TREE WITH A TEMPER.

Arizona Claims II ms An Original Product.
"There are more queer things to the
acre in Arizona than in any other part
of this wide land, said Col. Brace Dion,
of Houck's Tank Apache county, to the
New York Sun, "and according to my
idea, and | know pretty near what queer
things are, the uueerest thing in all Ari.
iona is the tree that has temper worse
than blonde comic opera prima douna's,
and gets its dander up with just as small
provocation. They tell me out there
that this tree belongs to the coniferous
species. 1t grows to hc somethind like
twenty-five feet high and then stops. It's
leaves are long, slender and pointed, like
porcupine quilts
When this tree is in a good humor
these leaves lie close to the branches, and
it spreads a pleasant aromatic odor all
around. But when it is angry every leaf
on the tree rises up on end, and the aspect
of that particular piece of timber is about
rs fierce and threatening as anything you
would care to look at. The pleasant
resinous odor the tree sent forth in its
peaceful mood gives way to an odor that
will put wings on your feet to place as
much distance as you can between the
offensive tree and yourself.
This tree is especially touchy on the
subject of dogs, and the coming of a ca.
nine anywhere near it will instantly make
it furious. Yet Il wolf, grizzly bear, or
a mountain lion never ruflles the temper
of this tree if these animals do not pre-.
sumo on too great familiarity with it.
They may lie around it as long as they
care TO, but if one of them 50 far forge
itself rs to rub or scratch the trunk of
the tree, the hot-tempcred thing will fly
into one of its tantrums instantly and
the way Mr.. Bear, Wolf or Lion will make
himself scarce in those parts is a whole
circus to see. Nothing will work this
tree up to concert pitch, though, so quick
and chtctually rs throwing stones at it,
Then it will actually rip and tear, and
no living thing would think of going
within gunshot of it. Some folks out at
liouck's Tank call this tree the porcu-
pine tree. | call it the holy terror tree.
But no matter what you cali it, it is a
queer job of nature, and Arizona claims
it rs her own.

Good wives Come Very Cheap In Some
Countries.
Human history opens with Eden, n
perfect marriage aud a happy family.
And ever since that time, even with all
civilized peoples, the servitude of the
bride is clearly indicated.

In Brazil a couple may be married by
drinking brandy together; in Japan, by
so many cups of wine; in Russia and
Scandinavia it used to be one cup for
both.

In the earliest times of purchase wo.

latter way Jacob purchased Rachel and

his father and his mother and cleavcs
unto his wife, and they become one flesh
or kin, the woman's.

Our citizens to the number of two or
three hundred gathered on the burnt
district here, on last Monday afternoon
at two o'clock, to witness the exhibition
made by the Cincinnati Tin and Japan
Fire EXtinguisher Co. The test was
given under the personal supervision of
Mr., Herman b. Wells, president of the
company, of Cincinnati, and Mr.. w. V.
Snyder, the local agent, of Georgetown,
Ohio, and was satisfactory in every
respect, clearly demonstrating the Stem
pie Ex;inguisher to be one of the best
methods yet devised or invented for the
controlling of fire.
A structure of pine boards was built,
and after being thoroughly saturated
with coal-oil, a match was applied. The
extinguisher was then turned on and the
fire put out in about ten seconds. All
who witnessed the test were thoroughly
satisfied that the Stemple will do all and

MORRILL'S CRIMES.
THE TRUTH STANDS OUT AS GROSS
AS BLACK AND WHITE.
The ReCOrd Tells a Thousand Several
Tales, and Every Tale Condemns
Him for Villain.

The campaign Whirls along toward it's
close, men, measures and methods are
being discussed on all sides, and yet
there is not one who dsres to de-
fsnd the villsinous record Of E. N.
Morrill, or r. W. Blue, candidates for
governor and congressman st-large.
Republican, democratic and POpulist
papers have told and ,re-told the heart
rsnding story Of how Morrill, robbed
and blackmRiled the homestead settlers
of Northern Kansas; that the land in
side Of certain boundaries was granted
By congress to the st. Joseph & Denver
City railroad; that after 1t was discoV-
cred that many pieces of land within
this twenty mile limit had been fled
upon by homesteRders, congress passed
another act indsmnifying the company
and protecting the title OF the home
steaders; that this act the railroad COM
pRny ignored and entered into an
arrange ment with E. N. Morrill, and his
partner, James, for the purpose OF extort-
ing money from the settlers; this was
done through the ordinary process Of
legal blackmAiling, and Morrill, was
Just the man to do it. 1t required man
with no conscience. The settlers were
shown by the records that their title
10 the land was not clear; that the rail
road company had had q prior claim on
it which claim had been transferred to
Morrill, & James; they were told (ndi-
viduRlly) that in consideration OF the
payment Of certain sum Of moDey the
cloud would be removed BY the giving
Of q quit claim deed.
In doing this, Morrill, made demands
which nobody on Gods earth had q legal
or moral right to make. But many OF
the settlers did not understand the case
and many Of those who did understand
did not wish to stand the expense OF q
suit
They paid the blood money demanded
paid it to E. N. Morrill,, now candi
date for governor.
Then came suffering and want snd
star vRtlon. The settlers were poor, buI
they must save their homes, even il they
must do without the necessRries OF life
And E. N. Morrill, grew rich Of tho
toll Of these honest men, and afterwsrt
went to congress.
All this has been told by papers Of al
parties, as have the facts about R. W

swer we have heard was from the chair
man Of Morrill's committee, who says:
"Lt was a business transaction and he
would have been foolish not to take ad-
vantage Of it."
Since the ADVOCATE began publishing
the statements Of those who had suf-
fered from Morrill's avarics and dis
honesty, some 5000 new names have
been added to our list Of readers, there
fore the general outline Of the sWindling
operations is given above and some new
testimony added to that already pub

ANOTHER OLD SOLDIER ROBBED.
Here is @ statement n Rde by Joseph
Koles to L. j. Sprengle Of the Washing
ington Republic. Mr.. Koles was q sol
dier in Company G, Twenty-ninth regi-
ment, Missouri V. l., and was honorsbly
discharged. He lives at Hanover, Kas.,
and homestesded the northeast quarter

ington county. He says:
DEAR FR1RND AND BRoTHRR:-While you
are publishing the way E. N. Morrill, treated
settlers in this oonnty, want TO state my
case. l had the usual trouble with the rail
road company, but not wanting any cloud
on my title, and having no money TO hire
lawyers, finally compromised the matter
with E. N. Morrill, for $500, he agreeing to
lend me the money at II per cent. Mr..
Morrill, then wrote up quit. claim deed,
and Alfred Mitchell and wife signed it.
After the relief acb Of March 3, 1887, was
passed, l applied for reimbursements, but

The point in this case is, as shown BY
the correspondence which Mr.. Kolea
speaks Of, that the railroad company
had no claim on the land, hence the
United States would not reimburse Mr..
Koles for the money stolen By Morrill,
and his fellow thieves. 1t is no wonder
the outraged man would rather sec this
scoundrel in an iron cell than in the
governors Office.

BAKER IS SAFE.
RUSSELL, October 11.-Congresgman
Baker has this week held meetings In
the counties along the Union Pacific
railroad which comprise the southern
tier Of counties Of the big Sixth congress
sionRl district. These counties two years
ago gave Mr.. Pestina, the unsuccessful
republican candidate against Mr.. Baker,
over 1000 majority. The situation has
materially changed this year, and Mr..
Baker will beat Mr.. Ellis, his republican
opponent, in nearly every one Of these

by a largely increased plurality, and the

bill as whole; the only reference to it
is an indirect one in the shape of affirm
alton of the last Democratic platform
which declcares protection a fraud, and
a recognition of the beneficial reduction
of duties on imports made by Congress.
In substance the resolution denounces
the protection in the bill and approves
the free trade provisions. On this point
the platform is distinct victory for
