Mrs. Kempton grew more and more
low spirited till finally her health be-
gan to droop. Her husband knew the
cause, though she did not tell him, and
often wished that he could recall his
s)n, though he feared that he had coll
tinued in a downward course and the
sight of him would kill his mother.
This was the condition Of Robert and
Mabel Kempton just before Thanks
giving. There was no need for Robert
to request his wife not to make the
usual prepare tons, for she was I'M
able to do SO. She had been losing
strength rapidly and finally took to

But this is not the beginning of the

perhaps to die for you"
''You are doing all that is needed in
making me happy" said the wife.
Then came Bobbie Kempton, bright
eyed, sunny disposed little chap who
was his mothers darling and his ia
TIERS pride. Mabel fed him, bathed
him, clothed him, gave him his airing
during the day, and before he went to
sleep in the evening his father romped
with him.
When Bob came to be about fifteen
he began to show signs of the procliv-
tiles his father had shown in his youth
and thus brought sorrow to his par
ents. Mabel was patient with him,
and so was his father for time, but
Bob grew more unruly, more reckless.

That the farmers are aroused and
are in earnest in the matter seems evil
dent. The farmers of Texas are being
unionized at a rapid rate. There are
today 5000 unions in Texas, with a
total membership of 10000 or more,
aud the organization is spreading like
wild fire.
1t began at Emory, Raines county,
about ten months ago, under the
name of the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union of America, and is
now established in nearly every pop
ulous county in Texas. About the
middle of February next, a meeting
will be held for completing state or
ganization, and it is believed the
movement will spread to othter states.
The purpose of the union is to buy
and sell in bulk, to educate along ag-
ricultural lines, and to. eschew poll
tics, but to nevertheless discuss polit-
cal economV.

POSTAL INVESTIGATIONS.

The publication of the condensed
report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow, accompanied by a
memorandum by President Roosevelt,
the postal scandals, but it throws
much light upon the manner in which
the investigations have been carried
on. No one who reads it can fail to
be convinced of the able, thorough
and impartial manner in which the
dishonest transactions, begun by
Machen in 1893, during President
Cleveland's administration, and last
ing up to within the last few months,
we're exposed regardless of the prom
inence and political influence of those
concerned.
When, in January, the president
was first informed of the condition of
affairs in the post Office department,
he gave Nr. Bristow full power to
carry out a relentless investigation,
in which he was aided by forty in
spectors. For many months they
worked hard and faithful. The rec
ords- of 1000 postoffices were examined,
and the files of many divisions of the
department for the last years were
scrutinized. As result four officers
of the department have resigned and
thirteen have been removed. Forty
four indictments have been found, in
volving thirty one persons. The total
amount which the dishonest officials
received by fraudulent means is about
800, 900, but this amount is small
compared to the loss of the govern
ment by the purchasing of unneces-
sary or inferior supplies at exorbitant
rates. This amount cannot be accu-
rately estimated.
In his review of the report, the
president expresses thorough satisfac-
ton with the work of Mr.. Bristow and
makes plain the intention of the ad-
ministration to do all possible to
bring the offenders, officials and 9th
ers, to justice. He approves the rec
ommendation of Special Counsel
Bonaparte and Conrad that the statute
of limitations be extended in the case
of government servants to a period of
at least five years. The attorney gen.
eral will recommend such a law in his
report to congress. The president
rightly says, "No crime calls for
sterner reprobation than the crime of
the corruptionist in public life and of
the man who seeks to corrupt him.
The bride giver and the bride taker
are equally guilty."
Opponents of the administration,
who hope to make political capital
out of the postal frauds, should re-
member that President Roosevelt is
entitled to the credit of directing one
of the most thorough investigations of
public corruption, which has yet been
made.

BATTLING CONSUMPTION.

According to recently published
statement in the New York Herald,
since 1881 the death rate from pull
monary tuberculosis in New York city
has fallen from Al per 1000 to 30
per cent. This is set forth in circu-
lar of information just issued regard
ing the measures adopted by he
board of health for the sanitary sup
ervision of tuberculosis in the city
of New York.
Since the disease was recognized as
infectious the board registers all cases
of pulmonary tuberculosis at the de-
partment of health; furnishes instruc-
tions as to measures to prevent infec-
ton; disinfects or orders the renova-
ton of all premises which have been
occupied by persons suffering from
the disease; provides as far as pos
sible charitable assistance or hospi-
tai care for cases needing it; educates
the general public as to the nature
of the disease, the precautions to be
taken against this spread and the sd-
visibility of institution and sanitar-
ium treatment.

Burglar COnfesses.

Justice of the Peace Bosche came w
from Congress this morning with q
prisoner by the name of Juan Reiva,
who is bound over to await the action
of the grand jury on charge of bur
glary. Reiva broke into the cellar of
Hugh Stevens saloon and stole several
hundred cigars and also several bot
ties of liquor. A watch out was kept
for the thief until he attempted to
sell some of the stuff when the
officers gObbled onto him. After he
had been in Jail for several hours Mr..
Bosche went to him and told him the
best thing he could do was to confess
and return the stolen articles, which
he agreed to. He then went with the
officers ana showed them where the
stuff was hid, which certainly was a
safe place. There was an old safe
which had been in a fire and he had
turned this face down over the liquor
and cigars, and no one would have
looked there for them in ten years.
The case will probably be acted
upon by the grand jury when it re-
on the Dist of this month.

enough to name a number of these ri
walls for the nomination. Every one
knows that all this talk about opposi-
tion to President Roosevelt emanate
in democratic papers, for the purpose
of trying to get it to spread to the
party which the president belongs.
That there are men in the republi.
can party who would like to see
Roosevelt defeated there is no doubt
No man yet ever gave perfect and en-
tire satisfaction to all men, even in
his own party. Besides there has been
a shaking up of grafters in Official
positions and grafters connected with
trusts which is naturally distasteful to
the parties shaken, but which makes
the president more solid with the
great mass of honest American citi-
zens.
Theodore Roosevelt will be the
next republican nominee for president
and he will be elected in spite of all
democratic opposition, before or after
his nomination.

WISH, PARENT TO THOUGHT.

Our esteemed and able contempor-
airy, the Tucson Citizen, in a very in
geniously constructed editorial of
nearly a column in length tells how
an effort is being made to defeat Pres
ident Roosevelt for the nomination.
The editorial is rather complimentary
than otherwise to Mr.. Roosevelt, the
only political sin of which he is &C
cused is that of success. 1t goes on to
relate how he entered politics a few
years ago full of ambition, hope and
energy and how he succeeded in each
successive step of his career until he
has reached the highest position at
tainable by an American citizen, all
of which is very nice, as it is history,
and it is complimentary to the indi-
vidual. The ingeniousness of the
article is its forecast of the future,
and its story of the efforts which are
being made to defeat his nomination
next year.
1t leaves the inference to be drawn
from the article that these efforts are
the result of dissatisfaction in his
own party, and the Citizen is kind

The thirty five miles of roadway at
the Worlds Fair have been practi-
cally finished.
The Georgia Weekly Press associa-
ton will bold its next annual meet
ing at the Worlds Fair during the
week of May 16, 1904.
Work is progressing rapidly on Bra
zil's Pavilion at the Worlds Fair. 1t
will be one of the largest and finest
foreign government buildings. 1t will
cost $3.50, 600.
In the reproduction of Jerusalem
at the Worlds Fair already more than
200 distinct buildings have been
erected. The site covers twelve acres
and all buildings will be ready for use
when the exposition opesn April so.
The installation of the sculpture on
the Palace of Electricity at the
Worlds Fair has brought out all of
the architectural beauty of that NAM
moth structure.
The buildings at the Worlds Fair
are now concentrating their efforts
on The Pike. Several of the largest
concessions are already constructed
and scores of others are being built in
record breaking time. The Pike has
been paved its entire length with
vitrified brick.
With December at the Worlds Fair
began the installation of exhibits.
Nearly all of the great exhibit palaces
are finished and have been turned over
to the exhibits departments. Only
the mines, manufacturing and for
estry, fish and game buildings are in
complete.
The Worlds Press Parliament, which
will be held at the Worlds Fair will

.UNWATER|NG OF
THE GREAT PECK
Mine in the Bradshaw
Mountains.
This Old Time Famous Producer Is
Once More Scene of Great
Activity.

On Tuesday last the whistle blew
and the machinery moved for the first
time in many years at the famous
Great Peck mine in the Bradshaws.
The fact that the Great Peck is
about to be unwatered will be read
with interest by most all the old
timers around this vicinity, as the
prevailing opinion among mining men
seems to be that the Great Peck if
properly handled in the future will
yet see its best days.
When the lower levels, now about
to be unwatered, were last worked by
the Peck Mining company, the Peck
was not only the largest producer in
this section of the country, but was
probably one of the richest chloride
of silver mines the world has ever
seen. After fire, which destroyed
the hosting works, and a heavy in
rush of water occurring almost stimuli
taneously, little seems to have been
attempted in the way of work, al
though the upper levels of the mine
have been leased from time to time
when rich ore was extracted which
yielded handsome profits.
The mine was recently purchased by
Henry b. Clifford, of New York, who
is we'll known amcng US as a man of
both energy and ability, and under his
able management bright future for
this celebrated old property may be
looked for.
The general character of the ore
found is a chloride of silver, ship
ping as high as 80, 900 per ton, while
rich sulphides have also been found
on the lower levels.
While silver predominates, an in
crease in gold values is noticeable
with depth.
The machinery and pumping plant
recently installed is considered ade-
quate for all purposes and while the
familiar pack trains will no longer be
seen coming from the Peck to Pres
colt loaded with ore or bullion, as the
railroad now runs Within mile anG
a half from the mine, still Yavapai
county will watch with keen interest
the future development of this proper
ty, which has been more talked o.
than any mine in the entire south

A Job With Drawbacks.

I'd like to be the sultan,
With thirty wives or more
To quickly do my bidding,
To ope and shut the door;
With one to darn my stockings
And one to brush my hat,
And one to bring my paper,
And one for my cravat;
With one to wash my tootsies
And one to dry the same,
With one to cook my pancakes
And one to roast the game;
With ten to mind the babies
When l would take a nap.
Id like to the the sultan;
The job must be a snap.
I'd like to be the sultan
But let me think a bit
With thirty different women
How long would l be it?
While one of them was pouting
And one of them was cross
And one of them was weeping
Because she couldn't boss,
And one of them was sulking
And one was breaking plates
To show her independence
Before her pretty mates;
With ten of them declaring
To ma right home they'd go
If hats were not forthcoming
And tickets for the show,
| doubt if | could handle
With pleasure such a mob.
