JACK BUTTONS PAINTER.
He Hires a Crook Who at Once Pro- ceeds to Put a Red Coat on
 Tucson.

A man named Smith, with a number of other aliases, was arrested on Satur- day night and charged with passing fraudulent checks, says the Tucson Citizen.
 Smith met J. E. Dufton in the Opera cafe and Mir. Dufton employed Smith as 2 painter, and instructions were giv- en him to show up this morning for work. But Smith has not showed up either at the paint shop or anywhere else. Smith said he was without money, and MT. DuftOn, with his usual generosity, told those on watch to give him what he wanted and he would make the amount incurred good LeaV- ing the saloon Smith secured a number of blank cheeks issued by the COnsoli- dated bank and wrote out two of them, signing tMr. DuftOn's name. One of these for $30 he gave to MT. Muell.sh the jeweler, for a gold ring, receiving the balance in change. Mir Muellish felt that something was wrong, and meeting DUfton remarked that he had cashed check of his. DuftOn replied that he had issued no check. This led to the issuance of a warrant for Smith
 The clever swindler. after leaving the jewelry store, went to the Legal Tender, where he took out another check and signed MI. Dufton's name to it. This time it was for $15. The check was cashed by dealer Lincoln at the faro game. MT Lincoln doubted the signature of Mr Drton.
Arizona republican., 1899-03-08
Do you work for MT. Dufton?" he

Do you work for MT. Dufton?" he asked Smith.
 That's all straight replied Smith, 'and ii you don't believe it I will call MT. Dufton, who is at the bar
 This was a clever piece of deception. and MT. Lincoln did not question the matter further. Smith put S5 in the faro game and had $10 in his pocket when an officer appeared and arrested him. He refused to go at first, claim ing that there was a mistake in iden- tity but he finally walked to the jail and was locked up.
 On Sunday morning when the jailer went to feed his prisoner he found the cell empty. Smith had broken out during the night. An effort is being made to find him, but so far no trace of the fugitive has been found.
 Smith is described as a young man with prominent blue eyes, fairly well dressed, and is supposed to have had an accomplice in his swindling game who helped him break out of jail. He is evidently an experienced crook from the nerve he displayed in the Legal Tender when he offered to bring MT. Dufton in to vouch for his honesty.

A BLOW AT LABOR.

The year of 1896 produced in New York a large crop of persons who be- lieve in driving personal property out of the state Or in having it so thoroughly secreted that no one can find it. It is almost time for them to go into retirement. Personal property is the force which gives employment to labor. Drive it away and the suf- ferirg falls heaviest upon those who can afford to bear it least.-Albany Journal.

The western Tornado.

WISCONSIN, seems fated TO suffer
from terrible disasters. The forest
fires about Peshtigo cost more lives
than the Chicago conAagration
that was raging at the same time,
and there have been frequent cal
antilles OF the same sort since.
This weeks combination of fire,
storm and flood was one of the
most appalling visitations thate even
that prosecuted region has ever
endured.
Even those who have passed
through such a terror as that which
has Just changed beautiful New
Richmond, WIS, into desolation
OF chaos and death have only dazed
and confused memories OF it.
There is a sudden blotting out
Of the sun. There is a roar as oi
all the demons in angry onset, and
instantly the Titanic forces OF
nature are let loose. Great build
ings are swept away like thistle
down. Massive walls crumble like
eggshells under a trip-hammer,
and great masses Of bricks, stones
and ttmbers are caught up into the
air and hurled about like dust
clouds on clustering day. The
windows OF heaven are open and
the floods descend in cataracts,
In few minutes the tornado is
gone, leaving its monument OF
catastrophe. Hundreds are dead
and other hundreds are mangled.
Worst Of all, scores OF helpless
human beings are wedged among
the debris, and must perish there
in the fire that follows, while those
to whom they are dear must turn
helplessly away from the sight and
sound Of their torment.

Dewey's Fine Judgment

Admiral Dewey in declining to
accept a home purchased by pop
ular subscription, has displayed
excellent taste and judgment. The
suggestion that the Admiral should
be given a home by the American
people originated with Rear.
Admiral Josh lr, United States
Navy, retired, and was made in
good faith and doubtless with a
due regard for the proprieties. In
itself the project was not objection
able, and was certainly preferable
to the proposition to tender the
Admiral banquet at 500 plate.
Admiral Dewey would assuredly
decline to participate in a feast
which would have been a vulgar
display at best and was designed
70 advertise a number oil preten-
tious persons whose chiei claim to
distinction lies in their ability to
spend 500 upon a banquet. AS
regards a home for the Admiral
however, he was apparently never
consulted before the movement
was started. and not until the pas
day or two was it klown whether
the project had his approval, He
had received the highest honoi

not produced anywhere in the Nile

Nominally the substance has long been
