WHAT CINCINNATI WANTS.
NJ. f. ingalls, Outlines Some of the
Points Proposed.

NJ. e. ingalls,, precedent of the Big Four
expressed himself as follows: "I am only
one of five delegates sent from our city as
representatives to this convention, or, as
it is called, monetary conventions; and we
are simply the moutkpiece Of the Cincin-
natl Chamber of Commerce and other COM
mercial bodies. All the acts of the parties
whom we represent here, of course, have
been in the nature of resolutions, and al
though some of us may have different
views we think the majority are correct.
They first ask for the retirement of
greenback currency and provide for its re-
tirement. First, they demonetize it by de-
claring that they be in the demonetzation
series and at given time date in
the future be defused of legal-tender
features, and interchangeable in series of
say $50, and multiples for government bonds
bearing say about per cent. interest, and
that 10 per cent. of those presented at the
United States treasury or subtreaSuries be
retired. Second, we wish a reduction of
taxes on circulating notes issued by ma
tonal banks 10 one-half of 1 per cent.
Third. we wish to see national banks grant
ed the privilege OF issuing notes to
par value of notes held. Fourth, the estab-
lishment of a national-bank clearing house
under national control. Fifth. that nation

in less sums that So. They are in favor of

PECULIAR SWINDLE.
A Sons Attempt To Get $4,000 from
His Father, an Illinois Farmer.

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Jan. IL Horace
Hall, white half breed, over sixty years
old, and William Rusk, about twenty-five
years his junior are in Jail here, charged
with peculiar offense. Rusks father is
wealthy citizen of Atwater ILL., The
young man left home about ten years ago
The scheme was for young Rusk to die, fig
uratively speaking, and. under the name of
Brown, to become administrator of his es-
tate. After this was all done Hall was TO
write TO Rusk's parents telling them that
Rusk was dead and that Rusk had bor-
rowed $4,000 from Hail. which Brown, the
administrator, refused to pay until he heard
from Rusk's father. The letter was couched
I'm sympathetic terms, but made it very
plain that 1t was Rusks duty TO send the
money to Brown so he could pay the debt
of his alleged dead SON. Had it not been
for the Illinois farmers desire to see the
remains of his son the game would prob
ably have worked. but after telegraphing
number of times about the body to
Brown" and Hall. and getting no satisfac-
ton, he became suspicious. Hall and Rusk
bitterly upbraid each other for the failure
OF their plans.

aims and deserts. The man who looks for either the beauty or the seductive excite ment of Monte Carlo will not find it. As little will lie 'tipd the historic remains or the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor could he reasonable expect the amusements and luxuries of our own Eastern cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of subduing it to the residence and uses of civilized man. But 1t has two transcontinental lines of railw ay with numerous feeders; it has fast mails, ahd rival telegraph lines, and is throbbing with the. intense life of the splendid West.
 The two principal towns in the south -ern portion, chiefly sought for their climatic advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson. Each of them has ten thousand inhabitants or more. They have the electric light, tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches, an occasional theatrical performance. some- times lecture or a circus, often horse race, and, in the spring, a thoroughly curious and interesting "Gesta." For the cest, people must take their anlusements with them. Good horses are abundant and cheap. and there are plenty of cow boys-the genuine article--to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix, is nearly always easy. The roads are apt to be dusty; but there IS one we'll sprinkled drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular in their direction, it is rarely difficult to choose a route or which the dust will be largely carried away from you. The unbroken desert itself is often as easy to drive over J as an Eastern highway, and the whole valley is paradise for bicyclers, or eques- l trains

 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is now Yrma County in 177l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter '-itcry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- ipect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali ,tornia catches of Arizona is that Of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is @nugiy situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of OFT superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes Of the country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a 'rapility that at present can hardly be re- alfaed. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possiblll- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water'to become paradise oi bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on feot to supply the life-giving waters oi the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA COUNTY Renanse ifs mines are the richest

WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA COUNTY
 Because it's mines are the richest.
 Because its grazing lands are the best.
 Because it's farming lands are valuable and productive.
 Because it gives assurance of the largest returns on money invested. Because it's grand resources are yet to be developed.
 Because it is young, growing county with an assured future.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in manufacturing enterprises are better than in any other region of the West.
 Because good mining properties can be had at reasonable figures. Because there is demand for additional facilities for ore reduction. Because there are vast stretches of rich soil to be reclaimed by the construction of irrigating canals.
 Because there are large tracts of grass lands that can be utilized by the sinking ot artesian wells.
 Because there are many openings in new country which cannot exist in older com munities.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in the successful cultivation of semi-tropic fruits are better than in any other part of the United States.
 Because property values are rapidly ad- vancing.
 Because Arizona's boom is yet to come.
 Because it is virgin field, ready for the seed which will produce golden harvest.

Tucson and Phoenix. The first is near the sea level; is the warmest and probably the driest of the three, has She least population, and the smallest provision for visitors
 Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory
 and, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest iu the Southwest. Its adobe houses give 1t a Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. Its newer houses are of 0 handsome building stone, found in the vicinity. The Territorial University is here, and it was formerly the capital. Its elevation being somewhat cooler, and as there is next to no irrigation near it, the air is a little drier. Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover ed with almost countless herds of Cattl:, and it is everywhere shut in by low mount aims. It is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatis Asylum, and other institutions, and is the general focus for the Territory Like Tucson, it has its occasional wind and sand storms-perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprising ard most hospitable community. They will ! find a country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abounding in cattle and horses, in vineyards and orchards and the beginnings of very successful orange grove: "a country, i'll fact, as full of promise fol hardy and adventurous men now as Califor
 mia was in the:ffties. Above all, it has
 been their lot to search for health in fal
 countries, they will revel in the luxury ot
 being in their own land, among their owr
 countrymen, within easy reach of thei
 friends by telegraph or rail, and in a cIimat
 as good of its kind as any in the world.
