 Arizona Gazette One of the most amusing scenes in its line happened yesterday on Adams street, between Center and First avenue. It was a drunken Chinaman. Chinamen rarely, If ever, go on the street in this cOndi- tion. and In this instance "John" performed the act of how this class shamble along when in that fix. As he wended his way toward the laun- dry in the next block, these words were uttered: "iEll Melica man, ell way, ell Chinamen, ell ev'y t'iDg.r
 St. Johns Herald The Gazette of Phoenix published very pretty story last week-a whopper in fact--aDout a fearless woman carrying the mail twice a week over the star route from St. Johns to Navajo, through al, kinds of weather, over mountains, and brav- ing the jealous Navajo and the mur- derous Apache. The story reads pret. ty enough: we hate to meddle with this romantic story of the "new wom- an" in Apache county; but the facts are, there's no mail route between the two towns named and no woman car rylng mail over star route here.
 Arizona Gazette: T. Henry Elvey of Phoenix, a member of the Thirty fourth volunteers, now in the Philip pines, sent his mother small Fili- pino flag, and says he captured 1t from Filipino seIiorlta.

River News.

From the effects of the rains Tues
day the river has been steadily rising
the past thirty hours and the reports
from up the river indicate that the
rise will continue until the stage here
will be at least five feet. The stage
last evening was feet 10 inches.
River men are prepared to take ad-
vantage of the rise which will probab-
ly De permanent. The lateness of the
season is favorable for a stage being
reached that will allow the larger
boats to enter the trade on the upper
river again.
The local craft are ready and will
begin running this morning. The
Elose will leave for Wheeling and the
Duffey for Waverly today.
1t is said that there will be no strike
among the river firemen, as the com
bine and the Marine Firemens Bene-
fit Association will agre on a salts
factory scale of wages before a rise
comes. The scale adopted by the or
ganization calls for $50 a month, act
ual working time.-Pittsburg Times.
There was more activity among
rivermen along the Plttsburg wharf
yesterday than displayed any time for
several weeks. Rivermen were to be
found in small groups in the wharf
boats and boat stores discussing the
prospects CT an early rise, due to the
heavy rains Of yesterday. While coal
shipping stage is harry expected from
yesterdays rains, rivermen say that
reports rom the headwaters of the
Allegheny and Moncngahela rivers
warrants the belief that there will be
sufficient rise .or the resumption in
navigation in the Ohio river, at least
fer packets. 1t would require a gen.
eral rainfall of two inches to bring a
coal shipping stage in the rivers. The
Monongahela River Consolidated Coal
and Coke company says that it has
2OOOO,OOO bushels of coal awaiting
shipment sCuth-Pittsburg Times.

Marconi's Telegraph Scheme.

Further tests OF the Marconi system
Of wireless telegraphy between ships
at sea, or between ships and the shore,
prove the value of the discovery. Two
war vessels have made practical dem
onstrations of the Marconi method,
and during a considerable period OF
time which was occupied by the pass
age from New York harbor out to sea,
the ships, which sailed a number of
miles apart, were able to communicate
with each other and the lighthouse on
shore. During a part Of the time the
city of New YORK interviewed between
the two vessels, but the current was
not interferred with, even though its
direction was over the houstcps and
past the disturbing influences of the
busy city.
1t is not claimed for Marconrs sys-
tenn that is available for very long
distances. On the contrary there are
serious doubts about extending its
sphere of usefulness more than a
limited number of miles. That 1t will
work between two points on opposite
sides of the English channel has been
determined. The tests of this week
show chat 1t will work over distance
of 20 miles with New York City in
tervenlng How successfully it may
be expected to connect points further
away, or the limit of the distance
which can be covered without wires,
Is yet to be settled Conjecture may
say that the electric current may be
diffused at the distance of so miles, or
100 miles, but what seems impossible
at one time Us simple enough as men
mas,er new laws Of nature. Two or
three years ago it would have been re-
garded as an impossibility to tele-
graph across the English channel
without wires. Now it is as simpIe as
the telephone The practical value of
the Marconi telegraph is established
whether its limits are or not.-Pitts-

I he mails of Wednesday were flood
ed with circulars purporting to come
from the Chic Anti-Saloon League,
but which might have come from any
source-even john r. Mclean, him
self-calling upon the recipients to
vote for A. w. Patrick, Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, in
stead of John A. Caldwell, Republican,
which latter gentleman the circular
viciously maligned, almost putting
him in league with the Old Boy him
self.
Now II happens that Marietta has
some members of this same Anti-Sa-
loon League, ard one of them a most
substantial and fair business man, re-
ceived a bunch of the circulars, with
the request that he help spread the
bad news. Inss2ad of this, he took his
pen in hand ard indicted the follow
ing epistle to Whitlock, rhe president
of the Anti-saloon League:
Marietta Nov. 1, 1899.
Mr.. w. F. Whitlock:
Dear Sir-I received this morning
most astonishing circular.
You ask for an answer to it and |
give it.
has been understood that the An
ti-SalOon League was organized on
non-p2rCsan basis. Believing that to
be he right plan. | have supported it
financially and Otherwise to the best
of my ability until now. 1t will have
my support no longer, when used for
the benefit of the Democratic party,
which has in all time been opposed to
all temperance legislation. Within
the last week it is charged that
John R. Mclean has brought into the
state $50 900 with which to corrupt
voters, and that the Anti-Saloon
League send out suc.i a circular on the
eve of election, certainly looks bad for
whoever is responsible for it.
Fortunately, it cannot defeat the Re
publican ticket, but unfortunately it
will do the temperance cause more in
jury than can be easily repaired.
Whoever is responsible for this cir
cular has certainly exceeded his au-
thority and laid himself liable to the
imputation of being influenced by the
methods of John X. Mclean

near Rome, was arrested on the
charge OF feloniously assaulting Jesse
Wakefield, brother Of Prof. Geo. G.
Wakefield, while he and Others we're
engaged In hauling wheat from the
Wakefield farm, which was occupied
by Mrs. Stuck and her husband as
tenants.
Mrs. Stuck was given a preliminary
hearing and bound over to the dis
trict court. She was released on bond
and her case was to come up for trial
at the present term. 10 the mean.
time, friends Of Mrs. Stuck interceded
with County Attorney ]. NJ. Ready in
her behalf, and offered pretty good
evidence to the effect that she was
subject to periodical fits of insanity,
and begged that the case against her
be not prosecuted, promising to use
their iDhunce TO have her sent to a
private asylum. The county attor-
ney consulted her physician, DR.. S
W. Splitter, who had been treating
her for some time, and learned from
him that she was undoubtedly men
tally unbalanced. The doctor stated
that he would readily 20 upon the
witness stand and swear that she wa.
insane.
These convincing evidences Of Mr..
Sucks insanity satisfied the county
attorney, and he consented to allow
her to plead guilty to common as
sault and pay nominal fine upon the
promise OF her husband to take bel
to a private asylum. This plan Wa:
agreed upon. and the latter part OF
last month the court proceeding wa.
carried out. She plead guilty before
Justice Burnette and was fined SIC
and costs. The husband and the
county attorney requested the papers
TO say nothing Of the insanity plea,
because OF the effect it would have
upon her mind, until she was taken
away. Last week she was taken to
her old home iu Michigan; this ex.

concerning this case. Mrs. Stuck

Is 1T A DEAD LAW?

What are the people to expect
from a Republican administration in
Kansas2 A law was placed on the
statue book sreducing the telegraph
companies charges, to be effectiye
from the lst Of April. What has been
done to enforce it1 The telegraph
companies with an eye to their own
interests, have reduced the charges
to the state and are only col.
lecting for messages at the rates I'M
der the new law. Meantime the
companies state that the difference
is being charged up against Kansas.
No intelligent person would be
fooled by such work.
The companies know the law is
legal, but as long as they can keep
our state administration quiet by
collecting the new rates they make
it up by extorting the old rates from
the public. How long are they to
be permitted 10 run this bluff on the
people? Evidently we have got a
state administration that is run BY
corporators, and for corporations.
