LOCOMOTIVE CARRIES A JONAH
Engine on the wabash Road which
Is Feared by Every
EmplOye.

Engine No. ia, which was recently
placed in the Wabash shops at Peru,
Ind, for repairs, has a longer list of
casualties to her credit than any other
engine on the road. The engine is
known as the "Pru JONAH" and was
built at the Wabash shops as a matter
of experiment. 1t proved to be one of
the fastest engines on the road, but it
was scarcely put into active service I'M
til it went through a culvert east of the
city. A short time afterward the en-
CINE was in a rear-end collision, in
which several people were injured. On
the first trip out after being repaired
No. ia collided with another engine,
and two more men were added to her
list of killed. After this accident oc-
Cured the engine was sent back to
this city and arrived here in time to
suffer another accident in which Sc
eral men were injured. A number of
minor accidents occurred soon after
this, and the engine was sent to the
Chicago division, where it has kept
up its reputation for both speed and
casualties. On being removed from
the shop this time the engine will be
sent back to the Chicago division, as the
railroad men are superstitious con-
corning it. and truly believe as soon as
the engine nears this city it is pos
sessed with the evil one.

Well there is another one coming. and
l will let that grow for her sake. I
want to see her painting dogs on our
smokehouse. They remind me of the
time when Polk ran against Clay for
president, and every farmer demo-
crat who came to town brought q
| poke stock with berries on it sticking
up in his wagon or dangling between
| the horses ears. 1t used to make the
Henry Clay wings mighty mad. re-
member that DR.. Jim Alexander and
Glib Wright got so mad they liked to
have used bad words. They turned
red in the face, and then their hair
turned red, and DR.. Jim's is red yet.
Tomorrow is my birthday, and
know from the signs that my wife
and the girls are fixing up surprise
for me-some little thing. l suspect
it is a table for me to write upon, for
the old one is rickety, but I'm at
tached to it, 1t is the second one
that have worn out with my rumina-
tons of 40 years. These birthdays
keep on coming, especially in this
leafy month of June-for my moth
er, my wife, myself, my daughter, my
grandson and granddaughter were all
born in June. Not long ago l gave
problem to the young people about
my wife's age, and scores of answers
have come back from them-most of
them from schoolgirls about ~ years
of age. Their solutions are in alge-
bra, and are neatly and accurately
done. When my wife was two weeks
old / was six years. You see l took
her so young so as to train her up to
my first notion, but you can't always
tell. First thing l knew she was
training me. l have long observed
that girls are smarter in figures than
boys of their age. l know that it al
ways strained my mind to keep up
with my girl classmates. After all of
the modern methods and improved
conditions, do not see any difference
in the intelligence or quickness of
school children now and those of 60
years ago. l believe that young peo-
pie were happier intellectually then
than now, for they had less trash to
read, and no narrowing things in
newspapers. Then we read Shake
speare, Milton, Gray, Cowper Scott,
Byron, Goldsmith, Cooper, etc. Now it
is some foolishness by some sensa-
tional writer whose works are read
and then forgotten. noted the
other day moralizing writer's recipe
for keeping the spirits up without
pouring the spirits down. He says:
Read fine poem every day. Look
every day upon fine painting. Hear
every day some fine music. Forget
every day your enemies, and remem-
Der every day your friends, and the
man or woman who follows this rule
is bound to be Christian" That's
good-and DR.. johnson said that "to
look upon and love fair and virtu-
Gus woman is liberal education"
That's better. - Bill Arp, in Atlanta

An ~lnccndlary Fire.

Sheriff Campbell returned from
huntington valley last night where
he went to mako Investigations as to
an incendIary fire which occurred
there Sunday night. The sheriff in
forms US that Mr.. Sestanovich, an
Italian, lost a haystack containing GO
tons, md u stable, and that the blaze
wa undoubtedly started by a fire
bug.
About II o'clock Sunday night
Mrs. Se%stanovich was awakened by
one OF the children rs king for a
drink OF water. On looking out of
the window she discovered the hay
stack to be a blaze. She called her
husband and everything possible was
done to check the flameS. As there
are a number Of houses and barns
standing close together, had the fire
not been discovered, all the buildings
would have been destroyed, and the
inmates probably burned to death.
The sheriff found the place, on a
small hill near the house, where the
incendiary, who came on horseback,
tied his horse to n sage brush,
and walked to tho haystack and re-
turned on his heels, to prevent de-
lection by the measuring OF his foot
prints. He thinks he has evidence
enough, however, Is to the guilty
party, and an arrest will probably be
made iii the rear future.

The Florence tribune., 1900-04-07

THE letter in this issue from Hon. George H. Maxwell, executive chair man of the National Irrigation associa- tion, gives an idea of the main obstacle in the way of an appropriation for the San Carlos dam, viz: The Florence canal, or, as it is now known, the Casa Grande canal. MT. Whittemore's let ters are to the same effect. This will strike our people as supremely ridicu- lous, when they know as facts that the Eastern claimants of that property have allowed it to nearly fill up with sediment, not having cleaned it eat for years, and have time and again de- clared that they would not spend a cent upon it beyond its actual revenues. The canal has twice been in the hands of receivers appointed by the Court, and has not paid a cent of taxes for years, now owing over $10,000 to the county and territory. At the same time it has had special protection from the Court, which refused to allow the issue of receivers certificates for neces- sary repairs. The Florence canal has been curse to this community from its inception, and the intimation that the owners of that played out property are backing the proposed San Carlos dam is without the slightest foundation in truth. Granted that they be given the amount of water the canal will carry at the present time, which is all they can possibly claim, it will literally not amount to drop in a bucket. But even that drop they are not entitled to, for the property has been sold to the territory for taxes. What shame that the claimants of that miserable flled-np ditch should be allowed to stand in the way of an appropriation for great and necessary public work We can hardly believe that honorable Senators who are now considering the matter in Washington are serious in such trivial objection, for the canal has been frequently offered for sale for $40, ,000, and even at that price it could find DO purchasers. A much better plan would be for the government to build new canal on higher level, and allow the old thing to fill up, as it is now very nearly.

THERE is so little hope of statehood being granted Arizona by the present Congress that it might be just as well for the press to center on the irrigation problem for the present.-tTucson Star.
 And there is so little hope of na- tional system of irrigation being granted by the present Congress that 1t would be we'll to center all efforts on the San Carlos dam, to provide water for the starving Indians on the Sacaton reservation, who have always been friends of the white man. If press and public would explain the situation to Congress, as it actually exists, there is little doubt that the relief asked for would be granted.

OUR disesteemed fellow-citizen, Doc. Wright, who so disreputably repre- sented Pinal county in the last legisla- ture, returned last Saturday from Mexico, where he has been sojourning since the adjournment of the Mules. J He is said to be again an aspirant for egislative honors and will doubtless -eceive the hearty support of the demo- ;rats and republicans who before allied around his standard. If Doc. ,onld only serve term in the peniten- iary for bribery or arson his reputa- ion would be esta blished and he could et anything he wants. A certificate f character which he holds from a lrominent Cleveland democrat, and which he industriously used in the ast campaign, will help him out this all among the goldbugs porarily, ntil he can get where he belongs. ;ut Doc. Wright is no worse than the len who indorse his acts.

THE announcement made through the Associated Press that Abram S.
 Humphreys, formerly of Florence, was a prominent candidate for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Hawaii caused no surprise to his many friends here, who have always predicted a brilliant future for him. He was one of the brightest members of our bar, young and fearless, true to his clients and friends, and an active foe to his enemies-a man you either had to love or hate. And that he was well loved may be judged from the fact that he ran independent for district attorney of our county, after very few days notice, and came within dozen votes of being elected. He left here five years ago for Honolulu, where he married, ettled down and has grown into law practice worth $15,00O a year. His Florence friends have kept posted regarding his car eer, and they have feeling of pride for its success. Should he receive the appointment he aspires to, our new territory of Hawaii will have an Associate Justice with a rare judicial mind, incorruptible, and, like Caesars wife, above suspicion.

ON the first page of this issue is an article from the Williams News, show ing how NJ. Salzman, a merchant of that town, has interested some of the leading merchants of Chicago in the policy of national irrigation. It was a splendid idea, and should be adopted by our own merchants as an aid for the construction of the San Carlos reservoir. In this practical age it seems like the only way to reach business man is through his pockets. Sympathy doesn't count for much.

Beware of Continents for Catarrh that
 contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physi- cians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them.
