ONE WILDCAT LESS.
AN ARIZ0NN MINING FAkER RUN
 DOWN IN KANSAS CITY.
He Had a Big Bonanza on Paper to
 Allure the Unsophiseated.

An Associated Press dispatch from Kansas City on Saturday says:
 Theodore Stegner, an Arizona min ing promoter, has been indicted by the federal grand jury at Kansas City for fraudulent use of the mails. His arrest and indictment is the re- suit of an investigation conducted in this territory by Special Post Office Inspector E. L. Mckee.
 It is further charged that Stegner sent letters to the Richmonds in which he made this statement: "We have started shipping copper and will soon be shipping oil" when he knew, says the indictment, that the property was not producing. Other letters giving glowing reports about the conditions in this territory were written by Stegner from time to time.
 In the correspondence which went through the mails 1t was claimed that the company owned several min ing properties in the counties of Yuma and Mohave and the names of the properties were given. It turned out though that only one of the claims was actually owned by the company.
 This is but the beginning of the official roofing that will follow the administrations career to weed out the high handed methods of vicious and selfish promoters, who have nothing to- show the innocent pur- chaser, and much less to give. It may temporarily create little un- easiness among those of a skeptical nature over Arizona mining ventures, but when afew convictions are had, mining, especially in this section of Arizona will be more rightfully re- garded and prosper more materially than ever before. Men who mine exclusively on paper will soon be few and far between.
 In connection with the curse that Arizona must be burdened with in the floating of these fakes. one indis- putable fact must be mentioned to relieve us of any association to these shady transactions, and it is that every illegetimate transaction like the above is conducted by sharks who are non-residents of Arizona. This act should be we'll borne in mind by the public of the east; where mine has a bonafide Arizona backing in personal representation, it can gen orally be weighed as legetiment.

FLAMING TORCH
 OF VENGEANCE
A K1u Klux Circular is Before the Prescott Community on the Old Time United Verde Tax Evil.
The Thunder of the 0regon's Big Guns IS Silenced by the Wrath of an
 Anonymous Remedy.

If box of dynamite had been ex- ploded on the plaza today at noon it could not have stampeded the com munity any more than simple slip of printed matter did that was re- beived by many Prescott people yes terday and today.
 It was issued by no one that we know of and signed by no one. Neither was it printed in Prescott, as the lear marks" in type, makeup and paper quality plainly show.
 It states that Supervisor Dumas has been ''seen" by H. J. Alien of Jerome to the tune of S2,0O0, and that the second member, presumably J. R. Beatson, has also been ''fixed" on the United Verde assessment raise.
 The circular is ''rich, rare- Hand racy." and deals in a generality of accusations like the late democratic county platform did when 1t prom ised the poor people if we would send them through the ballot box trium- phaEtly.
 It seems to be a democratic TOW, on tax matters, the United Verde being the political instrument that elected the present board, that Is entirely democratic in its makeup. It's a family row.
 Dynamite, tar and feathers, Paul Revere signals from the church steeple end all kinds of warnings tell us that the Apaches are coming, like Geronimo of old did in Arizona, with mask on, and behind it all, the live 'critter" is the old time United Verde company again threat ening to do" us-or has done so. We'll wait and see.
 The circular is vehemently con- demned because of its anonymous character. If it is a fact, why does not its author show as much honor as he accuses these people of being dis honorable. and go before the people full faced and without a mask on.

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-Corporal Perrin and Private Milan were mys- teriously assaulted at the Presidio last nig ght. Perrin died and Milan Is not expected to recover. The authori- ties have been unable to find any trace oi the assailaDts. Both men were struck on the head by some blunt instrument. Comrades of both men believe the assault to be the re- suit of grudge of two enemies.
 Rochester. N. T., Nov. 1s.-Miss Florence McFarlan, 2l years of age, was stabbed to oeath in her fathers house to day by another woman An hour later Mrs. Lulu Young, the wife of Frank Young was arrested charged with the crime. Miss Mcfarland answered the door bell and the woman attacked her with a knife. She ran to the kitchen pursued by her assailant. In the kitchen she stumbled, when her pursuer was upon her. stabbing her five times. The girl fell and died immediately. The murdress then fled. The murdress is said to have stated that the dead girl had come between her and her husband. Miss Mcfarland was girl of refinement and good appear ance and was said to be infatuated with Young. The husband refuses to say anything The murderess is prostrated and is constantly murmur- ing the name of the woman killed. The affair has created a sensation, Miss McFarlan being we'll known in society circles and the Youngs being prominently connected and socially we'll regarded.
 Salt Lake, Nov. 1s.-A strong min isterial alliance has been perfected in this city and state to fight against the election of Apostle Reid Shoot to the United States Senate when the legislature convenes. The fight will be similar to that conducted against Congressman Roberts. Rev. Shoot is a bishop of the Mormon church and the ministry say if they are unsuccessful they will carry the matter to the United States senate.
 Considerable comment is heard in political circles, but the universal verdict is that MT. Smooth will be elected and supported for the othce afteward.

THE SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE SENATE ARRIVE FROM NEW MEXICO ON THEIR MISSION or INVESTIGATION.
They are Impressed With This City and Earnestly Inquire into Our Industrial Resources.
They Left at Noon for the Congress Mine and the Capital City-Be- lief That Their Report Will be Favorable to Arizona's Admis- sion.

Senators A. J. Beveridge of IRdi- anna, w. P. Dillingham; of Vermont Henry Heitfeld of Idaho, and H. E. Burhham of New Hampshire, arrived in Prescott yesterday afternoon.
 Their coming was entirely unex. pected, for on leaving Albuquerque Sunday morning, their itinerary was changed from that point to the Santa Fe instead of southern New Mexico, and the Grand canyon was thelr ob- jective point. On arriving at Will Hams, through some oversight or misunderstanding in passage to the canyon, no arrangements had been made for the trip or their accommo- dation. Accordingly they came direct to Ash Fork, and until F. M. Murphy had been advised by tele- gram in Prescott of their arrival at that point no one in Prescott knew of their coming. With his characteris- tic energy and consideration for the personal welfare of these prominent people in this and many other similar movements in the past, an engine and car at Ash Fork of the regular train was placed at their disposal and they arrived in Prescott in daylight. In this respect of an S. F., P. & P. cour- tesy being extended at the right time and also at the right place, it is to be hoped that the partisan press will not in the future link this act of kindness and consideration by Mir. Murphy to the sentiment that pre- vailed when the late President Me Kinley and others were supposed to have been Murphyized when Yavapai was touched in that memorable jour ney. Senator Beveridge and every one of his associates together with all of the attaches of the commission keenly appreciated this courtesy, and so expressed themselves.

OFFICIAL DUTIES.

This morning for about two hours, il executive session, they heard the testimony of many people on various matters. Judge Sloan was called on matters affecting the judiciary, and for the first time he was on the stand as a witness instead of a judge. He was sidetracked also on our general commercial interests, giving valuable information.
 Ex-Governor Tritle, as the super visor of the late census, was called on matters affecting popula'iony d. J. Sanders, a census enumerator, also furnished the commission valuable data in the methods and hardships of that work. Others whose names could not be learned, gave valuable data affecting this section.
 Concerning what would be their report on New Mexico, so far as looked into, no intimation would by them be expressed. Neither would they state what would he the verdict on Arizona, until after they had sub mitted their report to the senate com mittees on territories. They are as sisted by two clerks, two stenogra phers and an interpreter, but the lat ter had nothing to do in Prescott in his line, as the straight American goods language Is the only article we handle here on any and all occasions when a person comes along, whether from New Hampshire or Idaho.
 OFF FOR THE SOUTH. A special train was agaIn placed al their disposal this morning and at II o'clock they resumed their journey tc the south. They will go direct tc Congress and two hours will be spent at that great mining camp. from whence they will proceed to Phenix They will remain but twenty-foul hours at the capitol, and then re trace their steps through New Mexi co, and visit a few places in the. south of that section. Oklahoma will be visited on the return trip homeward when committee report will follow to be submitted to congress.

A NEW CARD GAME.
A Sure Thing and only Costs $50 to

Clyde Williams. a confding youth,
who has been working on a ranch eight
miles west OF Purcell, |. r., was among
the visitors in Oklahoma City yester-
day. After looking at the tall build
ing all day, watching the movements
of the Salvation Army and witnessing
many other sights both novel and in
teresting to a novice from the cattle
country, finally wound up at the Santa
Fe depot at 10 o'clock last night.
where he made the acquaintance OF a
young man who appeared to be quite
genial.
In fact they become good friends In
short order. Presently another young
fellow came up. who appeared to know
Williams new found friend, and offer
ed to sell him brand new deck OF
cards, which he exhibited, but they
failed TO make a trade, when he turn
ed and walked away. and at the same
time dropping one OF the cards, but ap-
parently not noticing It. Williams,
friend picked up the card and placing
II in his pocket, said; "Now, let's
have some fun" He then called the
other fellow back and soon secured
a wager that there were SO cards in
the deck.
That's easy" conAded the friend
to Williams, with a nudge Of his ell
bow, '1et me have some money and |
will clean him up"
The fellow produced a pocketbook
which he said contained $50 and VIII.
liams counted out similar amount
and handed It to his friend.
The other fellow counted his cards
and, strange to say, there proved to
be full deck of SO cards. He pulled
in the stakes and walker away.
The friend started TO catch the dis.
appearing winner and both disappear.

have not since been seen.
The boy from the ranch departed for
Purcell on the midnight train sad at
heart but enriched by sparkling bit
OF experience --oklahoman.

Accurate Delay.

Many stories are told of the lack of
punctuality upon railroads in the
southern states. 1t is said that when
New England man found his train,
advertised to leave at IL o'clock,
starting at exactly that hour, he com
plimented the conductor.
"Just on time. l see.' he said, geni.
ally. "All this talk I've heard of the
lateness of your trains is without
foundation, I've no doubt"
The conductor smiled at him
gently.
This train, sir" said he, without
a trace of embarrassment, sis not to-
days eleven o'clock train, sir. 1t is
yesterdays eleven O'Clock. To-day's
will probably not get here from way
down until tomorrow, sir"

were a baptism, a wedding and a

upon the Rev. Annie Ford Eastman,

a success of the calling.

Vegetation on Rome,s Monunoe nts

The monuments of Rome are now
under observation, not only by foreign
ers, but by the Italian government. 1t
has been discovered that parasitic
plants grow at the top of N ost of the
Roman monuments. At the top of the
white marble column in the center of
the Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore
there was till few days ago thriv-
ing plant of a wild fig tree. 1t was
beginning to eat away one of the top
most ornaments of the column. But
it has now been removed. Twelve
figs were found on the plant The
monument is now under repair. The
affair has caused quite little tlutter
and the Piazza has been crowded with
people to watch the uprooting process.
This column is the only one left of
Constantine's first church in Rome.

GREW ON THE SABBATH.
Little Girl Feared Plants Might Be at
Fault,

John Philip Sousa sat listening the
other evening to the history of the
pier, now called the Steeplechase, on
which he is playing his Atlantic City
engagement. Among other things
he was told of the fuss that resulted
when the authorities there fined a
manager for giving Sunday per-
formance two years ago, although
Sunday is the day when the crowd
of visitors and amusement seekers is
the largest.
Incidents of the kind" said Sousa,
always recall to me the story of a
little country girl who, very early one
Monday morning, took a basket of
freshly picked, dew-glistening rasp-
berries to her familys minister. He
was delighted. and said SO; but he
added, doubtfully:
'Er-I hope you didn't pick them
yesterday-the Sabbath-my child?"
"'Oh, no, sir-this morning!" she
hastily said. But her face grew seri-
