NEWS, NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Henry Youtsey was carried into court on a bed and unconscious to be tried for the murder of Goebel.
 Confirmation has been received at Washington of the execution of Chang Yan Hoon, former Chinese minister to the United States, one of the ablest men in China, who was dec orated by Queen Victoria and by the emperors of Germany and Russia. When the empress dowager supplant- ed the emperor two years ago he was banisbed to Nebradoe, but the inter vention of the American and British ministers secured a modification of the sentence. It now appears that the empress dowager took advantage of the reign of terror in Pekin and ordered his decapitation.

Leg Saved by Tickling.

Raymond Crane, aged 5, while playing, got one leg so firmly wedged into five-foot water pipe that DO liceman and two brawny laborers could not get it out without danger of dismembering him. "Blow the pipe to pieces with dynamite!' said one Send for a doctor" another. "Sue the city," a third. "Unscrew the lad T said policeman, a new arrival Tickle his foot with straw and see if he won't pull his leg out himself, {" suggested Raymond's bright little sister. The plan worked we'll. Every time any one tickled Raymond's foot the boy would draw up his toes and wriggle his leg and draw it up little out of the pipe. Finally he gave a last wriggle and drew his leg out Chicago Dispatch.

FALSE REPRESENTATIONS.

Insinuations continue to be made that F. NJ. Murphy bought up a lot of those Yavapai county bonds at a low figure and then sold them at or near par after they were legalized This assertion has been denied time and again, and it contains not one word of truth.
 Another assertion which has been repeatedly made by our contempo- rary is equally false. That is that F. NJ. Murphy was present at the ses- sion of the loan commission, when the bonds were funded. Mr. Murphy was not present at the time and had nothing to do with the action of the loan commission, their action in the matter being based on an application from the board of supersisors of this county asking that they be funded.
 There has been more misrepresen- tation concerning this bond question than any question that has ever come up for discussion ill the county.

A Jerome correspondent of the Phenix Republican under date of October 15 says: The Verde Queen smelter was to have been blown in this morning, after a close down of some time, but a plate needed in the fur mace failed to get here from the foundry in time to start up when scheduled. The copper will soon be- gin to flow, though, and there will be one more producing mine in Jerome. The Verde Queen people are the right people in the right place and will be a great good for Jerome and the whole territcry. Whatever they ask for they pay for, and that is all to tell regarding their financial standing. There seems to be plenty of high grade ore in the mine to make it pay. Soon big plant may be seen in operation as near Jerome on one side as the United Verde smelting planting plant on the other.
 It is learned that the Empire Cop per company has let contracts for 15O feet additional tunnels and l50 feet of shaft. This is expected to add con siderable to the value nov in sight which is so great that the company has refused S600,O00 for the mines. There are from D to 100 claims ia the

ELKINS AND BLAINE.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
One Of the warmest political friends of the late
James q. Blaine was stephen y. Elkifs, senator
from West Virginia. Their friendship began TINS
way. Early in the seventies, when Mr. Elkms
was a territorial delegate TO congress rom Nc"
Mexico, privileged to speak but not TO vote,
he wanted TO make a speech upon a subject
dear to the hearts OF his constituents. Mr. Blaine
was speaker of the house and Mr.. Elkins was
new man and, being unknown, was without IN
fuence. He determined TO be heard, neverthe'
less, and planned to meet the speaker privately.
As luck would have It, one night while Mr.. FL
kins was dining in Welker's restaurant Mr.
Blaine walked in and took a seat near him.
Waving all formalty, the young member intro
duced himself and laid his case plainly before
the speaker.
"All right" said Mr.. Blaine, when he had
ended "As soon as you get your speech ready
I'll recognize you and you shall be heard
And heard he was The speech was in small
way Mr.. Elkins' political beginning. but 1t was
OF even more Importance to MIR. Blaine, for the
young man promptly pushed himself into com
manding place in national politics and soon af-
terward married a daughter of Henry G. Davis,
Of West Virginia. lie became a senator from
that state From the date of that speech until
1892, wnen Senator Elkins marshalcd the forces
OF President Harrison at Minneapolis, he was
among the foremost champions of Mr. Blaine 5
presidential candidates..
General Harrison had delayed naming his pre-
mier. Mr. Blaine was the leading name men
toned for the place. In December Mr.. Elkins
wrote to the presidentelect saying that nine
tenths of the Republicans throughout the coun'
try would be greatly disappointed il the giving
out of MIR. Blaine's name as secretary OF state
were delayed much longer. This letter was
mailed from a post box uptown in New York,
and two days later, to the assembled reporters
in indianapolis. General Harrison announced that
Mr.. Blaine had accepted the post of secretary OF
state in his cabinet. The letter had had its

a few moments later, as they were
walking slowly homeward side by side,
she glanced shyly up at the stalwart

night?" exclaimed Gordon. smilingly.
II meant to, but more pressing news
got ahead of 1t. You received unani-
nous reelection, but took the liberty
of declining for you on the ground
that you were about TO accept a pri-
