Senator Hayward, of Nebraska,
the good republican who succeed
ed Allen, the dem-pop whose torn
expirsdWith the lost Congress, is
in Washington. When asked his
opinion Of the political outlook,
Senator Hayward replied: So
far as I can; see the outlook is
good for tho republicans to re-
main in power. President Nc
Kinley's administration is we'll
liked by the people generally
The democrats may try to make
some capital opt of the expansion
policy, so-cslled, but it isn't
going to aid them much. I know
very few expansionists, pure and
simple, and there is nobody suges-
ting that We: reach out and take
territory here over the globe.
The Philippine question is a prac-
tical one; we nave the islands on
our hands, and for the present, at
least, will hold them" Senator
Hayward expressed the opinion
that the republicans would carry
Nebraska next year, but added
that it would require a lot Of hard
work.

matte appointments were made

COMPULSORY EDUCATION
An Accounting Must Be made for
Three Hundred Pupils.

The compulsory school law passed
by the late legislation has bse1 SGT in
operation in this district and results
are expected next week. The clerk OF
the board of trustees compiled list OF
the pupils not attending school and
yesterday turned it over to the sheriff,
who will begin en- Monday to in
crease the enrolment OF the public
schools. The list includes 315 pupils
OF the age described in the compulsory
Iaw-mCre than twenty per cent OF
all the pupils of school age in the dis
trict. The list is obtained by COM
parison Of the enrollments Of the va
rious public schools with the enumer-
alton. The former is subsracted from
the latter. There was originally 459
pupils on the compulsory list, but 115
of them have been. found attending pr
waite schools or have otherwise been
satisfactorily accounted for.
There is no way to evade this law,
for it has teeth for everybody who has
anything to do with it. The clerk Of
the board is compelled to make SUIT
the list of delinquents and give it to
the sheriff under penalty of fine of
$40 for each Cffense. The sheriff is
SO-iE ~ 81 NAASAN bA4S- OAAAAoAN -
the list attend school and for each
neglect of his duty he is liable to a
fine CT $50. The cooperation of the
parents or guardians OF delinquent
children is encouraged by the prospect
Of a fine ranging from So to 25 for re-
fusal or neglect to compel the childrSn
under their care to attend school.
Children are exempt from the opera
tiCn of the law under certain condi
tions. They may be taking private les
sons at home under competent teach
els. They may be attending private
schools or they may have partially
completed the studies of the grade Of
this year. They may be necessary to
the support, or the partial support of
a family, in which case they may be
excused by the board of trustees.
What is to be dlone with 300 more
pupils is a problem. The public schools
are already filled and the fifth grade is
full to overlooking There is one room
IN the central building which might
be fitted up, but there is only standing
room everywhere else. The district |
will plainly be under the necessity OF /
building another school house. The |
Darochial and private schools are also |
filed. So that there is hardly room |
'or another pupil. But room will be !
made some how.

SUBLET HIS WINDOWS
A PhoeniCian'S Experience Wi n The
Yelled Prophets

A Phoenix merchant who would
rather not have his name mentioned in
connection with the incident, tells a
good story relative to the high rates OF
hotels in New York during the late
Dewey celebration and the priacely
fortunes paid fer the use III a window
along the line of parade. Some years
st. Louis during one of the festivals
of the Yelled Prophets He was reg
ularly quartered at a hotel, for he in
tended to remain in the city several
days. He returned to his hotel one
evening weary of the carnival. indiffer-
ent to the glories of the famous parade,
which was going to take place that
night. What he wanted more than
anything else was rest and sleep.
He went to his room and was sur
prised to find the door open, the light
turned on and the two windows over
looking the street filed with an eager
and noisy crowd of men and women,
young and old, impatiently waiting for
the parade.
AS soon as the Phcenician could en-
list the attention of his visitors he
said: Ladies and gentlemen, [ beg
your pardon but you have gotten into
the wrong room. This is mine.
That's all right" said an elderly lady
but we've rented this window and
we're going to be here till the process
sions ever" Very we'll" said the
Phoenician, Il can stand it if the rest
of you can, only L hope you won't
make any more noise than is necessary
for 1 am awful sleepy" He removed
his coat and vest, threw his suspenders
off his shoulders and took off his
shoes. Then he took a night shirt
from his valise and ostentatiousIy
shook the creases out of it
You make another move" cried
the elderly lady, land I'll have the
landlord up here" 1 have a nction to
send for him myself" said the Phoe-
nician, ito ask how my windows came
TO be sub-let." Then he drew the
night shirt over his shoulders. By
this time he was a bigger object G: iu-
terest than the Yelled Prophets
Somebody call the police suggested
tbs elderly lady as the Ph0enician
seated himself On the side of the bed
and deity removed his trousers from
beneath the folds of the night shirt.
Some illadvised person did ring b=ll
and boy came. He was Historically
for the landlord or some
one in authority. A clerk came and
was requested to remove the Phoenic-
ian from the room until after the pa
rade had gone by. The clerk instead, |
removed the crowd hurriedly and apol-

will give small yield of vines and in
addition furnish a supply of green
peas. The best varieties for this pur-
pose were found to be the Yorkshire
Hero and Champion of England.
The white sweet-clover already
mentioned makes a luXuriant growth
during the summer. but grows little
during the winter when the trees are
dormant. For summer growth it
seems to be no better than alfalfa. If
permitted to grow two seasons, it dies
at the end of the second. 1t may be
plowed under green, or simply be al
lowed to die and decay upon the sur
face
The benefits from the winter-grown
n-manuring crops are four-fold at
east In the first place, the soil is
thus covered during portion OF the
year and the exhaustion Of decayed
vegetation by the heat of the sun re-
tarded. In the second place, plant
food that would otherwise be washed
away by rains and irrigation is appro-
priated by growing plants, and thus
saved for the tree. One of the most
important benefits is the improved
physical condition of the soil due to
the decaying of the green matter
turned under. This causes the soil to
bake less after irrigation and to hold
it's moisture longer

TO BE DONE BY FORCE
The Suits against The HddiflOnS
Going On.

City Attorney Darby is closing up
his cases in the suits by the city
against the additions for the extension
OF the city limits. District court will
convene next Monday and the cases
will probably come up early in the
! term. 1t was hoped after the enthusi-
astic meeting at the court house near
ly month ago that annexation might
be accomplished by a friendlier pro-
cess. There was a great deal of talk
after that meeting and there seemed
to be no important opposition in any
of the additions. Petitions were cir
culated and members CT the council
were assured by representative citi-
Zens Of all the additions that they
wanted to come in. Yet not a petition
has been received by the council, nor
has any official information been given
that anything is being done in any of
the additions looking to annexation.
Neither has much unofficial informa-
ton been received by the council or
anybody else lately.
The people of Murphy's addition
have pretty generally signed petition
for admission. In fact, it has been
signed by almost every property owner
ard resident in the northern part
comprising a tremendous majority of
the whole addition. II is coupled with
the condition, though. that the council
admit the whole addition and rescind
the resolution excluding the block and
a narrow strip along the south SIDE.
1t is not likely that the council will act
on the petition when it is presented in
that form. Three of the members
without giving a good and logical rea-
son why, are disposed to stand by the
resolution, though on account Of a
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1899-10-07

recent discovery 1t may have to be
modified. The resolution cuts off the
block by line east from the end Of
Madison street. 1t was probably sup
posed that the street might be ex-
tended along the proposed line, which,
however, runs through a row of lots
for one block and then into an alley.
To extend the street the city would
have to condemn these lots, an ex-
pensive process, and even then 1t
could only condemn the lots within
the limits and have half street.
Without condemnation the city would
be separated from the country only
by an imaginary line, leaving an
awkward situation in making assess
ments. Only half of a lot could be
assessed II might be that only half
of house or even half of a room
would lie within the jurisdiction of
the city. Thus a householder might
have to pay a city tax on his piano in
the north end of his room, while
couch in the south end might escape
1t is even possible that
the city would be reduced to the ex-
tremity of assessing only half piano.

FORCE or HABIT
How Old Stage Drivers are Some
times Affected.

Speaking of hold ups said a Wall
Street character yesterday, when L
used to be a stage driver I was held up
SO often I get into the habit of throw
ing up my hands every time l met any
one after dark. l frequently met peg
pie who were lost or cut of water
and who stopped me for the purpose of
making inquiry. In such cases l was al
ways glad to render assistance of
course. But at any rate 1 always
stopped If the man in the road was
an unfortunate, duty babe me give him
heed, and if he was hignwayman, he
would stop me anyhow, if he wanted
to. One day 1 was driving up the
Black canyon and saw a man in the
road ahead. / thought he was going 70

l pulled up THANK you," he said,
you just saved me the trouble of halt
ing you After | had given him the
box and driven on the passengers all
swore 1 was in with the gang. An
other time when I was driving a gov
eminent ambulance down in Texas
had an experience that was right the
reverse. 1t was a bright sunshiny day
and 1 was driving team of sleek, well
fed government mules. They were
beauties ana CTdNSl0u Ilhe d WIN " ~
when necessity required it. 1t seemed
to me sometimes, as though they had
wings, the way they flew over the
ground. Hold-ups had been frequent
and l had secretly made up my mind
that there was one driver in that coun-
try that would not be held up as lcng
as they did not kill the mules. Sud
denly a man rode up on the side of the
road and motioned for me to halt. l
had the whip in my hand and L just
made one clip with it. The mules
spread their wings, while the ambu-
lance bumped along over the high !
places. 1t was six miles to the next |
station. When I drove into the corral |
l took time to lcok around and there |
in the dim distance the lone hOrseman |
was coming as fast as he could. When |
he got to the station ne walked up to |
me, and said: You drive like h. |

HINTS TO FARMERS
Regarding Plants for the Improve
menf of the Soil.

There has been issued under the di-
the agricultural experiment station. a
circular entitled Timely Hints for
Farmers" 1t embraces information
derived from experiments made at the
station and by farmers Ia the valley
The Republican prints the circular
matter in full as follows:
During the past year the Arizona ex-
! pertinent station has been testing
plants that gave promise Of being use
full fer blowing under to improve the
soil. Special attention has been given
to plants suitable for growth in or
chards. The two best plants tested
were Melilotus indica and alfalfa. The
Melilotus is the plant commonly called
"sour clover" in Arizona. Elsewhere
it is known as yellow sweet-clOver or
Bitter MelilOt. 1t belongs to the same
genus as white sweet-clover (Melilo-
tus albn), the flowers being yellow in
stead of white. 1t is an annual, while
the white-fowered Melilot is a bien-
NAL.
Yellow sweet-clover -(sour clover)
grows naturally throughout the
southwest, being commonly considered
a weed. In southern Arizona it is
quite common in grain fields. these
being the source of the seed used for
sowing in orchards. Seed can be OBJ
tanned where grain has been threshed,
or at grist and rolling mills, the cost
being slight.
The seed will terminate only dur
ing the cool weather from September
to April The earlier it is sown in the
fall the more growth will be secured
for turning under in the spring. If
sown the latter part of September or
the early part of October it will ordi
narily attain height of three to six
inches before being checked by the
cool weather of December and January.
1t may be sown as late as December,
but will not give as heavy yield as
if sown earlier About fifty pounds
of seed should be sown per acre.
The method Of seeding found to BE
the best is to level the ground well,
SOW broadcast, furrow with three
shovel turnover, roll, and irrigate by
running the water in the burrows,
which should be two or three feet
apart. Irrigating it frequently during
the winter will not only increase the
yield. but will benefit the orchard.
It should be plowed under when be
ginning to blossom, which will ordl-
narily be early in April. At this stage
the yield proved to be fifteen to
eighteen tons of green matter or three
to four tons of dry matter per acre
last April. If permitted to grow long
er it becomes more woody, does not
turn under so well and decays less
rapidly. BY attaching a chain to the
pillow all the growth can ordinarily be
turned under
The alfalfa may be sown earlier
than the clover, as the seed will germ
mate during warmer weather. 1t does
best if sown in the same manner as de-
scribed for the clover. AS it does not
grow as rapidly during the winter, it
will usually not be ready to plow I'M
der as early. Thirty pounds of seed
per acre will be sufficient.
Peas sown very thickly (125 to 200
pounds per acre. during fall or winter

THREE COAL MINES START.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 6.-The Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany has issued orders directing that
operations be resumed in three of its
coal mines here, the Central, Sloan and
Hyde Park, which will give employ
ment to about 1,5OO men and boys.
These mines were shut down for an
indefinite period some time ago, caus-
ing great Hardship. Now the increas-
ed demand for coal makes it necessary
to open them again.

THE PALACE HOLD UP
A Variety of Impressions Crowded
into a Half Minute.

The end of the thread which will
lead TO the apprehension and execu-
ton of the men who held up the Pal
ace saloon yesterday morning has not
been picked up yet. Nobody is hunt
ing for it. There isn't any. If the
robbers were captured they could not
be convicted on the testimony of any
body then and there present, for of the
dozen men in the Palace no two agree
upon anything except three facts, the
proof of all of which would not war
rant the conviction and capital pun
ishment of suspects. These facts are
that there was a hold-up; that it was
committed by two men; that enc was
the inevitable long man and the other
the equally inevitable short man, that
iD-assorted combination which pre-
vents railroad, express and stage COM
panies from declaring dividends.
Regarding the personal appearance
of the visitors there are as many de-
scriptions as there were victims. As
to their facial characteristics it could
not be expected that there would be
much definiteness. 1t is hard to tell
just what a man looks like with the
lower part of his face wrapped up in
dirty handke rchief. 7 heir clothing
and hats, though, were exposed to
plain view. Some of the witnesses say
that one had black clothes and the
other light. Others say that both had
light clothes, and still others believe
that the garments of both were black.
AS to the hats, there is a great enough
variety of testimony to stock a hat
emporium. There were black SLOUGH
hats and white SLOUGH hats, many col
Ors and styles of fedoras and SOM
breros. One gentleman thinks the
robbers wore silk hats and were in
their shirt sleeves. Another swears
they had no hats at all, but both wore
heavenly halcs and had blue jump
ers on.
The height of the taller of the two is
fixed variously at from six to eleven
feet, and that of the smaller from four
to eight feet 1t is not to be inferred
from this variety of impressions that
the members of the audience were
scared or even ratified. They were
merely handicapped, for it is well
known physical and historical /
fact that the atmosphere in {
the rear of a revolver of large /
caliber is always haZy and objects in !
it are never seen distinctly. These /
men carried unnecessarily large re-
Volvers.
There were several incidents of the !
hold-up omitted from The Repuhli- !
cans hastily prepared account of it /
yesterday morning. That was TO be /
expected, for the affair was pulled off I
at the very hour of going to press and
much of the information was gathered
by the reporter from men over whom
calmness had not yet resumed full
sway. Everybody knows that an ac-
account CT a great battle written on
the field is filled with inaccuracies
and incompleteness. The real YER
sions valuable in history are written
long after all the participants are dead
and beyond the realm of contradic-
ton The true story of yesterday
mornings affair is yet to be written.
A great deal of criticism was yes
terday heaped upon the judgment of
Gus Hirschfeld in coming out into the
