the species called at his shop early one of the cold mornings of last week as he WAS opening up. They were father and son. One had blanket and grip sack i; the other had simply blanket. They had just arrived that morning about half an hour before. The appearance of their locks and beard were encour- aging for business; but they had no time for that. It was real estate they were after. A discussion on the sub Ject was opened without delay. High mesa land was compared with the low CT land of the valley. The argument was extended to include in it's scope all the most important phases of the agra rian situation. At it's conclusion they started off, grips in hand. for the office of real estate dealer. la commenting upon the situation my friend of the razor and strap said: ''If it had been me I'd a looked for room first any how"
 This week we will have the lawyers. The supreme court will be in session tomorrow. The docket is unusually large. All the leading lawyers are in- terested. There will be an assembling in Phoenix from the north and south of such congregation of legal talent as has seldom if ever been equaled. Apart from the consideration of the various Allegations is the prospect of early if not immediate statehood.
 It goes without saying that the offices of the new state will be filled largely by lawyers. Senatorial aspirants and their adherents, gubernatorial candi- dates and their supporters will have an opportunity of sizing each other up. States will be made up and deals fixed by these disciples of Justinian which will embrace the entire gar both t Washington and at home.
 What world of misery, unfairness and depravity all these lawyers stand for anyhow. When the millennium, the Utopia of Sir Thomas Moore, or the realization of Edward Bellamy's dream shall arrive we will have no further use for them. They are but swarm of harpies who live by all that is base in humanity. There should be no such thing as lawyer. When the world grows good there will be none.

idea occurred to him that the suns rays, shining through the water in the bottle, might have set fire to the mack intosh, causing the latter in turn to ignite the bedding. Accordingly, at about noon on Friday. when the sun was again shining brightly, though not so powerfully as on the previous day, he proceeded to the house and expert mented with a water-bottle and a macintosh. The result clearly dem onstrated that the fire had been caused by the suns rays being concentrated by the water upon the mackintosh, the burning liquid substance from which had fallen on the bed and set it on fire. The removal of the idea of incendiar- ism was great consolation to the off, cers of the institution.

WEDDING TOUR IN A BALLOON,
A Wild and Fatal Adventure in the
 Italian Alps in October.

Italian Alps in October.
 Mme. Charbonnet, who went in a balloon on her wedding tour and was thrown out, with her husband and his friend, in the Italian Alps on October Il, last, arrived in Turin a few days later. Mme. Charbonnet says that the balloon struck the glacier at three o'clock in the afternoon. The ca. went to pieces and the three occupants were thrown out, but were not badly hurt. They passed the night in the snow and ice among the Cairamella peaks, their only shelter being a tent which they made from what remained of the balloon.
 When the next day broke they began the descent of the mountain. They had gone hardly a mile when Char bonnet disappeared in a crevasse. Ponta and Mime. Charbonnet wandered over the glacier during the rest of the day. In the evening Ponta fell and broke his leg. The couple passed a second night in the snow and ice, and then Mime. Charbonnet went alone down the mountain to a hut, where she induced two guides to go back after her husband and Ponta Char bonnet's dead body, with skull and limbs crushed, was found at the bot tom of the crevasse. Ponta was un- conscious, but revived after he was taken to the hut.

THE WOES OF ICELAND.
Things Seem to Be Going from Bad tt
 Worse There,

Worse There.
 The accounts which have just reached Europe from that most dis tressful island in the Arctic seas give us little reason to hope that anything can be done to remedy the woes of Ice land essentially. Like most of the re- mainder of the world, that remote lit tie country has enjoyed this year an almost unprecedented wealth of sun light and heat, says the London Satur- day Review. The brief Icelandic sum- mer can have rare beauty of it's own and that of 1893 has been enchanting. Steady drought in June, rains in July and warm, dry weather again in August, brought on the hay to great advantage, and the latest batch of let ters speak of the harvest as unusually promising. Almost everywhere along the coast the fisheries have been ex- cellently successful. It is plain, there fore, that for once Iceland has had a chance from the weather, which has of late years been it's most cruel enemy.
 If succession of good seasons like the present had occurred dozen years ago Iceland might have been saved But especially since the political agita- tions of 1885, which disturbed and dis couraged the population, things have been going materially from bad to worse. We are occasionally called upon to listen to jeremiads about Ice landic starvation from those whose sentiment for the Icelanders is more active than their information is exact, and the English public has become suspicious of cries of Wolf" But the present season, with it's excellent weather and good supplies of food, has not shown any reaction against the draining away of the people. This summer no fewer than six hundred persons emigrated to America, bring ing the population below that limit of seventy thousand to which it had al ready dwindled. The island now con- tains, it is believed, fewer inha bitants than it did in 1870, before the tenn porary rise in Icelandic prosperity. The emigrants are largely of the farm laborer class, and there is a growing complaint that portions of the country are going out of cultivation because there is no one to work on the land.
 The great geyser has been very, sluggish this year, and it is believed that weather which is excellent for crops acts in deplorable way upon this class of phenomena. It is by her extraordinary sights and by the visit must hope to live.

ODD CAUSE OF A FIRE.
Suns Rays, Shining Through Water
 Bottle, Ignites a Macintosh.

Suns Rays, shining Through Water
 Bottle, Ignites Mackintosh.
 Proof of the unusual heat of the suns rays in the month of October, says the London Telegraph, is given by a discovery made by Inspector Moran, of the S division of the Metropolitan police, which satisfactorily discloses the cause of a mysterious fire in the Tre-wint industrial home for girls at Hampstead. Two or three days ago a bed in one of the rooms on the second floor was discovered alight, and extin- guished with some difficulty. The or igin of the fire was a mystery, and in the evening the police and the fire brigade officials were consulted, the former because it was feared to be the work of an incendiary.
 No satisfactory result was obtained at the time as the outcome of the in- vestigations, but Inspector Moran, one of the officers engaged in the inquiry, was seized with ''happy thought while afterward pondering over the occurrence. Throughout the whole of Thursday the sun had been shining very brightly at Hampstead, and he had ascertained that in the morning a full water bottle had been standing in the room between the open window and macintosh on the wall.

ITALIAN HEALTH RULES.
Precipitation Is Either Sought or Care
 full Avoided.

The health code of the average Ital- ian may be summed up in two maXims: "Seek perspiration when ill.," and "Avoid precipitation when we'll" No matter whether the ailment be grave or slight, prompt measures are taken to induce profuse perspiration, the usual recourse being to hot teas made from0various healing he1hs In o"di- nary health an Italian takes every pre- caution against getting into perspira tion. Perhaps this feeling. more than the lethargy resulting from a warm climate, may be held responsible fol the lack of active outdoor sports in Italy. Roller-skating and bicycling are growing in favor, shooting galler- ies and quiet boating have always been popular, but cricket, baseball, tennis and similar games are hardly known, even in their mildest form.
 Although resisting their long, hot summers without detriment to health, Italians prespire freely when taking most moderate exercise. In recogni- tion of this treacherous fact, both gentleman and laborer move through life very quietly, never hurrying ex cept in case of dire necessity. As il illustrative of their horror of perspiring, a writer in Kate Fields Washington gives an incident that occurred a few weeks ago in Florence. An English lady was walking down the Lung 'Arno, when she missed her purse. The suspicious movements of a man in front made her hasten her footsteps and boldly demand the stolen property. Too amazed to refuse, the thief actually handed over the purse, before starting off at a good, round pace. Indignant at such broad-day robbery, the lady stopped an elegantly dressed gentleman and, in excited tones, began to pour out her grievance. Merely waiting to hear "that man stole my purse," the gallant Italian rushed afte4 the thief, who promptly took to his heels. As cross streets are scarce on the Lung 'Arno, they had a good run ere the thief could dodge his pursuer. The afternoon sun of late spring day did not help the polite Florentine to keep cool, so, red-faced and out of breath, he slowly turned back to meet the English lady with profuse apologies:
 Madam, l am very, very sorry. I did my best, but your purse is gone"
 "Oh, no!'' she replied sweetly, q have my purse. got it back from the man."
 "Got your purse back! Per Bacco! What did you want, then?"
 "Wantl Why, I want justice"
 1twas too much, even for proverbial Italian urbanity, and, almost choking with sudden wrath, he gasped out: Justice! To think I should have run myself into precipitation fol justice!'

STATEHOOD NOTICE.

Owing to the fact that the act admitting Arizona passed the house of representatives by @ very large majority, and the further fact that the senate is undoubtedly in favor of our early admission, we concluded that it was unneces- sary to re-convene the statehood convention, This conclusion has been submitted to various of the committees of the convention and they have all concurred therein.
 We therefore announce that the meeting of the statehood convent )n that was to have been held on January Il, 1894, is indefinitely post poned.

BETWEEN OURSELVES.

It is estimated that there are 2,400 residents of this valley who rejoice in the name Missourian. It is fact that these people actually rejoice in the title. None are prouder of their state or have more fellow feeling and loyalty toward each other than these same Missourians. Many good stories are related at the expense of the natives of the back counties. There IS distinct iveness about your average Missourian which is unmistakeable. He may be somewhat uncouth, but his heart IS all right. There are no more frank or hospitable people in the Union.

The Election,

The town election on Monday was an
extremely duh and prosy affair, being
exceptional, free from sensational or
exciting features. As usual in cases of
this character where little ifany interest
is felt in the result of a supposedly un-
important contest, very light vote was
polled, being only l59 in the aggregate,
which is 81 votes short of the number
cast at the late judicial election. The
republicans came ont victorious, electing
every man OH their ticket with the ex
ception of marsha! and one member rof
the DO; rd of education. Following is Il

The question of cheap rate around
the Hills by rail, which was first agitat-
ed, if we remember rightly, by Fred r..
Evans, Of Hot Springs, some time ago, is
now being revived. The plan, as pro-
posed, is to have cheap rate establish
ed from all railroad points in the Hills
for the entire circuit with stop-over
privileges. The plan is very desirable
and would have a tendency to largely
increase the local travel over both roads,
and afford an available opportunity for
the people of the Hills to visit the
different towns and become acquainted
with their citizens. Ifthe railroad com
panies would grant the reduction it
would greatly accommodate the people,
and no doubt be beneficial TO them in
the matter of increasing their receipts
in this direction. A committee com
prising the representative men of the
various towns should he delegated to
wait upon the railroad officials with this
desirable end in view.
