Judge Toney, on Wednesday,
began the trials of election officers
and others charged with contempt
in disobeying his order to admit in
spectors and challengers to the polls
on election day. B. L. Bozarth
was convicted and sentenced to
thirty hours in Jail. The attorneys
for the defense had slipped up to
Frankfort and obtained from the
Court of Appeals a restraining or
der stopping Judge Toney from
proceeding with the cases. He
promptly postponed the cases and
dismissed Bozarth pending further
orders of court. The order from
Court of Appeals is returnable No
vember 20, when it will be made
permanent or dismissed. The Joy
of the culprits is premature, as the
restraint order granted on petition
is only temporary, and, according
to precedent, will likely be set
aside, and Judge Toney will resume
business with them. The Court of
Appeals has several times decided,
including cases against Judge To-
ney, that it has no jurisdiction in
contempt cases, and the same de-
cision has been made in every State
and by the Federal Courts, even to
the Supreme Court.

THE CHEERFUL FACE.

Next to the sunlight Of heaven is the
cheerful face. There is no mistaking it.
The bright eye, the unclouded brow, the
sunny smile. all tell OF that which dwells
within. Who has not felt its electrifying
influence One glance at this face lifts
us out Of the mists and shadows into the
beautiful realms of hope. One cheerful
face in the household will keep every
thing warm aud light within. 1t may be
very plain face, but there is something
in il we feel, but can not express, and its
CHEEKY smile sends the blood dangling
through the veins for very joy. There is
word of blessed magic ia the plain,
cheerful face. and 1 would not exchange
il for all the soulless beauty that ever
eraced the iairest form on earth.

THE ELECTION.


except Jefferson county, Taylor,
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, has, despite all bubbles, a
clear plurality of about 1900, and
Jefferson will give him at least
500 more. This result is con-
ceded by all save the Goebel parti-
sans, and they. have at last been
forced to acknowledge that they
rely on the success of their contest
ing of votes to have Goebel declared
elected. Their attempts 70 have
votes thrown out by county boards
have failed, except in Nelson,
Christian and Harrison counties,
the courts having compelled the
boards to count and certify the
vote. In these three counties the
courts were not applied to in time,
though the contest will be carried
further to secure for Taylor about
800 votes cast for him in those
counties.
Though the official returns from
all counties except Jefferson are in
the Office of Secretary of State, the
Courier Journal still claims to be
short four counties, and excluding
these, claiming the 1900 taken
from Taylor referred to above, and
relying on throwing out votes in
Lewis, Johnson, Pulaski, Knox,
Mercer, Knott and Jefferson coun
ties, and few precincts elsewhere,
claims Goebel will have a legal
plurality. This means that by
adopting returning board" meth
DDS and throwing out several thou
sand votes Goebel has been elected.
>s5Isl his IS The situation to date. --
The same tactics are being at
tempted in the Legislative districts,
but the courts again interviewed and
in most cases the votes were counted
and certified to. In this county an
attempt was made by throwing out
precincts to defeat Stafford in First
ward, Lucas in Eleventh and
Twelfth and Strong in the county,
but mandamus stopped it.
If the decisions of the courts are
any criterion, the claims of the
Goebel men are groundless. Every
decision, of Democratic and Repub-
lican courts alike, deny the right
of election officers or election COM
missioners to decide contests or re-
fuse or fail to count all votes; that
they must count and certify all
votes. Whatever the intention of
the trainers of the Goebel election
law, the election boards, so say the
courts, have no such powers, the
sole authority to hear and decide
contests being with the Legislature
aud the courts.
Il is noteworthy that while all the
activity, claims and pretenses are
by the Goebel followers and papers,
the Taylor people are quiet, though |
alert and successful in resisting
nearly every move to change the
result. Then. again, several news
papers that supported Goebel re-
pudiate and condemn the methods
and proposed for securing
his election.
The Courier Journal and Times
have suddenly Withdrawn their ia
bles and flare heads over the cleo
ton news and relegate the brief

the daily papers of the north and east during the past winter has been the location of the storm center, and the government prophecy regarding the time at which it would reach the vicin- ity of the reader After February ex- periences in Illinois I could endure the monotony of Arizona weather for an indefinite length of time.
 This is my third visit to the valley and I have witnessed some marked changes during the five years I have been coming here. New business blocks in the center of town; new and attractive homes along the residence streets; better roads, finer looking fields and many improvements in the country.
 There is one feature of this valley and city which 1 particularly like, and that is the steady growth without any suggestion of a boom. The producers and solid business men are at the front, while the spectators are summing themselves on the back fences.
 Phoenix has ceased to be a frontier town, and long since began to show those evidences of culture and refine ment which distinguish the best of our older American cities. The new opera house, the social club the public library which the intelligence and en- terprise of the citizens will soon make a credit to the city and territory, mark the rapid advancement that is being made in the capital of Arizona
 When water storage (which is bound to come) has solved the problem relat- ing to the cultivation of every tillable acre in the valley this will certainly be one of the most attractive spots in America
