COL. J. E. WILSON.
Opens the Campaign in Jerome and
 Expands the Doctrine

The democratic nominee for dele gate to congress. Col. J. F. Wilson ad- dressed the voters of this place Sat. urday night.
 Two years ago the Colonel appeared m Jerome, when he was in the midst ol one or the most trying splits that ever threatened to disrupt the demo- cratic party of this territory. Believ. Ing himself justly nominated, he yet saw that it meant defeat to the demo- cratic party if he insisted upon stay ing in the race. He magnanimously withdrew from the contest and per mitted Mark Smith to have an o,en neid,-this action saved the oa'e~ate to congress to democracy and r o's .;s party together. MT. G. W. Hrr . was selected to introduce Colonel Will. son, referred approving ly to this act ion.
 Colonel Wilson made an hours ad- dress, which was one of the cleanest and most concise We have ever heard anywhere. He took for his theme the democratic platform and discussed it plank by plank, pledging himself to their hearty support
 There was no evasion of the eight hour-iaw plank, which some claimed would be done; he said that the terri torial and county conventions had pledged themselves to the enactment of such law candidates for the leg islature were in hearty sympathy with the movement, and he saw no reason to fear for the enactment of such a law, should the democratic party win in November.
 The trust problem appeared to equal ly divide the attention of the audience and was not less popular than the eight-hour-law. There is no doubt but that the people of Jerome appreciate the importance of the issue
 The impression Col. Wilson created was distinctly favorable, and means votes to the democratic ticket-Je- rome Reporter.

A week or two ago another evi- dence was afforded of eastern ignor- ance of western conditions. A few drunken Indians at Naper, Neb., be- came boisterous, whereupon a dis patch was sent to an eastern paper Upon the strength of that dispatch number of eastern newspapers wrote up thrilling stories about an Indian uprising in Nebraska and spoke about the danger to the white inhabitants from the presence of SO many red men. There are some Indians in Ne braska, to be sure, but most of them own farms and till them, and there are not as many in Nebraska as in New York. The danger of Indian up- risings in the west exists chiefly in the imagination of the gentlemen known in newspaper circles as string fiends."

 It is about time work was starting on the road. as to save their tax eX. emption several miles must be com pleted this year. A beginning was made at the proper time but within year from the beginning ten miles must be completed.
 This road will add several more miles of railway to Cochise county which now has more miles of track than any other county in the terri tory.

PHOENIX AND EASTERN

Frank Murphy when at Phoenix last week told the right of way committee that whenever a guarantee was put up securing to the road a free right of way between Phoenix and Mesa, he would at once advertise for bids for the first twenty-five miles of the road. It is the prevailing opinion that this road from Phoenix to Benson will be built and that it will become a portion of a coast line in connection with the Fl Paso and Southwestern and a west ern extension from Phoenix. It is not unlikely that a branch of the Phoenix and Benson road will go to Globe as that city could be reached by building . line not longer than twenty-five miles.
 The building of the line from Phoe- nix this way will pass through and near several rich mineral districts that have practically been unnoticed here tofore for want of railroad facilities It will reach the Ray and Riverside mineral country, the Troy country the Mammoth and the Tabable noun tain and coal fields country. It will take a very large business away from the Southern Pacific and will divert much business to Phoenix that has heretofore went to Tucson This line will do more for Phoenix in the way of carrying trade to 1t than the north and south road. Phoenix can well af ford to be prompt in furnishing the right of WY asked for, and the Phoe nix business men may be depended on to do it.
 Of course the furnishing of this rigkt of way is not . matter that would become . serious matter in q railroad enterprise of such magnitude The right Of ,w4y would not cost . sun that would prevent the building

It Is noted that "big corn" stories are going the rounds these days, most of them being old and very familiar There is the one about the boy who tried to climb corn stalk, and the stalk grew faster than he could slide down. His father tried to cut tha stalk down, but it grew so rapidly that he could not hit it twice in the same place In the meantime the boy is living on raw corn and already has thrown down two bushels of cubs. A better, and newer story comes from Furnas county, Nebraska A paper in that country says that the corn is so tall the famers will have to use bal icons to gather 1t and then let the ears down with parachutes to keep the ears from driving themselves out of sight in the ground when they fall

The nomination for congress of the three Landis brothers, two from Hi nois and one in Indiana, prompted the claim that if these gentlement were elected it would be the first time three brothers had served in congress to- gether. The Augusta (Me.) Journal, however, disputes this contention and points to the case of Maine's famous washburn brothers, four of them rep resenting as many states in congress and three of them being members at the same time and all three later be- coming governors of their respective states. The Journal also points to an other case in which Maine has repeat ed this achievement The three Wash burns were all members of the Thirty sixth congress. In the Thirty congress were the three Fessenden brothers, and in this latter case not only were they Maine men, but all three represented Maine in congress. William Pitt Pessenden, of Portland, William Pitt Fessenden, of Portland, Thomas A. D. Fessenden of Auburn, were members of the national house

NEW YORK NEWS LETTER.

The center of the political interest of the state will be shifted to Saratoga next week, for the republican state convention opens there on Tuesday. The republicans completed there state ticket two weeks ago, after much diff culty in selecting candidate for Lieu tenant Governor, but the democrats. whose state convention convenes a week af,er the republicans are still in the dark regarding their ticket. Some of the men in the democratic ranks, who are in a position to know. what they are talking about, say that the final selections for the democratic state ticket will be left until after the republican convention.
 If Governor Odell is reelected he will owe his triumph. in a great meas ure. to the fact he has nearly succeed ed in wiping out direct taxes altogeth- CT. without imparing the states finan- cial resources. It is we'll that this is so. for the Governor is weak or doubt full on other state issues. His attitude toward canal improvement is uhsatis- factory; he has offended many of those in charge of charitable institutions in the state, and has antagoniZed other interests. In reducing direct taxation, however, he has accomplished an achievement which appeals to farm CTS, so in his campaign for reelection the governor has about equal meas urements of strength and weakness. With all the free advertising that Devery has had ''touchin' on and ap- pertain to" his campaign, 1t is doubt full if he will be successful in winning the leadership of the Ninth Assembly District of New York. At first his grotesque grammar, remarkable slang and sharp characterizations of his op- ponents, together with his campaign methods. were amusing, and the news papers helped him by publishing them by way of amusement, but now it seems that the more publicity he gains. the more odious his methods are growing and it is doubtful if he will ever gai many strength in Tam many.

Hallenborg was one of the stockhold- CTS of the Cobre Grande and objected to the terms of the compromise of the litigation between the Cobre Grande company and W. c.

TIM ME FOR WORK

The Los Angeles Herald has always been the staunch friend of Arizona. It has justly considered Arizonas wei fare in the same light of Southern California. In fact the intel ests of both commonwealths are almost iden- tical. Their trade relations are very close and the business men and man ufacturers of Southern California look to Arizona for a large amount of wholesale trade, which they will con tinue to receive in increased quanti- ties as Arizona prospers. In an edi tolial last week. the Herald had the following:
 Granting statehood to Arizona should be one of the first acts Tn the session of congress next December. but the fact alone does not guarantee that this act of simple justice will be performed. It is certain that nothing will be done without earnest and per sistent effort on the part of the friends of the territory. There are in terests and influences at the national capital which aIe only too glad to seize upon any excuse to postpone ad- mission, as was shown in the closing days of the last session. Earnes, aggressive work alone will accom- plish the desired end.
 Now is the time to begin work. More than two months remain in which the friends of statehood may get together. organize and prepare for 1 the campaign. It was agreed that the question of statehood should be taken up early next December, and it would be worse than folly for the people of Arizona and others friends of admis- sion to allow the appointed time to find them in state of unprepared- ness. And, accordingly. as indiffer- ence and neglect are shown, the work of securing statehood will be made difficult.
 ''It is not a political question. Ar
  izona is entitled to admission on its merits regardless of political expedi- ency; yet the time was never so fav- orable for the republican party to make the cause of. Arizona it's own. Start the statehood ball rolling!"
 The Herald sounds the keynote of alarm when it says the greatest dan ger lies in a Jack of energy on the part of the people of Arizona and the friends of statehood on the outside Both political parties seem to take it for granted that Arizona is certain of admission at the short session. Over confidence on our part may be taken for a lack of interest abroad. Congress will meet again in Decem- Der and the omnibus statehood bill will be reported from the committee on territories, favorably, We believe. Between now and that date there must be no lack of work on our part. Mass meetings should be held in ev cry town and hamlet in the territory. Letters should be written to friends at Washington. Delegations should be ready to go on the shortest notice. We must show Arizona is in earnest about this matter. On ourselves de- pends much.

If other physicians have treated you for so-called weakness" you were helped only temporarily if at all, and the reason is very apparent when the cause of loss of power m man is understood. Weakness" isn't a weakness at all, but is merely symptom of chronic inflammation in the prostrate gland.

COL. WILSON'S CAMPAIGN


 tour of the territory making his cam. paign for congress. At every point in the north he has received the most enthusiastic and encouraging recep- tions. Democrats have turned out in great crowds to hear him at every point. He is most interesting speaker. His speeches are not made up of unsupported assertions or mean ingless denunciation. For every as. sertion regarding the conditions of the ounty and the causes which have caused them he submits undisputable proof. He is one of the best inform ed men on national questions to be found in the west and no man in Ari- zona has such an extended knowledge of local conditions in the territory From every county comes the good report that there is no friction or dis. sension in the democratic party in every part of the territory. This means a majority for Wilson of not less than 1,500 and the chances are excellent that it will be much more. The following dates are the remain ing dates for speeches by Colonel Wilson:

that several arrests will probably be
MAIDEN few days of persons charged
with corrupting the circuit court jury
which two years ago acquitted Col.

a committee of the local bar was ap-
pointed to assist assistant prosecutor

suit is several warrants which will

OTTUM WA is MENTIONED
Janitor overhears Conversation and
Arouses Town-Men Believed to
Have Been Connected With Prairie
City Bank Robbery.
from Tuesdays panyl

~ rom lueSuay l1..y
Have some of the cheap thieves
which this city is known to harbor
turned setheir hand to cracking bank
safes? And have they fooled the po-
lice into believing they are not as
cheap as they thought them to be?
These queries are brought up by ali
exciting circumstance which occurred
in the Iowa town of Monroe, a small
place in the southern part of Jasper
county on the Rock Island railroad, in
which the name of Ottumwa was men
toned by couple of men supposed
to be preparing to loot bank in that
place. The description of the men is
said to tally with that of the Prairie
City bank robbers.
The following dispatch sent out from
Monroe to a Des Moines newspaper
this morning tells the story:
Monroe was ''up in arms" Sunday
night all on account of a still alarm"
given by Mr.. Hertzog, janitor of the
Baptist church, situated on the east
side of the square. Mr.. Hertzog went
to the church at 10 p. m. Sunday to
see if the fire in the furnaces were all
safe. When nearing the church he saw
lllSS IuSH dip lHlO lue dlleS Oh Tie
north side of the church building
Deeming their actions were not above
suspicion he went into the rear of the
basement of the church to watch them
and while doing so overheard remarks
that convinced him their presence in
Monroe meant no good to the finances
of the city. One of the men remarked
that he had only few shells left
as the rest We're left in Ottumwa and
that they could soon get through with
the job and leave on the freight for
the east After hearing this Hertzog
concluded that ne next best thing tc
do was to get help. Accordingly he
aroused the bankers and some of the
merchants, who armed themselves
and going to the stores and other
places of business lighted their build
ings and waited for the robbers tc
commence action. The night marshal
had by this time lighted the street
lamps. While these preparations were
being made to give the robbers q
warm reception they were lost sight
of, and what might have proved a
bloody chapter in the history of Mon
roes failed to come to focus. After
waiting until 2:30 a. M, Monday, the
watchers departed for their homes
From the description given the visit
ors were part of the gang who robbed
the bank at Prail . City.
