Col. MCCooK said iu an interview regarding Atchisou reorganization: No one has, as yet, any plans formu- lated so far as 1 am aware, and doubt if one will be prepared ready for sub- mission to the security holders under six weeks or two months. AS to the property, it is in first-class condition, in fact it never before was in any such shape as it is today; we have had it in- spected time and again and always with the same good report; the road bed, rolling stock and motive power are all that could be desired. The prospects are extra bright. Of course I say that, taking into consideration the general conditition of all kinds of business, and the fact thatthe carrying companies of this arc all reporting gross losses ranging anywhere from 23 to 35 per cent. as compared with last year. In Texas our outlook for traffic is ex- cellent. the road is now doing splen- did business in that state; especially in hauling stone for government works at Galveston and for the jetties. The general business outlook in the south west is, if anything, better than year ago. have no recent reports as to the crops in Kansas.

Under the Cloak of Religion.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., May 9, 1S9

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., May 9, 1894. MR. EDlToR-
 It has come to my knowledge that a few weeks ago two persons calling themselves Sisters of St. Francis, aud pretending to be related with the Cath ollie diocese of Denver, Col, were soliciting donations in several places along the A. 6 P. lines in Ari- zona. I consider it my duty to make known for tho protection of the public rule of our church in regard to this matter. According the laws of the church all sisters or nuns are strictly forbidden to request charities for any purpose and under any circumstances in a place without the written author ization of the pastor of the parish, he having means to ascertain whether they really are what they pretend to be and need the assistance they request,
 The sisters who lately travelled through this country were without said authorization, and am we'll aware that on several occasions the public has been imposed upon in the name of charity and under the garb of religion. To prevent any further i'm position of the kind and considering that the people here arc already heav- lily taxed for home charitable and relig- ious works, I wish to state tbal I here by refuse the authorization to bog within tho limits of my jurisdiction, viz: Coconino and Apache counties, to all sisters or nuns related in any manner with the Catholic church. All such persons soliciting charities may hence- forth be looked upon as trying to obtain money under false pretcnses.
 Very truly yours,
 REV. J. FRERI,
 Pastor of the Catholic Church.

HE lowest price on record in the prlce of wheat was reached on the 2ith ultimO, when It reached the low price of 57 1-2 cents. If cheapness were the blessing that we were assured during the last campaign that it was, how the country ought to hug and congratulate itself on it's present felicitous condition. But to the poor devil, who hasn't even Inc 50 cents to pay for bushcl of wheat, and the farmer who conse- queutly cannot sell, this felicity is not sufficiently apparent to enable them to do much bowling for joy.

SEVERAL democratic congressman have positively declined renominations when rendered by their constituents. It is said that Mark Smith will at the proper time decline the renomination of delegate to congress which will be offered him by the territorial democ- racy. Mark does not want to be showed under, and probably will laugh at the aspiring politician his party nominates for accepting a nomination which means sure defeat.

Means impure blood, aud overwork or too much strain on brain and body. The only way to cure it is to feed the nerves on pure blood. Thousands of people certify that the best blood puri. fer, the best nerve touic and strength builder is Hoods sarsaparilla. What it has done for others it will also do for you-Hood's cures. Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss of appetite and general debility ali disappear when Hoods sar- saparilla is consistently taken, and strong nerves, sweet sleep, strong body, sharp appetite, and in word, health and happiness follow the use of Hoods sarsapatilla. The strong point about Hoods sarsaparilla is that they are permanent, because they start from the solid foundation of purified, vital- ized and enriched blood.

LOWELL OBSERVATORY.
The First to Observe and Note the
 Appearance of Gales Comet.

Tho value of the cloarness of the at- mosphere for astronomical obsel vations has been demonstrated recently. The Astronomical Journal of April 14th made the announcement of the discov- cry of new comet by Prof. Gale at the now English observatory, located at Sydney, New South Wales. The comet is very large, round and bright with condensation, moving through reglons of space in which cosmical mat. ter is widely diffused. Since the an- nouncement astronomers have been looking for the appearance of this comet in the northern hemisphere.
 On the night of April s6th Mir. A. E. Douglass, the observer of Lowell ob- servatory at this place discovered the stranger and reported the fact to the world.
 On May 5th the naval observatory at Washington sighted the comet, or uino days later than reported by Mir. Douglass. The comet has not yet been reported by Lick observatory, although plainly visible through the six-inch telescope used by MT. Douglass, the difference being wholly due to the diff ference in the atmosphere.

WIFE FOR A QUARTER.
A Remarkable Matrimonial Transaction
Made in Wayne County.


Made in Wayne County.
The transfer of his wife by like"
Culliford to Ambrose Draft at Butler
Center, few days ago fer the princely
sum of twenty-five cents turns OFT to
be one of the most noteworthy com
mercial transactions that the township
has ever witnessed, says the Rochester
On. W Democrat and Chronicle. The
fact that the wife was an interested
observer Of the transaction and by no
means the least willing party thereto,
adds interest if not moral flavor to
the affair. The Cullifords are young
people, aged respectively twenty-five
and twenty-three. Mrs. Culliford, as
it turns out, had been married once be-
fore Ter promise to love, cherish and
obey Culliford was made. The name
of the first husband was David Lobel,
from whom she considered herself legal
ly separated, when year ago she was
married to Culliford. Lobel was i'm
.prisoned for petit larceny, and his con-
viction, she thought, was sufficient
separation. Early in the spring they
moved to Butler and Culliford worked
by the day among the farmers to sup
port his young wife.
Early in August Culliford came home
unexpectedly and found Draft and his
wife under circumstances which made
him suspicious.
lis that what you have peen coming
to my house for every night for
week, bringing your old fddle?" he
demanded of Draft. Then followed a
war of words and Draft left the house,
to be followed by Mrs. Culliford a lit
tie later. The separation lasted sew
eral weeks and then friends succeeded
in getting the couple together again.
Then came the season for drying ap-
pies and Mrs. Culliford expressed de-
sire to earn some money. She went to
work in the evaporators at Loren
Gould's. Culliford heard rumors that
caused him to make trip to the evap-
orators. His wife was not in the fac
tory. Inquiry revealed the fact that
she was in the house with Army
Draft. To the house he went. There
he found Draft and his wife Had Gull
liford been made of different stuff
there might have been a bloody time.
But Culliford had his own way OF
dealing with the situation. Motioning
Draft into an adjoining room, the wife
following, he turned on his heels and
said:
do you want this woman more than
1 do?''
Yes" replied the ready Draft.
well, what will you give for HERO"
Draft paused for moment, then he
said, firmly, but slowly: twenty-five
cents"
''she's yours" said Culliford. Fork
over
The quarter changed hands. The
woman spoke for the first time well
l don't care" said she between sobs.
IF you did buy me, you have got to
support me-"
Il WILL" said Draft, and that closed
the transaction. The transfer of prop
erty took place that afternoon, Draft
calling for his purchase with his horse
and buggy.

1t is by small investments that we
place ourselves on the same footing in
investing for our customers, as the

WISHED TO GIVE A LESSON.

So the Old Gentleman Told Her Her
Chance Acquaintance Was "Step Easy
Pete"
She was by all odds the prettiest girl
on two o'clock train which drew out
from the Grand Central station one day
recently. That she was as foolish as
she was pretty was apparent fromthe
way in which she smiled at anything
in male attire which strolled up the
aisle. She was young girl, too, prob
ably not more than seventeen, and evil
IDENTIFY not in the habit of being away
from home-at least, alone.
The seat beside her was unoccupied,
and when tall, well dressed fellow,
who looked like drummer, came into
the car he took one look at the girls
sweet face then glanced at the empty
seat, and without more ado sat down
beside her.
The expression of disappointment
upon the faces of many of the men in the
the car was apparent, and they scowl-
ed at the fellow vigorously until they
saw him speak to the girl, who in no
way repealed his advances, but giggled
foolishly and seemed only too ready to
enter into conversation. Thus the two
talked confdentially till the train got
to Stamford, when the drummer got
off to stay, while the girl took train
on the branch road. took the same
train myself, and in the seat with me
in the smoking car sat an old gentle
man who had witnessed the episode of
the pretty girl and the drummer.
did you notice that fellows impu-
dence?" said the old gentleman to me,
as he took light from my cigar.
"1ndeed did," 1 replied, land
thought at the time how 1 should have
enjoyed kicking that fellow out of the
seat"
'Well, I think I'll give that child a
lesson" said my seat companion. who
more than likely had daughters of his
own at home. With that he laid down
his cigar and went into the passenger
coach where the girl was. l watched
him stop beside her seat, bow politely,
and then l observed that the two
talked together for few moments very
earnestly.
When he came back to the smoker
and sat down asked him what he had
said to the foolish one.

that fellow who spoke to her as step

sneak thieves in New York city, whose

and promised to never let it happen
again"
