NARRAoANsETT MYSTERY
Deoomposed Body Washed Ashore In.
dicates Foul Play.

Narragansett Pier. R. l.. Aug. 12.-The
murdered man whose body was found
early Friday morning on Scarborough
beach, was killed many hours before he
was thrown into the ocean. The rapid
decomposition of the body today shows
this fact beyond question. AS the body
had been in the water only short time
when found, 1t was supposed that the
crime had been committed q few miles
from the spot.
Today's developments, however, put a
new light on the question The hypothesis
now Is that the victim, belonging In New
York. was killed not far from home, the
body was then carted aboard some boat
and dropped overheard.

Wm Soon Come Marching Home.


 The men comprising Col. McCord s regiment are expected home now very soon. A Washington telegram speak ing of this regiment says: "The First territorial regiment of volunteers will receive larger sum of money per capita than the other organizations similarly discharged from the military service, This is due to the fact that the homes of the men are anywhere from twelve hundred to twenty-two hundred miles from the camp at Albany, Ga., where they were mustered out.
 The officers and men will receive 1T addition about two months pay travel allowance, rate days and pa. every 20 miles between Albany ant the point where the original enlist ment took place. Colonel McCor' gets $l 900 and the privates draw iron $125 to 1925. The amount paid tn regiment exceeds $50, ,000.".

A letter lately received by Miss Florence Wells brings the pleasant news that her brother Philip, regiment al postmaster in the First Territorial Volunteer Infantry, lately stationed at Albany, Georgia, will soon be at home again, since Col. McCord has announced that the troops are to be mustered out immediately. We shall all be very glad to welcome Ph il. back to old Tucson, and especially will we be pleased if he decides to return to the U. of A. where we could no doubt be able to convince him that the life at our school is much more pleasant than that of a soldier.-[Sage Green ard Silver.

Ex-Governor Lewis Wolhey says the
 egislature could perform no nobler act than to pass bill pensioning Col. Charles D. Poston. Col. Poston was the father of Arizona. Being an old personal friend of President Lincoln, Col. Poston went on to Washington iu 1863 and in December of that year had the satisfaction of securing the sigma ture of the president to bill creating the territory of Arizona from the west half of New Mexico. Col. Poston was also the first delegate to Congress from the territory, and in our early days did more than any one man to advance the interests of the territory and to attract capital here. h the whirligig of time all his fortune has been swept away and now he is nearly at the end of life's journey without an income. Even when granted pension it would not have to be paid for very long, as the Colonel has pretty nearly run his race. I hope to see the matter acted upon at once-[ Republican.

Farms Toe Bid for Inc Farme,,

Much of the success of the farmer de- bends on the relationship between the farmer and his farm. Some men can manage an eighty-acre farm success fully, but break down when it comes to 160 acres. Others can manage a quarter, but can not manage half section. A team must always have greater power than the load which it is required to draw. There should always be reserve power available when it comes to the hill or the mud hole. The farmer must always be bigger than his farm; the editor must always be larger than his paper; the business man, if he would always be successful, must always be capable of handling larger business than he actually does. In short, there must always be a reserve power available for emergencies. The weaker must always be a servant of the stronger. When the farm is larger than the farmer, it runs the farmer instead of the farmer running it. In that case the farmer goes under. Some man capable of handling the farm must get hold of it before it becomes profitable invest ment. Our readers who have anything of a large acquaintance can easily verify the truth of these remarks. Hence the necessity of the farmer educating himself and becoming always not only as large as his farm, but great deal larger.-T Wallace's Farmer.

Advertising has Commercial Rating.

 County publishers receive subscrip- tions now and then from city firms who can have no interest in the local news of the paper. This paragraph in the New York Times may explain the reason for these "far-away" subscrip- tions:
 "A wholesale grocer in this city who has become rich at the business, says his rule is that when he sells bill of goods on credit to immediately sub scribe for the local paper of his debtor. So long as his customer advertised, he rested, but as soon as he began to com tract his advertising space he took the fact as evidence that there was trouble ahead and invariably went for the debtor. Said he: "The man who is too poor to make his business known is too poor to do business. The with drawal of an advertisement is evidence of weakness that business men are not slow to act upon. There is nothing like it."
