The appointment was first tendered tn Hon. Burt Dunlap, of Wilcox, but owing to private business of import. ance. Mir. Dunlap could not find his way clear to accept, ard recommend
 ed Mr. Carpenter. Mir. Carpenter is well known throughout Arizona, and ought to make an efficient agent for the government in this special wolk. The duties are important, and it Is the hope of this journal that he ser
 vice rendered all over the range coun. try will be such as will fully warrant the extra expense gone into by the department, and that it will fully demonstrate the value of such census to an extent that the department will most willingly favor plan to do this annually, in order that the country may at all times know the exact statue of her meat supply. It will be A great help to the cattlemen every where, and in this connection we will again say that the value to him Of ths classified census rests entirely with him, in the returning of correct figures this summer. It rests with the owners of stock entirely to make of the work a grand success or a dis nal failure. We should dislike very much to record in the fall that it re- su. ted in the latter StockmaD.

Wood Is Wood.

Owing to the government having stopped indiscriminate cutting of wood upon the public domain, all wood now coming into Nogales is compelled to pay a stumpage of one dollar per cord. and the supply is greatly diminished. To meet the in. creased cost the woodyard of Hogan & Go. will hereafter charge seven dol lars per cord for wood, and no wood will leave the yard to fill any order without the cash in advance.

Chitd Thieves.

It is rather alarming to note the number Of cases of Kidnapping which have occurred within the city limits within the past month. Scarcely a day passes but there is some complaint or some story afloat in the streets of child being stolen from it's home. The most peculiar part of this is hat the robbery is often done not for the pur- pose of gain; for in many cases the children taken belong to people of the very lowest class. Sometimes the children stolen are taken by beggar women who wish to use them as de. coys in their trade. A few days ago a woman O tue middle c.ass. found her child, who had been missing two UT three weeks. A woman stopped her in,ihe streets with pitifnl story of destitution and houseful of children at home She had in her arms little child whom she claimed was starving because she had oihing with which to feed It.. The mother who shortly before lost her own child by kidnap- ping, took Inc little one out of the arms of the beggar woman; when what was her surprise to discover that It. was her own child that she held in her arms. She at once accused the beggar woman of the theft; when the latter fled leaving the child behind her.
 Last week::a man snatched child out of a carriage as nurse was wheel ing it along the street. Several of the spectators started in pursuit of the thief, who finding himself in danger of being captured, dropped the little one on the street and succeeded in mixing his escape.
 Several days ago woman who gave her name as Michaela went to lodge with Maria Miranda at No. C del Puen- te de los Gallos, where she remained for fe ~ days, when she disappeared taking with her the daughter of the portera, which was only fifteen days old. since which time she has not been heard from Mexican Herald.

MR.. BLACKBURN DISTRESSED.
He Declares That the shooting Was n
CowardIy Outrage.

The news of the attempted assassination
of Mr.. Goebel, at Frankfort, yesterday,
fell with crushing weight upon Senator
eject ]. c. s. Blacburn. He not only felt
that dastardly outrage had been COM
mitted. but the affair was in the nature
| of n personal affiiction. When the de-
spatches were read to him at the Hotel
Normandie, little after noon, Mr.. Black
burn broke down and wept.
1T is a Cowardiy outrage" he said.
Political enemies have schemed and
plotted against him. and some tool OF
theirs has done this deed. Politics is at
the bottom of the whole affair Goebel
was fairly elected governor, and fearing
that justice might be done the assassin's
bullet has laid him low. Goebel is a
great man. a true friend. and a bitter
enemy, and Kentucl1ians will one day ap-
preciate him and his work
MIR. Blackburn sought at ou2e to verify
the unweIcome news. He obtained tele-
phone connection with Frankfort Ky,
and cOnversed with the sergeant-a t-arms
OF the State senate. Not only a
fun confirmation OF the news was thus
received but MIR. Blackburn was told that
the doctors who had examined Mr. Goe-
bells wounds feared that he had small
chance Of recovery. The sergeant-at- arms
stated to Mr.. Blackburn that Mr. Goebel's
brother. with two expert surgeons, was
coming by train from Cincinnati.
Mr.. Blackburn stated 20 a friend at 4;30
o'clock yesterday afternoon that he had
never been so shaken UP by any event in
his whole life. He refused to talk further
about the matter. and left irou-clGd orders
at the Office of the Normandie that he
would receive no one. In fact it was
stated that he was not in the hotel This
gave color to he rumor started earlier in
the day that Mr.. Blackburn would take
the night train for Kentucky in company
With his daughter. They had not left the
city, however, at an early hour this morn
ing.
That the attack on Mr.. Goebel comes
close home TO Senator elect Blackburn is
inferred from the fact that it vas rumored
some time ago that Miss Blackburn was
betrothed TO Mr. Goebel. The report was
denied but the matter has been freely
talked about. not only in Washington, but
in Lexington. Frankfort, and Louisville as
well. Despite the denial of the engage
ment it was generally believed to be true,
inasnuch as it was practically admitted
that Miss blackburn was TO marry a gem
tleman of prominence in Kentucky.
Furthermore a statement emanated from
the Hotel Normandie last night. the home
of the Blaekbu-ns. to the effect that Miss
Blackburn had been making preparations
to go TO Kentucky for day or two past.

Mr.. EDDY'S COMPLAINT
A Question of Personal Privilege
Raised in the House.
An Imposier Who Claims to BE An
thorized to Sell Copies of ''The
Messages and Papers of the PreSi-
dents,- the Proceeds to BE Given
to the Republican Campaign Fund.

In the House yesterday, as soon as the
journal had been read, Mr. Eddy OF Minne-
sofa rose to a question of personal priv
ilege which he said really affected every
member in the House. He had read an
extract from letter he had received from
S. A. Thomas, editor of a newspaper pub
lished in his district. The letter stated
that man named Taylor had come into
Mr.. Eddy's district stating he had been
sent there to dispose Of eighty-fiye sets Of
the work known as Messages and Papers
of the Presidents which he said had been
allotted to his district. The money de-
rived from the sale of tine books. the
agent explained to some, went to the Re-
publican campaign fund; to others, that it
went to the committee on distribution.
Mr.. Eddy denounced the agent as a fraud,
saying he did not represent any member
Of the House.
Mr.. Richardson. compiler of the Mes
sages and Papers of the Presidents" said
he had nothing whatever to do with the
sale OF the books. He had come into pos
session of a duplicate set of plates by act
of Congress and had made an arrange
ment with a reputable firm of publishers
in New York, from whom he received
small royalty, to print the work. and il
was disposed of under their sole control.
II the agent alluded to by the gentleman
from Minnesota (Mr. Eddy). said Mr.. Rich
ardson, had made the representations
stated in the letter he was fraud and
should be branded as such.
Mr.. Eddy discIaimed any intention OF
renecting upon Mr.. Richardson.
Mr.. DalZell by unanimous consent called
up Senate Joint Resolution which was
passed. granting permission for the erec-
tion of monument in the District OF CO.
lumbia for the ornamentation of the Ma
tionai Capital. and in honor OF Samuel
Hahnemann. Mr. DalZell said similar
joint resolution which he had introduced
had been favorably reported from the
House Committee on Library.
The resolution provides that permission
be granted the Hahnemann Monument

Homeopathy to erect monument in hon.

Former Representative John d. White,
Republican, who is contesting the seat Of

Senator Mason's resolution of enquiry il
regard to an alleged interview with the

pro-Boer attitude. had already been fcre-
stalled by the State Department
A week ago the Secretary CT State called
the interview to the attention OF Lord
Pauncefote. the British Ambassador. and
requested him to make an Investigation TO
ascertain whether the remarks attributed
to the consul were authentic. 1t appears
that the consu! before receiving instruc-

to a friend in Washington denying the iu-
teryiew. His official answer to Lord
Paunoefote's enquiry has not been received
but il is expected before the Senate passes
on the Mason resolution.
