ing going on and there were signs of trouble.
 The sheriff wired Justice Kelly of
 Wickenburg precinct for details. In
 the afternoon reply was received say ing that coroner's jury had returned
 a verdict that Davenport had been
 murdered by Wilson. The justice re- quested the presence of the sheriff and district attorney at the preliminary eX- animation, which will be held today. Both left for Wickenburg last night.
 Of Davenport very little IS known here. He owned and worked mine in Yavapai county just across the line. He was about thirty years of age and unmarried. He is said to have been quiet and was not apt to be quarrel some even when drinking
 But of Wilson great deal is known. He came to the territory in the early sos and settled at Globe, where he lived about seven months He then went to Yavapai county and soon after stabbed and killed an Italian in a hand to hand conflict in Copper Basin. For this Judge Wells sentenced him to ten years at Yuma. After serving three years Governor L. c. Hughes pardoned him. Wilson came into prominence a year ago when the board of supervisors appointed him constable of Wicken- burg precinct. Not long after a peti- tion came down for his removal on the ground of officiousness and the liabil- ity of somebody to get hurt. The board finally acted upon the pet.,lon and or dered his removal, but he refused to recognize the boards authority and in proving that he had the law on his side. He served until the last election, when he was regularly elected to the office. A great many people here know him well as Susie Wilson and "Red Shirt" Wilson. He was recognized as dangerous man with gun, one not likely to kill wan tonly, but quick to avenge a grievance real or imaginary. It Is said that the Italian at Copper Basin was not his first victim.

'WICKENBURG MURDER
Jim Davenport killed by
 Constable Henry Wilson.
The Killing inc Oufgrowth of Crit iciSmS by fhc Slayer Upon inc Character Of Women Who Had Attended Late Dance.

James Davenport, miner, was shot and killed at Wickenburg late on Monday night or early yesterday morn ing by Henry Wilson, constable of that precinct. The killing was not an of fcial performance, but a private mat ter. There had been a dance at Wick enburg few nights before, concerning which Wilson had made remarks. He said the attendance was of such a
 character that he would not permit his wife to go, and he designated the women who were present as immoral.
 It doesn't take much to pro duce trouble at Wickenburg and this was more than much. A couple of brothers by the name of Kellogg, and Davenport took the matter up. They went to Wilson's house on Monday night and told him they wanted t O see him down town. Wilson replied that he would be there, and his visit Ors went away. Wilson was wise enough to foretell that there would be blood wasted before daylight and he concluded as a prudent man to reduce the number of his enemies. He picked up Snotgun, hurried out or h1S house by rear door and fired into the re- tiring group. Davenport died instantly. Wilson then took a shot at one of the Kelloggs and the other brother clipped the conStable'S ear with revolver bull let. The first news of the murder re- ceived here was telegram from West Nichols, a saloon keeper at Wicken- burg, to William Gilbert, Davenport's mining partner, who had arrived in the city the night before. The tele- gram contained no particulars, merely i stating that Davenport had been killed l by Wilson. Gilbert reported the affair l to the sheriff's office and added that 1 when he left Wickenburg the night i before there was a great deal of drink l

 WIG AND GOWN FOR COURT.

Perhaps the proposition to drape bench and bar in flowing black silk gowns deserves rather more respectful consideration than the pudges seem disposed to give it. even though, as one critic disdainfully declares, it would soon be followed by a rule requiring powdered wigs to go with the gowns.
 Why not both wig and gown?
 It is unnecessary to cite Herr Dioge- nes Teufslsdroeck Everybody knows that the coat has it's certain moral eff feet. Even q barkeeper in a swallow tail and some three square feet eX- panSe of polished shirt front is some what chastened and ameliorated bar keeper. Perhaps the barkseper is more susceptible than the lawyer; but it is most likely that the barkeeping style of barrister, if solemnly gOiwned with silk and topped with an imposing wig. would be so far under the influence of his costume that he would call the op- posing counsel perverter of veraclty merely, instead of the variegated pre-

A GREAT TRUTH FROM DEWEY.

Said Admiral Dewey in letter to MT. Hamilton Brown of London, edi- tor of the British Realm:
 After many years of wandering have como to the conclusion that the mightiest factor in the civilization of the world is the imperial policy of Eng land.
 I t should be kept in mind that the writer of this is an American born, and as thorough n~American in all his sentiments, feelings, impulses and con- victions as ever lived on earth. There is no mistaking the Americanism of George Dewey. That has been tried and tested. He has hOnored his coun- try and has becn honored by it, and it is he, American as he is, who says in effect: 'I have been the world around and seen for myself, and I say that it is the imperial policy of England that is the mightiest factor in the civilization of the world
 Admiral Dewey speaks the truth in this matter, and what he says will be corrob0rated by candid observers everywhere and of every nation.
 The power and policy of Great Brit ain is felt all over the world, and every where it is a power for civilization. However hard and heavy the tradition al British hand may be, it is the hand of justice among men. Wherever in any oriental community the English man appears as a civil or military rul- CT, the natives say: He is just per son and we will take his word;" and this they say of no other man, cer- tainly of no man of their own race and blood and country
 The British power began with a con- nf traders in India nd ht1i1 the great Indian empire; it began with a convict settlement at Botany bay and has shaped the great Australian em- pire; it found scattered communities of French trappers and traders in Can ada, and has erected the dominion and British North America. Today that power is at work at both ends of the continent of Africa, in Egypt and at the Cape Of Good Hope and moving to the southward and the northward, the forces will meet in the center.
 That which has been done and is now being done is conquest imperial ism" perhaps, but it is civilization. When Great Britain conquers she con- Guers, not for herself alone, but for all the civilized world. Into a British pos session any law abiding citizen of any other country may go and remain. m91icanS enter countries under Brit ish rule as they would go from one state of the American Union to another. In law and liberty there is no differ ence.
 This also should be noticed. that, wherever Great Britain plants her standard to rsmain, it is supported by these who at first were called subject races. The second line of defense in India is the great native army. The
 
 encr, who are carrying the name and fame of England to the Soudan and to the heart of Africa were Egyptian troops, made by British skill and en- ergy out of Egyptian fellahs, deemed the most cowardly, as they were be- fore, the most savagely oppressed. of human creatures. The British off1cers

GREATER AMERICA EXPOSITION
Arizona Urged to Take Part in the
 Next Great Exhibit.

Supplemental to the late very suc- cessful Omaha Trans-Mississipp Ex- position, it has been decided by the board of managers or an advisory board created for the purpose, to hold at Omaha in 1899, what is known as the Greater American Exposition. The following extract from a letter from MT. B. Rosewater, chairman of the advisory board to Governor Murphy is and is published for the information of the public:
 Tt would be very gratifying to the promoters of the Greater America EX- position to have Arizona amply rep resented among the exhibits. I am confident that if you would appoint a state commission made up of promi nent members of boards of trade, az ricultural socities, live stock associa- tions and mining interests, that an ex- hibit could be gotten together and placed here to great advantage. Un like the Trans-Mississipp Exposition, the regulations provide for free space for state or territorial exhibits"

 This gain alone would we'll be worth the tailors' and wigmakers' bills.
 The lower American courts are com monly lacking in dignity. The lack of dignity, of course, is not due to cos tune. It is due to the fact that attor- neys often, and judges sometimes, are without proper sense of the great inn portance of the position they occupy and of the functions they perform.
 If gowns and wigs will help them to get this sense where they have it not or to keep it in mind when they are in danger of forgetting it, then let us have two gowns and two wigs for every judge and every lawyer.-Chicago News.

GOOD ROADS LAW IN NEW JER-
 SEY.

During the five years that the New Jersey good roads law has been in op- eration 325 miles of road have been converted from heavy sloughs of sand to hard, smooth ways, on which teams can travel with facility, drawing such loads as would be impossible on the old system. The total cost has been about $565, ,S29, or about $1, 750 per mile. This is something of a burden on the tax payers, but not nearly SO much of one as the bad roads, and the people seem to think it pays, as tnGre is little or no demand for the repeal of the law Leavenworth Times.

STRINGENT LAWS 4.EEDED

The pure food congress has been in session for several days at Washing ton, and reports show that some pro gross is being made in the war against adulteration. Of course, there is very little dangerous food offered for sale nowadays. The business does not pay. but at the same time there Is too much adulteratiOn going on, and the only way to stop it is by the passage of more stringent laws and the strict en- forcement of them.-Baltimora Amer ican

REMARKABLE GROWTH.
Delaware and Hudson Round Houses
Too Small.

The lower Delaware and Hudson
round house in this city was origin
ally only three-quarters of It's present
size, and then it was thought to be
large enough to answer all purposes
for several years. Soon the fourth
quarter was added, and now with both
round houses full of locomotives on
Sunday score of iron horses stand
outside unsheltered.
This is only one of the many signs
indicative of the growth of the Della
ware and Hudson's interests in this
city. Many will recollect the lively
conflicts between employees of the On
tario and Western and Delaware and
Hudson companies when the former
attempted TO run its road on the Sur
face in the vicinity of the wire bridge
on John street.
The latter hastily constructed num-
ber of obstruction switches and the
Ontario and Western was compelled to
go through town in the air. Every
body said IL was real mean in the Del
aware and Hudson as il would have no
use for those switches during the next
half century. A stroll in that part of
the railroad yard will convince any one
that the Delaware and Hudson was
justified in the course it pursued. All
the switches are in use, and in addi-
tion to those there has since been
constructed a good sized yard. where
the old mill dam lay full of logs.

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Disease Can Be Cured Unless the
Stomach Is First Made Strong
anI va innrnua


This is plain because every organ in
the body depends on the stomach for
its nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew,
blood are made from the food which
the stomach converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with
this, that and the other remedy and
neglect the most important of all, the
stomach.
The earliest symptoms of indigestion
are sour risings, bad taste In the mouth,
gas in stomach and bowels, palpitation,
all-gone feeling, faintness, headaches,
constipation; later comes loss of flesh.
consumption, liver and heart troubles,
kidney diseases, nervous prostration,
all of which are the indirect result Of
poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from indiges-
tion should make it a practice to take
after each meal one of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, allowing it to dissolve
in the mouth and thus mingle with the
saliva and enter the stomach in the
most natural way. These Tablets are
highly recommended by DR.. Jennison
because they are composed OF the ma
tural digestive acids and fruit essences
which assist the stomach in digestlng
all wholesome food before it has time
to ferment and sour.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by druggists, full sized packages at so
cents. They are also excellent for in
valids and children. A book on stom-
