The School.

The fifth month of school closed
February Sth with an average attend
auce Of 1ll-an increase of seven over
previous month. 1t is earnestly hoped
by the teachers that as good a showing
can be made for the remainder of the
term. Whether there is or not de-
ponds not on them but on those who
support the school. Certainly parents
are or ought to be as much interested
in this matter as the teachers. But
that some are not, seems evident. We
are trying to build up the school in
Clifton, and to do this the attendance
must be kept up. This cannot be done
without the cooperation of parents
and others interested. That the school
is not doing the most satisfactory work
is or should be no reason for not sup
porting it. Better work cannot rea-
sonably be expected until there is a
new building and an increased number
of teachers.
When the people determine to have
better school they can have it. The
determination can be made effective in
part by supporting the one they now
have. The personality of the teacher,
or the work being done, should not
make them Indifferent to the extent to
withdraw their support.
Respectfully,
j. +. WILLIAMS.

Joints Must Go.

Topeka, Kan. Feb. 10.-A mass meet
ing OF the citizens OF Topeka this after
noon, at which 1900 were present, de-
cided that the joints of this city must
60 at once. Friday, February 10, is
named rs the time when the cleansing
Of the city must be complete. If il Is
not done by that time .an army of a
thousand men will Immediately move
upon the joints and remove them by
force.
The meeting was remarkable in every
respect. II was called by committee
OF the Law Enforcement League" and
was attended by nearly all the promi-
nent buciness men OF the city. The
conservative men, who have heretofore
ad vocated moderation, insist that the
people OF Topeka will take the law in
their own hands.
An ultimatum was passed command
ing the officers of the city and county
to perform their duty regarding the
closing of the joints.
Property owners on whose premises
the joints are kept, were warned that
they had better abate the nuisance al
once or the people of Topeka would not
be responsible FOR the damage that
might ensue to the buildings.
Mrs. Nation has also kicked up big
row in Kansas City, Kansas. where she

Justice Barnett in his court yester-
day decided, and very properly. that
jurors in criminal cases are entitled to
fees. The act of 1893 repeating para
graph 1881 of the revised statutes
which provided for fees was itself re-
pealed in 1895, and the original oa"a-
graph 1881 restored and thus jurors in
such cases have since 1895 been entitled
10 fees Of 81 per day, but il seems that
the restoration Of the paragraph has
been overlooked in the justices courts
and jurors therein have been made to
serve without fees in such cases. In
the Sims case in JusticeBurnett's court
the other day the jury was detained
two days ana, on getting their verdict
ready, demanded fees IL there was any
way to get them and in examining into
the matter Justice Burnett discovered
the real legal state of affairs and in
consequence the jurors in the case
named have each put in Il bill to the
board for fees which under the law the
supervisors will-be obliged to allow.
This is good law and common sense,
but it will add heavy item of expense
to the taxpayers % this county.

From our regular correspondent
The farmers aud stOckmen are all
happy. The storm Of last week put
plenty OF snow inlhc mountains 10 in
sure sufficient water for irrigating pur-
poses until the rainy season, and the
water holes and tanks on mountain aud
plain are filled, 80 that the stock can
go out to ne~ grazing, and spring feed
is assured.
Today the children are gleefully
singing the old nasery rhyme, Moth
er Goose Up in The Sky" rs the beau
tiful snow falls in flakes as large rs a
half dollar. The hills are covered
with white mantle and in the valley
it mostly melts as fast as it falls and
sinks into the ground to quicken the
life in the small grain. Soon the val
ley will be covered with verdure aud
the heart OF the weary traveller will be
gladdened by the sight rs the train
pulls into the valley of the plains, the
common comment will constantly be
heard at the railroad station from the
passengers "Oh! What beautiful
little place is Duncan
Several families have recently arriv-
ed from the east and the lower valley
and larger acreage is being cultivat-
ed this year than ever before.
Mr.. Pitt. of Clifton, is frequent
visitor in Duncan on his way to and
from his farm Eve miles above town.
He will have Il model farm when all
improvements contemplated are COM
pleted. There is no land more produc-
tive or that will respond more quickly
to cultivation and water than the soil
in the Duncan valley. Most Of it is
absolutely free from alkali, which is
very troublesome in many other sec
tions. Nowhere are the returns from
land greater. as everything grown can
be readily sold ut good cash prices in
Clifton and Morenci; and the capabili-
ties of the soil have not been half dis
covered.
We had an intellectual treat last
Saturday which was thoroughly enjoy
ed by all who attended. 1t was the
readings Of Alice Hamill Handbook at
the school house. Her rendition OF a
scene in Hamlet was grand and her
humorous recitations were very enter
tanning. Those who were fortunate
enough to hear her win probably mover
forget her bobolink warblings. She is
no less charming Off the stage than she
is fascinating on it.
This week Mr.. and Mrs. Handbook
are the guests OF Mrs. II. G. Day and
Miss Bunker, the Day district school
teacher. Mrs. Handbook is billed to
appear in Clifton and all who don't at
tend will only be sorry once, and that
will be cver'after.

SELDOM Il day passes but the ERA
receives 4 letter inquiring about GER
tain mining companies operating under
charter from some of the eastern
states and supposed TO be doing BUSH
ness in this section. In uine cases out
OF every ten these companies have
never been heard of in this section.
No one knows anything about them.
They have no mines. at least nothing
worth calling mine, and yet they
seem privileged to operate under the
law, and are fleecing the eastern peo-
pile right and left, and Arizona takes
the odium therefor. There should be
territorial law passed requiring all
mining companies operating in Arizona
to take out charter under her laws,
with Il board of local directors. This
might not entirely prevent illegitimate
stock deals. but it would not be so easy
for fake companies to organize and
operate, as home men with good names
do not care 20 mix up with eastern
stock jobbers. The people of Arizona
never make dollar out of these Wild
cat schemes, yet Arizona is given the
credit of these nefarious enterprises
Our legislature now in session should
pass some law to correct this evil.
