4 FINANCIAL CRASH.
That Is What Ex-Governor Stone of
 Missouri Says is Going to AiJ. t'" Happen.

Ex-Governor Stone of Missouri was in, Kansas City on Monday, and n conversation with newspaper man said: "".
 "A tremendous financial crash is coming in this country just as sure as fate. Why, the speculation in New York and some other cities is simply maddenlng. Stocks are going up, every one is wild to invest. and there seems to be no limit. There has to be a stop. The financial situation in this country today is unparalleled in the history of the world, and if we should come out of this thing gwithout a panic it would be unexampled in the history of the world.
 'Last week the stocks sold in New York amounted to nearly seven mil lion shares. At par value of Sl00 per share that represents S7,000,0OOI0O. You can just figure it for yourself. In twelve weeks the stock would amount to eighty billion dollars more thah the assessed valuation of all the prop erty in the United States, both real and personal i
 England is getting in a bad way and American securities in London are being sent home. That's going to take a lot of gold out of this country, and it will only hasten the end. There isn't anything behind this financial boom, and I don't see how a panic can be averted."'-

IS IA AND STILL WORKS.
That Is the Account Given by Hel Neighbors of Martina oelada, Peruvian Woman.

Here is a case of longevity vouched for by Fl Morro, of Africa, a city ir one of the Peruvian provinces held for ransom by Chih: .
 ! In. the valley of Codpa. in the same province, Itlsaysa that there is a woman named Martina Celada, who is IA years old and to this day works
 in the fields. According to her many relatives living in Africa she was born in 1757, and has seen most of the noted men of the South American wars of independence.
 ' This old woman has seen three cen turies, the eighteenth, the nineteenth and the dawn of the twentieth. She was twice married, the first time at the age of 40, and the second when she was 60. Her sons and daughters are all dead; some of her grandchil- dren are living, and she has great grandchildren and great-great-grand- children. Two of the last generation are of marriageable age. so the old lady may yet live to see her fifth gen eration- --4.-. ., -, ,.-,
 me oiot woman has some means, but she does not want to enjoy them, because she says it is not yet time. She wants to live as she does in or der to entertain all that come to her house,
 Dona Martina is somewhat blind. for something like a film of flesh cov- CTS her eyes; she has, completely lost her hearing; and her power to think went shortly after her sight But she can still walk very well through the fields she eultivates. and as late as 1899 she was known to climb up a hg tree to gather the fruit. It may be said in passing that such stories of great old age are not very upcommoni in Peru where, the fla cility for gaining a living and the equable climate seem to conducs to | longevity. It is very common thing | to see Indians (cholos) who are said | to be as old as 100 years or more, doing their daily work with the ease of young. man and carrying their years. as lightly as in the days of their youth. -sfs

THE JOURNEYS OF A MAGAZINE.
From Connecticut to Scotland and
 Thence to the Shetland Islands. :.

Probably no other magazines are read by so many people as the copies of The Ladies Home Journal that gc to a Connecticut lady. After reading each number she forwards it to a sister in Scotland, where it is read by the household and neighbors, and carefully laid away till the end of the year. The twelve copies are then given to the stewardess of a Shetland Island steamer, who retains them until read by her and all the crew. Then they are left at remote Shet- land Island town, where they serve as a sort of, circulating library, passing from house to house for d year or more, until they are literally worn out. Tn it's journeys each magazine finds it's way into scores of homes and is eagerly scanned by hundreds ui eyes.

GROOM CREEK HOMICIDE.
William yoho Shot Dead by Samuel
 McAIlister on Saturday Night.

William Yoho, a mechanical engi neer, was shot and killed on Saturday night at the Empire mine, on Groom creek, by Samuel McAllister, also ar engineer. The men were employed by the Empire company in running the hoist at the mine, one working the night shift and the other the day shift, alternating each month. Yoho it is alleged, for some reason or other had made himself disliked by the men and he seems to have charged il up to McAllister. There was also g disagreement in regard to changing from the day to night shift and things were becoming so generally disagree able that the management, fearing that trouble might ensue, discharged Yoho on Saturday morning. This also seems to have been charged ur to McAllister and on Saturday even ing, after spending considerable time at a saloon, Yoho returned to camp and called at McAllister's room and in. vited hih o1t to go down the gulch with the apparent purpose of fighting it out. Yoho being much the larger man and McAllister not seeking any trouble, the invitation was declined Yoho then pulled a gun and fired al McAllister, aud the latter, who evi- dently anticipated trouble, tried to pull his gun also when he saw Yoho's movements. McAllister's weapon caught in his jumper, giving Yoho the advantage. Who got in the next shot could not be determined ex- actly, as McAllister got in his first shot almost simultaneously with Yoho's second. The latter, after fir ing his second shot and after being nit by McAllister backed out a little, when McAllister- fired another time and Yoho sank to his knees, at the same time saying: ."I'l quit, Mac, pick me up." He was raised up, but could not stand, and died in about two minutes.
 McAllister was not hit. but both bullets from his gun took effect, one entering the calf of his right leg, the other entering his breast, ranging downward and coming out through his back. .- -tj .a
 A telephone message was sent to the sheriff's office and deputy sheriff and Justice J. M. W. Moore proceeded at once to the camp. The latter held an inquest, the jury returning a yer dict of justiiable homicide. McAllis- ter was permitted to remain there, but came to Prescott today and insisted on having a preliminary examination.
 The remains of Yoho were brought to Prescott on Sunday and shipped on last nights train to Phenix, where a wife and six children are left to battle with the world.
 McAllister is spoken of by his fel- low employees at the mine as a peace able and inofcnsive man. Aside from some peculiarities and the fact that when drunk he was inclined to be quarrelsome, Yoho is also well spoken of. .....s :.
 ,Yoho formerly worked at the Me Cabe mine and is also said to have been employed at the Crowned King at one time. Hewas a member of the A. O. U. W. lodge and also had a life insurance policy in an old line com pany. ..

STILL ON THE WARPATH.

The Phenix Enterprise dies hard. The presidential trip to Congress- was taken over its protest, although at one time it gave in and consented to let the president go to Congress and to even include Kyrene in his itinerary. A day or two afterwards it changed its mind again and jumped on the Congress trip with both feet, so to speak. It issued an awful threat that the president and party would be held at Tucson and compelled to sit up all night just to keep them away from the Congress mine.
 The trip to Congress was made in spite of all protestations and threats and the unpardonable sin committed by the management of that property was the casting of a S2S,000 bar of gold bullion. If they had taken the party through the mine and mill with out doing this, the Enterprise figured that it might be able to raise doubt in their minds-as to the existence of any gold there. But this S2S,OO0 bar of the shining metal was incontrovef- tible evidence to the party that Aff zona really possesses something out side of alfalfa fields, etc., and that the limits of the productive area are not hemmed by the barren wastes of sand and cacti, which mark the boun- dary line of the Salt river oasis. The Enterprise agrees that this gold bullion incident will be telegraphed all oyer the world and it will tend to advertise Arizona mines.
 G6Ferlor Murphy is held up to the public gaze by the Enterprise as the man wh6, is solely responsible for taking the party to Congress and threatens to ask President Mckinley to remove the governor for taking the president to see d gold mine. Funny proposition, is it nots Yet that is just what the Enterprise says and here is'its5 language: If the people of Arizona do the right thing, this matter will be laid before the presi- dent and MT.
