DEATH OF AN ARGONAUT.
The Corpse of ThoS. Cochran
 Found in Bed.
Incidents of the Life of a Man Who Became a 4o'er at the Age
 of Thirteen.

An argonaut is dead. The body of Thomas Cochran was found in his bed yesterday morning at j the resi- idence of c. A. Luke on Mon- roe street. Death occurred probably about 8 o'clock in the morning. At any rate at that time young woman sleeping in an adjoining room was awakened by groaning and strangling sound proceeding from the room occu- pied by the deceased. She called MT. Luke, who hurried to the room, bat when he reached it the grooming and strangling had ceased and Cochran was dead. A physician was summoned, but he could only confirm the fact of death.
 The case was reported to Justice Kin csid as early as possible, and he sum- moned coroner's jury consisting of Frank Byler, Harvey E. Wilson, A. McAlpin, s. J. Tribolet, Jas. F. John son, J E. Dufton and Wm. Scott. It was shown to the jury that the deceased had been ill nearly week; that few days ago he was attacked by 8 numb ness in his left arm and was suffering from stomach trouble. At that time he said that he believed his ailment was an irregular action of the heart.
 The jury returned formal verdict of death from natural causes. The per sonai effects of the deceased consisted of $42 90. silver watch, valise filled with letters and papers and trunk with wearing apparel, 8 quantity of bed clothing and camping outfit.
 nv,f and watch was put into the custody of one of the jurors.
 Cochran was ffty-eight years of age and q native of Canada. He was '49 Ter at the age of thirteen years and ali hrs life since those golden days have been spent on the coast. He had re- sided in Arizona nearly twenty years and was the greater part of that time engaged in mining. He was alternately rich and poor but death found him poor. Whether rich or poor he vas always generous and bighearted. At one time he was interested in the Bonanza and it is said that if his advice had been followed in the management of that property all the owners would have been millionaires.
 Illustrative of the high estimation in which he was held, Capt. Calderwood began taking collection to defray the expenses of decent funeral. Within 8 few minutes he had collected $50 and could easily of gotten $500. Two per sons gave, each $10 and every man approached gave whatever the cap tain suggested. To the sum thus raised will be added the amount found in his possession.
 The funeral will take place at 8 o'clock this afternoon from the under taking rooms of Randall & Davis.
 The only relative of the deceased is a sister who lives at Jacksonville, Ills. Among his papers were found several letters from her, none later than two years ago.

SHE WOULD 60.
How a Determined Indian
 Maiden Went to School.
The Opposition of Parents Unappre- ciative of the Advantages of
 an Education.

Katie Armstrong is dusky Indian lass of sixteen who attends the Indian school out North Center street. She is stoutly built and serious faced, as are most of her companions, but when her broad countenance breaks into smile, her eyes shine pleasantly, great white shining rows of upper and lower incis- ors glisten happily and every wrinkle speaks good naturedly.
 She had quite time getting back to school thIs fail. and only reached there by the exertion of an unconquer- able determination. Katie's brothers are in favor of her continuing her stud ies at the Indian school, but her parents, who reside in 8 dismal look ing wickiup on the Maricopa reserva- tlon, while not exactly opposed to edu- cation, are by no means unappreciative of Katie's services as valuable assist ant in the water hauling and wood hewing line and, therefore, sought to retain her at the paternal kennel.
 When school opened couple of weeks ago, her brothers had gone off in q northeasterly direction to sell some hOio0c bO CiiO ApdCuOS, sO sut WAS D6- reft of her champions. One day when what seemed to be a favorable oppor- tunity presented itself, with the assist ance of 8 friendly old squaw, she hitched up the ancestral team of sorry looking eayuses and after throwing her grip into the bottom of the wagon, seized the lines and set out for school. She had compassed about mile in the direction of Phoenix when looking back ward she deserted a great hubbub. Two or three familiar figures struck out at rapid gait in her direction. Then began race in which the ancient ana unsaUeG bronchos were no match for the irate parents. Katie was re- turned to the reservation subdued for the time, but still resolved.
 A week later her opportunity came. With nearly all the avail able members of the tribe her parents had found temporary occu- patton in grape picking near Mesa. Again was the team pressed into ser- vice, this time with success, and today

AN EGYPTIAN CUSTOM.
It Mystified Herodotus, But Modern Inves-
 tigation Fully Explains 1t.

tigation Fully Explains 1t.
 More than one thousand years ago Herodotus observed a remarkable GUS tom in Egypt, says Prof. Drummond. At certain season of the year, says the Washington Post, the Egyptians went into the desert, cut off branches from the wild palm, and, bringing them back to their gardens, waved them over the flowers of the date palm. Why they performed this ceremony they did not know, but they knew that if they neglected it the date crop would be poor or wholly lost.
 Herodotus offers the quaint explana- nation that along with these branches there came from the desert certain flies possessed of a ''vivific virtue,' which somehow lent an exuberant fertility to the dates. But the true rationale to the incantatlon is now explained. Palm trees, like human beings, are male and female. The garden plants, the date bearers, were females, the desert plants were males, and the way ing of the branches over the females meant the transference of the fertiliz- ing pollen from one to the other.

most all of their anniversary rites are attended by holocaust of human be- ings. They believe that when king or noble dies he must have wives and slaves in the next world, just as he had in this, and in order that these may not be wanting, the simple expedient is resorted to of killing his wives and slaves and sending them after him. Rude and bloody ceremonies mark the practice of this custom, which are COZ tinued for about a week. Strange to say, numerous volunteers are always found who are not only ready, but anxious, to be offered up in honor of a dead king"

GEO. BUCK KILLED.

Meets Death In a Railway Accident
 Near Kansas City.
 W. H. Buck yesterday received tel gram from Kansas City announcing the death of his brother, George. in rail- road accident near there. The identity of the deceased was disclosed by letters from his relatives in Phoenix found on him. The telegram contained no par ticulars concerning the manner of the killing.
 The deceased was a son of Judge Buck. He came to Phoenix nearly 8 year ago from Chicago, where he had been compositor on the Herald. He left here little more than month ago to return to Chicago.

Proof of Merit.

The proof of the merits of plaster is the cures it effects, and the voluntary testimonials of those who have used Allcock's Porous Plasters during the past thirty years are unimpeachable evidence of it's superiority and should convince the most skeptical. Self praise is no recommendation, but cer- tifcates from those who have used them are.

Thomas ii. Carter, Chairman OF
the Republican National Committee,
discusses this subject in the current
number of the North american Re
vte,o. OF course he arrives at the
conclusion that "the Republican par
ty can and will succeed in 1896"
The fact that it is the business of
the Hon. Tom to predict and to fig
ure out success for his party, and
that he did it to the Presidents
taste in 1890 and again in 1892,
renders the alleged reasons for his
conclusions of small moment. With
out any great effort we can com
press into three lines more truth
and better prophecy than Chairman
Carter hasspread over his ten broad

SHERMAN ON Silver.
He Wants Something Done For the whit

ne wants something Done EOf the Wnlte
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Wolcott Rep., Colo.)
last Monday, requesting the president to
negotiate with Mexico concerning the
coinage at United States mints of stand
ard Mexican dollars, was advocated
Monday by Mr.. Wolcott, who, in his
speech said that with the present execu-
tive there was no hope whatever for the
cause of silver, and the self-respect of
those who believe that the. day of pros
perity would never come to this country
again until silver was rehabilitated and
restored to its place as money metal,
required that they should not advocate
or vote for any lnake-shitt or temporary
expedient.
AFR. Sherman Rep., o. said that he
was inclined to favor the resolution. He
thought that it would lie wise to have
the president negotiate some measure of
relief for silver. He would certainly fa-
vor any proposition that would tend to
give to silver a larger use for CONNER
cial or financial purposes. 1t would be
great benefit to the human race if, in
some way or other, silver and gold were
put in relation to each other, and to
stand at par at given ratio. There
could be no opposition among any por-
ton of the people to the use of silver. only
where it would demonetize the gold.
Even those who were popularity classed
as goldites would be glad to sea silver
and gold placed on fixed parity. No
action was taken on the amendment and
the resolution went over.
