IOrity-naVe majority IN Legislature.
Returns from the lower part of the
state, says State chairman, j. Frank
Alice, show the Union Republicans to
have carried Kent County from 14O to
175 majority, electing the the entire
county ticket. George Reed Lofand |
ran ahead of his ticket IN some dis
tricts but was defeated by Riley Mel
vim. McCommons was elected Clerk
of the Peace. The Union Republi-
cans have elected three senators and
six representatives in Kent County.
In Sussex County the Union Republi-
cans have elected and possibly 10 to
the Legislature. Sussex County has
gone republican by from 500 to 800
majority, and the Union Republican
County ticket was elected. Owing to
the division in the Republican Party,
Henry J. Houston the Democratic
nominee was elected over Ball, the
regular and Byrne the Union RepIb-
lican. The Republicans and Union
Republican will however control the
Legislature.
Returns from the country at large
leave the final complexion of the next
; House of Representatives Republican.
The present Republican majority in
the House is 40. The United States
5 Senate after March 3, 1903, will have a

and Several Other Brides and GrOOms.
Last Wednesday evening a company
of calithumpian serenaders banded
together and went out in high glee for
an evening of sport and hilarity. They
first visited the home of DIR. and Mrs.
Edward S. Dwight on Main street.
The latter had just returned the night
before from their wedding trip. The
big horse fiddle was brought on the
scene of action, which was supple
mented with tin horns, bells and many
other musical instruments. The pan
demonium was kept up at length and
a large crowd had congregated. After
the s'Roll Call, DR.. and Mrs. Dwight
made their appearance aud greeted the
serenaders with few complimentary
remarks. The callthumpians visited
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Hirons
Denney, and not being successful in
getting them out, moved to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. L. W. Counselman,
Mrs. Denney's parents, where they
were said to be quartered for the
night. This also was an unsuccessful
venture, "CoI." Denney quite out
whiting his friends. Mr.. and Mrs
w. G. Roe and Mr.. and Mrs. JoI4l

6l Majority Henry S. Anthony Defeats
James T. York by Majority Of 81.

One of the hardest fought battles
that ever took place in Duck Creek
Hundred came off yesterday and re-
suited in the supremacy of the Re-
publican Party. DIR. Thomas @.
Moore, candidate for State senator for
the first senatorial district, comprising
Duck Greek hundred, Little Greek
and East Dover, ran far ahead of his
ticket and was elected. W. M. Lewis,
the Democratic candidate, was badly
cut. Henry S. Anthony, republican
candidate for the lower house in the
General Assembly, was elected over
James York. In Duck CreeG Hun
dred DIR. Moore's majority was 81 and
Anthony's majority was 81. The rest
of the ticket shows Republican gains.
The election was fiercely contested in
this district. Early in the morning
the workers were out and throughout
the day there was much activity. The
total vote of the eastern and western
districts in this town is as fo llows:

Funeral Fires Across the Colorado.


 From time immemorial the Yuma h. dians have cremated their dead. The custom is so old and time-hOnored amongst them that no Indians memory ruEneth to the contrary. It is to the manner born," but whether more ''honored in the breach than in the Cb- servance" is quite questionable, since they cnly do in a more expeditions way what Rome, Greece and Carthage did thousands of years ago.
 This custom among the Yumas, like customs among all historical nations, must have had its origin in a cause. The Egyptians embalmed their dead, kings at first, then the nobles, then the patricians, and finally any plebian could find preservation that way if his friends had the means to 'set 'em up in row. in either crypt, mausoleum, orpyramld. The Romans and Greeks incinerated their dear departed for the purpose of preserving the ashes of the "lOved and lest" in urns as a constant reminder that love and the affections of the heart should outliye the allotted period Ot human life.
 The Yumas, no doubt, have their le- gends and traditions as to this custom, but time has so closely interwOven his mist. and obscurities into it, that the warp and wool of the habit are now in- distinguishable. The cause was prob ably a virulent plague which swept away myriads of victims daily, such as that BocacciO describes as depOpula- ting Florence and other cities of Italy, the London plague: CT the yellow fever epidemics of New Orleans, Memphis and other southern cities. The Yumas at that time probably sought it's eXter- imitation by fire, which afflicted civil ized nations bury the germs of disease with the victim and hand epidemic down as an inheritance to future gen. eratiOns.
 Lately an attack of measles has been playing sad havoc amongst the Yumas across the Colorado river. and nightly the red glare of the funeral pyre lights up the horizon all around the moun- tain chain encircling their reservation. The scent of the burning flesh can Ee sensibly perceived in the atmosphere by any one in this city who has his ol- factories exposed at the time. But with the dead dies every living thing belonging to the deceased. All other property likewise peri;hes. This ob- liberation of all earthly possessions, Ot course, makes the Yumas the poorest Indian race in America, and always will, unless they are in some way re- strained in the exercise of this custom.

MOHAWK TO TYSON'S.
The Two Points To Be Connected By Telephone ard Also a Splendid New Wagon, Freight and
 Stage Line.

Bv private letter from Geo. w. Nor ten we learn that he has ordered the wire for telephone line from Kofa to Tyson's, and will have the two points connected within a shcrt time. The distance from Mohawk to Tyson's by the new road is sixty miles as measured by an odcmeter, and the recent rains have settled the ground so that, as Mr. Norton says, it is good for ten-mule teams. The people about Tyson's are very enthusiastic over the telephone line, and the enterprise will have their hearty encouragement and support, as it will be of great benefit to them.
 Mr. Norton in going over the line, among other observations, ascertained by an instrument, the different eleva- tions. and found that there arc no diff cult grades, and the heaviest loads can be hauled over the read without diff culty. Another important feature is that there are three wells on the new road. and there will be no trouble about getting plenty of water at all seasons.
 The opening up of this road and the connecting of these sections referred to by telephone, will result in diverting the trade of the Tyson district to Mo- hawk. The trade now goes principally y to Congress Junction, and is of no small importance and growing with the in- creased development of mines in that rich district.

Fastest Boat in the World.

The submarine boat recently built for the Russian government is supposed to be the fastest in the world. It is claimed that it will cross the Atlantic ocean in two and one-half days. The secret of its extraordinary speed lies in its peculiar construction. The secret of the marvellous success of HOstetter's Stomach Bitters lies in the scientific compromising and extraction of the curative properties of certain roots and herbs. It is family medicine and can be relied on in cases of belching, fatu- lency, sick headache, dizziness, indi- gestion and dyspepsia. It is also an excellent appetizer and nerve-strength- ener, and as a preventive of malaria, fever and ague it is unequalled. Give it trial and you will feel its beneficial effects from the start.

The old postal cars that have been in use on the Southern Pacific. were built years ago, and have none of the modern conveniences. A lot of improved new ones have been put on. The first passed through Yuma last week. These cars have no platform, thus doing away with the "blind baggage hobo" and the rob- Der who lies in wait for the engineer They are lighted with Pintsch gas and warmed with hot water pipes. The cars are built heavier and stronger than the old CneS, and the interior of the car is better arranged for the care and dis pOsal Of the mails. More than that, the life of the postal clerk is much safer in the new cars.
 Gus Suns Minstrels gave frst-class performance at the Elks' Hall last Thursday night. They were greeted with a large and well pleased audience. The solo singing was fine. Al Western was without doubt the best baritone heard in Yuma. The speciality part of ragtime dancing of Kresko and Lynch convulsed the audience with laughter. Each and every act was feature in it. self. The troup left the same night in their special car for Phoenix.
 Col. George Chaffey, who has had the general management of the Imperial Canal from its infancy, has sold all his interests in that company, and retires from the management. He will be succeeded as manager by MT. A. H. Heber. The price received by Col. Chaffey for his interests is not known, but it is estimated at half a million. This change will in no wise affect the company as to its further development or plans.

Ii Might Have Been.

It might have been. An! me, the
 signing
 And vain regrets for days long past, For fame and fortune empty hOnors When night has come and day has
 passed.
 Our heads are whitening for the har-
 vest,
 Our forms are bent with care and sin. Has justice been lamp to guide us? A mute reply. It might have been. We sometimes think, then curse the
 follies
 Of youthful days and by-gone years. Regrets bring no surcease of sorrow, Though bathed in penitential tears. In days now past, in halls of congress, Or marts of trade we thought to win, Renown and wealth no longer lure Us To noble deeds that might have been. The sun is sinking to the west-lani. This earthly journey Will soon De run. The past is strewn with broken idols And kindly deeds we might have done. Then oft when sitting musing lonely Memory takes me back again To the home 1 loved in childhood Life crowned with joys, devoid Of plin. To every one the glass of fortune Is cne time held, full to the rim. Refuse the draught, the future answers With stranded wrecks of might have
 been.
 And ever on the tide of ocean Drift shattered barques of strife and
 sin,
 While winter winds in piteous accent: Chant requiems Ut might have been" :"

Richest Man Iii America.

The richest man in all the world to- day is an American miner. He has made every dollar he is worth working American mines. He is not yet much past the prime of life, and he was elect ed to the United States senate from Montana only few months ago. His name is William A. Clark. He went to the Rocky mountains about thirty five years ago, with no other capital than good health and pretty fair ed ucation. and today he is the richest man in all the world-has more wealth than any other individual in all the world has ever possessed-has so much wealth that the ROthschilds, the Van derbilts and the Carnegies s poor men compared with him. He made his great wealth in Montana, but it is the United Verde mine of Arizona that constitutes the bulk of his fortune. It is claimed to represent a calculable gross value today exceeding five bill lions.-The National Banker.
