Mckinley In The Lead.

Notwithstanding the misrepresentation
of the partisan press, the Mckinley boom
is steadily growing in strength. His OPP
ponents are becoming frantic and new
for comprising his defeat are be-
ing carefully considered. One of these
schemes is the multiplicity of candidates.
With Morton taking away the - votes Of
New York, Quay controlling the 81 votes
of Pennsylvania, Allison backed by the 26
votes of Iowa, Senator Cullom holding the
48 votes of Illinois, Senator Davis the Is
votes Of Minnesota, ex-senator Mander-
son the 16 votes of Nebraska and Elkin:
the II votes of West Virginia, the oppo
nents of Mckinley hope to arrange deal
at ST. Louis which will enable them to Sc
lect another candidate.
A dispatch from Washington says:
1t is conceded that he is likely to go int,
the convention with 800 delegates at th,
start. unless the great states of the nortl
can be taken away from him by the pre-
sentation of favorite sons. His support ma,
lack somewhat in enthusiasm as compare,
with that of Speaker Reed, and if it can b
shut up to the southern delegates and thos
from the mining states, it will embody ele
ments of weakness which will aid the sup
porters of other candidates in defeating
Mckinley. The situation is admitted b,
the best friends of Mr.. Reed and Gov
Morton to be grave one for their candi
dates. and some lively hustling is likely t
take place between the present date an
the selection of delegates.
1t is estimated that there will be 81
votes in the convention. Present indie:
tions are that Mckinley will go into tn
convention with long lead, and some al
SO enthusiastic as to say he will be nom
mated on the first ballot, but this is hardl
possible.

but the mere notification of Mr.. Fits and

now preparing for the division next fall in

If they parcel out the Offices in 1900 and

That there is some relation between hard
times and the prevalence of crime few will
deny. During the past three years there
has been steady increase in the number
of murders as the following figures show:
1898, murders $500; 1894, murders $500;
1895, murders 10,500. Both homicides
and suicides have increased about so per
cent during our period of hard times

COLOR OF WOMEN'S EYES.
The Mere Question of Pigment Has Set
 tied Many a Mans Fate.


 tied Many a Mans Fate.
 Did you evernotice that men always lnstinctively put confidence in girl with blue eyes, and have their sus- picions of the girl with brilliant black ones, and will you kindly tell me why? asks writer in the Ladies' Home Jour- nal. Is it that the limpid blue eye, transparent and gentle, suggests all the soft, womanly virtues, and because he thinks he can see through it, clear down into that blue-eyed girls soul, that she is the kind of girl he fancies she is? l think it is, but some of the greatest little frauds 1 know are the purry, kitteny girls with the big inno- cent blue eyes. Blazing black eyes, and the rich, warm colors, which dark skinned women have to wear suggest energy and brilliance and no end of intellect. Men look into such eyes and seem not to be able to see below the surface. They have not the pleasure of long, deep gaze into immeasurable depths. And so they think her design ing and clever, and, perhaps God save the markD, even intellectual, when, perhaps, she has wealth of love and de- votion and heroism stored up behind that impulsive disposition and those dazzling black eyes, which would do and dare more in a minute for some man she had set that great heart of hers upon. than your cold blomied, tranquil blond would do in 40 years. A mere question of pigment in the eye has set tied many a, mans fate in life, and es- tablished him with a wife who turned out to be very different from the girl he fondly thought he was getting.

THAT TEA WAR AGAIN.

"This means war against colored tea; and colored tea-though it is re- ceived and sold in great quantities by San Francisco merchants, and so gives importance to this city as a tea-dis- tributing center-colored tea is not good for the permanent commercial in- terests of this port. For as soon as tea-drinkers find out that colored tea is injurious, pure tea is sure to take its place. San Francisco Journal of Com merce.
 whatever may pay in the short run, truth is mighty and will prevail"
 One is inclined to doubt the state ments of dvertisements-eyen when they are backed by a thousand-dollar guarantee and "money-back" on the goods sold-but when the Journal of Commerce takes up a matter like this. 1t Is worth listening to.
 We, the undersigned merchants of Phoenix, Ariz., do hereby agree and bind ourselves together to close our stores and stop the sale of goods in our respective lines at 7 o'clock p. m. sharp until November 1, with the exception of Saturday night, and not open for the sale Of goods (except for funeral pur- poses) after p. m. during this period.
 This agreement is to be in effect and become binding when all merchants in their respective lines have signed and public notice be given for five days in the daily papers of Phoenix, also the weekly papers of Tempe and Mesa, Arizona
 This agreement to become null and void provided all the merchants in their respective lines do not agree and bind themselves by signatures, or pro- Vlded that any signer does not keen this agreement in good faith.

COLE GIVES UP OFFICE No Further Contest Is
 Made. FormaIities Lacking in the
 Transfer. The Valley Bank Becomes the Ter aitorial Repository-Cash
 on Hand.

The territorial treasury is now in the hands of Treasurer Thomas B. Parish. The trouble half anticipated for yester- day morning did not come and at half past one treasurer Parish took the cer- tified check of ex-Treasurer P. J. Cole upon the Phoenix National bank for the sum of $115, 5,S12 and exchanged for it his receipt, the books of the office at the same time being turned over to him. There was no checking up of accounts and no counting of cash and the transfer was done within very few minutes. To the amount sur rendered, as yet assets of the territory, must be added $3O,O0O expressed the day before for New York, there to be paid out on interest account, making a total amount "on hand of $145,812
 The future repository of the terri torial funds will be the Valley bank of Phoenix, whence the funds were taken on the assumption of office by Territorial Treasurer Fleming.
 At least $S6,000 of the funds will be paid out in the next few days under the decision of Judge Baker. Little of this great amount is held locally, how 0NSl, duu US TS6uSuI VIII nave little effect except in stopping the in terest on the warrants cancelled, some of them being now aged three years, in which time the territory has paid thirty per cent of interest upon them. The farther sum of $18,O0O is also due to be paid on interest account
 The funds were not transferred, and will probably be taken over in some quiet time and with total lack of os- tentation
 Ex-Treasurer Cole, when seen yes- terday afternoon by a Republican re- porter, was philosophical over the turn affairs had taken to his disadvantage, and while admitting that he would have wished to hold on to the office, said he knew of no better time than the present in which to let go. The books were balanced up to the first of the month and the cash called for was on hand. He expressed himself as grateful to Judge Baker for allowing him time in which to balance the books, but time was not needed. The books have been kept balanced and the first day of the fiscal year could not be improved upon as a date for both entering and quitting business and of- flee.

DOCTOR HAMBLIN RETIRES.
The Insane Asylum Now Has Hughes
 as Superintendent.

Yesterday morning the territorial insane asylum was formally turned over by Dr. Hamblin to its new super intendent, Dr, H. A. Hughes.
 To start with the following changes were made in the personnel of the asy- lum staff: Succeeding Steward Hack cit is J. A. Vinson, one of the valleys pioneers. AS farmer was appointed L. V. Rosseau. Frank Briggs is the new night watchman. Miss Eccles will be the matron, and Mrs. Vinson and Miss Buford will have charge of the women's ward. Other attendants appointed are Frank Reed and Joseph Singleton.
 The change was accompanied with no friction whatever.
 Within few days Dr. Hughes will move his family to the asylum, and will henceforth turn over his large practice in Phoenix to his well-es- teemed partner, Dr. Dameron.
 During the afternoon Governor Franklin, Auditor Leitch and T. J. Wolfey, constituting the board of con- trol, drove out to the asylum inspect ing the premises, with a view to i'm provements in management and to a

 THE CASTLE CREEK ROAD.
A Part of It Has Been Placed in Ex
 ceIlent Condition

H. Simkins returned yesterday from the Castle Creek road in the northern part of the county, where he has been placing the old and celebrated thor oughfare in excellent condition. He has been at work for three weeks with a gang of men and now there are few better thoroughfares in the county than this so generally maligned. But this condition is only for the portion that lies within Maricopa county. Beyond into Yavapai county the road is still like one of the pathways by Dante de scribed. Once a toll road was estab- lished on the Yavapai side and com- pany of Phoenix men kept the road in fine shape But their investment was taxed by Yavapai county in the sum of $700 per annum and after a severe flood the road was abandoned to the mercies of the county. But Yavapai county never put a pick or shovel at work on the Castle Creek road for in the days of it's glory 1t was the high way through which descended to Phoe- nix the greater portion of the trade of the inter-mountain Bradshaw region. Of course Prescott lost the trade that Phoenix gained. It is probable that the Prescott merchants would block up the road entirely if chance were given.
 Still the miners of the region about Minnehaha Flat are determined to come to Phoenix for supplies and Freighter Marsh is one of dozen who make their livelihood by hauling great loads of supplies from this point north ward. Marsh leaves today with 10000 pounds of general freight, most of it for the Crowned King mine and it is anticipated that all the former traffic will be again diverted to this place.

HARD TUSSLE WITH BRUlN.
Oregon Hunter Attacks Bear with an
 Ordinary Jackknife.


 Ordinary Jackknife.
 J. C. Hearing, who was hunting and trapping in the Blue mountains, few niles west of Elgin, met with a little ad- venture with bear recently that might have proved rather serious to him had Il not been for the intervention of one of his dogs, says the Portland Cregonlan. lie was engaged in setting traps, and as he had considerable weight to carry he had no weapon with him except jack knife, and on his rounds his dogs dis covered the winter quarters of bear in a. big hollow tree. The bear was at home, and was pretty much alive, as sub- sequent events proved. As bear belts are quite valuable, Jake was quite anxious to secure this one, but was afraid that i1t he went to camp, mile and half dis tant, bruin would escape, so he dashed lis poclletknife to the end of a stick and attempted to cut the animals throat. He only succeeded in inficting some pain ful flesh wounds, which so enraged the brute that it suddenly came out of its uOle, dHu NdS dlluoSt oH HllIi "Hch oH@ of his dogs made sudden onslaught on the animals rear, which diverted his attention long enough to enable Jake to dodge behind a tree, and the dogs soon made it so tropical for the bear that it was glad to take refuge in tree, where they kept it until gun was procured from camp, when the animal was quickly dispatched

 tending to it, for already the shop is doing a splendid trade. A master me chanic himself, MT. Graf employs none but competent and obliging workmen
