A STORY OF A MURDER
Beginning to Be Told at the Trial of
 Miss Jesse Morrison.

EIdorado, Kan, Nov. 30.--Jessie Mor- rison, calm anl c0ilfcte l, and scarcely moving a muscle, listened Goday to the dramatic recital by two of her former neighbors of the tragic death struggles of Mrs. Castle. for whose murder she is being tried.
 The witnesses we're Mrs. Kettle Mo- berly and Mrs. Emma B. SpanSler. the first persons to enter the Castle home in response to Mrs. Castles screams for help. They were introduced by the state and will probably prove the strongest witnesses put forth by the prosecution. The trial was gotten fairly under way at noon. A total of 115 witnesses will be paid for exam ination.

MORAL LESSON LOST
If the Allies Fail to Follow Up the Punishment the Effect of the Bloody Demonstration Last Sum mer Will be Wholly Lost on the Confident Chinese-An English View of It.

London, Dec. 1.-(3:20 a. m.)-The Spectator. in striking article dealing with the Chinese crisis, expresses an opinion that nhe most recent occur rences at Pekin foreshadow a Chinese victory over the allies. "The quarrel mas been h"1ught to the test of force" " it says. and the force cn the civilized side has proved insufficient
 This result is mainly due ito the at titude of Russia and the United States. If China escapes with the payment of a small indemnity and many promises on paper, as seems not unlikely since Germany and Great Britain may not bc willing to incur the expenditure and risk involved in persisting In their de- mands, It will be equivalent to a vic tory for China, for nothing has oc- cured that will convince the Chinese that their mighty empress has been defeaIted or that Europe can avenge any further massacres."
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post, wiring yesterday, says: Despite the cordial reception given Admiral Seymour, the situation is un- changed. In the Chinese theater here the allies are represented as soldiers who do nothing but talk until their ca. reer is ended by decapftation.''

A LENTHENING LIST
Six More Victims of the San Fran
 cisco Tragedy.

San Francisco, Nov. 3O.-Of those in- jured in the tragedy attending yester- days football game, three died today, making the total mortality sixteen. Others will certainly be added to the list, as many are badly injured and cannot recover.
 Hundreds of relatives and friends surrounded the morgue today, where the bodies had to lie until viewed by the coroner's jury. No blame could be attached to anyone, as the accident seemed attributable solely to eager ness to view the game, which led to the overcrOwding of the roof and the con- sequent collapse. precipitating the un- fortunate watchers upon the furnaces and vats of molten glass of the Pacific Glass works.

 MT. Boice's observation had a bear ing on a curious thing that has been happening In court every day for week. One or more cases would be set for trial. the witnesses would be on hand when a plaintiffs attorney would arise and move to dismiss. There be- ing nothing else set for the day the jury would be excused until the follow ing day and an adjournment would be taken.
 "So," continued MT. Boice, "whin coort was called this mornin Judge Sthreet looked over the jurymen and sez he: Gentlemen O the jury" sez he, T rotice fir the last week whiD a case is set fer trile the litigants an th.. liars come fin an look over the veniry.

The disputed prop erty lies in the neighborhood of the Casa Grande property.

Washington, Nov. 30.-President Hu- called on Secretary Hay today and had a long conference, touching the conditions under which the company would pass the control of it's property over to this government, in the event the Panama route is chosen.
 The canal commissions report is about finished and will probably go to congress with the presidents message. Hutin's report will be included in that of the commission, so that congress will have the material for choosing fbetwen the Nicaragua and Panama routes. There is every evidence that canal legislation will be pressed upon congress with vigor from the begin ming of the session.

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 3o.-Tt Is evident that the defai"at!on of the late ,ieorge R. GrfffiGhs, the school clerk, will eX- ceed $100.000. He was not the disburs- ing officer, but he received large sums of money belonging to the school fund and was required to pay them over to the treasurer. but the treasurer had no means of knowing how much the clerk received and he had absolute control over those funds with no accounta bIlity to any officer The Grifith5 estate is said to be insolvent. and his bond, which is said to be for 5000. is likely to be valueless from neglect m the matter of Its removal.

This will include Uncle Sam, Johnny Bull. Emperor Wilhelm, France, Italy, Russia, China and Ja- pan, and they will all participate. play ing upon the most unique instruments that can be devised. Dr: Ford is the chairman of the committee on circus parade, and has all his plans laid for the parade, that will extend from nine to ten blocks. Costumes have been or dered by Manager Buckley for the Eiks, barrel of grease paint and other sundries that will enable the gentlemen of the antlers in their efforts to pro- vide circus and circus parade unpar- alleled in the history of the tan bark. The Elks' day will be a great day in the carnival. The biggest tent has been ordered from Southern California for the circus.
 There will be an official photographic booth and programme booth located at the corner of Second avenue and Wash ington street, and the queens throne and grand stand, in front of the car nival headquarters. This booth will be under charge of Secretary George Mauk, and all visitors can also obtain information from the attendants of the booth. It will be trimmed in carni- val colors and surmounted by beauti- full American flag.
 Booth building is proceedings at a rapid rate The local men have their hands full, and several elabOra te booths are being prepared by the mer- charts themselves. The empty store building of Goldman & Co. is being utilized by Lampson &; Co. for booth building. The midway structures are also being built for Chairman Hirsch- field and his committee, in the store building.

This rate is $40 for the round trip from either of the points named abovS. with a several day lin it after the carnival closes, and tickets sold three or four days before the car nival opens. The usual excursion rate from Denver is $55, the fare one way is $45; thus it can readily be seen that

THE BUCKEYE DEAL
What Has Been Accomplished in Five
 Months.

MesSrs. J. Ernest Walker and J. q. Wasson have just completed the trans action of the purchase of the Buckeye canal and other property belonging to it. The purchase was made last June from J. H. Brady and the Southern California Savings bank for s27. .)OO cf which $5.000 was to be paid dCwm an1 the balance within three years.
 The new owners found the invest ment so profitable G'hat they were able ito make the payment this week. S21.75 They have saved s1,O0O by do- ing it. The $750 was accrued interest. Within about five months Messrs. Walker and Wasson have realized from the deal s59,OOO, of which little more than $31, ,OOO is a net cleanup. the proceeds of a cash investment of s5, 1000, and they have beside got the $5,00o back. And beside all this they have source of revenue. The peculiarity about this transaction is that both par tics to it and all parties affected by it are pleased. The new owners at once applied an up-to-date business system to the management of the property. They proceeded at once to de.ach the water rights from the stock and apply it to the land. Thus, though they kept the control of the property the farmers wey benefited. Water rights were so i at the low price of 8 an acre, something never before heard of. Every water user got every inch of water he bought and it was so abun- .dant he could have had as much moe as he needed This system, togeth with the generous advertising of t new management, attracted settlers the score to the Buckeye country.

A FOOTBALL INCIDENT
A Tucson Players Reckless Use of
 Language Punished.

A funny thing not included in the reports of the Thanksgiving foot ball game happened on Thursday. Before the game was called, when the players and spectators on the side lines were standing around in promiscuous groups. a smart university player happened to be standing alongside a member of the Indian school team. He turned to some of his Tucson friends and pointing to the Indian, said derisivcly, "The beast" and told his friends what the Tucson eleven were going to do to the, Indians The Indian heard the insult, but gave no sign. He stood erect and as indif- ferent to it as a graven image. Like the noble and well trained redman that he was. he would not precipitate row at the beginning of what it was under stood was to be a friendly contest If strength, training, endurance and skill. He was figuring on the near future Thc game was soon after called and the Indian kept his eye on the man who had spoken of beasts. At length the time came in hot scrimmage and the helmeted head of that Indian was pushed against the head of that evil speaking Tucsonian in such a way that water carriers had to go racing across the field to assist in his restoration

this will bring a number of people from that vicinity to Phoenix for the carni- val.
 There is considerable agitation among the merchants of Phoenix to change the carnival night from Satur- day to Friday of carnival week. This is done with two objects in view First, to provide against having the masking and the ball carried over into the Sun day morning; secondly, that the mer- chants may be benefited by havinig their Saturday night business, which they would not otherwise have if the maskers appeared on the streets that night. It is claimed by a great many merchants that the masking Saturday night keeps the crowd from patroniz- ing the stores, and results to their dis advantage rather than good.A As there will be a great many visitors in town, and it is close to Christmas time. the stores would do an immense business on Saturday night of the carnival week if it were not for this masking. It would suit the committee just as well to change the programme in this re- spect, as Friday night would be even better for masking than Saturday for making reveiry.
 Cowboy sports will be givenOn Satur- day the same as usual. and the queen will make her final appearance on the throne Saturday evening at ' o'clock, and disappear in the silk cocoon for the last time during her reign of 1900. As this would be very early. the crowd would then go to the stores, and they would be kept open to the crowd for late purposes Saturday night. The executive committee will take definite action in the matter Monday, and there will be a full meeting of the com mittee present.
 Among those who have taken space the last day or two and will have eX- hibits in the streets. and who have not been mentioned before are Jesse k. Crane Mrs. Dunbar. of the famous rose garden; the Cudahy Packing Co.,, c. w. Mckee, Pratt, Gilbert & Co, Me Dougal-Gage company, Coffee Al, B. Heyman Furniture O..
