At Globe, Arizona, couple of weeks
ago Sunday proved to be notable day.
The first thing in the morning-very
early in the morning-a man separated
couple of fighters at a dance, for
which he was shot through the body
and died later in the day. In the after
noon a boy was playing with a calf.
which infuriated the COW mother, and
she gored the child. causing his death.
In the evening saloon keeper went
into his back room and found one of
his patrons dead; the death was attrib-
uted to asthma, as Globe whishey was
never known to kill. What further
tragedies would have occurred in this
quiet town if it had been afflicted with
the accursed boleta system only the
imagination of the nephew of the sage
of Pinal mountain can conjure up

A man who had just sold mine con-
verted himself into temperance lee
ture in a restaurant last night. He was
so drunk that all his faculties except
the power to swear with fuency we're
benumbed. His vision was especially
affected. He mistook dish of dough-
nuts for roast rabbit and refused to ac-
cept the word of a sober companion
and the whole staff Of walters to the
contrary The manners of the man who
sold the mine were so offensive that
many other guests who were occasional
drinkers went out and signed pledge
that they would never sell mine.
Others mentally resolved that they
would never take another drink.-Re-

There are thousand and five hum
dred millions of people upon this earth
to-day. Can you teach them, or any
of them, how to make two blades of
grass grow where only one grew before?
how to smother sigh with smile, to
turn frown into laugh, to distin-
guish facts from fancy, to turn cloud
into a rainbow, to turn despair into
hope, to cast an intelligent ballot, to
have more pleasant homes, to wear more
comfortable clothes, to guard against
sickness, to tortify their bodies against
disease, to live within their income, to
honestly earn and procure more of
llfes luxuries, to give all others every
right they claim for themselves, and to
lead more honorable, manly lives than
some of them now do? If you can do
this, Providence made no mistake in
permitting you to be born in the nine
teenth century.-Ex.

The following is from the pen of a
Missouri editor: "Drink and the gang
drinks with you, swear off and you go
it alone, for the bar-room bum who
drinks your rum has a quenchless
thirst of his own. Feast and your
friends are many, fast and they cut you
dead; they'll not get mad if you treat
them bad. so long as their stomachs are
fed. Steal if you get million, for
then you can furnish bail; it's the great
big thief who gets out on leave, while
the little one goes to Jail. Advertise,
the dollars will come; quit and they
fail to arrive; for how are men who
have money to spend going to know
you are still alive"

War Earnestly Began.
Spanish Forts Silenced.
The City of Matanzas
Captured.
u. S. Fleet Ordered to
Bombard Cuban
Ports.

Just as we were going to press, at
noon Thursday, news was flashed across
the continent that the American squad
ron, under command of Capt. Samp-
son, bad demolished the forts protect
ing Matanzas, the most important port
on the northern coast of Cuba, and
nearest to Key West, Florida, our base
of naval supplies. The object in at
tacking and capturing this point first
was, undoubtedly, for the purpose of
placing land force on the island and
furnishing arms, ammunition and pro-
visions to the insurgent army and feed
ing the starving Cubans. Matanzas is
only few hours run from Key West,
and it is probable American soldiers
are already in Cuba, or at least will be
inside of twenty-four hours.
Hostilities have now begun in earn
est. So far everything has been favor
able to America. Our navy have cap
tured nine prizes on the hign seas.
President Mckinley has issued a
proclamation clearly defining what this
country will consider legitimate prizes.
In this proclamation he allows all ves-
sells that were in American waters re-
ceiving or discharging cargoes, or ves-
sells loaded and leaving foreign ports
before the declaration of war, until the
92st of May to complete their trips
No power can have any just cause of
complaint at this. 1t is extremely lib
eral. Naval officers think too liberal.
AS we went to press news of an en-
gagement between squadrons off the
Philippine Islands, was hourly aptici-
pated.
1t is reported that Sampson has or
ders to commence the bombardment of
every important port on the Cuban
coast.

''The religion that makes people pay

The Arizona Bulletin says: It is true
that several school districts in Graham
county, and no doubt some districts in
all the counties of Arizona, draw more
school money from the county treasury
than the amount they pay into the
county treasury in taxes for all pur-
poses. This is in no way to the dis
credit of the people of these districts,
for it is a public duty to educate the
poor as we'll as the rich, but such con-
dition is to the discredit of school
system that will permit the creation of
school districts where there is no real
necessity for them.

The Phoenix Herald very correctly
says: The man who owes you an honest
bill and refuses TO pay it is not only
sneak thief but coward who gives you
no chance to protect yourself or prop
erty. That sort of individual is not
wanted in public office, no matter what
his politics; he is not wanted in the
community; he is not wanted any where
on earth where honest men do business.

1t may be that Arizona will need her
fighting men at home. The Papagoes,
since the withdrawal of the troops from
the southern part of the territory have
made a raid across the line and attack
ed the Mexican village of Ell Plomo.
It appears the raid was not made for
the purpose of murder. but for cattle
stealing, which business they have been
carrying on quite extensively for sew
eral years, until they were checked by
a detachment of troops sent out from
Huacbuca. AS soon as the troops were
withdrawn they began operations again.
The tribe is said to be several thousand
strong and are we'll armed.
There is another danger threatening
US on cur southern border. According
to recent arrivals from Mexico, the
middle and lower classes in that coun-
try are in thorough sympathy with
Spain in the war just commenced. 1t
is feared that desperadoes who infest
the border of both countries, may or
ganize guerrilla parties for the purpose
of pillage and robbery on both sides of

Assessor Spring says the cattlemen
are beginning to turn In their assess
ments, and that the indications are
that the number of head will be as large
as last year, at least. The Board of
Supervisors have raised the assessment
from $3.50 to $40 per head; SO that if
there be no shortage in the number OF
cattle. the assessment roll will be ins
creased by fully 100000 from this
source alone. Besides this there is a
likelihood of an increase in real estate
in certain parts of the city, where acs
tual valuation has gone up two and
three fold.-Tucson Star,

A cattleman of Kern county, Califor-
MIA, is authority for the statement that
the United States government has Sc
cured options on enough cutie in the
west to sustain an army of 100000 men
been closed, but prices have been fixed
and the government will be supplied
with ample quantities of beef at mod

The war scare has had peculiar ef-
feet on the markets in this country.
There is no sale for beef cattle, while
wheat has scored an important ad-

with no quotations at any price, while
cotton, which has been slow of sale, at
nominal price, has sprung into sud-
den activity at enhanced figures.

When you see straw flying you can guess

Zing. An observer heard "D-n the
Dutch" Now Mr.. ling is no Dutch
man, neither a German, nor was his
father either. He is American born, in
the Badger state. This does not make
him full blooded American, that is, he is
no Indian. But the man is a worker
and strict business man. He accumu-
lated some property, therefore ignorant
envy was a squirting. It resolved to
have fun. Took beer glass containing
petroleum and tried to melt his ice.
This was done about II o'clock at night
in spite Of the watchman and his dogs.
This shows how cunning the culprit is.
