Ben. NJ. Crawford and Jas. Finley Of
Tucson, were In the city Wednesday
on their way to Clifton to look at a
mining proposition.
Mrs. S. w. Massey Of Duncan, was
In the city Wednesday to meet her
mother, who was just in from Kansas
to make a visit OF some weeks with
her daughter.
Judge T. J.. Fitzgerald Of Solomon
vile, was In the city Wednesday, fer
the first time 10 four years. He was
enroute to Clifton. The judge used
to be a frequent visitor, when he was
mixed up in Graham county politics.
Since he has quit politics he seems to
have grown Compliant and prosperous.
Last week a party Of Tomochian In
dams, who have been fighting against
the Mexican government for some
months, attacked the custom house at
Las Palomas, and robbed it Of all the
cash on hand. Word was sent to
Chihuahua and troops dispatched to
again guard the place. The people at
Juarez have been greatly concerned
for fear that these Temochlans would
attack that town. Heavy guards have
been posted, and several suspicious
characters have been arrested.
The libel cases and contempt cases
against the Phoenix Gazette continue
to bother the people Of Arizona. After
Editor King was sentenced to thirty
days in the Tucson jail and fined 800,
Editor and Proprietor Dunbar was
sentenced to sixty days in the same
place and fined $500 for the article
that Editor King wrote. Judge Barnes
who was mixed up in the case and
sentenced to ten days in the Tucson
jail was turned loose. The Arizona
papers will have to adopt the French
plan. The prominent French papers
have what is known as the responsible
editor. When a man comes and wants
to know "who wrote that article" he
responds and takes the licking, pro-
vlded he does not give 1t. When the
editor is to be sentenced to jail for
some supposed to be libelOus article,
it is the responsible editor who goes.
In that country only one mar is locked
up. In Arizona all the editors seem
to get it in the neck and the printers
fly out of the back window.

II. @. Day returned this week from
a trip up to Kansas where chad been
to look after'some cattle he had sent
up there last spring. There had been
a drouth in Kansas and his cattle were
as poor as snakes. He estimates that
they would have been worth a thou
sand dollars mere IL they had been
kept on his range during the summer.
The Chinaman who was hurt in the
%turntable last week was taken to San
Francisco and turned over to a Chi
nese doctor, who says he will soon
have him all right. His thigh bone
was crushed for a distance Of five in
ches and no white doctor would think
of doing anything but amputate the
limb. Cinnamon do. not like amputa-
tion and so, at his wi request, he
was sent to the Chinese doctor.
Col. Willis j. Huling arrived in town
Wednesday to look at his mining prop
critics at Shakespeare. The colonel is
figuring on putting in a teaching plant
similar to the one in Clifton, for the
reduction of the Shakespeare ores.
The Colonel's chief business in coming
west at this time was to visit Phoenix
where he is interested in an irrigation
scheme. His scheme, IL successful,
will cause about three bushels OF
wheat to grow on a piece of ground
that is now busy nourishing one soap
weed.
There is more trouble orthe sheriff
of Santa Fe county. 1t may be re-
membered that some time ago the
governor claimed that Sheriff Conklin,
who was elected last fall did not turn
over the money he collected with the
promptness the laws demanded. Sc
he fred the sheriff and appointed a
mar named Cunningham in his place,
Recently the county commissioners
got to Investigating the matter and
found that Cunningham was no more
honest than Conklin was claimed to
be. He had not settled with the treas
urers for some months. They told
Mr.. Cunningham to show cause why
he should not be fired. Cunningham
flew to Albuquerque, consulted Cleve
lands new Judge, Collier, who issued
an order to the Santa Fe county com
missioners in%structing them to max,
no change in the office of sheriff befor,
, next July. Before this order could b
: served on the commissioners they hal
fred Mr.. Cunningham and appointe
Harry Kinsell as sheriff. At last az
7 counts Kinsell was getting his bond
shape.

THE BEST PLAsTER.-Dampen a
piece OF flannel with Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and bind it over the seat Of
pain. 1t is better than any plaster.
When the lungs are sore such an APP
plication on the chest and another on
the back, between the shoulder blades,
will often prevent pneumonia. There
is nothing so good for a lame back or a
pain in the side. A sore throat can
nearly always be cured in one night by
applying a flannel bandage dampened
with Pain Bolm. so cent bottles for

gard to the John Dunbar matter was
relieved. Mr.. Dunbar is a free man.
Early today the following telegram
was received;
FLORENCE, Nov. Is, 1893.
MR.. FRED HUaHRs, Tucson; / am
a free man. JOHN DUNBAR.
The decision was received y%ariously
around town, with enthusiasm, denun-
citation and Indifference.
The grounds On~which it was grant
ed cannot DO learned at present.
It is understood that King is nOw In
a fair way for his liberty, too. Mr.,
King says he is in the hands Of his
friends. His friends, it is alleged, are
making the fight at Florence for him.
Mr.. King stands confinement with
good grace, and does not appear to
dwlndls, peak, etc. He says be has
been in worse places, though he has
never been In Jail. He would like,
nevertheless, to be OUT of there.-Tuc

Don't Want John.

At meeting in Metropolitan hall, To
peka, Sunday night, presided over by Mrs.
Lease and attended by most of the populist
representatives and senator's, and party lead
ers, a committee on resolutions and address,
consisting of G. c. Clemens, Rev. w. G..
Todd and w. n. Bennington, made the fol-
lowing report, which was accepted and
signed by almost all of the populists present.
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas, The moral movement for the
improvement of the material conditions of
the masses of the people in our country,
which has chrystalized into the peoples
party Of the United States, has won a con-
spicuous victory in the state of Kansas, and
has now given US the power to produce ben
eficial results in legislation. therefore
Resolved, that the social principles which
have thus far led u.s. and the political VIC
tory we have thereby gained, both forbid
our throwing away our advantages and our
loyalty to truth; and
Resolved. That we therefore express to the
people of Kansas our views in the following
address:
The address is of the nonpareil variety and
too long to reproduce here. 1t is, in strong
language, a middle of the road document,
especially aimed at ohm Martin; but strikes
at compromise democrats from all sides.

Me More Scores Made.

Instead of casting another vote for senator
in joint session the republicans of the Kan
sas legislature met in joint session as per adj
iournment and adopted the following:
Whereas, One hundred and sixty members
of this joint assembly holding legal certifi-
Gates were present and either voting or de-
handing to vote at the Joint assembly for
the election of a United States senator,
Wednesday, January %, 1898, and
Whereas, Seventy-eeven of these legally
elected members were denied the right to
vote in said joint assembly. and
Whereas, If these seyeuty-seven members
of the joint assembly had been permitted to
vote no one would have had a majority of
all the votes cast in said joint assembly, and
that there would have, therefore, been no
election of United States senator; be it
Resolved, By the JOINT assembly of the two
houses, here and now legally assembled, that
there has been no election of a United States
senator by the Kansas legislature this ses-
sion.
Resolved, That we enter our solemn pro-
test against this revolutionary and illegal
transaction, and instruct the president of
to consist of three members of the house
and two members of the senate to prepare
formal statement and emphatic protest to
the senate of the United States, to be signed
by the members of this assembly, protest
ing against the seating of John Martin as
senator from this state.
Speaker Douglass appointed as the COM
mlttee: Messrs. Hoch, Baker, Cubbison,
Wllcoxson AID Hopkins.
The session then ad journed without day."

Judge Martins Sentiments.

Judge John Martin was called before the
legislative populist caucus at 1 80 in the
morning, after the fourteenth ballot, which
stood: Martin A, Doster A.
In his talk to the caucus he said every rail-
road corporation and capitalized interest in
the state was working to prevent his nomi-
nation. 81 am a democrat" he said, shut
believe in your platform, and, if sent to the
senate. will do my best to secure the reforms
you demand. will go into the democratic
caucus, but will not be bound by caucuses.
I am in favor of wipIng out all national
bank charters. l am in favor of that part
of your platform which declares for the
sub-treaSury system or something better
that is, I want something better. I don't
favor the sub-treasury system itself. helped
to fight your battles last fall. I was with
you in the hour of need, and now every DEM

in two years is here fighting me for senator"

Divided about Precedents.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. January 2S.-There
is diversity of opinion among senators as
to the exact standing of Senator-elect Mar
tin. of Kansas. The fact that every vote in
the senate will be contested by democrats
in furtherance of their determination, if pos
sible, to organize the next senate, gives the
case of Judge Martin immediate import
ance. The question is now being asked,
will the senate recognize the certificate is
sued by the governor of the state IN which
two legislatures are contesting for recogni-
ton and both claiming to have been legally
organized and on this point even members
of the elections committee fail to interpret
precedents alike. One prominent member
of the committee says the presentation of the
certificate will be taken as prima fscie evil
dence of the legality of the election, while
another says the senate must take cogni-
zance of the dual legislature, which is sufi-
Gent to put the title of man holding a certifi-
cate under a cloud, aud will cause the SEN
ate to refrain from swearing him in until the
cloud is lifted. Under this view of the case,
which it is believed is held by the majority
of the committee, the credentials of Mr..
Martin will be SEM to the committee on cleo
tions. and will remain there until the mooted
question is disposed of.
Meantime Mr.. Perkins will hold his seat.
From all accounts Mr.. Perkins is not dis
posed to forego his seat without struggle.

PENSION LAWS.
What Legislation May be Ex-
peCted.
A Close CullinR OF Invalid Pension
ers-A Commission to Find Fur
Their Gaps to be Stopped-Ir Is a
Party Fight.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January N.-The
mittee on appropriations have adopted
amendments changing the law of $780, The
following are the principal changes made
That no widow shall receive pension under
the act of 1890, unless married to soldier
prior to 1870; that no person shall receive a
pension under the act of 1890 unless disabled
in the service from manual labor, and in To-
ceipt of an income of less than 5000 year,
and that no nonresident shall receive PEN
sion unless he was actully disabled in the
service. Another amendment proposes for
the appointment of commission to recon-
slider the necessary notifications in the
pension laws and to report at the next con-
gress. Most of the amendments were Of
fered by Mr.. O'Neill, of Massachusetts, who
stated they were framed so as not to exclude
persons actually dependent, but would re-
qulre all persons to prove they were in fact
disabled and dependent. The vote was q
party one, the democrats voting yea and the
republicans nay. The fight against the
amendments will be carried by the republi-
can members into full committee on appro-
prlations, which has yet to act upon the bill.
1t is said to be likely that some democratic
Of the full committee will vote
against their associates on the sub-commit-
tee. If the amendments get out of COM
mittee lively fight in the house is certain.
The bill, as framed by majority of the sub
committee, also does away with pension
agencies throughout the country, and pro-
vides for the payment of pensions by checks
directly from khe treasury department; aPol-
ishes the examinations of applicants by sur
geons and provides for the appointment of
$50 examiners to hereafter make examina-
tons.

A Combine Indicted

ROCHESTER, n. T., January 28.-The grand
jury has indicted the leading coal dealers of
this city for conspiracy on two counts. The
indicted men are charged with conspiracy,
in illegally combining to advance the price of
coal. The second count charged them with
preventing other ccal dealers, not members
of the exchange, from securing a supply of
coal and preventing the others from joining
the exchange. The grand jury also returned
a presentment against the members of the
western anthracite coal COLE mittee, reciting
the fact that its members are representatives
of the coal and railroad organizations con-
trolling the anthracite mines of PennsyL
vania, and that said companies and their
representatives have conspired to control
the shipment of coal to prevent the free COM
petition for the purpose of controlling prices
and injuring the trade and commerce.

The Seven Cast Outs.

TOPEKA, January 26.-The elections cota-
mittee of the republican house made a re-
port on seven contests brought by the popu-
lists, finding in each one that there acre
no grounds for the contest and that the re-
publican was entitled to his seat.
In the postmaster cases the report quo. es
the supreme court which said in 1881:
1.-THE question is presented whether per-
son, ineligible under the provisions of our
constitution at the time of his election for
the Office of sheriff, IS ineligible to hold the
Office provided the disability be removed prior
to his assuming the duties of said office.
Upon this question the weight of authority
seems to be, and in our opinion is the better
doctrine, that where the disability concerns
the holding of the Office and is not merely a
disqualification to be elected to an office, a
person who is ineligible at the time of the
election will be entitled to enter upon and
hold the Office, if his disability be removed
or cured before entering upon the discharge
of the duties of the Office for which he Is
elected"
In the other cases the report says the COM
mittee can find no ground for contes s :;
and, besides, no contests have been legally
brought,

Winter Wheat Prospects.

CHICAGO. January 28.-The Farmers Re.
view reports winter wheat IN good condition
generally in the states of Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan. Iowa and Wisconsin. The best
reports come from Kansas. The whole state
has been under a good blanket of snow
nearly all winter and this presages a good
crop, even in those localities where it ap-
pears uncertain. Cattle are in good cond-
ton with little or no movement In Ne
braska half of the counties report condition
good, nearly half fair and two report poor
The fields were generally covered with snow
during the cold weather.
In Kentucky the wheat crop is not up to
the condition reported in the other states.
The correspondents do not generally report
1t much above rs per cent. of the average.
In Missouri also wheat is not in desirable
condition. In some portions wheat is re-
ported injured by the hard freezing and the
lack of snow. In other counties the snow
came after the ground was frozen, but did
not cover it to a sufficient depth to prevent
further injury. In other sections the drouth
last fall did damage from which it has not
recovered.
Cattle in all the states are reported to be
in good condition, and few are being mar
keted.

is intended to reach such cases as that of the
late Sam Wood.
A bill introduced by Senator McTaggart
requires that all railroads and land owners

Hawaiian government has been overthrown
and that the United States troops have been

Where Republicans Stand.

TOPEKA, January 27.-The republicans held
caucus and discussed the situation. They
were all of one opinion-that there had been
no election of senator, and they will 60
ahead with the senatorial balloting until a
senator is elected. Senator Lucien Baker
sand: ''Thcre can be little doubt that the
popullst joint assembly failed to legally elect
senator. The lieutenant governor 1ecog-
nized Rosenthal and Wilson after the roll
call had been finished and accepted their
votes, but when I demanded on behalf of
the republican senators and sixty-four re-
publican members an opportunity to vote
for senator, he refused to recognize me. If
we had been allowed to cast our seventy
seven votes for Ady, Martin and Ady would
have had an equal number of votes, and
there could possibly have been no election,
We claim, therefore, that the election was
aot legal"
The republicans have already put the cleo
Eons committee of the United States senate
IN possession of the facts, and have protested
by telegraph against any recognition of
Judge Martin as senator.
