Saturday afternoon the new court
house was talked over by our farmers.
Two well-to-do farmers offered one
dollar on the law as TO the votes. One
claimed it took I vote, the other a
majority vote, but neither put up
their money. The general impression
among the people is thatit takes i
vote. We learn of few who will not
vote for the court house, but large
majority are in favor OF building n
new court house. Most all think the
amount asked is reasonable; a very
small number think Butler ought to
throw in small amount. While
others think they have no more right
to donate than the farmers, that
each have the same privileges and
that there is no just cause for the
merchants 10 put up than any other
class of persons in the county. All
agree that Bates county needs n
good court house most OF them think
it ought 10 be built as soon ~ posi-
BILE, and with as little cost as posi-
BILE; every election costs money, and
right and justice only asks for one.

IF it cared to, the TRIBUNE might state that General vanderhsf is prac-
 ticing oratory with rock in his mouth. but his friends think it sounds more like Spanish castinet than Demosthenes. It might also publish to the world the fact that Johnny Cumlately has a sore toe; that Colonel Msgouz.um has the piles, and that Miss Docksologer is wearing hustle which greatly inn proves her aspect; but 1t prefers to leave these important details of a country life to its hated rival while it endeavors to grasp the Philippine question and our open door policy in China. You see we all have our uses.

THE TRIBUNE has received several ot- fers from Southern California recently of oil stock and Belgian hares in ex- change for advertising space, which have been respectfully declined. If Southern California would leave such fakes alone, and devote more of its capital to the development of the agricultural and mineral resources of Arizona it would assist in building up a "back county" that would prove of immense benefit to all concerned.

Destructive Fire at Pearce, Arizona.

Destructive Fire at Pearce, Arizona.
 The boilers at the Commonwealth gold mine at Pearce exploded Saturday at ? o'clock, and the fifty-stamp mill was soon in flames. The fire spread to the great tanks which held oil that was being used as fuel, and they ex- ploded, spreading the burning oil to the adjoining buildings. The shaft house caught fire, and several hundred men in the workings were in danger from smoke and fire. The engineer stayed at his post while the building was burning, and did not leave until the last man had reached the surface. The trouble was the result of using oil for fuel instead of coal. The mill was one of the largest and best arranged in the territory. The fire and explo- sions left it 8 total wreck, and half the camp was destroyed. Some of the miners and surface workers were badly burned, but none fatally. The fire spread with such rapidity that men working about the mill could scarcely find places of safety. The building was consumed in short time after the first explosion occurred.
 The Commonwealth last month pro- duced $l40,000 and is gold and silver mine. It is said that John Hayes Ham, mond is about to place the mine with an English Company for several mil lion. The mine is owned by Penrose & Brockman, the former brother of Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania. The mill will be rebuilt at once, but the operations of the mine are temporarily stopped.
 A number of buildings owned by private parties and occupied by stores were also consumed. Charles Spafford, who brought the news here, says that half the camp was burned, and the closing down. of operations which the fire necessitated throws several hun dred men out of employment.

TIE people of Southern Arizona, who feel under obligations to General Miles for ridding them of Geronimo and his cut-throat band of Apaches, will not relish the Bisbee Herald's attack up on him. They believe that Miles is anything but twain, over-fed turkey gobbler," and have the highest respect for him asa modest unassuming gentle man and successful soldier. Other wise they would not have presented him with handsome sword.

IMPORTANT DECISION
A Decision of Interest to Insurance
 Policy Holders.


 A decision of the highest importance to life insurance companies has been made by the Supreme court of the United States, affirming a Missouri court decision. A policy holder, after carrying insurance in the New York Life for several years, allowed it to lapse by the non-payment of pre- miums. Upon his death his wife sued to recover the amount of the insur- ance, contendiDg that notwithstanding the non-payment of the premiums, she was entitled to recover the face of the policy by applying the reserve upon the policy for this purpose. She was beaten in the lower court, but the supreme court of Missouri, to which she appealed, reversed the lower court and gave her judgment. The insurance company then carried the case to the supreme court of the United States, and the decision of that tribunal sus- tains the Missouri supreme court. The effect of such decision will be to bring up millions of dollars of claims upon insurance companies, from bene- ficiaries of persons whose policies had been allowed to lapse, as in this case, aud which were supposed to be old and uncollectable.

Boy to Depend Upon.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.l

From the Philadelphia lnquIrer.I
 Jonathan Jones is even meaner than the man who splits up his wife's tomb stone to repair his doorstep. Jones was an inveterate tobacco smoker, but, as his wife detested the practice, and made home temptestuous and stormy for him when he indulged in the habit there, he always smoked when away during the day, and declared to his better half that he had stopped perma- nently. But one evening, upon enter ing the front room and drawing out his handkerchief he accidentally pulled out his pouch of tobacco, and, without noticing it, left it lying on the floor.
 When Jones sat down to his supper his wife walked in, with the tobacco in her hand, and looking Jones firmly in the eye said: "Do you know who this belongs to?"
 With great presence of mind Jones turned scowlipg to his eldest son and said, with severe voice; Immortal Mars Is it possible that you have be- gun to smoke? You young reprobate ! where'd you get that nasty stuff :? What dye mean by such conduct, you young villain? Haven't I told you often enough to let tobacco alone? Come here to me or I'll tear the coat of you!"
 As he spoke the stern father made a grab at the boy and dragged him out into the hallway, where he chastised him with a cane.
 Then Jones threw the tobacco ov CT the fence, where he went out and got it the next morning, and enjoyed it during the day.
 "Merciful- beavensw he exclaimed, when he told us aboutit. 'What should I have done if my children had all been girls? It makes an old fathers heart glad when he feels that he has a boy he can depend upon in such emergen- cies."

THE Republican Convention in Phila- helphia this week nominated William Mckinley for President and Theodore Roosevelt for Vice President. There was little enthusiasm over the matter, the only interest being ia the selec- iou of candidate for Vice President Roosevelt had refused to allow his name to be used. but Platt and Quay worked upa boom for him in order to give Mark Hauna a black eye. Me- Kinley and Hanna desired Secretary Long for a running mate, and Platt wanted Roosevelt out of the way in New York politics. Quay and Platt proved to be the biggest toads in the ,olitical puddle, and dirty puddle it aust have been with those grand ascaIs and Mark Hanna in it. But n the same 1t makes the calling and lection of Bryan more certain.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to ocure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is cured by an infamed con. dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is noth- ing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

FLORENCE is ''enjoying" aD ice famine again. Why can't the people of this town start an ice factory of their own, and not be at the mercy of Tempe and Phoenix. An ice factory here would pay we'll, in connection with a creamery. The TRIBUNE will take stock in such company.

THE "official organ" says bondsmen should look after the conduct of county officers to see that they do not go astray. This will be news to most people, who had supposed that to be the duty of the board of supervisors and the district attorney. And how could the Tucson sureties on the bond of our defaulting county treasurer look after him anyway, without com ing over here and giving the matter their personal attention. This is only an effort to remove the responsibility from where it properly belongs, but it will not work.
