MONT PELEE DUST
Demands of Trade Exceeding Supply
 Since the U. V. Shut Down.

Readers of the Republican will re- member that announcement was made a few days ago that B. F. Porter of this city was the recipient of a sample of volcanic dust from Mont Pelee, sent to him by an eastern manufacturing firm. Yesterday he received another envelope from Jerome with similar dust and and the following interesting letter from Fl. J. Allen financial agent Of the United Verde Copper Co:
 Friend Porter: I note by the papers that you have received a package of genuine Mont Pelea ashes. I enclose herein some more. thinking you might want to keep 1t all in the family as a valuable souvenir. However, will state if any Of your friends desire a supply. we will be glad 10 furnish 9 keg or two for distribution. Since the shutdown at Jerome, the demand for these ashes exceeds the supply, owing to there be- ing no accumulation of flue dust. Trusting we will be able to do some business in this line later or, and with kind regards, I am, Yours respectfully, H. J. Allen.
 P. s. Since the shut down at Jerome and our not being able to furnish these ashes. the chemical companies have been using a base imitation-pulverized scale from the boilers, but the enclosed package is the real thing" II. J. A.

STOUT ALONE
Sanders and Norton Withdraw From
 the Fight.

The democratic political situation was not materially changed yesterday. It was announced that both Sanders and Norton had drawn out of the con test fer the nomination for sheriff, but that was a foregone conclusion on Wednesday night. It was given out yesterday evening that MT. Sanders, to show his loyalty to the party, in spite of the events of last Wednesday, would ask the privilege or seconding the nomination of Stout.
 George Purdy Bullard also announced the withdrawal oi his candidacy for the nomination for district attorney.
 There was a good deal of coming and going yesterday between the members of the Young Mems Democratic club and the leaders of the Stout forces at the primaries, with the object of ef- fecting a compromise in the convention by which Langston shall be renomin- ated for probate judge and McFall for recorder. There are three opinions among the Stout people on that sub ject. One element is in favor of that kind of a compromise. Another party IS strongly opposed to It on the ground that the other candidates for the nom- nation for these offices assisted in the winning O; the victory, and should therefore not be deprived of their share in the fruits of it.
 There is still another element op- posed to any agreement for a com promise. They are not particularly op- posed to the present occupants of those offices. They say that the fight has been made and the delegates have been elected as Stout delegates. How they may stand as to the other candidates no one knows. At any rate, they should not be interfered with by any of the Stout people. If the contestants for these two offices can influence them, all right but it is believed it would not be good thing for any of the victori- ous party to interest themselves in the affair. By doing so they would either further alienate the Young Mems Dem ocratic club, or else they would alien ate the friends of the contestant who are now friendly. They desire the problem to solve itself in the conven- tion.

BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION
Weapon With Which the Cattlemen
 Can Ruin Sheep Industry.

The cattlemen of this valley seem to be insidiously gobbling up the sheep men by benevolent assimilation. J. l.. Sturgeon recently purchased 1500 head in the north which are to be delivered to him on Cave Creek. s. J. Tribolet has 500 head to be delivered at the same place and P. T. Hurley has 600 in the same vicinity As cattlemen will not trust sheepmen it follows logically that these gentlemen who are all good friends can no longer safely trust eacn other. It was suggested to them yes terday that the only way they could all break even would be to bunch the sheep, form a corporation with a cap= ital stock of 2,900 shares and issue enc share for each sheep to their respective owner. The company bookkeeper could sthen declare equitable dividends if there are any.
 This good natured suggestion follow ed the arrival in town yesterday morn ing of J. E. Sturgeon who was on his way home from the Cave Creek coun- try. He says things are looking well in that section since the rains, and when he crossed the New river flats the day before, the water was running in shal- low channels over the country for a mile in width. Grass is starting and everything is booming.

PLACE BIG ENOUGH AT LAST Why Weirick & Latham Rave
 Moved Twice.

The firm of Weirick & Latham yes terday occupied it's new quarters at No. A North Center street. This firm has been engaged in Phoenix four years in the business of real estate. insur- ance, loans and as mining brokers and fiscal agents. The business has ex- banded so rapidly that twice it has been necessary to move into larger quarters. A little more than a gear ago the firm moved into elegant offices at AZ North Center street, but they soon grew too restricted for the increasing patronage, and it became necessary to seek new and larger offices.
 The new home of the firm is one of the most elegant in the entire south west, and there is plenty of room. The main business office looks like a bank with it's counters and grill work. In the rear is a private office and off from the main office is a commodiouslv fitted room for the accommodation of vis itors, where they may write letters or attend to any private business. they may have.
 No expense has been spared in the preparation Of the new offices. fSr Messrs. Weirick & Latham believe that they are big enough to be permanent. The wood work is finished in grain. The counter is a handsome piece of carved and ornamental work, and all the appointments of the place are in Keeping. There is yet the smell of fresh paint and the>litter of preparation about the offices, but by tomorrow the ilrm will be ready to make visitors at home

merable people-and people of intelli- gence and discretion-do not say seri- ously that there really does seem to be something in the old tradition after all. Yet, of course, if there be any thing in it, the forty days following July 15 must in every year all be either rainy or rainless, and that is a state of affairs which never yet has even once been known. In all the centuries since St. Swithin the saying concerning his day has never once been fulfilled And yet people keep on repeating it with an accent of convictioni
 Again, take the case of the sham watch diais which are used as signs before many jewellers shops. There is a widespread belief that the reason why the hands are always made to point to the hour of SIS is that that was the moment when President Lin- coin was shot, or died, or something, and that by common cOnsent-some say by the law of the land,-that tragic moment has ever since been thus com memorated. Now, the facts are, as any man might readily ascertain for him self. that Lincoln was not shot and did not die at that hour; that there is no law and nc common consent upon the subject, and that, instead of all such dials having the hands thus placed, only a small minority of them are so. For every one set at SIS there are three or four set at some other and en- tirely different hour and minute. Yet the superstititn sticks, and will prob ably continue so to do.
 There is also the million postage stamp" fiction. Who has not heard that any one who collects such a num- Der of stamps will receive certain large sum of money, or will secure the perpetual endowment of a bed in some hospital? There is the legend about unclaimed estates in England" Ask the accomplished secretary of the American embassy in London how many dupes yearly rush into that snnre, or are prevented from so doing only by his good offices. There are many more artificial delusions of the same kind. In the terse slang of the day, they are fakes Yet such fakes have a perseverance which seems, not to speak irreverently, com parable with the perseverance of the saints.-New York Tribune.

INSUFFICIENT SUCCESS.
The Venezuelan Government Starts an
 Absurd Story.

Willemstad. Curacao, September 13.- News from Venezuela is to the effect that the revolutionists occupied Rio Chico, in the state of Miranda, sixty miles southwest of Caracas, and are now marching on La Guaira.
 A battle also occurred on Thursday at Los Teques, about twenty-five miles southwest of Caracas. The revolution ists surprised the town by moonlight, killing sixty men of the government, and wounding 109 with cutlasses. The wounded were taken to Caracas.
 A report is general that Matos' all legged offer to turn over the finances of Venezuela to foreign syndicate in the event of the revolutiCnists being victo- rious is considered in Venezuela as ab- surd. It is asserted that the govern ment spread the report in order to dis crelit the revolution.

 Santonino did not plead guilty. He didn't have to for the police had evil dence enough without his testimony. On some of the shirts there was a laundry mark and by finding the laun- dry the officers got a straight tip to the owner of the clothing, Will Davenport MT. Davenport says the thief must have stolen the clothing from his room and what disgusted him most is the fact that in so doing he overlooked a fine grip well packed with more valua ble goods and in good shape to travel with.

sONORA's PROSPERITY
Phoenix Traveller Given a Moment
 ary View of $6,000,000.

Leslie II. Rhuart, who is in charge of the New York Life Insurance Co.'S bus mess here, returned home yesterday from a three weeks trip for both busi- ness and pleasure, embracing the greater part of Sonora, Southern Ari- Zona and California.
 He first went to Cananea, which he says is a noticably bigger camp every time he goes there. The building oper- ations under the supervision of Fifield and Gallagher with their supply offices and yards in themselves form a nice little town alone. He saw I. D. Reedy Cal Williams, George GrOsvenor and dozen other Phoenix people, all Of whom seem to be cOntented and pros porous.
 On his trip to Guaymas where his company now has an office, he stopped off at Hermosillo, the largest city in the state. He saw one thing there that made him appreciate how little all his money would amount to if it were piled in one heap. The cashier of the Sonora bank which is a state deposit tory escorted him into the big cash vault where he was shown twelve piles of "dobe' dollars. in sacks, there being in each pile $5OO,O 900 or a total of $6 GOO. He says the recent rains have thoroughly regenerated Southern Ari- zona and Sonora, the hills are green and the grass is several inches high. Fewer dead cattle are to be seen from the car windows and the live ones do not look so hungry as a few weeks ago. Returning from Sonora MT. Rhuart spent several days very pleas antly in Southern California.

PERSEVERANCE OF THE FAKES
Silly Expectations That Time Seems
 Unable to Kill.

The persistence of superstitions is q remarkable thing, when these are of what we might call natural origin and when direct disproof of them is by no means easy. Such are some of the folk beliefs about the influence of the moon over the weather and over crops and animals, and various signs and omens. But far more amazing, ineXplicable and, we may say, discreditable, are what We might call artificial supersti- tiOns, which have their origin in idle invention and their maintenance in nothing more than wilful blindness to the truth. Yet these latter, if less nu- merous, seem actually to be more per- sistent than the former.
 There is, for example, the tradition concerning St. Swithin's day. We sup pose it is referred to millions of times every year, in a large proportion of cases seriously, as something which is proving or is likely to prove true. There never are a few rainy days following soon after rainy July 15 when innu-

The shooting at the last two stages was very close. At the SG0-yard mark it seemed to be cer tain the Americans would capture it, being twenty-two points ahead thief British, but at 900 yards the British overlook the Americans and secured lead of twelve points.
 At the 1000 yard range the British and Americans made equal scores. The British team had the advantage of be- ing familiar with the range, having been firing away steadily for the past four weeks. The medal for the high est individual score was won by Lieu tenant Holcomb of the American team.
