Goes Through In kentucky Demo-
cratic Convcntion-Thc State Ticket
Finally Completed.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 2s.-The
Democratic state convention adjourned
tonight after nominating the follow
Ing ticket:
Governor, William Goebel, OF Kenton
county.
Lieutenant Governor, j. c. w. Beck
ham, of Nelson county.

Boyd county.
Commissioners of agriculture, I. B.
Nall, Of Louisville.
Commissioner OF public institutions,
II. V. McChesney, OF Livingston coun-
ty. !.
William Goebel dominated to-duy's
proceedings as he has those of every
day since the convention began. Com
ins here with less than e-fourth Of
such delegates accredited to any OF the
three candidates for governor he
leaves the convention holding the nom
ination for head OF the ticket. with the
party organization under his control
and ticket made up OF his partsans.
But this has been accomplished only
after severe ordeal md strife that
several times threatened TO rend the
party to such an extent that these
prizes, even after he had secured them,
would have been valueless. The spec
tators have witnessed melodramn,
farce and near approach to tragedy
since the convention began its work q
week ago. but 1t has ended In love
feast that might have seemed out, of
the question to one unncQlninted With
the kcnt,tckian character.
The little fellows had an inning to-
day and the five or six hundred dele
gates who remained to complete the
work OF the conventlon,w were harangued
from o'clock In the morning until
Well Into the night, without intermis-
sion except for an occasional ballot.
There had been few enough good
words spoken by delegates about each
other to make thoroughly appreciated
the avalanche of praise and commen-
dation that fell from the mouths OF
these nominating and seconding ora
tors. But 1t all came to one end. The
Goebel slate went through. Sometimes
there was n strong fight. In some cases
more than one ballot was necessary.
but the required votes were always in
readiness when the time came to swing
them. After completing the ticket, the
convention adjourned sine die.

that the 1000 men who are weekly Of

the army as two ycar volunteers than

to work out higher, healthier and more creditable standard of life for AriZona's capital.
 Resolved, That the common council of Phoenix on behalf of themselves and of all the citizens of Phoenix extend to ex-Mayor J. c. Adams their sincere thanks for his jealous and persistent efforts for the welfare of this com munity."
 The council canvassed the returns of the late bond election and issued what is called a certificate of election, though in this case it was certificate of defeat, or, perhaps, after all, a cer- tificate of an election that there shall be no bonds just now. The election pay roll amounting to $106.70 was all lowed and warrants were ordered drawn.
 The late election of officers of the fire department was approved and warrant was ordered drawn for $25 to reimburse the department for money paid to BarriOS, al injured fireman.

THE CITY COUNCIL
The Two MOnthS' Overdue
 Taxes Now Delinquent.
Adoption Of Resolution Upon Flavor Adams ResignafIon-The Election Returns CanVaSSed.

The first meeting of the reorganized city council was held last night, at which the most important business transacted was the declaration of the unpaid taxes to be delinquent. The city assessor and collector was in structed to proceed to advertise them and collect them in the usual manner. These taxes were really delinquent two months ago, but extensions were allowed from time to time until last night.
 The following resolution moved by Councilman Brooks and seconded by Councilman Sanders, upon the resig- nation of Mayor Adams, was adopted:
 Whereas, On the 18th day of Jan uary, 1899, at a special meeting of the common council of the city of Phoenix. the Hon. J. c. Adams did for reasons seeming to him satisfactory resign his office of mayor of Phoenix, A. T.. which resignation the said council upon the insistence of the said mayor did unwillingly accept, and
 f'Whereas, It is proper at this time to give formal expression to the senti- ments spontaneously entertained on
 
 such an occasion, now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the common coun- cil of the city of Phoenix experience sincere regret at the severance of the pleasant relations heretofore existing between ex-Mayor Adams and them selves.
 Resolved, That while they have at all time recognized the courage and progressiveness of his: leadership, they have not fully understood how much it meant for them and the city of Phoenix until it was so suddenly, if necessarily, withdrawn.
 Resolved, That while the cause of municipal advancement seems to have been temporarily checked, the princi- pie of progress so characteristic of American enterprise and so ably championed by Mayor Adams during his official and business life in Phoe- nix, is destined largely by his initiative

DOS CABEZAS DISTRICT.
A Gold Camp That is Coming to the
 Front With Producing Mines.

At present the outlook for Dos Ca bezas district is very flattering, writes a correspondent of the Wilcox Range News. We are greeted daily with thc shrlIl blasts of the whistles of the h0lsting works of the Philadelphia mine and the mill at the town of Dos CaLezas-SOunds which have not been heard here for many years. Under the supervision of MT. Bibbens the mill has gone through a complete recon structiOn and is now nearly ready for work. It is equipped with all the modA ern appliances, including two sIX-f0ot Frue-Vanners and a set of Browne's hydrometric sizers. It is the inten- ton of the management to employ the mill on the ores of the several mines controlled by the company, which are now being put in shape for permanent work for the development and extract ing ores. But for the benefit of those working their miaes here and wishing to make runs of their ores from fifty tons and up, MT Bibbens has decided to give them an opportunity on Iimitet; amounts.

that was sunk to a depth of 13O feet, and crosscuts opened south to the big ledge. has been Tetimbered to depth of eighty-five feet, and now the ques- ton of a hoist and pump is under con sideratiop and the work of cleaning the mine to the depth of shaft and drifts will soon begin,
 A crOsscut is being run to the north in the 650-foot tunnel to determine the extent Of the ledge at GAO feet from the mouth. They also expect to begin the work of upraise near the crosscut Tn the tunnel to tap 100-foot shaft aooVe, in which is a chute of high grade ore About 100 feet north of the mouth or the tunnel MT. Bibbens is opening parallel vein, which, from present in dlications, bids fair to rival the rlchesr veins in the district.
 No test has been made of the ore eX- cept by the horn process, but that is very flattering and the estimates are from S30 to $S0 per ton. This is one of the most important of recent devel- opments in the district
 At the Philadelphia mine, which is also under the management of MT. Bibbens and associates, the machinery has been put in perfect order, new sills and ether repairs to the hoisting works with new dump and feed tanks. The main shaft is retimbered and the work is progressing day and night and as soCn as practicable work of opening the stopes will begin.

THE POULTRY EXHIBIT
The Announcement of Awards Will
 Be Made Today.

The third days exhibit Of the poultry of visitors The interest increases as the show is nearing a close. The SCOT ing, which has been conducted by Judge s. L. Roberts, was completed last night and the cards need only to be footed when the premiums will be awarded. This will take place today and the premium cards and names of varieties will be posted on each ex- hibit coop and pen.
 The management has conducted the show from the start without any back ing, but by it's energetic working the financial outlook is encouraging and the next poultry convention of the association will not have the same diff faculties to contend with.
 The pair Of pea-fowls cooped directly opposite each other continue to at tract a large share of admiration It was the intention of the association to present more than one exhibit pen of pea-fowls,- but the persons from whom the supply was coming experi- enced great difficulty in securing the birds, which fly to tree tops with al- h1OoG IIlC dIdCT1Iy as du 0dSle
 A few eggs Whick had been placed in the incubator early were matched yesterday, while quite a number of hatchlings are expected to be in evil dence this last day of the show
 There are a lumber of excellent birds on sale in lots of singles, pairs, tr1os and breeding pens. Among them are such varieties as Black Minorcas, Brown, White and Buff Leghorns, Cor nish Games, F'rizZlers, Plymouth Rocks and white and spotted guinea fowls.
 In speaking of the display in general the judge, who has been connected with such business for forty-four years, sig nltied his sunrise in finding some birds with such cOmmendable qualifiC ltions, but he says further that there is plenty Of room for improvement among the larger varieties, which contrary to the general opinion, are suitably adopted to this climate and flourish under conditions which would prove fatal to the welfare of smaller breeds. One thing favorable to the poultry in dustry of this setcion is the large all falfa tracts where poultry is always found in good health, especially if given the opportunity to loiter under shade trees in the heSt of the summer
 He says that the show this year, which is really the first of any conse- quence held in the valley, has awak- ened an interest among the fancieTS, who will present better material at the next exhibit, and he strongly urges that the local poultry breeders culti- vate mutual interest in the welfare of that industry, buy, sell and exchange with each other, and not send east for blooded varieties which may be found at home
 Last night the association eletced of hceTs for the ensuing year. In consid- eration of former services c. l.. Langstreth was reelected president, and l.. M. Hogue was reelected vice president. F. V. Quinn was chosen secretary and treasurer, and G. H. Rothrock, E. A. Starr and Noah Mum ma, together with the officers of the association, will form the executive committee The committee will meet February to determine on some de- tails relative to the next annual meet ing.
