THURSDAYS DAILY

, prosperity which has been prevailing
 in this and every other state and ter ritory in the union.
 THURSDAYS DAILY INDEFINITE Delegate Wilson returned to Prescott night before last and is taking a rest from his cam paign tour. So says the Courier.
 MORE INDICTMENTS. Robert Brow proposes, in the near future, to erect some handsome cottages on the lots he purchased from Fred Sattes on north Granite street.
 ANOTHER VOCATION The Courier k now engaged in the lumber business. that is. it is saying nothing but saving wood on Wilson's threat ened collapse.
 A TIP The Courier says: "Our word is as good as any mans bond. ' We would suggest that the Col. wait until Murphy goes to congress when he can be memorialized to have it le- galized.
 COMING HOME Mrs. Lola Ash ton and her son Jerry are expected to arrive here from Oregon Sunday night. They have been visiting relatives up north and from letters received have had a very enjoyable visit. Mrs. Ashton's health is much improved.
 A GOOD ONE.-L. W. Myers. the stone contractor, today announces to the public that he is in the field for work in the masonry line. He per formed the work on the Burke and has the contract for the Palace-C -Cabi- net structure. Mir. Myers work speaks for itself.
 TAKEN ILL.-Hugh MatthersOn, the well known cyanide expert, was taken to the Mercy hospital yesterday, suffering with typhoid fever. His many friends are sorry to hear of his affliction and trust he will soon again enter the field of active life. Dr. Barrett is attending him.
 CHRONICS.- Exemption from the payment of poll tax under the statutes, includes confirmed cripples. Accord ingly the proper thing to do is to have a limp. There are manyin town today who are afflicted thusly, and if the matter is not diligently looked into Yavapai will have more cripples in its register this year than the Gal weston disaster produced.
 BEAUTIES There is just enough contrast between the buildings of c. A. Dake and Ed. Block that adioin each other on Montezuma street, to make each the center of many com pliments by people generally, Mir. Block has certainly a commodious and durable store for his business and is to be complimented in showing so much faith in the future of the city. AIr. Dake's building is likewise an echo of the cOuntry's stability and in architectural appearance handsomely commented on.
 IN TOWN.-M. A. Rothchild. the well known mining man, arrived in town last night from Jerome to look into his interests in this section. Mir. hothchild was in the big camp dur ing the cave in, and states that it is great affiiction to that property, as work will be suspended for some time and many men of families will neces- sarily be thrown out of employment. He goes to the Chapparal country to- day to inspect some of his company's interests,
 BUCKING.-A lively political poll tax tilt took place yesterday over the issuance of these rights of suffrage. Under the law any patriotic citizen has the right to demand from the as sessor a poll tax, provided he pays for it, and it is only optional if he de sires his name placed on the register, to vote. The more poll taxes issued, the healthier will be the school fund. and the less direct burden will there be for the tax payer to shoulder. As sessor Dillon issued the receipts, and is still on hand at the old place of business.
 MISUNDERSTOOD The asser- tion in the paper of a few days ago that the Prescott National Bank build ing on the Wooster corner would cost in the neighborhood of S2OO,OOO, is misunderstood. This new structure, +ocra+ bo, ,,-;+b +l,,.., +, l., y,,-~41 .., COrtez and Gurley streets by F. NJ. Murphy, will, however, in the aggre- gate, reach that figure. The area of the ground to be covered with new two story brick buildings is one hun dred and fifty feet square.
 FINISHING Reports from the Crowned King railroad survey state that the engineers have located two routes, and considering the noun tainOus nature of the country have located desirable ones. We make the prediction that inside of a year the road will be under way, and when once the iron horse goes into the Bradshaws the regenerating of that fabulously rich mineral section will have commenced, and it will not be in evidence until that time. The miners in the hills along the route of this pro- posed road demand transportation facilities. Without it they are back numbers, and none know it better than they do.
 4 NONELTY.-Twentv-twoC Cali fornia cattle raisers who are registered at the Stevens House in New York are the talk of the place. The party consists of the three Pallet brothers and families with five cowboys. The Pallett brothers are each over six feet high. broadshouidered and tip the scales at POO pounds. Their wives are nearly as tali and muscular. Four daughters ranging from Is to 3 years of age take after their parent in build. They are on their way from Los An geles to the Argentine Republic to en- gage in the cattle business. The ho- tel clerk says that never before have any guests attracted so much atten- tion as the Palletts, with the excep- ton, possibly of the Zuni Indians of Arizona.
 GOING AHEAD.-J. w. Wilson Is one of that name who is not mak
