A SLICK GAME.
i New BHnCO Play Which Works
 SmGOth.

remarkably slick scheme is being
 worked, swihd;ing the merchants. A
 stranger steps into the store and says to
 the proprietor: ''I see by that sign that yon have the same maine and initials
 that I have-very stTauge-and We may
 get mixed little on account of it. am
 going into the jewelry business, and am
 looking for some goods in a few days The draymen will probably bring them to you not knowing the difference. and as ! will be away for week, will you please take care of tlem until return ?'' The merchant kindly consents to do SO: The stranger then orders $500 worth of jewelry in the merchants name from some large wholesale firm. which looks up the rating of the merchant, finds him all right, and sends him the goods They arrive and are delivered, as the stranger thought" they might be Af- ter few days the stranger returns, finds the goods at the store of the merchant who has the same name as himself, pays the drayage and insists on paying the merchant something for his trouble, etc. He takes the goods and skips out. The business man feels as though lie had done kind act and hardly gets through batting himself on the back till bill for jewelry comes from the wholesale house. As the merchant received the goods. he is compelled to pay for them, It is a remarkably slick trick.-PIos@ DactOr

A Mark --ed Characteristic.

One evening recently, at gathering of little folks in Nogales. ntfeman who was present amused the children with life-like limitations of the moving of a cat, barking of dog, neighing of a horse, etc. The small people were much taken with the performance and they reeollected the performer wi tn keen interest, telling all about it. One little lady, upon relating the matter, was asked by her father:
 "Who is the gentleman"
 'I don't know his name," was the quick reply, "but he is a man with 8 Pompadour nose" Oasis.

Double Murder at CalabaSaS.

Sunday morning word came from Judge Cummings at Rancho del BOsque, that double murder had been commit ted at Owens ranch the night before. Deputy Sheriff Thompson and Constable Brodrick went out to investigate, and returned late in the evening, bringin the following particulars:
 The murdered men were Jim Peters, an old settler who had lived in the vicin- ity of Calabasas the past wenty years, and an old German prOspectOr whose name is'unknown. They were stopping at the house of Mir. Owens, who is in Nogales, sick. When Kettlewell came down he and the driver of the convey ance which brought him, stopped over night at this ranch, Thursday night, and Peters arranged with the driver of the conveyance te take him to Tucson when he returned. In accordance with tbat arrangement the man stopped at the ranch Saturday afternoon. Seeing no sign of life he entered and was mortified at the sight which met his gaze. Stretch ed upon the floor in death lay the two men, each with a bullet hole in his skull. IL was evident that they he'd been seated at the table, taking meal. The partly filled cups of coffee, and the plates with foods upon them confirmed that assumption, and the still lighted lamp indicated that they were at snpper Friday evening when the stealthy as sasins slipped in and dispatched them. No clue was found to the murderers,- Evcbopoo

Arizona is pretty swift territory. It is proposed to have woman suffrage, and Gov. Murphy runs few laps ahead of some of the older states by making a recommendation to that effect. It is doubtful if rizona women want equal suffrage. That our solons will not make a izze of it, why not let the ladies vote eide the matter themselves.-Prospec- for.

In view OF his close personal relations
with Mr.. Mckinley. the statement in a
report made to the war department. by
Gen. Leonurd Wool, that the military
control Of Cuba will have to continue for
"a long time, is regarded as significant.
That sort OF opinion from our officers vii
he made to justify All indefinite military
occupation Of the island, Notwithstanding
present talk OF municipal elections over
there, in the spring, If the people OF this
country do not compel different action on
the part Of the administration.
The administration is Growing londly
brca,,se the August financial statement
shows IL surplus Of little more than four
r,illon dollars, but it is not calling any
lnnlv's attention to the fact that more
than three millions of that SUI pins came

over. There is bound to be another big
deficit at the close Of this fiscal year, just
as there was at the close Of the last. A
small surplus in several n ontls OF the
