FINED FIFTY DOLLARS,
With Thirty Days in Jail Thrown i,
for Good Measure. .

The police sensation booked for
Mayor Hopes court yesterday morn
ing failed to bring forth the fruit it
WAS expected to yield. Virginia
Thomas. who played the lading female
role. stepped briskly to the stand when
her name was called and proceeded tc
deny in toto the charge filed against
her. The Rev. Shorts. pastor Of tn,
Queen Street Baptist church. followed
her. His statement was clear and to
the point and gave the virtuous Vir-
gin!a's moral character Il black eye
The case was then adjourned until Z
o'clock in the afternoon.
When court reassembled the feature
involving Town Sergeant Giddings.
Who it was alleged. had warned the
woman that her house would be pulled
w;,S taken up. Robert Brown the bar
Der. whose shop is next door to Vir-
Sinii,s house. took the stand Sergeant
Giddings he said. had simply asked
him what he knew about his female
neiShbor and he had told him In
some way one of Browns EMPLOYEES.
a young man named Boyd heard of
tn" contemplated raid. and later. it is
said. the woman was notified to be on
her guard. Boyd, however. cxonor-
at"d the sergeant.
The mayor then quickly summed up
the testimony and informed Virginia
that in his opinion-which, by the way,
is the opinion of nearly everybody else
that knows anything about the woman
and her house-she was guilty and
would have to pay a fine of $50 and go
to Jail for thirty days. George w.
Fields. the colored attorney. represent
ed her and at once gave notice Of APP
peal.
Sergeant Giddings is not satisfied
with his cNonoration and said last
night that he intends to go to the bot
tom Of the matter and find out how
anu where and by whom the report
was started.

the day absorbed I: very large line
Of offerings to liquiuate profits and
the selling for London account was
also very heavy again. total sales for

$4,000 shares. The general demand for
stocks through commission houses was
sufficient to take up these offerings at
Il well sustained level of prices. There
was evidence also of the operation of
bull pools here and there in the list
notably in some of the low priced stocks
which are usually almost inactive ana

 Holidays seem to be dying. out in Arizcna Labor Day was passed oyer without q proclamation even being is sued by Governor Murphy, although it has been the custom to do 50 ever since the national labor law was enact ed. Why this oversight? Lafayette Day, October If, which was S. gen. erally celebrated by the schools throughout the United States, was not observed, so far as we can learn, any where in Arizona. Why this lack Of interest? Why should such important events be allowed to pass unncticed? :? They should receive that official and public importance which will as least arrest the attention Of the school chil- dren, as well as students of higher in stitutions, fer all such public days are based cn principles of historical events, which should be of interest to the growing mind.

 Fer the benefit Of the Star, which appears to, be expressed in the details Of the campaign, and therefore some what indifferent to facts, we will sup ply the information that Labor Day is a national holiday, and Q proclama- tion by the governor Of Arizcna is not essential to it's proper observance. As for Lafayette Day-that falls on oc- toher 19, and yesterday it was ob- served in Phoenix and Governor Mu-- phy made g sh2rt, but spirited, ad- dress to the scholars of the high school.

Arizona republican., 1898-10-20

The voters Of Arizona are getting ready to show General Wilson that the day has passed when a candidate can win by misrepresentation. Wilson assumes in his vociferous declam ations cn dead issues that the people of the territory are lot cf nineompoops. He juggles with facts and figures with the idea, apparently, that the people are not keeping track of the progress Of the country. Only last Saturday night in this town he declared that the foreign trade of the United States was decreasing. Probably he is making the same state meat on the stump while this para graph is being written. It is idle to try to keep up with the current Of un- truth and false reasoning that he has set in motion. He is 9 plain. ordinary, everyday calamity bowler and the voe- CTS will show their lack Of pessimism by putting him to sleep On election day.
Arizona republican., 1898-10-20

if the people Of Arizona take advantage Of the opportunity set bsfore them. l. requires no argument fer them to see that with both branches Of the con- gress republican, and the president 9 republican, the election of republican delegate and of republican legislature by the voters of Arizona would make it well nigh impossible for statehood to be denied us. This is the gospel Col onel Brcdie is preaching, and it is go-d gospel. When the colonel takes the stump in Maricepa county we shall look for unbounded enthusiasm. His is winning fight, and when the voters of this region see him and hear him the cause Of the republican party will receive 3 decided impetus.
