SCHLATTER'S WANDERINGS.
Not Deemed Probable That He Cou, d
 Be Up in Kirkland Valley.

The story that Schlatter has been seen in Kirkland valley is not believed
 by those familiar with the lay of the land. The Healer was seen near Silver City a month ago. About a week thereafter he was reported on the San Francisco river, below Clifton, headed south, saying he was on his way to the mountains of Chihuahua, there to go into a monastic retirement. He was riding white horse, not mule, as has been reported from Kirkland valley. E. E. Kirkland is one of h mas r0- liable of men, but the question ST: e:. how could Schlatter With all his ..c- centricities and all his fame, have come across the breadth of Arizona, 300 miles in three weeks, without meeting with person to report his presence? It could not be possible, lest the craZed shoemaker were to have

Refused by the Grand
 Jury
Sharp Comment on Official
 Abuses.
The United States Grand Jury Re- celves It's Discharge for
 the Term.

The grand jury of the United States court for the Fourth district of Afi7 zona closed its session yesterday, hA session having been of decided brevIty. There had been anticipation of drastic measures from the jury in it's consid- eration of the Edmunds act cases, but printed, that liberal view was taken of this noted measure, formed origin ally to scourge the Mormons and lately used to whip the Gentiles The greats CT number of the eases were of minor
 importance.
 The report is as follows: ,s,
 We respectfully report that twenty two cases have been carefully consid- cred by us, involving the examination of sixty-fYe witnesses; that in sixteen
 of said cases indictments have been ordered, the remaining six being ig- nored; that of said cases eleven were
 for selling liquor to Indians, three for adultery, two for couDterfei ting, two for passing counterfeit money, one for murder, one for selling liquor without a license and one for grand larceny; The grand jury especially desires to call the attention Of this honorable
 court to the violation Of the so-cal1ed
 "Edmunds act" While 1t is our great
 desire to maintain in all purity and yigor the laws of the United States, we are, however, of the opinion that
 further prosecutions for such offenses should cease.
 For the most part the violators of this act are ignorant and vicious Mex ican classes who are not even citizens of the United States. The prosecu- tions are brought to satisfy family feGds and quarrels, and the officers l whose duty it is to bind over" these
 t:ulprits are ingari ahaS lookad upon i with suspicion and distrust.
 1 The condition of affairs at the In dian reservations and especially at l Yuma, as shown by the testimony of 1 numerous witnesse5,sis truly appa1l- Ing. Drunkenness and prostitution are
 of too frequent occurrence. The Mex | ican Coeopah Indian srFIla ws infeSt 1 the Yuma country. They are not nn-
 der the jurisdiction of any agent, and | thus carry on their corrupt and lawless
 practices without fear of arrest or mo- lestation.
 In conclusion, your grand jury takes
 pleasure in coinp,imentng the effl-
 ciency of the United States marshal's
 office and the vigorous and healthy
 manner in which it's business is con ducted.
 We wish in an especial manner also
 to testify to our thorough apprec.atioD 1 of the courteousness and high ability | of the United States district attorney. IR~a all ways and a all times the work | Of the United States officers command I ed our attention and respect. NJ. H. CALDERWOOD Foreman.

Born to hang" and every one of them has the hang" that distinguish es the well dressed wherever he is found. We are not speaking of crim- inals now, but of those remarkable summer suits on sale at Alkire's. There are not nearly so many as there was, for Alkire's buyers did not know that they would be such takers in Arizona, although these same goods have been a fad for some time at the fashionable watering places of the east and in Eu- rope. Since the first announcement regarding them was made the stock has been reduced fully one-half and the supply of summer coats and vests has shrunk nearly as rapidly. These suits and garments are made of home spun linen and are coarse enough that the wearer gets the full benefit of any air that may be stirring. The color is unique and tasty and the goods wash as easily and successfully as muslin The prices on the whole line are so low that at least two suits can be pur- chased for less than half the price of the inevitable spring suit. Being well made, fits are not difficult and the wearer always looks neat, dressy and cool. If you don't want whole suit Alk:re's can accommodate you with 8 coat and vest and if everything is moi satisfactory they will most certainly make it so.

Foreman.

Secretary C. M. Heintz of the fifth the Rural Californian, of Los Angeles, is diligently engaged in booming the next session of the congress at Phoe- nix and carries half page advertise ment in his journal in fs interesi.
 Among other things interesting The Rural says of the coming congress:
 "The preliminary arrangements for holding the Fifth National Irrigation congress are now well under way The enterprising business men of Phoenix are taking hold with energy and judg- ment, backed by ample means to in sure great gathering of the cham pions of irrigation and the reclama- ton of the arid west. The national executive committee is also preparing a programme of rare interest and va riety, containing the names of some of the most prominent men, both at home and abroad, who will address the meet ing and read papers on timely sub jects. Questions dealing with legisls- tion and practical problems and of wide scope and application will be consid- cred. The friends of irrigation throughout the country should unite in making the Phoenix meeting rous- ing success

THE SUPREME COURT.
A Decision Rendered Against Cuban
 Filibusters.

WASHINGTON May 25.-Chief Jus tice Fuller today delivered an opinion in the supreme court in the case of the United States vs. J. s. Wiborg, captain of the steamer Horsa, and others. The case is one advanced by the court at the instance of the attorney-general for the purpose of our neutrality flaws and their effect in preventing filibus- tering expeditions against friendly powers. Wiborg and associates are accused of attempting to land arms surreptitiously in Cuba. They were found guilty under the neutrality laws by the United States court at Phila- delphia. Today's opinion upheld the decision of the Pennsylvania court.
 The supreme court adjourned till next October. No decision was an- nounced in the California irrigation cases.
 The supreme court today sustained the validity of the appropriations tG carry out the sugar bounty features 0! the Mckinley and Wilson tariff act by unanimous opinion affirming the decis- ion of the circuit court of the eastern district of Louisiana and reversing ths action of Comptroller of the Treasury Bowler, who refused to permit the pay ment of bounties on the ground the act was unconstitutional The cases in volved were those of the United States plaintiff in error, vs. the Realty con- pany and Andrew H.

 cisco.

Yuma Sentinel: We are informed that Francis Rossi, who spent several months here and who suddenly disap- peared one day last week, has written to friend from San Francisco, stat ing he is enjoying good health and will return in the near future and locate permanently in Yuma.
 Mir Rossi's disappearance caused much anxiety among the many friends he made during his visit among us and as he failed to inform any one of his contemplated departure for the above city, the rumor was soon current on our streets that he had drowned himself His friends secured the country here abouts for him for several days and his relatives in the above city were written, but not trace of him could be discovered.
 It is to be hoped that when he con- templates another trip he will make the same known to his friends and thereby save them and himself grea& deal of annoyance.

WEATHER IN TIE EAST Cyclones Sweeping Over
 Iowa. Many Lives Lost and Homes
 Destroyed. Terrific Weather In !lllnois-Cyclone In Oklahoma ana Heat In
 the West.

DIES MONIES, May 25-Last nights storm struck hard at Bondurant fifteen miles north of here. It is reported that twenty-fom persons were killed there.
 Va,eria, mining village, about six teen miles west of Newton, was nearly wiped out of existence by the cyclone last night Fourteen people were re- ported killed.
 Twenty-three people are reported dead as a result of the cyclone, which swept the northern part of Polk county last night at II o'clock. Tn towns afflicted are Bondurant, Valeria, San tiago and Ira. No telephonic or tele- graphic communication has been es- tablished except with Bondurant, which reports four deaths there in the Bailey family, with five of the same family seriously injured. Three of the Phalen family and Mrs. Schnell were killed at Valeria. At Santiago three were killed in the Rolenbaugh family. Between Valeria and Ira the death list is nine.
 A special train has been started from Des Moines with physicians on board.
 The storm is said to have swept along g the line of the Great Western from Bondurant to MarshalltoWn.
 A special from Elma, Iowa, says: "A terrific storm, cyclone in form. oc- cured here last night. Many build ings were unroofed and trees uprooted. Telegraph and telephone poles and wires were demolished, and numerous business fronts smashed in. The town is almost lake. No one was hurt. At Alta Vista a man was killed and two children hurt
 A Manchester, Iowa, special, says: The cyclone struck Manchester at 1 o'clock this morning leaving six or eight miles long in ruins. Mrs. Ira Howland and William Murray were seriously injured.
 The cyclone last night along the Chicago & Great Western railway, in Jasper county, killed probably twenty five persons. It injured more than that number The loss of property will exceed s1O00O0 Several miles of railroad track has been destroyed.

PROHIBITION HOPES.

PITISBURG, May 25.-As the time for the National prohibition convention appDoaced the prospect of a bitter fight over the money plank increases. Sam uel Dickie, chairman of the National central committee, said today that the adoption of a free silver plank will cost the party t0G,000 votes. On the other hand ex-Governor John P. St. John, of Kansas, says: If Mckinley is nomi- mated at St. Louis and the Democrats adopt a gold standard plank at Chi cago the prohibition candidates for president will stand a good chance of election, if we adopt free silver plank"

hidden in the daytime and travelled by night. Again Kirkland valley is a queer place to have made an appear ance. It is about 100 miles to the northwest of Phoenix and the only roads lead to Phoenix or to Prescott and the trails from the east, crossing the great Bradshaw chain, are not such as would be likely attempted by a stranger, lest, as Schlat tier says he is, a stranger divinely led. The story is improbable throughout.
