BIG-HEARTED HEINTZ.

Secretary HeintZ, of the executive committee of the national irrigation congress, did manly thing during the session of the congress in this city. He had received from Los Angeles a large bouquet ofsslovely carnations which were greatly admired by all the delegates and particularly the numer- ous ladies in the hall. many of whom requested small, bouI-e from him. Mr. Heintz, though remarkably chiv- alrous, refused to part with his flow CTS until an old lady entering the room stopped to admire them and walked to her seat with the remark that. she had never before seen such lovely flowers. She did not ask for them, but MT. HeintZ saw how greatly she admired them, and as he knew she was from the frozen east, he fol- lowed her to her seat and in his most favor him by accepting the bouquet which she did, while the tears gath cred in her eyes, She asked to whom she was indebted for the kindness, and MT Heintz said: "To the makers o1 the flowers"
 This act of MT. Heintz was ob. served by a number of the delegates present, who, when the opportunity
 presented, expressed their apprecia
 tion of his kindness to the old lady and thanked him heartily The act showed the inherent qualities of the
 California editor.

GOOD TEMPLARS ENTERTAIN.

A public meeting will be held in the Creighton school house, north of the asylum, on next Saturday night, under the auspices of the district lodge of Good Templars. Speakers will go out from Phoenix and music will be fur nished by the visitors.
 Garden Valley lodge had an attend ance of siXty-five last Monday night During the good of the order pro- gramme the doors were thrown open and several of the members invited in to enjoy the exercises, which were in charge of Mrs. Phillips.
 The most novel part of the pro- gramme was a smelling contest, which created much merriment. Six bottles were ranged along on a table the members were required to file past and smell of each, and then write on a slip of paper, after returning to theil seats, their guesses as to the contents of the bottles. There were only seven who guessed five bottles correctly and not one got the six. But this is not surprising when it is known that one of them contained whisky.
 Tomorrow night friends of the mem bers will be admitted to enjoy the programme, which will be conducted by Forrest B. Payne.
 It is reported that the juvenile temple will give an entertainment il | the near future.

Stories have been told of horses With

been written of the FecuIia1jties of the

of New Jersey, whose banyan whiskers
were recently described and illustra red.

Col. Briggs, lis that my horse is

wonder of all that section of New .jer-

octagoral in shape and are in heavy
leather frames, which are strapped to
the side straps of the bride. They are
SO adjusted that the animal gets a
perfect vision while looking ahead or
sideways. When first put on they
opened up such an unexpected vista
that the mule backed into well and
had to be hauled out with a derrick.

HONEST CITIZENSHIP.

No man can afford to and no true
citizen should desire to- vote other
than his true sentiment on the third
OF next month. The question of
states rights, advocated in the DEM
ocratic platform, the proposed un-
limited coinage of silver under cir
cumstances which the thinking men
in Bryan's own party admit will
drive gold to a premium, and there
fore out of circulation, are matters
too serious to be trified with. The
most careful estimates indicate that
Bryan will be badly defeated, and
if party selfshness, the basest of mo-
tives, could excuse a voter in voting
contrary to his Conscientious convic-
tions, there is therefore nought to be
gained by so voting this year.
In Oregon, as in many states, tie
effort to force large body to vote
contrary to their conviction, is now
made. Outside of the free coinage
of silver, the policies of the Demo-
cratic and Populist parties are, and
always have been, directly in con-
fiict But the Populist voter of Ore
gon can vote his sentiments only by
voting against government control ol
the telegraph, railroads and other
ideas fundamental to Populism.
Every silver Democrat in order to
vote his sentiments, must vote fer a
Populist for vice-presldent; in other
words, fusion between parties so
widely differing is indefensible upon
any grounds.
Mr.. Watson has discovered the
true situation and does not hesitate
to denounce the whole scheme as a
plan to make a foot mat of the Pop
ulists to assist the Democratic Office
seekers to the pie counter. 1t is
useless for Senator Butler and Others
like him, who are hungry for official
pap, to appeal to the Populists 10
stand by Bryan. Honest Populists
cannot and will not thus be sold and
traded for. Fusion seldom sue
ceeds; it ought not to succeed, and
it will not now. 1t is directly con-
trary to every principle of honest
citizenship.
There is no Democratic ticket
there is no Populist ticket, SO far a:
Bryan is concerned.

Brother Bryan quotes scripture as
readily as the tempter of the Savior
of mankind, but he has overlooked
one or two passages: ''He that low,
eth silver shall not be satisfied with
silver; nor he that loveth abundance
with increase. This is also vanity. =

dross; thy wine mixed with water

the other day by a Judge in a court of

An action for damages was brought by
two persons against the local railway
company for losses sustained by a col

assessed the damages thus: He gave
5000 piasters to the man for the loss of
his arm and 1000 to the woman for the
loss OF her husband At this there
were loud murmurs. whereupon the
judge gave his reasons in these terms:
MY dear people. my verdict must re-
main, for you will see that IL is a Just
one. Poor Nikola has lost his arm and
nothing on earth can restore that
priceless limb. But you" turning to
the woman, you are still young and
pretty. You now have some money:
you will easily find another husband.

is my verdict. my people. and so il

left the hall. The people cheered him
and congratulated themselves on hav-
ing such a Judge.
