A ROYAL LOVE STORY.
many Brings Forth DOcu-
ments in Evidence.

The disputed love story between the
brilliant Baron Frederick Won der
Trenck and Princess Amelia, sister of
Frederick the Great, has been proved
by the discovery of papers found in the
house built by Baron Trenck. at 81
Kochstrasse, and which has just been
torn down by order of Emperor Will
liam.
The kaiser was greatly excited over
the discovery, and the facts became
known through his own loquacity. He
wished them known to refute the
charges of cruelty made against his an
cestor for keeping Baron Trenck in
prison for ten years.
Even so persistent an investigator as
Carlyle, in his greatest work, declares
there is no truth in the story that Baron
Trenck was the lover of Princess
Amelia.
In tearing down the house, which was
most fortress, there was discovered a
skeleton with broken skull and an
iron box like the treasure chests of old.
This chest was taken Immediately to
the palace and opened in the presence
of the emperor.
In it were found the first draft of the
opening chapters of Baron Trenck's
autobiography, a parchment written
by Baroness Annette, Baron Trenck' 5
sister. setting forth that she purposed
depositing in the strong box sundry
papers sand mementoes relating to Fred
erick. Baron Won der Trenck, and
Amelia, royal princess of Prussia.
Baroness Annette had buried the box,
accordin gto her brothers instructions,
in a subcellar.
There were found a.heavy silver-em-
briodered scarf, such as officers of Fred
erick the Great used to wear about their
waists, and which was evidently pre-
sented to him by Amelia. Several let
ters written by Baron Trenck and the
| princess, which leave no doubt as to the
relationship that existed between them
were also discovered.
CARLYLE describes Baron Trenck as "a
loud-spoken braggart of the histrionic.
| heroic sort. wildly rash and not with.
out mendacity, with transcendent
| and not undeserved bad luck. Baror
| Trenck was born in 1926. He was the
son of a Prussian general and entered
the army at IS. Princess Amelia was
his senior by two or three years. His
manners, his carriage, his manly beauty
and brilliant mind made great impress
sion upon the princess
When his star seemed in the ascend
ant he was arrested by command of tn.
emperor and confined in the fortress o1
Gratz, from which he escaped. He wa.
| again arrested and taken to Madgeburg
where he was kept ten years. He wrot,
a vivid description of this imprison
ment, where he was bound by cola
forged upon his neck. He slept on wha
was intended for his tombstone. Barol
Trenck was released in 1863. He wen
to France to live and there was guillo
tined in 1894 by order of Robespierre.
The baron's love story was made TIL
theme of one of George Sands famou
stories.-Boston Globe.

 Prospector: prominent cattle man states that cattle are doing fine ly and the crop of calves appears to be the largest for many years.
 Bisbee Orb: UD to three weeks ago great many had begun to fear that a complete dry season was before us and were preparing for the inevitable. But now a feeling of safety prevails over all and the rarchers and cattle men have broad smile on their faces that does one good to see.
 Graham Bulletins: Inspector G. Bohse reports 669 head of mixed cat tie shipped from Gilson's siding last week, by the Shanley Brothers The cattle were all in fair order. and were shipped by J N. Porter to Kansas City. On the 2lst inst. Robt- Pringle will ship 500 head of mixed cattle to Kansas City.
 Bisbee Orb: The cattle ranges from Graham county on the north to the Mexican line on the south and from the eastern to the western boundaries of the county are one waving field Of green verdure from four. to six inches high. Cattle are becoming round and sleek, making the ranchers feel happy as though wealth entirely uneXpect edIy had been added to their little swings.

This is the first good rain wt have had since last September, an6 indications are that more will follow The surrounding ranges are now 1T splendid condition, as heavy rain! have fallen in the more elevated sec tions for the last four weeks.
 Stockman Tucson is pleased witf a recent shipment of alfalfa fat bee sent from this valley to the market oi Bayless & Berkalew of that city. Int Citizen quotes Inspector ScholefieIc as stating that the beef is equal to, | not better, than Kansas City stock This latter point has been conceded long since by the consumers of alfalfa beef. It has been tried side by side with refrigerator beef in he northern towns of Arizona, and the verdict wal in favor of the alfalfa's. The field tt be supplied from this valley is con stantly enlarging, with a scarcity o cattle, at the present time.

turned out of the herd of cattle shipped by Geo. A. BoDelli to Phoc- nix. The animal had been without water for several days and was wild with thirst. She made an unexpected lunge at Mr. Kuencer and knocked him down. Kuencer exerted all his strength and kept the animal from goring him and finally got on his feet where he held onto the maddened animals horns, meanwhile calling lustily for help. J. c. Potts and several other men rushed to his assistance and they soon overpowered the COW and tied CT securely to fence post. MT. Kuencer was badly shaken up, but re- ceived no severe injuries. Had the COW run across less muscular man than Mir. Kuencer, the result would have been very different. And now that this subject has been brought up in so startling way we hope our officers will hereafter prevent animals from running at large within the linn it's of the town.

ECHOES OF THE WAR.

"A returned Cleveland volunteer tells
In the Plain Daler a good story Of a
comrade, a German Of means from Wis
consin, who in a fine spirit OF patriot
ism had enlisted as a private soldier.
He proved a good one, but the exacting
duties Of camp life soon grew irksome,
One night he was detailed to stand
guard over an ammunition wagon. 1t
was a chilly night and the rain was
falling. To and fro he plodded unit
his patience vas exhausted.
Corporal Of der guard" he roared.
No attention was paid to him and he
called again. Then the corporal ap-
preached him.
''Dake my gum" he said, and watch
dees Vaughn a leetle vile, l want to &c
und speak nit de colonel"
The corporal OF the guard demurred
but the German insisted, and finally
the good-natured ''non-comish" took
his place.

private saluted.

The colonel knew the German init
mately. In fact, Louis, as everybody
| called him was a general favorite, ant
highly regarded by all who knew thu
story OF his personal sacrifice.
Whats it WORTH" repeated thu
smiling officer.
Yes, vot's 1t worth? Is it worth nv
hoondred dollars?"
More than that, l guess" said thu
colonel.
"Is it worth a thousand dollars?"
Yes" said the colonel, Il should sa!
its value was Just about that amount.
Den" said the German, I'll ri
you my check for a tousand dollars
und you let me go back to mein ten
und go to bed"
The colonel gasped at this astonish
ing offer, then he roared.
The German had to go back to Mi
guard duty, but the colonel soon re
1ieved him.

G. H.. Parmelee, state superintendent
Of public instruction, said in his late
report: III l had but one recommen-
dation to make it would be that the
legislature provide the school children
of the state with free text books. Many
OF the advantages are obvious Inc /
would respectfully refer to the reports
of my predecessors, both of whom are
very poorly supplied with them"
In no way does it lie open to the
Fifth state legislature to render such
a signal and lasting benefit to the
schools. 1t should be done now. AL
most the only objection to the system
OF free text books. as already pointed
out by Hon. Estelle Reel in her last
report, has been the fact that such &C
ton would require a very large origi-
nal outlay, which our legislature did
not wish to place upon the people al
though such an outlay would result in
a great saving hereafter Even this
objection applies with much less force
at the present time, and, in view of
what is about to be explained, it dwin-
dies to almost nothing. During the
past six months the state has selected
state lands in lieu of original school
sections amounting to more thar 3OO,-
900 acres. These lands have all been
leased at an annual rental of 5 cents per
acre, producing an annual income for
the common school fund of the state
of SIS, 900. This mount is ii excess
of the land income fund of previous
years. and will be available for distri-
button in the coming year. This will
furnish an ample fund for the original
outlay, there will be required no In
crease in taxation whatever, and at the
same time there will be a substantial
saving to the patrons of the schools in
relief from book buying. There will
be no time in the future when the mat
ter a be SO easily accomplished as
now, and it is hoped that the legisla-
