Duck Eggs in an Albumen Factory.

Near Chingkiang, China, is a great al
humen factory, for the utilization of the
duck eggs which are produced in that re-
gion in enormous quantities, tiocks of
1000 and 5000 ducks being by no means
uncommon. The eggs are broken at the
rate of from 10000 to $1,000 per day by
women who separate the white from the
yolk, the former being carefully cleaned
and dried until they resemble fish glue.
when they are packed in 400-pound cases
lined with zinc. The yolks are passed
through sleeves into twenty-five gallon re-
ceptacles, mixed with salt and horax
solution, packed in 5OO-pound barrels and
used in Europe for preparing and dress
ing articles of superior quality. The al
bumen finds ready market in England,
France and Germany for dyes for the
best cotton goods.-Philadep Press

IT WAS A SELFISH MISSION.

"Col. Wilson's gallant fight against the confirmation of McCord was an anti-illegal bond fight" says the Courier. Everybody in the ter ritory knows that Col. Wilson's gal lant fight against the confirmation of McCord had nothing to do with bonds legal or illegal. According to his own admissions in Washing ton he was sent there by a syndicate from Phenix for purely selfish and personal ends. Governor Franklin, Treasurer Tom Parrish and other democratic officials thought that if they could only prevent McCord's confirmation, the appointment would hang fire for several months and they would continue 10 hold on to their offices. This is 6 matter of fact and history, and trying to boost Wilson into congress by making him self-sacri6cing martyr in this affair is too thin. The action of democratic officials in this matter for their own selfish purposes dis gusted great many democrats at the time, and they were outspoken in their opinions at the time. Will son went to Washington in the hopes of being able to hold on to his job. He failed, and made himself the laughing stock, both of congress men sud senators, as we'll as of his democratic friends at home.

JOHN BURNS FOR SHERIFF

The most serious charge that has
 bsen brought against John Burns, the republican candidate for sheriff,
 thus far, is that be once worked for the United Verde and Pacific rail.
 way company, which is sn ofshoot
 and protege of the United Verde Copper company.
 Candor compels us to admit the truth of this too, but he quit that employ voluntarily several months ago.
 A second charge by implication but not openly made is that the above company is supporting him for sberif. This one is absolutely false, as Mir. Burns is not a man who could be used as a tool of any individual or corporation, hence the above corporation would have no use for him as sheriff.
 Another very senseless charge, one almost too silly 10 be worthy of mo- tice, which was first made against him by the Jerome News, but which has since been echoed by the demo cratic paper of Prescott, is that he IS portiy man, hence should not be elected. This of course needs no mention otherwise than to call at tention to the straits of desperation bis opponents are in Wien they have 70 resort to such a silly charge.
 Mir Burns is veteran of the civil war and ever since being mustered out of the army in 1864, has spent his time in the great west. He freighted into Prescott away back n the sixties, was in business in Colorado and also fought Indians in that country, and served in the sherifs office in Wyoming.
 In railroad matters he worked his way up by his energy and attention to business from a brakeman to the position of superintendent. He is fearless and brave in the discharge of any duty devolving upon him and his years of experience makes him thoroughly competent and qualified to till the position of sher- if.
 Yavapsi county will honor her self by electing him to the position. John Burns will donor the position by the faithful and eff fcient manner il which he will dis charge the duties of the office.

IT PUZZLES THEM

"A vote for Brodie is a vote to endorse the gold platform" says our democratic friends.
 But Brodie may be able to secure statehood for the territory.
 You can't fool those eastern peo pie, as they know Arizona is for free silver" IS the inconsistent reply re ceived.
 They start out by asserting that Brodie's election would be an en dorsement of the single standard and would be so looked upon by peopleiof the east and wind up by saying you can't fool those people as they know Arizona is for free sil- yer. Oh, what inconsistency of ar gument!

TODAY'S TELEGRAPH!
SPECIALS TO THE JoUBNALMINER,

Denver, Oct. l7.-A sleet blizzard is raging east of here. Telegraph wires all down. There is no tele graphic communication today from any point east of Kansas. All trains coming west are eight hours late.
 San Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. l8.- At noon today the United States took formal possession of the island of Porto Rico. The transfer of sov- ereignty of this rich island was made with very impressive ceremon- ies. All government buildings for the first time in their history are flying the American flag this alter noon. The natives are dery enthu- siastic over the change. General Brooke will remain in control until a military governor is appointed for the island.
 ConstsntInople, Oct. 1s.-The I'm perial yacht Hohenzollsrn, with the Emperor and Empress of Germany on board, arrived at the Dardenelles yesterday.
 San Francisco. Oct. lS.-Eight hundred troops embarked on the transport Senator today and at l o'clock sailed for Manila. They are the second Oregon infantry and Battery D, of the California heavy artillery.
 Margate, England, Oct. 1s.-The British ship Blenfeld from New York, burned of this place early this morning. Eleven of the crew and the captains wife and children perished.
 Washington, Oct. 16.-It is eX- pected that the decision of the sec retary of the navy that all the vessels purchased during the war be re- tained in the navy will cause boom in American ship building. There is now an unusual demand for ships flying the American flag and the extending commerce of the United States makes a scarcity of ships.
 Washington, Oct. 1s.-The quar- termaster's department of the army is arranging to transport a reasona- ble amount of Christmas presents to American soldiers m Manila. The steamer will be started from San early in November. Friends of the soldier boys who wish to forward boxes of gifts can correspond with the quartermaster general.
 New York, Oct. 1S.-A Herald dispatch from Washington says the war department has received a de- tailed description of the fortifca- tions of Havana. Besides others there are 45 new guns. They are principally Hontoria and Ordenez. There are a few Krupps. The strength of the Spanish garrison in Havana is about 100000, evenly di- vided between the regulars and the volunteers.

STATEHOOD THE pEslpERATuM

A Biblical expression might be parsphrased to suit the present po- litical conditions in Arizona as fol lows: ''SeeS ye first the sovereignty of statehood for Arizona, and all other things will be added to your wants." With Arizona admitted as state and three votes in congress, she will be in a position to do some thing towards advancing her own interests as we'll being able to par ticipate in questions of national i'm portance. As 8 territory all the shouting that any party can do counts for nothing as We have no vote in congress.
 With Col. Wilson in congress stateh pod is out of the question even the colonel himself, We think will admit this. His friends do, at least.
 With the election of Col. Brodie, admission is both possible and probable. We do not claim that it will be absolutely cer tain but we do claim that the chances are very much better than with a man not in harmony politi- cally with the administration or with the majority in congress.

RIGHT MAN FOR THE POSITION

For district attorney the republi- cans of the county have placed in nomination a very able and compe- tent man in the person of J. H. Col lins of Jerome. MT. Collins is a thorough westerner having resided for several years in California prior to coming to Arizona. He held of- fcial positions in that state and ac- quilted himself in them in such 6 way as to win the admiration and respect of his political opponents. While being man of very decided and positive opinions on all ques- tions aud while a"ting in accordance with his convictions of duty, justice and right, he never attempts to in- terfere in any way with the convic- tions or opinion of others. In eth CT words, he is broad gauged and liberal in his dealings with bis fel- low men, willing to accord to all others the same privelege of liberty of thought and action that he exer- cises himself. He is learned law yer. logical thinker and a very fluent and eloquent speaker, quail ties which are requisites to success in his profession.
 During his residence in this cnun- ty be has demonstrated his ability as 6 lawyer on numerous Occasions by the success he has achieved for his clients.
 This office is a very important one to the taxpayers. The district at torney is the legal adviser of the board of Supervisors. Claims against the county, if there is any question as to their validity, are referred to him. All legal matters pertaining to the county's interests must be passed upon by him. The prosecu- tion of all criminals devolves upon him and it is all important that the man who fills the position should be possessed of such ability that no re- tainer fees should be paid to anyone to assist him. All of these require ments are happily combined in Mir. Collins and taxpayers will be voting for their own best interests by east ing their vote for J. H, Collins for distri, attorney.

 Democratic papers find 1t 6 pretty difficult task to write on both sides of the question, that you can't fool the people of the east by electing a republican, and at the same time trying to frighten the people from doing so on account of the moral effect. They are trying to hold on to both horns of the political di-
 emnF. and in doing so they make ludicrous spectacle of themse s. If Col. Brodie iss elected, and state hood is secured, a congressman al d two senators could do a whole lot of good for Arizona. If Wilson is elected, he can do absolutely noth- ing for silver, nor can be secure statehood so that future representa- tives could have votes and could ii- rect them so that they would bene- fit the commonwealth Of. Arizona. The fact is that democrats now, as they always have done. place par tisanshiP above everything else. There is not'.a man in Arizona that | does not know that Col.

which is not put in circulation m Arizona. By far the larger amount goes there. In this way, the county Is a great big benefit to the owner of the mine. So far as mutual ben efts are concerned, the credit side IS overwhelmingly m favor of the county. Yet no one begrudges the profits realized from the property. It is worth to the owner, so far as net rro6ts are concerned, whole lot more than SlO0OOO0O0 of gov ernment bonds would be. It l. as sessed for psltry sum of a little over SIOO,OOO, or scarcely for two thirds of the amount of slngle months output. These are cold facts and simply go to show where the selfish interests of the owners lie in this matter. It IS not matter of politics, it is a matter of cold blooded business with this Courier styled republican management" to try to get men of their liking in of- fee, and democratic voters are asked to help them in the scheme. Why, bless our contemporary's innocent old soul, instead of attacking the copper company, one cannot but si- mire its ssgacity and cold blooded selfshness in working for its own in- terests in this little game of politics. Corporations are powerful sly" says our contemporary. This par ticular one no doubt chuckles in its sleeves every time it thinks about how nicely it manipulated that democratic convention and knocked Jim Lowry of his political perch, and saw Henry Ross drop from his political pinnacle, scarcely knowing what struck him. Slyi We'll, We should say so. Devilish sly.

na-not one of them hut would sac rafce even life for him if need be. Colonel Brodie will be m the terri tory m a day or two and will see our citizens SO far as possible, and will ask for their support in the coming election. He IS a man worthy of their most hear;y support and so true is this that should the territory fail to elect him the fact would set us back many a year in the recogni- ton We want as a people at Wash ington. But the people of Arizona will elect Colonel Brodie. That by alty to the nations interests that led them first into the field against Spanish bsrbarity cannot lead them to turn down one of the brayest of her citizens to lay aside the imple- ments of peace and go forth in the defense of humanity. Arizona's record for loyalty and prompt ac- ton in the war with Spain has given her people reputation second to none and they do not propose to mar that reputation now at the de- mand of mere politicians. Colonel A. O. Brodie is an able, capable man
 for delegate to congress; a man who has many strong influences in the east that will work with him, 6 man who is not all wind and pomposity, a man who will be able to make 6 state out of the territory as certain lY as he is sent to congress and for Arizona to be a state means general prosperity for every interest in the territory. The uncertainty of our laws, the uncertainty of our courts, will pass away as statehood comes to us aud capital will seek us anew aud for purposes of our develop ment rather than to simply secure loans.

Yuma county democrats have nominated E. s. Ives, of the much condemned prison contract fame, as their candidate for the council. Now, why does not every democratic paperin the territory, which has been bowling about this nefarious prison contract, stand on it's hind legs and issue 6 mournful howl about the Hughes prison contract. Just imag- inc Colonel Wilson, who went to Washington to defeat McCord for governor, on account of that 60 called infamous contract" standing on the same platform and running for office side by side with one of the parties to that contract. Even our democratic contemporary of Prescott has not been heard to re- mark anything of that infamous business" of late. Political consls- tency is not a democratic jewel though. Sincerity is equally un- known to democratic politics. To bs sincere one will naturally be con- sistent. The taxless s. F. P. & P. is one thing, while the United Verde & Pacific railroad, enjoying the priv ileges of tax exemption also, but owned Ly the Hon. w. 4. Clark, of Montana, who is a possibility as 6 democratic senator from the future state of Arizona, is another horse of entirely different color. A prison contract executed by Hughes, but modified materially in favor of the territory bv Governor McCord, is infamous, but then with MT. Ives, the other party to the contract on the democratic ticket-well, that is different. It certainly does seem as if the independent voters of this territory would tire of the glar- ing inconsistencies of their leaders and would be teachers and realize | the hollowness of their professions.

Prescott and Eastern Excursion.
 Between 15O and 200 people vrs ited Mayer yesterday on the occa sion of the initial excursion over tho Prescott & Eastern railroad to cele- brate its completion. The train which consisted of two combination cars, two regular passenger coaches and private car number 98, left Prescott at S:30 a. m., arriving q, Mayer at l0:30.
 Many of the excursionists carried their lunch with them, and upor the arrival of the train there they scattered out over the hills in little groups, the principal place of in. terest being the onyx quarries which, at present, are lying idle. Lunches were partaken of and strolIs taken in the immediate vicinity un- til one o'clock, when the start on the return trip was made. The trip and the little outing seemed to be enjoyed by all. The track of the P X E. IS a marvel for a new road, as if has been surfaced up until it is solid and as smooth as an old road. The road was opened for traffic on Satur- day, and is already common cing to do quite business.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inAamed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets infamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can betaken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by cstarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free.
