the capitol detectives, lis one of the

Wise had been addressing for about
ten minutes monster crowd in front
of Hanover court house on the issues
of the day, when he noticed a craning
of necks on the part OF his rustic au-
dience, and finally the departHre of d
dozen or more men in the direction of
a fakir, who was making speech in
front of dirty looking circus tent. As
the fakir told about the marvellous
freaks to- be seen ;nsi6e-the rubber
neck man, the bearded woman, the liv-

fairly yelled: Look over yonder, boys;
there's a circus. Came with me: it's

one in the crowd followed him. After

The Milk in the COcOanut.

In the territory of Arizona there has
been a fight over the governOrshlp that
has been carried on for four yea. S
over every succeeding governor and
is a disgrace to the territory. Ever
since the capital was NOV d from Pres
colt to Phoenix this fight has been
kept up, and in all that time no gov
e-nor has served a full term. People
outside of the territory ha wondered
why it was that there was so much and
such bitter fighting over this Of11ce.
TIE fight made against the cOnflrma-
ton of the appointment of Col. Nc
Cord has been bitter and long drawn
out, and during its continuance the
secret of all the trouble has come out.
1t seems the governor appoints the ter
ritorial treasurer, the treasurer keeps
the territorial funds in bank. There
are two banks in Phoenix. Each
bank wants these funds. The
bank that has the funds is al
ways fighting against a change in
the gOvernorship. and consequently
change in the treasurerShlp. The bank
that has not got the funds is always
fighting for change. The fight on
McCord is a bank fight. 1t would be
good thing for the territory if the new
governor would appoint life convict
in the Yuma peniten larry as treasurer.
aud have him keep the territory's roll
in one of the underground cells. There
is no such trouble in New Mexico.
Here any bank in good standing can
make bond to the territory and upon
its approval a portion of the territorial
funds will be deposi ed in the bank.

lature: 1t is reported that it cost
eight Thousand dollars to get this law

There has been shown at Mobile
during the past few days block of
steel made there from red hematite
ore, from the Birmingham district of
Alabama. The steel has teen made at
one run, avoiding the costly and labor

ma ore have been made in Blrming haul
for several years, but cheap steel has

The Mobile steel is the first run that

Cuban magnetic ores, or the use of ex-
pensive machinery, Tests made show
that it is fine grade steel.
