4 Painful Accident.

D. NJ. Clark, proprietor of the Pres colt Steam laundry, had narrow es- cape from being scalded to death this forenoon. As it is he is very seri- ously, if not dangerously injured. He uses oil for fuel at his laundry and this forenoon he went to the furnace for the purpose of changing the valve which regulates the flow of oil. Just as he was about to stoop down to open the furnace door, the end of one of the steam tubes of the boiler blew out and a volume of escaping steam and boiling water struck him about the face, chest and arms, literally cooking them. As he turned to get away the steam and the water struck him on the back and he is scalded from his head down to his lower limbs. His face is swollen beyond ali recognition and his injuries are eX- tremely painful.
 He was taken to the Prescott hotel where he is being nursed by Mrs. Clark and receiving medical atten- ton. It will be months before he can fully recover. He says that at the time of the accident he was standing up and received the force of the water and steam on his chest and arms. If the accident had happened few minutes later, he would have been in a stopping posture and would have received the full force of the es- caping steam and water direct on his head and face and thinks he would have been killed on the spot.

lmnnItant Discovery.

Prof. w. H. Holmes, of the bureau of ethnology, aided by Prof. w. A. Gill. has just completed an investiga- ticn of a sulphur spring near Alton, I. T. A mastodon's tooth was found in the bog which surrounds the springs. The tooth was sixteen inches long, four inches thick and and weighed twenty-one pounds. Other interesting specimens of an earlier age were also discovered, in cluding smaller teeth, arrow points, spear heads, and a collection of tone tools. Prof. Holmes filled three large boxes, each box weighing from 200 to 300 pounds. These held the lar ger teeth and bones, while a small box of 100 to l50 pounds weight held the stone implements, all of which were shipped to the Smithsonian in stitution at Washington.
 The spring is located out on the flat prairie, about two miles north of the town of Alton. The water comes up strait in a deep bog or quagmire, which covers half an acre of ground, and most of the year nothing can go into it without begging down. If one should jump up and down anywhere around on the bank, a bog will shake like a huge bowl of jelly.

Bryan and Roosevelt.

Col Bryan thinks that Colonel Roosevelt has reached the parting of the ways. He thinks that he should not try to be president again but should make such an anti-boss record that he wouldn't be fit to run again, thus creating split in the republican party and giving some good demo- crat, say a-man about the cubic weight of Mir. Bryan, an opportunity to break in. Bryan possesses one trait which stands out like the wart on a nose that is persistency. If Bryan were run through threshing machine he would bob up for supper. He can't comprehend that he is po- itically dead and buried even after attending his own funeral and look ing into the face of the corpse. It is hardly necessary to state that Roose- welt, who wouldn't take bake back talk from such experienced statesmen and patriots as Platt and Hanna, will not receive suggestions from Bryan. The only individual who ever made Roosevelt toe the mark was the good woman who sits by his side in the White house.-City of Mexico Anglo American.

The Divining Rcd.

The wizards here recently with di- vining rods and apparatus for locat- ing and defining mineral veins, have done a work that has caused no end of discussion by those who are in- terested in mines and have come in contact with the operations. If half that is claimed for these locators is true, mining will lose much of its un- certainty. Several companies here that had these men go over their properties have sufficient confidence in their markings to change the direc- ton of workings to conform to the wizards's ideas of the location of mineral. One of the men was taken over the ground of the U. V, by the mines officials With the sticks the stranger was supplied with, he abso- lutely located every piece of rich ore in the U. V.; pointed out every ''horse," and in fact told as much about the mine walking over the sur face, as the men employed in the mine knew.-Jerome Reporter.

WELCOME TO THEIR PASTOR.
The Cohgration of the Methodist Church Tender an Ovation to Rev.
 H. w. Peck and Wife.

Members of the Methodist church and congregation, celebrated the re- turn of Rev. and Mrs. H. w. Peck, from their visit to California where the former attended two sessions of conference, by giving them a sort of "home coming" reception last night at the parsonage.
 The large number in atten- dance, as well as the cordiality of the welcome given the couple. at tested better than words the esteem in which they are both held by the people of their congregation, and the satisfaction afforded by the return here of Mir. Peck for another year as pastor of the church.
 The rooms of the parsonage were crowded during the evening with their friends and the greetings to the couple were most enthusiastic.
 In addition to its being a manifes- tation of joy and satisfaction over their return, it so happened that yes terday was the tenth anniversary of their marriage also, which made the event doubly appropriate. The cou pie were the recipients of a number of presents in tin, of more or less unique design, some of them more or less comic in their nature, which added to the merriment of the occa- sion, and after the ceremonies attend ing the presentation of these were over Major J. NJ. Watts ia very happy but brief address presented them with a beautiful set of solid silver spoons as slight token of the esteem in which they are held, to which Rev. Peck responded in an appropriate manner.
 The members of the Chinese mis- sion also remembered the couple with some very handsome presents.
 The Prescott orchestra was present and discoursed music during the evening and the ladies provided ar elegant repast for the refreshment ol the inner being, and the evening was certainly most enjoyable one to all present.
 Rev. Peck has officiated as pastor of the church for two years and is therefore just entering upon his third year in Prescott.

PREMATURE ANNOUNCEMENT.

Reports seem to be conflicting about the appointment of Col. A. O. Brodie as governor and J. M. Jami- son as chief justice of the territory. The telegram announcing the ap- pointments appeared in the Phenix Enterprise of September IS and in the Gazette of the 18th, but does not seem to have appeared in any of the papers receiving associated press re- ports.
 On Sunday morning the following telegram appeared in the Phenix Re publican dated at Washington, Octo- Der 19:
 "ln reply to inquiries from Arizona and other parts of the country regard ing the rumored appointments of Col. Alexander O. Brodie for governor and Judge J. NJ. Jamison for chief justice, there was called out today from the departments of Justice and interior denial of any knowledge whatever of the proposed appoint ments. It was said, though, that the appointment of Judge Jamison, who came highly recommended, had been seriously considered by President Roosevelt and that his nomination would probably be announced along with other appointments and reap pointments when congress convenes." 7"
 In answer to telegram sent to Los Angeles, the Gazette received the fol- lowing reply: The Associated press says: "Brodie has not been ap- pointed governor of Arizona. Proba- ply will be when Gov. Murphy's term expires. The story published to the effect that governors commission had been issued is without foundation"
 The same paper also contains the following interview with Colonel William Christy, who has just re- turned from a visit to Washington:
 "I know President Roosevelt would rather lose his right arm than to see hitch in the issuing of the com mission as governor of this territory to Col. Brodie. I knowEthat the ap- pointment was twice offered to Col. Brodie and refused, and I was pres ent when the position was offered to him for the third time. Col. Brodie on this occasion accepted and Presi- dent Roosevelt warmly grasped the right.hand of Brodie thanking him for his acepting and.at the same time remarking that he felt satisfied with the way Arizonaswould be governed during Col. Brodie's term of office. The president then introduced Col. Brodie to the party of Arizonans who were present, among them myself, as Gov. Brodie of Arizona. He then said he would issue the commission in few days and would send the same to Brodie at his New Jersey home, I am sure the Assoc1ated Press is mistaken in their report"

PREMATURE PREDICTIONS.

Just at the present time there seems to be unusual interest on the part of democratic papers particu- larly, in the appointment of a gover- nor for Arizona. There is a whole lot of 'horse play and peanut politics mixed up with the discussion of a sue cessor for Governor Murphy. The latter was appointed about three years ago, during a recess of congress, and his appointment is what is called a recess appointment. After Con- gress convened in 1898, his appoint ment was sent to the senate, and, on being confirmed by that body, com mission was issued dating from that time, not from lhe date of the recess appointment, and the duration of the term was for four years. According to this, Governor Murphy has consid- erably over a year to serve yet before his term expires, and the agitation of a successor seems somewhat prema- ture at the present time.
 As Governor Murphy's administra- ton has been among the best in the history of the territory-there have been none better, and few, if any, as good-it is not likely that he will be disturbed in office until the expira- tion of his term. President Roose- welt is on record as favoring honest and competent officials and Governor Murphy is certainly possessed of both of these traits.
 The efforts being made in certain quarters to bring hlm into disrepute will fall flat, in the light of honest in- vestigation, and even partisan mis- representation can have but little ef- feet in influencing public opinion against him, for whatever criticisms may be made of him and his public acts, the charge of dishonesty or cor ruption in any manuer cannot be laid at his door. He has been conscien- tious and honest as public official, and will, without doubt, be permitted to serve his full term of office Months ago he gave out that he would not be an applicant for reap pointment.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says: Indiscriminating denunciation of men Tn office is wrong, but just criticism is in the public interest. The prevalent fault is the lack of dis crimination. Just criticism seldom leads to assassination. The lesson can not be too thoroughly learned that murder is not one of the re- sources of civilization, while criticism of men and measures subject to re- sponsibility for its abuse is of the es- sence of liberty" The Courier-Jour- nal is mistaken in a portion of its reasoning. No criticism will lead to assassination. Assassination is the work of Satan in diseased and evil brain, and it is unfair and smacks of crazism to lay it at the door of free press. However, it must be admitted that billingsgate and vituperative as saults should be condemned when used by hair-brained individuals who believe that their mission in the world is to abuse somebody through the columns of an irresponsible news paper.-Ex.

The Guiteau Jury.

It is quite generally thought, and has been published from time to time that the Guiteau jury which was com posed of twelve citizens of Washing l ton, have all died since the trial and conviction of President Garfield's as- sassin twenty years ago. But such is not the case. Oniy four of that fam ous twelve good men and true have passed away, Il fourth one. a retired merchant, Mir. Prather, having died a few weeks ago.
 John P. Hamlin, the foreman of the jury, is living ill this city, hale and hearty old gentleman of more than three score aud ten years. He was seen at his home in Morgan avenue, and talked at length of the Guiteau trial and the personnel of his colleagues. Mir. Hamlin said:
 "We are fully convinced that Gui teau was conscious of what he was doing when he fired the fatal shot. You know he denounced us with a curse that caused shudder to pass over the vast throng in the court house. When I announced the yer dict he said: My blood be on the head of that jury, and don't you for get it. That is my answer, and God avenge this outrage The average age of the jury was fifty years; Gates, I think, was the youngest, and Mir. Hobbs the oldest. Hobbs, Thomas Heinlin, Fred Brandenburg and Prather are dead, while Bright, Lang ley Wermley, Stewart, Gates, Shea ham, Brawner and myself are living, enjoying the consciousness of having performed our duty when we convicted the arch assassin.
 Poor Sheahan, from physical troubles, has been in the insane asy- lum for some years-not from the Guiteau trial, 1 am sure. Those of our number who have died lived ole old men, you might say. and died as other men die, regardless of Guiteau's bitter curse. Those of Us living are all doing first rate, I believe. I often meet my fellow jurymen in this city but scarcely ever refer to that incl dent in our lives. 1 suppose with them, as with me, it is a memory of the past"
 MT. Hamlin said in regard to his being selected as the foreman of the jury.
 ''f was one of a hundred names drawn and inc thirteenth man called that would answer, and, being the first selected, of course was made foreman. The confinement was long and arduous-over two months in the National hotel, closely guarded by United States marshals. When Judge Cox gave us the charge and we retired I hardly think we were out more than an hour, if that. Brawner, who is now an employe of the district service, read the indictment. We voted only twice; eleven were for con viction. We soon found the trouble for the blank vote, and with an ex- plantation removed it, and in a few minutes Guiteau, was convicted d- Washington Cor.

 Word has reached the city of rich strike of gold ore in the Salt River mountains, ten miles southwest of Phenix, says the Phenix Enterprise. John Creath, who has been prospect ing in that section for the past twelve months, has uncovered an immense ledge that assays an average ot SlOO per ton. Some of the specimens are on exhibition at the board of trade rooms, and are in general character the same as those which have been taken out of prospects in the same locality. Creath has spent much time hunting for this ledge which he felt confident was there. The country, while it does not give great promise of richness, bears the ear marks of a mining district. Several locations have been made in the vicinity of the find. Extensions for several miles are staked out in claims. Should the new discovery prove permanent on it will be of greatbene- fit to Phenix. An effort has been to keep the matter quiet, but it leaked out yesterday. Creath has to his claims with provis- ions and implements to sink shaft.
