ChaT OF the Campaign.

There was never yet a political cam
paign but that some comical stories were
told and THE CHRONICLE can vouch for
the truth of the following:
The other day a well known rancher
with stump leg drove into Hood River
and he was whooping it up for Bryan.
In the exumberance of his joy, he
dash board and waved it to an admiring
crowd as he crowed for his champion.
A grizzled veteran across the street was
sitting on a chair reading the Oregonian,
his feet on a level with his head, and
resting against lamp post. Down came
the fore legs of his chair with a jar that
shook the sidewalk, and over the top of
the paper peered the stern gray eyes,
which snapped their Indignation through
the glasses, as he shouted "That's night,
you poor fool, shout for the party that
cut your leg off"
Sheriff Driver was puzzled the other
day to make out whether a man was
crazy or just playing it. He had about
decided that his mind was al right,
when he CHANGED to ask him who he was
going to vote for. Bryan" said the
poor fellow. "Crazy as LOOM" was
Drivers next comment. He sent for a
physician to make the examination, and
sure enough the fellow was found to be
non compos mentis. He is in Salem now. /.
County Clerk Kelsay, is Republican
ever ready so champion Republican
principles. He was never knocked
out" until the other day when talking to
a Populist who was shouting for the re-
storation of the silver dollar, Kelsay
asked him to explain himself. What
did he mean by "restore."
"Well,' said the Pop, suppose I take
10 bushels of potatoes out of my celler.
and the next day put them back.
Amt that restoring them?" Kelsey
was speechless.

And Natures most beautiful produc- tion-loyely woman-calls the aid of art to improve her own loyeliness by the skill and taste of the modiste and milliner.

4 New Enterprise.

An enterprise which is likely to be developed On q very extensive scale has just been started in NOgales. Gdtierez x Barona who formerly owned a cigar factory on Calle Elias, No gales, Sonora, have sold out to Messrs. COlledge and R. J. Fernandez of Chi cago. The latter named gentlemen have moved the establishment to h. ternatiOnal street a few doors from the Gem Saloon, and they have com menced to manufacture a brand Of cigars which is certain to grow in favor with those who appreciate cool, sweet, delicious smoke. MT. Fernan- dez is a Cuban by birth, and is one of the most expert cigar makers the lever faithful islcr has produced. He was for many years superintendent of Browns cigar factory at Detroit, Michigan, and also held similar po- sition in a large Chicago factory. MT. Fernandez says that all their cigars will be made from imported tobacco and that he has had shipped tobacco from Vera Cruz. Havana, ,Sumatra and Vuelta Abajo. In couple of weeks he expects to have twenty or thirty cigar makers at work in the factory. The firm will make speciality of the box trade and the Nogales lovers of weed now have an excellent chance to buy good box of cigars at reason able price.

Mrs. Johns Lecture.

Friday evening of last week the Con- gregational church at Nogales was filled with decidedly interested and appreciatiye audience who were pleased with the able and eloquent address upon womens suffrage by Mrs
 Laura NJ. JChns of Kansas, and charmed by the lecturer The line of argument followed by the lady was unique and original, being a presenta- tion of the numerous disabilities un- der which women have labored in all the states from operation of the com mon law; and which have been abro- gated or modified by statute enact- ments in but few of the states. Some of the instances she gave were really heartrendng. Then were recounted the slow processes of amelioration, re- peated attempts and failures, gradual, step at time alterations in the laws, by which their modification had been effected in few of the states; and how in Colorado and Wyoming the necessary statutes protecting homes and womanhood quickly found places in the statute book as soon as woman
 yielded the ballot. This led to the irresistible conclusion that justice to womanhood and childhood demands the ballot for woman in all the states; and the lecture ended in an appeal to the women of Arizona to work to secure it now in the transition period

Articles of Incorporation of the h. ternational Pacific railway company were iiledwlth the Kansas secretary of state at Topeka, Wednesday,. The pur- pose of the organization is to construct a single or double track railway from Guaymas, on the Gulf of California, in Sonora, Mexico, northeast 1l5 miles, to Barranca. The road will be tribu- tary to the mines in Sonora and Chi huahua, which it proposes to develop. The charter also provides for building line north to the boundary line of Mexico and the United States at Bis bee. Arizona, and on to a connection with the Atchison and Southern Pacific at or west of Deming. N M
 The mines in the Sierra Madre mountains are very rich, but owing to the fact that they are Inaccessible, little is known of them. The famous 'Boss Shepherd mine is in the dis trict. H. r. Richards, who is one Of the promoters of the enterprise, was formerly assistant general manager of the Sonora railway, branch of the Atchison system, for several years and is personally familiar with the re- sources of Sonora.

 All over the state there are local efforts to prospect that are meeting with success. Since tie Apache- dis appeared it is safe to live anywhere. Gold mines have been receiving att tentlon and they are found all over the state, especially in the Altar dis trlct, where so many well known old gold mines have been known to exist. With the certainty of saving nearly all the gold by using the bi-products, as in South Africa and other parts of the world many new efforts have been made. Notable among the new acqui- sitions of Altar, of late is the work started by El plomo, or Mexican Ma tional Development Company d wealthy corporation of Chicago, that argues progress for that section. This year, if times improve in the United States, we will witness, believe, the formation of new companies on pros pected mines that will swell the out put of the precious metals wonder fully.
