A POISONED NEEDLE
Story of a Mysterious Mexican nur-
 der Comes to the Republican.

A letter was received by The Repub- lican yesterday from Ellis Johnson. who is at Monterey. Mexico. throwing lC. E.. Coffey of Oklahoma, who died there suddenly last Sunday. falling on the street. Coffey, Nho lived in Okla homa and was known as the "boy
 sheriff." was in Monterey on official business in an important case. Last Sunday he was stopped on the street by someone whom nobody re- members and was given a note. Imme- | diately Coffey was seen to fall, and he never spoke a word. It was thought
 that he had suffered an attack of heart disease
 Later q ghastly discovery was made There was a little blood spot and nr closer examination a needle was founc | in the body. Its location indicated
 that 1t had been showed in with great force, and it was found to have beer poisoned.
 | Then the note was examined, which invested the case with still more mys- tery. It read as follows: "Othcrs take warning and do not try to find tn" murderer" No description can be oh- tained of the man who gave CoffeV 1 the note and hardly a motive for the
 murder can be suggested unless it was
 to prevent his further prosecution O' the inquiry which took him to that part of the country. Coffev Is sup posed to have relatives somewhere i"

Salarias ( ludues.

The salaries of judges of most of the appellate state courts are much be- neath the market price for abilities which they are supposed to possess. Ne observe that the last general as sembly of Connecticut increased the sa laries of judges of the supreme cburt of errors from s4.0O0 to s6.000. A few years ago one of the judges of that court resigned in order to resume practice worth several times the amount of his salary. Another judge of the same court, now deceased. was pnce seriously considering the adVisa- tlity of resigning sH that he might deycte himself wholly to featuring in law school whereby he was assured cf a larger salary. The code of 1883 Of North Carolina fixed the salary of-a iudgc of the highest court in that state at S2,5OO. and we are not aware that it has been subsequently, increased. The ealaries of judges of circuit courts ol Virginia range from $1.600 to s2.3O0. be- sides mileage. A judge of the Vermont supreme court receives S3,000 a year Gnd not to exceed $500 in expenses. Il is not at all improbable that tn" name

ATTENTION MINE OWNERS
The Samples for Worlds Fair Exhibit
 Must Be Ready Dec. Is.

One fact that should be given as much publicity as possible in the short time remaining is that the collection of mineral specimens from Arizona mines for exhibition at St. Louis next year must close at an erly day, prob ably about Dec. 15. though the date has not been definitely determined upon. Nine men cut of ten in this world fail to do a great many things they really intend to do. through sheer negligence, putting them off from day to day in the belief that there is no hurry. This is one of the things that should not be put off a single day, for the time is getting short and there are yet scores of promising mines that are not represented in the collection being made by the commissioners. There are two things that mine own CTS should remember when considering the advisa bility of contributing to this | display. One is the opportunity to make a fine showing for the terri tory, for a great deal of Arizona's flu ture prosperity will depend upon her mines. The other is the advertisement that will be given his individual prop erty and at no expense to him except to 1 furnish the samples and data. Many will be surprised no doubt to learn that { the exhibit will be made up so soon. and will wonder why. The reason is i that the exhibit is to be made a prac- tical one. It is to not only satisfy 1 the curiosity of the multitudes of wis 1 itors to the fair who will gaze upon | the display for a moment and then pass on, but it is to be made a bureau of information for those who want re- liable and practical information re- garding AriZona's mines-those who may want to put some money in mines or come to Arizona and put some mus cle in them.
 To that end the commissioners have arranged with Professor Blake of the university to assay all exhibits, pla- card them, and list them in the cat alogue which will tell whose mine the sample came from, where it Is located what values the ore carries, the plan o, operations and a deal of general in
 formation that every mine owner ha! to spend time and money to get befor' the world in any other way, before h, can do business. In. order to prepar, the exhibit in accordance with thes'
 lines and make it one that will bene
 fit both the territory at large and tn
 individual exhibitor. a great deal O
 time will be required and the commis
 sioners will necessarily have to finisl
 their collections at an early date.
 Every mine owner. therefore, wh
 really has something to advertise, an
 who wants to get the benefit of thi
 unusual opportunity, if he has not don
 so already, should make it his chic
 business to hustle his samples into tn
 hands of the commissioners. If in thi
 county send them to the board of trad
 room.

Sleep Required.

A healthy infant sleeps most of the time during the first few weeks" says a medical authority, and in early years people are disposed to let child ren sleep as they will. But when 6 or years old. when school begins, this sensible policy comes to an end, and sleep is put off consistently through all the years up to manhood and woman hod. At the age of 10 or II the child is allowed to sleep only eight or nine hours when its parents should insist upon it's having what is absolutely needs, that is, ten or eleven at least. Up to twenty d youth needs nine hours sleep and an adult should have eight. The want of proper rest anS normal conditions of the nervous sys- tenn, and especially the brain, produces lamentable condition"

Reforming the Dyspeptics.

The dyspeptic club recently formed
 In Jersey City aims evidently to ere
 nte a new department of the interior
 and to manage it on advanced and economical theories. So far there are
 nnly fifty-seven members in the organ
 ization, although a very much greater
 number, mostly Americans. are Olaio
 " eligible.
 Each member must make quarterly written reports of experiences. The dl- versity of these should certainly give due variety to the sessions. But this Is the only way to get at facts. The actions of different foods must be duly
 estimated. Pie and pain, buckwheat and blOat. sausage and suffering pickle and pang, cabbage and collie. ham nnd heartburn must show their proper ! rela tions. The humiliating part of the | business is that each culprit must con i fess to his weak will and his misplaced 1 condolences, while pork, pie and pud-
 ding will still hold their own against odds. Thus no member should be 1 trusted to give absolutely impartial testimony unless he can prove that he

The stable is handled by
Tom Kiley, esteemed the best
trainer in the West, and
known to turfmen all over the
country. The value of this
stable alone is immense. The
crack jockey, Batiste, who led
all the jockeys this season at
Delmar and the Fair Grounds,
is under contract to the stable.
It is in fact the strongest COM
bination on the turf. As to its
actual success, you have simply
to read the daily reports of
racing in the newspapers.
Thirdly, there is the pool
room in Hot Springs. This
poolroom, operated with un-
limited capital, is simply a
gold mine. Poolrooms are the
best money-making PROPOSE
tions in the world, almost.
At the Hot Springs room,
which is under the direct SUI
pervision of Mr.. E. ]. Arnold,
the newspapers report that

Arnold & Co. rely on as their
best advertisement. Hence
their actual, bona fde success,
and the implicit and we'll
founded confidence of their
clients.
The business of Arnold &
Co. is based on these two
ideas: cooperation of capital
and investment of that capital
on the turf where, by shrewd
management and careful hand
ling. the biggest and quickest
returns are realized. In the
first place Arnold & Co.
could not earn big dividends

abled to earn profits wholly
beyond the conception of peo-
pie not conversant with turf
conditions, or people shackled
to the antiquated ideas
that the only legitimate profit
is a small profit. First of all
must be taken into considera-
ton that it is the easiest
thing in the world to verify
every statement made herein.
Arnold & Co. are a St. Louis
firm, with Offices in the Benoist
building. They have been
operating here for four years.
Their standing can be ascer-
tanned from banks and from
the list of their investors.
For four years they have been
steadily paying dividends.
The officers are responsible
men. The files of the daily
papers, not only in St. Louis,
but all over the country, show
how and where and when they

head Bay, which was backed
by the millions of John Drake
and John Gates, cleared over
$4,000 during that brief
meeting alone.
These are facts that can be
verified by any sporting man
or turf journal. Now then,
with a bigger capital to go on
than any bookmaker or COM
bination in the world, isn't it
reasonable to suppose that Ar
mold q Go. can make just as
much money? The business of
Arnold & Co. is divided into
four departments: First, there
is the ~bookmaking depart
ment. These books are made
on the various tracks which
are running. For instance,
there are three books at New
Orleans. at present, and three
at San Francisco. These
books are managed by the
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-01-04

unless they had a great sum
of money to do business on.
You have to have money to
make money, and the more
money you have, the easier
it is to make it yield a big
return. Isn't this so of any
business? In the next place,
it ought to be pretty obvious
that big money can be made
on the turf. Bookmakers with
a bank roll, or capital of $1O,-
900, if they are competent
men, make anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year.
Bookmakers who do not know
their business don't make
anything like this. But good
makers make it>steadily. Men
like Fred Cook, Marcus Cart
wright, Barney Schneider,
George Rose, O'Leary, I'LL
man, have made fortunes, and

have earned dividends. The
company has a long estab-
lished reputation not only for
success, but for reliability,
integrity, financial strength
and conservatism. 1t is in a
class by itself. Many mush-
room imitators have sprung
up. Wildcat schemes m a
shake the public confidence in
all turf investments, but the
best proof of the soundness of
the Arnold & Co. proposition
is that for years it has been
operating the money of their
clients with a view not of un-
earnable profits, but of safety
and conservatism. What they
have paid has been actually
earned, and the records are
open to inspection. A recent
official investigation has been
made of this company. Not
only was every claim made

verified, but it was shown
that the firm has available
assets greatly i'll excess of all
liabilities and that it could
wind up business tomorrow,
paying off every investor in
full, and leaving something
like 5000, 900 in excess of all
ella ms.
Arnold & Co. do not pretend
to pay the rate of interest
offered by certain alleged turf
investment concerns, because
these profits cannot actually
be earned. They pay all that
