THE NAME OF THE DEAD
The Old Man Whose Body Was Found
 Near Peoria, 1. D. Mack.

An inquest was held by Justice Bur nett yesterday in the death of the old man whose body was found near Peoria on Thursday morning. It was learned that his name was l. D. Mack but that is all that could be found out about him. That information was furnished by the man whom Deputy Sheriff Widmer sent back to his camp at Agua Fria to bring in his effects left there and the five burros belonging to him and which had strayed down to Peoria.
 There was found at the camp letter signed by I. D. Mack. addressed to Mrs. Fanny Pogue of Tucson. It had not been stamped, Mack evidently in tending to mail it at Peoria. There was also dictionary with the name of I. D. Mack in it. He had beside the burros a complete prospector's out it and part of the outfit of an assayer.
 Mrs. Pogue to whom the letter was addressed is a colored woman of Tue son who has been successfully operat- ing in mines in all parts of this terri tory and Sonora for several years. She. formerly lived at Walnut Grove and the letter Mack referred to one of her properties in that district.
 The jury which had examined the body the night before when it was brought in returned a verdict that death had resulted from natural causes.
 After tho inquest Herman Aagaard, the well known mining man who has been operating in the northern part of the territory called at the office of the Justice to see if the dead man was a man who had beer at his camp few days before. That man had five bur ros which MT. Aagaard said he would recognize. One was a pinto and >another had a bullet hole in it's side
 paicted by the owner one night in a t of anger.
 When he was told about the letter to Mrs. Pogue MT. Aaagaard was sure that the dead man was the man who had been at his camp for he had been in correspondence with her about the property. He did not, however. re- member the name of the prospector.
 He went to see the burros which had been left at the Burger corral but they were not the ones he had seen at his camp.
 The property of the dead man will be held for a few days to give any partner he may have time to come in and put in claim. In the event of the non-appearance of any it will be sold.

"Preciousi in the sight of the Lord

"Preciousin the sight Of the Lord
is the death of his saints"
The spirit of Mrs. Savannah
, Pryne Jones calmly passed into
eternity on August 9th, 1908, al
the home of her daughter, Mrs. j,
NJ. Whitworth, Searcy, Ark. Earth
claimed her for sixty-seven years,
five months and two days, pre-
paratory to an eternity in glory.
Her life was an epistle known and
read of all with whom she asso-
ciated. She lived in an atmos-
phere of prayer and communion
with her Maker. Her last illness
was characterized by a sweet
resignation to Gods will, and her
beautiful expressions linger with
loved mes as precious benedic-
tons.
To eulogize would be to invade
the sanctity of the inner life of her
who walked humbly with her God;
who counted not the applause of
this world, but rather yearned for
San inheritance incorruptible and
indebted and that fadeth not
away" The pen is impotent to
portray a life, which, in itself, is
sufficient encomium.
A daughter, a step-daughter-
whom she loved as her own-four
grandchildren and a sister survive
the husband, DR.. Jones, and an
infant having gone on before.
Other neal and dear relatives and
friends tenderly loved her and will
ever revere her memory.
The heart goes out in sympathy
to them all, especially to the
daughters, who mourn a mothers
unfailing affection. May the sweet
incense from her beautiful Christ
ian experiences, her prayers and
counsel hover about the bereaved
to comfort and sustain while "He
giveth His beloved sleep"

THE COTNFIL-

The fIst proceeding of the council was the adoption of a resolution au- thorizing the governor to employ a clerk. The next was the adoption Of a resolution offered by Mr. Ashurst giving the press the privilege of the floor of the house. Mir. Ashurst also introduced a resolution providing for the appointment of the special commit tees for the investigation Of the terri torial institutions. It contemplated five committees to consist of two mem bers each on the part of the council and three on the part of the house. The institutions were grouped as follows: The territorial prison, the university; the hospital for the insane and the capitol building and grounds: the northern normal school: the reform school and the Tempe normal school. It also authorized the investigation of all the territorial offices and gave the members of the committee authority to send for persons, books and papers. The resolution which was a joint one was adopted and the following appoint ments were made under it: The nor nal school, Messrs. Rice and Childs; the territorial prison Messrs. White sides and Ashurst; the university, MessTs. Morehead and Jarvis; the re- form school and the Tempe Normal school Messrs. Kibbey and Woods: the asylum Messrs. Packard and Corbett. The committees are so arranged that 10 member from any County may be a member of the committee to investi- gate an institution located in his county.

One little thing occurred yesterday which shows that the lower house of the legislature intends to insist upon it's rights and privileges even though they have not been clearly established The first council bill sent over was indefinitely postponed and another oi the same intent was passed. IL was the customary measure making 4ppro- priations to defray the expenses of the committees appointed to visit the vari- ous territorial institutions and offices. When the bill was passed by the coun- cil there was an expectation that it would be turned down by the house but the experiment of sending it over vas tried.

 when concurrent resolution came in
 for the appointment of James Coughlin
 postmaster, it was amended by the
 substitution of the name of John 4.
 Brady. That amendment was after
 ward recOnsidered. The council made another move in the direction of state
 hood by deciding to send greeting to
 the legislatures of the following states
 and ask the exercise of their Influence 1 in the passage Of the statehood bill: Ohio, New York. Illinois, Minnesota, Maryland, New Hampshire. Utah. Wy cming, South Dakota.

Provision was made for the payment O; the telegraph tolls on the messages to these legisla- 1 lures.
 It had been the notion of the council | to adjourn until next Monday and resolution for such an adjournment was introduced but it was withdrawn when word was received that the house would not pass the council bill for de fraying the expenses of the committees i When the council did finally adjourn i it fixed an hour for reassembIing, II a. m. unless some other hour should be definitely mentioned

HINT oF A LoNG SESSION.

Washington January 2O.-The senate today passed the legislative. executive and judicial appropriation bills. When the statehood bill was taken up Quay demanded an immediate vote, coup ling his demand with q statement that he did not care whether any senators desired to speak on the subject or not. The bill. he said, was being wilfully ob- structed by discussion. BeVeridge de- nied this, and then discussed the meas ure. opposing statehood for Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico. On the conclusion of his remarks. Quay sub mitted a number of propositions for fixing the day when a vote could be taken.
 He asked unanimous consent to have a vote taken January 24, January 29, February 4, February 10 or February F. to all of which Beveridge objected.
 Quay then gave notice that tomor- row at the close Of the morning busi- ness he would move to take up the statehood bills and he might asx the senate Go remain in session until some agreement for d vote was reached. Hanna spoke in opposition to state hood. At 4:55 the senate went into executive session and a few minutes later adjourned.
