Salt River Valley Oranges.

There is on exhibition at the Arizona
Improvement company's Office pro-
fusion of oranges of the sweet Navel
variety brought in yesterday from the
company's orchard. The fruit is of ex-
cellent size, flavor and color and far
superior in all of these qualifications to
the Sonora oranges, the first install
ment of which were also shipped in
yesterday. The earliest California
fruit is not due for month, from
which 1t is to be concluded that the
Salt River valley is the chief orange
growing district of the continent.

A JOB FOR THE PREACHER.
It Was to Be Either a Conversion or tn
Funeral of a Mountaineer.

IL w aS 60 be E1Uner q conversion or the
Funeral of Mountaineer.
The mountain circuit rider met me
at the foot of Hurricane gap in the Pine
mountains, says a Detroit Free Press
man, and we rode along together, and
about a mile from where the roads
forked we were stopped by noun
taineer with Winchester, whom the
preacher knew. He presented me in
due form, and when the native knew l
was an outsider he didn't hesitate to
talk.
81 just stopped yer" he said to the
preacher, ''ter ak yer to come up to the
house in the mornin'.''
"Anybody sick ?" inquired the
preacher.
NO." and the mountaineer hest
tated. "You know you have been a
talkin' ter me fer long time erbout
gitten religion, an been holdin' Off"
The preacher nodded and looked
pleased, for there was tone of peni-
tence in the natives voice.
''Well, I've erbout made up my mind
that I've got ter the pint when some
things got ter be done. Jim Gullins
come by my place this mornin' an
killed one Nv my dogs when I was
away, an you've heerd me say what
thought of Jim Gullins many time
afore this!''
The preacher nodded sorrowfully
this time.
"Well, I'm goin' down to see Jim
now," continued the mountaineer, IAN
if 1 git him I'll be ready to jine the
meetin' house when you come up in the
mornin', and if Jim gifts me you'll have
funeral to preach, SOS you won't lose
nothin' by it nohow. 1 must be gittin'
along; good-by." And, singing his
Winchester into the hollow of his arm,
he hurried away through the thicket,
leaving the circuit rider and me sitting
on our horses in the road, completely
knocked out by the suddenness of it
all and the popularity.

lowing the suggestion, l have been

me suggest the manner OF their use. l
place one over my stomach, one over

BITTER PARTISAN WAR.

Tucker Bill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL The House
Committee on Elections of President and

The bill, whi' h was drawn up by Tucker

or parts thereof, relating in any manner to
supervisors Of elections and special deputy
marshals. The majority report will deal
with theirights of Federal interference al
the polls and the question Of policy.
The question of Davenportism in New
York will not be gone into in the report,
although it will probably figure In the de-
bate, and the question of expense is dealt
with vaguely, an estimate of 81, 500, 900 be-
ing given as the quadrennial cost of the
present laws.
The debate will probably commence on
Friday or Saturday. The Democratic
leaders are determined to push it through
and the Republicans affirm their intention
Of fighting II to tee bitter end. Some of
the repeal Democrats of the House fear
that the creating of bitter partisan feeling
at this time will have disastrous effect in
the struggle for the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman law, as they depend largely
on Republican votes 10 aid them, The
Democrats in charge of the Tucker BILL
however. think it will have no effect on
the silver fight and have resolved at apy
rate to take the chances.

FEAR OF FREE TRADE.
That Is What Has Stopped the
WOOlen-MilIS.
Some Business Men Give the Ways
and Means Committee a Pretty
Plain Talk.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA large dele
CATION of wool men appeared before the
Ways and Means Committee to-day.
Charles a. Clark of Philadelphia rel re-
sentlng the Manufacturers Club said he
believed the depression affecting manu-
featuring to be due in part TO an spprehen-
sion entertained by manufacturers that
there would be fulfllment of the threat
Of radical changes in the duties on i'm
ported materials. Manufacturers were
afraid 10 operate their mills and merchants
were afraid to buy. Many mills had
ceased operations completely. a much
greater number were running upon short
time and many already had been compelled
to reduce wages. He expressed the opin-
ion that relief may be afforded instantly
by an assurance that the committee would
not assail the tariff law 10 such a manner
as 10 expose manufacturers to unequal
competition from Europeans working with
a lower wage scale.
5. n. d. North of Boston read the reso-
luti0Hs adopted by the National Wool
Manufacturers Association, which Landed
the Mckinley bill and deprecated the
passage OF any measure to reduce the
tariff schedules on wool.
ALoOQOIo OuStkC6 VI GullhQelpHla as
sumed that it was the intention Of the
committee to put wool ON the free list, aud
an nticipated that such action would destroy
the second largest agricultural industry in
the country. He declared that the cost of
the transportation of wool from one por-
tiOn OF this country to the other was IL per
cent greater than the cost of transporia-
tion from foreign countries to America,
and he said the wooden mills throughout
the country were being closed daily, aud
attributed it to the fact that President
Cleveland said that within a few months
wool would be placed on the free list.
MONTREAL, Sept. 12.-Iu a speech to-
night, Premier Sir Jonn Thompson made
an important statement as TO the policy of
the Government in the matter Of tariff re-
form. Sir John said the Government al
ready admitted the necessity of revision,
and inasnuch as il was not pr Obable any
great expenditure on public works would
be made for some time 10 come, revis on
might be conducted even to the extent of
the reduction of duties; but whether the
policy was popular or unpopular, the Gov
ernment was determined to maintain the
principle of protection.

CROWDING FOR HOMES.
There Will Be a Great Rush When
the Strip Is Opened.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kans.. Seat. 12.-When
the Cherokee Strip registering booths
were opened this morning there was ter
rible crush. Those in the rear seemed to
think that pushing from behind would ex-
pedite business at the front, while, on the
contrary, il only impeded the work. Four
more clerks were added 10 the working
force, and many more certificates were
Issued than on yesterday. The total to-
day reached $780, Many hOme-seekers,
despairing OF obtaining certificates here.
have departed for Orlando. just over the
south boundary of the strip. Yesterday
2725 certificates were issued there.
The line in front of the booths held its
place all last night. Men, women and chill
dreu, negroes and Indians were packed in
the common mass. To-day a system of
numbering persons in the line was
adopted. and those having numbers were
allowed to 60 and come at will. This
proves a great convenience.
At saltwater. twenty miles east of Or
lando, 1000 certificates were issued yester-
day and about the same number to-day.
Many more people are waiting at both
places. The scarcity of water and the in
tense heat have caused the death of several
children.
Trains OF wagons a mile in length and
in squads OF forty and fifty passed through
Guthrie to-day bound for tine strip, and
hundreds have arrived on the trains COM
ing south. The Cherokee Indians have
chosen the most desirable site for their al
lotmenf, and several of them have COM
bined to establish string Of towns along
the Santa Fe road.

a message from Saltwater late tonight
states that crowd there became un-
manageable, broke the lines and wrecked
one of the booths. Several people were
hurt in the riot that ensued, and it was
necessary to call out troops 10 dspsrse the
crowd.
CALDWELL. Kans.. Sept. 12.-Additions
were made to the clerical force In he
registration booths here to-day, and 2650
certificates were issued. The line is still
maintained bv some $500 people. but to-
dav by numbering each person as he touk
his place much inconveGience was avoided.
