A telegram from F't. Scott Kansas. says that 'the democrats, silver repub- licans and populists held their state convention there and complete fusion was effected, and that that greate | harmony prevailed. They all mean the same thing no matter what name they assume so that there is nothing startling in the announcement. Kan sas will roll up a big majority for Mo kinley against all the fusions that can | be made in the state.
 The young lady in charge of the cen tral office of the telephone company and | the night watchman at the bank hustled themselves away from the Prescott Electric company's building Tuesday night in short order The foundation on the west side of the building gave way and the building cracked as though 1t were about to fall | This morning great cracks are notice able in the corners of the west wall.

 In mentioning those among the news paper fraternity of Arizona who not only rendered sympathy but offered any assistance in their power to the Jour- nal Miner, the name of w. S Adams. of Jerome, was omitted Mir Adams was among the first to send a kindly mes sage. writing on July 15. the day after | the fire: Please consider myself and office at your disposal for whatever use you may wish to put us."

 The Brisley Drug Co. again comes be- fore our people with a business an nouncement and attention is called to it. MT. Brisley states that his firm was heavy loser by the fire. but sufficient goods were saved, however, to meet any demand and with the stock already en route the house is again ready for any order Mir. Brisley also stated that his faith in the future of Prescott was as firm today as ever and that they 1 will be found in quarters when the re- construction era begins and with a heavier stock of goods than ever.
 l Petty sneak thieves seem to be get | ting in their work in Prescott The only thing saved in the Journal Miner office was a job press which had been placed in it two months before the fire. and some one entered the old place on Saturday evening and stole the chases | belonging to it. They are of no value to any one except a printer and as l there is no printer in Prescott who would be guilty of such a despicable l trick, the party carrying them off must have done so from pure cussedness.
 In view of MT. Bryans remark that the democratic party would be willing to take the votes of all the people who have not had their share of prosperity. and leave the republicans the votes of l the people who have been prosperous. people here are wondering if he will vote for Mckinley for president this year. In 1896 the assessed valuation of MT. BrYan's property was only $210. this year it was S4550, showing that general prosperity has visited Colonel Bryan. As he is one of the prosperous ones, he should certainly vote for MT McKinley.-EX.

 H. E, Armitage still sticks tenacious ly to his theory of an underground stream of water flowing through the southeastern part of town. To demon strate it he started to sink well thers and at depth of thirty-nine feet en- countered such flow of water into 1T tha he was compelled to abandon it, the well being only three feet in diameter and permitting only one man working + kept this man busy all the time bail ing out water to keep himself from drowning, not permitting himself to sink.
