John F. Smalley made determined at
tempt to take his own life at his home on
Waldo avenue Monday evening. He has
been ill for long time apd for several
weeks has been confined to the house. OF
late his mind has been unsettled, in addition
to his physical ailments, and he has been
carefully watched. Monday evening he by
some means got possession of sharp pocket
knife, which he plunged into his throat.
1t entered between the jugular vein and
the wind-pipe, but did not sever either.
though it cut off number of small blood
vessels, from which he bled freely. The
wound was deep, extending through into
the mouth. Drs Kilgore, Small and Filing
wood dressed the wounds, and together
with friends and neiglbors did everything
possible for the sufferer. The physicians
think there is prospect or his recovery if
nothing new develops, as his symptoms are
favorable.

tertainments ever given here. All the per-

yet there will be all the features of first
class circus and menagerie. The menagerie
will include the greatest aggregation of wild
animals ever exhibited in-Belfast Opera
House; and in the circus will be found
everything usually seen in regular ring per-
formances. There will be riding, vaulting,
tumbling, trapeze work, clowns, etc. The
troupe of trained elephants, goats, birds,
etc., will be a surprise to the spectators.
The side shows will contain variety of
freaks and curiosities, with music and the
ever-present l0ud-v0iced door-keeper The
grand concert to be given after the great
performance will be by some of our best
musical talent and will be well worth the
price of admission.

An open letter by DR.. H. B. Wilson
published in the Vicksburg Post he
advocates an annex to the State Hos
pital at that point, to be erected by
the oity of Vicksburg, for the accom-
mediation of private patients, who are
able to pay for their hospital treat
ment. Dr.. Wilson advocates this ad-
dition for variety of reasons: All
first class institutions, he says, have
such a place; the increasing size of
the city demand it; as tax gather
ing corporation the city owes this an
mex to citizens of moderate means.
This annex, says DR.. Wilson, is not
to take the place of private santa
rum. It il to be conducted not for
profit, but simply with the view of
rendering it self-supporting.

of that answer from the noted negro
educator Tobe Carothers grew
naughty and insolent. The recipient
of a letter from Prof. Washington
and thus the faster at secondhand OF
these immortal joys of social equality
soon found but one course left open.
He was discharged from his post and

fiowered sentiments will not meet
with such chilling and dangerous at
mosphere.
The rapid spread Of negro societiei
bas attracted the attention of tho
farmers of Amite county, who at
recent mass meeting determined to
look into the matter. The following
resolution was adopted
Whereas, it is currently rumored
that secret organizations now exist
among the colored people of Amite
county and counties adjacent, and
whereas, doubt exists as to their pur-
pose; therefore,
"Be it resolved, That in every COM
munity where it is known that such
an organization exists q committee Of
responsible and prudent citizens be
appointed to Investigate the object of
said organization and, if found to be
harmless, that no further action be
taken; if not, we patriotically warn
members of the same that trouble
may result therefrom. An inquiry at
the Office of secretary Of state reveals
the fact that within the past two
years probably forty of these organi-
zations have been formed by negroes.
Numbers of others are doubtless in
existence which have not thought it
necessary to apply for a charter of
incorporation.

Never in the history of the mines in Yuma county has the outlook been as promising as at the present writing. Never in record of their development has it been so fattering. For sever al months past nearly every week has revealed the hidden treasures of prospects upon which generally but little work has been done, but in which when shafts have been sunk a little deeper, or the tunnels and drifts pushed a little further into the mountain side, great bodies of very rich ore have been dis covered. Nearly every week has added several new discoveries tC the already large list of rich and valuable ones winch are on rec ord. The failures have been SC few that we hardly ever hear o1 one. Our miners and prospect ors never felt so happy, never felt so sure of success as they dC today. The reliable reports re ceived from every camp in the county bears out in saying tha' the mining prospects in Yuma county never were so bright as they are at the present time anc never bid so fair to crown the efforts of their owners with sue cess as they do today.

According to the action taken by the House the Flagstaff school will get a fair approprla- tiOn for needed improvements and maintenance while the Tenn pc Normal will have the pro- ceeds of a levy of five cents on the $100 or what will amount to S16, 800 for new dOrmitOries and other improvements. The Uni versity will get-if the House proposition becomes law, and 1t probably will-the proceeds of an issue of $25, ,000 of twenty year five per cent Territorial bonds for the purpose of putting up new buildings, and a tax levy of three -ffths of mill on the dollar for maintenance. A mo- tion was made in the House to make the maintenance tax i've cents on the $1O0 but it failed apparently from an impression that it would increase the amount while the fact remains that three -ffths of mill on the dol lar is six cents on the $l00.
 The bill providing for the en- largement and improvement Of the Territorial prison, c. B. 92, flashed to the surface for a mo- ment, almost unrecOgnized by a majority of the members, and was hurried out of sight into to- morrow, without a motion.

YUr1A Is ALL RIGHT.

The Arizona Republican has recently developed a penchant for ''nagging" at Yuma, dwelling more especially upon the alleged necessity" for the removal of the territorial prison. The ed itorials on this subject, of recent appearance in that paper, while written with an apparent effort to be. funny, contain several mis- statements that need correction, because of the damaging retlec ton upon Yuma.
 The system" of paying for the services of certain city off cials in town lots may be sub ject for fun and gOOd-natured criticism, as employed by the Republican, but as a matter of fact there is nothing illegal or particularly wrong about 1t. We might add that it is not every town that can boast of possessing real property that circulates as money. That city lots in Yuma are accepted as a legal tender for the city's debts is certainly evidence of their stability and value. Yuma city lots are in de mand at good figures.
 Regarding the effort for prison removal the Republican says the Yuma merchants have grown rich upon the patronage of the prison and that all the supplies furnished come from California, and that by reason O1 this alleged state of affairs the territory is deprived of the money paid out for supplies which might be fur nished within it's limits and the money for the support of the in, stitution thus kept at home This kind of talk is rot, pure anc simple. As tofoodSupplies, there is no section or part of Arizona which could come so near sup plying everything needed as tho valleys of the Colorado and Gil; rivers. The valley west of towl grows more good beans, pota toes, onions, cabbages and othe- good things to eat than are pro Guccd in the entire Salt rive
