| tended the meeting of the republican
national committee which met there
for the fixing of the time and place
for the holding of the republican ma

preparations for the convention. The

SENT TO THE ASYLUM-Janver
Whites the stranger who was arrested
three days ago on a charge of in
sanity had a hearing yesterday before
Probate Judge Phillips and was sent to
the asylum. 1t was the opinion of the
court that of all the cases which had
come before him that of Whites was
perhaps the worst. The man had been
a wanderer on the face of the earth
for twenty years. His insanity was of
his own making If it could be called
insanity at all. In all the twenty years
| he had done no work and had no am
bition. He is only about forty years
old.
A DRUG DISTRIBUTING POINT
The Prescott Courier which came to
Phoenix yesterday had an item which
will be of interest to all the old timers
of Prescott. 1t was related that :
| druggist there had received an order
from Cairo, Egypt, for $50 pills of the
kind made by DR.. MCandless of
| Prescott. It is time that the fame of
those pills was spreading for they have
! been a household word in Prescott for
years. 1t is said that there is per-
| haps not II family in Yavapai county
who does not keep on hand a supply OF
DR.. MCandless' 1890 pills. They have
/ for years been recommended for all ills
that overtake the Prescottians and it
/ is hoped that they will obtain
as strong a hold on the affections of
the Egyptians as they have upon those
who have lived for a generation within
! their shadow

THE MCDOWELL cLAIMS.-D. w. !
Manchester, of Cleveland, United |
States special Indian agent, who came |
here few days ago and went to Nc
I1oWell, where he expected to receive /
instructions by mail, returned to the /
city last evening and is at the CONNER
cial hotel. Mr.. Manchester says that |
his instructions were that the claims |
of each settler at Mcdowell had been |
approved in accordance with the ap- |
praisement made some time ago, and |
the awards made to each settler. He /
was authorized to pay such claims as |
soon as possible and has received |
from the treasury the money necessary |
to do so. Preliminary to payment, |
however he must secure quit claim |
deeds from each landholder and they |
must be forwarded to Washington for |
approval and return. This viii re- |
quire some weeks, perhaps, especially |
in some cases where the settlers have
gone to California or elsewhere, tenn |
porarily. Mr.. Manchester is not a |
stranger to Arizona, having been in the |
northern part of the territory before, |
and having been at Parker, the Colo |
RADIO Indian agency, since last sum- !
mer, when he relieved the agent who |
was dismissed from the service, and /
had charge Of things until a new APP
pOintment was made. When he went |
down the river eighty miles IN a boat /
with the thermometer at 124. his Opin
ion of Arizona was not the best in the (
world, but he looked upon it as rath-
er a warm welcome to the sunkissed /
land. Mr.. Manchester says he has
made recommendations for a new
agency on that reservation and thinks
it viii be constructed in the near fu-
ture The present agency was formerly !
military pest; is badly out of order, /
and not worth rebuilding. The new
agency will cost probably forty or If /
ty thousand dollars. and he has recon-
mended that it be put up near the |
river bank, the location being much |
more desirable than the present agen-
cy, a mile and half away from the |
river front especially as all Transport
tation is by water. The available pu-
pills for the school number about $50,
and the whole Indian population of |
the reservation SO. He thinks that at |
no distant day there win be sufficient |
land brought under irrigation there
about to make the Indians self-sup- |
porting, and even now a large part of |
their food consists of melons and |
pumpkins grown by themselves.
