Consul Mascareilas the energetic re- presentative of Mexico in Nogales, is hard at work preparing a report on the resources of Nogales and Pima county and after it is finished it will be published in "El Diario Official,n the official paper of the Mexican gov vernmeat.

The ball given at the opera house Christmas eve was very successful affair, and although the company was not extraordinarily large, everyone who attended had an enjoyable time. The dancing lasted until three o'clock, when all hands repaired to the Cali fornia chop house where they partook of an excellent supper, prepared by the proprietor of that place. The able manner in which the "bastonero" (H. K. CheHoweth) managed the affair went long way towards it's success.

Thursday an amusing incident oc- cured at the depot. On the plat form work train hand approached Mr. Zeimet with a time check he wanted cashed. It required the countersignature of MT. Albrecht, and Zeimet directed the man to the stair way to reach the office of MT. A. No further attention was paid the man but in a moment he was seen upon the roof looking for MT. Albrecht, having mistaken the fire ladder for the stair way to the office.

MEN WHO ARE DISCOURAGED.

Seattle, Dec. 1S, 1895.
To the Editor: I wish TO be permitted 10
enter my protest TO the sentiment ex-
pressed Ia the clipping from the Spokane
Chronicle in which IL IL said that none OF
the worlds great achievements were ever
brought about by Eaen who were discour-
aged. God does not want. God cannot use,
discouraged man" Now. / declare this
assertion 20 be false. absolutely so. Going
back 10 the time OF Moses. we discover
that he was very much discouraged TO find
that his people did not understand his
mission. and had 10 exile himself forty
years, and yet he was called OF God to do
a great work.
Elijah was discouraged. as we read in
j. Kings, xix. David was discouraged at
Sauls doings, and again when Absolom
rebelled against him and he had TO flee for
his life. The Apostles were discouraged
when their Lord and Master was killed,
and yet who will say they did not great
work?
Lord Give, OF British India fame. was so
discouraged tn early youth that he endeav-
ored 10 take his own life. and his failure
20 do so changed his mind and the history
OF India as well wide pages So, volume s.
Encyclopedia Britannica), and no man
dare say our own Lincoln was never dis
couraged. You Will perhaps call to mind
the story of Secretary Stanton having re-
buked Mr.. Lincoln for telling one of his
jokes Just at time when some bad news
had been received. Mr.. Stanton remarked
that IL was no time for joking. Mr.. Lam
coin grew grave at once and made reply
that II ne did not give vent TO his feelings
he would die. showing clearly that lie did
suffer from feeling OF dscouragement
As / understand the English language,
discourage and defeat are two different
words and have different meanings, and I
feel that ae this time. or any other time.
the sentiment expressed in the Chronicle
IL both false and injurious. The people OF
the United States and the world have

such fool sentiments slapped I'm their

BROOKS MURDERoUS BLACKS.
JERRY JEFFERS TO HANG AND HIS
BROTHER GOES UP FOR LIFE.

Their Crime the Murder of Tiu
MauIden ON the Highway without
PrOVOcntiOn - The Killing the
First Step in the Brooks County
Race Mnr-A War Dance on the
SPOT Where Maulden Was shot
Down.
Quitman, Ca. Feb. 6.-The day in
Brooks superior court was taken up In
the trial OF Jerry Jeffers and Sherman
Jeffers, both colored, charged with the
murder OF Tip Mauldin. white man.
about three months ago. Jerry was found
guilty OF murder in the first degree with
no recommendation. and Sherman Of muir
der in the second degree with the recon-
mendation that he be sent to the peni-
tentiary for life. Both are young negroes
scarcely over % years old.
on the night OF Dec. /, Tip Maulden,
well-known white man and constable for
the Morvin district justice court, met
crowd Of negroes on the public road and
inquired II Jerry Jeffers was in the crowd.
He had no warrant for Jeffers but wanted
to ask him a question about another ne
gro. Jeffers' reply was to shoot Maulden
down in cold blood sherman Jeffers fred
on him after he was shot down. These ne
groes had been passing as Frank and Jesse
James, and were loafng around over the
country ana boasting that no one would
ever arrest them. They murdered Maui
den simply because the desire to kill was
in their hearts
This murder was the first step i'm the ia
nous Brooks county race war OF Christ
mas week, which was so exaggerated by
many papers. A few nights after Maulden
was murdered. crowd Of negroes met at
the spot where he was killed and ceIe-
brated the event with a war dance. Af-
forwards a band was organized whose
oath Of allegiance was to do up the men
who were instrumental in arresting and
falling the Jeffers negroes.
The murder OF Joe lsom by Waverly
Pike, colored, will be remembered by
readers OF the Morning News as the sec
ond and initial step in the Brooks county
war. Isom was one Of the leaders in ar
resting the Jeffers negroes and Pike was
the leader in the band of negroes that was
TO stand by the Jeffers boys The trial and
conviction to-day is the first step in pun
ishing the murderers Of innocent men.
Jerry Jeffers win hang and Sherman
Jeffers VIII spend the balance Of his life
in the penitentiary. Waverly Pike. Isom's
murderer, was never captured. Yves Nc
Cali, another negro, who was with him at
the time Of the murder. will probably be
tried this week
