Mrs. John Spahr. Contrary to first reports.
she Is still alive, but the shot which her
assailant fired into his own heart caused
his almost instant death. The girl is about
seventeen years Old and has been a men,
Der of the Spahr family ten years. She

Her assailant, David Corle, of Salamonia,

been keeping company about year, but
had become estranged, and Corle called at

OF their letters. This accomplished he
asked the girl TO step into the next room,

ran outdoors and killed himself.

THREE presidents out of the last ten have been assassinated, and it has so happened that they were three of the wisest and greatest Anarchy, like death, Cloves shining mark" It seems impossible to fix a punishment to fit the monstrous crime of anarchy, which MUST be stamped out, or the great republic cannot live. An effort was made by many bot-headed aud minimizing men at the last general election to charge the crime of anarchy upon an entire party. but the only re. suit was to make the name semi respectable. This was great mistake. Love of country and love of law are not confined 10 any one party. Even the socialists condemn the dastardly assassination of President Mckinley. And Low many fools there are who consider socialism and anarchism as synonomous terms. Webster's dietion- ary defines socialism as "A theory of society which advocates more precise, orderly and harmonious arrangement of the social relations of mankind than that which has hitherto prevailed, ? while anarchy, according to the same authority, is "that state of society where there is no law or supreme power, or where the laws are not efficient, and individuals do what they please with impuhity." Surely, even the hair brained editors ana orators who charged the democrats with being party of anarchists can distinguish the difference.

USDouBTEDLY the frs; work in irrigation which the government should undertake is the construction of dam on the Gila Riv,,r at san Carlos in Arizona. because this iul- provement would not ol,iy bring under cul- tiyation a large area of arid land for the use of white settlers, but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only strik- ing object lesson of the advantage of firriga- tion on large scale, but also an act of mercy and iustice.-lLos Angeles Times Editorial Feb. l2, 1901

IT is not often one sees anything in the Globe Times to commend, advocate of anarchy as it is, but the following item is an exception:
 There Is a strong tendency on the part o f the Arizona press to boom every wildcat camp in the territory, its management, its methods and everything that relates to it. This Is mistake; 1t undermines the terri tory in the estimation of investors; it fre- quently beats men out of their wages. and in the long run is an injury to the whole people. It does not serve the best interests of the whole territory and the Times won't stand for it.

OUR INCORPORATION LAWS.
A Complimentary Description by Law
 Journal.


 "The Law Students Helper, published by the Sprague Publishing company, Detroit, Mich, in it's August number compliments the new incorporation law of Arizona as follows:
 srhe latest session of the Arizona legislature passed general iIcorpora- tion law which has drawn the attention of ineorporators from several of the eastern states and promising to make Arizona formidable rival of WestVir- ginia, Delaware, Maryland and South Dakota, which states have heretofore had a monopoly in business in this line. All the good features of the incopora- tion jaws of these states are included in the new law, as well as numerous other advantages to the incorporation. Private property is tempt from corpo- rate debts, no annual or other reports are required, there is no other or an- nual tax upon the corpo ration. None of the 1ncorpordtors need appear to be residents of the territory, and the amount of capital stock does not in- crease the cost of incorporation.
 1t is only necessary that the corpo- ration appoint resident of Arizona as its agent. Over 5000 companies have been incorporated under Arizona's ia. vorable laws, the bnlk of which are eastern companies and California and Texas oil companies. The entire ex- pense of incorporation, including agent fees, will not exceed s6o and often times is less"

 For winning the affection of a charm ing young woman and making her his bride, Col. Robert J. Northam is asked to give up $50,0O0 of his good hard money. A sun like that would be mere bagatelle for Col Northa m to pay for anything he had set his heart upon, but the chances are that he will object to paying such price for wife whom he has already won and who is his for better or for worse until death, or the divorce court shall them part.
 Tie man who thinks Col. North4m has more than his share of the good things of this world and who seeks to compel the Colonel to "divvy" up. is Stanley c. Gilkey, young clerk in the employ of the London Clothing Company. Young Gilkey claims to have had prior lien on the heart and hand of the present Mrs. Northam, and he figures that Col. Northam has damaged him to the extent of S50, ,0GO by displaciDg him as the successful suitor of Miss Leotia k. Stoney.
