 the-road movement from becoming alarming. In the east they are proudly showing his letter of ac- ceptance of 1892 containing a declara- tion in favor of sound money. A funny story is recalled by this letter of ac- ceptance. It appears that Cleveland became alarmed during the campaign of 1892 over the charge of the republi- cans that only single life would stand between the country and fiat money in case of the success of the democratic national ticket, on account of Steven sons greenback record. Some of the democratic managers proceeded to fix this matter up by writing out a nice letter of acceptance, declaring for sound money. which Adlai obligingly signed without making any important altera- tions. Stevenson is even more com- plaisant this year than he was eight years ago, on account of the growing infirmities of age. He would probably sign any paper that the democratic committee could place before him with the assurance that his signature was needed to insure success at the polls.

PH1NIx, JULY eI. 1900.
Although but a few hours have

H
 elapsed since The Republican proposed
 the plan of bonding
 A Maricopa county for
 GOOD half million dollars to
 PLAN. insure the construction
 of the Tonto Basin res eryoir, the responses have been most reassuring. Many prominent taxpay- CTS have signified their acceptance of the plan. It is due to the pub lie that The Republican should say that if the county will show its faith in the water storage idea to the extent of sub scribing a half million dollars worth of bonds capital will be forthcoming to build the much talked of reservoir. The capitalists who, are considering the matter have the many failures in irri- gation schemes in view and will take no step until they can be assured of the cooperation of the people who really have the greatest interest in the establishment of water storage.
 The Republican has pointed out the advantages of the proposed plan. There is not farmer in the Salt River valley who will deny that with water storage this would become a magnificent agri- cultural region. The storage question has been discussed for years and it is the general opinion that without stor- age the valley will never become much more thickly populated than it is now. There are some people who assume that capital has but to ascertain the glorious possibilities that exist here to pour itself into the storage project and make everybody here prosperous. Un- fortunately for these dreamers capital is timid It has seen many irrigation schemes come to naught. Fortunately the conditions in this valley differ
 
 several men of large means have sig nified their willingness to take hold pro- vided the people of the valley will at test to their faith in storage by assum- ing portion of the risk involved.
 Let us assume that the county will bond itself in the amount stipulated and that these capitalists will provide the remainder of the enormous sum re- quired to create great reservoir in the Tonto Basin. Is there a person in this region so blind that he cannot see that the impounding of the flood waters for use in the growing season will bring increased acreage and at least double the population We have now? Would not the placing of 1000 more acres under cultivation and the doubling of our population be a most satisfactory offset to the small per capita increase in taxation? The sue cess of water storage would mean con- stantly growing dividends, and the preferred stock held by the county in return for its bonds would become source of income that in time would ovsrbalance the interest on the bonds. The scheme Is a good one. It is to be hoped that the citizens of this valley will give it careful consideration.

pi1kerton Won the Kace.

At one Of the regattas of the Nation
al Association of American Oarsmen
during the e"rly nineties James Pilker-
ton, for many years the champion soul
Ter of America, was matched to row
double against another team. He and
his mate were the champions. and the
general belief was that they would win
without effort But the night before
the regatta public opinion sudden
and mysteriously changed. Mr.. Pill
kerton knew that this was not caused
by any new development Of strength
in his opponent or any loss Of skill on
his own part. After making some quiet
inquiries he discovered that there was
talk of his rowing mate having been
bought up by the other side and of an
arrangement to throw the race.
He didn't say anything about his sus-
picions, but when the two men We're
seated in the shell and were we'll out
into the deep water he leaned over to
his mate and said:
Look her. you blooming cutthroat!
You've got to swim, drown or win this
race! You know me-" He won.-Sat-

Miss Caledonia Young were married
at her home in Grand Junction. DR..
A. u. Brooks is man too well known
TO eulogize. HIS genial hospitality.
his keen business ability, his affabili-
ty and unquestioned integrity have
long marked him as a gentleman
among his fellow men. Society and
the country about and in Audubon
have so long depended upon him that
they would scarce know how to get
along without him. She who has won
him as lord and master will find no
domineering lord, but one who will
live to make life sweet and happy.
The bride is one to whom society and
all people bow to as their queen and
sovereign. Her every act is deed Of
love and charity. Strong in those
traits of character that help the world
to grow better, she is friend to all.
Purity and nobility are marked in
every lineament of her features. She
is an ornament to any society and in
gaining her in their midst, Audubon
gains one who will help and aid in all
things good. We speak for them a
happy life and add our wishes of ioy
to those of all their frienus. They ar
rived home this morning and we un-
derstand will be at home to their
friends at their residence on South

A Story of CuIberson.

In the Fifty-frst congress, when
Speaker Reed first gained the title Of
Gear" by his arbitrary decisions judge
Culberson was one of his strongest
supporters, although he gave the speak
er no public Endorsement, for political
reasons. One afternoon while the Dem
ocrats were in terrible tumult over a
decision of the speaker and the pro-
ceedings of the house were very near
riot thunderstorm came up When
the confusion was highest, a binding
flash of lightning and terrible crash
of natures artillery startled every soul
on the floor and caused a profound 81
lence. Judge Culberson, like every
body else, was deeply moved, but was
the, first to recover "That was God
Almighty, sir calling this house to or
DER" he exclaimed in an impressive
tone, addressing the speaker. Then,
turning to his colleagues, he said, "Now
let us proceed to business like men"

Able to Hear 1t.

1t is well known that Joseph Medill
of the Chicago Tribune was somewhat
deaf, although his ability at times to
hear what was said in an ordinary tone
of voice was frequently remarked.
1t is related Of him that he dropped
into the business department of the Of
flee one day to make an inquiry about
something that had occurred to him,
and young man who had been in his
employ only few months undertook
in a loud tone of voice to enlighten him.
What did you say?" asked Mr. Me-
dill, putting his hand to his ear
The young man repeated the question
in still louder voice.
II can't hear YOU said the editor.
"Oh, chase yourself around the block,
you old granny" muttered the impa-
tent employee just above his breath.
Il am not an old granny" said Mr..
Medill, turning away, land shall not
chase myself around the block"
The fresh young man made imme-
date arrangements to say goodby to
his job, but the great editor probably
thought that the lesson he had received
was sufficient and did not disturb him.

Watch Sprinrs.

The watch carried by the average
man is composed Of SO pieces, and its
manufacture embraces more than 1000
distinct and separate operations.
Hairspring wire weighs one-twer-
ueth of a grain to the inch. One mile
of wire weighs less than half a pound.
The balance gives five vibrations
every second. 300 every minute, $4,000
every hour. $4,000 every day and 1877
6S0,OO0 every year.
The value of springs when finished
and placed IN watches is enormous il
proportion to the material from which
they are made. A ton Of steel made
up into hairsprings when in watches
is worth more than 1917 times the
value Of the same weight in pure
gold.

BARS ILLEGAL VOTES
New and Effective Rule Operates in
 Boston.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 14.-After today it is going to be more difficult for an alien to be naturaliZed in Boston than it has been in the past. Judge Lowell of the United States district court re- gently formulated some new rules gov erning the matter and he announces that these rules will become effective tomorrow in time to throw some extra difficulties in the way of those desirous of casting an illegal ballot at the polls in November Under the new regula- tions applicants for citizenship will be obliged to file their papers ten days in advance, and their names and ad- dresses will be conspicuously posted in the federal building. Objections there to may be made in writing, and such objections will be heard. together with the application. In an individual case, for special causes shown by petition setting out the exceptional circum- stances. the time of posting may be shortened to not less than two days. The oath of the applicant will not be deemed sufficient to establish his age at the time of his arrival in the United States, but he may, at the discretion of the court, be examined concerning the same. The judge announces, moreover that the applicants may expect search ing inquiries concerning their knoWl- edge of American affairs.

WAITS ON DIPLOMATS
No Apparent Hurry to Remove Troops-Missionary Says Chinese in All Provinces Are We'll Armed. Earl Ii Declares Looting at Pekin Was An Incentive to Allies in March on Capital.

Washington, Sept. 14.-There were no developments in the Chinese negotia- tions today with which the public could be made acquainted, the whole matter being still in a diplomatic phase and therefore not calling for military or ders. War department officials are awaiting word from the state depart ment as to the next step expected of the troops, but it is now intimated that this next step will not be taken i'm mediately. The situation has lost some of its acuteness owing to the change in the attitude of the Russian gov ernment, as indicated in yesterdays dispatches. No official confirmation has reached Washington of postponement of withdrawal, but the fact is not doubted here. Regardless, however. of the course to be taken by Russia, it is now said there is nothing in the Ameri- can note of response to Russia that de- mands an immediate evacuation in the event that the Russian troops are called away.

LACK OF TRANSPORTATION.

Galveston. Sept. 14.-Notwithstand- ing the fact that the number of boats carrying passengers between Texas City and Galveston has been largely increased it was impossible yesterday to leave the city after early morning hours. and hundreds of men, women and children, all anxious to depart, suffered great inconvenience and hard ship and were after all compelled to sleep upon the beach at Texas City, waiting for morning. There IS D d one steamer plying across Galveston bay which is able to carry passengers in any number and even this boat is able to make the trip only with extreme caution, on account of the shallowness of the bay. Yesterday morning some body lacked something of being eau tious in the extreme and the Lawrence, tanning her nose in the mud, remained aground all day.
