ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an
era of wonderful social and industrial de-
velopment There can't be doubt about
the fact The dawn for which she has
waited so long is breaking at last There
is every promise of day of great pros
perity and permanent upbuilding just be-
fore her. The impulse of a new and ener-
giving hope is visible everywhere among
her people while the cumulative effect of
many things, which made but small i'm
preston as they transpired singly, is now
commanding for her a full share of atten-
tion and interest abroad among home
seekers and capitalists.
a lively competition has sprung up for
the possession of things which have hereto
fore gone a-begging for ownership. There
is scramble for franchises. Nothing more
surely indicates great industrial awaken
ing than this. The rates of interest are
failing to moderate figures. Nothing more
surely indicates confidence and competition
among the money lenders than this.
Arizona has reached that climacticer
period which every western state has ex-
perienced sometime in its history when,
after long and weary struggle and doubt,
with each side of the balance first up and
then down, the clouds of despondency
'tN iOA'Cu oN anu d
of energizing hope has thrilled the droop-
ing spirits of the people to greater and
drawer endeavor than before.
For the last twelve years the subsistence
of the great Tombstone boom and the CON-
pletion of two transcontinental lines of
railroad across her territor, has
rather dropped out of public attention,
but in that time she has been quietly &C
cumulating fund of substantial wealth
and force of moral character which
qualify her now to rise up and take her
destiny in her ow n hands.
The population of Arizona is Mexican.
This is mistake of great Importance from
the moral point of view. There is but one
considerable center of Mexican population
in the territory, the city of Tucson, and
even there it is not by any means at pres
ent the predOminating element 1t think
it is certain that orizona has not to-day
nearly so large a Mexican population as
Colorado and not above one tenth as much
as New Mexico. -"Fitz. Mac" in Denver

YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is
now Yuma County in l77l. 1t is the
southwest division of the Territory, and
one of the four original counties of the Ter
ritory. Many great reclamation projects are
however on foot, and in few years ex-
pect to see Yuma County rated as the
richest in the Territory.
The first glimpse the traveller from Cali
fornia catches Of Arizona Is that of the
picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly
situated in the embrace of gentle rolling
hills, upon whose crests and sides the
modern homes of our superior civilization
are crowding the adobe dwellings into
eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to
Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon
whose undeyeloped riches the eyes of the
ountry are at present turned, and as such,
she is bound to grow and prosper with
rapidity that at present can hardly be re-
allied. But coupled with her geographic
cal position we find that she is the center
of a country whose agricultural possibili
ties are practically unlimited, being sur
rounded by soil the fertility of which
exceeds that of the delta OF the Nile, and
wanting oaly water to become paradise of
bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious
fluid have annually gone to waste at
Yuma's very doors, but already reaction
is taking place and many enterprises are
on foot to supply the life-giving waters of
the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

The circumstances surrounding the
murder were most peculiar. Otto was
about sixty-dye years old and was
found dead In his bed by his wife, who
had left their home q few hours BE-
fore. Three bullet wounds were found
upon bis body, one in his head. It
and the csroner's jury was about to
decide thus, when several grains Of
stry.hnine were found in . coffee cup
In the house. A bottle found In an
clubhouse also bore evidences Of having
contained the poison. The jury took
charge Of this evidence and tried to
account for It. Otto's family was ex-
ami0ed and a. one after another
passed through the investigation the
jury became hopeless and was about
to give up the idea Of finding out how
the strychnine came there.
A rumof was sent afloat that WILL
lam Otto, the youngest son, had pur-
chased some Of the poison In Frank.
LIN Q few months ago. The coroner and
sheriff then drove to Franklin and
found on the poison register that WILL
lam Otto had purchased strychnine
there last May. The young nun when
0rst brought up with this evidence was
inclined to deny that he ever bought
the drug, but when his own signature
was shown to him he admitted that he
had bought the poison with which to

Drs. Psnhall Of Morton and Flynn Of
Redwood Falls removed the stomach
from the dead mans body and sent 1t

batting toll Dr.. Young had the undis-
putab1o evidence that the stomach had
contained ons-half grain Of strychnine.
The doctor and the sheriff returned

Jury can come to but one conclusion in
the case, and that is that EmanuN
