A WILLY BOOK AGENT
Plays Confidence Game on Two
 Phoenix Lawyers.

Phoenix lawyers, like 2 Il other bus 4 ness men. are apt to be victimi:ed by confidence men occasion ally, thro ugh their willingness to accomm 0datc and their natural trust fu lness in man. kind generally.
 Recently a well-dressetl aad gentle manly appearing man wis lted J'hoeniX and called upon various of [ ne local members of the legal fraterT ity, rep resenting himself to be the uthorizeG agent of a lawbook pJIblis' ling firm. He seemed very anxious bI stock up the libraries of the PhoeI lix lawyers and displayed catalogues, Jrospectuses, etc, galore, quoting pric' es on desirable volumes as inquiry was made. Among
 the attorneys called UT En was Fl. E. Wilkinson of the firm pf Chalmers & Wilkinson. Failing to becure an order from MT. Wilkinson he bade him adieu, leaving the lawyer in pleasant frame
 of mind. glad that he ad at least made the acquaintance of D genial a gen. tleman.
 Presently the book agent returned to MT. Wilkinson and told him that he was a little short of money and want ed to draw on the horIse. Being a stran- ger in the city he asked Mir. Wilkin- son to identify lliJn at the bank
 through which he desired to do busi-
 ness. Mr Wilkinson: very promptly did so and pursuant to custom endorsed the draft. which was for $125. The
 money was secured and the draft for warded by due proc ess of mail. Yester-
 day 1t was returned with the ineorma-
 tion that the houa drawn upon had no knowledge of the identity of the man who got the money.
 Later in the day it was learned that
 the alleged book agent had wormed
 his way into the C orfdence of Attor- ney Thomas Prescott in similar man.

TWEEN 1 IlM DEAD"

LI,he following ptFem was found in the scrap book of, Mrs. R. s. Fow- Ter, Uvho died Sunday. To those who knew her best it brings out clearly the homelLke perfection of her character. the main trait of which was the love for her boys and family. When I am dead my boys will come As in old days beside my bed, And kneeling there will look on me With eyes of loye-when l am dead. They will not see the fateful scroll Insatiate time hath written there With ragged quill of sapless age
 Dipped in corroding ink of care. But they will see fair-haired girl With darkest eyes undimmed by
 tears.
 The blithsone comrade of their sports In happy hours. thro many years. The blasted track of burned-out hope. With stifing smoke of stranglins
 fate.
 Will glow and quicken meath the
 thought
 Of sacred love inviolate. III LONe GHCHduIeQ SldSS, Thin, faded hair and pallid face. Fen leaden mask of ghastly Death Will glow with youths refulgent
 grace. The unresponsive, pulseless clay
 No fondest, fervid kiss can move. To them will still be Mother dear" Incarnate with vivific love. Sometime, somewhere-it must be so- My little boys will come to me And clasp their arms about my neck. And sit again upon my knee. There is no death-only a rest,
 Peaceful srcease of fevered breath: A retroactive bliss supreme,
 Union with God-there is no death. Then spare the unprotected clay. The coldly curious. breathless stare: Only the eyes of steadfast love
 Should view the cankercd work of
 care.
 Only my boys, my little boys,
 Kneeling again beside my bed, As in the olden, happy days,
 To pray with me-when l am dead.

AN EXPLORATION COMPANY
A Suggestion for the Consi iteration of
 the Merchants of Phoenix.

s,rprestidu hes been made for the ,rercbants of Phoenix to orge'nlze an exnIoring company for the develop ,nent of the mineral resources Tn the country tributary to Phoenix just as inc hoard of trade is stimulating the commercial and agricultural interests of the valley. This has been done with ereat success in other localltiSs ana those who have given the subject thought believe tlNat it can be done here.
 An organization co ulG be effected and a fund raised for the employment or urospectors to search the hills Wlthln' say a radius of fifty rniaes, so that III the case of the developE mt or proper ties this town would rec7c i've the Dehe- fit of it. The developmeu;t Of single mine would lead to a huu,-- for others and Phoenix might be mad the center of a great mining district. sThere IS no doubt great mineral wealth within Hl- tv miles of Phoenix and systematic search for it would disclose It. Theh the ice would be broken or years if was believed that the Copp CT queen was the only mineral depoEu III that district. When everything 'else was discovered it was believed tp be only an offshoot that was not worth work ing. Within the last few years IL was made known that the Copper Queen. great as 1t was, was only a >sHlA Il part of the wealth of that neighbo rhood. and as soon as one other grea1- pro- perty was found the search fol stlI others was stimulated.
 The Phoenix merchants would e'tand 10 reap two benefits from the res 'ults of a thorough exploration of the co un- try tributary to the city, as part 'cl- pants in the enterprise and by the .in- crease of business that would follo " the creation Of a big mining district.

THE RETURN OF DR. FORD
It is Recalled that He Was the Repub' Iican's New York Correspondent.

pr. J. NJ. Fora and wife and Ernest Ford and wife returned on Sunday from New York, where they have been living for the last six months. After settling down in the east they rather believed they would not make Phoenix their home any longer, though they ex- pected to spend a part of the year here. Dr. Ford and his son were bus fly engaged ir the affairs of the Cien- eguita Mining Company, having offices in New York.
 On the approach of winter they all began to look loDgingly toward Phoe- nix and they decided to return. The longer they stayed away the more they thought of Phoenix as a home. The business of the doctor and uf ET- nest Ford will naturally require a Ies- idence in the east for a part of tho year. but they will never go away With the idea of abandoning Pho aniX I-I- mane1tiy.
 Dr. Ford and his wife are living in their former apartments in the Ford block and MT. and Mrs. Ernest ForI have taken the Snead residence on West Jeffenson street.
 Dr. Ford vas not on the street much yesterday. In fact. it was quite oifl - cult to find him. He had not forg otten a certain telegram received at The Republican Cttice last summer over his signature, describing the capering about of several other Phoenicians at Coney Island when their wives who had been left at home supposed that they were visiting more sedate resorts. attending various grand lodges and be- ing otherwise legitimately. engaged.
 At the time of the transmission of the telegram pr. Ford had not made up his mind to return to Phoenix again.

Mr.. c. o. Young made a test of the girl s
power. On the first trial the child inter-
posed no resistance and was easily lifted
On the second the resisting influence was
brought into play, with the result that his
full strength was unable to move her. al
though her weight was then only sixty
pounds.
Other persons who have tested these Won

Benjamin F. La Rue of Paterson suffered
lame arms for three days after his vain eff
forts to lift the girl.
No public exhibition OF the childs powers
has been permitted, except recently. at
Kingston, by Doctor c. o. Sahler. who; de-
string to study the case. induced Mrs
Lundelius to visit his institution. In the
presence of 150 persons Stella gave an ex-
hibition which astonished the spectators.
She resisted the combined strength of two
men to raise her. and when another was
added to the number they were still power
less.
She appeared to make no resistance. but
by placing her hand on one of the men all

TO increase the apparent weight OF her own
body
This power was first noticed by her IA
fhe- when she was child. just able to
stand alone. Mr.. Lundelius observed that
under certain conditions the exertion re-
quired to lift her was greater than under
ordinary circumstances.
One day, while sitting In his chair. with
the child standing on the floor between his
legs, Mr.. Lundelius discovered that by put
ting his finger on the back OF the neck Of
q person who attempted to pick up the babe
there was a resistance power which held the
child TO the floor. At the time he believed
this power emaLated from himself.
Since then the child has been the subjert
OF much experiment by persons DESTROYS Of
testing her alleged power.
BY simply placing her hand In contact
with persons who attempt the lifting she
apparently brings into play some mysteri-
ous force, which ueutral!zes the uplifting
pressure he brings to bear. and In spite OF
his utmost efforts her feet remain on the
floor, as though fastened there by clamps.
In one experiment tried the lifting power
of several men was exerted in vain to Iift
the child. The effect was as II the weight
Of her slender little body had been multi
piled many times.
