best fitted to represent one of the fore
most counties of the state. But if loca-
ton should be considered. | think that
all will agree that there is as much argu
rnent for my locality as for the township
IN which my opponent resides. German
township has the Auditor, one of the
best offices of the county, at the present
time and has, i'll consequence, no greater
claims i'll that particular than have for
my locality
Furthermore, it certainly is expedient
that the Representative be located at the
county seat or as near the center of the
county as possible. Being so located, he
is III better touch with all the people of
the county and can, i'll consequence, best
determine the wishes of his entire con
stituency.
However, it seems to me that the main
thing to consider in determining the can
didate for Representative is the qualifica-
tons of the candidates The one who
will reflect the greatest credit to the
county should be chosen Which candi-
date will best do this must be determined
by the Democratic voter on April 6, 1900.

rHE RICYCLN PARAnE-It is

THE BICYCLE PARADE.-It is hoped all interested in seeing the car nival a success will not fail to turn out with their wheels decorated for the i!- Illuminated parade on next Tuesday evening. There are enough bicyclists in Phoenix, if they all turned out. to make a grand showing. The prizes for this parade are all worth working for, and the directors of the bicycle club, under whose management the carnival committee has allowed the parade to be given, will consider it a compliment to visitors who will be in the town on that night to have as many wheelmen and ladies as possible turn out with decorated wheels and lanterns.

PAN-AMERICAN MEDICAL CON GRESS.-Dr. H. A. Hughes yesterday received notice of his appointment as delegate from Arizona to the Pan American medical col. gress, to be held at Havana, Cuba. in the latter part of this month. He has not yet de- cided to attend the congress; though he will probably do so. A half-fare rate has been made for delegates from Southern Pacific points to New Or leans, and a $50 rOund-trip rate has been established between that point and Havana.
 RECORDERS COJRT.--The city recorders court was rather dull yester- day, the only case being ihac of q but cher whose business was 50 urgent the day before that he neglected to hitch his horse when he went into a cus- toner's house. He was given min imum fine, with the recorders usual Christian admonItion. A Mexican woIran, fined for drunk ennass and out on her own recognizance, came in to re- port that she was sick and asked for an extension of time n whi h to pay her fine. It was grlnted, 9. partial payment being made.
 MIR. DORTS DONAIION.-Mr. T. w. Pemberton yesterday received a check for $50, a donation to the Phoe- nix hospital from J. D. DoIt, of Flint. Mich The check has been turned over to the hospital association, which is thus enabled to afford greater relief to the needy suffering. MT. Dort re- sided in Phoenix for some time, on ac- count of the illness of his wife. which was unfortunately fatal. He quickly acquired the reputation of beinG a pup lie spirited and generous gentleman, and though the ties which directly bound him to this community ID lon ger exist, he has not forgotten the city's needs.

Farmer Adams came in from his ranch yesterday. He is engaged since the late rains in putting in his fall crop. His most successful crop the present year has been whiskers and pumpkins. The latter are big enough to run for aldermen. and the whisbars are SO long they already cast a shadow on his political principles.

Wanted to Lynch Brutal Snowman.

Lambertvllle NJ, June 29-Li,tle 9
year-old Jessie Murray lies dangerously
i'll at her home here from the effects Of
being struck over the head by brutal
Snowman. The little girl, with some
others. was trying to look under the tent
at Goodrich's show last night aud one of
the Snowman threw heavy club at Der,
striking her on the head, rendering her
unconscious. Her little companions told
the news to her parents, who. with some
Others. carried the child home.
The story Of the brutal act soon spread
and mob Of infurlated men arrived vii h

in search Of the brute. but he had been
warned, and escaped probable lynching

upon the reporters brain.
Murdoch opened the door Of the ex-
tension and passed out OF the room.
sturgis, watching his chance,
snatched up sheet of paper from
the table, inserted 1t in the typewriter
and ratified off something as fast az
he could. Looking up when he had
finished he saw that Murdoch had re.
turned and was observing him with a
sardonic grin.
More happy thoughts?' he in
quired.
"Yes," answered sturgis, calmly
folding the paper and slipping 1t into
the pocket of his coat.
Murdoch chuckled to himself as if
enjoying a quiet joke.
SWELL" said he, "if you will do me
the honor, we can step down into the
laboratory"
Sturgis nodded and went toward
the door which Murdoch held open.
As he passed the chemist the reporter
caught his eye and, in fash read
there some sinister purpose, which
caused him to hesitate, Oh his guard.
At that moment there came a knock
upon the hall door.
"Pshaw!" exclaimed Murdoch, "here
comes an interruption, I suppose.
Please step downstairs; shall be
with you directly"
With these words he quietly but
firmly showed the reporter into the
extension and, with rapid motion,
pushed forward the door.
Sturgis almost lost his balance, but
instinctively put out his foot between
the door and the jamb. He felt
strong pressure from the outside, but
he knew he was master of the stu
alton and patiently bided his time.
Presently the pressure ceased and he
was able to open the door.
Murdoch wore an air Of panied sur
prise.
what is II? p he inquired.
II have just remembered an impor-
tant engagement" said sturgis, I'M
ruffled. II fear, after all, that I shall
be unable to visit your laboratory at
present. l hope, however, that the
pleasure is only postponed for short
time"
II hope So" replied Murdoch, calm
ly meeting his steady gaze.
All this had happened in the space
OF few seconds. Meanwhile the
knocking at the door was renewed.
Come in" said Murdoch, moving
toward his easy-chair.
The door opened and servant ap-
peared.
"Plaze, sur, Miss Agnes wud loike
ter know kin yer resarve her sum
tonne this afternoon"
Eyes, Mary; tell Miss Agnes l shall
be in all the rest of the afternoon,
and that I shall be at her disposal at
any time"
sturgis, picking up his hat and coat,
hurried from the house.
"Why did he want to shut me in !
the extension" he asked himself over
and over, and he could find no salts
factory answer to the question.
Then he took from his pocket the
lines he had written on Murdock's
typewriter and compared them care
fully with those on the sheet which
he had laboriously pieced together in
he Knickerbocker bank on the previ--
Jus day.
The result OF the examination was
apparently satisfactorily: for, when
Sturgis returned the papers to his
pocket, his face wore an expression of
'alm but unmistakable triumph.

The Republic Loan Association

Judge Dickey, in the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn, appointed Ed
ward G. Riggs and Otto Kelsey re-
ceivers for the Republic Savings
and Loau Association of Manhat-
tan. A motion for the appointment
of a receiver for this corporation
was made several days ago by the
attorney-general, represented by
Edward p. Coyne.
According to the contention of
the Republic Savings and Loan AS
sociation, of No. POI Broadway, its
Superintendent kilburn of the
Banking Department, to have every
similar association in the State de-
clared insolvent.
81 am willing to go on record"
said Franklin B. Case. Jr., first
vice.president and general manag-
er of the association. as saying that
this attack on our institution is the
first step in a campaign of Superin-
tendent Kilburn against the build
ing and loan associations OF this
State.
Herbert H. Ward and William
Michael Byrne left to-day for New
York. Stock holders in this city
have been trying to get their money
but were not successful. The liza
bilities of the association in Della
ware reach $4,000 and the assets
about $40, 900, The ma ioritv of the
stockholders are working men and
women. AT the last session of the
Legislature law was passed COM
pelling foreign building and loan
associations to deposit securities
to cover the State liabilities.

"True," replied Murdoch. swell, /

most imperceptible hesitation; II have
already admired IT,
"Indeed?" said Murdoch, arching his
brows In mild surprise.
"Yes; stepped into the library for
q few minutes while was waiting for
YOU"
"Ah! yes; see."
Murdoch gave the reporter another
searching look. Then he leant back
In his easy chair with half-closed eyes
and silently pulled away at his cigar
for few minutes.
Had sturgis been able to read the
sinister thoughts which were passing
through the mind Of this impressive
man as he sat apparently in lucy en-
joyment Of his fragrant Havana. it is
probable that he might have lost some
of the interest which he seemed sud
denly to have developed in the type
writer. But he was busy with his own
train of thought. and therefore was
not paying any particular attention to
Murdoch.
Presently the chemist spoke again:
ION second thoughts, Mr.. Sturgis, if
you will step into my laboratory L
shall be pleased to show you those Of
the results OF my recent researches
which are ready for publication"
The reporter was surprised at this
sudden change of front, and perhaps Il
trifle suspicious, for he was beginning
to weld together many hitherto iso-
lated facts into strong chain which
was leading him from the Knicker-
booker bank and Chatham, through the
Manhattan Chemical company, to the
emotionless man in whose presence he |
now stood. Some important links
were missing, however, and sturgis
could not afford to lose any chance of
making the chain complete.
He therefore accepted Murdock's in
vitation, in the hope of making some
