WAR DECLARED.
Legal Contests Over School
Elections Begun.
A Curious Combination of Circum-
stances Leaves the Osborne Dis
trict Uncared For.

War over the school election in two
districts No. 5 and No. 35 has been for
mally declared. From district No. 5
there have come up two formidable
documents; one is aipetition for the ap-
pointment of Thomas K. Elvey as
trustee to succeed J. D. Crabb. This is
signed by twenty-five residents of the
district.
The o5her is notice of contest and
petition to declare vacant the Office of
trustee now held by zone J. .. Crabb
by virtue OF pretended election held
etc."
The notice presents several reasons
why the election was "pretended" and
irregular. 1t alleges that there was no
inspector, no judges, no clerks, no any
thing but single individual who re-
ceived the ballots, counted them and in
every way invested the occasion with a
beautiful simplicity and informality.
That's enc reason why the contestants
claim they were divested of fair
shake. Then again it was asserted that
there was an importation chat day of
persons who are not citizens of the
! y hlICo DbdbC5i III VIC VI VI w.
1t is also charged that many
persons voted presumably for
Crabb who were chlldless and
non taxpaying and therefore ineligible.
AS last count the contestants claim
that the polls were kept open for SO
brief period that the real voters and
opponents of zone Crabb," who were
not fully informed were given no op-
portunity of free and unbiased ex.
preston.
The trouble in district No. 35 was oi
the same general character and the
remedy desired of precisely the same
nature, the appointment by the super
intendent OF some man who was moi
elected. Papers in other contests are
expected hourly, so that whenever the
door of the uperintendent's Office il
opened, that official starts up in alarm
and Clerk Pearce always wants to bel
that another district has been hearc
from.
A funny thing has happened in the
Osborne district. By the processes o
statutory termination, resignation anc
emigration the district is without 6
trustee. That is, the term of one mar
expired, another weary of carking cares
of office, resigned and another moved
out OF the district To further com
plicate matters, no election was held.

THE INCOME TAX.
Phoenix Residents Required to Make
q Showing.


Hon. c. NJ. shannon, collector of
internal revenue for the district of
Arizona and New Mexico. arrived in
the CITY yesterday On official business.
The official business YVES relative to the
income tax and it is matter of con.
lecture, though not serious conjecture,
whether the government will gather
enough money from his visit to pay the
expenses of it. But that. was none of
Mr.. Shannon's business. He went
about his work as seriously SIS if he we're
operating in a city of millionaires.
As the law stood in the first place the
citizens of Phoenix would have come
within reach OF the law, but that por-
ton OF it imposing tax upon incomes
derived from rent having been knocked
out by the supreme court, they are
placed in q position lot to care whether
there is an income tax or not. Phoenix
will contribute something, though, to
the proceeds from an income tax, but
it will be paid mostly by corporations.
There are in the territory, Mr.. Shan
non says, several firms and persons
whom the law embraces.l

Mr.. BELLoWs's TALKS.
The Influence of Science upon Modern
Literature.

Mr.. Bellows's talk yesterday began by
his giving a picture of the burning OF
Giordano Bruno in Rome, astronomical
heres1es, and contrasted it with the most
radical declarations of the triumph OF
materialisn made by Professor Tyndall
less than quarter Of a century ago, at
which many timid minds still trem bled.
The whirling of time brings in its re-
venges," and science today is one OF the
dominating influences. in literature. Two
of the most talked abouG books of the
last season were kida's Social Evolu-
ton" and Drummond's Ascent of Man,"
both of which dealt with the great prob
lens of life and society from che strictly
scientific standpoint. In critical essays
there las been a complete revolution.
Extracts were read from the poetry OF
George Meredith ESQ full of the love OF
law,n) and Il remarkable novel called
Roger Hunt" to show the outworking
in fiction OF the new "Rellgion of Sci
ence." wherein emotion and conscience
are too often regarded as conventional
signs" In the great Russian novelists,
in Balzac, sometimes reokoned the IA
Their of realism; in lola, who carries his
theory to its last and most bitter ex-
IRENE; in Ibsen, painting the sores OF
poor humanity and the rottenness of So
ciety, we. have the dissecting soalpel of
the surgeon who finds disease as beauti-
full subject" as health.
In poetry, the same scientific tendency
is shown in the accurate description of
Tennyson, hose botany is said to be
wonderfully correct, and in Browning,
who is one of the most profound of mod
ern psychologists, as illustrated in such
form as My Last Duchesse. The leotur-
er concluded with the hope that this age
of indecision might ere long pass into an
age of greater hope and faith, when pos
silbly, by reason of scientific discoveries,
the present world should be made
broader and fairer, and there should be
a greater certainty as TO the life beyond
earth.
