 can tell you that the sentiment Of

 on this terrible journey and in the rush for gold.
 At Dyea there are hundreds of hu-
 man beings without money and minus

 and are buried. Many more through
 sheer desperation have become crimi- nal, and robbery and murder are so
 common that they have gone beyond | the catalogue of crimes.
 Hundreds coming back from Daw

 sickness, starvation and crime that
 makes one shudder to listen. I met
 two personal friends of mine from Georgia at Linderman returning from l Dawson and I knew that I could be-

END OF THE GRAND LODGE.
Election of Officers of the Rebekah
 Assembly.

The business of the I. O. O. F. lodge. the grand encampment and the Re bekah assembly was concluded yes terday by the election of the assembly and the reading of the reports show ing a phenomenal growth within the last year during which the number of Rebekah lodges has been increased from three to ten. The new officers are: President, Mrs. Mary Ziegler of Naomi lodge, Tucson; v1ce-president, Mrs. T. M. Nolan, Arizona lodge No. 1, Phoenix; secretary, Mrs. c. S. Scott, Arizona lodge No. 1, Phoenix; treasurer Mrs. B. P. Van Kuren, Ma omi lodge, Tucson.
 There was left only odds and ends of business from the two previous days session to be closed up by the lodge and the encampment. The crowning event of the session was the banquet last night. accessible to all Odd Eel lows and Rebekahs. There is one thing more to be done so nearly con- nected with the work of the grand lodge that it may be considered part of it, the laying of the corner stone of the temple at Tempe today. There will be music and impressive cere- monies and more than all, the speech of the day by Judge Eb Williams of Nogales. Most members of the order will leave for their homes tonight. though many from the more remote parts of the territory who visit Phoenix less frequently will remain over until next Monday.

SPAIN INTERDICTION.
No Mere Chili Con Carne in Phoenix
 for Awhile.

To advise the government in it's present Spanish-American complica- tion is within the province of every American citizen whether he pays taxes or not, whether he can read or not, and whether he knows what he is talking about or not. The govern ment, that is, the president and con- gross, will probably. with great obsti macy let much of this advice go in one ear and emerge from the other, and the American citizen may find relief in cussin'. But if the American citizen is not given an opportunity to win glory, he cannot be deprived of the inalienable right of shooting off his mouth and besides he is taking lessons in geography. Yesterday afternoon when the hottest bulletins were coming in one American citizen overwrought with excitement, exclaimed with an oath that if this government was not bound hand and foot by Wall street it would not let a Spaniard snow his head north of Mason and Dixon's line. Where do you think Mason and Dixon's line runs?" asked a bystander The American citizens idea was vague, but he had ready answer From Venezuela to Havana"
 Just then Harry St. Claire came up street and added fuel to the flames by saying he was fresh from the bulletin board and that according to the latest bul- letin Spain had not only officially re- fused to entertain any proposition made by President Mckinley, but had seen his bluff and ra1sed him by in,
 terdicting the preparation in this
 country of any Spanish dish. If il i should come to the ear of the govern
 ment that in any hotel, restaurant ol
 private family of the United State:
 there had been constructed sucl delicacies as chilli con carne, frijoles ol
 beef Spanish, such preparation would | be regarded as an overt act intended by the United States to precipitate i hostilities.

BOUND TO DIE.
John Cutler Throws Himself Under an
 Electric Car

Shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning, while hundreds of citizens were rushing in and out of the post office, and in and out of the court house, man came hurriedly down the front walk of the court yard and with short run deliberately threw himself upon the track in front of an electric car going east at rapid rate of speed. The motorman, c. w. Wartman, re- versed the lever and applied the brake so promptly that the car was brought to a stand almost in an instant. The prompt action of the motorman caused the effort of the would-be suicide to prove futile. The front wheel pushed his head along the track a short dis tance, the contact producing a few slight injuries resulting in more blood than pain.
 The man was John Cutler, who was the subject Of an articIe in these col umns yesterday morning detailing two attempts on his part to commit suicide on Tuesday by means of a pocket knife
 Jailer Boyd was an astonished man yesterday when Cutler was taken into his office bleeding profusely Not five minutes had elapsed since Boyd had promised Cutler to protect him from the mob which the latter insisted was seeking his life. He admitted that he has been on a whisky spree, and for four or five days had been taking mor- phine to relieve his nervous strain. but notwithstanding this he alleged complete cogniZance of the dangers threatening him and had come to the sheriff for protection. It was the in tention of MT. Boyd to cause a war rant to issue and to give him place in the jail until reason returned but at the moment Officer Porterie appeared hurriedly for a couple of prisoners for the court of one of the justices. and during the absence of Jailer Boyd af- ter these prisoners, Cutler made his break for the street. The on-coming car suggested a quick exit from all of his troubles and without hesitation he proceeded to take advantage of the opportunity.
 He was taken back into the jail where he will be detained until it is considered safe to permit him his free dom again.

NOTARIES PUBLIC.
A Need of the Remodeling of the Ari-
 Zona Law.

The need of legislation on the sub- Ject Of the notary public is manifest, and 1t is probable bill will be intro duced in the next legislature modify ing the statutes regarding that office. The matter to which attention is par ticularly called is the embarrassment which attends acknowledgements by notaries public of deeds and other pa pers which go outside the territory It is always required in such cases that the acknowledgement be certified showing that the notary is a notary, and 1t Is usually required that this cer- tlfication shall be made from some court of record. This requirement. arises from the fact that in most, if not all, other states and territories the notary's bond must be filed in the office of the clerk of court. In this territory the evidence of the notary s authority is filed in the office of the county recorder. It frequently hap pens that certificate from the re- corder's office is returned, because, according to the law of the state to winch It is sent it is unique. Most certificates, however, are issued from the district court, though the law of
 NOOo iiOI eusts as the office from which the certificate shall issue. However, that doesn't t make any difference if it is satisfies the foreign holder of the document to which acknowledgment is made. But before the clerk can issue a certificate he must go to the trouble of going through the books of the recorders office to ascertain if the notary is really notary.
 Another growing objection to the law relating to potaries in this terri tory IS that the number is not limited. It is possible for every man and wo- man in Arizona to become a notary. It is only required that the applicant shall pay fee and be able to secure bond. The latter is always easy. for the average bondsman can see nothing in the office to imperil him. He might, though, be put in great jeopardy by the carelessness, ignorance or crimi- nality of a notary. For this reason it has been urged that a limitation be placed on the number of notaries in each county and that a proof of re- sponsibility be required.

ALASKA AND PHOENIX.
Compared By a Returned Railroad
 Adventurer.

IIr. N. Spiers, for many years one of the most popular conductors on the S. P. road, and for one year just prior to Sept. 15, 1897, connected in the same capacity with the Phoenix and Prescott road, at which date he resigned hls position and with strong purpose high hopes and an unchangeable determl- nation to succeed even if the world of adventurers failed, he started for the wealth of precious metals he felt he already had a strong clutch upon, To- cated. somewhere, anywhere within the ice-bound confines of the great large territory known on the maps as Alaska.

What Friends of the chapins Say.

The friends of Frederick M. Chaplin. who is
charged with forging the name of Sterling r.
Holt as the indorser of notes sold to the Brazil
Ind, banks, are much astorished at the accusa-
lions. The guests at the Charlemont where
Chaplin presided as landlord for two months
We're considerably surprised yesterday to read of
the somewhat sensational charges against the
young man.
Chaplin seems to have been we'll known in In
dianapolis, Those who are familiar with his
history say he came here about a year ago from
Philadelphia. He was raised in Chicago. and
shortly after coming here he had inherited about
$4,000 from his fathers estate. His purpose in
coming TO indianapolis was TO invest this money
He bought Sterling r. Holts interest in the
Brazil ice plant which, 1t is claimed shortly
afterward went into the hands of a receiver
1t is said Chaplin invested about $1,000 in this
plant.
Attorney James Noel, who was the legal adj
wiser of Chaplin. says his cinet did not leave
town in a mysterious manner. He and his
WIFE," said the attorney, were heartbroken
over their losses, and Were Inundated They
did not realize anything out of the sale of the
charemont, as all was applied on their debts
Mrs. Chaplin surrendered much of her iewelry
in order to settle part of their indie btedness
1t is said that when Chaplin and wife went
away they left a horse and buggy as security
for a loan with which to procure railroad tickets
They have gone East.
