TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. IS, 1883
A NORTHERN republican newspaper

says:
What would our Southern friends
think of US up North if the editors
here were to indulge in the rehearsal
CT the damnable treatment by South.
ern soldiers of our soldiers in Libby
and Andersonville prisons ?"
Why, they would be obliged, as such
a rehearsal would afford them an op-
p,rtunity of repeating the indis-
pu:able proof that Confederate troops
in Southern prisons received the same
treatment that was accorded Northern
prisoners in the same prisons, and
that the latter's lack of food and medi-
Gre was due to their own government,
that refused to allow the South to
import any of either from the North
or abroad, and which refused to ex-
change prisoners, or even to accept
their own, without exchange. Such
Northern rehearsals as those referred
to would not be at all Objectionable to
the South, and if they would afford the
South-haters in the North any gratih
cation, there is nothing to hinder them.

metallists, and that there never has been

HOUSE..

! Grafton of the army appropriation bill.
When the House adjourned yesterday
point OF order had been raised against

point of order.
After some discussion it was tempo
! rarily passed over. Mr.. Sayers raised
point of order against the provision

Mr.. Bailey objected to any limitation

debate Mr.. Hit entered upon general
explanation of the provisions of the
bill.
AS soon as the enacting clause had
been read Mr.. DeArmond offered an
amendment to recognize the Cuban in
surgents as belligerents. Mr.. Hit
raised the point of order that the
amendment was new legislation and
obnoxious to the rules of the House
Mr.. DeArmond, speaking to the point
of order, said he fully understood the
rules of the House which were
designed to suppress, when de
sired, the will of the House.
The chairman of the foreign affairs might, he
said, feel constrained to raise this point Of
order but he reminded the House that there
still resided in its Judgment the power at any
time. at any place, on any bill to place what
the House believed should be there. For
months he declared, those in control of the
House had declined TO allow the House to
consider what the people of the country,
without regard to party. desired; namely, that
Congress consider and act upon this question
of recognizing the beligerency of Cuba.

Company K.

Quite number of the membership of Company K, of this place, turned out to drill last Saturday evening, and the interest taken by the men is oD the in- crease in proportion as the news indi- cates that war with Spaln is closer.
 Captain Scott says that the company,
 at no time sincei it was organized, nearly
 six years ago, has ever been in better
 condition than it is at present. Lieu
 tenants Peterson and Jenson are both model officers, and the non-commis- stoned officers are excellent soldiers. While we are on this subject we would sav that great deal of senseless twad- dle, that passes Tn some quarters for wit, is indulged Tn at the expense of the members of Company K. when commenting on thelr probable attitude in case of war. The boys are not seek ing war, and neither are they making the air tired with thelr jingo talk of what should be done and what they would do, but they are quietly prepar- ing themselves for any emergency, and if they are called for not one of them but will respond and perform hls full duty. The men of the company will conduct themselves just like any other set of Americans, and follow the flag to the worlds rim or over it if need be. This may not be official, but the funny folks will find out that it is the truth should the emergency arise.

Horrible Deed.
1 Mesa Free PrcSS.l


 telegram was received in Mesa last Monday from Bishop A. F. Mcdonald at El Paso, conveying the sad intellig- ence that his wife had been murdered The information in regard to the matter was meagre, but it seems that Mir. Me Donald has gone to Fl Paso, something over hundred miles away on business, and Mrs. Mcdonald had renamed at home in charge of the store and post office. During tue day some Mexicans came to the store and after killing the aged lady with an ax plundered the store. AS soon as the murder was dIs- covered by residents of the colony Colonia Garcia, Chihuahua-a courier was at once dispatched for MT. Macdon- aid. When he was found Tn Fl Paso he at once telegr aphed here to his son Wallace who left Monday night to join his father. The tragic death of Mrs. Macdonald brings mourning to many homes in Mesa. She and her husband were among the first settlers on the Mesa and he was President of this Stake They lived here for many years, finally removing to Chihuahua. where he hel. ped to establish Colonia Garcia. Mrs. Macdonald will not be forgotten by any who knew her. She will be remembered for noble womanly qualities, her moth erly kindness, and her many Christian graces. She leaves, besides her hus- band, three sons, Wallace, George and James, besides large number of other relatives. She was aged about sixty five years.

Sugar BeetS.
Range News. 1

Range News.
 The announcement is made that Secretary Wilson has received inform ation of the proposed establishment of twenty new manufactories of beet sugar in the United States. These will rep resent a capitalization of something over $i0,0OO,OOO. The favorable atti- tude of the department of agriculture has encouraged capitalists to embark in the new industry, Whenever the farm CTS of any sufficiently large district de- monstrate their ability to produce beets carrying the requisite percentage of sugar, there will probably be DO diff cuIty in enlisting the cooperation of capitalists. It is to be hoped that the agriculturists who undertake experim- ents in beet culture tie coming season will devote more care to the crop and be able to submit better results.
