Ambitious Politicians ot Nogaies, Ari- xons, Plotting to Establish a New
 Republic.

fish new republic radiatei around a justice court in Nogales, Arizona, October 7th, 1902.
 The following is the preamble to their constitution:
 We, the people of the Republic of Bull Dog, in order to form more perfect union, so as not to be inter- fered with by any other nation, establish injustice, insure domestic turmoil, provide for the common defense of politicians, promote their general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to them and their successors, do ordain and establish this constitution for the Republic of Bull Dog.
 Such is the constitution of this embryo republic to be established in the interests of a few dema- gogues.
 The principal speaker at this meeting was a man whose fine per- sonal appearance and ability and "corroberating" eloquence and love of justice indicated most remark. able man.
 The following is synopsis of their plan:
 1st. Secure portion of Sonora, Mexico; 2nd annex Santa Cruz county, Arizona.
 Their first step is to organize an army and invade Mexico, and com pei the Mexican government to cede Q portion of it's territory to the newly established republic. They assert that Diaz is getting old, and as they have had remarkable success in subjugating the aged they have every confidence of suc- cess.
 Having accomplished this, their victorious army will invade the United States. Their idea is that having whipped Mexico it will be small matter to whip the United States.
 Some dispute has arisen concern ing the commandership of this army. The two principal contest ants for this important position finally decided to settle thls ques- tion by fighting a duel.
 They are meeting with numer- ous obstacles in the formation of this republic, for the req son that all are affected with an intense love for office-a disease once had difficult of elimin- ation. But the honorable, intelli- gent, strong and experienced ones will ultimately triumph over the weak. Their motto is: No obstacle, however great, shall stand in the way of accomplishing their ends, i or in other words, no justice or mercy shall be shown anyone, pro- ! vided it affects their personal wei fare.
 Having been one of the principal witnesses at this meeting, though l am not affected with the disease of office seeking, can positively cer- tify that they are not at all slow in executing their motto in order to effect their ends. The rapidity with which they mete out justice CD to the antagonistic, is simply miracul- ous.
 The material they possess to assist them in the execution of their duties is ample.
 The old saying is "a place for every person and q person for every place" was amply illustrated at this memorable meeting.
 It is not likely that their scheme of establishing new republic will prove successful, as many of the

Indians War Record.

Indiana's battle record during the
war for the Union comprised total
of 30S engagements. which took place
in sixteen states and one territory.
One of these states was Indiana.
which was thrice invaded by the Con-
federates. The first invasion of this
state or any OF the free states by an
armed and organized force of rebels
occurred at Newburg, Warrick coun-
ty. on the Ohio river. fifteen miles
above Evansville. on July IS. 1862.
The force consisted of but thirty-two
officers and men, under Adam r. John,
son, whose object was plumber. The
conduct of these raiders was that OF
thieves rather than soldiers. They
ransacked the town and returned FIVE
hours after their landing to Kentucky.
The second raid was that of a com.
pany of Kentucky cavalry. under Cap
tain Thomas H. Hines, belonging to
Gen. John H. Morgan's division. This
force, So men, entered the state on
June II. 1853, IS miles above Camel
ton. for the purpose of picking up
fresh horses. All except Hines and
tive of his men were captured. The
third invasion was by Gen. John II.
Morgan, with about 1900 men, July
8, 1868, crossing the Ohio from Bran,
nenburg Ky.

You went away;
Though spring. a chill was in the air,
The sky was gray.
The earth before that sad, sad time
Had scattered light
And left the fragrant meadows green
In but night.
But on the day you went dear Heart,
breath of snow
Fell from the whitening beard of time
A sudden woe
Withered the Joy within my life
And left II gray.
And made me old with sadness, when
You went away.

she will get her name in the news
papers, and her dresses will be des-
wife at the last charity ball. Alas for
her establishment! She learns that
while congressman may be a very
big man in his district, he is a very
small man in Washington until he has
established his right to be regarded
as above the average. If he has money
and tact he may soon attract attention
and cross the golden boundary; or il
he has no money, but much ability.
he will reach his destination by an
other route; but IL he has neither one
nor the other, II he is simply an ordi-
nary member of congress, very fair
specimen of middle class common
place intelligence. the social recogni-
ton for which his wife signs will
never be hers. The wives OF senators
from her state will return her call. she
may be invited to a tea. even to din
ner at the flag end of the season. but
that will be the limit of her insight

is this: why does olive oil cost so

France. The demand in the United
States for choice olive oil Is constant

is still so high?-New York Tribune.
