last night he spoke but a few min
 utes, as he will be the principal speak
 CT at the Jerome meeting tonight. His
 brief speech was an appeal to the peo- pie to vote for their own interests and elect Col. Brodie ADDRESS OF JERRY MILLAY.
 Statehood is nice to follow close upon the election of Col. Brodie," said Col. Millay. When Col Brodie vis- tied President Mckinley to arrange for a reception by the president to the Rough Riders" he was assured that President Mckinley would do all in his power to assist Arizona in secur- ing statehood. Why do we want statehood? We need more water and 8 system Of reservoirs You can build these reservoirs yourselves when Ari- zona becomes a state. Under terri torial government you are restricted to a per cent limit of indebtedness un-- der the Harrison act, which prevents you from building these reservoirs yourselves, as your indebtedness has already reached this limit
 ''I say that we never can have full prosperity until we get statehood With plenty of water our valley will become more productive, and the ad- vancement which Is now retarded will be started upon a new era which will build up a magnificent country here Col. Brodie is the one man who can satisfy this desire Of the people Of Arizona. If he does not get statehood I will write the will every man in this audience withoub cost to him.
 CHAPLAIN SCOTT.
 Chaplain Scott was the last speaker at the opera house meeting. He said: 'I want to talk for my ranch, and for every ranch in Arizona" he began Our vineyards and orchards are cry ing for water. Unless we car get mora water many Of our ranches must go to waste I was compelled to grub out eighty acres of orchards at my ranch because there was not sufficient water to allow them to flourish. We are holding on, waiting and hoping that we may yet be able to save our homes.
 We are subject to double legiSla- tion in Arizona, and for this reason capital refuses to come to our rescue. Reservoirs will net be built until Ari- zona becomes a state. The govern m ent will not help us and won't until we are a state with representation in and the senate. We are tied hand and foot, and there is no hope for us.
 "We must stand by and see our mines undsveloped. Smelling works and reduction plants are needed, and when they come the increased con- sumption of the products of the val leys will add to our importance as an a agricultural community.
 ''Mr Wilson, the democratic candf- date for delegate to congress, admits in his speeches that he can do nothing for us He says he cannot secure statehood. Let the people of Arizona take him at his word and give their to a man who believes he can attain this great desire of the people, Col. Brodie says he can get statehood, and the people have confidence in his ability to accomplish what he sets out to do. He has never failed in the past, and he will not fail now"

THE TIGER REITERATED.
By . Desperate Resource an Acrobat
Scared . Man-Eater Out
Of His wits.

1t will be necessary for the sake of
my story to mention certain pecul-
iarity of tigerA It is admitted by
most experts, among others by pro-
fessional tiger tanners, that this fero-
cious beast IL at heart an arrant cow
ard, and seldom dares, unless rendered
desperate, to attack g strange and
unknown animal. especially IL II APP
pears to be large.
The man was contortionist. When
not actually engaged In his labors, he
would often 60 for long strolls In the
fields to keep himself In trim. One day
he happened to wander farther out
than usual. The country was rather
open, with an occasional tree here and
there. 1t was also undulating. so that
as he walked along he would some-,
times disappear from sight below
ridge and then appear on the next. On
this eventful day, just as he reached
the top Of the mound, what was his
dismay to see tiger right ahead, and
not more than 500 OF 600 yards away.
Before he could hide himself below the
mound the tiger had caught sight of
him and began to bound along toward
him at top speed. Having no means OF
defense. there was nothing for him to
do but TO start race towards the
nearest tree. The tiger, however, was
by far the better runner OF the two,
and was vislbly gaining on his compet-
itor. The man realized that long be-
fore he could reach the goal the tiger
would be upon him. What was he to
do2 In sheer desperation he resolved
upon a desperate scheme as his last
and only resource. Just as he disap-
peared for an instant over ridge he
halted, stretched out his legs at right
angles, curled down his head between
his legs, so as to look at the rear, and
extended his arms upward far and
wide In fantastic manner, like the
sails Of a windmill. At this instant tho

yell was heard, such as had never
pierced the timpanum of tiger, and
the sails OF the windmill began to re-
volve backward and forward as II q
sudden whirlwind had burst uron the
scene. The tiger recoiled-what was
this? There stood q ferocious, star
shaped monster, gigantic against the
sky. Its hideous head was situated In

were made OF this TO the commanding
general and improvements could be
observed for a few days. But in a

broken up this had been corrected tc
