P. C. Thomas, of California, is the
guest of friends in this city.
Mrs. Ezra Simmons very pleasantly
entertained the Sanitarium guests at a
porch party Friday evening.
Miss Frances Wheeler, of Chicago,
and Mrs. E. Vetter, of st. Louis, are
recent arrivals at the Sanitarium.
Mrs. John M. Foster, widow of the
late John NJ. Foster, of Racine, very
prominent in thatscity and we'll known
among Kenoshans, died at her home in
the Belle City thisj.morning at the age
of 81 years.
The work on the Deming street gas
main was delayed for some time this
morning by theicaving Of the bank on
each side. 1t had been carefully sup
ported with timbers aud braces, but
when the work reached the vicinity of
the new sewer the wall was so narrow
it could no longer support itself, and
consequently fell in, covering the pipes
and some of the men with the dirt and
water which broke through.
The collector for the Racine Adj
vance was in this city Friday. In the
evening he met with an accident while
riding on the north side which gave
him several bruises and damaged his
wheel to such an extent that he had to
lay over here a day while it was under
going repairs. The accident was
caused by collision with another rider
on the narrow path near the Schlitz
saloon.
The usual crowd, little larger than
formerly, congregated at Central park
to listen to. the music Of the Windsor
band. Prof. Jacoby's training is GER
tainly having a telling effect. The
work of the band has improved mark
eddy each week. Friday nights per-
Torrance was superior to any of its
predecessors. 1t was also remarked
with pleasure that there was much less
disturbance than has been noticed
heretofore.
Tony Ole met with an accident while
riding from Racine Friday evening. A
slight mishap at first overlook his rear
wheel which he was able to remedy at
once but little later the chain broke
making it impossible to proceed. For
tunately it was nearer Racine than
Kenosha and another gentleman going
north volunteered to trade wheels to
save Tony the walk home. The we'll
disposed stranger took the wheel to
Racine, had it repaired and rode it into
Kenosha today.

TWO KINDS OF BUzzARDs.
One Kind Wears Feathers and the Other
KIND Clothes.

The buzzard will fly almost an in
credible distance if need be in search
for it's chosen food. Over rich fields
with waving grain and sweet with the
perfume OF flowers; past clear, spark
ling brooks which carry health in
every ripple, it scars, with never a
stop, far above all the attractive things
of life. 1t is seeking the dead. In
stinctively and unerringly it finds the
carrion on which it feeds.
In the economy of nature the buzz
zard may fill niche of its own and
serve helpful purpose, but the scav-
enger bird, too cowardly TO fight, too
lazy to earn living by active competi-
ton and too debased to have any in.
spiration above the offal on which it
gorges it's ill-odored carcass, isA a
figure to attract nor a e odel to be ad-
mired.
But certain buzzards do not fly
Some of them walk and wear clothing.
Those that fly have no voice; those
that do not have little else. The ca
lamity waller is the buZzard of the in
dustrial world. He does not hear the
hum of awakening prosperity; he does
not perceive the smoke arising from
factory chimneys long given over to the
feathered masons for their habitations;
he does not know that bank clearances
are heavier; that times, however hard
4 ho no
have been at any period since demo-
cratic management and administrative
ineficiency sent wages and profits
down to low water mark.
The calamity buzzard sees nothing
which makes for business improve
ment, because he does not look for it.
He is seeking not for commercial life,
but fcr industrial death. If firm be-
comes embarrassed he sets up loud
croaking to apprise the whole world of
the disaster. If a strike throws out Of
employment a few workingmen in a
certain industry he maintains that the
wheels of progress are completely
blocked. He croaks because a repub-
lican administration has been unable in
four months to repair all the damages
of twice as many years of misrule. He
croaks because a tariff bill has not
brought a tlOodtide of prosperity even
before it has been formulated and
placed upon the statute books. He
croaks because it is his nature to
croak, just as it is the nature of his
feathered prototype to fly But be is
bird of i'll omen, at all times and under
all circumstances, and the voters of
any state who adopt that symbol for
their party standard will see their col
ors trailed in the dust at the polls.

THE PHILLIPS CASE.
It May Be in the Hands of the Jury
 This Afternoon.

After some unimpOrtanit testimony yesterday morning by persons who had been called to Phillips store on the Monday morning that Officer Bailey discovered a fire there, evil dently incendiary, the territory rested and the defendant Phillips was called to the stand. His testimony became the foundation on which the defense will endeavor to build up an alibi.
 He closed his store, he said, at fhe usual time, about midnight. He did not go home directly, but was about several places on Washington street until about 2 o'clock, when he drove home, as he usually did, so that the bloodhounds who had come to his house on the trail of a man on foot must have followed some one else
 He was not we'll that night and after he had lain down for some time he arose and left the house in his night clothes. It was during his brief absence from the house that the cab driver called to tell him about the fire at his store. When the officers came the second time he was asleep. He accompanied them to the store. noted the arrangements there and also tihe absence of 1 1,5O0 cigars which were there when he closed the store at midnight.
 His stepson, Garrett Schuller, cor roborated Phillips statement as to the time of his return in the early morning. but as he slept afterward he could not account for all of his move ments between that time and the visit of the cabman
 The testimony of Mrs Phillips was more corroborative of the whole state ment made by her husband. For ir- stance, she heard him return to the house from the store He lay on the floor and complained of being i'll. He was then in his night iclothes and she told him to go to bed. When the cab man called she supposed he was still in the house and called him. When he returned he was wearing his night clothes. There was other testimony
 all corroborative of some part of one story or another, so that taken all to- gether it presented a reasonably strong alibi
 | A dramatic incident occurred while Mrs. Phillips was on the stand. She
 was asked if she had examined her ! husbands hair and eyebrows to see if they were singed as the prosecu- tfon had said they were She was
 asked if she had examined them in the jail. She hesitated. and then

WANT MORE COSTS.
Arizona. the Applicant. Shy to the
 Amount of $110.

Attorney-General Frazier yes .erday received notification from the United States supreme court that unless this territory, the appellant in the famous case of the Stare of Arizona Improve mant company, put up more money for costs the case would be dropped from the docket. At the time of the appeal $25 was forwarded. but the accrued costs amount to $135.
 The appeal was taken last SD ing after a judgment by Judge Baker de- claring the validity of the prison contract and directing the prisoners to be turned over to the plaintiff and after this judgment had been aff med by the territorial supreme court.
 Times have changed since then and men and administrations have changed with them. The prison contract is working and all the persons interested are pleased with the manner of it's working. It is hardly probable that the preseDt administration will put up $110 for the carrying out of an experiment, which, at the very best, could have no more pleasant result than has already been obtained At this distance it looks as if the United States supreme court would have to let Ter drop.

THE WRONG PLAINTIFF.
A Discovery in the Case of the Terri
 tory vS Freeman.

Tucson is the home of antiuuities Everything is cherished according to its age. The court dockets until two years ago contained dozens of cases which had been on file for years and the parties to which had either long since died or had forgotten all about the litigation. At last there came a cleaning up. Many of the cases were thrown out, but several were pre- served as souvenirs. Among these was the suit of the Territory Vs. Mer- Till P. Freeman, ex-president of the university and ex-chancellon of the board of regents. The suit was in- stituted by Attorney-Ge General Satter- white in 1894 to recover money amounting to about $1,2OO, alleged to have beem drawn by MT Freeman for himself and employees of the univer- sfty in excess of what he had a right to draw under the statutes. MT. Free mans salary as chancellor, by the way, was $150 a year, to be paid cut of the territorial funds As the head of the university, that is, as busine S supervisor of its various departments for 1t was not then quite so central ized as it Is now, he drew $50 mon h. The suit never came to trial, but was cherished on the docket through the terms of two attorney
 When Attorney General Frazier came irto office and set about the transaction of public business the case of the Territory vs. Freeman came to his notice.
 He could not discover that the de- fendant had drawnl an excess out cf the territorial funds or had, in fact, drawn anything
 He sent to the interior department and yesterday received vouchers drawn during the three years of. MT. Freeman's service. It transpires that the money was drawn out of the agri- cultural fund, a government fund, over which the territory had no con-

MIR. sNEED's CONVERSATION.
Carried On at Rate of More Than a
 Dollar a Word.

It would cost J. Samuel Sneed, the 'Steenth ward councilman, less to transmit his sentiments by the trans Atlantic cable than to merely talk them. It has frequently cost MT. Sneed as much as dollar a word for talking. Yesterday it cost him S25 for a brief, one-sided conversation. MT. Sneed did not say very much, but what he did say was so much to the point that when lady who heard it was asked in police court yesterday afternoon to repeat it, the general pub lie was excluded.
 MT. Sneed opened his mouth and spoke under the following circum- stances: On Tuesday mornng ex- Officer Bailey was standing opposite MT. Sneed's residence talking to a lady His faithful dog, Police Jack,'' stood beside him. Suddenly half a brick bounced off of Jacks ribs and MT. Bailey followed the red hot trail of the missile backward through the air to the right hand of MT. Sneed, who still stood in the attitude of thrower. MT. ISneed had just read in The Repub- hcan about the beginning of the po- lice reorganization the night before and knew that MT. Bailey was TO longer in power. The memory Of a thousand wrongs by the police surged upon him. He believed himself now to be immune and went out and threw the brick.
 When the ex-of1cer remonstrate with him upon the unprovoked assault MT Sneed became voluble. Volatility and vileness are synonymous terms in the case of MT. Sneed, and the lady who had been talking to the ex- officer abandoned the scene.
 Exhilerated by the new position of private citizen to which he had just been promoted, Mir Bailey hastened to make use of the prerogatives of a private citizen. He swOre out a Wal rant for MT. Sneed's arrest
 When he came into court yesterday he made no defense, but was rather surprised at the fine of $25 He said the recorder was not gentleman and he hoped he would live to see a man of different instincts elected to sue ceed him. Many magistrate would

THE ABANDONMENT OF wHIPPLE
Governor McCord on a Matter Now
 Under Consideration.

A great deal of apprehension is being expressed by business men and others i nPhoenix and throughout the northern part of the territory on ac- ment is considering the abandon ment of Whipple Barracks upon the recommendation of General Miles and Inspector-General Lawton
 Governor McCord. who is more di- re'etly the representative of the terri tory, was interviewed on this subject yesterday.
 Said he: ''I ann much interested in having garrison maintained at Whipple. I recommended it in my annual report to the interior depart ment and I believe that if the needs of the northern part of the territory can be forcibly laid before the depart ment, Whipplef will be left u dis turbed. have wired Secretary AIger this afternoon directing his attention to that part of my repont. Exigen- cies are likely to rise at any time calling for the employment of troops For instance, there is a serious and perhaps dangerous irritation among the Navajos with or without cause. I have ordered an investigatiol of the matter, but it is impossible to foresee the extent of the trouble which wi l grow out of the case. The troops are needed not only on account of possible conflicts between Indians end set lers
 Occasions arise in which large commercial and mining interests are in need of protection which cannot be afforded by the civil or territorial au- thorities however willing and efficient they may be.
 With Whipple removed, there would be a vast stretch of more than 600 miles between Wfngabe and Mo have exposed to outlawry. There is Camp Apache, but so far removed from the railroad that assistance from that point would not be available if the reed were urgent. Whipple is ad- m1rably located for an army post. Within d few hours a sufficient force to quell any possible disturbance that might arise could be transported to any point along the Santa Fe Pacific or to any on the S. F. P. & P. within few hours.
 'If we had a strong National Guard In northern Arizona, the proposed abandonment of Whipple would not be such serious matter, but there is only one company, the Flagstaff company, consisting, believe, of only forty members
 There is also small company at St. Johns, but so remote from the railroad as to be practically unavai.- able. I hope that in the interest of peace and security of life and prop erty the post at Whipple will not be abandoned"

with a pitiful gesture, exclaimed, "Oh, the jailw There was not much in the words, butt great deal in the way she said them. When she had recovered she apologized to the court for her emotional demonstration, which was so affecting that some members of the jury and members of the audience wiped their eyes stealth fly and pressed little humps in their throats. If the case could have been given to the jury at that instant it would have been quickly disposed of
 The defense believes it's alibi to be so complete that 1t will only introduce a few witnesses this morning ito smirch the characters of the blood hounds. Arguments will probably be began after noon. The case is also likely to be in the hands of the jury before night.

have made this remark the ground work for another fine, but the re- corder considering the frame of mind of MT. Sneed let it go unnoticad

M'KeNNA'S ExAlTATION.

Probably the most persistent acti'l's
toward the contamination of the Union
Pacific deal was Attorney General Me
Kenna who has just been nominated 10
H.. Associate Justice of the United States
Supreme court. When the weak PreSl'
dent seemed to WAIVER. under the dlScoV-
cry of the press, toward the honest
course which he may have preferred,
McKenna. in the hands of the campaign
bargain-makcrs, was used as lash to
wn.p him back into the deal that had
been consummated by Hanna. And he
did it.
It turned out that the cutlery of the
great papers saved the government from
loss in the Union Pacific sale. but the
money sharks saved themselves by con
ditioning this additional consideration
upon the separate sale of the Kansas
Pacific. 1t was clearly pointed out that
by the building of few hundred miles
this Kansas Pacific branch, or better,
fragment could be paralleled at trif-
ling cost compared with the $15,o0000o,
due the government. Certain it was,
therefore that there could be nothing
but loss consequent upon its separate
sale. This. of course. was where the
money-sharks had calculated to save
themselves. &
1t was, therefore, not surprising to
read explicitly stated in the Presidents
message the statement that the highest
bid was $13,5O0,0u0 less than the a
mount due, and that, therefore, the gov
eminent would have to bid in the worth
less remnant.
The sale had been set for December
10. But it was strangely postponed. In
the light of the nomination of McKen-
IA it would seem that his confirmation
is desired before the corruption of the
deal is emphasized further by the Kan
sas Pacific sale.
AS the matter stands, Mckinley, poll
tically speaking. will have to suffer the
odium of the abhorrent transaction, but
the people of the United States will
have to suffer more in appealing for JUS
tice 10 a man whose common honesty
they herein have just reason to doubt.
And in all these remarks no account is
taken of tue mans incapacity which is
made glaring by the testimony, in Cali
fornia, of those who have known him
long and well, and who are fitted 10
