DEATH OF A TWIN
Col. Wilson SurrGnderS to
 Mark 4. Smith
He Gave Way, He Said, in the Inter- est of Harmony After Trying in Vain to Persuade Smith to Con tribute to 1t.

Prescott, Ariz., Oct. --(SpeciaI)- candidates for delegate, stepped out of the political arena today at noon and left the standard in charge of his rival, Hon. Mark A. Smith. As outlined sev- eral days ago, strong pressure was brought to bear upon the colonel to break the democratic deadlock and af- ter considering the matter for forty eight hours Col. Wilson, in the interest of harmony, finally concluded to with draw from the contest.
 Both candidates had an open letter in this mornings Courier giving their private opinions of each other. but it was evidently the last shot in the locker of the Wilson battery. for at noon the colonel pulled down his naG and gave a clear field to Sm3th. The deal Was made in the company of q number of friends and political man aGers and when it was finished, Col. Wilson sent a written explanation of his course to the Courier, which will be published tomorrow morning.
 The main feature of his cOmmunfca- tion is harmony. the good of the party, and so forth. Col. Wilson in with drawing stated that he was a servant Of the party and not it's master, and when stepping out asked Mir. Smith to do likewise. This AIr. Smith emphat- ically refused to do. Telegrams are coming in from all parts of northern Arizona expressing regret over Col. Wilson's withdrawal, and the general feeling here is not very friendly to Smith for forcing the matter to such an issue.

NJ. SMITH. ..I u AArn GD

II was too late. The RapublicIn had "d0nC" published them. It was evident from the foregoing that Col. Wilson and Mir. Smith were getting together if they were not already there. There was, therefore, nc overwhelming sur prise when half ah hour iater the word came that one of these interesting, but embarrassing twins, was dead,
 The first official confirmation Of the story was a telegram from MT. Smith to Secretary F. F. Trott of the Smith territorial committee, informing him tiFat Col. Wilson had been side-trackei. 4 further confirma;ory telegram TVas rect wed by President Russell of the Young Mems Democratic club, frcm Col. Wilson informing him that he was no more and desiring him to break the news gently t. the club. He promised to write today describing how it E-I happened. -g,.,
 Concerning the details nothing is known here. h. may have been done bS the flip of a, coin, as Col. Wilson suggested some time ago. 1t may nave transpired by the razzle-dazzle pro cess. low man out, or it may have been done under one of the Smith prnposi- tiors, to give Col. Wilson a warranty decd to the SoVcrnorShip of Arizona in exchange for sI quit claim to his uu divided interest in a seat in congress. However it has been done. it is done and q great load has been lifted off the mind of The Republican. This paper from the very beginning. even before the county convention, sought to re- l,a rtiF holy Smith and Wilson. During the territorial con- vention it offered a dozen suggestions, any cIe of which would have obviHted all this trouble and heart-burn;ng. but the democrats blindly refused to act Upon any of them.

The news of the surrender of Col. Wilson was received here at noon yes terday. in fact wiiEin a very few min utes after the articles of equalization had been signed. The story was by no means unexpected The Smith people had been hoping and praying for it for a week. The Wilson people had been hoping and praying just as hard that it would never come. Their prayers seemed the more likely to be granted, for Col. Wilson had assured them in the strongest terms that he would never. never quit until the evening of November 6, and here it was only Oc- tOber F. The colonel had not only privately assured his adherents of his purp1sy to remain in the field, but ne had burned his bridges behind him by causing to be published in various pa pers Of the territory a most elaborate defense Of his position, together with an announcement that it remained for AIr. Smith to rc-cstablish democratic harmony hy getting off the track.
 Col. Wilson vas not supposed to be a man easily dissuaded from any course upon which he had entered and his p2rtisans here and elsewhere in the territory looked confidently toward his leadership to the end Of thc strug- gle.
 For nearly week rumor2 have come fram the north of an carly set tlcment and propositions have been received by the smith people, all look ing in a general way toward the with GrawaI of Wilson. It is evident, though, that tho principals themselves were not aware until yesterday or at the farlhest, the night before that peace negotiations were in progress, for almost up to the last moment they Were bomDarding each other in the newspapers with letters and replies "orgi1g upon personalities. The first intimatipu received here that hpsiili- tics had ceased was the following telc- gram delivered at this office shortly after noon:

CHAPTER III.

As he told the story OF the young
mans bravery and self-devotion, Ma
marah's eyes grew brilliant, and her
breath came thick and fast; and as
Jephthah dwelt upon the imminent
danger that had threatened both, a
look so terrified came into her face
that he said again, as he had said so
often.
Thou lowest thy old father too
much"
II often happened. after this, that
the young man Adina would come to
the house in company with Jephthah,
or by his ordering or permission, and
make his way to the great room where
were kept all manner OF pieces of ar
NOR and weapons, and other trappings
Of war. And at times 1t transpired that.
as he approached the house, Namarah
would be in the garden feeding her
doves. Sometimes he would pass on
with only a gracious reverence to her,
but again he would wax holder and
come near laughing with her TO see
the white birds scatter at his approach,
and then, as he would stand very still
by Namarah's side, settle back content
eddy at her feet and go on with their
breakfast. He delighted to see her
feed them from her mouth: and they
o grew so accustomed to him that
they would fly to her without needing
him, sometimes perching for a moment
on his shoulders, and hopping thence to
hers.
They are carrier birds" she said
one morning, as he stood beside her
thus. She looked up In his face and
smiled, but quickly her eyes dropped
to the doves at her feet.
Hast thou tested them?" he asked
And will they, indeed, bear tidings tc
thee from ATARI"

knowledge" she made answer; but

Master of the Steam.

There Is n thing for which an en-
gineer is noted. This Is the absolute
obedience Of orders. He IL brought up
on that from the time he starts to fr-
ing till he becomes a graduate and
takes charge of an engine. Then he
becomes the instructor Of others. and,
OF course, never loses the main point.
There is a story told illustrative OF
this. Two men were applicants for
positions on one of the railroads In
Boston not long ago. They both want
cd to be engineers, and there was but
one place vacant. The superintendent
before whom they appeared asked one
ion: Suppose you were on a siding
with orders for a train to pass. A
message would go over the wire that
the oncoming train for which you were
waiting was two hours late. What
would you do?" The first one was
asked the question, and he pulled his
hat down over his face and said: IL
dunno. That Is the conductors Job,
not mine" The superintendent said
he might leave his address, and II they
needed him they would drop him a
line. The second man was standing at
a respectful distance, with his cap In
his hand. and was asked the same
question. Il tell you, sir" he said,

She knelt behind the curtain Of her
window as the troop came near, es-
eorting their leader to his home, but
her father knew this way of hers, and
sent a glad glance upward as he dis
mounted. Adina saw and understood
the look, and quick as thought, glanced
upward, too; but while the look OF
Jephthah fingered on Namarah's case
ment, the look Of the young man was
hastily withdrawn, and even In the
golden flush of the sunset the hue OF
his cheek deepened. Namarah saw
that 1t did, and the consciousness sud
denly reminded her that she was
thinking Of some one else beside her
father, at the moment of his return
from battle. and that was a thing that
had never happened before. She rose
TO her feet and flew down the stairs
to meet Jephthah at the entrance to
his chamber, as the body of soldiers
passed onward down the street.
Into his arms she sprang. her soft
flesh crushed against the metal of his
armor, and her hands clasped tight
about his neck; nor would she loose
her hold when he had kissed and fon-
lied her repeatedly.
"Dost thou love thy old father SO
indeed?" he asked. And art thou
trembling? Why, maiden, thou art
a soldiers child, and battles are his
daily work. wilt thou never lose thy
t~imorousness? Thou lowest thy old
father too much, my little one. Thou
shouldst have some one else to spend
thy woman's heart upon. l would
fain see thee married. with a husband
and children of thy own to love"
But at these words, behold tn,
maiden burst into great sObs, anC
chung to his neck weeping, and de-
c%laring earnestly that she wanted M
husband-she wanted no love tina
would separate her from her father.
Then did Jephthah soothe and cares.
her full tenderly, until the smiles ha,
scattered the tears, and she took Mi
armor from him, as was her custom
and led him to his favorite seat, tina
he might rest.
AS she stood holding the great breas
plate In her little hands, she said sud
denly:
Am not I as good an armor beare
as the tall young man thou sentes
here this morning." Whereat sh
laughed. softly and blushed again.
THAT thou art" answered Jephthat
fondly. mo one could perform tn
Office better than thou dost do It. Blu
what thoughtest thou OF the youn
man Adina?"
He seemeth to be a soldier-lik
young a enough" Namarah an
swered, carelessly, and fell to polish
ing with a fold Of her white gown tn
shield she was holding.
Thou carest as little for him, l see
as for the others Of his kind; but, Ma
marah, see that thou eve treatest hin
kindly when he cometh in thy way
But for his courage in the sudden at
tack this morning, thy father might b
with thee dead instead Of living.
