A SAD ACCIDENT.

A very sad accident occurred at Bulls
Bridge, last Tuesday, March l. Earl
Simmons, aged two years and eight
months, youngest child of William P.
and Laura c. Newton, was drowned in a
water barrel. The child had been out of
DOORS about 10 minutes when his older
brother was sept to look for him. He
came running back into the house al
most Immediately and said, 'Papa, Earl
is in the water barrel" Mr. Newton hur-
RED out but it was too late to save him.
The barrel had two covers and they were
both found lying on the ground nearby.
The parents think he was trying to get
water for the hens as the pan used for
that purpose was found moved from its
usual place and nearer the barrel. 1t ia
probable that in removing the under Gov
err of the barrel, which was heavy for sc
small child, his feet slipped, plunging
him in.

LEGITIMATE journalism in Arizona offers little inducement to the man ambitious of place or fortune, says the Silver Belt. The editors ability and influence is used in behalf of others, as a rule his interiors in intellect and character, who rise in political or so- cial prominence from his shoulders, and ingrates, as most public men are, us soon as they think themselves safely landed they kick down the ladder by which they climbed to success. It has been well said that the gratitude of place-expectants is only the sense of future favors.

 In the recent issue of Popular As tronomy Dr. T. J. J. See of Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, A. T., re- viewed the atmospheres of various countries and of various sections of the United States from the astronomers standpoint. According to Dr. See the section in which Flagstaff is located possesses the astronomers ideal at mosphere. The work which that observatory has already accomplished demonstrates that his claim is not exaggerated. Dr. See has given this atmosphere at Flagstaff the specific name of Arizona blue" It extends, he says, from the horizon to the zenith uDbroken by single cloud. "So blue is this sky" he adds, that we notice no appreciable whitening as we ap- proach the sun or the horizon, which is free from dust and seldom obscured by | a cloud, and, of course, never by haze or fog. I have never seen, in any part of tho world, a more impressive scene than the Arizona sky when viewed through the beautiful pine forest which surrounds the observatory. The moon stands out sharply in the most beautiful silver light, and we can see with the naked eye as much detail of her mountains us one commonly sees l elsewhere with on ordinary opera 1 glass." This superb atmosphere, so eloqueutly described by Dr. See, is attributed by him to condition of meteorogical equilibrium produced by local influences and freedom from disturbing currents. With such an atmosphere there is nothing to be
 wondered at when Flagstaff 0bserva- tory outranks all other observatories in the country, for the time it has
 been in existence, in the field of as-
 tronomical discovery.

 IN the Senate last Monday. Mr.

IE the Senate last Monday, MT. Ali
 son called up the conference report on the Indian Appropriation bill and asked that it be agreed to. MT. Jones, of Ar kansas, expressed the hope that the re- port might be rejected, because of the provision which allowed Indians to lease mineral lands on their reserva- tions. The report was rejected, the special grounds of objection being that stated by Mir. Jones and one stated by Mir. Pettigrew, who insisted that the Senate conferees should insist upon the free-homes provision. The s20,OOO ap- propriatioi for preliminary work on the Buttea reservoir was re-instated in the bill and no objection will be made to it. This was done through the per sistent efforts of our delegate, Hon. Mark Smith.
