A SABBATH DISCUSSION
Regarding the Unpaid Balance Of a
 Horse DGctor Bill.

As people were returning from them were attracted by quarrel be- tween two men on the east side of the court house plaza. One of the men seated on horse, was tall, clustering and wore huge goggles. The other was standing on the sidewalk. He was smaller, had red mustache and a quie; manner. 8e-ween them was a deep ditch. They were engaged in the discussion of a financial question One of them owed the other a dollar for factoring a horse. At last the man om the hprse cried: You'd bet ter not get me to jump onto you. If I do, I'll climb all ever you an there won't be enough left of you to make gun-wad-"
 +I dcnft know whether you can or n,ot,' replied the other man; 'I wouldn't mind gloin' rou-d in the all ley jiSl to find out. You're b:gger'n me, but that don't spell nothin'.' % You're a iar," rettor,ed the first: "I ain't no bfgger'n you.'
 At this point the coDlbstants re- solved themselves into a committee on weights and measures. They dis cussed their comparative sizes for awhile in an apparently friendly man ner. But at last it furnished new casus belli and the man in I,he big gog- gles had recourse again to the USE of improper language. The discussion soon reverted to the original question. the unpaid horse doctor bill. The crowd seeing the hopelessness of a fight withdrew, so that how the affair terminated is not irown. But there was nlo cororar's inquest in this pre- cinct yesterday.

A MISSOURIAN OF NOTE.
A Man Who Raises Cattle and Endows
 Colleges

MT. D. Rankin of Tarkio, Mo, ar- rived in the ely yesbe,iday morning. MT. Rankin is one ot the very wealthy men of the state and is, perhaps, the most extensive stock raiser and ship per in the state. His shipments from his own farms amount to about 10000 head of cattle yearly. These go out during the shipping season in three
 1ainloads week. The three years preceding last year, said MT. Rankin, made up a trying period for the Mis- souri farmer as it was for the farmer, ranchman and cattleman everywhere else in l[he United States. Another face has been put on both farming and the cattle business, So that those who stayed with it are likely now to reap the reward of their faith that it would come out all right in the end. MT. Rankin expected 10 make purchases of cattle on his western trip, but the prices are not satisfactory. By sat
 sfactory'' is not nece essarily meant ''highl" They may be still higher af- ten awhile and still be quite satis factory. A satisfactory price is one which a buyer can afford to- pay, knpw ing that he can sell again at still higher one. The future of the cattle business, that is, the near fu,ure, cannot be absolutely foretold. That it will be as it is now, prosperous. is certain; but what heavy northern buy CTS are waiting for is some indication of the exact extent Of the prosperity.
 Beside being a wealthy man and very busy business man, MT. Rankin is the foremost philanfhrOpist of his part of the state He wholly endowed and perhaps continues BOW to assist in the support of Tarki0 college, the chief ehucal fonal institution in north western Missouri It slhI1ould be

Chicago, Jan. 30.

BGvALvEs AND BIvALvEs.
Tremendous Consump, ion of Oysters
 in Ar:zona's Metropolis.

It will surprise the reader to know that the tCDthsome oyster has a strong hold on the palate of the lover of shell fish in PhbendX. The bulk of the re- ceipts come from Berwick bay, on the Louisiana coast, and as many as 5,000 have been delivered by Wells, Fargo 6 Co. in a day The average since January first has been a daily delivery of 1000. These are generally culled and are classed selec,s and mixed.
 The tempting cocktail, usually had at saloons as an appetizer, is the blue point, a small oyster, but pleas ing to the taste. On the coast of Cal ifornia, Oregon and Washington there is smaller oyster than the blue point and it IS over there that the cocktail orig: mated. The ing: eiients that assist in this decoction are wor- cester sauce, tomato catsup and a dash of pepper and sak. It is told of a lady from the coast, who had become. accustomed to eating the little fel- lows in quantities of 100 at 6 sitting, that when she ordered a lunch to be sent to her in an eastern hotel that she ordered hundred oysters, whioh h nIarly panlyzed the wal He brought the eastern product and did not wait to see how the lady disposed of them. After eating heartily the lady dumped the residue, fully three fourths, down a convenient ash chu e
 Speaking of the local supply, there are some half dozen dealers who handle oysters, Ia:, aurants and h3tel keepers receiving theiIS direct. One res<auIant reports having dlshed up as high as 1,500 in one day. The oysters brought here are sold as low as 20 cen;s per dozen, raw, at stores and cost perhaps 12 cents a dozen laid down. The Berwick bay oyster is taking precedence over the eastern livalve in Arizona on account of the shorter haul.

Everything 10 be Sacrificed to Haste ia Showing that the Vote Last Friday Night Was by Nc Means the Sense of Congress.

Washington, Jan. 30.-It is the in as far as possible the action of the senate in passing the Teller resolution by killing that declara tion of the sense of congress, regarding the pay menrt of the governments coin bonds in silver, on an aye and nay vote in the house this week. This will be the feature of the proceedings.
 While the full republican strength in the house cannot be combine against the resolution, no doubt is ex- their business to canvass the situa- ton that the majority against f. will be decisive As soon as the resolu- lion is reported back from the ways and means committee, which may be tomorrow, the rules committee will bring in a special order for igs con- sideration.
 The time allowed for debate is likely to be brief, as the leaders do not believe there is any necessity for d. PlOtld dCSCu uSUdlS, luOIEONSI, long discussion would measurably de- crease the very purpose they have in view; namely, the prompt and de- cisive negative reply to the senate's declaration. The remainder of the week will be devoted uo the appropria- tion bills.

DISMISSAL OF MRS. ROBERTS.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The senar C committee on civil service and re- trenchment will hold a meeting to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock, when MT. Aliens resolution providing that the secretary of the interior be called on for all charges against Mrs. M A. Roberts, who was removed from the pension office last May, be sent to the senate, will be considered.
 There is apt to be more disappoint- ment in regard to this matter on the part of Mrs. Roberts friends. When rhe resolution was referred to the committee, MT. Allen was given to understand on the floor of the senate and on that statement he consented to let the resolution be referred to the committee instead of having it adopted by the sena,e, as he at first insisted upon.
 Under the resolution the committee is not given authority to carry on any investigation of the Roberts case. A, the meeting of the committee to- morrow morning the matter will be fully considered and some course ot action will be decided on-

DEFoLIATIoN OF MIR. M'G,-NN.
Bender. t:he Trespasser, to Be Tried
 This Afternoon.

Unless something unforeseen hap pens, the most eVenful thing billed for this town today is the trial of the said John Bender It will oc- cur in Justice Johns pne's court at 2 o'clock. Bender is charged, as most of the readers of The Republican know, with having trespassed upon the countenarca of Michael McGirn and with having destroyed tke foliage and uprOU5ed the shrubbery growing thereon. Bender seems to 'be utterly without any defense, for many per sons witnessed the act pf vanda-isn aud some of the sdhrubbery is now on exhibition, having been made to am plify the coat of arms of the Palace saloon, a cheTub couohant.
 But thal was only the beginning of the outrage. Bender was drunk on that night and was drlnk tine next morning in jail. The first thing ha demanded after breakfast was a war rant for the arrest of MT. MeG.nn. It was issued and MT MoGimn was brought into court, where he entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of assault, and indicaued that he would set up in his pleadings today, self defense. All right thinking people hope lthe court will see a way clear to discharging MT. McGinn forthwith, even before he gets into court. If one may not act in self defense wtlen his
 whiskers are being pulled out by the
 roots there is certainly no occasion justifying resistance to unlawful force The phrases "self defense" and
 driven to the walP' may as we'll be
 erased from the statute books and the violent and lawless ought to be given a free run.
 As for Bender, the court cannot deal too harshly with that sacrilegious person. He should be taught once 1 for all that he is not the tornado tth tt he thinks he is; nor is he even a vio-
 lent wind, nor yet a gentle zephyr, to. toy with other peoples whisken.

SVnopses of Sermons in Phoenix
 Churches Yesterday.

Churches Yesterday.
 BAPTIST CHURCH-At the Bap- tist church on Sunday morning Rev. Dr. Halsey gave a sermon on prayer We Prepare for It? How May We AccepcabIy Offer It?'
 Prayer is the souls community with God. It is coming to him by that new and living way cast up for the re- deemed to walk in it. It is coming to God ill the name of Him without whom no man cometh unto the Father. Prayer is the Christians vital breath, the Christians native air, his watchword at the gates of death. He enters heaven with prayer" Prayer is the outpouring of the heart of one who feels the need Of his heavenly Father and knows where to find Him. We need to pray in order to enjoy the presence of God. He draws nigh to those who draw nigh to Him. He takes no pleasure ip the proud, but smiles upon the humble. To know Him is life, and to know Him we need to come near to Him-to associate with Him. He is not far from every one of us, but He is especially near to the lowly and contrite of heart who feel their need of Him and petition for His presence and benediction.
 The Master teaches us how to pray It is by coming in faith, believing, to Him who has all power and who is all love, committing our way unto Him casting our care upon Him and pray
