tenth legislative session in 1879.
 Hence MT. Meade must have been
 lifted" somewhat before the Star
 found him in Tombstone. Again the
 present governor and the Star sup ported Mir. Thomas Gates, the chair man of the territorial democratic com mittee for United States marshal of Arizona, immediately upon MT. Cleve- lands first election, and kept at it until MT. Meade was appointed. Sure ly MT. Hughes and the Star cannot claim that they were at that time en- gagged in the self proclaimed task ot
 lifting MT. Meade into public life. '" The value of the lifting powers of MT.
 Hughes and the Star at that time can
 be judged from the fact that Mir
 Hughes was himself an applicant upon
 Mir Cleyeland's first inauguration, for the office of surveyor general of Ari- zona. The gentleman went into Wash ington at that time, and stayed there several months lifting" for himself, but like the fellow who undertook to lift himself over the fence by the straps of his boots, he failed. Mr. Hughes did not get the coveted office of surveyor general, but Meade, againss his opposition did got tu the United States marshalship. Therefore this young miner must have csciI tnen had better litter than Mr Hughes and the Star combined; or did the g'H- ernor and the Star while lifting for the office of surveyor general for Hughes and for the office of marshal for Gates, lift so hard that the effort rebounded, and lifted the governor and Gates out. and Meade in. l. is always well, Governor, to look out for the recoil. The mark has often been missed" by not calculating it's force.
 The Star does not say just how much, or just when the governor and the Star lifted" MT. Meade into pub- lie life: but certainly 1t did not lift him into the legislature for he was elected from Pinal county, and the Star only found him after he went to Tombstone. It did not lift him into the marshalship of Arizona under Cleveland's first administration for MT. Hughes and the Star were mak- ing a life and death effort to lift MT. Gates into that office when Mir. Meade received the appointment
 The Star also treats THE OASIS to what it calls ''un written history" as to MT. Meade's appointment by Gov ernor Hughes to the office of prison Why it does so is as unaccountabe as anything else the Star says it does. That journal claims that Governor Hughes persisted in appointing MT. Meade after the coun- cl had rejected him twice. We'll what of it? It is very unkindly assert ed that Mr. Meade was rejected be- cause the place had been promised to SO many of Governor Hughes friends that they contriyed to reject Meade to get him out of the way 10 get the place for one Of themselves A former friend to Governor Hughes says he would like to have 1'HE OASIS get the true inwardness, the "uu- written history" as the Star calls it, of why so many of his excelIeucy's former friends, both democrats and 1 republicans, are now so luke-warm to- wards him.
 The Star says it is not necessary tol describe the color of the air in the eX- ecutiye office, just after the lcgi E. lature adjourned. Do describe it Gov ernOr. It is unkndly asserted 1t would be very much more readable

the early morning hours from the
country round about, for Smiths up this
way are thick as golden rod. More

noon the reunion WAS In full blast
Each party brought It's own food and
provided It's own transportation. Din
ner was eaten on tables stretched be-
meath the trees of the grove, and the
young people danced and enjoyed them
selves. while the older ones talked over
thousand and one subjects which
found a common interest.
IL was hoped that James Smith .jr.,
the United States Senator, would be able
to be here to-day. but he sent word he

The two youngsters looked frightened.
Their father and their uncle, Mr.. Price,
who lives on Chestnut Hill. were with
them. Mr.. Price was Jesse's bondsmar.
The boy Elias is named after his father.
The two boys had been reading dime
novels, which accounts for their behav-
Tor. They were suspected of doing a
number of wicked things in the neighbor-
hood, and the neighbors were much ex-
ercised over their conduct.
Mr. Heyerdahl told his story. and the
other evidence against the boys was so
conclusive that there seemed to be lit
tie possibility of their escaping.
The charges against Elias, jr., were
withdrawn on account OF his youth, but
those against Jesse were pressed.
The latter pleaded guilty, and was sent

IS THE DIVORCE LEGAL7
A Question May Arise Over the
Henley--Bertrand Marriage.

Actor Edward j. Henley and Helen
Bertrand, the comic opera singer. are
to be married. THE Evening WORLD
published the fact exclusively yester-
day that Sig. Achllle Tomasi had been
granted a decree of absolute divorce
from the pretty prima donna on account
of her relations with the actor.
Both Henley and the singer are now
In st. Louis. She Is singing at Terrace
Park, while he has been conducting
a Summer roof garden on top of the
big Union Trust Company's building.
AS soon as The Evening World"
made the granting of the divorce public.
the news was te!egraphed to Henley.
He received 1t with expressions of
pleasure. and stated that they would
be married and leave for New York
this week.
1t Is said that a question will be
raised as to the legality of their mar
riage In Missouri. Had the divorce
been granted there II would have been
all right. but there is some doubt ex-
pressed as to the status OF the New
York decree there.
Henleys venture in conducting a roof
garden concert in st. Louis proved
somewh of a failure. He ran II on
the New York plan, but trouble arose
with partners, which resulted in his
withdrawal.
