The Road Runner .t work

George Watts, Sam Kline, Peter
Butts and Charley Connus Of Bisbee
were out prospecting on the Tombstone
road in the neighborhood of the Old
Sandy Bob ranch, and while in the
course of hunting for monuments their
attention was attracted to the actions
OF a road runner that seemed to be very
much excited, jumping up and down in
the ak. drawing nearer they
discovered a large rattler coiled up.
The bird would drop quickly upon the
RATHER and prick him with a piece of
cactus in its feet and then drop the
same near the RATHER. This was kept
up over an hour until the bird complet.
ed a circle of cactus around the snake,
1t then systematically pecked the snake
on the head until the rattler was dead.
The gentlemen brought back eight rat.

walks, cases where the city has as
sumed the Indebtedness OF laying a
cement walk where it was condemned
and the owner did not comply with
the proceedings in the case. From
the treasurer's books it was ascer-
tanned that there was about $l,S00
due the city in this way. A resolu-
tion was adopted authorizing the city
attorney to commence action at once
to collect these assessments.
Attention was, called to the council
by a member that the buildings and
walk on the alley between west Sec
ond and west Third street had not
been removed, notwithstanding the
resolution that was passed some time
ago demanding the removal OF such
property from. the alley ground. A
resolution was adopted ~instructing
the chief Of police to at once remove
these distractions.
The ordinance which was recently
passed requiring that all outside
/ water closets standing On property
east and west Of the alley off Of Main
street be removed by July J., was
again read and the chief Of police
was instructed to have notices print
ed at once to serve on the people who
are directly interested. 1t seems to
be the sense Of the council that this
ordinance shall not remain a dead
letter on the city statutes, but that
it shall be executed in all cases. The
ordinance requires that all water
closets within the district mentioned
shall be connected with the city

The American Farmer,

When the American farmer rises ear
~ in the morning it is to look over
broad and fertile acres that are his
own. When he goes forth it is to fields
that no human being can lawfully step
upon without his consent. When he
gathers and gamers the harvest he
stores what In q vast majority of cases
no greedy and rapacious landlord can
take from him. 1t is all his. The pro-
ceeds Of it are to clothe and feed him
and his family and educate his chill
dren, to, be the support of his. old age
and the heritage of his posterity. Look
ed at from every point Of view, it is
doubtful if there is another human be-
ing under the heavens who has more
cause for carrying a light heart and a
contented mind, for regarding the past
with satisfaction and the future with
hope, than the American farmer.-Kan-

KINGS ARE COMMON.
In the Creek Country Alone There
r Are Twenty-Five.

In the Creek Country Alone There
Are Twenty-Five.
Kings are very common in the Indian
Territory. In fact, they are so common
that no attention is paid to them. and
their movements excite no comment
whatever. In the Creek country alone
there are twenty-five real live kings.
Nero Drew is a fair sample Of them.
Each one mas a kingdom to look after.
and it keeps him busy doing it.
The title does not descend from IA
Their to son, as it does in the efsate Eu-
ropean monarchies. The Indians elect
their w kings. The tenure OF Office
Is two years. However, whenever an
Indian is chosen king and serves his
people well he is usually reelected
without opposition. Some of the old
kings in the Greek Nation have been at
the head of their Kingdoms for forty
years or more. Nero Drew has been a
king for thirty-six years.
The Greek Nation is dividen into TWEEN
ty-fve towns. which is about the same
as a township in the states. Each town
has a king, whose duty it is to look aft
er the Indians of his town. He has no
power to spend their money or to COM
mand them to do anything. His pow
ers are somewhat paternal. He looks
after the sick and sees that they have
medical attention; he cares for the poor
and decrepit. When any of his subjects
get into trouble he gives them fatherly
advice and frequently appeals to the
federal authorities to show them mer-
cy. He advises with his subjects on all
matters pertaining to their interests.
In truth, he is their worldly adviser;
sometimes he is their spiritual adviser
also, for occasionally the Indians elect
a preacher as king.
Indian kings are not very well COM
pensated. They get no salary. 1t is a
labor Of love with them. The only pos
sible show they have of getting any
money out Of the Office is through bood-
ling at elections. In this respect the In
dams are not behind the times. They
Doodle the same as other people. Elec-
tons sometimes come high to the candi-
dates. Town kings are usually quite
influential among the people of their
kingdom, and they command a fairly
good price for their influence at cleo
tons. Most of them are full blood In
dams. Some, however, are mixed bloods.

DIPLOMACY
Still On Tap At Washington
City.
Venezuela and the Allies Still
Striving To See Who Shall
Have the UnderhOld.

The controversy over Venezuelan
affairs still occupies public atten-
tion, yet makes but little progress,
One day it seems that an amicable
agreement has been reached. but the
next day some new difficulty arises,
and all progress is blocked, and the
war cloud gets darker. And this is
repeated, again and again. During
the week, the situation has been
critical, because Germany and Eng
land insisted that the ir claims should
be paid in full before those of other
nations were considered. This
brought protests from France, Mexi-
co, the United States and other ma
tions, and Mr.. Bowen, the Represen-
tative of Venezuela, answered with
the ultimatum that this could not be
conceded. It now looks as If Eng
land and Germany would accept d
three month preference. and let II
go at that. The German Emperor
thinks Mr.. Bowen, as the Representa-
tive of Venezuela, is too chic. Ht
evidently can hold his own in diplo
macy.

PrOteStdntiSm In Manila.

There are now seventeen Protes-
tant chapels in the city of Manila
while the Catholic churches number
but twenty-five. 1t is not a simple
matter at this distance to determine
how much reliance may be placed
upon the character of the native
priests who seem eager to join the
new antipapalrevolt, nd are most bit
ter toward the old regime. Aglipay,
the newly chosen head of Philippine
Catholicism, declares it is the inten-
tion of the native priesthood to re-
iustate the Bible in its place of hon.
or and to recognize it alone as the
seat of authority. The friars have
not dared to return to their long
abandoned parishes, except under
military protection. The most hope
full sign about the situation is the
practically unanimous demand of the
natives that Governor Taft shall re-
main with them although offere d
marked political preferment at home.
1t looks as though Luzon was becom-
ing Americanized more rapidly than
we had dared to hope.-The Interior.

Annual Report.
DIR. H. C. Rutter Says a Few SharI
Words in an Interview.
DR.. H. C. Rutter Says a Few Sharp
Words i'm an Interview.

The annual report of the trustees
of the Gallipolis Epileptic Asylum
has stirred up good deal of interest
at Gallipolis, Columbus and through
out the State.
If the reports of the trustees and
the new superintendent, DR.. Ohl-
macher are true, it would be well to
turn the Ohio river, through the Gal
lipolis institution and wash it out of
existence.
The substance of their report is
that the buildings were poorly con-
structed, badly furnished, and lily
adapted to the work, and some of
them unsafe; that the water works
system is a failure, and that the
''cures" reported as having occurred
there, were mythical. The new build.
ings, it is said, fall far short of being
worth what they cost. All this is a
fling at the old superintendent, DR.
Rutter, and the old Board of Trus-
tees.
DR.. Rutter, being interviewed al
Columbus, says that if affairs at the
Gallipolis asylum are as reported,
the new board and superintendent
are responsible, and should be al
once removed from Office. The new
buildings were finished after the new
board came in; the Contractors were
under bond and responsible, large
amount of money had been held bacl
till the completion of the buildings
and if the buildings were not up II
specifications, the new board were
responsible for receiving them off tn,
hands of the contractors.
| As to the old buildings, the Docto
says they were constructed by tn,
former board, which was composed
of such men as Gov. Nash, E. S. viii
son, I. F. Mack, r. II. Brown an,
other well known men, who are anon,
the best and most upright men in tn
State.
The Doctor says if the buildings
furniture, ETC., were in such bad con
dition when they were turned over t
the new board, it is strange the
made no mention of it in their frs
report; year ago.
| Altogether, his interview leave
the new board and the new superiI
tendent in a questionable position.

SOUSA CHARMS THE KING.
Bandmaster Highly Complimented
by Royalty.

London, Feb. AT the concert
given by Sousa's band at Windsor
Castle, Saturday evening, in the
presence of the royal family, King
Edward asked for encores of several
of the pieces played. The whole
court stood while the band rendered
''The Star Spangled Banner" and
God Save the King" At the close
of the concert their majesties ad-
vanced and shook hands and compl:-
mented Sousa. The King inquired
how long the band was to remain in
England, and said:
Il shall have you again, and want
all American music on the program
next time
BY the Kings desire, Mrs. Sousa
was then presented to their majes
ties. The Prince of Wales conversed
with Sousa, and promised to attend
his concert when the band returned
to London in April.
An elaborate supper was served tt
the members of the band.
