This account I'D not slip through
without attracting the notice Of the
reporters, and the papers published
and commented upon the more remark
able Of these items, such as flowers
for the SICK" and carriage hire" Aft
er the matter had been ventilated in
the newspapers, Governor Thomas de-
posted in the treasury, October 10th,
the sum of $500. In explanation Of
this 1t was stated that the Items In
Overmyer's account for street-car fare,
guide, flowers and carriage hire had
been inserted by mistake, and should
have been charged to the governors
personal account.
The items above cover only a small
part of the adjutant generals financial
demands on the state. The regular
salary account of his office is as fol-
lows:
Adjutant generals salary, per
s.s--srs-9.irir III ,..1illt;tnt generals sal
ary, per year. ................ / 200
Clerks salary, per year. ........ loo
Clerks salIry. per year. ....... 900
Additional clerk, until six months
ago, salary ................. LOO
Total ................. SO, 100
Those who are familiar with the du-
ties to be discharged assert that half
of this force at little more than half
of the expense could easily perform
all the real duties of the office.
The adjutnnt general has showed his
thrift in other ways besides expense
accounts. When the militia was to be
equipped for the Spanish war n great
deal of clothing had to be bought; it
was charged that Overmyer obtained
for himself a pretty complete outfit of
clothes rs samples from the different
firms which were soliciting contracts; {;
In other words, that lie took bribes in
the form of clothes instead of money.
His conduct in this matter was cell
sured by an Investigating committee,
but nothing came of it. and he has
been retained in office by the gov
ernOr.

Yuma Sentinel William K Kelso has returned from the King of AriZo- na mine. where he has been in charge of some of the work for three months past, being compelled 10 return home to recuperate from an attack Of pneu- monia, says the Gazette. Speaking of the King of Arizona mine Mir. kelso pronounced it one of the greatest properties in Arizona. He says that about one hundred men are employed and the mine is turning out over S2O, 900 month. Some of the ore is very high grade, though the bulk of it is low grade, but with the method working now, rolls and cyanide pro- cess, fully 95 per cent of the value is secured. The trouble over the supply of water, NIT. kelso believes, will all be satisfactorily settled in short time and the King will grow until it will be the greatest gold producer in the territory. The supply of ore is practically unlimited, the vein being more like big dyke of gold bearing rock than an ordinary vein, and every ten of it carries sufficient ore to make it's working profitable under the rolls and cyanide process.

 Journal Miner: Charley Kinsley and Frank Thornton are working on the Examiner and Mineral Hill within d quarter of mile of Huron station and are developing some remarkable ground. They have reached a depth of so feet on the Examiner and 40 feet on the Mineral Hill. Samples show 43 per cent copper and $50 in gold per ton. They have made a shipment of ore and will continue development.
 Prescott Courier: A miner who came in from Groom creek yesterday predicts an early mining boom in that quarter. Many claims being devel- oped show an output Of pay ore. The Empire mine, owned by Dr. Hendricks, is showing up particularly well. De- velopment work on this property has been vigorously pushed for the past two years. The mine shows body of high grade. free milling, gold ore, five feet wide. California parties have the contract to put up the new ter stamp mill on this mine, and the machinery aud timbers are now being shipped in.
 Journal Miner: A project which gives great prominence to this section IS mineral one is the news that the greater portion of the machinery of the Spenazuma plant in Southern Arizona has been purchased by Henry B. Clifford x O., and is now en route to Prescott. It will be placed on the Agua Fria and is to be operated on ores from mines owned by the above company. The principal machinery en route is 250-horse power engine, three large boilers, two rock breakers, two Cornish rolls and other lesser machines. Clifton Lewis, the we'll known Chaparral miner, is personally experimenting the shipment.

 Prescott Courier: The mining pos abilities of this section for poor miners, as well as rich investors, is very well exempliied in the case of the Little Giant mine, seven miles from Prescott, on Groom creek This property was located last January by J.

Found In Want.

We DO not suspect that anyone in our
town was aware that there has been a
family in want of the necessities of life,
but such has been the case, and il was
brought ont in an indirect way Sunday
before Cooper Il Co.'S circus left town.
One Of the ladies of this show happened
To call at the house where the Brooks
family reside (the husband and father
only died few weeks ago. and on en-
tering found the destitute condition that
the folks were in. Circus people have
hearts, and are the most liberal people IN

poor woman, and Immediately went out
among the show men and those who hap
pened 10 be- about looking ON, and took
up collection amounting To over eight
dollars and gave il 10 the poor widow. In
toned the death of Mr. Brooks, was
stated that the family were in destitute
circumstances, and it was supposed that
the widow received her monthly stipend
of $40 from the county, but We are in
formed that as she only asked for the
allowance while her husband was i'll, at
the February meeting her allowance was
cut eff. Since the above facts developed
petition 10 have her reinstated on the
list of county poor has been circulated
and presented To the board of county
commissioners i'm session this week with
the result that she is now allowed SIC

does not want To be dependent upon the
county, but owing To the sickness of heI
little boy, who partially supports her
she has been unable To look after hrI

Home Minstrels.

The entertainment given at the opera
house last Friday evening was excellent
when il is taken into consideration how
little time was given to rehearsals since
the affair was so very hastily gotten up.
There would undoubtedly have been a
larger attendance had not the show been
billed for the following day, and prob
ably many who had made up their minds
fully 10 take in the circus felt that they
could hardly afford both, but the attend
ance, neverthl less, was fair. While the
boys did not make anything above ac-
tual expenses, 1t leaves them with ma
terial for another entertainment in the
near future. The following took active
part on the boards: Arthur Brown, gem
eral manager and interlOcutor; J. T.
Knox and Bert Ives ofiiciated as Bones
and Tambo, respectively, w. +. Van
landingham, +. + Knox, +. FL. Davis,
the Kyzer brothers, of Minis, I'll. A. Car
rell, X. w. Joyner, w. l.. Brown and
Philip Wright.
All acted their parts creditably, and
special mention might well be made of
the Knox brothers, Nanlandingham, Ives
and Davis, who carried the leading parts.
Music for songs and dancing was furnish
ed by j. 7. Knox, the Kyzer brothers
and r. w Joyner.

HitchcOck-Gray.

Wedding bells pealed merrily in Titus
vile Sunday when Mr.. Fred n. Hitch
cock and Miss Mamie Gray were married
at the residence of the brides father,
Mr.. S. F. Gray, with only the immediate
family relatives and few very intimate
friends present, Rev. w. n. Chaudoin,
of LAGRANGE, being called upon to per-
form the marriage ceremony. The bride
looked charming and handsome and was
becomingly attired in a travelling suit OF
brown with hat To match, while the
groom wore the usual conventional black.
After receiving the congratulations of
family relatives and their friends, Mr..
and Mrs. Hitchcock boarded the 4:2S
train for Miami, which will be their
home. They received a large number
of handsome wedding presents. The
bride leaves a host of friends in Titus
vile, which has been her home since
childhood, all of whom wish her and her
husband happy and prosperous life.
MIR. Hitchcock is a most exemplary
young man, and is spoken of most highly
by all who know him. During the past
year he was engaged at his calling on
the new Flagler hotel, the Colonial, at
Nassau. A large party of the friends of
the bride accompanied the young couple
to the railway station TO see them off and
bid them hearty adieu.

another ring. If you bought horse
and said you would call for him In the

to be done to the property purchased
the seller would be responsible. Sup
pose he undertook to put a nail in the
