A SPECIAL OCCASION.
A Birthday Party That Deserves More
 Than Passing Mention.

I Space is precious in the Reeview
 but Dr. Lindstran's birthday party | must not be over looked Last Sun- day from the rising of the sun to the setting thereof. Doc celebrated his 53rd anniversary, though he doesn't look more than 2S. The Queen com pany presented the doctor with an ample lot, just above Castle rock. in view of the eminent services and the assurances that the doctor would build and maybe he didn't. Every eligible bear grass widow in he country has been crazy after the doctor. since that elegant 7room cottage was completed Last Sunday a large brigade headed by Charley Clawson, gathered to dis pose of the splendid line of refresh Turkey, chicken, stock fish. oh, every thing good to eat, and evrything good to wash 1t down with. At D. m. a fine American flag, a present from MT. Charles Clawson to the doctor. was hoisted by "Mescal' on a 30-foot pole and every one present threw kiss at it as it went up. c. H. Christian sen was master of ceremonies for the rest of the day. Mrs. Olson, Mrs. San ders and Mrs Arenson brought their hubbies along. fired the proprietor out and took possession of the kitchen. which was a luck circumstance for the guests Master John Sanders, who was in the 4th of July kids drilling contest, handled the tray to perfection. Then came MT. and Mrs. Young with their charming little daughters. Along with MT. Bergquist and interest ing family, MT. Eahgelin, c. o. Melha- gen and Mir Witterell.
 The doctors residence is a jewel case with no jewel in it, but his many friends in Bisbee predict that that little detail will be supplied before frost flies, on which occasion we will all gather back for refreshments and congratulations at his beautiful resi- dence on Tombstone avenue.

DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT
Secretary of the Territorial Central Con-
 mittee Does Not ConCede a County.

the hearty support of the territorial central committee. It is something that every democrat should take au interest in. I have always found that during campaigns the most effective work is done by democratic clubs, who keep everlastingly pounding upon the breastworks of the enemy.
 We have heard with much satisfac- tion of the organization of democratic clubs in different parts of the terri tory and are looking to them to do much of the work that must be accom- p11shed They will prove the agents of a great deal of good for the cause of the party.
 Now is the time for every democrat to show of what kind of material he is made. We want democrats who are active workers, not only that success may be assured in this campaign. but because of another election that will follow soon after we get statehood. At that time we want to be able to present a solid front and carry every thing before us.
 Arizona is democratic and that is the way we want to keep it for all time to come. To do this the demo crats must stand shoulder to shoulder Our strength comes from the people and not from any of the corporate in fuences of the territory. This being the case we must be careful not to al low any apathy to get into our ranks A Arizona Democrat

The territorial central committee does not concede a single county in this territory to Robert E. Morrison, the republican candidate for congress" !" remarked F. H. Keddington, secre tary of the democratic territorial cen tral committee yesterday afternoon when asked how things were going in the political line.
 Though it is early in the campaign we have received authentic advices from conservative sources that give us good reason to believe that if the election was held tomorrow Colonel Wilson would have majority of not less than two thousand votes.
 There never has been time when the party in this territory was as har' monious as it is in this campaign. All of the leaders of the party are in the field and are working hard for tn sue cess of the county and territorial tick cts.
 "At this time I would like to urge the democrats of every city an pre- cinct in the territory to form demo cratic clubs and take charge of the campaign in their locality. It will as- sist us materially in handling the campaign, and give us the largest ma jority that has ever been piled up for a candidate for congrss in Arizona
 "If two or more democrats in each of the larger cities will call a meet ing and organize a club they will have

Steel Trust Earned s111,oe7, 1875.

New York April 2.-The directors of
| the United States Steel Corporation, in
quarterly meeting here yesterday, gave
formal approval to the conversion plan
under which it is proposed to retire
preferred stock to the amount of $780,
100000 upon which dividends are paid
at the rate of per cent per annum and
Issue bonds to total of $250,000,000
/ With interest at per cent. May 10 was
/ fixed as the date upon which the pro-
tect will be submitted to the sharehold-
ers. The directors also issued state
ment showing that the earnings of the
corporation for the first year of it's ex-
istence, which ended on March 81, with
the last month estimated, reached
$111,067.195. Before the meeting of the
directors the executive and finance
committees were in session, and the ex-
ecutive committee as well as the gem
eral board of directors unanimously
approved the conversion plan. Former
Judge e. HI. Gary, chairman of the
board, stated that the extra $50,0O0,000
of bonds above the $a00,000,OO0 to be
used for retirement of preferred stock
would give the corporation a working
capital of about $106,000000 to be used
in any way that the directors might see
fit. He would not say that this implied
the acquisition of any new plants. The
legal advisers of the corporation laid
special stress on the point that no pre-
ferred stock would be retired without
the consent of the holders. This, they
said. would remove any impression that
the retirement of the preferred stock
for new bonds would be compulsory
The directors voted the usual dividends
at the rate of per cent on the prefer
red stock and 4 per cent on the common
stock. The statement of net earnings
showed that the record by months was
as follows: April s7.s56,744; May, 3d.

but over the greater part of the central
and east gulf states was unfavorable,
largely on account of excessive rains.
Turnout the central and east gulf
states farm work is from two to three
weeks late, and in many sections much
land has been badly washed. On the
Pacific coast the season is generally
backward.
There has been very general and In
some sections marked improvement
in the condition of winter wheat in the
states of the central valleys, altho much
OF the late sown is in poor condition
and some will be plowed up for other
crops. The cool weather on the Pacific
coast has retarded the growth of win
ter wheat.
Dat seeding is well advanced in the
states of the Missouri valley, and is
progressing in the Ohio valley and
middle Atlantic states. Fall sown oats
in the southern states have been winter
killed to great extent.
Corn planting has begun as far north
as Kansas and Missouri, and prepara-
tons for planting are in progress far
Their north.
In Texas the bulk of the corn crop
has been planted. and some is being
cultivated. Considerable planting has
also been done in the central and east
ern gulf and south Atlantic states.

a small early market May dipped mo-
mentarily to 71A but soon advanced to

May was bought rather literally lat
er in the session, especially by the
crowd that has been heavily scalping
July corn. This, together with efforts
of the local crowd to push the prices
up advanced May to 72s. The close was
firm. Z@% up at 70.
Corn started in today where 1t left
off Monday. Cables were higher than
yesterday, but lower than Monday. No
large orders were executed early There
was something of better feeling, but
prices We're steady May opened UNI
changed to u higher at 60s @60ss, Dip
ped to so and steadied at 60A.
Corn continued quiet and f1uctuated
very narrowly. Cash sales We're good,
and May closed firm, ss higher al 60la.
Oats were dull and narrow early.
May opened unchanged at AZ and fiuc-
tuated between that price and 42A.
There was another upturn in provis-
ions at the opening today. Early hog
prices at the yards improved, but grad
ually sagged off as the market grew
dull. There was renewed short covering
and also some demand.
