wENr pAcK oN KANsAs c1rY.

A Phoenix travelling man returned yesterday from a trip through the northern part of the territory. He was at a mining camp whose hotel or restaurant was kept by Swedish woman. The guests were seated at the table and the landlady came around to gather statistics as to their tastes. Of each guest she asked, "Vill you talk frash ags or Kansitee ags2" The guests at once elected the "frash ags" without dissenting vote, until the landlady came to a Kansas City drum mer. "What's the difference in price7'' he asked. None, replied the landlady. "Whats the difference in the eggs, them" asked the drpmmer ''vell, I tank none, only one is frash and one is Kansitee," The drummer hesitated a moment and said, Bg George, I hate to go back on my owr town, but guess I'll take the fresi eggs"

PRosPERITYs DAWN.
Seems to be Fading Dream for the Mass
 es of the East.

Correspondence of the Williams News.l
 DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 9.-The advance agent of prosperity, whose alleged triumphal tour of the east was herald ed in the capitalistic press, seems to have stranded somewhere in the in- terior. Atleast have not met him in my travels. I think he takes to the other side of the street when he sees me coming. Of course the farmers were blessed with a bounteous harvest, and that helped matters some. But it would take many bounteous harvests to raise all the mortgages and free all the burdened farmers from debt. Meanwhile the money of the country is still in the vaults of the banks and in the burglar proof safes of the multi millionaires awaiting titled nincom- poops from abroad to sue for the hands and hearts (and diamonds) of favored daughters. And what does it matter if there is untold suffering and distress among the poor? The purple-faced millionaire doles out his annual Thanksgiving and Christmas donations (as matter of customl, makes his peace with Che Lord, pats himself on the back and says, We'll done, thou good and faithful servant.
 The workingmen of this city are not at all satisfied with the advance of prosperity. Many of the big nanu- factories are working on short time and with reduced forces. The Mich igan Stove Works, great concern of its kind, took an unseemly active part in the last campaign, appearing in the street parades with Mckinley floats, etc. Now its employees are working less hours and making less wages than before. I am not dogmatically stat ing reasons for the condition of affairs. am simply stating facts as find them. am anarchist enough to be- lieve, however, that the hoarding of money in great quantities (while fel- low humans are suffering for the actual necessities of life) should be made crime. There is, unquestion- ably, great unrest among the trades men and laboring men, and 1 am
 besieged with inquiries as to the op- portunities in Arizona and the possi- | ble future of that territory. People generally are woefully ignorant of the resources and charms of the land of sunshine. Some of them regard it as a
 wilderness of desert and cacti, rattle snakes and red-eye, Indians and "bad
 men," They were surprised that I had
 not graduated in that class, and won

not hold in court. The argument is that sale ot property for delinquent taxes deprives the delinquent of lis property, which cannot be done with out due process of law; that such due process requires notice to the deiiB- quent; that such notice can be legally given by one of two methods only-by personal service or advertising in newspaper; that notice by postal card is neither personal service nor adver- Using, and consequently illegal.
 With that showing any delinquent can defeat sale and beat the county and territory out of their taxes. Tn thai way few large property holders could deprive tbe county of ter ames the sun saved by omitstzr paeliea- tiou, The Pima county board should guard against that danger by publish ing the delinquent list, as personal service would be far more expensi, e and impracticable as well.

The Delinquent Tax List.
[From the Nogales oasis.l

 It is observable that in Navajo and other counties the boards of super visors have included the delinquent tax lists in their advertisements for bids for the county printing for 1898. This procedure goes contary to the provis- ions of an act passed by the tin horn legislature, approved by the tin horn executive, which abolished publication of the delinquent tax list and provided that delinquents shall be notified by postal card of such delinquency and the day and date of sale.
 No doubt the action above noted was taken advisedly, and it should be emulated by all other county boards in the territory. Several eminent legal gentlemen have assured the writer that abolition of publication of the delinquent tax list is illegal and will

cucumber Pickles.

Wash and wipe carefully the small cucumbers. Put them in an earthen jar and rour over them boiling brine that is strong enough to bear up an egg. Let them stand 24 hours, then wipe them from the brine and place them in clean jars. Boil together in porcelain kettle enough vinegar to cover the pickles, with one sliced onion, one dozen whole cloves, one ounce mus tard seed and three blades of mace. When this boils pour over the cucum- bers, place in each jar tablespoonful of chopped horseradish and stand aside to cool before covering up the jars. These pickles will be ready to use in two weeks, and will keep a year.-To- ledo Blade. sS

A SALT RIVER ADVERTISEMENT.

SALT RIVER ADVERTISEMENT.
 A Phoenix insurance agent was leav- ing the city last Wednesday night on a visit to neighboring town. He was also leaving on scalper's ticket, which bore reasonably accurate de scription of its original purchaser The conductor looked at it and then at the passenger. "There's DO need for you to travel on the cars; you can make better time on your nerve" said he. "How's that?n asked the pas senger. "Look at this ticket, {" replied the conductor; Git says you weigh 40, you're five feet six inches ard have dark eyes and mustache The tiekes agent yog oonght that of must have been color blind, cross-eyesl saa drgsels. Here, you'n weigh 250 pounds, youFs five feet eight or ten, you have bhe eyes, and wheF your mustache That's ali right said the passsng B, "but it needs some explanations. I came to Phoenix six months ago to die. See what this glorious climate has done for me. In order to make the surprise of my friends complete, I've shaved'off my mustache." But your height and eyes-well, never mind :" said the conductor, "that's all right, too; I'll let you go as an advertise ment of the Salt River valley.

The Republican has from time to time animadverted against women att tempting to throw things. Disastrous results are bound to follow, for some unintended target is sure to get hit. The fire at Jerome on Friday night, involving the loss of $40, 900, was the direct result of woman trying to throw lamp out of 8 window at the wide, wide world. The somewhat nnaagar telegraphis aceouut of the holocaust printed in this issue of the Republican does not say what she did actually hit, but the fact that half the town is burned up justifes the infer ence that the lamp landed on some thing combustible and not aimed at.-- Phoenix Republican.

The successful man must know how 10

Storms in the East.

During the past week New York and
tile New England states have been
visited by record breaking storms.
Dozens of vessels were wrecked along
the New England coast and hundreds
OF lives lost. Altogether it was the
worst storm since 1852.
Severe snow storms have RACED IN this
state during the week, but no damage
was done beyond tie delay in trains in
some instances.
Locally, the weather has been blustrY
and disagreeable. All told about six
inches of snow fell, but until last night
it was not cold. Last evening it turned
clear and during the night the ther-
mometer dropped to o below zero.
Indications this morning point to spell
of typical White river weather, viz
cold nights and warm sunshiny days.
