Captain Harrison had to have one of his limbs amputated to save his life. He was reported to be resting easier yesterday. but there is yet very grave fear that he will never recover from his present illness. Judge Prowell and Captain Harrison have long been the warmest friends. Captain Harrison has a great many friends in Marengo and throughout the State as for that matter who sincerely hope that he will soon be m the high road to his accustomed good health. In sneak king of the removal of the court houes of Marengo to a site nearer the depot, Judge Prowell said
 "Cbancellor Smith listened to the argu- ment of the removal question very natiently and after hearing what the law yers had to say and studying carefully the wording of the new constitution on the subject of the removal or county sites and the locations of court houses. render ed a decision to the effect the County Commissioners of Marengo had no right to select a new site for the temple or justice The removalists appealed to the Sunreme Court from the decision or the Chancellor and the matter was suomltteo to the highest judicial tribunal or the State by brief few days ago. ana that hody will hand down its decision on the question as soon as the matter can be reached"

 Society young people of the Canebrake have been looking forward to this mar riage with the keenest interest for some time past. The bride-to-be is one of the sweetest, most lovable and accomplished of the Canebrake's many belles, and has hosts of friends in Selma. Captain Pitts resided in Selma for number of years and has hosts of friends here who are delighted that he has won the heart and hand of such a young woman. He was captain of the Nelson Battery while he was a resident of this city and volunteer ed in the Spanish-American war, and it was not his fault that he did not get any further than Miami. Captain Pitts has taken a deservedly high stand at the bar since he removed to Perry and he has a great future in store for him in the practice of his profession.

Concert a Great Success.

The concert given at the Railroad Y.
 M. C. A.. was one of the most enjoyable musical treats that has taken place in this city in many day. Over $aO was cleared and all of those who attended ex- pressed themselves as being delighted. good deal more money would have been taken in at the door if the rooms had been large enough. and a good many rode out on the cars to hear the music, but not being able to get seats came away. Standing room was at a premium as it was. Outside the rooms all of the space

Taken to the Courts.

Some time ago the City Council of Sel- ma granted to Albert Howell the right tc open a market on the west side Of Barge Line Avenue, just outside, the city limits The city has police Jurisdiction for d half mile beyond the corporate limits in all directions and regulates markets, etc, outside of the corporate limits for that distance the same as if located in the city proper. Chip Avery has opened a market on the east side uf Range Ave nue. nearly opposite that of Albert How ell and the city authorities have ordered him to shut it up. Mir. Avery. who is a Justice of the Peace contends that the city has no right to make him close his market and has taken the matter into the courts. The market men and others interested in the question are watching the outcome of the case with a great deal of interest.

location of any court house can be chang ed without the vote of the people of the county on the question It is claimed that the framers of the new constitution did not mean to say that the location for the site of a court house could not be changed in the town in which 1t is, but the wording of that instrument Is very plain and emphatic on the subject and is the language on which Chancellor Smith handed down his decision against re- movaL.

Shirt Waists and Straw Hats

The policemen of Selma. faithful guard fans of the peace and dignity of the city. are agitating the question of asking the city council to allow them to wear shirt waists and light, broad brimmed hats. instead of the heavy helmets and thick coats that they now have on. during the hot weather. The authorities will be ask ed by the policemen in a short while now to allow them to make the change. A regulation shirt waist and hat could be selected and they would look cool and handsome.

does not say that they shall have two tracks, and a rumor Is af1oat that Mayor Mcleod will not allow them to put oown two tracks back of the St. James,, with out an ordinance saying that they can oo so Some are of the opinion that the Western will try to put down another track there anyway. and If 1t Is attempt ed. there will be a sharp passage at arms between the city and the Western. Great interest is being taken in the track laying now being done on the respective alleys. and every move is watched with the deepest interest.
 New interest was lent to the matter this morning by a vigorous kick from Bridge Keeper Lide on account of the track com ing so near to his residence which IS located on the bluff at the end of the bridge. Mir. Lide thinks that the cars coming so near his residence will make 1t uncomfortable for his family and hence his vigorous kick.
 MT. Iide's residence is a two-story one, one story being under the bluff and the other above the level of the blum. When the bridge was owned by the old Bridge Company, the City Council granted to Will Rosser the right to erect residence there. and he was so well liked by the stockholders and directors of the bridge that they granted him the right to build this house. The Bridge Company erected the house for him and 1t must have cost g, ,0Oo When the county purchased the bridge from the stockholders the house went with the bridge. and MT. IAde's Kick has developed the fact that the county has no title whatever to the land on
 which the house is built, and that the whole thing is based on a permit to w. c. Rosser to erect a house there. Some contend that MT. Rosser can claim the house under that contract with the city and can occupy 1t or make the county pay him rent as long as 1t wants to use 1t. At any rate, a member of the City Council, who has investigated the matter, proposes to make the county of Dallas pay rent hereafter for the house and will introduce an ordinance to that ef- feet at the next meeting of the City Council.

after the Confederacy laid down arms at Appomattox. Mir. Wood gives this book to the care of the old Confederates as long as they shall keep up their organi- zation. If they ever disband. then the book is to revert to him. Besides the book of orders. he also presents Camp Jones other valuable papers relating to the war. that were saved by Judge Wood. and they make a valuable addition to the archives of the Confeleracy stored away by the old veterans.
 The South never had a more gallant de- fender than Judge Wood. He was so modest. however. in discussing the part he took in the civil war that very few persons knew anything about his war record. except his immediate associates in the army. He entered the service of the Confederacy as lieutenant and when the war closed he was acting colonel of his regiment.

Property changes Hands.

M. Leva has purchased from George B. Burns the old two-story brick store on the east side of Lauderdale Street where it intersects with Water. There are two stores. two stories high. and Mir. Leva will take steps to put them in first class condition. He will have plate glass fronts put in them and will repair the interior. The price paid has not been ascertained. These stores will be just across the street from the handsome new home that the Elks will erect, and that is doubtless what attracted MT. Leva's at- tention to the property. Since the Elks have purchased the 120 feet front on Water Street, west of Lauderdale, prop erty in that part of the city has taken on great activity and there has been a heavy demand for it.

WHICH SHALL IT BE-?

Hope is the buoyant spirit that cheers mankind to encounter ills that otherwise would be unbearable; it is the one inspiration that charms all mankind alike, but hope long deferred maketh the heart sick. Arizona has been knocking at the nations doors for years asking admission as state. The omnibus bill has passed the house and is pending in the senate granting our wishes. This measure passed the house, receiving every democratic vote therein. In the sen- ate the democratic senators have been its most ardent and active sen ators, with possibly the exception of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. Their support has been given knowing Ari- zona was the only territory among those desiring admission that would possibly be democratic. The date for consideration of the measure has been fixed for early in December. should political conditions in the territory be the same then as now. That is to say
 democratic. Our democratic friends will. feel that their support of our cause has not been in vain, that even if four republican senators were seat ed by admitting Oklahoma and New Mexico, that Arizona would send two loyal democrats to the fold. Our ad- mission if we are true to ourselves, is then assured, because republican senators will also support the meas ure as they gain political advantages by such action. It is up to the people of this territory. It Is with them to say whether statehood shall be ours or whether hope shall be still defer red.-Phoenix Democrat

CAUSED CONSERVATION

The news of Speaker Henderson's S withdrawal from the congressional race in his Iowa district is said to have caused consternation among the republicans in Washington and cores bonding joy among the democrats.
 The following is the view expressed at the democratic cong Tessional com mittee headquarters:
 Speaker Henderson's withdrawal at this time, when We have the repub- licans on the run on the question Of the tariff and trusts. is worth twenty five seats to the democrats in the next house. It means that the republican leaders are afraid to face the issue which we have presented. During the past two or three weeks the demo cratic committee has been printing his record ever since he has been in congress, in all the big and little dem ocratic papers in his district. He has found himself unable to explain it to the satisfaction of his people and ac' cordingly has retired. The Iowa re. publican platform declared for a re. vision of the tariff and reduction on ali trust made goods. Speaker Hen derson, like all of the republican lead CTS, are out of joint with this plank He maintains that the tariff has noth ing to do with he trusts. Henderson withdrawal will make our majority 1T the house larger and his district will be represented by former Governor Boies.'

AN Ex.PREsIpENT's SAD LOT

What shall be done with the ex- presidents? This is question that is not likely to be settled as long as there are republics in Central and South America and the islands of the tropic seas. There are ex-presidents of those countries scattered almost everywhere. One is likely to find them hanging to straps in street cars or be ing kicked out from saloons It is very distressing.
 In New York the other day ex-Pres ident Juan JimineZ of San Domingo had Abelardo Moscosco, a former Do- minican general. arrested for assault and battery. The statesman and war rior had met in joint and sought to settle the affairs of their native land. the result being that the former president of a glorious country in which all men are born free and equal also revolutionists, appeared in police court with a black eye and a raw nose.
 These things ought not to be. The ex-presidents should form a union for self-protection. They are permitting the presidency business to be made ridiculous. Ex-kings and princes who are out of jobs generally manage to live in at least semi-state and keep from wearing raw meat on their eyes vixen they go to court Surely the ex presidents should try to do as well.

The many personal friends of W. F. Nichols in Cochise county, regret that he allowed himself to get in the way of Murphy's machine, but con- gratulate him on the fact that he was not nominated for congress. Nichols could poll anywhere from one thou sand to fifteen hundred more votes in Arizona than Bob Morrison, but he could not defeat Colonel Wilson.
