QUIJOTOA WELDON DEAD.

 a Poor Man.


 Takes Strychnipe at Phoenix-Died
 a Poor Man.
 Albert Weldon, one of the original locators of Quijotos, committed suicide at Phoenix night before last. He was found dead in his bed yesterday morn ing, with bottle of strycbnine near.
 Weldon is another of the old timers to take himself from this Arizona that is not what 1t was thirty years ago. He came to Arizona in 1861 with California column. For long time he was at the Point of Mountain station. Later he was at Bowie, and from there he went to New Mexico. He was for years in California where he was engaged in the lumber business.
 His resi- career in Arizona begun in 1876, when he returned here. He wac keen prospector, and one of the original locstors of the Quijotoss. The famous Weldon group was once his. He owned a sixth of the Quijotoss, the oth CT five interested being W. c. Davis, Alex Mckay, George Teetswerth, - Roark and Martin Meadley. What they got for the Quijotoas is not well known. It was popular report, however, that they got S60, 900 and stock.
 Weldon afterwards double consider ably in Quijotoa stock. It is said of the six forJuntunRte owners that only one or two of them have any of the Quijotoa money left. MT Davis was more careful of his funds than the others and Is we'll of in this worlds goods. Mckay also has something. As for the others, Vel don died poor, and Martin Medley died "broke," Roark and Teetsworth are both said to be poor.
 Weldon dIed poor in pocket but rich in friends. An ideal Arizona miner, hearty good fellow, kindly to the last degree, his unfortunate demise W Il be sorely regretted by many Arizonaus.

TUESDAY NIGHTS LECTURE. The "Hawaiin Islauds'-The Occasio,
 Success.

The Bohemian club lecture Tuesday night by General Wilson WAS very int. r esting and instructive. The att endancs < was large and the audience as good as Tucson could possibly furnish. All expressed themselves as plesed ana satisfied.
 The speaker compared the civilization of Hawaii with that of Mexico, follow ing the address by Col. ZabriskIe. Col. Zsbriskie t"ld how the natives of Mexico were brought to their present state by sword and torch, and General Wilson explained the Christianization of the Haw8iians.
 The natives of Hawaii as savages never killed but one white msn-Csptain Cook. The native version of the affair is different from the English.
 The natives had a prophecy, handed down for centuries, that they We're come day to be governed by B superior race. The first arrival of Captain Cook they believed fulfilled this expectation. Cook was treated the first tina with highest consideration. During the time intervening before the second visit the natives wondered If they were indeed 6 wonderful race, and superior to pain. So on the second visit of Cook the King squeezed Cooks hand s,verely, and the reported found correctly engrossed. AL so that H JR No 2 WAS reported engross- ed and placed in the hands of the clerk. captain winced. This confirmed the doubt of the natives. Cook having per mitted the destruction of their chief temple, kind of corral, by the sailors, he was killed by the natives.
 The General said that in its early state there were no animals on the island. Now they have dogs and bogs, among others, and eat both.
 Much others interesting facts were re- lated. The lecture was in every way 8 success.

The Gorernar's Message.


Governor McGraw's message is worthy
OF more than passing consideration by
the people and comment by the press. In
tone 1t Is admirable. breathing through
out the rugged principles OF government
which too many OF our latter-day states
men have lost sight Of. The governor has
been close student Of tho political his
tory OF his country. Even through the
exciting political campaigns In which he
has been a controlling figure. and during
the most arduous and exciting hours of
the legislative sessions. he has made 1t
a practice to steal few hours from the
night for compandonship with his hooks.
The language. the tone and the recon-
mendations OF his message prove that
his extensive reading has left deep I'm
preston upon his mind.
Particularly Is the message admirable
In those parts which remind the iegisla-
tors and the people of the citizens duty
to the state. The country has had too
much &C the fin de steele teachings that
the state owes everything to the individ-
uai; that It must pay him lavishly for
every service and lift from his shoulders
the serious responsibilities OF life His
tory has no warrant for these seductive
teachings. The theories around which
they revolve are children OF the imagine
ton and the clouds. ard nothing substan-
tial or beneficial can come of these poll
teal aeronautics.
IL history and the teachings OF the past
We're not sufficient to impress our people
with these everlasting truths, the expert
ence Of the present has taught the lesson
well. For five years the state has been
reckless in yielding to the demands of
those who cherished the belief that the
public service and the public treasury
owed them living: but now ii must lay
It's hard and heavy hand upon Its citizens
in demand of a balance. All the easy
exactions of the past lustrum have now
come home TO toiling industry, and the
legislature is confronted with the serious
problem. Of sttaking Off the parasites and
giving relief to the people.
II Is hoped the members at Olympia
viii take the time to read and study every
line of the governors message recon-
mending retrenclaracnt ana reform, and
that they VIII be sufficiently Impressed
with the knowledge that the people can
NOT have relief if greedy and unpa.riotic
rings are to be- ssill further nourishca
Upon tribute wrung from industry and
thrift.
