The facts are that the Arizona state hood bill passed the house three months ago and Joseph has been un- able to get his bill even iavorably re
 ported on in that branch of congress The Arizona bill is in the senate com-- mittee three months ahead of New Mexico, and when the proper time comes it will be reported and passed.

The PhilOs.

The Philomathian society had its meeting last evening at the residence of Mrs. Gus. Barron.
 The house was beautifully decorated and presented an elegant appearance. Each member of the society repre- sented certain character and was dressed and recitel piece appropriate to that character.
 To say that each one sustained the character represented would be tame way of expressing it.
 After the exercises came refresh- rnents, which always add pleasure to the entertainment. The occasion was an enjoyable one.
 At the business meeting which was held last evening new officers were chosen, resulting in the selection ol Mrs. Gus. Fisher as president and Mrs. Nellie McNeil as secretary.
 Two new members were voted into the society.

ON HIS TRAIL.
Line Riders Finley and King Have a Fight with a Smuggler and Capture
 His Outfit.

On Tuesday night in the Huachuca mountains Line Riders King and Fin ley had an experience that was not a pleasant one.
 The approach of pay day at the post is generally the signal for band of Mexican smugglers to turn a few dollars to their own account by sell ing mescal to the soldiers on the sly from a recess in convenient can yon.
 Finley and King were detailed to watch the trail leading from Sonora over the mountain to the fort. On Tuesday they received word that an old offender who had eluded capture time and time again, would be on the trail that night. They wentt, point about ten miles from the post and waited for the object of their search.
 About midnight just as the moon was setting they heard rustic on the dead leaves near them, and out from turn in the trail came the Mexican apparently unaware of any danger. He was riding burro to which was lashed five gallons of mescal.
 When he reached point within ten feet of Finley, the latter jumped up and leveled his Colts pistol at him with a command to throw up his hands.
 The fellow, quick as flash, dropped from his animal and. levelling his Winchester at Finley, said: "Throw up your hands, you Gringo - The two men were not over eight feet apart when Finley fired, and the Mex ican dropped to hIs knees. After shooting. Finley dropped to enc side and the Mexican made dash for the adjacent brush.
 The burro was secured, and the fol- lowing morning a search Twas made for the Mexican, but he could not be found. l. is believed that he was fatally wounded ani that he has crawled to some sheltered spet near by. Another search will be made for him today.
 The burro and mescal were brought in ard are at the custom house in charge of Deputy Collector Frank Hare.

Messrs. Reilly, Wentworth and Bryan requested District Attorney Staehle's presence today at the record CTS office. He was asked by MT. Reilly to pass on a claim of his against the county for S275 for legal services.
 The district attorney asked for the records, in order to pass intelligently upon the bill, but was informed that they were not there. He declined to commit himself in any way whatever as to the legality of the board or to take upon himself judicial functions.
 Probate Judge Monmonier was called upon to approve the same claim, but took the matter under ad- visement.
 The district attorney was also urged to begin an injunction suit to restrain the treasurer from paying any war rants signed by w. K. Perkins and Ma, Hawke. He politely fell back upon his right to place his own construc ton upon his duty, and retired.
 Another meeting will be held to morrow morning at 10 o'clock.

THE custom in vogue in the coun- ties of the territory of having meet ings of the boards oi supervisors but four times a year is bad one and public opinion should abolish it. There is no reason why public cor poration should not have monthly pay day as well as private one, or a- individuals. It is a maxim in business that cash will go further than credit in purchasing the necesssries of life, and any business maa can testify to the truth of the axiom, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. !" County governments should be run on business principles, and it surely is not business 50 have but four pay days per year. The amount of money tied up in the treasury would fl put in circulation monthly instead of quarterly add considerably to lift the load Of hard times from the back of our merchants, who in the end receive the bulk of the quarterly allowances. In the years 1889 and 1890 monthly meetings were held in Cochise county and the result was more than satis- factory, both from an economical point oi view and public policy stand point.
