YUMA KILLING
A Man Seeking His Wife Is Shot by
 Another Man.

The Republicans Yuma correspond ent. under date of August 31. writes that the measer details of a killing have become known in that town by the murderer giving himself up to the sheriff.
 The trouble occurred at the dredger camp on the Ludy canal. about five miles below the city, on Sunday morn- ing. The exact particulars are hard to get. but it seems that a man named John Kelly fatally shot another man. named Womack. Womack and his wife had separated, and Mrs. Womack se- cured employment at the camp as a cook. Womack did not take kindly to this arrangement made by his wife and followed her to the camp during the absence of MT. Ludy. He raised a dis turbance with his wife, and others took a hand in the quarrel. Kelly inter- ested himself to the extent Of fatally shooting Womack, and after the deed he went to Yuma and surrendered to the authorities.
 Kelly created a disturbance at the same camp less than year ago. and cleared out the camp with shotgun. He was arrested and fined on that oc- casion Both the dead man and his slayer are said to be quarrelsOme.

LABOR DAY EVENTS
Hundreds of People Attend the Sports
 at East Lake Park.

In accordance with an established custom and by virtue of proclamation of the governor, Labor day was ob- served in the city yesterday by em- ployer and employe taking a day of rest from tCil and business cares. Most of the business houses closed at noon, but a few remained open the entire day. Shortly after noon the city pre- sented a regular Sunday appearance, and by o'clock the crowded condition of the street cars testified that the ma jority of the people were going to make the best of the vacation by enjoying themselves.
 The only holiday events took place at the park, under the direction of Man ager Stechan, who has labored for sev- eral days to present an entertaining programme for the benefit of the peo- pie. The programme consisted of games of all kinds and dancing in the pavilion. There were no regular en- tries for any of the events, and nobody trained for any of the races. Owing to the warmth, very few got up suffi- cient energy to try for any of the prizes. The aquatic sports consisted of boat races, both single and double and tub races, but in the latter event the persons who entered the race were too large for the tubs, and their efforts were consistently devoted to getting into them. However, their fruItless efforts afforded much amusement for the crowd, and no one kicked at their failure to keep the tubs right side up. There was a boat race with three double entries. but on the start two of the boats became fouled, and despite frantic efforts to separate them the re- maining beat was half way around the lake before they were free. Though the first boat had the race almost won, the others pulled desperately to push ahead, but it was no use, and the rowers got themselves in a sweat with out any hopes of winning.
 Those who did not watch the vari- ous sports passed the time dancing in the pavilion, the music being furnished by the Indian school band.
 During the day several hundred peo- pie attended the sports, and the street car service was taxed to the utmost to handle the crowd. Several persons waited for an hour on the street cor rers for a car, but they had to give up their hopes of reaching the park, for every car was packed with people.
 The days events were concluded by grand ball in the pavilion last night, which was also we'll attended.

LOCKED IN A CAR
Thrilling Experience of a Young
 Man in a Boxcar.

Yesterday morning there arrived in the city on the south bound train a young man who gave his name as Frank Darlington, and who claims to have had a novel experience. His emaCiated appearance bore out the truth of the story he related. He says that on the 18th of August he was in Boston, having been discharged from hardware house. He had only few dollars in his possession and wanted to try his fortune in the west He could not purchase a ticket, so he de- termined to make his way by stealing rides. The house he had been en- ployed in was making a shipment for Les Angeles. and one of the men em- ployed in loading the car persuaded him to be locked in the car. and said he would be let out when the car got to its destination.
 He secured few bottles of water and some provisions, and when the op- portunity presented he sneaked into the car with his provisions, and the workmen carefully made space for him in the car. In a few days his water and provisions were exhausted, but he held out. thinking that the car would reach it's destination in a short time. The car was side tracked several places

along the road, but he was afraid to would be arrested. He could keep no track of the days in the darkness. but he says that he thought he must have been on the road a month, until he was released. Sunday morning he woke from a sleep to find the car at a standstill, and as he was so weak from want of food and almost fam ished for water he determined to call fer assistance at all hazards.
 He yelled at the top of his voice and pounded on the side Of the car for some time. until finally he heard some one fumbling at the car door.
 In d minute the door was opened and trainman looked in and asked who was inside. Darlington made himself known and managed to scramble out, but fell down as soon as he got out side. His limbs were cramped from his long ride. and being almost starved. the trainmen that gathered around pitied his condition, and instead of having him arrested, placed him in caboose until he was in condition to take care of himself.
 CarrinGtCn found that the station where his car was shunted was Mar icopa, the car having been cut out from the train on account of some damage to one of the trucks As Los Angeles was a long way off, Darlington came to this city to recuperate before trying to cover the remaining distance of his journey. but he says that he would not go through the same expe- rience for a fortune.

TU CsoN CONVENTION
Large Flight of Democrats South
 Last Night.

The hegira of democratic delegates from the northern part of the territory to the Tucson convention has begun. Quite flight of them from the north erh counties passed this point yester- day, and coaxed away several of the local CT domestic members last night.
 Among those from the north were Es E.. Ellinwood of Yavapai county, H. F. Ashurst and George w. Glowner from Coconino, Dr. Whiteside and F. w. Ferguson from Mohave. They are all Wilson men. Colonel Wilson himself arrived from Prescott and went on south last night.
 A meeting of the delegation from this county was held at the city hall yesterday afternoon, what for, no one knows, unless it was to further solidify themselves for Colonel Wilson and to take additional precaution against the wiles of his enemies. They seemed to think that the battle may not yet be over, for there Is no telling what may be concealed in the sleeves of the Shan non men. however empty they may seem to be.
 About dozen of the local delegates left for Tucson last night and as many more will go tonight.
 There was some little apprehension created in the Wilson ranks by tel egram from Globe. printed in the En- terprise last night, in which it was stated that there had been reVulsion of sentiment in Gila county regarding Colonel Wilson, on account of his atti- tude in the Maricopa convention on the Tonto basin reservoir site, to which there is much opposition in GiIa conn ty. It was hinted in the dispatch that though the delegates from that county had been pledged to Colonel Wilson the change of sentiment might be strong enough to deprive him of their votes. It is not generally believed. though. that even if the delegation felt itself justified in disobeying it's instruc- tions, that it would cast a solid vote against Wilson, and he would need only three of the twelve members of the convention from that county. Besides. he feels reasonably sure of a part of the delegation from Pinal

SILK MADE BY CHEMISTRY.

Synthetics loom large even now, al- though it is true that attention has chiefly been turned to the synthesis of drugs. But there is no reason why equal success should not attend the ef- of food drink and clothing from their elements in the same way as mere chemical compounds have been con- structed. It is only a question of the
 growth of knowledge of the constitu-
 tion of matter. Already the synthesis of many articles of common daily occurrence has been effected. The aniline coloring matters are prac-
 tically synthetics; indigo and mad der are common products of the
 laboratory; and sugar and alcohol may
 be prepared from the elements which compose them.
 The latest achievement of the build ing chemist appears to be the artificial production of at any rate the most inn
 portant constituent of silk. Chemists have long known that the chief con- stituentS-insects' cocoons and spiders webs is an insoluble proteid. behav- ing very much in the same way as pro-
 teids in general. of which the albumins are types. Mulberry silk in particular consists of over 70 per cent of a, pro- teid substance termed fibroin. associ-
 ated with 22 per cent of a yellowish | transparent substance resembling gel atine in composition and character and known as sericin. These two albumin ous substances occur in silk with about | 3 per cent of wax and about a per cent
 of mineral matter It is siricin, how
 ever, or its derivative by hydrolosis, se- | rine, which has been successfully sym | ethized. and inasmuch as silk owes its
 peculiar and delightful character large
 ly to that substance, there is no doubt | that an important step toward the ar ! tificial manufacture of silk has been
 made.
 Day by day synthetics are forcing | themselves upon our notice, and are 1 threatening to take a place somewhere or other in mans ordinary routine. The
 question is still to be settled whether
 a synthetically or artificially prepared subStance-that is, one which is iden- l tical as far as can be judged with the | natural product-gives precisely the | same satisfactory results. Most peo- | p!e, we are sure, will confess so far | to sneaking preference for the thing | which nature takes time to elaborate
 rather than for the product conjured
 up, so to speak, in few hours in the | laboratory. But already it is getting
 difficult in some directions to obtain
 the natural article. It is so. at any
 rate. with indigo; and it is quite possi-
 ble that in the near future it will be no
 uncommon experience to hear in the shops a customer precise in his de-
 mand for either the synthetic or natur- l al article in accordance with his choice. The Lancet.

pin and Nat Crocumb of Patagonla reported to the sheriff's office by tele- phone from Washington Camp that they had been held up on the highway and robbed. Later in the evening they came to Nogales and gave the particu- lars of the hcld-up.
 The two gentlemen were going from Patagonia to Washington Camp in a buggy, and at a point on the road about three miles from the latter named place they were stopped by young man named Harry Whipple. well known to everybody in that part of the county, who was heavily armed, and demanded their money.
 Not quite comprehending the mean ing of the young man, Crepin said:
 "I have but little money with me, Harry, but if you need some come to Patagonia, and I will lend you all you want"
 II don't want to borrow, but I do want what you have with you. This is no joke. I mean business. Get out and deliver"
 The two men climbed out of the bug gy and delivered what money they had. amounting to $950 in the aggregate. The young highwayman proposed also to take their watches and chains, but they argued him out of that idea. While they were still on the ground, another team hove in sight down the road.
 Who's that coming up the road ?" asked the new road agent.
 That is Dick Farrel," was the reply.
 He is just the man I want to meet. Nothing would afford me greater pleas ure than to rob my old friend, Dick Farrel. You gentlemen get into your buggy and drive on, while I proceed to hold up MT. Farrel."
 The two men did as Whipple directed and shortly after they reached Wash ington Camp MT. Farrel came in and reported that Whipple had stopped and robbed him, but he did not make known the amount of his loss. It was afterward learned that he had been relieved of $S.50 and his gold watch

USED A KNIFE
A Mexican Undertakes tG Clean Out
 the Irvine Addition.

A half-bre Mexican, armed with a big carving knife. undertook to estab- fish himself sole monarch of the Irvine addition yesterday. In order to reach the proper pitch of courage, the indi- vidual, who did not give his name when arrested, first filled up on whisky and started the ball rolling by arming him. self with a carving knife and Chasing his wife out of the house. Her fleet ness Of foot was all that saved her from probably being killed The escape of his wife infuriated the drink crazed man, and he ran out of the house to seek another victim. He entered the house of another Mexican and the frightened inmates fled, all but a wom- an who was not swift enough to get out of the way.
 The woman fell down and waited for the blow to fall, but not without screaming for help. Strange to say, the blow never fell, for the Mexican contented himself with brandishing the weapon before her eyes and then kick ing her. After this performance he left the place and took possession of his own tenantless home. The fright ened neighbors telephoned for the po- lice, and Marshal Kinney and Officer Russell responded. Kinney was on foot and could not keep up with his com panion. When Russell arrived on the scene the Mexican stood on the thresh- old, waving his knife and threatening to make sausage meat out of the officer if he entered the house. Russell took in the situation and approached the man as closely as possible. The be- sieged man raised his knife as if about to strike, but before the arm descended the officer struck him a blow in the face that staggered him. The first blow was followed by another, and the second one landed the Mexi can across the room, and he fell over backwards behind d box in corner. By this time Marshal Kinney arrived on the scene, much winded, and be- tween the two officers the bad hombre was dragged out by the heels. The patrol was sent for. but on the way 60 the jail the Mexican fought furiously with his caDtors.

A RIVAL TO CARNEGIE.
Cash Awards to the People Instead Of
 Libraries.

Andrew Carnegie. Scotchman, Ameri- can and philanthropist, has given away millions to build libraries that the peo- pie may be benefited Up to a few months ago he stood without a peer. His philanthropy was of the peculiar kind that only man with a fortune similar to his own could indulge But from the serried ranks of business comes a challenge to Carnegie liberal ity. It is mild bid in its way. but possessed of all the fervor and inten- sity of an honest business purpose, and in its benefits to individuals even mightier than any gift ot the worthy Scotchman. Carnegie's have not been direct awards to the people: those of his rival are.
 Carnegie might smile if he were told his generosity had been rivaled by the American Cigar company. But if he were informed that this company had decided to disburse s142.5OO among it's patrons it would furnish him a theme for serious thought. That is why the American Cigar company is engaging in this specific bit of philanthropy It wants the American public to think It wants the world of commerce to study well this carefully developed model of energy and business enterprise. Both classes of thinkers must ponder over such challenge to success.
 Cigarmaking is by no means an oc- cupation devoid of improvement. The American Cigar company has shown this, and it is adding to the mass of evidence every day. The public has no argument against this assertion. It knows the various brands of cigars the American Cigar company proudly re- ters to as it's record of achievement in popular field as the best and largest selling brands of cigars in the world These various brands the American Cigar company made to satisfy the taste of every smoker seeking a high grade smoke at five cents are the Cremo, Childs, Cubanola, Florodora, etc. There is more than five cents worth of value in every one of them
 There are a very large number of these cigars sold. There can be more sold. The American Cigar company is willing to give S142,500 to stimulate this sale.
 It wants the public to think how many cigars bearing a tax of s a thou sand the United States will collect taxes on uuIlnS the coming month OI December. And it will pay $142,500 to these thinkers next January.
 This is the acme of business progress siveness. To step across this line is beyond the power of any organization of business people, save that of the American Cigar company. As yet there has been no one to even share posi- tion with this company.
 There can be no doubt of the popular ity of such an enterprise. for people all over the country are showing an inter- est that means something. Enthusiasm of this sort betokens good for those toward whom it is aimed. In this case the American Cigar company is the bulls-eye of the target. The people, of whom there will be 35213. will benefit handsomely by the plan, and the Amer ican Cigar company will be glad to see them prosper.
 This opportunity will furnish many a man the means of establishing a library of his own, home of his own,

THE RESULT OF FASHION.

In time there so many changes of the feminine waist line that nature became aweary and eliminated the stomach from the female economy.
 Of course, this worked untold hard ships on the makers of chocolate creams and the keepers of soda foun- tains, to say nothing of the vendors of dyspepsia cures.
 But woman was happy. For, not be ing required to eat herself she refused to worry over the cook question and made her husband take his meals at a restaurant.-Life.
