see is 40 cents per capita, and would

Now, brother, study the above hg'

over twice every day for a week and

factory up, ready to make shoes. All
it lacks now is cash ID pay hands end

as we'll as the csuse. You can't afford
not to do this. Ten cents is les9 than
o~ne-fourth the actual profit you'll pay,
if you do not, to a factory which is be-
yond our borders, and t2ke3 from OR

medium to our State. Send to Bro. T.
Ivey at once your contribution to this
fund, and then prepare your order for
shoes. The winter is near at hand.
Do not delay this. I appeal to you
confidently, expecting you to hear me.
Every minute that you delay it is that
much time lost. The factory ought to
have been turning out shoes before
now. 1t must not stand idle.

The express companies, in order to
get their share" of business, carry
mailGbIe articles at one cent per ounce.
This is in competition with the post
1ffce. I do not E3lIeve the express
companies do this merely to accommo-
date people or II increase their bust
ness at the expense of profit. No one
ever accused them of being IN the bust
necs for their health Judging, then,
that they make a profit on this Is cent
a pound rate (Which is often divided
among three or four different com
panie3) we can form some idea of their
profits on busiue3spaying from 25 cents
to Is cents per pound-on local small
package business for short distances
the rate frequently IS higher. No, the
express companies don't skin the peo-
pie for nothing. They are only look

MARICOPA COUNTIES WEALTH.
A Statement of the Assessed Valuation
 of County Property.

Clerk Sheridan of the board of su- pervisors has just completed an ab- stract of the total assessed valuation of property in the county of Maricopa The following is correct statement of the property and it's assessed valu- ation:
 Number acres of land, 22S ,426; value $3, ,137, ,451; value town and city lots, $3, ,241 ,184; number horses, 3,995; value $79,214; number mules, 2S4; value $5, ,196; number asses, 6; value, $115 number cattle, 15,S60; value, $159, ,4S2 number sheep, 19,125; value, $2S,66 number goats, 261; value, s27S; number swine, S,916; value s16,93S; value all other property, sS51 ,544; number miles railroad, 99 9-10O; value, $457, ,36O; to- tai value of all property, $7,976,825.
 A decided gain by about $300,000 is shown over the assessment of '95 which was $7,573,102 For the year 35, 200 acres of land were assessed at $4 per acre and 29,920 acres assessed at S3 per acre. This is according to loca- tion of land and whether in an uncul- tivated or cultivated state By this statement it is shown that the value of acreage is higher than it is supposed to be.

What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.
 If farmers would make 0 study of natural history and it's bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen coops, for instance-there would be better paying crops.
 The Year Book of the department of agriculture tells about COW black birds and what they eat. About 2,3O0 and of these 2,25S contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent. of the food was animal, AS per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has a variety of things it eats.
 ''The animal food,' says the report. consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfsh, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails fishes, tree toads, salamanders inewts), lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice." To these might have been added young birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water, and probably meat and carrion of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These con stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the other two per cent. being the larger things, like mice. The animal food Is taken mostly in the summer. In win. ter the food is mostly vegetable matter. The insects the bird kills more than ma Ike up the damage he does, especially as his nest robbing appears to be only an accidental habit not often indulged in. A large flock of the birds would of course destroy lot of grain. Some 50,000 would eat about 5000 pounds day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de. stroy the amount the birds do.

metallic national convention would in
dorse Bryan's nomination He said:
AS one of the officers of the Bimetallic
League, don't think it would be altogether
proper for me to undertake to forecast what
1t will do. l know, however, that Mr. BRYAN
is great favorite with many men prominent

for president, he said:
Il can't say further than that they did
want Teller and hoped that the Chicago con-
vention would nominate him, SO they could
have indorsed him.
will the Populists indorse Bryan?" he
was asked
''They may, but I doubt it, because we
have got to maintain our party organization
We may nominate Teller and then agree to
divide our electoral tickets on the basis that
the strongest man may win after the general
result is known. This is feasible. and, after
all, it looks as 1t would be the Endorsement
OF Bryan, for he would most likely be the
beneficiary"
Democrats of ST. Louis who favor
Mckinley for president have decided
to come out and work for his election.

BALFOUR CONDEMNED.
For the Weakness shown by the
Government.


LONDON, July 14-The political sit
uation has been only partially relieved
by the yielding of Mr. Balfour, chief
secretary for Ireland, to the pressure
directed by Mr.. Russell, member Of
parliament for the South division Of
Tyrone, and Joseph Chamberlain, col
onial secretary, for modification of the
amendments to the Irish land bill.
There Is continuance today of the de-
mands of Mr.. Russell, and others for
further notifications Of the measure,
while the press and people generally
are giving expression to sentiments of
extreme disgust at the feebleness dis
servatives admit that If it were not
for the hopeless divisions that exist
between the Liberals and Radicals, the
government would be in a serious
plight. T. p. O'Connor, discussing this
subject in his paper, the Sun, writes
'The plain truth is, that, though Mr..
Russell was the outward and visible
agent Of this collapse, the whole affair
was a personal triumph for Mr.. Cham
herlain and the landlord ring The
ca abinet would have paid little atten-
ton to Russell's protests. as, with their
large majority in the house Of COM
mons, they could easily afford to dis
regard the clamor of few Ulster men,
But Balfour who would smile at the
idea Of being disconnected by Russell,
retires from the list before salaried
official. AS Joe cannot afford to lose
a supporter, he has cunningly seized
the chance to assert himself and his
friends and to humilate the house Of
Cecil"
