R1eNEY CAPTURED THE BOYS.
Parents Will Make Good And Young
 sters Will Not be Prosecuted.

sters VIII Not be Prosecuted.
 Sheriff Rigney arrested seven boys yesterday for breaking into the store kept by two young Germans at the corner of North Main and Winchester avenue. As the parents of the young fellows have decided to make good to the storekeepers, the prosecution or the boys was not carried out and then names have also been withheld. It appeared that the boys orgainzed and had arranged plan to visit several places in Klondike, and their success in a previous visit to the store already referred to. was the source of their Elf- lawful ambition. From this it would appear that had their first venture been as unsuccessful as the second, there would have been no second at- tempt. They had made q master key out of blade of large pocket knife and this the sheriff has in his posses sion. The goods they took from the store consisted of large quantity ot smoking tobacco, box of cigars, sew eral dozen boxes of cigarettes, besides coin. candies and other things. Their second venture ending i'll disaster. they were scared out of their wits and have promised sincerely that theu wild escapades are at an end

'Come in in the morning, and the
ha2k will have something for you to
do said the president Of Broadway
bank to a meek looking man whose
hair was white and whose eyes were
marked by deep crows feet as he left
the office, with bright look of salts
faction Oh his face that had not been
there before.
Let me tell you a story said the
president as lie motioned to me to re-

three city lots composed the capital

time while working for $50 a. month

advanced in value to $4,000 when
sold them to a st. Louis man.
ut was nearly o'clock, and | hur-
ried to the bank. l made out the de-
post slip and laid it. with my gold and
handbook, in front of the receiving
teller.
"'It is closing time now,' he said
and you had better not make your de-
posit until morning.
"'Charley, | said, for | knew him
well, that is ridiculous. 1t is a half
minute before closing time, and | in
sist that you take my deposit. ! don't

earth before morning.

gathered up the money and handbook
and disappeared in the vault with
them. In a minute he was back, and
| was astonished at his actions.

THE HIGH LICENSE REMEDY.

The Solomonville Bulletin, a conser-
vative and very ably edited newspaper,
has taken cognizance of the agitation
in this city for a high license ordi-
nance. and gives expression to some
views that ought to appeal to thought
ful people. The Bulletin says:
1t is being demonstrated in almost
every town in Arizona that the NOM
ma has brought into existence, and
allow them to continue, so many low
dives where liquor is sold that they
have become alarmingly threatening.
In Tucson the newspapers have
Joined hands in an effort to suppress
the dives by means of high license.
Councilman Buehman, Of that city, has
introduced an ordinance providing for
a license Of 5000 per year which would
close many of the objectional joints
incorporated cities have high IL
cense remedy in their city government,
but there is no present remedy where
city incorporation does not exist.
It is true that most of the crime and
criminal costs originate in the dives.
Any law that could do away with
them should be encouraged. If the
Territory would pass a law placing
the minimum license on a saloon at
5000 per year and give half the
amount. or all of it, to the school fund
the result would be beneficial. We
would have less saloons, but we would
have more orderly and respectable
ones. The man who engaged in the
business under a high license would
have enough at stake to make him
see that low characters did not herd
at his place. The patronage of the
dive would not be solicited or en-
couraged, because the dive patronage
drives the best trade away always.
1t is in and around the dives where
crime is breeded; the patrons of these
low joints depend on every form OF
robbery and thievery for existence.
The dive saloon is a nuisance and
we hope the agitation in Tucson will
lead to some desirable Territorial leg
islatiOn along this line.

A Ruskim Thought.

To be content in utter darkness and
ignorance is indeed unmanly, and there
fore we think that to love and find
knowledge must be always right. Yet
wherever pride has any share in the
work even knowledge and light may be
i'll pursued. knowledge is good, and
light is good. yet man perished in seek
ing knowledge. and the moths perish
in seeking light, and if we who are
crushed before the moth Will not accept
such mystery as is needful to Us We
shall perish in like manner. None but
the proud will mourn over this, for we
may always know more If we choose
by working on, but the pleasure is, /
think. to humble people, in knowing
that the journey is endless, the treasure
ineXhaustible-- --Ruskin.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Pure water is more essential than
clean grass.
Even though turkeys are good for
ayers it will not pay to let them go
without proper feeding.
Everything in the rearing of young
poultry depends upon their care and
management at least until well feath-
cred.
Fowls inclined to fatten too easily
are not good layers. The flesh they
carry makes them lazy, and this never
promotes laying.
Middlings make a good food for poul-
try, but if wet up alone it is too sticky.
The better plan is to mix with bran
or corn and wet with milk or scalding
water.
Whitewash is better than paint on
the poultry houses, for the reason that
it costs less and has a purifying infiu-
ence. 1t may be applied as often as
once month to advantage.
The properties of sunflOwer seed are
peculiar, and small quantity fed at
the proper time will essentially aid in
imparting to the plumage of adult
fowls q gloss that 10 other grain will
produce.

Americans Abroad.

The mere fact of an American citizen
taking a trip abroad or residing there
for short period does not deprive a
native born citizen of this country OF
his citizenship, nor does he lose the
right to the protection of this govern
ment by so doing. If he abandons his
residence here, he loses his right to
vote lust as if he moved to another
state, but acquires it again by return
ing to this country. Nearly all the ma
tions on the globe claim the right OF
authority over native born citizens Of
their own countries even after those
citizens have acquired citizenship else
where-that is, if native Russian
comes here and is naturalized, then re-
turns to Russia for visit, the Russian
government might compel him to do
army service despite his American citi-
zenship. This principle was embodied
in the famous expression ."once an Eng
lishman, always an Englishman," so
much quoted during the war of 1S12.-
Detroit Free Press.

The Coroner and the Bottle.

The following little scene at an in
quest upon the body of a murdered
man is reported by a correspondent of
the Anglo Russian from Astrakhan:
The coroner debating to his clerk: ''On
the table was found bottle No;
stop for a moment. We must ascertain
it's contents" The coroner, tasting the
liquid dictates: The bottle contained
English gin. Perhaps not; l am not
sure; taste it yourself" The clerk,
having done So replies. II think it is
simply strong vodka" The coroner,
tossing off another glass: mo, really.
1t tastes like gin" The clerk, tasting
the liquor again, Il still think it is only
vodka"
The bottle having gradually become
empty, the coroner proceeded to dictate
in decisive tone: Write: An empty
bottle was found on the table, and all
measures taken to ascertain what it
contained were of no use"

The Du Points of Powder Fame.


The Du Points own powder mills in
all parts Of the country from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Among the Du
Points themselves there is a process or
selection for those who are to have to
do with the powder works. The
youngsters are watched, and when
one shows nervousness in the face of
danger he is placed somewhere else
than in the powder mills. The rule is
that Du POnt in person shall always
lead whenever there is imminent dan
ger a number of Du Points first and
last-and some of them important ones
have been killed under this rule, and
there repeatedly have been heroic es-
capes from death through this disre-
gard of the fear of it.
The family rule is a despotism, and
a very strict one. The family always
has head, and what this head or
chief says the other members of the
family do. This headship does not
necessarily descend from father to SOD.
even when there are sons. Sometimes
it goes from uncle to nephew, the main
point being to secure Du Pont thor

ness affairs of the family.-NeW York

WHOSE MONEY Is IT?

Mr.. Schwab, the president of the gi-
gantic steel trust. has sailed for
Europe, suffering, it is said, from ner-
yous prostration Whether the nGr-
vous prostration was made apparent to
the stockholders of the trust by the ex-
tleme candor of Mr.. Schwab as wit
ness in court recently can only be
surmised.
On the occasion referred to Mr..
S,hwab rendered some highly interest
ing information. The syndicate that
underwrote the steel trust scheme has
already divided $3O,00O,OOO of profits
on an investment of $25,cCC,00O~ Mr..
Schvab, according to his own state
ment, has sold to the ship building
trust for $26,000,00O the Bethlehem
steel works, which he recently bought
for s7,5O0,O0O
When the steel trust itself was
formed, one concern after another was
sold to it at enormous profits. 1t is
current gossip in financial circles that
Carnegie, who got s315, 100000 for his
property, had not long before that
valued it at $4,000, 900.
Now, where does this profit come
from, and how does it happen that
men can make such monstrous for
tunes between winks of the eye? The
money does not rain down. So far rs
there is any, it must come from some
body who has it. We have not yet
seen any satisfactory explanation OF
who are the people whose money has
gone into the bulging pockets of these
millionaires. So far as appears from
the reports that the trust officials
vouchsafe to the public, nobody has
been made any poorer by these enor-
nous transfers.
But it is not in the nature of physics
to- draw millions out of nowhere and
nothing. Somehow or other, some day
or other, it will develop that there is
mighty hole somewhere. Then there
will be developed an amount of hind
sight that will be as abundant as il
will be useless to those who do the
hind-looking.

Bees nnd Ants.

Bees will place their honeycombs in
any place regularly or irregularly
shaped, and when they come to corners
and angles they seem to stop and con-
slider. Then they vary the shape of the
cell, SO that the space is exactly filed.
1t could not be done more satisfactorily
if the whole thing had been worked
out on paper beforehand. Ants make
hard and smooth roads and drive tun-
nels compared to which mans efforts
in making such things are insignificant.

Far be it from us to attempt to de-

old Davy was the last man in the world
to attempt to gather unto himself

mortgage an event in history to which
he was not entitled. Davy wasn't
built that way. Davy had many en-
counters with coons, but none of them
ever came down without good and suffl'
cient cause.
1t was Captain Scott, Captain John
Scott of Arkansaw, and not Davy

judicious coon to surrender. Let his

GAinsborough and His Carrier.

One of the earliest members of the

custom to have his pictures conveyed
to the metropolis by prosperous Lon
don carrier, Il Mr.. Wiltshire of Shock

to accept payment on the ground that
he loved pictures too well. He was
not, however, allowed to go unrcward-
ed, for Gainsborough presented him
with six of his best works, and some
idea of their ultimate value may be
gained from the fact that when at
length they were sold the National gal
