The Commissioners of King Co.
after raising the bond from 100000
to S4OO, 900, now refuse to approve
the bond of J. w. Maple, the new
populist treasurer, and have ap-
pointed another man to act as
treasurer. Judge Orange Jacobs in
a letter published in Sundays P.-I.
arraigns the commissioners for be-
ing very unjust to Mr.. Maple, and
concludes as follows: "Let the
Board of County Commissioners
rescind their order fixing the
amount of these bonds at $500, 900
each, then accept the bond rendered
which is conceded to be sufficient,
and let the voice of the people
prevail"

a happy prophecy of the golden age

one years. Hon. Mrs. Holly, one
of the three women members, was
the author of the bill.

The Kid does not by any means confne
himself to forays and murderous out
RACES. He has passion for stealing girls
for wives. His first achievement in this
line was the capture of Jo-ash ay, an
Apache maiden whom he took from the
door of her wickirp on the San Carlos
reservation in September, 1890. He next
secured the mlld-faced Na-theth-lay, who
was but - years old. He came upon the
giIl and her mother at Ciblcu crossing of
the Salt river on the reservation May II.
1892. He killed the mother and made
captive the daughter. but released her
shortly after and she returned to the res
ervation. His third victim was NAH
tahgo-yah. the daughter of Indian scout
Jack Long. She was forcibly taken by
the Kid from tho reservation October %.
1892. While he was engaged in this alb.
duction his first wife, Jo-ash-ay. escaped
from his camp and made her way to her
reservation alone. She has since acted as
guido for the troops in pursuit OF the
Kid. 1t was through her that Jack Long
effected the rescue of his daughter.
The most notable expedition hitheT-
to led against the Kid was in 1892 by
Lieutenant Williams of Fort Whipple,
near prescott, Ariz. He took a detach-
ment of thirteen Apache scouts. keen

THE MEANING
OF CHASTITY
Early Teachings Were
Much More Severe
Than Now
CHASTITY OF BODY OR MIND
Like the Bloom on the Plum or the
Scales on the Butterfly, When

CHASTITY OF BODY OR MIND
icy Lady Cook, nee Tennessee C. Claflin.l

Whatever superiority we may have
over those of former times, we do not
surpass them in honesty. Our straight
forward ancestors were not ashamed to
call a spade spade, nor to discuss social
relations, with their virtues and vices,
in candid and manly way. But in this
hyper sensitive and hystericaI age, with
its sham beliefs and mock 10 des ties we
are expected Ito remsain silent on the
most important topics. There are scarce
ly any social subjects worth talking or
writing about which can be discussed
without reprobation. Some are too con-
troversial and others too delicate and
this tlmldity and hypocrisy sap the foun-
dations OF valuable truths. If we could
only be little more robust in our
faiths and views We should be infinitely
more honest, and consequently more yir-
tuous. But the mere mention of the
sweet word which heads these remarks
the much loved theme of our purest poets
is enough to make many sbiyer with
apprehension.
And yet all who learn the church cate
CHI ism in their youth are taught that a
part OF our duty to our neighbors is "to
keep my body in Temperance, soberness
and Chastity Are the little rustics,
who are SO well drilled how Ito order
themselves lowly and reverently to all
their betters, ever taught the meaning
of chastity? Yet it was the intention OF
Bishop Overal. who thus enlarged the
brIgnial catechism, and of the Hampton

cause their children to learn and attend
as appointed, but by one of the articles
of 1871, they "whose child at 10 years old
or upwards could not say the catechisrn

APACHE KID
THE FAMOUS OUTLAW OF ARIZONA
A TERROR

The Apacne kid is what they call the
Indian outlaw whose name has fascina-
ton. terror for every dweller upon the
southwestern border OF Arizona and New
Mexico. Its mention will cause the most
daring frontiersmen to clasp his weapon
with firmer grip. 1t Will send children
trem bling to their mothers from their
play.
The person who thus terrorizes this
wild region. where ordinary crimes pass
current, is renegade Apache Indian,
with all the devilish ingenuity OF that
fendish race. His Indian name is Es XII
bi-Nadel. and he is under 30 years OF age.
He was educated at the Hampton Indian
school. from which he was sent to the
government reservation at San Carlos,
ArIz., where he was trained as u scout for
the regular army. His natural aptitude
soon made him familiar with military
tactics and the mode OF scouting and fight.
ing of the United States troops. But
neither education nor association with
the white men could repress the savagery
OF his nature, and be melted an outbreak
among the Indians on the reservation and
set fire to the school house. This offense
was promptly punished by the arrest OF
the Kid and seven OF his followers. On
the I'd of November. 1889, while they were
being conveyed to Jail in a stage coach by
the sheriff and his posse. they broke their
bonds near Riverside. Ariz., killed tn.
sheriff and escaped to the Sierra Madre
mountains, in the province of Sonora,
Mexico Just over the line from Arizona
and New Mexico.
That was the beginning of a career that
has no parallel in Indian atrocity. Secure
in these arid mountains, whose every ap-
proach is guarded by barrer Of nature
formidable and awful. with trackless
mazes Of desert sandhills, and having
only at great distances water holes and
patches of cultiyation-here the Kids
band has been constantly increased
by disaffected Indians from the reserva-
tioas and from Mexico. They nave 1aided
the border and penetrate far into the in
terror, leaving a trail OF blood behind
them. They are even now destroying
the h ONES of ranchmen, waylaying trav-
elers along the desert roads, ambushing
gold-seekers in the arid hills. picking out
cowboys on their lonely ranges stealing
into settlements in the stiffness of night,
plundering and killing the sleeping in
habitants, until hundreds of people have
net death by the hand of the Apache
Kid and his band curing the past tour
years.
Though rewards of $4,000 by the gov.
ernor of Arizona and $4,000 by tho gov

be in the electric carriage which can be

of heavy loads. The experiments which
