UNJUST CHARGES.

"The Gazette is in hope that the
next Arizona legislature will give
heed to the growingdemands Of the
taxpayers of Arizona and enact a
law governing freights and fares.
The people of this territory for
years have petitioned and prayed
for the Legislature to pass such a
law, one that is equitable and just
to both the railroads and the
people but we need law that will
make it possible for the farmers
and the fruit growers to ship their
products from one portion of
Arizona to another. AS an
illustration of the unfairness of the
present charges we cite the town of
Flagstaff. This season watermelons
were on sale there at the out
ragous prices Of rs cents to S1.00
piece, while here in Phoenix fine
large luscious melons were on sale
for five cents; yet our fruitmen
could not ship them to that little
town within our own territory and
sell them for less than the quota
tions above named. The law
ought to deal not only with freight
and fares but with Wells Fago &
Co., the most rascally, thieving out
fit in all the United States. The
railroad lines within our territory
by this unjust discrimination in
frvor of California, shut our pro-
ducts out of our own markets.
The Gazette will continue to keep
this question before the people and
hopes that the Democratic party
will give it attention in their terri
total and county platforms"
The above from the Gazette is
timely and should be needed by all
conventions throughout the Terri
tory, and after the election the
Legislature will not fail to do its
duty.

South Dakota Mixed.

The Lead City Tribune of Wednes-
day afternoon says: kilograms were
received in Deadwood late last night
stating that the lowest elector on the
republican ticket had a majority of
256 votes; that the returns were all in
and tabulated and that the state and
congressional ticket had still larger
majority-all of whicn insures the
election of the entire republican ticket
in this state.
The conflicting reports from various
points in the eastern parts of the state
in regard to the result of the election
in South Dakota are exasperating. No
sooner are we informed by the Lead
Tribune of Wednesday that the repub-
lican ticket is safe by 256 majority
than the Sioux City Journal of the 11th
inst, brings the discouraging intelli-
gence that Bryan has carried the state
by 100 majority and that the pop gov
ernor has been elected. It is generally
agreed, however, that the two repub-
lican congressman and the balance of
the republican state ticket are elected.

1t is evident that the Il. ts NJ. railroad
vote went fully % per cent for the
Bryan electors and populist state aud
county tickets everywhere along the
line, and there can he no disputing the
fact that the men acted upon Bryan's
advice to wear Mckinley badges, join
Mckinley clubs, howl for Mckinley,
represent themselves as Mckinley men
and then vote for Bryan. This is all
right; it is politics and nobody COM
plains, nobody has right to complain.
We are informed that at Alliance there
was one ward that had 15O railroad EN-.
ployes and eight other citizens. The
railroad boys belonged to Mckinley
clubs and marched in Mckinley pro-
cessions. The republican campaign
managers confidently expected at least
LAO votes in the ward. To their sur
prise the vote of the ward was Bryan
$50, Mckinley 8. Tho boys worked the
game pretty smoothly and the laugh is
on the epublicans.-Deadwo Times.

New Law Firm.

j. F. McClung has entered into CO.
partnership with E. r. Juckett, county
judge elect of this county. The new
firm starts out in good shape as both
gentlemen are we'll known throughout
this county and the Black Hills. Hon.
j. F. McClung who has resided in this
city for some years, is man who has
made for himself name for honesty
and integrity that is second to none.
1t was hoped that he would make Edge
mont his future home and give his
special efforts to the up-building of the
city, to which he has always done his
utmost, but the firm to which he has
allied himself, needed a man of his
sterling ability and rustling powers,
and he has severed his connection with
this city. Our loss is their gain and
the new firm has the best wishes of the
Express and host of friends here who
will wish the members every success in
their undertakings. Any citizen who
has legal business to transact cannot
do better than intrust it to this firm
Edgemont Express.
1t is with pleasure that we learn of
the intention of Mr.. McClung to locate
in Hot Springs. The STAR can testify
to his ability and integrity and be-
speaks for the new firm a liberal share
of the legal business of the southern

suit of the election after all. While
the county has gone popocratic on the
head of the ticket, for representa-
tive and state senator, and for two of the

official canvass of the vote of the county

candidates for treasurer,

but Geo. w. Dennis, of Union town

There Is something so inexpressibly
painful in the contemplation of a
woman falling from virtue, ayoung and
beautiful and high-minded girl yield
ingup the one priceless jewelof woman
hood that one closes "The Juggernaut
of the Moderns," Rosa Hudspeth's new
novel from the press of the Arena Pub
fishing Co. of Boston, with the feeling
that such things cannot, must not be.
1t is story that goes right to the heart
of things, laying bare, with unfaltering
courage, the injustice of the popular
verdict as regards the morals of men
and women. 1t is a terrible arraign-
ment of the society of the present day
which receives into its charmed circle
the man who is debased and utterly
ignoble and which turns bitterly upon
the woman who has been tempted be-
yond her strength.
Something of thepurpose of the book
may be caught from the preface which
is as follows: "If the following story
does not teach men lesson in self
control and women finer sense of
justice toward their fellow-women, it
will fail in its mission" The book is
dedicated to Des Moines woman, DIR.
Lucy M. Busenbark, in the following
appreciative words: ITO my best friend:
A woman whose knowledge of life has
taught her noble generosity, and a
Christ-like justice which takes no cog
nizance of sex or caste;a a woman brave,
broad minded and pure, who recognizes
but one standard of morals for women
and for men, in practice as in theory;
a woman who is not afraid to speak to
or to aid fellow-sister upon whose
brow the world has set it's seal of con-
demnation."-Des Moines Daily News.
Miss Hudspethis is a ayoungDes Moines
woman whose opening career as nov-
elist will awaken deep interest. We
believe she was at one time stenogra-
pher in Hot Springs. The scene is
laid in South Dakota, and the last
chapter of the decidedly interesting
book contains q picture of the town of
Hot Springs at sunset.

Probable Legislation.

The cattle men of the Black Hills
counties expect some legislation in their
interest and for their protection at the
hands of the legislature the coming
winter. 1t is alleged by cattle men
that some legislation is needed requir-
ing sheep men to keep their tlocks
within certain prescribed districts and
not allow them to be herded indiscrim-
inately i'll any part of the free range
district regardless of the cattle inter
ests of the country. 1t is a we'll known
fact that cattle and horses will not
Craze on land previously fed over by
sheep. 1t is said that the sheep men
of the county are not averse to legis-
lation of this sort SO long AS liberal
allowance of grazing land contiguous
to their ranches is made. The meas.
ure isintended more particularlya as pro-
lection against transient sheep brought
in for few months feeding every year
from Nebraska and Wyoming. Another
measure of great Importance not only
to those engaged in stock raising but
to every taxpayer in the county is a law
levying tax on every head of cattle
brought onto the range in this county,
regardless of the fact that such
stock might be brought in after the
time for making the regular general
assessment, or that the tax thereon
might have been paid in some other
state. Stockmen complain that large
tlocks and herds are brought into the
county from adjoining states after the
time for assessment has passed; that
such stock is allowed to Craze unmo-
Tested in all parts of the county, using
the best range to the detriment of resi-
dent stock men and that the stock is
driven back to the states from which it
came OF shipped to eastern markets
before the time for assessment again
arrives. This is obviously unjust and
unfair. If resident stockman pays
his proportion of the expenses of the
county he should assuredly be entitled
to more benefits and privileges than is "a
nonresident. If a non resident wishes
to enjoy tho advantages afforded by
the ranges of Fall River county he
should help bear the burden of taxation
in common with those who are making
their homes here and spending their
money among us.

Autographed in twelve colors, being q

cause of its excellence of design and
charm of color and tone. The size of
each of the four folding pages is 1O15
by 6 inches.
It is by far the best piece of color
work the Companion has ever offered
