The mail carriers were pressed into
service to carry provisions to the repub-
lican house during the siege. They
could pass the guards without fear.
The senator's did not become unduly
excited at any time. But they were too
much interested in the warlike proceed
ings to do any business Friday forenoon.
On Thursday difficulty occurred be-
tween the state house guards and deputy
sheriffs, who wanted to enter without
passes. A guard was struck on the head
and knocked down.
The sledge hammer which was used TO
break the doors was presented by the
mob to Geo. L. Douglass, TO be used as q
gavel. The presentation took place on
Wednesday in representative hall.
In q skirmish between some OF the
sheriff's thugs and the contingent Of the

the face by negro and seriously hurt.
There were very few men, either high
or low, hanging around the state house
last week, who did not have q gun con-
cealed about his person. For two days
not light weapon could be found on
sale in Topeka.
A strong smell Of beer and whisky
ascended the stairway along with tho
crowd that bombsrded the door Of repro
sentative hall, and that, together with
the other wild and woolly demonstra-
tions, was good evidence that artificial
courage had been called into requisition.
On Tuesday Clevenger, the republican
sergeant alarms, was sent to Labetts
county to arrest l.. @. Gum, an officer Of
the regular house, who was to be con-
victed Of refusing to obey the orders OF
the Douglass house. Clevsngsr thus
escaped being ordered to arrest Ben
Rich, but he says he got his man.
On Saturday Judge Hazen granted q
permanent injunction against paying
money from the state treasury in accord
ance with the bill passed by the Populist
house and senate. In his voluminous
opinion the court said he was Of the
opinion that the act was illegal because
the house was not legally organized.
Rev. Todd, Of Topeka, was one Of the
first to enlist in the provisional militia,
and Rev. @. H. Rogers, Of ArkRnSas City,
was one Of tho first to wire an offer Of
aid. These two preachers togsthsr

reckoning with. Rev. Garrison, Of FL
Dorado, and Rev. Lathrop, Of "KanSas,"
would make it still stronger.
Mrs. Laura Johns, the dear, silly old
lady, hung around the mob in the state
house Wednesday night until she was
invited to make speech at / o'clock In

Of Miami. They found a willing listener
in the governor and before noon q cont
mittee from the Douglass house called

tions were considered but when night
came solution had not been reached.
Many Populists wanted the governor to
disperse the militia without compromise
and leave representative hall to the re-
publican members and the sheriff's
thugs, and many think yet this would
have been the best plan.
More troops arrived during the day,
and when night came the tension Of pub
lie feeling had not sbated particle. The
state house grounds began to look like a
military camp. Passes were necessary
to gain admission to the state house.
Messages came pouring in from the
friends of both sides telling them to
stand firm and not finch. Many came
from outside the state. The eyes Of the
nation were on Kansas

TAX PAYING

moSphere.
Even in prosperous times the pay
ment of taxes is regarded as an una
voidable hardship; in seasons of fnan-
cial depression the payment becomes a
sickening impossibility followed by ter
rible consequences. So the Office of the
tax gatherer may be taken as a guage
house for the measurement of the f.
nancial atmosphere. If 30, Maricopa
county financial skies are as cloudless
as those other skies which have given
southern Arizona climatic fame through.
out the United States. A REPUBLICAN
reporter spent some time yesterday
afternoon in and about the office of the
county treasurer making study of the
monetary barometer. He was sur
prised and pleased to observe that a
large mum Der of persons called to pay
taxes which need not have been paid
for the next two months. Among the
number was Mr.. S. D. Lount, who care
lessly handled more twenty dollar gold
pieces than might have been supposed
to be in circulation. His taxes
amounted to 1892 and were paid with a
willingness which was almost as en-
thusiastic as that of man who makes
a big contribution to the church of
which his mother-in-law is a respected
member. When asked why he was so
precipitate in getting rid of money
which he might use proftably for the
next sixty days, he replied that he
wished to relieve himself of disa-
greea BILE task.

ROBBED AGAIN.

William Morse Falls in With High
Waymen.
VIM. Morse has been robbed again.
Mr.. Morse is horse sheer at Marshall's
blacksmith shop, and has been plumber
ed more frequently to the square inch
than any man on the coast since stage
robbing became an obsolete practice in
Arizona. Last Sunday Mr.. Morse set
out for Mesa to visit an acquaintance.
He missed his way and got into the
country south of Mesa. While driving
along an unfrequented road, he was
met by two Mexicans, one armed with
a gun. Mr.. Morse was called upon to
deliver and did so with the same
activity with which he puts shoes on
horses feet. He had only ten dol
lar bill, but this was SO much more
than the highwaymen expected thas
they expressed much qualification and
babe their victim an affectionate adios.
Their good wishes didn't count for
much for Mr.. Morse continued on his
mistaken course. He finally brought
up at what he believes is Kyrene, any
way he could see the ella River bridge
away in the distance. He wandered
back to Phoenix along in the evening
almost wishing be had remained in

A Wonderful Machine.

There is no doubt that man is a fine
mechanism, but like every other ma
chine he wears out by friction. 1t is
said that he is born again every two or
three years. His body is virtually re-
made from food. To retard this max
ing over is radically wrong, as a man
loses SO much vitality in the delayed
process that it takes long time to re-
cnperate. The process OF making anew
is SO accelerated by purging with Brand
reth's pills that new man, as it were,
may be made in two or three months,
and the change in the mechanism is
such that the worn out part is replaced
by the new without the usual running
down of the entire machine. You
don't have to stop for repairs. Purge
away with Brandreth's pills the old,
diseased and worn out body. They are
purely vegetable, absolutely harmless,
and safe to take at any time.

Foot ball was firmly and forever es-

hereafter in point of interest the great
American game must occupy seat in
the rear of the English sport. The con-
test between Britishers and Athletics
at Phoenix park was witnessed by q
large crowd, whose interest grew in in
tensity with the progress of the game
and rose to its highest point during the
scrimmage which acknowledgements
the touch down. Both elevens were in
good form, and since the last meeting
had acquired great deal of technical
information. The Britishers had, how
ever, superior practice and experience
which won for them the first half after
a thirty minutes brisk contest. Their
team was filled with two members of
the Phoenix Athletic association. The
elevens were arranged on the field in

"Oregon Bill" is a character who
drifted into town several days ago and
represented himself to be a person OF

the master of ceremonies on all &C.
casions, assumed management of the
affair.

to undergo some spiritual preparation
against Frosty's deadly aim. 1t hap
pened that that night was the last of
three night seance which was being
held at the pious domicile of Nine
Nellie so it was decided to take Bill
there and let him prepare himself for
the hereafter. What happened ia best

time one of the boys give Bill a ten
dollar counterfeit an told him to pay
for the dance himself. Bill went up to
the counter after the set was oyer and
laid the counterfeit on the counter.
The niger looked at it an says,
'Wot! you'll pass counterfeit on this
here house = an he dived down into an
ice chest and brought up a gun. You

THE HARTFORD BANK CASE
Taking on an Interest Almost SEN
Sational,

S0llOIdlI
One of the chief topics of converse
ton yesterday was the suit, an &C.
count of which was exclusively pub.
lished by THE REPUBLICAN on Sunday
morning. by depositors of the defunct
Hartford bank against the Banking
company and the Maricopa & Phoenix
railroad company, to invalidate the
mortgage given by the former on the
night of its failure to secure a claim of
the latter in preference to the claims
of other creditors.
Those who are taking the greatest in
terest in the case are the depositors
who are not in the suit but who are
likely now to be drawn into similar
cases against the bank and railroad
company. The charges made by the
plaintiff as to the time and manner of
the execution of the mortgage invest
the case with an interest which borders
closely upon the sensational.
