Worked His Last Shift.

Saturday night Ed. Cunningham, a miner employed by the copper com pany, was found under-a pile of rock, his skull crushed and life extinct. The coroner's verdict of accidental death was founded upon the surmises of witnesses examined who, judging from the mute evidences of the acci- dent, thought that Cunningham was loosening rock overhead with crow bar, which likely slipped and threw him under the falling rock. The back and side of the skull were crush ed. Mir. Cunningham remarked to a companion as he went on the shift that it would be his last one, as he in- tended to quit and pay a visit to his people in Vermont. The deceased was about 3S years old and had work ed in Colorado and Arizona num- Der of years. The company wired the deceased's family and not receiv- ing instructions to ship the body east, had it inferred here. The Miners union took charge of the fun eral services, which were attended by a goodly number of the organization. Reporter.

News for Tubatama.

Early this week Mir. J. N. Walsh, superintendent of the Sonora Milling & Mining Co.'S mines at Tubatama, Sonora, Mexico, telegraphed Secre- tary Saxhang that strike of an i'm mense body of rich ore running from 50 to 545 ounces per ton in silver had been encountered. The strike was made in La Fortuna mine and the company has increased the force of men employed in the development of that property. There are hundreds of thousands of tons of high grade ore at Tubatama awaiting treatment.
 Yesterday evening MT. Sa1hang re- ceived wire from Messrs O'Keefe and Dessart, in Los Angeles, stating that the trial run of ore turned out very satisfactorily and fifty ton smelter had been ordered. It will be set up and running within three months.-Nogales Oasis.

Club Women m Iowa.

Iowa numbers upwards of 220 woman's clubs, with a membership of individuals counting over 5000. In the number of clubs this state is the leader, although as her clubs are small the aggregate is nothing com pared to Massachusetts with 22,000, New York with 5000 and Illinois with 10000 memberships; but all the latter clubs boast memberships of from 200 to 1000 each. The January Delineator has an interesting paper on the subject of Iowa clubs, with a portrait of Mrs. A. c. Baily, president of the state federation. The depart ment of club women is one of the best features of this magazine, con ducted as it Is by Miss Helen NJ. Winslow, the editor of the official organ of the General Federation of Women's clubs.

The Last 0bseqnIes.

The remains of the late Samuel Hill arrived from California on Saturday evenings train, accompanied by his nephew, Wm. Greenwood. The body was taken direct to Masonic hall where it remained until Sunday after noon, when funeral services were held by officers of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. Grand Master Geo. A.. Mintz of that order and other officers came up from Phenix to take part in the funeral services which were of very impressive nature. The hall was filled with sorrowing relatives and friends of deceased, and sympathizing friends of the bereaved family. The choir of the Methodist church under the leadership of H. D. Aitken fur nished the music for the occasion.
 Deceased was member of the Ma sons, Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, and two members from each lodge officiated as pail bearers as fol- lows: Masons, N. Levy and J. C.. Martin; Odd Fellows, Benjamin Rob- inson and P. G. Rossenblatt; Knights of Pythias, Wm. Dewitt and W. J. Craft.
 The funeral services were conduct ed by the Odd Fellows, and the Knights of Pythias lodge attended in d body, wearing the ensign of the order. Interment was in Odd Eel lows and Knights of Pythias ceme- tery, and at the conclusion of the ser vices of the above order at the grave the benediction was pronounced by Rev. F. T. Bennett.
 In the death of Samuel Hill this community has lost one of its best citizens, and his family a devoted husband and affectionate father. The esteem in which he was held by the community was manifested yesterday by the long procession whichfollowed his remains to their last resting place

President Roosevelt.

When we say he is an old fashion ed American we mean that he be- longs to that strong, vigorous, authoritative type which has always existed in America and always been apparent Nenough in business and private life, though of late it has been somewhat submerged in politics. The late Lord Sherbrooke declared that what he liked about one of his col leagues Hartington-was his ''you-be-damnedness, fearlessness and determination is to be found in Mir. Roosevelt. He is essentially one of those men who know exactly what they want and mean to get it. But together with this intensity and keen ness the new president is man of moderation.-London Spectator.

The Cara of Cats.

4 new book, entitled Pussy Meow"
 has appeared, in which the author,
 Louise PattersOns, essays to do for
 the cat what ''Black Beauty" did for
 the horse. The story is told by the cat, and the book contains many hints as to the proper care and treat ment of these animals.
 The only reason why cats, have not been exterminated by the juvenile population of civilized countries is that tLey have retained enough of their wild instincts and training to defend themselves. Their ever-ready claws generally secure them immu- nty from too pressing personal atten- tions and their ability to climb trees gives them an avenue of escape from their natural enemy, the dog. But for all that, they suffer in many ways from their carelessness or deliberate cruelty of the people among whom they live. They are left in deserted houses, without food; they are given no water to drink-and that means that they cannot keep themselves clean in the natural way. and some men even think it is fun to set their dogs on every cat they can find. Lit tie pains is taken, as a rule, to de- velOp their intelligence or affection, and they are regarded for the most part as necessary evils or useless pets.
 That cat is as intelligent as a dog, no one who has had much to do with them can doubt. There are many in stances on record of cats which were devotedly fond of their owners; and of late many animal trainers have successfully undertaken to learn them tricks. If people would only take pains to treat their own cats we'll, and dispose of every homeless, forlorn, uncared-for cat they see about the alleys, the cat as a whole would repay the trouble.

BIG CROP OF GUNS.
Scene in Georgia Court RoOm-Judge,
 If not Law, Was Respected.

Georgia has stringent law for bidding it's citizens to carry pistols on pain of forfeiting the weapons and paying a fine of $50 dollars or being imprisoned for thirty days. Shortly after the passage of this enactment Judge Lester was holding court in a little town, when suddenly he sus- pended the case by ordering the sheriff to lock the doors of the court house.
 "Gentlemen," said the judge when the doors were closed, T have just seen pistol on a man in this room, and cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to let such a violation of the law pass unnoticed. ought, perhaps, to go before the grand jury and in dict him, but if this man will walk up to this stand and lay his pistol and fine of one dollar down here will let him of this time"
 The judge paused and a lawyer sitting just before him, got up, slip ped his hand into his hip pocket, drew out a neat ivory-handled six shooter and laid it down with one dollar upon the stand.
 "This is all right" said the judge, "but you are not the man I saw with the pistol"
 Upon this another man arose, and laid down a Colts revolver and a dol lar bill before the judge. who repeat ed his former observation. The pro- cess went on until nineteen pistols of all kinds and sizes and shapes lay upon the stand together with $19 by their side. The judge laughed as he complimented the nineteen delin- quents upon being men of business but added that the man who he had seen with the pistol had not yet come up, and glancing at the far. side of the court, he continUed:
 ''I will give him one minute to ac- cept my proposition, and if he fails will hand him over to the sheriff."
 Immediately two men from the back of the court arose and began to l move toward the judges stand. Once they stopped to look at each other, and then, coming slowly forward, laid down their pistols and their dol lars. As they turned their backs the judge said:
 "This man with the black whiskers is the one that I originally saw Ex.

Mrs. McDon- aids parents, Mir. and Mrs. Byron Newton, reside in Denverand she left here the latter part of November for a visit with them. When she left Prescott sine was in excellent health and no one ever thought that she would not return here again. A week ago today Mr. Mcdonald received a telegram announcing her serlous ill ness and he at once hastened to her bedside and was with her during her last days on earth. No particulars oi her illness have been received.
 Deceased was a very estimable young Christian woman and besides her husband she leaves a httle daughter to mourn her loss. They have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement. While nothing has been learned concerning the fun eral, it will probably be held in Den yer, inasmuch as her relatives resided l there.

4 Beautiful Comedy.

The most pleasing feature about the beautiful comedy ''Too Rich to Marry" which will be at the Dake opera house soon, is the simplicity of it all Any artist of the present day will say that an over abundance of color or detail ruins the artistic effect of a picture. So it is with many of the stage effects. Too much spec tacular effect abstracts one from the real merit of the piece.
 "Too Rich to Marry is not com edv given in the old fashioned style of the Shakespearian drama devoid of scenery or costumes, but the pie ture comedy does not have to resort to an elaborate stage setting for back ground to offset a poor plot or an in ferior company. The costumes in the polite comedy are accurate in every detail and historically correct.

A Sweet Love Story.

The polite comedy ''Too Rich to Marry" which will be seen at the opera house soon is the humorous and pathetic story of young lover who is infatuated with a sweet and simple little Dunkardess, and whose affections are requited, but he is the heir to a large fortune, and for that reason is not acceptable to the Dunk ard parents, who think as part of their belief that riches are curse. On account of the love of the young couple and the opposition of the parents, complications arise which af- ford wealth of humorous situations and the working out of the difficulty is more than pleasing and holds the attention of all to first a laugh and then bit of pathos so well blended that the story seems to be that oi every day life instead of a stage pro ductiou.

Reports coming from various sections
of the United States show, according
to Botanist Pieters of the agricultural
department that with advancing prices
a large amount OF adulterated clover
seed is offered and that where buyers
are not sufficiently careful or well in
formed much is actually sold. This au-
thority further tells that the clover
crop for 1900 has not been up to the av-
erage in either quality or quantity es-
pecially in the states that furnish the
higher grades. European dealers are
offering seed in America, and although
much of this is doubtless American
seed that was exported during times
OF low prices, it is possible some seed
OF the European variety may find its
way to America. The use of European
clover seed would undoubtedly prove
disappointing to the American farmer,
