IN POLICE COURT
Contents of Lauver's Hay Barn are
 Nightly Inventoried.

There was the usual grist in the police noted that the hobo percentage is in creasing with every report of lower temperature elsewhere.
 The first case was disposed of quick ly. for Young Tim, a Chinaman arrest ed on misdemeanor charge. had put uD what is known as bond for aD- pearance. It proved, though, to be, as usual, a bond for non-appearance. It only took Recorder Jobs a minute to declare it forfeited. Another case of till Monday at the request of the de- fendant. as he said he proposed to fight it and wanted time to secure witnesses.
 Then came the hobo list. There were three of them, and they all had good stories to tell. One of them is an artisan who has a good prospect for employment and was given till Monday afternoon to secure job. The other two men, Isaac White and George Thompson, claimed to be miners en route from Jerome to Bisbee. but they failed to impress the court with their worthiness and were sent below for ten and twenty days respectively. None of the three semed to be bad men and there was no charge against them eX- cept that they were broke and found sleeping in Lauver's hay barn. But that is enough. Lauver's hay barn has achieved a national reputation a refuge for tramps, and it is the opinion Of the officers that a t the last national convention of tramDs the barn was . adopted as the official resting place in Phoenix for all tramps in good stand ing. At any rate. the officers are mak- ing that structure one of the points of rendezvous every night and it is a rare thing that they come away with an empty game bag. The police have in structions to break up this nesting place for the winter robins and they propose to obey them. It makes no difference how inoffensive a man may he, if he gets into that barn he is bound to hc arrested and branded as a hobo.
 One of the men convicted yesterday, while not guilty of drunkenness here was free to admit that he wasted money when he did get it. He said: "l | have worked all my life, but am now out of a job; I generally have money 1 but now am broke, and I am usually drunk, but now am thirsty.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
Its Disastrous Effect on British Se-
 curities.

London, Nov. 30.-The stupenduous fall of British government railroad and industrial securities since the South African war comenced is almost without precedent In two years, the Bankers Magazine says, the net de- crease in value of 325 selected listed securities amounts to the enormous to- tai of f143, ,946. .0O0.
 Consols which the day before the Boer ultimatum were quoted at f10374 now f91 1916, whereas in the same period several foreign government stocks and American railroads rose in value to Al, 100000. The decrease of IL British Indian government funds amount to f73. .392. .OOO. The common stock of nineteen British railroads lost in value in the war period over f69, 900, 900. while decline in railroad deben- lures and preferences brings the total loss over f10O, ,0OO, 900.

decide as to the advisability of becom- ing a part of the colony. The commit tee returned and gave a detailed report of the matters into which they inquir- ed, the beauty of the surroundings, the fertility of the soil and the peculiar government of the people. The report was received with enthusiasm, and abort 100 people from four or five counties are now preparing to move to Zion city and will reach there early in December.
 The majority of those who are going have disposed of their farms, but will take their livestock and many of their personal effects with them. There IS much excitement in the communities from which these people will go. and it is altogether likely that others will fol- low. It is said that one member of the committee. which visited the colony, has been made a deacon in the Dowie church. and it was largely through his influence that others have been induced to go.

PAN-AMERICAN BUILDINGS.
Chicago House WreclSing Company
 Buys Them for s132, 2,o00-

Chicago, Nov. 3o.-The Chicago House Wrecking company has bought the Pan-American exposition, as it stands, for S132. .000. Secretary g. H. Harris of the company was informed last night that the offer of the Chicago concern had been accepted and that the com pany would be put in possession on Monday. The same concern had the contract for wrecking the worlds fair and the Chicago postoffice.
 The demolition of the exposition will be begun at once. The company will employ 2,000 men in the work, and it is expected that it will require eight or nine months to level the structures.
 The material we have purchased cost over sS.000. 900 to put in shape orig inally" said Secretary Harris. "There are 100000 feet of lumber in the build ings, 100000 pounds of pipe. 100000 in candescent lights, 10000 fagpoles and 30, 900 flags. More than 1000 freight cars will be needed to bring the material to Chicago"

deck on the San Rafael and it seemed to me that the Sausalito struck us just about amidship. There was a terrific crash and immediately wild confusion. Men, women and children rushed for the life preservers. There were from 15O to 200 people on the San Rafael. Some of them jumped overheard as soon as the steamer collided. but made up my mind to stay by the ship. I had put on life preserver and knew I would float for a while at least. There was an at tempt to lower a boat on the San Rafael, but do not believe many people get off in it. There was too much con- fusion and fog for much to be done. Mr. Tomplxins of the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank was with me.
 lie agreed with me to stay on the boat as long as he could. Between ten and fifteen minutes after the first crash the San Rafael went under As she went down I jumped for the Sausalito, which was close by, and caught or her rail. I was not strong enough to haul myself up, so I hung on and shouted for help. None of the crew of the Saul salito heard me and I finally let-go my hold from exhaustion and dropped into the water. My life preserver kept me atloat and twenty minutes later l got hold of a rope lowered from the Sausa- Tito and was hauled aboard that vessel I was almost completely exhausted and had give up all hope when l was finally rescued"
 Captain Mckenzie of the San Rafael was the last one to leave the ship. As she wss going down he seized a rope flung to him from the Sausalito and was pulled on board. He thinks that most of his passengers were saved as many of them jumped to the Sausalito and others went on the gang plank run between the two ships to safety. A list of those lost will probably not be avail able tonight It is safe to say. how ever that those lost were all prominent people in the community.

THE TWO CAUCUSES
The Parties of the Fifty- Seventh

MT. Henderson Again Speaker and MT. Richardson the Leader of the Minority - Declaration Against the Trusts

Washington. Nov. 30-The demo- cratic members of the house of repre- sentatives met in caucus in the hall of
 the house today. and at once nominated Hon. James D. Richardson of Tennes- see, for speaker. All former demo- cratic nominees for offices also were re-
 nominated. Several resolutions were introduced defining the democratic pol icy during the coming session.
 There are 151 democrats and popu-
 lists in the house. Of these members
 of the minority, 126 were present, i'm cluding Shafroth of Colorado and New lands of Nevada, silverites. Neville

 clined to enter the caucus. Representa-
 tive Mcclellan Of New York, at the di-
 rection of the democratic members of the New York delegation, who had met
 just prior to the assembling of the caucus, offered the following resolu-
 ton as an expression of the sense of the caucus:
 Resolved. That we shall promote to the utmost of our power the removal of the oppressive existing tariff. It has been truly declared to be the
 mother of trusts. a tendency to create com mbinations of wealth and the estab- fishing of practical monopolies in the
 manufacturing and in the commercial industries of the United States. It threa tens the future existence of in
 dividual manufacturers, merchants and tradesmen.
 That the tendency must be to under
 mine the sturdy independence of large bodies of American citizens, and may well be deemed serious menace to the
 moral and politicar welfare of the country. The time has come when our { industries, manufacturing as well as | agricultural which practically enjoy no protection, for the reason that their
 products are exported and because. whether or not duties be levied in their favor, no competing products can be profitably imported, should be permit ted to avail themselves of foreign mar

 of the present tariff act. But we shall favor such reciprocity treu .ies as will
 reduce, even if they do not altogether remove, the unfair oppressive |. rdel
 of the present system.
 We shall favor just and generous ! treatment of the inhabitants of Porto Rico and Cuba. We are opposed to the l subsidy bill presented at the last ses- sion. as calculated to create a shipping monopoly

PRESCOTT BANK CHANGE
MT. R. N. Fredericks the New Cashier
 of the Prescott National Bank.

Prescott, Ariz., Nov. 30.-(SpeciaL)- Mir. R. N. Fredericks will assume Mon day the duties of cashier of the Pres colt National bank, taking the posi- tion vacated by MT. Henry Kinsley, who goes to Tombstone with MT. Gage as treasurer of the syndicate, which has in hand the rehabilitation of the mines of that camp. The selec- ton of MT. Fredericks as cashier of the Prescott National is regarded as the very best that could have been made. No man in Yavapai county stands higher. As president of the Bashford Burmister company he has been largely instrumental in building up one of the greatest and soundest commercial institutions in the terri tory, and as an active member of the executive board of the bank ever since its organization, his sound judgment and keen business sagacity have con- tributed largely to the success of the institution.

WRITE RIGHT.
Scatter decent. helpful things.


 Good. philosophical Ras Wilson once said to a new reporter. Young man, write as you feel, but try to feel right Be good humored toward everyone and everything. Believe that other folks are just as good as you are. for they are. Give 'em your best and bear in mind that God has sent them, in His wisdom, all the trouble they need, and it is for you to scatter gladness and de- cent, helfpul things as you go. Don't be particular about how the stuff will look in print, but let 'er go. Some one will understand. That is better than to write so dosh ping high or so tarnashtIn deep, deep that no one understands. Let 'er so."
 .'So on the above Dlan,' says M. w Porter of Topeka. Kan, ''I will write what I know of Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food from personal experience. After d long period of indigestion and other disorders, with some misgivings, I took up the use of Grape-Nuts. Despite the hot weather, kept gaining in strength and mentally, a thing had never done at that season of the year.
 ''I found the food an excellent stimu- lant for the brain, and I could do more and better work than I had ever done. It was a revelation to discover how closely the brain and digestive organs were in sympathy with each other. Whatever retarded the work of one had corresponding effect on the other. and the food that tended to put one in proper shape acted accordingly on the other. I know that my great improve ment mentally and physically came from dispensing with unwholesome food and using Grape-Nuts liberally."

 This would open it to miners and would be the next best thing. The reservation was established by execu- tive order, and does not require an act of congress to restore it to the public domain.

A CLOSED INCIDENT
The Arizona Situation Is Defi-
 niteIy Settled
There Will Not be mmeliately" a Successor to Governor Murphy. An Announcement Emanating From the White House.

Washington, D. C., 30.-(Special to the Republican, 1.-The fight for the re- moval of Governor Murphy is confined to his personal enemies in Arizona. There is no echo of it in Washington. No charges have been filed and it is the intention of the administration to have him serve out his term.
 Governor Murphy's commission is dated to expire December 14, 1902. This commission is held to be an original ap- pointment and has nothing to do with previous commissions or the term of of flee of the men who held them.
 The recent fight against Governor Murphy is looked upon by the govern ment officials here as a closed incident only to be revived in the case of future development As the governor does not desire a reappointment the president will find some other man and Col. Bro die probably stands the best chance at the end of Murphy's term though the matter is far iron. being definitely dis posed Of.
Arizona republican., 1901-12-01

A few days ago several of the dem- ocratic papers of the territory in con cert repeated the story which was orig mated some time ago, to the effect that Governor Murphy's successor had been selected, that Il "bushel basket full of charges" had been filed against the governor, and that the new appointment would soon be made, etc. The Los An geles Times also had a special tela- gram from Washington which stated that the governors successor had been named, and the Times correspondent volunteered a lot of statements about Arizona politics which betrayed his ig- norance of the situation as well as the fact that the dispatch was inspired by Arizona politicians with axes badly in need of grinding. The foregoing dis patch to The Republican should set at rest any doubts that the people of the territory may have concerning the gov ernorship. The author of the dispatch is MT. J. D. Whelpley, the famous Washington correspondent, whose in tegrity and reliability put the seal of truth upon everything he writes. No correspondent at the capital is on a better footing with the administration, and few have such excellent opportun- ities for ascertaininf facts from the inside" He has the confidence of the highest officials in the government, be- cause of his responsibility and his we'll earned reputation for always telling the truth.

CATS STRANGE WHIM.
Sleeps Every Night on a board Perch,
Crowded In Between Two Com
tented Hens.

Ordinarily a cats fondness for
chicken costs its whole nine lives,
but at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. c.
Reindl, los Chicago street, Kenosha,
Wis, there was, not long ago, black
cat so fond of these fowls that it
slept every night on a board perch,
crowded in between two contented,
sleepy hens. The animal, two years
old, lost all her nocturnal habits of
prowling, going to bed with the
chickens and waking up at cock crow
every morning.
More than year ago Tabitha took
up with the chickens. The little ones
We're afraid of her in the beginning,
but gradually they became recon-
ciled to foster sister. They even
ceased to struggle when on occasion
Tabitha would pick one of them up
with her teeth, kitten fashion, and
carry it across the yard.
Last summer, before the cat had
left the roost on which she slept, 4
big rat came scampering across the

AMONG THE POULTRY.

By having al the internal arrange
ments of the poultry house movable,
they can be taken out if desired when
cleaning the house.
There is one economical result in
poultry-kee ping that is often lost sight
of. namely. the large amount of waste
food that the fowls pick up.
One of the best ways of removing lice
from fowls is to let them o do it them
selves by having lot of dry earth
where they can dust themselves when
ever they feel like it.
To keep down lice, oil the roosts and
their supports every two or three
weeks with kerosene or carbolic acid.
Sprinkle sulphur, tobacco or insect
powder literally in the nests and re-
move the droppings regularly.

B1sULPHIDE OF CARBON.
1t In Probably tlc Best Chemical
That Can BE Used to Keep In
xects Out of Grain.

TO prevent insects from getting
into newly threshed wheat care
should be taken that the bins are
perfectly clean. If bins or store
houses are thoroughly cleaned and
whitewashed before the grain is
placed in them, many cracks and
crevices filled with insects will be
stopped up. The granary should be
made as tight as possible, and thor
oughly disinfected each season. Be-
fore the adoption of bisulphide OF
carbon, one remedy practiced was
heating the infested grain to 140 de-
grees. 1t was left in this tempera-
ture from eight to ten hours. The
remedy was difficult to adopt, and
was not extensively used. Tobacco,
sulphur and many other substances
have been recommended, but have
not been used with satisfactory re-
suits where large quantities of grain
are stored. The simplest, most eff
fective and least expensive of all REM
edies for stored grain insects, says
the Globe Democrat, is the use of BIZ
sulphide of carbon. TO insure grain
from the attack of insects it should
be treated with bisuiphide thorough
ly after being placed in the bin. 1t is
foul-smelling liquid, which evapo-
rates very readily. The fumes are
heavier than air and penetrate the
grain, producing an atmosphere in
which no insect can live. Although
explosive, this material can be han
died without danger if care is taken
not to have lights of any kind around
during the fumgation. The material
can be thrown directly upon the
grain. without injuring it either for
seed or edible purposes. About one
pound, equivalent to a pint, is nee
essary for one ton of grain in store.
1T should be poured in soup plates
or tin pans, set about the surface Of
the grain. The price of bisulphide Of
carbon varies from Is to 30 cents per
pound, depending on purity and guam
tity purchased. There is grade
known as umabisulphide of carbon,
especially manufactured for the dis
infection of grain and seeds.

STRANGE FRIENDS.

floor. From the COW barn next door
Mr.. Reindl heard the cat spring from
the perch and went to the door of
the hennery to see. After killing
the rat, the cat carried it over to the
startled hen and laid it down beside
her, purring assurance, which Biddy
evidently understood.
One night recently the cat was
locked out of the hcnhouse, and aft
er supper the family was attracted
by her yowlings at the door. When
the door was unlocked Tabitha
scrambled up the gangway to the
perches and took her accustomed
place without single protest from
the hens.
The cat is only an ordinary mon
grel, but in many ways she shows
unusual intelligence. No one can ex-
plain the freak which prompted her
to choose the companionshlp of
chickens.
