The structures of this alleged mining
man as to the other small drawbacks
connected with the camp are hardly
worth noticing. They either never
were true or are no longer true.
There are always some disagreeable
features connected with a new and
booming camp, and which are Incl
dental to its rapid growth. But
these disagreeable features disappear
with time, and they are rapidly dis
appearing in Tonopah.
As to the camp being a poor place
Tor miners, about four hundred OF
them are drawing their 81 a day for
eight hours work and are doing very
well, thank you. OF course the high
wage scale will bring many laborers
to the camp and the demand for help
may be overdone, but this is
nothing against the mines.
We could name several people who
attempted to cry down and belittle
Tonopah in the early days of the
camp who now bitterly l,emoan their
lost opportunities and lack of fore
sight. Tonopah will work out the
destiny in store for it in spite of the
De Vores and others of his ilk. But
it would be unfortunate indeed if the
malicious falsehoods of this envious
sanderer should cause any enterpris-
ing man with muscle, brains or money
to shun this prosperous camp until ii
is too late.

Feet Frozen.

During the cold weather about ten
days ago Archie McGrady lost his
burros and after searching several
hours found them and rode one back
to camp, a distance of several miles.
During the journey his left foot be-
came frozen, and when he arrived at
his home, fourteen miles southwest of
Tonopah, he realized that the foot
was very sore. After several days
in camp he was brought here, and
Drs. Keen and Chittenden found it
necessary to amputate all the toes
of his left foot. The unfortunate
man is doing nicely.

"Captain Racket"

The comedy by the above name was
presented to good sized and appre-
ciative audience for the first time on
Friday night Moreover it was
the first regular play in more than
one act ever staged in Tonopah, and
like all things up to date in this pro-
gressive camp, its rendition by local
talent was far superior to what would
naturally expected, with the means
at hand. Comparisons are invidious,
and we will not attempt to speak of
the work of individual performers, as
all did well, and the play as a whole
was first-class star performance.
The leading roles were taken by Mr..
W. ID. Thompson, Chas Kenzie, DR..
K. r. Keen, VIM. Grimes and Mrs.
Keen and Mrs. Kenzie, with Mrs. L.
Blumenthal and Mr.. w. D. Michigan
in minor parts. The acting of the
gentlemen was above criticism, and
was if anything shade better than
that of the ladies, which in one or
two instances showed little lack of
preparation. Mention should be
made of the speciality introduced by
Grimes and Knapp which was above
the average in that line The ar
engagements for the show were in
many respects duplicate of larger
affairs of the same kind in the cities.

elite of the city were also present as
"frst-nighters." The play will be
produced again this evening and
there will be a crowded house. There
is talk of having matinee Monday
for the night shift that was unable to
be present. The proceeds will be
devoted to the furnishing the new
school house.

AN EFFECTIVE CHANGE.
HAS TAKEN PLACE IN KING cor
 TON CIRCLES,
Says Alexander 6. Co. in Their Cotton letter-DecIine Has Caused
 Halt

s. c. Alexander & Co.,, local cotton factors, have issued their regular cot ton letter, which reads as follows:
 The preparations for another crop are moving along nicely. The usual activity in the local mule market is manifest, weather is good and blow ing general, We do not think how ever that the preparations is on such an increased scale as has been report ed. It pointed to something large in January, but the great decline in cot ton has caused a halt and given the planter and supply merchant time for little reflection. Nine and ten cent cotton in December and January over stimulated things and it was on the lips of all that six and seven cents was thing of the past, at least for long time to come.
 Land rents rose to $6 and sS per acre and credit became very cheap: many negroes working at saw mills railroads and public works at s1 and SI25 per day caught the fever and made their arrangements to go back on the plantation, and those who had saved enough money to buy a mule rented land and went in for them selves; things looked promising and everybody was happy.
 But change has taken place. forty to sixty days have passed and now We have another side of the pie ture 10 contemplate Cotton has de- clfned $S to S10 per bale; next years crop based on today's prices prom iseS the producer six to seven cents and Ill view of this fact s125 for mules, l5c for corn and 91h to Toe for meat which are the current prices TOT these articles. looks awfully high to those who will have to pay for them next fall with six to seven cent cot ton.
 The supply merchant does not look happy he is talking 6c cotton to his customers and tells the negro who wants 50 pounds of meat a week that he will have to get along with 9.
 he consequence is that a great deal or this labor is leaving the plan tation and much of the newly rented land will not be cultivated. Farm labor generally will be scarce and the increase in acreage in this state will be small.

 Reporter.

Deputy Constable l.. F. Cheek re turned Monday afternoon from St. Louis, accompanied by Clyde A. Pile the young man who eloped with the wife of Frank Dayis,a local citizen and whom Davis charges with grand lar ceny, claiming that lie carried away household goods from his CDavisD home without his knowledge or con sent. Pile claims that Mrs. Davis gave him the key to her home and told him to carry away. prepare and ship her goods to St. Louis, which he did.
 Mrs. Davis did not accompany Pile and the officer back to Pine Bluff. but. it is thought. left for Kansas City after her honey was arrested and jailed.
 Deputy Cheek says Pile expected Mrs. Davis to meet him at the depot at St. Louis and return to Pine Bluff with him. but he was greatly disap- pointed She didn't show up at that place. Pile would talk very little He noticed Globe Democrat newspaper reporter questioning Deputy Cheek before the train left St. Louis and suddenly grabbed his note book and tore it into a thousand pieces, remark ing that there was too d-d much in the papers already.
 While en route here Pile begged me to take his handcuffs off" said Deputy Check "but I told him that he was q bit too restless. When felt like taking nap l locked Pile to a seat. He did not know that his brother was already in jail here until he reached the local depot and some l kid remarked that he would share a cell with his brother. Pile was great ly surprised to learn this, but said nothing"
 Deputy Cheek said he called at No 1721 Carr street when he reached St. Louis. in hopes of securing posses. sion of Piles grip, from which the DO lice think they could get slime import

ant information. The proprietor of the boarding house stated that Mrs. Davis left there at about 10 o'clock on the night previous with man. X draYman stated that he carried her trunks to the Kansas City depot. Deputy Cheek then called around to see Tobias Da- wis, brother of Frank Davis, of this city. He was told that Davis had gone to Kansas City early that (Sun- day) morning.
 In the meantime, however, the Piles are in jail here awaiting trial.

any extension. It was killed in no time It would be a great saving to the State if the members were placed on salary of say $400 year. A session of sixty days would then be long enough. and we would have less fool legislation than under the present system.
 The Legislature at present, is re- ceiving much censure to which as a whole it is not entitled. There are, say eight members of the House who occupy about two-thirds of it's time They mistake wind for eloquence, and are full of it. They keep the body in continual turmoil, and of course are the rankest kind of dema- gogs. A. H. ANDRUS
