LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade Better than Last Week, and
Prices Ruling Firm.

In nearly all lines merchants speak Of trade as
being quite an Improvement over last week and
with strong prices. Still the tendency to higher
prices is not apparent a month ago. Pos
sibly this is due to the setback that business re-
ceived through the unreasonable weather. Whole
sale grocers, druggists and leather dealers have
lad grounds for complaint, but dry goods
houses have not done the business looked for in
trade the last day or two has been quite active
lines very fair prices have been obtained. Peaches
are practically OFT the market. Irish potatoes are
coming in freely and prices rule weak. The same
remark will apply to onions, while cabbage is firm
al quotations. In no lines is there any special
feature to note.
The local grain market is rather quiet Re-
ceipts what they should be and it very
evident that wheat and corn are being held back
with expectations of better prices. The inspec-
lions have fallen short of those of last month in

Suit to Compel Restitution.
 During hls visit to Nogales, Mon- day, Sheriff Leatherwood served on Mr G. A. Avery complaint in a suit entered against him for alleged misfeaSancc in office when he was a member of the board Of supervisors. The facts alleged are that during the term when Mir.

The general govern ment allows one dollar per day for each United States prisoner. In many counties the sheriff is permitted to retain the full amount. Pima county formerly permitted him about sixty percent. During Mir. Ayery's term on the board the sherifY's allow ance was cut down to about thirty percent. It is to compel restitution of this allowance that the present suit is entered by the District Attor- ney, at the instance of the Good Government Club of Tucscn.

ESCAPED AS A BOY.

HOW Miss CfsnerOs Boarded the
Seneca Under Detectives Eyes.
From New York telegram.
Miss Cisneros' escape and safe
arrival on the Seneca was one of the
most daring feats eyer attempted
and successfully carried out. While
she was still in prison her friends
secured passport for one Juan
Sofa, and stateroom No. 3 on the
Seneca was held in the same name.
This was three days before the boat
sailed. On the Saturday when the
Seneca was to leave, Havana detec-
tives watched her gang-ways with
extra caution. All day long they
remained at their post examining the
passports which all passengers have
to show before leaving Havana.
Their vigilance would probably have
prevented the departure of Miss
Cisneros from Cuba, had it not been
FOL little refreshment which was
served to them by friends of Miss
Cisneros, who were aboard the Sene-
ca. The refreshments included wine.
The chief of police of Havana came
aboard while the refreshment part of
the plot was in progress, and it is
alleged he, too, fell a victim of the
wines of the Cisneros faction.
A few minutes before the Seneca
was ready to pull out from her dock
slim young fellow came running
across the wharf. b g had no bag
gage and was fashionably dressed.
He walked quickly up the gang
plank. Detectives stopped him. ''My
name is Juan Sola," he said, and he
showed his passport. Everything
was satisfactory, SO the senior was
allowed to go aboard. 1T is said
that ii it had not been for the wine
the strange tremble and curious
figure of Senior Sofa might have ex-
cited the suspicious of the Spanish
detectives. But the scheme worked
successfully. Miss Cisneros' friends,
when they saw that everything
was satisfactory, disembarked and
watched the ship pull slowly out
under the frowning Spanish guns,
carrying the fugitive to safety under
the Stars and Stripes.
Miss Cisneros did not court danger
any more than was necessary and at
once went to her cabin. The next
day, however, when Moro Castle
was left far behind, she appeared on
deck, transformed into Senorita
Juana Sofa, alias Cossioy Cisneros,
dressed in a becoming red gown.

his Sight Restored.
New York Dispatch, 10Th.
From far away India a man has
come to practice an ancient medical
art upon New York's blind million
aire, Charles Broadway Rouss. He
is DIR. Guelph Norman, of Burmah,
and he has now had Mr.. Rouss for 8
patient for one week.
DR.. Norman's proposal to restore
the blind to sight was treated, with
disdain by the regular medical
fraternity, but if the patient himself
is to be believed a wonder has already
been worked. Mr.. Rouss says he can
see little bit. He is yet skeptical
and DR.. Norman will bave to do
much more before he establishes the
reputation here that he is said to
enjoy in the Orient-thaU of the Great
Physician.
81 shall cure Mr.. Rouss within four
weeks" said DR.. Norman last night,
'and then l shall return to India.
My mission will have been fulfilled,
and have no idea of remaining in
this country. Life is very active here

Cant Fool Them ALWAYS,

Lexington Dispatch
The people as a whole are after
what is best, and it is hard to fool
them for any length of time. They
all know that they have been miser-
ably and shamefully deceived and be.
trayed by these fusion leaders. No
honest Populist and no honest Re-
publican is to blame for all these
burdens put upon the people by these
bosses. The bosses are to blame and
the one fact that they are now en-
gagged in disgraceful dog fight
among themselves over the spoils of
office is sufficient of itself to prove
that they are after their own interest
and care not fig for the welfare and
common good of the country at
large.
