THE PARROT AROUSED HIM.



A peculiar story is related Of the Occi-
dental Hotel and a parrot is the princi-
pal figure in it. The story goes that a
travelling man came to the house some
time ago and when he retired to his room
left word that he wanted to be called in
time to catch an early morning train.
Everything went we'll until about daylight
when he awoke to hear a husky voice call
ing out: Cincinnati paper, cincinnati
paper"
With bound the travelling man was on
his feet in the middle of the floor with
feeling in which reproach for himself for
having oversight himself was only exceed
ed by his resentment against me clerks
and bell-boys for not having called him ac-
cording to schedule. Communing with him.
self he thought: Now, l know those Gin
cinnati papers don't get here until late in
the morning and I've lost whole day by
this delay.
Pulling on his clothes he rusned into the
office. swearing all the way down tie stairs
only to find the mig L clerk taking life easy
between maps and all the bell boys and por-
ters curled up in chairs
One look at the clock over the desk
stopped all his reproaches, however. for 1t
indicated that he was up about two hours
too early for his train. Explaining the
cause for his early rising he saw smile
spread over the face Of the clerk. Inquir-
ing the reason for the laugh at his expense
he received the solution of the mystery.
'Oh, that's an old story" said the clerk.
you see, we have a parrot up stairs VINO
has heard Reuben Glue sell Cincinnati
papers in front Of the hotel for so long
that he screams out the words in imitation
of him as soon as day breaks. You had bet

YOUNG LAWYERS
Are Allowed to Brief Cases for the
Attorney Generals Office.

zone would scarcely expect to find
benevolence figuring to any great extent
in the States department of law" said a
prominent state official recently. land yet
the attorney generals office has for sew
eral years been quietly carrying on a work
Of that kind. Everybody will agree that
helping young men to get on in the world
Is benevolent practice of the most COM
mendable kind. That is exactly what the
States chief exponent of law has been do
ing for a long time.
1T is pretty generally known that this
branch Of the State government has about
all the business 1t can attend to. in the
way of writing opinions and briefing cases
In the Supreme and Appellate Courts.
There Is. naturally. a considerable num-
ber Of cases in these courts which do not
absolutely demand the personal attention
or the attorney general, and which can be
cared for as well by others. For several
years IL has been the custom to allow
young attorneys of the Indianapolis bar to
write briefs in such of the cases may
safely be intrusted TO them. This practice
has resulted in surprises on more than one
occasion Novices in the law have devel-
oped remarkable legal acumen, and their
briefs have, In a majority of instances,
proved effectual to win the cases in which
they were filed. One young lawyer who
feels grateful to the attorney general for
the valuable schooling in the law given
him by that official Is Mr.. Alfred E. Dick
ey, who now enjoys a lucrative practice.
He has been succeeded I'm the work of
helping out the attorney general by Mr..
Rowland Evans, the official stenograpner
for the United States Courts i'm this city.
Mr. Evans has acquired a considerable
knowledge of the law from his constant
association with attorneys and jurists in
his capacity as court reporter. He has,
besides, taken up the study of law during
leisure moments, with the result that be-
fore very long he will abandon his present
profession and enter the field of law He has
been briefing state cases to the two higher
courts for some time, and with entire sat-
isfaction to the legal department of Indi-
ana. The most important case Mr.. Evans
has undertaken to pilot through the Su-
preme Court TO a victorious decision is a
tax appeal from one of the counties in
volving several hundred dollars of dis
puted taxes. If he wins this case the
State Board OF Tax Commissioners has
agreed to let him have 10 per cent of the
amount recovered, which will constitute a
very good fee for a comparative beginner
The County Commissioners OF the county
from which this case was appealed were
so confident that Mr.. Evans would win il
In the court above that they declined TO
make any agreement TO allow him extra
in case of success. Mr. Ev-
ans has also been studying the question
OF the ownership OF the bed of the Ohio
river, and has some unique and entertaIn-
ing ideas on the subject"

ELECTION SCANDAL CASE
WILL PROBABLY COME To TRIAL IN
THE CIRCUIT COURT TO-DAY.
Charles n. Elliott Is COntesting the
Election of John +. GeckIer-
Fraud Is Charged.

1t is the understanding that the suit of
Charles n. Elliott against John F. Geckler
will go to trial in the Circuit Court this
morning. The suit is to have the court in
vestigate the vote by which Mr.. Geckler
was elected to the office of city clerk at the
last election, Mr.. Elliott being the Repub-
can candidate. The suit of John NJ. Wall,
the Republican candidate for police judge
against William c. DAILY, who was declared
elected, Is also pending. Mr.. Elliott and
Mr.. Wall are represented by the law firm
of Harding & Hovey. w. w. Spencer and
Joseph E Bell will represent the defense.
The complaint filed by Dir. Elliott alleges
fraud in counting the ballots for city clerk
and many precincts are involved In the
charges The first action taken by the de-
fense after the complaints were filed was to
ask Judge Allen to require the attorneys for
htr. Elliott to make his complaint more
specific. The court held that the complaint
was sufficiently specific. A demurrer to the
complaint was then filed and this was over
ruled.
An answer was filed denying all the alle-
cations of the Elliott complaint and aver
ring that Geckler received plurality of the
votes cast for city clerk and was duly
elected. The answer also claimed that in
each ward votes were cast for Geckler that
were not counted to his credit and 1t was
declared that votes were wrongfully count
ed for Elliott The answer further averred
that the ballots which the plaintiff insisted
should have been counted for him were not
credited to him because they were not
properly marked. Saturday Mr.. Elliott's
attorneys filed general denial to the allie
cations set up in the answer.
The protested ballots will be brought into
court and examined in the presence of
Judge Allen, and many of the election off,
GERS will be summoned as witnesses, it is
said.

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company,
 Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns a very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of BiSbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper ! Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has ! been in operation TOT about twenty years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,000, ,00O pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over S2,0O0,0 ,0G0, and It has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em-. ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep i 1t in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopnent.
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is within such close proximity to such won derful mine?
 The blasts set oft in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heaId at tie shaft Of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners Of these ya!u- able mines are local business men, well and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise d success in every respect. The board O. directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as che mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, aud as a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest ip escrow for term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and linn tied number of shares are offered at ten cents per share. No application for loss than 100 shares will be &C., cepted. The company reserve the right ct any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion. ,.
 HNoiy CSnt IeCtlfeu rum tue SdlS Oi stock will be. expended toward the de- Yelopment Of our property and the erection of hCisting works, and al, other necessary improvements, and tn make our enterprise success in every particular. &.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely serutinize our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of, the com pany, or to any of our legally author ized representatives.
