Obituary.
Yours truly,
 TUBAC.

B. F. Murphy is dead. He died as he had lived-gently, serenely, brave lv. He was the hOnored father ot Frank M Murphy, president of the 5. F. P. & P. railroad, and of Governor Oakes Murphy. Sanctified by their beautiful ceremonial, limnered in the memories of fraternal brotherhood, the Masons bore his body to the depot this morning and there shipped it to Chi cago, to be thence shipped to Mani towac, Wis, fer burial beside the wife of his youth, the mother of his distin- guished sons.
 Yes, Father Murphy, ,'l'Daddy Mur- phy." "Old Man Murphy" Mir. Mur- phy," is dead. The writer knew him long and intimately well. He was braver than death, yet gentle as the violet, and pure in heart as the dew drop that nestles upon its leaves. Lit tie children loved him, and if he had been buried in Prescott every child within it's limits would gladly have em- braced the opportunity to attend his funeral. A man of strong political conviction, he was nevertheless void ot malice. Fond of discussion, he held his own with the best of us. Possessing wide range of knowledge and a re- tentive memory, he was rarely re- Dulsed in an intellectual conflict. A more honest and upright man never lived than he. He was indeed man of antique mould. Tenderly cared for by his sons, still the latter years of his 1 life were in great measure spent alone, alone with his memories. But no bitterness was ever allowed to enter that sacred realm. Charitable to the needy. kindly to all, he went serenely on his way. And this morning at the depot, when the governor, with fearful eyes, said to Mir. Edwards, who accom- panied the tOdy to Chicago, "Well, Edwards. goodbye" there were hearts there that echoed tEe sentiment; ''You'll take gcod care of the old man on the way, and when you leave him at Chicago tell him for us, good-by, and say that when we meet again we will greet him, good morning. "
 Speed gently, o mighty engine, o'el mountain and plain; lay him beside her. Long time since they two meet again.-J. H. WRIGHT, in Prescott JOurnai-Miner.

AN OLD CHESTNUT.

The Arizona Republican, still trying to be funny on the prison removal question, but only sue ceeding in being ridiculous, broadly insinuates that part of the townsite of Yuma is in Cali fornia. This is a chestnut that has been rung upon every legis- lature for the last ten years. When the Republican makes the statement that any portion of the townsite of Yuma is in Cali fornia, it is responsible for an absolute falsehoOd.
 The court records of this dis. trict show that the assessor of San Diego county, California, (Mark Schaeffer) was arl ested in 1871 for attempting to assess property on this side of the Col prada river. Upon applying to his county for relief and legal assistance the California author ities came to his rescue by sub scribing to an agreement that II Schaeffer were released they would never attempt to collect any more taxes in Arizona, and they never have. This agree ment was accepted by the Yuma county authorities, ana Schaetfer was turned loose. However, a suit was immediately instituted against San Diego county to re- cover $40, ,000 back taxes, which claim was gladly and willingly compromised by that county, and from that day to this the Califor- nia people have confined their property assessments and tax collecting to the other side of the river. If we are not mistaken Judge A. c. Baker, now of PhOe nix, was district attorney of Sar Diego county at that time, and is no doubt thoroughly familiar with all the facts mentioned above. We suggest that for the ' purpose of its enlightenment the Republican interview the Judge on this matter.
 : There is no uncertainty as tt the location of any portion O.
 Yuma. But for the further in
 formation of the Republican W,
 will add little more evidence
 In the same year the Califor , mia assessor came to grief certail businesss men within the limit , previously assessed by the Cali :. fornia county tried to evade tn
 payment. of the internal revenu
 tax to Thomas Bidwel, U. 5 . Internal Revenue Collector fO
 Arizona, who wrote to the treas ury department for instructions
 The reply came from the depart ; ment that the dividing line be
 tween Arizona and CalifOrni
 was the channel of the Colorad
 river, and for MT. Bidwell t
 collect from all parties liable t the tax on this side of the river u No further trouble on this SCOT = has occurred.
 Again: The California author
 ities, in assessing Southern PS cifc railroad trackage neve come this side of a plain mar 5 on one of the bridge timber 70 which indicates the middle ( 7" the channel of the Colorad
 river.
 y These statements of the SEH '" TINEL are matters of fact, borr
 out and substantiated by record
 easily accessible, and we cannC Il understand why the Republica
 should publish statements so ul Il true and which cannot help beir
 of injury to the town of Yuma. |, TWfNTY-FIRST LEGISLATURE

Partisan society has just solved a most
momentous problem. Every one has heard
the expression FIN de siecle,' and most
people have used it, chiefly to describe
persons and things to which they object
ed. Some very modern spirits have even
been known to call themselves and their
own doings fin de steele. Now, however,
that the end of the century has come in
earnest, the expression must perforce be
dropped-at all events for the next eighty
years or SO. AS the peculiar spirit ana
state of mind which it designated APP
pears not only to subsist, but to flourish
more than ever, Parisians have been at
a loss for new phrase Various modifi-
cations were tried, such as commence
meut de steele" debut de siecle, ''nou-
veau steele" but these were all rejected,
not being found neat enough. At last,
with the help, it is said, of a particularly
witty drama tist whose plays have often
provided the boulevards with the stock
phrase of the season, the problem has
been solved. NJ. Henri Lovedan, in
drawing room, is related to have said to
a very modern young man, ''Vous etes,
Monsieur, tout a fait jeune steele" Then
and there Partisan society adopted the
phrase. The young century man" is now
an accepted character in Paris.

Some remarkable figures have come to
light regarding the value of the estates
Africa.
The aggregate gross value of the estates
of 107 of the officers who have died IN
South Africa since the war began in
October, 1909, is a little over 100000,
with an average of about f2S,35O eacn.
Six estates account for f,643, 1861 OF the
total of 100000. Among the 107 officers
were eight under % years of age and six
over so. The oldest was Gen. Sir William
Penn Symons, whose age was SO. Second
Lieutenants Eric Fraser and Douglas
Blackwell Monypeuny were only q. Tween
ty-four of the 1N officers were between
IS and 80 years old, forty-two between 81
and 10, and twenty-oue between Al and so
There have been very few cases-perhaps
not more than five or six, If so many-in
which 1t seemed likely that any claim
would be made for the remission Of duty
which the commissioners have power UNI
der the finance act of 1900 to allow when
the estate of an officer dying on the
battlefield or within year and leaving q
widow or children Is under 5000
| On the other hand, there are in each
year many instances, and the number APP
pears to be increasing, Ia which veterans
who had served with distinction in In
dia, in the Crimea and other campaigns,
and had been wounded perhaps in more
| than one action, leave as provision for q
widow and daughters a far less sum than
that which now gives a claim to remission
of duty in the event of death within the
period named in the act. Most of the es-
tates under $1,000 of officers who have died
| in the present war appear to be those of
| young unmarried men who were in re.
ceipt of allowances from parents or other
relations. Taking the average of the age
OF 107 principal officers, the expecta ton
of life would be probably more than TWEEN
ty years. so that in effect property to the
value of over three millions contributes
to the revenue from the Death Duties, ana
Is distributed at least twenty years earlier
than but for the war would have been the
case. A few estates OF from 5000 to E35,-

Mr.. Gustave B. Grower died yester-
day morning at II o'clock at Tryon, N.
c., news of the sad event being tele-
graphed to his brother. Mr.. Gordon L.
zens' Bank. Mr.. Grower had been i'll for
some three months with Consumption, and
the trip to Tryon was taken in the hope
that his health might be restored. Mrs
Grower accompanied h IN and was at his
bedside when the end came. Besides his
wife. he leaves n little child.
Mr.. Grower was well known in Savan-
nah, and his friends were many He was
joint ticket agent at the Plant system
passenger station for that road and for
the Southern Railway, and his gentle-
manly and courteous treatment OF the
thousands who applied 10 him for tickets
won him the esteem and appreciation of
all whom he served. He was greatly val
ued by the passenger department of the
Plant System by which he was employed.
Up to three months ago none would
have thought, to judge from his ply
sique, that Mr.. Groov,r was destined so
soon to die of consumption. He was
strong and robust, and there was NJ
faint of the disease Ia the Brooks county
family from which be came. The ravages
of the disorder. when it appeared, how
ever, were no less sudden than severe,
and he soon found that he had to seek
the climate of North Carolina TO ever
hope that his life might be saved

err left last night over the S uthern fol
Tryon, whence he will accompany tht
body to Savannah. The funeral will bC
