In fact in residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however. was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is SO dry here that registered temperature of 110 degrees is not as oppres- sive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York Tho Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 90 degrees. At nearly all times there is pleasant breeze; the nights arc invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,
 UNTOUCHED BY FROST.
 Orange and lemon trees require slight pro- tection during the winter for year or two until the wood is sufficiently hardened.
 While it Is a popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health, " 1t Is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate earth is equal to South ern Arizona. and there are numbers of active, industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but a few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is something better than q health resort.

Washington Special to Atlanta Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-TwO weeks
hence it is expected nearly all the
advantages gained in fighting around
Manila will be lost. 1t is disagree>
able fact the war department is fac ing.
LawtOn is retreating to Manila on ac-
count of inability to sustain himself SO
far away from the base of supplies. AS
fast as he evacuates territory il is occu-
pied by the rebels, for whom tie rainy
season has fewer terrors than for the
American forces. The fighting of the
past week has all been to protect the de-
parting column. 1t is the rear and not
the advance guard that has had the
work to do The withdraw al of Nc
Arthur's brigade is looked for for SINH
lar reasons.
Wagon trains with supplies cannot
get through the seas Of mud into which
the rains convert the roads aneI the rice
fields. The country does not afford the
means OF subsistence, therefore, there is
nothing to do but fall back. Even if the
elements were not against the American
forces it is dOu btfui if all the conquered
territory could be held The opportu-
mites for bushwhacking are without
number, and that kind of warfare is the
favorite with the FilipinOs.
1t may be said of the American forces
as it was the Spanish in Cuba: "They
hold what they sit upon"
Speculation at the war department
today was just as gloomy as these facts.
And the pessimistic view prevailed, not
wi hstanding General OLs' optimistic
dispatches about the disintegration of
the rebel army. Some talk about the
adjutant generals office was to the eff
feet that the muster out of the vOlun>
teers can hardly take place before Au-
gust, at which time the rainy season
will be about over. They will be needed
to keep the rebels from entyenching
about Manila and besieging the city.
While the rains are coming down regular
troops will be on their way across the
Pacific, the Ninth infantry being the
next to start from San Francisco. That
regiment will arrive before the rainy
season is over, but it will not do to send
it to the front until the men become &C
climated, in measure at least.
While they are becoming seasoned the
volunteers will have to hold the rebels
back. That will delay their return until
the latter part of September or October.

A bag of gold was displayed, but thore

The representative of Gomez said the

A Well-KnOWn Farmer Found in His
Yard a Corpse.

Mr. Lott Jennings, one of Terrell
cOunty's best known farmers and c:ti-
zens, was found dead between daylight
and sunrise Friday morning in the yard
at his home in the Twelfth district.
Mr.. Jennings arose at about O'Clock
in his accustomed health and went out
to look after the usual early morning
duties on the place, when, it is supposed,
he was stricken with apoplexy and ex>
pIred at once. While he had not been
in good health for some time no one
thought that he was seriously affected.
and his sudden and unexpected end was
a shock to his family and friends.
The deceased was about II years of
age, and was consistent member of the
Lutheran church. Honest in all his
business relations and kind and friendly
Ia disposition, he possessed the conf
dence and esteem of large circle of
friends and acquaintance who deplore
his death. He is survived by a wife and

BISHOP And MELTON FREE.
JURY ACQUITS THEM OF CHARGE
OF ARSON.
The Case Was StubbOrnIy COnteste d
by Both Prosecution and Defense.
Jury Out Three Hours.

The case of the state against Walter
Bishop was taken up in the superior
court Friday morning. Bishop, with
James Melton, was charged with burns
ing the Dawson oil mills last January,
and was arraigned for arson, the state
electing to separate the defendants and
put Bishop on trial first.
The state was represented by Solicitor
General Irwin, M G.. Edwards, A. NJ.
kaines and r. r. Marlin, and the defense
by Worrill & Laing, E. j. Hart and
Clarence Wilson of Ft. Gaines. An i'm
mense Gro d gathered in the court room
to watch the progress of the case, and
every point was noted with the deepest
interest.
The panel of jurors was put upon the
defendant and the process OF striking a
jury begun. This occupied some
time, as both the prosecution and the de-
Tense were very careful in the selection
of jury. Finally jury was secured
and the introduction of evidence pro-
ceeded.
All the evidSnce of the state was cir
cumstantal except the confession of
Bishop, which he afterwards denied.
saying that he was drunk at the time of
making it and had no recollection of it.
The prosecution introduced number of
witnesses to show that Bishop and Mel
ton were seen in and near Dawson on
the night of the fire and had made
threats of what they intended doing.
After the evidence for the prosecution
was all in the attorneys for the defense
announced that they expected to prove
an alibi, ard all of their testimony was
on this line. They introduced witnesses
also to prove Bishops inebriated cond-
ton at the time of making and signing
the confession of guilt. Witnesses swore
positively that Bishop was not in Daw-
son on the night of the fire; that he
spent the night at the home of Mr., j
w. Hood, three miles below Dawson,
and knew nothing of the fire until told
OF 1T on the following day.
The state in rebuttal introduced two
witnesses (wOmen) to show that Bishop
was seen by them across the railroad on
the night of the fire. One of them testi-
tied that she saw him and spoke to him
The other stated that while she swore on
the committal trial of the defendant that
she saw him on the night of the fire her
daughters had since convinced her that
she was m staken, and she was very
sorry for what she bad said.
This closed the evidence in the case
and Judge Sheffield proceeded to charge
the jury. His charge was able, clear and
strong and left no point of law upon
which the jury could have any doubt.
Several speeches were made on both
sides by the attorneys, and the jury re-
tired about seven o'clock They remained
out until ten O'Clock, when they returned
into court with verdict of acquittal
Bishop was given his freedom at once,
and Saturday morning Melton was re-
leased, the state announcing that the
charge against the latter would be with
drawn and the indictment mol pressed
Upon being released from custod v
both young men received the congratu>
lations of their friends on the outco me
of the trial.
