liability by his head hitting the ground
in the fall DR.. Luxford, in charge OF
the ambulance, gave the necessary medi-
cal attention, and left the patient at

The Wool Market

The market continues dull and the tOuc weak under the dcpres, ion of large stocks and limited demand. The supply of Territory wools on the market is excessive, and some sales have recently been made ali lower prices. The asking price for fine medium and fine woods is on the Lasis of 27O30c, secured, but cash buyer, disposed to take a ronnd lot, could get concessions from the inside price. Manufacturers are not in position to buy largely. however, even if the price is low, the high money market being against opei ations. Fleece woods are in moderate supply, particularly fine grades, and prices are held steady in the absence of trade. Foreign wools are dull, but held fairly steady on inc secured basis of 3s@47c. for clothing and comb,ng Australian. The To, of wool reported shipped to England by the Arlington mills last week went on steamer Baltimore 10 London, 500 GOO pounds. s.--Bradstrects.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND played hi

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND played his first trump in the presidential game when he selected ex.Governor Francis to succeed Hoke Smith as SC cretary of the interior, and it has made the silver men so mad that they are talking about the advisability of taking the unusual course in the Senate of reject ing the nomination of Mir. Francis. It is not probable, however, that such a course will be followed, as the election will be over before the Senate meets It is admitted by all who know the situation in Missouri that Mir. Cleve- land greatly strengthened the gold Democrats in that State by taking Governor Francis into the cabinet, and consequently increased McKinley's chances for carrying the State. AL though Governor Francis denies that he was "Gn the fence," it is stoutly asserted by Missouri Democrats that he would have come out for Bryan had he not been made secretary of the in- tcrior. It is the impression in Wash ingten that he will only be nominally at the head of the interior department, as his time will be fully taken up be- tween now and election working up the gold Democracy in Missouri, and after election there will scarcely be time enough left for him to learn the duties of the position.

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
TERRITORY or ARIZONA. EXECUTIVE OFFICE.

EXECUTIVE OrrIcE. By national authority the first Monday in September, the seventh day of the month, is designated as legal holiday, to be known and celebrated as Labor Day.
 This IS but just and proper recognition of the great agency that has caused our country to stand first among the nations of the world. Every ship that rides upon the sea, all of the great armaments of our sea coast, all of the grand highways of commerce that traverse our country, all the grandeur of our cities, all of our splendid agricultural deyelop- ment. are monuments Of labor. In no conn. try of the world has labor been more fully recognized and honorcd than in ours. At,opp its other grand achievements it has been the mission or our country to ennOble and dig. nify labor, and no people of our republic more fully sympatbizc with the hopes and aspirations of the workingmcn than the people of our Territory.
 Now. therefore. ], Benjamin ]. Franklin. Governor of the Territory of Arizona. bv virtue of the power and authority in me vested' do hereby proclaim Monday, the sev. enth day Of Sep! ember, X. D. 1898, a holiday. and do hereby recommend and request that all places of business and public offices bc closed on that day, and that tho people of our Territory join In universal observance thereof.
 ih witness where Of I have hereunto set my
 hand and caused the great seal
 of this Territory to be bereunto lsEAil affixed. this nineteenth day of
