HE CLEARED s1s.
Adolph Miller Realized the Advantage
 ot an Efficient City Government.

:. Adolph Miller. according to his own narrative. had for some time been pitching hay in the vicinity of Mesa He acquired a small sum Of money, a co1iditioa of fatigue and an accumu- Iating thirst which he could no longer satisfy with the saline water of the south side. The more of 1t he drank, the more he longed for beer. MT. Mil Ter came to town three days ago and devoted himself almost wholly to ministering to the imperious and over bearing thirst. It was a good deal like making a rope of sand or pur- suing an impossible occupation. If he went to bed late at night with his thirst apparently satisfied it always awoke him the next morning clamor- ing for more beer.
 Yesterday morning he arose at half past four. He poured down a big drink as a foundation, upon which he immediately erected superstructure of two, tree, mebbe four glass bier" as Mir. Miller later explained in police court. He was not even sure that there were more than four, and per haps a dozen glasses. Anyway, with a proper sense of the fitness of things which could hardly have been expected of one in Mir. Miller's condition, he went back to an alley in the rear of the saloon. crawled into a box with a lot of other garbage beside himself and went to sleep. Officer Kay found him there and took him to jail. He had $24 left. MT. Miller begged that the court be lenient, since he had earned his money by the slow and ar duous process of pitching hay. Re- oorder Jobs explained to him at con- siderable length the beautiful working of the city government and the cost of maintaining it. He also explained the benefits to all Now. for instance, there was MT. Miller himself. If there had been no officer to discover him in the garbage box somebody. would probably have rolled him for that $24. He could therefore we'll afford to pay fine of $5. MT. Miller, who had not taken that view of the matter, thought so, too. He paid it cheerfully and went out with the gladstone air of a man who belonged to a cooperative association which had just declared a | S19 dividend

Republican Convention.

The Republican county convention met in Florence last Saturday anl nominated ticket that has many el, E ments of weakness. There was ID contest except for the office of sheriff Charles 0dell receiving lS votes and .. C. Hockctt z. There. was much bitter feeling engendered over this nomination, and it was openly charged that several delegates had violated their pledged word. The friends of MT. Hoekett are justly indignant There is no doubt that the latter is much the stranger man before the peo- pie, as an open, manly canvass for the nomination had plainly shown. The successful nominee, Mir. Odell, is 4s years old, was born in Sweden, and has been successful rancher on the San Pedro for number of years. He bears an excellent reputation, but even his best friends admit that he E not fitted for the office of sheriff, and there is small likelihood of his elec- tion.
 The following is the balance of the cut-and-dried ticket, which was nOmi- mated by exclamation, there being but one name mentioned for each position
 Courcil-Dr. A. c. Wright.
 Assembly-J. E. Arthur and T. |. Baker.
 Treasurer-W. II. Benson.
 Recorder-C. F. Bennett.
 District Attorney-W. R. Stone.
 Probate Judge-A. T. Colton.
 Supervisors-W- ]. Sehulze and L. E. Graha:u.
 A platform was adopted endorsing the national Republican platform lin- cluding the single gold standard) en- dorsing the McCord-Murphy admin istrations; demanding home rule and statehood; favoring the populist doctrine of the initiative and refer endum, and (which is the gist of the whole platform), inviting the hearty cooperation of all citizens to support the ticket, which they will fail to do by large majorityy

THE Democrats of Yuma county have nominated Rough Rider Billy Marvin for Recorder, a position worth some thing, while the Maricopa Republicans pile more glory on Jim McClintock by nominating him for the Legislature, with salary of $4 day for sixty days, which will barely pay his living ex- penses, be he ever so economical. This shows the difference between Repnbli- cans and Democrats, and yet the for mer claim to have all the loyalty and patriotism.

naafnesa Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way tocnre deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con dition of the mucous lining of the EustachiRn Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have 8 rutnbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken 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 infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The funeral of Mrs. Clara Perkins took place yesterday morning from the Baptist church. Mrs. Perkins died at the Desert station on the Florence road. She had been very sick ct her home at Pinal, for several weeks, but was recovering. h order to hasten herrecovery her husband decided to bring her to the home of her parents, at this place, where she would receive more careful nursing and be near a physician. The trip, however, in her weakened condition, was more than she could stand. When the station was reached, on Friday evening she was feeling very badly and continued to grow worse during the night, until death relieved her suffering at 7:30 o'clock Saturday morning. The re- mains were brought to Tempe Satur- day night. The dead woman was only nineteen years old she had been mar ried about year. She was possessed of charming disposition that endeared her to all. The sympathy of the com munity is extended to her parents Mir. and Mrs. w. A. McGrew of East Tempe, and to the sorrowing husband. -tTempc News.

THE Graham county Democrats very clearly and correctly expressed the truth in their platform, as follows:
 We charge the Republican party of Ari- zcna with the responsibility of attempting to burden the people of Arizona with illegal railroad bonds in Yavapai county, which the people desired to contest in the courts. These bonds. amounting to nearly quarter of million of dollars. were funded against the protest of the board of supervisors of Yavapai county, who had employed counsel to contest their legality"

 The survey of the south boundary of the White Mountain Indian reservs- tion, executed by Phillip Coutzen, U. s. Deputy surveyor, was approved Sep tember 30th, by the commissioner of the general land office at Washington, D. 0. The official map of this survey was filed yesterday in the local land office, and this segregated portion of the reservation will now be thrown open to settlement. This territory contains about 400 square miles, most of which is mineral and coal land and some grazing land. Those having rnin- eral interests in this section of terri tory are greatly elated oyer the final settlement of matters, as work can now be prosecuted which heretofore could not be attempted. Large depos- it's of coal are said to be located in the opened territory, the development of which would be of benefit to shis lo- cality.

TALK about deserting the Chicago platform When the Democratic party had been betrayed; when it's party ma- chinery was in the hands of agents of plutocracy when not one single State in the union was safely Democratic and when despair spread like black pail over this nation, the Chicago platform saved Democracy, recalled the party organization, drove out traitors, in- creased the Democratic vote beyond the highest water mark, and with all the trusts, big newspapers and banks against us, boiled 6,511 300 votes for Bryan against 5,O54, 900 votes for Cleve- land.
