CROPPING OFF EXPENSES.
Progress of the Improvements at the
 Penitentiary.

Tucson Star: Improvements at the penitentiary are proceeding with great rapidity. The large building to be oc- cupied by the electric plant, the laundry, the bath house, the tailor and shoe shops is completed. Nearly all this work has been done by prison labor but which if let by contract would have cost many thousand dollars.
 The engine and electric plant will soon be put in and before long steam cooking plant will Ibe added.
 Experiments on the farm have been very encouraging. About -four loads of tomatoes have been grown for the use of the prisoners, also a lot of green peas, onions and turnips. All this is only an incident of the experimental work but now the experimental stage which was very satisfactory is past and next year operations will be conducted on a scale grand enough to result in supplying the prison with all the produce required. Thus will another saving of several thousand dollars be effected.
 On account of the many recent but unsuccessful attempts to escape an- other guard has been added ito the force
 There is said to be a prevalent feel ing of satisfaction at Yuma on account of the certain and early prospect of the construction of the Ibig canal.

COMING THIS WAY!
Francis Schlatter Now in Northern
 New Mexico.

Schlatter, the healer, left Embudo, Taos county, at 2 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon, says the New Mexican of last Saturday, taking the main highway down the Rio Grande toward Santa Cruz. Denver & Rio Grande trainmen saw him on the road an hour later, he being easily recognized from his white horse and by his remarkable personal resemblance to the print pictures of Jesus Christ. It was expected that he would reach Santa Cruz about o'clock last night. He doubtless spent the night there, and perhaps he reached John Bouquets place at Pojoaque about noon today. TO
 As to what the healer's plans are for the immediate future nothing is as yet known. It may be that he will make a prolonged stay in Santa Fe, in accord ance with his promise made to the crowds that greeted him so devoutly at Lamy in September when he passed through from Albuquerque to Denver. The faithful who were at Lamy at that time confidently declare their belief that he will keep his word then given to them.

taininig reports was heavy, and it was thought by the powers that be that this point could be omitted with perfect safety. But the officials had not taken MT. Bowers into their calculations. He immediately boarded grip-car and hastened out ito the weather bureau. composing little address on his way.
 He told those in charge that it was not a question of expense, but of envy. He said that when his associates upon the floor who were less fortunately situated geographically looked at the map in the lobby and saw blizzards, snow storms, cold waves and all sorts of unpleasant atmospheric conditions existing in other cities, then g,ancing at the tag assigned to San Diego and saw that the temperature was about S2, the weather delightful and all the con- ditions conducive to Paradisical com fort, they became consumed with envy, and forthwith proceeded to islander the city which he represented.
 MT. Bowers won out, and the tag showing the weather in San Diego has been replaced upon the map

BOLD DESERTERS.
They Leave Fort Grant With Gov

Willcox News: Last Wednesday two soldiers at Fort Grant, serving out short sentence for petty mis- demeanor at the post induced the sen try guarding them to make a break and desert and quit Uncle Sam's bed and board of pork and beans Accord ingly they took couple of mules and wagon and started down the main road, thinking, no doubt, that he sol- diers would pursue them with the same success that usually attends their eff forts to capture the willy Apache.
 But a United States regular is not an Apache and their comrades over hauled them about three miles out from Wilicox and placed them under arrest, and the chances are that they will exchange the glittering saber and the carbine and sixshooter for the base pick and shovel and serve out the bal ance of their time at Fort Logan with out pay.

THE GREAT TOBACCO WAR.

Many of our readers know of the war existing between the manufaetur- CTS of plug chewing tobacco, but few. perhaps, are familiar with the cause
 For years some manufacturers have been making enormous profits by giv~ ing consumers a small piece of plug for ten cents. Recently very large manufacturer, seeing that the time had come for better things, has placed new brand called Battle AK on the market, which gives the consumer 8 very large piece of most excellent quality flor the same price. This has raised a storm among those who are hurt by it, but it gives joy to those who use the goods. In Battle AK they get greater quantity for their money. while the quality is equal to the finest of other brands. This has naturally had the effect of greatly decreasing the business of those who have held to the old way ,and it has materially cur tailed their enormous profits. On the other hand Battle AK taxes the re- sources of three large factories, which Jby running night and day, are still unable to make the goods fast enough to satisfy the enthusiastic demand.
 The people want 3 good thing and the most of it that they can get for the price. The manufacturers who do the best lby them will get the trade. Thei, rivals naturally do not like it. They raise mighty howl, but the AK will cut them down.

Nearly a sufficient number of teams have been secured by the railroad people to fill their contract from the end of the road, and once started there is no pros pect of a shut down at Globe for some time, as it will cost less than one-half the old price to move coke from the Southern Pacific to the copper camp with the present railroad facilities. Construction work is now in progress and the railroad is being pushed on to Globe
 A majority of the Indians on the San Carlos reservation have given their consent to the road passing through their reservation and not much trouble is looked for with the minority who are opposed ito the road. Everything points to new era of prosperity in the Gila valley and the great copper camp of Globe.

WHERE THE FAULT LIES.
Indian MurdersDue to Governmental
 CareIessness.

Willcox News: The eastern news papers are making great howl over the fact that man and a woman were killed by Indians in Arizona, some of them going so far as to use a clinching argument against the admission of this territory as a state the fact that we have wild murdering Indians prowl- ing around the hills. That there is a murder committed by Indians in Ari- zona now and then we are forced to admit to be true, and it is to the dis credit of the United States government and not to Arizona territory. Give us statehood and we will soon enact laws which will keep these wards of the government on their reservation where they belong and not allow them ito prowl about the hills good Indians when they meet men with guns in their hands, and red-handed murderers when they meet unarmed men and de- fenseleSs women.
 The authorities at Washington know that here are fifteen or twenty Indians who have their home in the Sierra
 Madre mountains in Mexico and who make periodical raids, in small bands, up to the San Carlos reservation every 'year for the purpose of getting am- munition and occasionally squaw or two, and that these raids have been go- ing on for the past seven or eight years and yet not a move has been made to capture the band. Again we say that it is a disgrace to the United States and not to Arizona that a defenseless man and woman were killed at Ash Springs.

The Conviction of Jesus
 Daniel.
A Murder Case of Especial in-
 taFeSt.
How a Husband 7tdded His House of the Terro1S of .. Scolding
 Wife.

Judge Baker returned yesterday morning from Yuma, where he had held three days session of court In attendance from Phoenix were also Joseph Campbell, c. F. Ainsworth and Court StenOgrapher Holmes. The first named was attorney for Jesus Daniel, whose case was the only criminal ac- tion tried.
 The Daniel case in many ways was one of the most peculiar ever known in Arizona, and now stands with yer dict of murder in the first degree, ren- dered by the jury Tuesday evening, after brief consideration. The usual motion for new trial was made by at torneys flor the defense.
 Daniel is a half-broUher to Jose Maria Sortillon, wno was sentenced to hang in Phoenix a few months ago, from the decision of a United States jury that upon him lay the crime of mur- dering his own child, causing it to be buried alive near the house of it's mother, 8 Mohave squaw, resident up- on the Colorado river reservation. Sortillon. now comparatively safe through recent interpretation of law, is out on bail and was an interested spectator in the court room at Yuma, where he, perhaps profting by his experience as sheriff of the Phoenix Jail kangaroo court, was quick ito note and express disapproval at the slight est departures from decorum. He also served as a witness for the defense.
 The charge of murder against Daniel was based upon the alleged drowning by him of his wife in the Colorado river near Ehrenburg Evidence there was in plenty that Daniel and his wife had repeatedly Quarreled and that their home was anything but bower of bliss. The evidence as to the murder was wholly circumstantial, yet showed that he had pushed the young woman from the bank into the Colorado at flood, with murderous intent.
 The murder occurred in the latter part of 1891, but for only short time has Daniel been in prison under the charge. He was not yet 30 when the deed was done, and only few months had elapsed ere he took to himself another spouse. She, a fairly comedy young Mexican woman. sat with him in the court room and took the Hive Hest interest in the proceedings.
 Defendant was placed on the stand on his own behalf His story was that his wife was bitterly jealous of ishe woman he afterward married. Neither does he deny the drowning, though the body was never found. They were walking by the Colorado, he stated when she began to upbraid him for in- fidelity and breaking away from his grasp, ran to the bank and threw her self into the rapid current. He plunged after, but failed to reach her, and her body was borne away.
 Suspicion rested heavily upon him however, for his reputation, despite his biblical names, was anything but saintly and his arrest eventually was secured.

Washington Times: MT. Bowers of California is, when occasion requires, of an eXcitable temperament, and this fact was made sef-evident when he walked into the speakers lobby the other morning and looked at the big weather map hanging on the wall and discovered that the tag heretofore al- dotted to San Diego was missing.
 MT. Bowers turned himself loose and hunted up the man in charge of the map, and was informed that San Diego had been dropped dropped in the inter est of economy. The expenses of ob-

Natural presumption is that they will
run more or less, but unless either
wheat goes down, -four up, or rates de-
