too high to be paid Judge K!ncaid '' Early in life he uL.t5d with the Meth odist church, and the one regret (and the only One.) he expressed to me again and again, was that when he came to this territory ke did not pub licly identify himself with the church here. He wished that his strength could be restored that he might do this. He died calmly and peacefully, trusting in Christ as his Savior, pray ing to Cod as his Father, committing his loved ones to their Almighty Friend. Almost h.s last words were as his daughter bent over to ask what ha was saying: T am praying" and q little before he said to the friend who like a brother ministered to him: Sod bless you Tom.
 R1i5ert E. Lee said to his son: "The greatest word is duty" Judge Kin ca'.d taught this truth by his life. Firm in his principles, true to his con Yictions, faithful in every duty, he was loved by all who knew him intimate ly, and respected by all who knew him at all. The word Of John Kincad was aS good as any mans bond.
 A member O. the Masonic fraternity. though for reasons which related to his health he did not unite with the or+er here, he held his membership through the years at his former home, always wore his chapter keystone. and held in high esteem this oime-hon0red institution which takes the bible as the rule and guide Of faith and prac- tica.
 Fer years he was a member of the grammar schCol board, and was one of the few men who do more work for the public than they are paid for. He did for the city schools hundreds cf dollars worth Cf work for which he received no pay, except the love Of his associates, Of teachers bsfriended. of patrons benefited. He was Our Schools Friend"
 His last reelection as justice Of the peace gave joy to his falnting heart The expression of confidence so eIn- phaticaLy given by his fellow c-ti- izens was a great comfort to him and never was confidence better de- served. How well he was loved let these flowers tell-tho' they can sell hut in part He has gone to the place where the roses never wither, and where all that is bright and beautiful will endur forever.

DISTRICT COURT
The Grand Jury Submits lis Final
 Report and is Discharged.

The grand jury submitted it's final re- port yesterday and was discharged. It broke the grand jury record in this county for speed. In five days it con sidered twenty-six cases, returned six tcsn true bills. ignored nine cha- gas and transferred one case to Pima county Two indictments were. re- turned yesterday against persons tN whose former indictments delnu~re-s had bs-n sustained. One was J. J. Hawks for robbery, and Andrew JOhn~ son for assault with intent to commit murder. The charge of grand larceny against LeandTc Imperial was ignored for the reasCn that Imperial had been sent to Pima county to answer to the serious charge of shooting with intent to commit murder.
 In district court the demurrer tc the indictment against w. R. Blackmer was sustained, he was discharged and his bail eXOnerated. Blackmer was examined by justice of the peacs. &l the Buckeye precinct on a charge Of breaking a hcadgate of the Buckeye canal The papers from the justice court were found to be .amcnta3ly de- fective and beside his prosecution seemed attended by a strong local prejudice.

 If a ticket is winning ticket because places upon it are much sought after the democrats may as well cease from the campaign, go about their respect i've businesses and consider the re)ub- lican ticket already elected. There was not only a warm contest, but spirited scramble for nominations at the republican city convention last night.
 The convention was called to order in the district court room by the chair man of the central committee, DT. William Dufield, at s o'clock. The room was filb.d and a part Of the au- dience hung down the stairway. There was anticipation of a tocrid season.
 These .anticiPations were warranted by subsequent turmoil, out Of which was evolved the nomination of J. D. MOnihOn. The mayOralty fight was of secondary importance and the result was contingent not upon the relative strength of Monihon and J. Y. T. Smith, but upon the outcome of com binations made by the friends of can didates for other offices. MT Smith declined from the beginning to de scend into the pool, and he had not delegated anybody to go in for him. Mir. Monihon and his friends had been wading in it for weeks feeling about for the maycralty nomination con- cealed in its muTky depths, with the persistence of the boy who sought the woodchuck because his family was out of meat.
 When the convention was called to order and a temporary organization was effected with Dr. Dufield chair man and c. M. Sturfes secretary, and the following committees had been appointed, a recess of fifteen minutes was taken:
 Platform and resolutions-W. c. FYcs- ter, c. M. Sturges and A. J. Edwards
 Order of business and credentials N. A. Morfosd, c. J. Dyer, T. w Cham berlain, W. P. Medley and J. w Walker.
 The latter committee reported the following delegatss entitled to seats in the convention:
 First ward-T B. FIannigan, c. J. Dyer, William Thode, Harry George, l. M. Eonar, H. H. Harvey, Joseph Boyce, pr. Duffeld, G w Brown, w. Ii. Black, R. H. Stanton, J. H. Kinney

If mothers would take the time they spend in telling their children to run away or not to do that CT to leave that alone in showing their children how to play and what to play with, they would find the results not only astounding but gratiGying.'
