WHERE S MURPHY?

If the Republicans of Arizona mean
business this year, if they want to try
their strength and to test the sentiment
of Arizona on the issues of the parties.
let them nominate their ablest and
strongest man for Delegate to Con-
gress.
Why go beating about the bush?
Why hunt for candidate among the
obscure? Why try to force nomina-
tion upon every Tom, Dick and Harry
who votes the Republican ticket? Why
not nominate the leader Of the party I?
Bring out Murphy.
The Republicans defended the course
of Murphy while he was governor.
They accused the Democrats of perse-
cutiEg him. Now let them vindicate
him
MIL hy is the ablest Republican in
Arizona and the most INSCRIPTIONS.
The Republican nomination for Con-
gress is going begging. Is there no
fight left in the party of the admins
tration? Why not rally under a real
leader? The Democrats are anxious
to test strength and try conclusions
with the Republicans. They want the
Republicans to nominate their strong
est man. Murphy will nominate some
one for the Republicans. Why doesn t
he nominate himself?
What's the mater with Cakes? Why
don't the Republicans insist upon him
taking the nomination? The Demo
Gratis are anxious to get crack at him.

CUTTING HIMSELF OFF.
The Blunt Way I'm Which ChapHa2n
Cannon Refused Fortune.

The Blunt Way I'm Which Chaplain
Cannon Refused IA Fortune.
The Rev. Edward Cannon, a chap
lain to King George ", was a dog
gedly independent man. On one occa-
sion he refused to compliment his roy
al master on his singing and for q
time fell into disfavor. His manner
was high handed and not always too
courteous, but his actions were always
on the side of right and justice. The
biography of his friend Barham, the
author of the ''Ingoldsby Legends"
contains, among other anecdotes of
Cannon, the story of how he disinher-
tied himself.
A silly old lady summoned him to
her house and pretended to be declin-
ing in health. She told him she had
made her will, by which the whole of
a considerable fortune was to be left
to him.
II don't believe it," said Cannon aft
er a pause, in which he eyed her
doubtfully. The lady assured him that
the document was lying in desk in
the room.
Il won't believe it," persisted Can
non, unless l see it,
Smiling at his incredulity, she placed
the will in his hands. Cannon read it.
We'll" he said deliberately, ''if
had not seen it in your own hands. /
could not have believed you were such
an unnatural brute.''
Thrusting the paper between the bars
of the crate, he continued in a severe
low voice: Have you no one more
nearly connected with you than mo
one to whom your money should go,
who has a right to be provided for
first and best? Pooh! You don't
know how to make a will. I'll send
for lawyer, and he shall make your
will. You shall leave me a legacy.
There's no harm in that, but I'm not
going to take it all to please you.
Good day, maam"

The Young Partridges.

All summer long while berries are
plenty the f1ocks hold together, finding
ten pair of quiet eyes much better pre-
lection against surprises than one
frightened pair. Each flock is then un-
der the absolute authority of the
mother bird, and one who follows
them then gets some curious and in
tensely interesting glimpses of a par
tridge'S education. If the mother bird
is killed by owl or hawk or weasel,
the flock still holds together while ber-
ries last under the leadership of one of
it's own number more bold or cunning
than the others. But with the ripening
autumn, when the birds have learned,
or think they have learned, all the
sights and sounds and dangers of the
wilderness, the coyey scatters, partly
to cover wider range in feeding part
ly in natural revolt at maternal au-
thority, which no bird or animal likes
to endure after he has once learned to
take care of himself.-W. j. Long in
Outing.

1t might be easier for the Hon. Ros-
coe Dale to secure the Republican NOM

an election to the Office of district at

but he can probably have the Delegate
nomination for the asking. If Roscoe

L,ISt6n TO the Talk.
It Comes From Pueblo, Col. II
Comes From the Back.

Did you know it?
Know the back could talk?
Tell it's troubles like a child?
Tell you why 1t aches and pains?
Tell you why it's lame and weak!
Warn you of the kidneys Ills!
Kidneys have too much to do.
Can't be sick and filter, too.
Listen to them when they speak.
Relieve the kidneys; cure the acne
Keep the filters free at work.
Keep the kidneys we'll and strong.
Then the back is silent.
1t does not ache; it does not pain;
1t is not weak. nor is it lame.
It's healthy, like the kineys.

MURDERER
PAYS THE
PENALTY
John C. Best, Who Killed Geo.
S. Bailey, EIectrocuted at
Saugus Early This Morning

Boston, Sept. 9.-John c. Best was cleo
trocuted for the murder of George T..
Bailey of Saugus at 12:22 this morning at
the state prison.
STORY OF THE CRIME.
The crime for which John c. Best suf-
fered death was the particularly atrocious
murder on Oct; Z. 1880. of his employer and
ager of q Saugus farm. and whose as
membered body was found In two sep
arate sacks floating In a nearby pond
about 10 days later
A searching investigation disclosed the
fact that Best had a quarrel with Bailey
over a woman, who left the tarm TWO
weeks before Bailey disappeared. The
although the evidence In the case was In
a great measure circumstanttal.
A strong effort was made TO nave une
verdict set aside on the ground that one
OF the jurors was deaf. but the supreme
court and subsequently the governor re-
fused to entertain the claim.
MADE NO CONFESSION
The discovery of portion Of Bailey s
remains in Floating Bridge pond caused
tremendous excitement In the nearby
cities Of Lynn and Salem and large
crowd watched the search and recovery
OF the remaining portion of the body 9
few davs later. So far as known. Best
never confessed TO the crime and during
hts last days was particularly bitter and
laid Bailey while the latter was return
ing home late at night, and that the
murder was committed on the farm, Besl

IL Is evident from such procedure that
deficits could be and were paid out OF the
receipts for sewer assessments. thus re-
lieving the city council OF the necessity
Of making an increased tax rate to meet
current expenses during said periods.
The deficit for the year ending Sept 30
1901. was In part due to the change In the
law whereby we received but Tia OF the
years liquor license fees when our appro-
priations had been based upon the re-
celpt OF the full amount or such fees.
Your committee recommends that this
deficiency be adjusted from the revenue
OF the current fiscal year. II Is generally
understood that, at the end OF this year.
in several departments there will be un-
paid bills amounting TO q large sum when
will have to be provided for.
CONDITIONS REGRETTED.
II Is to be regretted that such conditions
exist. To remedy them 4 will be necss-
sary either to allow the deficit to con-
tinue until another year and then assess
a tax TO meet the deficiency and 10 pro-
vide for the future as necessity demands,
OF to seek legislation authortsing the city
OF Providence 10 make a temporary loan
the year following collcctibie IN October.
1908. to pay said loan.
Your committee recommends that It's
first suggestion be adopted and submits
herewith an ordinance that will accom-
plish this result.
ONE POCKET TO ANOTHER
Legislation ought 10 be obtained where
by the cities and towns OF this state will
be relieved from assessing upon their iri-
habitants tax for the support OF ths
state: that a state board OF assessors be
created and the general treasurer author
lied TO collect the tan for its support IN
the past year this would have resulted IN
a saving TO the city OF Providence OF $sli.-
treasurer as a state tax.
Also. 10 reiterate what has previously
been stated by your committee. the legls-
iature should be appealed TO for.
Also. 10 reiterate what has previously
been stated by your committee. the legis-
lature should be appealed 20 for statue
that would provide for the taxing OF all
tangible personal property located In the

the present taxpayers from the burden OF
