H. J. WINDMILLER DEAD.

A telegram announcing the death of H. J. Windmiller in San Francisco was received here this afternoon. The mes sage was sent by the secretary of the Masonic board of relief, and was ad- dressed to A. H. Morehead, secretary of White Mountain lodge No. 8, of which lodge deceased was member.
 MT. Windmiller, while examining mine in northern California, last De- cember, sustained an injury to one of his limbs, which compelled him soon afterward to enter a hospital in San Francisco. For several years he had been a sufferer from heart disease, which was, in all probability, the ini- mediate cause of death.
 H. J. Windmiller was B years of age and native of Germany, where he had a sister living. For a number of years he was associated with George H. Stratton under the firm name of Wind miller & Stratton, post traders at San Carlos, which partnership was dis solved more than two years ago. MT. Windmiller was possessed of money and property to the amount of about S35,000. He was a. large stockholder in the Arizona Commercial company, own ing the Copper Hill group of mines; was interested in the lease and bond on a mining property at the head of Min eral and Pinto creeks, this county, and was the owner of property in Globe Globe Silver Belt.

ANGER CAUSES PREMATURE AGE
Discolored Skin and Wrinkles Pro
 duced by Rage and Sulkiness.

Don't let your angry passions rise, Christian. and usually unavailing, to give way to temper, but because a Partisan nerve specialist has of late discovered that the choleric individual prematurely than the more dispassion- ate and self-controlled sister.
 Parisian specialists don't jump at hasty conclusions. They observe and experiment with all types of women who are met with in their practice. This particular far-seeing, closely reas- oning gentleman has proved beyond contradiction that all unnatural agita- tions of the mind disorder the whole system, the digestion even, and in turn, the skin, hair and eyes are injuriously affected.
 Anger, he says, in two of it's phases, is one of the most common forms of mental agitation among modern women of the upper and we'll to do classes, who fail to realize that there are three dis tinct manifestations of this passion, ev- cry one deleterious to the health of the body as we'll as to the soul.
 The types of anger most frequently indulged in today are fretting and sulk- ing. These are professionally known as anger habits and are quite as in- sidious and difficult to cure gusts of tempestuous rage, which, while more acutely dangerous, are not half so com mon.

 Fretting especially wrings all the es- sentiai oil out of a woman's complexion and dries up the blood in the tiny veins that lie so near the surface as to nour- ish her cheeks with color. The first and characteristic wrinkles of a fretter are two deep lines running diagonally across her forehead and fine thread-like puckers gathering at her lips. Eventu- ally, if the habit is not checked, her whole face becomes scanned with lines that might have been etched with the finest cambric needle, and the chronic neuralgia that steady fretting encour ages, produces most unhealthy pallor. The sulky woman is invariably the victim of jealousy as we'll and one Of her ugly hall marks is peculiar red ness of the eyelids. She wrinkles just as soon and just as rapidly as her peev~ ish fellow patient, but the wrinkles grow heavy and deep as time goes on. and are simply ineradicable. The worst and most significant wrinkles are deep and perpendicular folds between her brows and curving from the base of her nose about her lips. No facial mas sage or steaming can rub away these outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual evil. They are as differ-

TUCSON INDEBTEDNESS
Application to the Loan Commission
 Yesterday for 1ts Refunding.

A meeting of the territorial loan commission was held yesterday mainly for the purpose of hearing an applica- tion for the funding of a bonded in debtedness of Tucson amounting to $12.000 and a floating indebtedness Of s35, 900. The matter was presented to the commission by City Attorney John B. Wright and Mayor c. F. Schumach- CT of Tucson. The application was talk en under advisement.
 While the commission was in session it took the final step in the ordering Of the funding oi the so-called Pima county bonds which had been decided upon at meeting of the commission six years ago, an order being made for the exchanging of three per cent territorial bonds for the seven per cent Narrow Guage bonds and their un- immediately accepted by the represen- tatievs of the bondholders. Some Of them desired to communicate with their principals but they said that if it could be shown to them that the three per cent bonds could be sold for par they had no doubt that they would be accepted.
 Since then the holders of the bonds have signified their willingness to ac- cept them and Judge Barnes who rep resents the most extensive holders was before the commission yeterday morn ing.
 Governor Brodie at once began affix- ing his signature to the new bonds. They are the first 8 per cent bonds ever issued by this territory. There are few states which have been able to dispose of bonds of so low a rate of interest Just what they will bring in the mar ket remains to be found out but the territory's per cents, issued not long ago on account of the university brought 1O9.

INSIDE STORY OF SURRENDER
Richard Harding Davis Tells How He
 Captured and Governed Coami.

This is the inside story of the surren- der, during the Spanish war, of the town of Coamo, as given by Richard Harding Davis, in Golfers. It is writ ten by the man to whom the town was surrendered. Immediately after the sur. render this same man became military governor of Coamo. He held office for fully twenty minutes.
 Before beginning this story the read CT must forget all he may happen Go know of this particular triumph of tn Porto Rican expedition. He must for get that the taking of Coamo has al- ways been credited to Major General James H. Wilson, who, on that occas- ion, commanded Captain Anderson's battery, the Sixteenth Pennsylvania, Troop c, of Brooklyn, and the Second and third Wisconsin volunteers, under General Ernst. He must forget tia. in the records of the war department all the praise. and it is of the highest, for this victory is bestowed upon General Wilson and his 4OOO soldiers. Even the writer of this. when he cabled an ac- count of the event to his paper, gave, with everyone else, the entire credit to General Wilson. And ever since his conscience has upbraided him. His only claim for tolerance as a war cor respondent has been that he always has stuck to the facts. and now he feels that in the sacred cause of History his friendship and admiration for General Wilson. that hero of the civil, Philip pine and Chinese wars, must no longer stand in the way of his duty as an ac- curate reporter. He no longer can tell a lie. He must at last own up that he himself captured Coamo.
 One of them spoke to me the few words of Spanish with which I had an acquaintance. He told me that he was the alcalde, and that he begged to sur- render into my hands the town of Co., amo I led him instantly to one side. was afraid that if I did not take him up he would surrender it to Paget or Jimmy. I bade him conduct me to his official residence. He did so. and gave me the key to the carcel, a staff of of
 flee of gold and ebony, and the flag Of the town, which he had hidden behind his writing desk. It was fine Spanish flag with the coat--of-arms embroider- ed in gold. I decided that, with what ever else I might part, that flag would always be mine, that the chance of my again receiving the surrender of a town of 5000 people was slender. and that this token would be wrapped around me in my coffin. I accordingly hid it in my poncho and strapped to

those old, laundering, hard-kicking, vide-shooting affairs that live in the memory of old men who loved to hunt in the sos. It had seen hard usage, the barrels were rusty and fracture in the stock had been mended with wire. The effect of a man coming with such gun among the loafers at Tightwad w2s the same as if a man were to ride along d city street on an old time high wheeled bicycle. Silas plainly felt the ignominy of his possession and to the first raillerv was explanatory and apologetic.
 Its hoss on me-" said he, "a grown up white man totin' around such a thing as this here. But I met a boy this mornin' what had owed me three dollars nigh on two years. He has this gun and offers it to me to square up. I knowed it was all I'd ever git and I just up and took it. I'll sell it, I reck- on, and, anyhow, it'll shoot just as good as ary other gun, once't it's loaded"
 But repetition of this statement grew tiresome. Every now and then rew fellow came up and added a variation to the torment. From patient answers Silas progressed to short ones and then to angry ones. At length he confined himself to the one lurid command You go to he'll
 At this moment, when Silas' temper was at blood yearning point, Big Tobe foreman of McAdoo's ranch. dropped from his horse and, seeing something going on, joined the crowd of torment ors. No term could more fitly apply to it's owner than Big Tobe. He was SIX feet high and nearly three feet wide. He carried around 25O pounds of bone and flesh that could not be dented with an ax In all the world there are no such gifted boys who follow the COW, and among these Big Tobe was the king Besides, when he stood before Silas and sized up the antiquated shot gun, it was plain to all that Big Tobe had had a dram or two, just enough to be we'll primed and full of audacity. , When he saw the gun he strengthened up and reared back in a comical atti- tude of sham fright and puzzled sur prise. He chassezed to one side as though at an dance, and gazed in- tently at the muzzle of the thing. Down he went on all fours and squinted up the barrels, while his face plainly show ed immense surprise at finding them hollow. Everybody laughed except Si- las and Big Tobe. Silas jammed the old gun close up to Big Tobe's face, right under his nose.
 Smell it," he shouted. Maybe that

A GUN TEST AT LOCKWOOD
Big Lobe Offered Himself as Target
 for the Old Shotgun.

Pomela, Tex, is simply Tarwater's s as Tightwad, by reason of the domin- ating characteristic of old man Ter water. The store is long, one-story frame building, with long gallery i'll front. All about is the low, flat coun- try of the gulf coast. Behind Tar waters is an immense swamp. where early in the morning mists arise and pig bull alligators can be heard roaring "A great place it is for hunters and fisher : men. In the canebrakes are black pear

Tightwad is the one central resort of the community, the business exchange and the loaf:r:, ground Anything going on there Is sure to have it's byStanders and specta- tors. But behind the times, and un- modern as the Tightwadders are in general, in one respect they are an exception. In the matter of firearms they always manage to have the best, the latest improved and know how to use them. Accuracy and dexterity with the rifle, the shot gun and the re- volver is something which every Tight wadder begins to strive for as soon IS he settles down into his first brooches.
 Up to Tightwad one autumn morn ing rode Silas ReXroat on his well known calico pony. He hitched the pony to the rack and sat down on the edge of the gallery with his feet hang ing over. The bystanders and spec tators had casually noticed his coming when far away, and had just as casual ly remarked that he was carrying a gun.

The Simpleton Tunnel Nearing Com
 pletion.

Two years from the present time will see the completion of the longest tun- nel in the world-the Simplon.
 Reports that the tremendous work would have to be abandoned because of unforeseen difficulties are now known to have been falsely circulated without any reasonable basis of fact. United States Consul Richmond Pearson, at Genoa, has investigated the matter and made the following report to the state department:
 "In my report of last March, upon the authority of an American engineer, I stated that such serious obstacles had been encountered in the south side of made, and that the loca ton of the line would proba bly, have to be changed.
 My examination, on the spot remov- ed all doubts on this score. The work Ia progressing rapidly in the tunnel on both sides of the Alps. About 4OOO workmen are now employed in the tun- mel, and not less than 5000 on the Ital- ian section of the road between Isella, at the mouth of the tunnel, and Arona, the present terminus of the railway running north from Milan. It is now ora actically certain that the road will he completed within the estimated time that is to say by July l, 19O5-as nearly two-thirds of the tunnel was finished on July 1, 1902, and the worst obstacles have already been met and mastered.

 As to the thoroughgoing virago, the most careless physician cannot fail to detect her weakness in the deadly pal for or ugly mottled pink of her com plexiOn. The excitement of her pas sionate moments produces the most amazing irregularities in her heart ac- tion. and she suffers in consequence.
 But, says the Paris specialist, all women who have the anger habit in any form age quickly and grow gray prematurely. The color goes first from the lips, and then leaves the hair, and finally the cheeks. The steady irrita- tion of the nerves affects the gastric juices and the stomach fails to do it's proper work, and a woman thus be- comes old and invalided before her time all by her own deliberate self-indul- gence.
 The only cure the specialist suggests is the turning over of a host of reso- lutions and a determined effort to try to gain the beauty of serenity and the habit of good natured smiling. The mental headers and Christian Scientists he says, work wonderful cures in cases of nervous prostration and chronic in- digestion, mainly because so many ot the sufferers from these ailments are merely taught habits of philosophy and self-control.

Pupil Teff Years Old Admits His
Guilt and Says He Started
Blaze to "Get Hunk on Sassy
Teacher"
1,5O0 PUPILS WERE IN PERIL.

Eddie Is one Of the bad boys OF the
school, the teachers Say. During the
past torn he has been transferred to
three different rooms IN an effort to
ind some teacher who might lead him
20 abandon his proclivities for raising
.owS during school hours.
Jlis last teacher was Miss Phillips, OF
the second primary grade. She was
not much more successful than the
others, and yesterday when young Luke
cut up so persistently she was forced to
send him to the principal, Henry Lud-
wig, jr for Il lecture.
Mr.. Lud Wig was not In his office at
the time and the boy started back He
cut up monkey shines alr the way and
made Il terrible racket In the halls. As
he passed through the class room of
Miss Edna Campbell in the third pri-
mary grade he scuffled his feet and
leered at pupils who were lined up for
the morning visit to the gymnasium.
Miss Campbell spoke sharply to the
hoy and led her class out. When MSS
Campbell returned with her charges Il
lew minutes later flames were coming
from the clothes closet The teacher
sounded the alarm and l,5OO pupIis in
the building formed in tre drill and
marched out safely.
The fire was put out without great
trouble. 1t was then found that young
Luke was missing. When he reached
school to-day he was accused of setting
the fire. He denied it stoutly at first,
but when policeman was called in ne
admitted that"he was the culprit.
Il did 1t to get hunk on that sassy
teacher" he added. II don't like to
have her call me down that way In
front OF all the kids, and l just thought
I'G burn up her old room"
