PARTIAL IDENTIFICATION.
Remains of the Unknown Suicide Near
 Sellgman.

Joe Burke, who has been visiting friends in Williams, informs us that sheepherder in the employ of Capt. Smith, found the body of a man a short distance from Seligman yester- day morning. The body was reduced to a skeleton and identification was impossible. In the clothes was found $500 in gold, some silver and currency, but nothing that would lead to the identity of the remains. The hat found near the body con- tained the name of a mercantile firm at The Dalles, Oregon. A bullet hole in the skull and revolver beside the corpse told the tale of the snuffing out of this life. About three months ago a stranger left two grips at the Harvey house at Seligman and stated that he was going out a short distance and would soon return. He never came back and it was supposed that the grewsome find was the body of this man. The same day sheep herder for Skinny Welch found the body of another man several miles from Seligman and party had been sent out to make an investigation.

DESIGNATED A CHURCH. AN UNUSUAL ACT OF A DRUNK EN AND PILFEROUS MEXICAN. He Enters the Church of the Sacred Heart and Robs it of its Devo-
 ted Emblems

If there is anything more des- picable or degenerating than that of entering a sacred edifice of worshipin a beastly state of intoxication and re- sorting to the pilfering of the same of the worshipful emblems therein, we do not know.
 This was done, however, by Jose Marina, a Mexican. Last night he violently entered the church of the Sacred Heart, catholic, in this city, and proceeded to desecrate it. He was just drunk enough to know what he was doing, but too drunk however to retrace his steps to the front door, and in this beastly state he was found this morning by one of the sisters of St. Joseph, lying on the sacred altar.
 To make his crime all the more disgusting, he had in his pockets various articles belonging to the ritual of the holy service, in fact he so demoralized the arrangement of the emblems in daily use as to lead one to believe that he had a knowl- edge of his heinous purpose.
 Today he is in the county jail. Tomorrow, even if it is a holy day, he should be made to know the pen alty of his crime. He should be sent to Yuma in quick haste, as any man in this day of divine progress that will attempt to rob even a church of the rights and regards due it like Marina did, should suffer warmly.

It is the latest and and most improved pro- cess and places in the pipes for dis tribution clear pure gas which can be used for cooking, heating and also lighting. The pure nature of the gas produces light in each jet from twenty to twenty-eight candle power giving brilliant yet mellow light.
 The price at which this gas is to be delivered is one that places this product within reach of every one and making an estimated reduction in the cost of fuel, wood or coal at present prices of at least one-third.

CLOSED DOWN THE WORKS.
The Great Old Dominion Mine at Globe
 Is Idle.

There are many late arrivals in this section from Globe, mostly miners. They state that the Old Dominion com pany has closed the entire works for an indefinite period. The reasons given are the low price of copper and the exorbitant rates in transportation on the railroad.
 Many of the miners who are here today state that there is an over- abundance of labor in southern Ari- zona, especially in that of the mining profession, and that there is also a general belief that considerable fric- tion will be experienced sooner or later between the union laborer and the corporate interests. There is nc political consideration whatever given the controversy in those sections al present and the association of either of the two parties with the problem other than that of personal nature is not to be considered.

FUEL AND LlGHT TALK.
Mr. Porter and His Gas Franchise
 Plainly Put to the Public.

To the Citizens of Prescott:
 The question of fuel is one of vast importance in Prescott.
 Wood is scarce, coal is high and as yet crude oil is in the experimental stage. The natural solution to the problem is gas.
 I have come to your city with a view of securing your cooperation in placing within its limits a plant, first class in every respect, for the manu- facture of gas from crude oil. It

JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS.

Readers of the New York Herald,
New York World and New York
American and Journal must have been
gratitied on Tuesday morning when
they read in the headlines of those pa
pers that the coal strike had been set
tied. The Herald's announcement was
as follows: Goal strike ended by
President Roosevelt" The American
and Journal said: 1.-THE Presi-
dent decides to press criminal pro-
ceedings. This ends strike in miners
favor" The World said: Coal strike
is settled
As far as the world knows the strike
is not yet settled. The foregoing pa
pers, in their anxiety to get ahead
of their contemporaries in giving news
in regard to the coal strike, made
statements that are not sustained by
the facts. They had nothing on which
to base a statement that the strike
had been settled. All they knew was
that the coal operators had proposed
the appointment by the President of
a commission to pass upon the demands

know the conditions attached to the
proposition. They did not know that
the miners would accept the PROPOSE
ton, but they did know that there
could be no settlement unless the min
ers did accept it.
1t is apparent that the papers pub
fishing an announcement that the
strike had been settled cared more for
the chance to make a sensational state
ment than they did to inform their
readers of the actual facts.
And that is the fault of too many
Of the newspapers of the day. They
do not seem to care for the truth.
What they want is sensational stories.
In their effort to get them they sacri-
flee truth.
1t is probable that in their later edi-
tons, if they published later editions,
they told their readers that the strike
had not been settled, but that the coal
operators had submitted a proposition
which might be the basis of a settle
ment.
The terms of the proposition sub
mitted by the coal operators were not
made public until long after midnight.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Cnd) says: Secretary Moody seems
to be surprised over the sneaking and
cowardly manner in which the 81
cents ton duty was struggled into
the tariff act This argues a poor ac-
quaintance on his part with our tariff
law. good deal of it was made up
in exactly the manner in which the
coal duty was secured"
The Philadelphia Record Oem.)
says: "The anthracite strikers have
not labored altogether in vain. They
have convinced the leaders of the Re
publican party of the necessity of re-
pealing the tariff duty of 81 cents per
ton on coal. The unwisdom of erecting
barriers against the Importation of coal
being conceded, Congress may con-
clude to go further and give us untaxed
wood, hides, lumber, iron ore, cattle
and other products of the field, the
mines and the shops. If not, why
not?' sem ~
The Mobile Register Dem) says:
Northern writers and politicians have
for some time past filled much space
in print in attacking child labor IN the
South. AS a social problem, the South
Will in time settle it satisfactorily. But
the feature of this sudden moral up
heaval up North has not come from
any sympathy entertained for the
white children of the South, but from
the fact that the Southern cotton mill
industry is injuring the profit making
of the Northern mill industry. 1t is
simply question of ox-goring and not
humanity, that is the cause of this ex-
cessive interest in the children of the
South"
The New York Evening Post Qnd.)
says: 'If Secretary Shaw's direction
to collectors to facilitate in every way
the importation of coal means, as is
broadly limited, that the legal duties
will be waived, we have a still more
alarming example than was his sus-
pension of the bank-reserve rule, of
multiplying the law by executive inter-
lower opinion of the tariff on coal than
we do. 1t is unnecessary, vexing. fool
ish. 1t is one of the most hateful in
stances of protectionist greed. But
there it stands in the law, and, until
repealed, must be enforced. Winkfng
at an evasion of it would bring both
the law and the Secretary into con-
tempt. We were going to say that it
would bring the whole protective policy
into contempt, bat that work is, at
present one of the purest supereroga-
ton. We do not remember the time
when protection was in such disgrace,
even in tha house of its friends"

Gen. Booths return to the United

at dinner the other day to tell a story.
says the New York Sun.
When Gen. Booth first came to this
country a good many years ago." he
said, Il entertained him over night. He
went to bed early and put out his
boots
Il knew what that meant, and as 1
had no servant whom I could ask to

them myself

in the presence of Ballington Booth.

what I would not have done for the
Prince of Wales and the son jumped
up and kissed me-"
That" said another man present,
reminds me of three other true stories
of Britons and their boots in this coun-
try, and they all illustrate how slow
the Briton is to suspect the existence
of other customs than those he has
been brought up to.
"a clergyman of the Episcopal
Church, entertaining a young English
man, discovered his guests boots out
side the door after the guest had gone
TO bed, and being unwilling to ask his
maid servant to black them, very
quietly carried them to his own room,
and while his wife looked on, laugh
ingly, blackened them with great care.
Furthermore, he kept them up for the
week of the guests stay without being
detected.
"A titled Englishman of science visit
ed a rural university in Pennsylvania
and was entertained, with his wife, at
the house of the president, where, as
was not unusual, there was no servant
at all.
''The next morning the titled gentle
mans boots were found outside his
door, and he poked his head out long
enough to say that as his wife was not
very well she would like to have break

Bad Boy Met His EQUAL.

Boys in school nowadays have an
easy time of it compared with their

how bad he used to be as an urchin,
according to the Detroit Free Press.
Really, l believe that boys must be
much better in this age than when
l was one. You coldn't teach school
then without using corporal punish
ment-no, stree! l used to get whipped
at school regularly every other day at

such a brutal man, either; but that
was the ancient method of making I'M
>ruly boys intellectually submissive and
receptive.

then, too and my poor father and
mother gave me up in despair. They
couldn't manage me, and had to ad-
init it, Also, they told my teacher. a
powerful, strapping, black-eyed New
Highlander, that he could do with me
as he choose-anything to break up
my truant habits, and make me study
well sir, that determined man set
to work on me. When l didn't ap-
pear at school he would start out after
school and hunt me up. How he found
out my haunts l can't tell, but he gen.
orally caught up with me. Once col

he took me to the school house and
kept me there nearly all night, study
ing and reciting the lessons l had miss
ed. We had candle light, and he had
plenty of red apples in his big. heavy
lidded desk. He said a boy wouldn't
starve on good apples.
AT other times he would take me
to his home, and there l would have
to study nearly all night Still l played
hockey occasionally; and my teacher
finally told me that he was going to
have me hauled to school on a dray
