HORSE THIEVES CAPTURED.

An important arrest was made by
Sheriff Lydon Tuesday evening. A
band of valuable horses was stolen

man by the name of Helm, one of
the owners, suspicioned a brother
Eugene Helm, as one ofthe thieves.
The stock and several ,0enin charge

as last Sunday The stock and four
men and two women were finally
located near Juliaetta The thieves

SAD SCENE AT AN AUCTION.
" " hO bids ~

"Who bids?"
The auctioneer held up a child S
rocking horse, battered and stained.
1t had belonged to some little mem
Der of the mans family whose
household property was being sold
under the hammer.
He was utterly ruined. He had
given up everything in the world to
his creditors-house, furniture,
horses, stock of goods and lands
He stood among the crowd watching
the sale that was scattering his
household goods and his heirloom S
among hundred strange hands.
On his arm learned woman
heavily yelled.
"Who bids?"
The auctioneer held the rocking
horse high 50 that it might be seen.
Childish hands had torn away the
scanty name; the bride was twisted
and worn by tender little fingers.
The crowd was still.
The woman under the heavy veil
sobbed and stretched out her hands.
No, no, no." she cried.
The mans face was white with
emotion. The little form that once
so merrily rode the old rocking
horse had drifted away into the
world years ago. This was the
only relic of his happy infancy.
The auctioneer, with a queer
moisture in his eyes. handed the
rocking horse to the man without a
word and he and the yelled lady
hurried away.
The crowd murmured with sym
pathy.
The man and the woman went
into an empty room and set the
rocking horse down. He took out
his knife, ripped open the front OF
the horse and took out a roll OF

INAPT STATE MECHANICS.

State nicknames in this country
have begun to lose their aptness,
New Hamdshire name, the "Gran-
ite state" fits almost as well some
other mountainous states, and she
never really deserved to be called
the Switzerland of America, since
her mountains are but hills COM
pared with the mountains of Swift
erland. Several of the Rocky
mountoin states more nearly de-
serve this title. Colorado, for ex-
ample, has forty-one mountains
more than $4,000 feet high. and, in
all, 139 mountains more than 49,
500 feet high Colorado's own
name Of the Centennial state is one
that no other can ever dispute with
her, Though it looks as if Colorado
might dispute the name of Golden"
with California, says the New York
Herald.
Names forests are disappearing
SO rapid y that some Of the north
western states may soon have a
better title to the name, pine Tree
state" There are more famous
bays than that Of Massachusetts,,
and certainly Chesapeake bay, if
considered only as a body of water,
has more distinction than Massa-
and historically, the Ches-
apeake is quite as famous, so that
the name Bay state" might, with
aptness, be given to Maryland.
The Empire state" seems in
appropriate to any democratic COM
munity, but is appropriate to New
York. if to any state of the union,
and it is likely to be long while
before Texas even can lay claim to
the title. The name that Texas
takes pridein, "the Lone Star state
is certainly hers by right, as she
is the only state to lave come to
be an independent republic, totally
unconfederated with any other
state. Pennsylvania is no longer
the keystone of the unions arch,
just as it is no longer politically
true that as Pennsylvania goes, SO
goes the union. If Delaware ever
deserved her name Of the Diamond
state" she certainly cannot claim 1t
against Rhode Island, since the lat
ter is not only much smaller but,
as we'll, much richer.
No state disputes Virginia's pic
turesque name, the "Old Dominion"
though few people realize that it
dates back to time when our At
lantic coast knew only two defined
political divisions-New England
and Virginia. Ohio's buckeyes are
no longer distinguishing feature
of her rapidly disappearing wood
lands. Indiana is being civilized
out of her Hoosierdom, and the
wolverine must be pretty scarce in
the state to which the beast has
given a nickname.
Connecticut has learned so many
smart tricks since the traditional
wooden nutmegs that her neighbors
could easily discover an apter name
of reproach. Louisiana doubtless
has as many pelicans as Florida or
any other state, and so may we'll
hold to her nickname, while North
Car0linianS are nrnnnrly called tar

GEN. MANDERsON's CANDIDACY.
A Part of Mr. QunX's Plan for a Large
Field.

The announcement Of the candidacy Of
Ex-senator Henderson for the republican
presidential nomination is regarded by poll
ticans part Of Mr.. Quay's plan to have
as large a field Of candidates before the con-
vention as possible. Manderscn enjoys a
very wide popularity in his party. and his
candidacy is likely 10 be received with sat
isfactien III many quarters. II is believed
that he may develop considerable strength
outside his own state. But whatever his
chances may he, his candidacy is regarded
as favorable to the plans of Quay. 4 great
deal Of confusion in the convention is cal
culated on from the presentation of candi-
dates from many sections. With Morton,
Mckinley, Reed. Allison. Davis. Henderson,
Quay and such others as may yet bob up in
the field. the chances Of any one being NOM
mated early in the convention are regarded
remote.
To Divide the Mckinley Forces.
The opinion is expressed tha, the most
direct effort is to divide the Mckinley
| forces so as to prevent his nomination,
but there is rot attributed to Quay any
desire to further the interests of Reed.
There is evidence all along the line of
common cause being made by the friends of
other candidates against Mckinley. The
latest development of the fight for Gel
egateS from the south is an attack hy the
Reed people upon the Mckinley strong
hold of Tennessee. The sentiment in Ten
nessee has all along been regarded as ex-
ceptioaally favorable to Mckinley. and
i: has been calculated by the friends
of the Ohio candidate that he would
!! have solid delegation from that state
1t seems now, however, that they are not
to get this without a fight. Representative
Mccall OF Tennessee has announced that
he will be a candidate for delegate at
large to the convention, and will run as a
Reed man. 1t is said that in this he will
have the support of all his colleagues in
the House. An excuse for their antagon-
ism toward Mckinley is found In The accu-
ss,ion that the Ohio delegation. by giving
their support to Quay's candidate foc the
clerkship of the House, defeated TuEton
the Tennessee candidate.

ALLISON IN THE SOUTH.
What RObt. SmnllS Says About the
South Carolina Republicans.

Robert Smalls. the colored ex-Congress-
man from South Carolina mas been Wis
itor at the capital several days. While
he is here on private business he is much
interested in the question of who will get
the presidential nomination. Smails was
i'll Congress five terms from the black dis
trict of South Carolina, and is boss
among the republicans of the lower part of
that state. He is here to try to push a
bill through Congress to get pay for cap
turing the confederate transport boat
Planter. He wants all the boat was worth
for himself and associates.
Speaking to a Star reporter about pub
lished story that he will support Allison
for President. Smalls said: II wouldn' t
break feather in two to decide between
Reed, Allison and Morton, but l like AL
liSOn very much. I want the east to de-
eide on the candidate this time. In my
state 5S.nD negroes have been disfran-
chiSed. and We couldn't carry the state
for the republican electors if We tried. We
are going to take the new election laws
to the Supreme Court as soon as possible
and hope to have them declared unconsti-
tutional.
Yes. L have known Allison for years.
Smalis ccStinued, land don't know a man
who would make a better President"
BIayton. the chairman of the republican
party of South Carolina, is for Reed but
Smalls has more influence than Brayton.
and the majority of the South Carolina
delegation can be counted on for Allison.

His Literary Bureau.
Huntington has his literary bureau work.
ing at full head in Washington, and col
Umns of his matter are printed daily in
Wash.ngt papers. This is an old game of
Huntington's. Twenty years ago he wrote
from New York to his dear friend Cotton:
IF you could get some well-written articles
published in the San Francisco papers y
| would get the articles republished in the
newspapers this side TO as great an ex-
tent as l could, which is very effective
and cheap way of advertising." But the
game is now played with more of regard
for economy. The old method involved the
hiring of newspapers both in San Francisco
and in the east; the new way is direct deal
ing with the east.
Interviews can be manufactured in Wash
inSton just easily as they can at the
Golden Gate, SO there is no longer neces-
sity for lavish use of telegraph lines.

manifesting a stubbornness of opposition
TO the measure that was not expected from
their guarded statements on the subject at
the time of the vote. They are placing
their opposition on grounds other than
their devotion to silver, and say that there
will probably be nothing done with the
measure for some time yet, until they have
reached an agreement. They Indicate that
they will not vote for the bill in exactly its
present form. but will insist, as condition
of their support. that higher duty be put
on wool. They insist that the measure
does not give an amount of protection tina
would be of any value to the wool growers.
and say that they do not propose to ac-
cept the b.ll until it IS changed in this
particular.

Smith, of Hagerstown. Md, and n party
OF mining men from Ripley report that
meteoric stone covering two acres Of
ground fell on the. 9th near Ripley, bury
ing under its red-hot mass n Mexican
herder, his wife and three children, his
house, corral and about 1,290 sheep. Major
Thomas Hayes, of Louisville. who was
OF the party, was overcome by the
phenomenon 1T was the most brilliant,
grand and awe-inspiring sight l ever wit
messed" he said 1T is simply beyond
the power of ongue or pen to accurately
describe it,
The heat from the meteor is SO intense
that it will be several days before the
mound can be examined closer" As de-
scribed by the party the meteor came
down red and smoking. The air for miles
around was filled with sulphurous gas,
and the earth for many miles trembled un-
der the shock of the fall. The stone seems
to be imbedded hundreds of feet in the
earth. 1t rises from the earth like grea t
mound. The scene of the descent is in the
vicinity of Halls ranch. about sixty miles
from Tucson and about forty from Globe.
A large number of people have gone from
here to see the stone.
