged in
tasteful manner. It is the most
handsome exhibition this store has
ever made, and exquisite taste has
been displayed in selecting the
goods, which are all new and novel,
and the prices reasonable. Mr.. Wax
decided to limit his purchases of
plush goods this season, and to in
troduce new features, and he has
succeeded admirably. He shows a
nice line of oxydised silver articles,
both useful and ornamental, that
are very fetching, as well as bric-a-
brac, bronzes, mirrors, ,pocket-books,
card cases, Burmese glass ware,
vases and art goods in wondrous
profusion. In fact, his whole line is
most complete and the profusion
and variety is dazzling and bewil-
dering. Mr.. Wax never marks goods
at fancy prices for Christmas, but
maintains the same close figures
that prevails the year through.
The tastes of all can be gratified at
slight tax upon the purse. You
have only to call and examine to
prove the truth of the statement.

enrich are ON deck early as usual

who is there who does not seek
this store almost the first thing in

novelties; toys of every conceivable
nature, from the cheapest to the
more expensive dolls, toy engines,
games, blocks, puzzles, desks, tools,
mechanical animals, musical instru-
ments, and multitude of little

readers should go and see for them
selves, and if they are in doubt as
to their gifts the varied stock of

 The party returned yesterday. l. consisted of MessrS. J. Culley, of Lond on, England, Leo N Leslie of Kansas City and D. E. Beatty, of New York. Seen this morning at one of the ho. tells, Mir. Culley tells that he and his colleagues represent English capital and that his present visit is prelimi- nary-with the view of looking over the land, It's fertility. lay and the possibiIi- ties or placing water thereon.

EDITOR CITIZEN
 4 building is soon to be erected, on the corner O. Stone avenue and Congress street, which will partly be occupied by the government for postoffice quar- ters.
 The common council should make Stone avenue 79 2-10feet in width, where 1t IS less than that. No damages would have to be paid except to MT. Mansfield, and the removal of all buildings could be left until the property owners them selves wished to rebuild. The blocks from Maiden lane to Pennington street, and from Congress to Ochoa street on the east side, should be sliced off.
 1t would be good plan to continue Stone avenue south to the south line of the city, ard establish railroad cross ing on north Stone avenue, and build 6 bridge across the creek. Tie latter -oad would be used in goiug to the university and to the cemeteres. The former mayor and common council at my request astabl shed the line for plant ing trees on Stone avenue, at l415 feet, where 1t was so feet In width, virtually making a sidewalk I6 feet in width.
 Tucson had few Spanlsh settlers be- tween 1752 and 1763 but It WAS like the Mis7lon, abandoned in the latter year.

Shoots Himself.

T. H. Seelig committed suicide yes- terday morning at 10 o'clock at the house of c. A. Luke by shooting him. self in the mouth with a pistol. The deceased has been rather extravas ant in his habits for some time, and besides failing in the cigar business, had been arrested on charge of embedding $500 of the funds of the order Of the Knights of Pythias, of which he was treasurer. His troubles worried him and he went to hard drinking, and had had an attack of the delirum tremens several times, but Mrs. Luke nursed him through. His friends took up a col lection to settle his difficulty with the lodge, and yesterday morning the moH- ey was paid and the suit against him would have been dismissed at the next trial.
 After the money had been paid, he went to his room, put oD his best clothes, took mattress from the bed, put pillow on it, laid down and pulled the fatal trigger.
 Beside being Mason and a Knight, he belonged to the engine company. He was fl years old, and a single man. He has relatives la Modesto California, who were telegraphed to yesterday. The funeral will occur today under the aus pices of the Masonic order.-Phenix Gazette.

It will have a room on Congress street, which will be open ed day and evening and supplied with free reading matter, for all who come. It will take the place of the free read ing room planned some time ago, for that part of tLe city. It WAS thought best that an organization should be be- hind the movement.
