A crowded house witnessed the first exhibition of the Projsctoscope in King man Monday and Tuesday evenings. The machine is Edison's wonderful in- vention and 10 person who has never seen it it is worth going miles to see The pictures exhibited were true 10 life and natural as though the actors stood before the audience in life and acted their role. The slightest movement is reproduced, The serpentine dances, the Corbstt Courtney fight and other in- teresting subjects were given. The view of the Santa Fe limited shows ihe train coming toward the audience at sixly mile clip and it is so startlingly realistic that the aboriginles near the door oi the hall were fearful that they would be run over. The machine will exhibit here again Monday night with nn entire change of views. From here it will be taken to Chloride where an exhibition will be given in Cuzino's Hall Tuesday evening December 7th, and in White Hills Wednesday and Thursday even. iugs, December 8th and h.

Cur business men shouId take action in the matter of good roads leading from Kingman to the Big Sandy and the min. ing camps north and south The Union Pass mines are reached from Kingman over the toughest kind of road, but the expenditure of a few hundred dollars would put it in passable condition. Sandy and m moun,ain roads must be corduroyed to do tbem any good, but road workers do not understand this par. of the business. A road properly corduroyed will stay in admirable shape for many years and the expense is very small. The county ough. to put more money into roads and we hope that the board of supervlsors will make an ap- propriatIon at it's next meeting to build n new bridge on Coyote Hill and improve the roads leading to Mohave and the road leading north to the mines.

WORSE THAN SO YEAR LEASE.

The readers of this paper remember
the Moody bill which Republican pie
hunters sought to pass in the Leg.sla-
ture of 1895, and which failed OF pass
age only because there We're enough
honest Populists to join with the Demo
Gratis to kill it, At the time this paper
characterized it as 1.-THE most infamous
bill that ever crossed the Threshold of
the Senate"
A reading of the bill published else
where shows that it put this great
property in the hands of one man.
Governor Russelfs explanation that
there were to be several proxies does not
alter its character, nor does such inten-
ton appear from the text Of the bill.
1t is our conviction that it was an or
ganized steal Its possibilities were
worse even than the loss TO the people in
the 90 year lease. The Governors ex-
planation Of his connection with it puts
him and all others in thescheme in a
very bad light.

DEPEW NOT OPTIMISTIC.

The good price for wheat and the
marketing of tobacco and cotton has
stimulated business, and there is hope
that we have come to an end of the de
preston that has been a weight on the
enterprise of the country since the Nc
Knley bill became law. Chauncey De
pew evidently doubts the permanency OF
the wave of prosperity, for in recent
interview he said:
''The pace has been set so suddenly,
and is increasing so fast, that it will
require all the conservative forces OF
the country to prevent in two years
from now a general wreck. In other
words, our dangers are not only over
trading, but the launching of innu-
merable enterprises in which hope
will be more powerful than judg-
ment"

BANCROFT THE MAGICIAN.

There will undoubtedly be large
house in attendance at the Academy of
Music next Friday night to witness the
remarkable performance of Bancroft.
the Magician. 1t is well-known that
Bancroft presents the most elaborate
and expensive production of artistic and
spectacular magic ever seen by theatre
goers. He carries the scenery for his
entire entertainment complete, requiring
two large baggage cars for its transpor-
tation. His feats of bewilderment and
wonder are without end and he per-
forms them with grace and artistic
charm that fascinates and bewilders
while it entertains and amuses. Among
his remarkable illusions are THE Slave
of the Orient" THE Problems of the
Sphynx," the Unveiled Marvels of the
Pyramids ana the Mystery of Mes
rour." A feature of peculiar interest
will also be Bancroft's illusion Leonii,"
in which he transforms a beautiful girl
into majestic and living lion. His
programme also includes some unique
feats of Hindoo magic. and most
startling reproduction of Egyptian magic.
The box sheet will be open at Kings
Monday.

DICK MORSE BEGINS.
The Gospel Wagon Parades the Streets
He breaches.

The Gospel Wagon Parades the Streets
He breaches.
All day yesterday Dick Morse drove
his two gray horses drawing his gospel
wagon up and down the principal thor
oughfareS of this city, while his assist
ant diligently played upon the organ
which was appended TO the rear of the
turnout. The music, or the novelty of the
whole thing, seemed to infatuate the
small boys, for they focked behind the
procession by the score. Dick Morse and
his lieutenant seemed perfectly oblivious
of the heat, which was insufferable.
Last evening quite a crowd, composed
of white and colored, assembled in the
rear of the court house to hear him dis
course upon this life and the world to
come. His talks are illustrated by magic
lantern pictures, which appeared to
largely represent scenes in the lower re-
gions. He referred to his imprisonment
in Greensboro for preaching on the
street
While Dick Morse was conducting ms
lecture or sermon ON last evening the
order which prevailed among the audi
ence was by no means the best. In the
remarks all manner of retOrts would
be Interrupted by members of the au-
dience in the most ruthless and ungen-
tlemanly manner. In the midst of his
explanations all manner of ret0rtSwOuld
be hurled at him. For instance, one
man cried: why don't you talk more
about religion and less about bar
rooms =
This is only Il sample of the innum-
cradle remarks cast at him. One man
was arrested by the police for his un-
acrimonious interruptions OF the ser
vices, and when last seen a policeman
was disappearing with him around the
corner.
However. the speaker didn't seem to
pay any attention to the prevailing dis
order, but pursued the even tenor Of his
way as if nothing had happened. No
doubt he has become accustomed to
these occurrences, and hence they have
no effect upon him or his preaching I'M
less they tend to make him little more
harsh in his preaching and uncoGn-
promising with all forms of what he
calls sin.

IT IS A PUBLIC SCANDAL.

Elsewhere we give glance at the
management of the State Institution for
the deaf, dumb and blind It's board of
management is disgrace to the decent
and orderly administration of State
institution. The majority of the direc-
tors are not qualified in any respect and
have no. conception of the duties with
which they are charged.
1t is public scandal that SO import
ant q State institution should be domi-
mated by negro ward politician, and
there is no denunciation too severe of a
Governor who will be guilty Of putting
unit men in control. The Governor
knows the kind Of Ihen he has named
and is largely responsible for the mis-
cradle meanness that characterizes the
actions of his appointees. Referring to
the eliminating disgraceful action of the
board, the Wilmington Messenger says:
eff man who never saw the
ocean, never was aboard Of great
steamer or any other vessel, was
selected by the owner of it to take
charge as captain some people
would say the owner was a fool.
When the trustees of State blind
and deaf institution selects as boss
of it, to run and show the blind
how to see and the deaf to hear. a
fellow who knows nothing in the
world about it, was never in one
before in his life probably, is a
superlative ignoramus, then there
are other fools who say the selection
is good and wise one. This is the
trick played by the Russell gang on
the board by electing one negro
Perry as superintendent Of the negro
department in the deaf and dumb
and blind asylum"
