Western Investments Again.

The failure of the New England loan
and trust company recently was as
much of surprise to it's small army of
patrons as was the Kelley company's
collapse, though it is to be hoped that
the results will prove less disastrous.
Just how much paper of this company
there is in this section would be difficult
to determine, but that the holdings are
large DO one questions. Those interest
ed are awaiting with interest an official
statement from the receiver, most of
them feeling confident that they will
finally be compelled to shrink very little
on their loans.
However, the losses fall heavily on
Windham comfy, and will have ten
dency to further depress business
throughout the state. 1t would not be
surprising if $2,000,000 CT Vermont
money were involved in this failure,
though, as before stated, there is no wav
to get at the actual facts unless per.
chance the receiver should publish the
list of investors, which is not likely to be
zone. Two or three parties at least had
all their savings with this company.
The New England loan and trust com
pany was thought to be one of the
soundest in the list, and its failure will
shake public confidence to an extent that
people with small savings will be exceed
ingly 10th to send them hereafter out of
New England for investment.
Lafayette Day.
Gen. Grout issued proclamation Oct.

Lafayette Day" to be observed with
appropriate and patriotic exercises by
all teachers and all pupils in all schools
in the state, and with contributions for
the monument to be unveiled in Paris on
United States Day." July a. 1900, and
which shall stand as witness to, the
memory of this noble patriot.
The metropolitan papers and some
state newspapers as well have iumped
to the conclusion that the hotels of st.
Adams decided not to close on the con-
dition that they be allowed to keep their
bars running, says the st. Adams Mes.
senger. This is an injustice to both the
hotel men and the business men. The
bars have been all closed and the hotel
proprietors are trying the experiment to
see it they can live and keep first class
hotels without running a bar That is
all they were asked to do.

II is matter Of sincere regret to
his many friends that S. W.-Landon

Just the kind Of man that the state
needs in this work. His service in
the educational field has been most
excellent. He is sound in his views
in this department and would lead
into broader fields. He is in hearth

the best in education and may be
relied on, not only to take no back

add vigor to the entire educational

every serious minded friend of edu-
cation will say "amen."

FIRE AT THE JEROME SHELTER
The United Verde Copper Company
 Assay Office Nearly Destroyed

Last evening about 10 o'clock the people Of Jerome were startled by hearing the thirty-mile siren at the smelter blowing an alarm of fire. Soon the sky was lurid from the reflected blaze. Nearly every man in town hur- ried up the mountain to the shelter, hoping to be of some service in saving the property of the company. Arriv-
 ing at the turn Of the road above the company's store, it was discovered that the company's assay office was in flames, and for a few moments burned fiercely, but the admirable work by the company fire brigade. soon got the fire under control and finally extin- guished it, confning the damage by fire to the upper story. Nobody seems to know how the fire originated. It was first discovered bursting through the roof. The fire did but little dam age to the chemical laboratory, origi- rating as it did in or near the roof, or to Superintendent Giroux's office,
 both of which were on the lower floor.

HE PREFERRED WAR.
Mir. Kiosk Had an Exciting Matri-
 mOnial Experience.

Among the members of the company being organized by Captain Crenshaw is Andrew Kozik. A week ago MT. Kczik was a peaceful citizen engrossed in the occupation of mining. His ca reer only proves how swift and unex- pected transition from one condition to another may be. Last Monday night Mir Kozik was married on the often mistaken theory that he was promoting his own happiness. Within less than a week he has learned that there are situations much more hor- rible than war. He does not feel now like going back to the tame and hum- drum life of a miner, yet he yearns for something little more tame and humdTum than the existence inte which he suddenly plunged himself So he seeks happy medium amid yellow fever in upholding the national honor, in the meantime nudging Span iards in the matter of the Maine

of the contents removed from the building before the fire got under full beadway. We learn that Mir Wilkes Johnson, mining engineer, lost some of his personal effects but saved his instruments. This is the second time the company assay office has been Ge- strOyed by fire, and on the former oc- casiOn the loss was total, however, and included a number of other build ings beside the assay office. The dam age by last nights fire was limited to the roof and upper story of the build- ing. The only damage to the lower story and contents was from water. Men were set to work this morning clearing away preparatory to rebuild ing the upper story.-Jerome News

METHODS OF DEATH
Postal SySfem After Which Diners Might Be Modelled.
Satisfactory Adjudication of Mat ter Between inc Supervisors and fhe Board of Control.

Death is much more blessed and beneficial than most people imagine 1t to be. It is commonly regarded only as last long sweet sleep, into which the cares and tribulations and pains of the world cannot enter They are all left on the hither side of the Styx. Charon has always stubbornly re- fused to ferry them over. If the de- parted have pains and troubles on the vther side, their surviving friends do not know But eternal sleep is not the only kindly office of death. It is also the great solver of problems which vex poor, weak mortals.
 Now there is the case of Francisco Beltoni, an old, decrepit Mexican wo- man, who until 3:30 p. Tn. of yester- day was an inmate of the county hos pital Now she is an inmate Of the potter's field
 A week ago an effort was made to put her into the asylum. She was committed in due form, taken out to that institution, and was rejected by the superintendent on the ground that she was not an insane person within the meaning of rules lately laid down by the board Of control. but was rather q helpless imbecile So she had lost
  gaining one at the asylum and there wes no place to go but to the grave or the jail, those two hospitable recep- tacles at whose gates none may knock in vain. But as she was not quite ready for tie grave she was taken to jail.
 Then the authorities got to figuring about what was to be done with her next. 4 motion was made to have Superintendent Hamblin of the asy lum cited before the probate court for contempt, but Judge Grouse refused to issue the citation Then another mo- tion was made to cause a mandatory writ to issue against the slperintend- ent from the district court In the meantime the board of supervisors made arrangements for the tempo rary care of the old woman at the hospital again. The clerk of the board was also directed to write the board of control, making representa- tions of the woman's condition, which it was feared might not have been un- derstood before The clerk wrote the letter on Friday. It was thought that a reply might be received yester- day. certainly not later than Monday. when the board meets next.
 But notwithstanding the excellent nostal system of the United States, whose -'safety. celerity and dis patch" have become household words among nations, there is another ahd

surer system, and Death is the post master general. While, perhaps, the letter Of the clerk of the board of supervisors, or the reply to it was lying in the Phoenix postofice. a postal carrier of death brought a communication to the old woman requesting her to come at once. She got up and went, and now neither the hospital nor the asylum can have her. There VII be no cita- tions for contempt, no mandamus pro- ceedings, no more correspondence be- tween the board of supervisors and the board of control. Death accomplished in an instant what might have been dragging in the courts for weeks, and even if it had been adjudicated in the courts somebody would have been dis satisfied and aggrieved. Now every body is satisfied and the old woman has a place to abide in. Blessed is death No wonder those who are about to die. salute him.

Another Inquiry About the Wandering
 Young Man.

The current number Of the War Cry a Salvation Army journal, contains an inquiry respecting the abiding place of Fred Wallace Sharon. The in- quirer is a brother who lives at San Francisco. When last heard from Sharon was at Purcell, Indian Terri tory. The Republican at one time or another has printed great deal about young Sharon, whose chief aim in life seems to be to keep out of the knowledge of his relatives.
 Sharon is a nephew of the late Sen ator Sharon of Nevada. He came to Phoenix nearly two years ago accom- panied by S. B. Helmuth and an ei- derly woman.s probably his mother. They lodged for time at the Hotel Adams and afterWard took house on North Center Street. Sharon was in receipt of monthly remittanees from some one connected with the Sharon estate A year ago he left here for the northern part of the territory, say ing he was going to work on COW ranch. After he left, registered let terS addressed to him accumulated in the postoffice and couple of months later a letter was received from his mother inquiring about him. Then other letters of inquiry from other rel atives were received at the offices of The Republican and the sheriff. Finally an uncle wrote, saying that he had heard from him at Frog Tanks and had sent him some money.
 Early this year his mocner wrote again, saying that he had been located in the Indian Territory.
