BIsBEE, Nov. 24, 1896. coPPkRINSs.

Mr. Hazlewood and Miss Alice Lemon who has been over from Pearce for several days past left this morning for their homes. They went by team and took . piano with them.
 The weather today has been ex- uemely windy. A cold raw wind hss been blowing and we have alse had number of showers. It is stll very inclemeut, and the entertainment which was to have been given by the school childrsd this evening has been postponed until come time next week The ladies of the Woodmen circle are praying their very best for weather to- morrow, and that calico ball is . go il any where within the range Ot pos sibilitios.
 The close observer of the town, hav- ing noticed the large number of e1ul- tsnt but sleepy looking woodmep about town during the day, have come to the conclusion that there must have been something going on last night oi which they were not informed. Strange to say, they are entirely right in their surmises. for the members oi Warren Camp No. 9, surely had one of the most enjoyable surprises that has fallen to their let eince their lodge was organized.
 h answer to notices which were sent out for special meeting of the Woodmen last evening, a good major ity of the members assembled at the rink, imbued with the idea of tiuish- ing their work as soon ss possible and getting little sleep ahead before that calico ball came of. The ladies of of Queen Grove No. : of the auxiliary, however, had somewhat differe,.t idea of things and proceeded to carry out a little scheme which they have had on hand for some time. They heard of the fac, that the Woodmen were to call d special meet ing scme days ago and immediately got together snd determined to sur prise their so-called brothers. Accord- iugly they made all necessary prrpara- ton, and last evenIrg when tbeWood- men were in the midst Of some of their heavy deliberations they almost took the meeting place by storm. The men hardly knew how to take the intrusion at frs, but when they cav the steam ing coffee and numerous dsinties with which their visitors were laden. they concluded that mission was one Of peace and allowed them 10 take possession of the anti-room while they rushed through the balance of their business.
 This once out of the way the meet ing hastily adjourned and all hands united jolly social luncheon and a 6cHciei SOOu tiihe. cibeab . ou3 onht- ing were kept up until quite a late hour and il was unanimously agreed that the lodge was indebted to tine ladies for one of the best times they have ever had.
 We, ourselves, had but one kick coming the entire evening and tine { was at the way Jim Jones and Mir. Louis Brown stsid with the coffee. They frozs us, aud one or two other modest young men, out completely and we think their actions might well be subdued little on the next occs- sion Of the kind. We are not kicker but we don't like to be left in the shade altogether.

A Dying Craze.

Tho failure of ex-Congressman Bland
Of Missouri to command an audience of
more than ono person in Savannah is
significant of the dying out Of the free
silver craze ut the south.
Mr.. Bland has been for many years
the most persistent and prominent cham
pion in congress of free end independent
coinage Of silver at RHO Of Is to l..
He was the father of the "Blund dol
lar" which the people refused to use,
but permitted to accumulate by the
hundreds of tons in the treasury vaults
He belonged to the school of statesmen
who disdained to consider the world 8
standard Of value and asked, "What is
abroad to us?' He asserted the olnnipo-
tence Of congress i'll the matter Of money
making, and insisted upon giving 100
cents of value to so cents worth Of sill.
yer by fiat Of that body.
Last year the voters Of Missouri con-
cluded that they had had enough Of Mr..
Bland and his vagary, and they left him
at home. Now he takes to the lecture

that Erick johnson, in several
places around the city, has threat

was put under bonds. Nearly every

grievance against this Erick John

court, and not by cowardly. brutal

JERRY SIMPSONS PLAN.


Would Issue Certificates ASA1nst the 6il.
ver In NJ Mountains.
When tho sookless statesman of Kan
Gas first visited New York city, he went
with friend to the United States sub
treasury in Wall street. They were
shown through tho vaults In which part
Of the governments money Is stored
and finally reached room in which
thousands Of big bags Of silver dollars
were piled ceiling high. Looking at tho
great heap of useless metal, the Medicine
Lodge financier turned to the United
States subtreasurer and asked: "Why
could not silver certificates b. issued
just as we'll on the silver in the hills? It
would save the country all the expense
of mining the ore, smelling and refining
it and coming it into dollars think it
is great waste Of labor to dig all that
silver out of one hole and cut it up into
little pieces just to bring 1t here and
dump it down into another hole"
Ridiculous US is the idea OF paper our
rency based on silver in the rocks, it is
more sensible than the free coinage ut
l8 to ! plan. The silverites propose to
compel the government to coin into legal
tender dollars all the silver which may
be brought to the minis. As the country
has already far more silver dollars than
can be used in business, it would be nee
essary to issue certificates which would
pass as currency. So that the govern
ment would be practically buying all
the silver offered it at price nearly
double its market value.
Tho silver mine owners and their
agents ridiculed Congressman Simpsons
cheap money scheme. But wild as his
plan was it did not involve the repudia
ton of just debts or the debasement Of
the standard Of value, as did theirs.
Silverites who laugh at the notion Of
using the Rocky mountains as basis
for currency are really condemning
their own theory. Sensible people who
believe in honest money want neither
certificates based on silver ore nor on pig
silver. Either would mean a great an
nual loss through the wasteful employ
ment of labor which ought to be en-
gagged in producing useful articles.

Church.

The members Of the German
American Catholic Oh urch Of this city
have been for several years DESTROYS

However. that the end to which
they have been laboring will soon bt

reasonable DOUBT, rs the plans, with
but few exceptions; have been ar
ranged and the work will he begun
in the spring.
When the building Of the school
was first com ten plated several years
ago, a lot for that purpose was pur'
chased in the same block in which
the church stands. and 1t IL ON this
lot that the building, which now
seems certain Ut erection. will he

The building is estimated to cost
ABOUT $4,000. and it is said that the
amount has been fully subscribed by

LEES RESIGNATION.
n Thought that He Hae Polit-
zeal MISUNDERSTANDING
First.

Commenting on the announcement
that Hon. VIM. f. Lee had resigned
his position as superintendent of the
st. Cloud refOrmatOry the Journal
Press says:
"This statement comes to a great
surprise to even MIR. Lees most in
innate friends in st. Cloud. He
came to the reformatnry as the sue
cessor to Superintendent D. E. Myers
a year ago last June, since which
time he has Mustered the affairs
of his institution with great execu-
tive ability and in a manner which
reflected upon himself only the
greatest credit. Particularly was
his capability shown in the manage
ment of the fin tncies CT the institu'
ton. and he has reduced to a
marked degree the cost OF running
the reformatory. His genial person
atty has impressed itself upon all
with whom he came in contact, and
there is not man connected with
the institution, whether as an en-
ploye or an inmate, who does not
swear by the superintendent. In
business and social circles of the city
lie has also won for himself an en-
viable position. His recognized
knowledge of sociology has repeat
edly called him to platform ana pull
pit and in this manner has he en-
throned himself in the confidence
and esteem of the community.
Prior to his coming to the REFORM
atory, Mr.. Lee had attained such
prominence in political matters in
his district and in the state, that the
first thought that will enter the
minds of the politicians will be that
he is u candidate for some position
in the gift Of the people. This is I'M
derstuOd as not the case-Or at all
events, is not the ruling cause of his

MUST HIVE TROUBLE.
n Guess at Why the Council
Exerted Itself for
Record"

The superstition that the council
felt Inundated by the lack of friction
bet wecn the city and Electric 4
Water company, and realized need
of some trouble, We're the causes OF
the rank action Monday evening is
sustained by many observers. For
months you couldn't tell by any
vote or action Oil the council that
Martin, Mopglein and Mecusker were
making it. their object on the council
to defend the city from the awful
plans OF the company. To be sure,
early last yea, they made a few
moves toward delaying payment on
bills because few hydrants were
frozen. hut finally when the breaks
had been repaired an adjustment
was made between the city and com
pany that was not opposed by any
aldermen. Since then nothing had
come up to show how steadtast
their opposition to the company
was, and in the natural course Of
events it looked as Though the next
election would be reached. with
nothing to distinguish them from
other aldermen as far as treatn'e Mt
of the company was concerned.
That, of course, would he disnp-
pointing. II an avOwed opponent
OF the Electric & Water company
treated the cOmpany's bills and con-
tracts Just the same IA an alderman
who didn't have such lofty motive
as a public servant, where was the
most valuable municipal issue at?
Clearly, trouble of some kind was
needed, and saddest to relate, there
was no way to get it but to create
it. The trouble must also be such
that it couldn't be adjusted prompt
ly with the company, because an
adjustment would weaken the
strength of an issue in Il crusade
against the company. The only
thing in sight that offered tope was
a move to annul all contracts and
resolutions. It is not probable that
three cOuncilmen expected to be able
to accomplish any direct results
but they could show their manly in
dependence OF Il corporation that
had with malice afOrethOught
obeyed the orders Of the city govern
1nent, and provided light and water
for the city.
The urgent need for such cOnten-
ton had possibly as much effect as
the influence of Svengali Trebby.
