that George Wood left here for

during the canvass of that year.
"Dick Milleln aud no else, will say

Ciunp Of Bushes.

-
Ciunp Of Bushes.
Almighty aud alwise Satan, thou
fullfledged and universally recog-
nized leader of onr great political
party: We do thank thee that
thou hast permitted us to pursue
our abusive and treacherOus
course this far unmolested. We
thank thee thou great King of
Demons that thou hast enstilled
within US the hatred and anarch-
ical feeling that We cherish for
the Democrats and our southern
neighb0rs. We bite the dust
before thee, @ Prince of fPerditiOn
and humbly accept all the SLAM
derous thoughts that thou canst
communicate to us. We thank
thee that thou hast completely
emptied and renovated our heads
SO that the wind has full control
which when we get into . crowd
it rushes out of our mouths max
ing great noise. We bless thy
name, thy forked tailed "beaut"
that thou hast the power to let us
partake of thy nature to the ex-
tent that we love the false and
abOminate the true. We thank
thee for the present prospect of
thy ambitious servant Weaver
becoming King of the great U. 8.
A.
O, thou power of darkness, do
please use all thy influence on
Grover Cleveland and the present
congress so that they will do
nothing for the mutual benefit of
the people in common. o, wilt
thou spread desolation, disease
and death all over this country
during the present administration
so that the children of men may
be left homeless, fatherless and
penniless. That is what we are
yearning for that is what will
make our hearts exceeding glad.
o, may hundreds and thousands
starve and die daily of destruc-
tion. And then grant that poor
weak humanity may be made to
believe that the Democrats are
wholly in fault. We pray thy
greatest curse upon the Demo
crsts-the Republicans are alright
they are our friends. o, thou
roaring lion We know that thou
art the vine aud We are the leaves,
that thou art the pot and We are
the kettles, and thou art the oven
and We sre the lickskillets, and
that our party is the spittoon and
we are the spittle. We know that
we have few good men in our
party but sgreat Hades" how
scarce they are.
o, thou Monarch of birthstone,
make our members such stupid
fools that they will believe every
thing published in our news
papers. Now blessed master thou
knOwest best what we should
have. Give unto US as thou seest
fit; take Us into thy care and keep
ing; guide and direct us in the
way that we should 60, and when
thou art done with Us in this
world take us in thy warm and
feryent embrace and we will
praise thy name forever and ever,
Amen.-Ex.

hallowed days Of the wonderful
Worlds Fair made q host of
friends for herself and great state
by the charming manner in which
she performed her duties as lady
manager of the Arkansas State

added new laurels to the fame she
won at the Worlds Fair by
expousing the cause of the
ex-Confederates residing here in
Chicago, who are engaged in a
great work of love-the raising OF
funds necessary to defray the cost
Of the grand monument they have

Miss Scott has done noble work

Railroad Notes.

Two new engines and several flat cars, for the Jerome road, have ar. rived at Clear Springs siding, on the s. F. P. & P. railroad. The bridg, contractor has a good force of men at work putting in bridges and they are only awaiting the arrival of steel to commence track laying. The road will be completed by Septem Der 15 or October 1.
 When track laying is resumed on the s. F. P. < P. railroad there will probably be but little interruption in it until the entire line is com pleted through to Phenix. The grading is far enough long now SC that the graders will reach the Con- gress mine before the tracklayers can overtake them. From the Con gress to the Hassayampa canyon the grading can be done as rapidly IS they can lay the track. There are about eight miles of work along the Hassayampa canyon which will take about two months to complete. A force of men VII be placed there in time to complete the grade before the track reaches that point. From there to a connection with the end of the seventeen miles of grade out of Phenix the work is light and can be disposed of in short order. It is expected that the road will reach Phenix February l5.

THE CIrY,s WATER SUPPLY.

Citizens of Prescott, aud particu- larly that portion of them, who have been called on to foot the bills for demonstrating, what certain individuals did not know about a water supply are getting to realize more and more. the correctness of the JouRNAL.MINEs position on the water question. The change of the location of the water works has cost the city thousands of dollars and it is now absolutely without a water supply, and each season since the removal has found it in the same condition. Never during the time that the pump was located in west Prescott and particularly during the time previous to the caving in of the wall around the water chamber, was there ss great a water famine as there hasbesn since. During the entire time that Issac Helm had charge of the pump the JOURNAL MINER was running its press with a water motor and never missed hay ing water single day. Prior to his taking charge of It, as we'll as subse- quent to il, the water supply failed regularly twice year, compelling it's being shut cG. After the col lapse of the brick filter, forming the water chamber in the dam, it was impossible to secure the water, bu this filter could have been rebuilt for several hundred dollars less than the change cost thousands. Our con. temporary, which under a former management was welded to the change and which even under its present management has maintained 8 reticent silence on the subject has the following to say this morning concerning that SlL0OO hole in Goose fiat:
 The city duck pond has again failed. This hole in the ground is rather too deep to be utilized to breed ducks. and hardly deep enough for well. This great sup ply we'll is rather small and the bottom of it is only l7 feet from the top of the ground. Just by what process of reasoning it was ever ex- pected to get we'll water supply in dry country, up dry gulch. in 8 dry mountain range, at such depth, is more than the Courier can tell. Just across the road from this inverted monument of shallow water wisdom, is a we'll on P. C. Wilder's place ? feet deep, the water filling the we'll to a depth of IA feet, where 1t stands, not being affected by the fluctuations O. the city goose supply pond few steps away. The we'll was not dug dee Der because some water brained indi- vidnals feared that if a hole was punched through the cement the water would all run through to China, cause flood in that country, raise insurance rates and interna- tIonai complications"

4 sHooT1Na AFFAIR.
Pugiiist Dan Flahsrty Used as a Target
 by He Old Rnemy.

Philip Owens, a diminutive "kid," who wIll not weigh much over IOO pounds, completed serving a ten days sentence yesterday, for at tempting to sheOt Dan Flaherty, alias Burke, an alleged prize fighter. The two had some trouble when Flaherty struck him, and Owens went after the prize fighter with gun. He was disarmed, when he got hold of a murderous looking knife with the intention of carving Flaherty. He was frustrated in this, arrested and sentenced as above.
 Last night about midnight Fla herty was standing at the bar of down town saloon when Owens came in and asked him if he was armed, at the same time reaching for his gun. Flaherty wasn't armed, and he did not propose to be harmed and he lost no time in making for rear exit from the saloon. Owens followed and as he reached the door he fired the first shot at the then rapidly fleeing form of the cham
 ion fghter-with his tongue. With every jump he yelled "murder," "stop him" etc., but kept up a gait that would make Tom Morris turn green with envy, until he reached Hotel BuIke, while Owens was in hot pursuit and getting in a shot whenever he could.
 Three or four citizens who hap pened to be on the streets at the time, had narrow escapes from being h by stray bullets, and one of the bullets grazed Flaherty on the side, causing slight abrasion of the cuticle, Five shots in all were fired, and by the time Owens had his gun emptied, Flaherty had reached Hotel Burke and darted inside of it, closely pursued by his shooting antagonist. They grappled when inside, and Owens pulled knife and attempted to use it, when outsiders interfered and thwartad him in his murderous intent. In attempting to get the knife away from Owens, Joseph Melvin, the night clerk at Hotel Burke, was quite seriously cut on the hand. Considerable indignation has been today by citizens gener- ally, that two characters such as these should not only disturb the peace and good order of the town, but that they should put the county to the expe se that they have by their quarreis.
 The preliminary examination of Owens was commenced this after noon before Justice J. NJ. W. Moore.
