vote for"
resident MAXWELL am very sorry
that such thing is going on. | hope
no member of this body will prostitute
his position as member of the City
Council by accepting a bribe.''
While the discussion over license
was at its height, Mr.. Miller offered a
resolution to instruct the police COM
mittee to ascertain IL the rejected ap-
plicants are, selling without license,
and If so to take steps to- prosecute
them.
Mr.. Healy opposed the motion, and
was evidently under the impression
that the resolution provided for en-
ploying a man to hunt up evidence.
He wanted to amend 1t to require the
special license officer to do the work.
He was set Alright by President Max
well, but still appeared to misunder-
stand the purport of the resolution.
MIR. Miller was asked to explain the
object of, the resolution.
Mr.. Chew-"He offered it at my sug-
gestion."
Mr.. Miller took the floor, and stated
that it is common report that the re-
jected applicants for license, while
having their bars closed, have been
selling intoxicating drinks in other
parts of their buildings. He could not
see why any reputable saloon keeper
could oppose the resolution.
The ayes and noes were demanded,
and the Miller resolution was lost by
the following vote:

A DESCRIPTION

OF the Late Michael Miller VIII be
Sent by Coroner Schultze to the
SharpsburE Authorities.
AS mentioned in yesterdays Regis
ter, Coroner J. w. Schultze received a
telephone message from Sharpsburg,
Pa, Monday, asking him if he had held
an inquest over the remains of a man
of the name of John Murray, who had
been killed, and yesterday the Coroner
decided to send a written description
of Michael Miller who was killed about
two weeks ago by an accident on the
B. & o. road this side of Elm Grove
The coroner is of the opinion that this
man, who gave the name of Michael
Miller while in Wheeling a day or so
before the accident, might have been
John Murray to whom the Sharpsburg
people have reference, as it was
thought at the time that the man was
passing under an assumed name.

Democrats will have no dietators.
They will have no bosses A lesson

the Republicans, which has ceased to
be party, but is ruled by bosses, and
II Is well TO say the Democracy OF Ohio
are ready for the coming battle. but
that every delegate who goes to Kansas
City from that State must be staunch
Bryan man who will not allow any
faction to change him.
1t is said that Mclean is showing
his hand in the Sixteenth district. but
1t will be useless for him or any one
else TO try TO change the minds of the
party in this district, for no man can
be a delegate without he is a dyed-in-
the-wool Bryan man, and it is well to
say that the party in this State has not
shown such interest in a campaign
SINCE 1892, when they almost carried
the State for Cleveland and the party
have strong hopes for carrying the
State this fall Bryan has been good
TO the Buckeye Democracy and has
always been willing to help them in
campaign times.
All that Ohio needs is an awaken
ing, and no man has such power for
enthusing the party as Bryan, and it
is to be hoped that Mclean will not
try to control the party, for if he does
he will meet a singing rebuke from
the States most stalwart leaders.

A COMPARISON
Imports of Manufacturers Materials
 for 1896 and 1900.

Washington, Get. -(SpecfaD. The activity of An,rican manufacturers is Illustrated by the statistics of the inn ports of manufacturers materials and exports of manufactured goods which have just been made public by the treasury bureau of statistics. In the eight months ending with August. 1900. imports of raw materials for use in manufacturing amounted in round numbers to 0,OG0OO0, against a little over $l00,0OO,0G0 in the corresponding months of 1896, and t-e exports of manufactured goods were $3G4. .OOO eco, against SIG. ,0G0 in tha corresponding months of 1896. Thus in Oth importa- ton of raw material for Use .n manu- fa@tu1ing and in cNpoTta,ion of the finished product. the figures of tn. present year are nearly double those of 1896.
 The total imports of the eight months just ended exceed by $93, ,O0O the inl- ports Of the corresponding months of lNai. while the single item of manuflr- turers' materials itself shows an in crease of $S1. .0oo,000. Raw materials for use in manufacturing formed in the eight months of 1896 but 23Ia Der cent of the total imports, while in the cor responding eight months of 1900 thcv formed @5.2 per cent, Manufactures formed in the eight months of 1896 2S.7 per cent of the total exports. and in eight months of 1900 formed 23S per cent. and in August. 1900. 35.2 per cent of the total exports of domestic pro- ducts. In 1896 the average importation of manufacturers materials was $13.- 5oo.O0o Der month, and in 1900 it is $25,- GOO per month.

TIE KIDS OF TUCSON
Entertained by Judge Acrobat
 C. Baker Last Night
Senator Ives of Yuma Could Elicit Applause on the Second Trial Only by Denouncing the Cleveland Ad- ministration.

Tucson, Oct. (SpccilD The democrats he'd meeting tonight that Was to be the opening of lhe campaign, and the opera house was not half .fl ei . Senator Ives was the first speaker. He attempted to make a comparison be- tween the administrations of Cleveland and Mckinley and the crowd failed 60 signify it's approval. He then added that he was no; in accord with some of the acts of Cleveland. and the crowd burst out with applause. When he had finished but few remained in the opera house.
 Judge Baker spoke, making a most bitter attack upon Governor Murphy. lie said that the people of Arizona went to sleep when Governor Murphy was in congress and when they woke up they were robbed.
 Judge Bakers eccentric manner of ju uping up and down during his tall, interested the small boys. who made up fully half the audience, and his re- marks were often punctuatcd by their laughter. He said he did not intend to malJc-IFe ersoTl.tf attacks, yet his speech Was full of the bttercst dcnun.iation ever introduced here. The pcople be- came disgUsted and left the hall. and when he had finished there were but few remaining.
 The Chihuahua hand. which was aG- Ncrtised to play. Was not present and the NoGalos band appeared instead Many turned out to hear the band and when the oVerturos were played the crowd began to leave. Nothing was said of their congressional candidates.
 Ives confined his remarks to the sugar trust and Baker roasted Cover nor Murphy. as only q baker can roast things. He said that Governor Murphy went to congress in 1891 and failed to secure statehood. but the crowd knew that a democratic president was Op- posed to him. In comparison with the republican meeting. that of tonight was absolutely a failure, and Bakers attack upon the governor made votes for the republican candidate.

AN AZTEC CAVE
Narrow Escape of Two Jerome Men
 From Entombment.

Chicago Ed" and his partner, Rosebud George" very fortunately escaped burial in one of the many caves to be found in the Verde valley, Last Sunday. It appears they started out armed with picks and shOVels in search of relics which they had been told existed in a heretofore uneXplOred cave. They left the Verde somewhere in the vicinity of Jordan's ranch, and were approaching cautiously the hid den cave which they knew to exist in that locality. When they had proceeded about half way up the high bluff they were surprised to see their spirited liv- cry team disappear from sight. and it was only the quick presence of mind ot Rosebud George" who held the reins, that prevented the heavy wagon in which they were riding, from following the horses in their downward flight. But quickly applying the brake, he allowed the horses to proceed, while he held the wagon as well as the occupants at the mouth of what afterwards proved to have been al one time an entrance to the very cave for which they were searching. A party of men on the Jor- dan ranch. by the aid of spy glasses. having witnessed the accident, quickly came to their rescue. Chicago Ed.
 and his partner were quickly lowered with ropes and after searching about for some time finally found their horses eating hay in one of the large barns connected with this particular cave They were overjoye1 to find that these fractious animals from Scott x NeVin 5 livery stable were uninjured and quick ly leading them out of the cave through another opening which they soon dis covered they returned to enrich them selves with the many valuable relics of the prehistoric race. the abode of which they had so pTeCipitatCly discov- cred. Probably one of the most Valu- able trophies which they take much pleasure in exhibiting to their friends is that of a highly carved figure on which the figures 500 B. c. are just dis cernible. This, no doubt, was an ob- ject of worship with those peculiar people. They also prize very highly a large skin which they discovered. This. they assert without doubt belonged to some Aztec maiden. whO desiring to throw off this mortal coil, may have Crawled out of it to die.
 The owners of these beautiful relics have kindly consented to give their ad- miring friends an opportunity to view the remains. and they will therefore be on exhibition for few days only at the Kentucky saloon. Jerome, after which they will be sent to the Paris expo sitiou. .js

 The belief is general that in :he a1- sence of any uniform instructions among the delegates the chances of q settlement by this convention are rather slight. It is the impression of several labor leaders that at least d second convention will have to be held before any definite action will be taken looking toward an early ending 1f the contest.

DISTRICT COURT
The Case of Man Who Irrigated
 With Shot Gun.

The grand jury presented it's third report yesterday containing indict- memts against D. Rodriguez for grand larceny; Adrian Nunez, two indict- mem1S for burglary, and Alexander Hale for forgery. Hale is the young man who flooded the valley a couple of months ego with checks upon the Phoenix National bank, having an ex- cellent fac similie of the signature of H. William Stevens, general manager of the Trilby and Belle gold mines. appended thereto.
 A charge against James Johnson Of assault with intent Ito commit murder and of resisting an officer in the dis charge of his duty was ignored, or not entirely ignored, for the jury recom- mended the court to censure him and advise him regarding his future con duct.
 Johnson was held to the grand jury by Judge Thomas P. Biggs of Lehi precinct, and he was arresIed under warrant issued upon an affidavit made by Joseph Clark, a constable of that precinct. JohnsOn's case grew out or a south side ditch trouble in which hs participated. When the constable ap- preached d headgate where several in terested c5.iZens were assembled he found Johnson pointing a double bar reled shotgun full cooked into the face of Hiram G. Davis, who seemed to be greatly embarrassed, not to say ac- tually annoyed. When the constable called on Johnson to behave like g. peaceable citizen, he intrenched him self behind a log, trained his gun on of the log to be used in case the shot gun failed to perform it's office. Moth ing was done with Johnson then, but subsequently, when he was not labor ing under such strong mental excite ment and was not in te environment of so many deadly weapons he was ar rested.
 Judge Street, acting upon tke recom- mendatlon of the srlnd jury, cen sured and advised' him. Johnson, re plying, said it would not happen again. He would not let his anxiety about water get the better of his judgment; he would not iwiGate his farm with the aid of a shotgun and ne would not prosecute his agricultural enterprises the same as if he were going to war with Spa'L.
 Prisoners indicted the day before were arraigned and the case of F F. Wooddell Vs H. l. Latham, special ad- minStratUr of the estate of Martin House, was continued to October F.
