The last few weeks seem to have de- veloped an epidemic of homicides in Arizona. All gun fighters and men of hoInicidal tendencies should meet prompt and rigorous punishment in the courts, and to the honor of the Arizona judiciary it can be said that our judges have done much to make the law a terror to criminals. But it might mend matters somewhat if a few juries would have the nerve to prescribe hanging for the murderers in- stead of confinement in the peniten- tiary.

Kaiser William, as often noted. has things, quite contrary to his cratic speeches. His request that his yacht. which has just been constructed by American builders be christened by Miss Alice Roosevelt is case in point. As a matter of fact. all of Williams actions in reference to the United States have uniformly denoted q warm try.

The Kansas City Star, in a compre- hensive and intelligent article on the development of Arizona. RICHER pronounces this terri THAN ALL tory to be richer in na- tural resources thar any other political subdivision of the union. Among many of the details set forth to substantiate its assertion it says:
 Statistics show that in the last year the territory of Arizona has made greater progress in mineral develop ment and railway construction than any other state or territory in the union. Other industries have enjoyed rapid strides. Public and private enter prises have encouraged the investment of millions of dollars of eastern capital, and plans well under way are opening the way for the investment of many millions more. The remarkable increase in the population of the territory. as shown by census figures that are prob ably altogether too conservative, demonstrate that Arizona is becoming populated commensurately with the importance of her industries. Of greater importance in the progress sof the young territory is the fact. fully developed in an expert manner by researches made in the last twelve months, that Arizona is richer in natural resources than any other political subdivision of the United States. The following figures upon the output of the year conservative repre- sent expert estimates of the mineral production: Copper. s25,0 900; gold. s7,OOOOOO; silver. s2.O0O.OOO; lead s1.- 5OO 900.
 Railroad construction in Arizona has not been equaled in any part of the country.
 Agriculture, which is almost entirely dependent in this territory upon irriga- ton, has made advances principally in those new regions where large volumes of water have been diverted from the Colorado and Gila rivers and conveyed to new lands by canal systems. The Imperial Land company has just com pleted canal system calculated to re- claim a half million acres of desert land along the Colorado river, lying in the adjoining corners of California, Arizona and Lower California. A great deal or land has been entered upon under this canal system and the town of Imperial has been established. In this tract, and in tracts to be reclaimed from desert areas by other countries further north on the Colorado river, the way is being made for thousands of families from the heavily populated parts of the country.
 The principal agricultural enterprise launched in the territory of late is the proposed construction by the Eastern Sugar company of. New York and Chi cago of s1,0o0,ooo sugar beet reduction

An example Of the absent minded
ness of people At certain times was
shown when one of GARDENERS eX-
merchants and present bookkeepers
forgot himself, and his friends have
since had the laugh on him. one day
this man. knowing that he had several
bundles to take nome at supper time
and not wishing to carry them in his
arms, hitched up his team at noon
time and on arriving at the place of
his duties, tied lie horse to the post
in front of the Library building and
went at his afternoons work. When
6 O'Clock came he gathered up his
numerous parcels and walked home,
had his supper and started to NOW
his lawn. when The thought flashed
through his mind that he had left his
horse hitched to the post down street.
The animal was a patient beast, but
no doubt wondered at his long cOnfine-
ment after the usual business hours
and must have thought that business
had been brisk during the day, to keep
his owner so long at his books.

Mrs. G. w. Matthews.

Mrs. Harriet Amanda, wife of George
w. Matthews, died, Tuesday afternoon,
at her home on Water street, after
long illness. Mrs. Matthews had been
i'll for more than a year with cancer OF
the stomach and during almost the en-
tire time had been a great sufferer, but
bore her sufferngs heroically, seldom
if ever complaining. She was born in
Sidney in 1874 and was the youngest
child of Capt. and Mrs. Sargent, who
moved to this place when she was but
a small child. She was married when
quite young to Mr.. Matthews and had
resided, with the exception of a few
years when they lived in Sidney on the
old home place of her father in this vii
lage. Besides her husband three sis
tiers one living in the West one in Mas
sachusetts. and another, Mrs. Davies of
Waterville, survive her. Mrs. Mat
thews was a woman liked and respected
by all who knew her and will be truly
mourned by a large circle of friends,
whose sympathy goes out to the be-
reaved husband.

A DISTINGUISHED GUEST.
Rear Admiral SchIey Will Be in the
City, Today.

Rear Admiral w. S. Schley is expected
| to arrive in the city about O'Clock, thi
afternoon, the train he will be on stop
ping here about five minutes. He has
promised to greet the Colby boys on his
| arrival and this will probably mean a
short speech. He will be in a special pri-
waite car, accompanied by the committee
of Bangor men who will meet him in Bos-
ton and conduct him from there to Ban
gor.
1t has been suggested that a platform
be constructed on the lawn where the
admiral can be seen by all and where he
can speak But the length of his stay in
the city will be rather too short to make
this feasible and the platform of the car
will answer very we'll There will be lots
of room and large number will be able
to see and hear him should he speak.
1t is expected that there will be a big
crowd at the station and that the famous
sailor will be given a reception that will
be credit to the city and one that Ad-
miral Schley will long remember. The
college boys will have first place as he
will practically be their guest for the
few minutes he is here, but the honor of
welcoming him will be shared by the
whole city.

or diplomatic office under the rebel
government; who left the ormy or navy
of the United States to evade duty in

An Italian who has been a boarder at
the company boarding house at Granite
Hill, was examined by Health Office:

toms, and was later removed to the hos

which have been recently detected, and
is of the same mild type.
Developments in other cases are not I'M
favorable. Some are rejoicing in the
convalescent period and are inclined to
appreciate the brighter side of their isola-

have been in effect over several dwellings,
where there had supposedly been cases,
will be discontinued after Saturday night.
as IA days will have then passed since
the first legal measures were taken, and
no additional cases have appeared.
