a price had been placed upon his head.
He was scarcely more than boy, be-
ing then not twenty-one years of age.
After a stealthy call at the home OF
his sister at Independence, he left the
next day for Salt Lake City, where
for many years he discharged the du-
ties of peace officer in that wild and
unsettled country. Many outlaws fell
victim to his unerring aim with the
revolver. and in the course of decade
the feeling against him and the gueril-
las of the civil war had so much anne
liorated that he returned to Missouri
and became an officer of the st. Joseph
police force. In his demise passes
away one of the characters which the
civil war produced among the boys or
Missouri yet in their teens.

VERDI.
hicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Born in 1914, the latest illness of
Verdi may well be feared as his last.
The composer is one more added to
the category of immortals proving that
genius is the only attribute on earth
which may. justly be pronounced as by
divine right. For neither accident of
rank nor inheritance of wealth nor
liberal opportunity for education as
sures it's possession.
Son of an innkeeper. dependent on
lowly sources for instruction. like
Giotto's and Perugino's in the plastic
arts. the gifts of Verdi found
their own way to development. Com
mencing in the traditional compost
tion school of his native land. Verdi'S
natural power escaped its trammels.
Original. persistent, always melodious,
his works are as grateful to the human
voice to produce as to the human ear
to hear. Orchestras rejoice in his
which, without sacrific-
ing symphonic charms, has never been
described as noise, term applicable
in good faith to composers of far
greater vogue in recent years.
Verdi's sense of ensemble. attaining
its highest reach in Aida added pic
torial 1uster to his most massive work,
which will be esteemed by the final
test of time probably the most bril-
liant achievement not only of his own
hand but of his musical generation.
Wherever music is loved the passing
Of Verdi will be mourned, not per-
but with sincere and deep
regret

w. c. Green. president and principal
owner of the Cananeas Mining COM
pany, came in from the east last night
and is registered at the Orndorff. Mr..
Green has been attending a meeting of
the directors of the company which
was held at CananeaS, Sonora last
week,
Mr.. Green talked very encouragingly
about his property which is one OF the
richest copper mines in the west He
states that the railroad being built by
his company from Naco. Arizona, to
the mines at Cananeas, is progressing
nicely and will be in operation by Aug
ust of this year. The road is a stand
ard gauge line forty miles long and
connects at Naco with the Phelps
Dodge road from Bisbee.
We now have 1900 men employed -
said Mr.. Green, "450 of which are on
the railroad. The mines are working
as fast as possible and the Smelter is
running at full speed. We have fine
property there and there are many
other small mines owned by individ-
ual companies that will furnish the
road some business The Cananeas
country is as rich in ore as any sec
ton of the west and Cananeas will be
great mining camp some day"
Mr.. Green was rather uncommunica-
tive as to the probably purposes of the
Phelps-Dodge company and would have
very little to say about it. He is here
with Norton Chase, general attorney
for the company, and will be in town
several days.

HUMOR OF ROYAL FOLK.
Queen VictOria's hmm e diate Descend

One of the hardest workers in all
Europe is the prince of Wales. His
correspondence is immense and he at
tends to it all personally. In addition
he is in constant demand at scores of
public functions. Sir. William Mac.
Cormac, as one of his most trusted medi
cal advisers, is continually telling him
that by invariably responding to the
many selfish demands of a loyal yet
somewhat thoughtless British publiS
he is doing himself serious harm.
you tell me not to do this and that !,
not to 60 here and there" once said
the prince to Sir William after the ia
nous surgeon had administered one OF
his usual medical lectures" as ne
termed it. 81 must, however, fulfill nv
engagements; cannot break my prom

resigned sigh, your royal highness
thinks far too much of the English con-
stitutiOn and far too little of your
own!" you mean to say, then, Sir
William" smartly answered the prince,
laughing, that l pay too much atten-
u,
and frequently neglect the constitution
of Wales!"
The duke of York, son of the prince
of Wales, is a great cigarette smoker.
and has been told by his medical men
over and over again that he ought to
knock OFF, the deadly cigarette" en-
tirely. Anent this the following good
story is told for the first time. A GER
tain clever, but very bigoted and can
tankerous old physician was contin-
ually dinning into the dukes ears not
only the danger of smoking but the
wickedness of it as well. "Your royal
highness," once said this privileged
medico to the duke, whenever l see
