tends that the bonds issued in aid of the construction of the Prescott & Ari zona Central railroad were absolutely nnli and void and without considcra- ton. That they were not issued for any debt or obligation necessary to the administration of the plaintiffs inter nal affairs, but under mandatory act of the legislature without authority or right.
 Plaintiff further alleges upon infor- nation and belief that on or about Sept. Is, 1897, Governor NJ. H. Mo Cord and Territorial Secretary Chas, H. Akers, constituting majority of the loan commission, met at the capital of the territory and undertook to re- fund said bonds under and by virtue of an net of congress entitled "An act approving with amendments the fund ing act of Arizona, approved June 20, lS90;" that the defendant, c. r. Leitch, territorial auditor, was not present and did not sign said funding bonds; that said Leitch has been re- moved from office as auditor, said re- moval to take effect upon the quaIifica- ton of defendant Yickers; that Yickers is made party to this suit so that should he qualify and become the act ing auditor, whatever process or iudg ment of the court may be issued or rendered against him.
 Furthermore, it is alleged that the board of supervisors of Yav- apai county, in December, 1896, made formal protest against the | funding of said bonds, and that Chas. H. Akers, as clerk of the board, transmitted a certified copy of the pro test to the loan commission. which was received by them and that the said re- quest of the board of supervisors is n condition precedent to the authority of the loan commission to act in the mat ter of funding the bonds. That on the 18th day of September, 1897, mem- bers of the board of supervisors, to- gether with the district attorney of Iavapai county, wired their protest to the loan commission against funding the said pretended bonds.
 The application for temporary in. junction was heard by Judge Trues. dale Oct. 2, and the court decided to grant the temporary injunction and sci 1 Nov. as the time for hearing the ap' plication for a permanent injunction
 The administration newspapers ridi cule the bringing of the injunction suit by Yavapai county, claiming that tht bonds In question were signed and de livered to Kitchen < Co., of New York, or their agents. Of this there appears to be serious doubt. If, as i. alleged, Auditor Leitch refused to sigr the funded bonds, and Dr. Yickers diC not qualify until Oct. l, the date wheI the injunction suit was filed, whicl acted as an estoppel upon Auditor Vickers moving in the matter, the bond were lacking the essential of th' auditors signature.
 The removal of Auditor Leitch ant appointment of Vickers gives strong color to the opinion that Leitch re fused to sign the bonds and that it wa therefore necessary to put man in hi place as auditor who would do the bid ding of the other members of the loa, commission desiring the funding of thu bonds. In the meantime suIt will b' entered to declare the Yavapai bond void.

side pleaded with the court for mercy,
making a long and somewhat rambling

his chair and sobbed bitterly. his wife try

THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE.

Mr.. Bea4c hamp's Last Lecture En-
jOyed by Large Audience.
Mr.. Lou ]. Beauchamp, who has been
giving a series of lectures on temperance
at the Guards hall, under the auspices of
the w. C. T. u, delivered his last lecture
here last night. He will leave to-day for
Atlanta and will later go to Charleston,
having arranged for a series of lectures at
each place.
Mr.. Beauchamp departed from the beat
en- path last night and instead of discuss
ing temperance, devoted himself to the
Sunny Side of Life" Those who heard
his other lectures and failed to hear the
one last night made a mistake
There was a large audience, however,
and for over an hour it was entertained
with an unimitable flow of wit. humor,
drollery and anecdote mixed with many
sage reflections and much good advice.
Mr.. Beauchamp was successful in max
ing his audience see the sunny side of
life, for the time being at any rate. Much
good advice on this subject was evident
ly drawn from practical experience. His
advice to fathers and mothers was good,
but his advice to the young people on love
making was filled with both common
sense and humor and was very much en-
joyed by his audience.
Mr.. Beauchamp has made many friends
here, who will give him a warm welcome
should he return to Savannah again.

Sugar Beet knowledge,

If the American farmers produced
the sugar beets necessary to furnish
sugar to tho American people it would
necessitate the cultivation OF. about
100000 acres of land, based on raising
"a crop Of beets on the land every two
years. At ten tons Of beets to the acre,
worth 81 per ton, the farmers would re-
ceive $40,000,000. AS much more would
be paid out in labor in the factories,
and this, together with the additional
labor necessary On our transportation
lines, would increase the home markets
for other products.
Instead of sending away every year
$50,OO0,O00 to $75,000,000 in wheat to for
.eign countries, enabling thenl to make
the home price on the large quantities
consumed at home, and importing over
$100,000,000 worth of sugar annually,
let us work to reverse this order of
things, and the result will be higher
prices and the creation of new and
profitable agricultural ind ustry.--San

Since the dismemberment of the
steel combi and d reduction in the
price Of steel rails TO SIT ton, all the
works have been running to their full
capacity and orders continue to pour
in. A few days since the Carnegie
Company, at Pittsburg, received an or
der from England for 100000 tons,
and one for 11,000 tons from the Japan
Government. This is hard blow for
a protective tariff and high prices. If
there is a profit in steel rails at $17
a ton, there was an immense profit at
$22, and the high price curtailed the
demand, thereby throwing thousands
of men out of employment.
