DEMOCRACY ON THE VERDE

Camp Verde, Oct. 5.-Editor Jour- l-Miner: The democratic candi- dates had a rather small rally here on the 4th. There were present Col. Will son, Jim Lowry, Roland Mosher and MT. J. B. Jolly. MT. Frank Stock acted as chairman and in a few nice introductory remarks admonished the audience not to spit on the floor.
 Col. Wilson came forward and pro ceeded to unwind his eight day clock on tariff, statehood, joint statehood, Mark Smith and Fowler. He never spoke standard. Went into the trusts and showed they were all republicans and money makers. Wilson lauded ex-Gov. Oakes Murhpy to the skies, also Col. Brodie, and their efforts in behalf of the people to prevent joint statehood. He spoke of Mark Smith travelling 3006 miles to help him, in fact in all his remarks about Smith he spoke of him in connection with his own service; He advised every one to vote for Mark Smith as a rebuke to the republican house for trying to put us in with the New Mexican sheep herders.
 MT. Fowler is man in close touch with the present administration and as look at the political situation and the condition of the country there is DO political event that has not already taken place that is more certain than that President Roosevelt will succeed himself and MT. Fowler can do more to prevent joint statehood than any democrat. The proper people and county are in no condition to receive or provide for another Coxey's tramp army that Cleveland gave us all the touch of high life we want on that score. In my next 1 will tell you of the 10000 cattle thieves and now they are held in check by twenty rangers, four seargents, a captain and lieuten- ant. G. W. Hance.

that there is not a better one to be seen anywhere, and no expense has l been overlooked to give the enterprise a due regard in every way that money i is capable of. This is tEe third city ! in Arizona this company has been fav- ored with. and while the last never 1 theless it is the best and the most modern and secure. The capacity Of the plant will be 120, 900 cubic feet of gas a day, and it will be adapted for either light or fuel purposes. It is especially adapted for fuel, and the customary disagreeable odor is entire ly eliminated. The flame is also a bright one, and through the method of its manufacture an improvement over the usual conditions in heating is given. This will make it very de- sirable commodity in the home for any purpose desired in the line of fuel. Each jet will have capacity of twenty-two candle power.
 Over ten miles of pipe has been laid through the city and as soon as the stoves are received, the wants of pa trons will be given attention. Many orders are now in from residents of the city, who appreciate not only the con- venience of the method in cooking or heating, but the economical expense that is attendant. For these reasons the inauguration of this enterprise will be wholesomely regarded.
 The introduction of this system is a laudable one, also. It reflects the in dustriaI growth of Prescott in a con- vincing manner, and it fills ''long felt want" MT. Frank l.. Wright, of the Prescott electric company, is the spirit behind this movement, and in again giving the community the ad- vantage of modern and perfect utili- ties of corporate nature, he is to be commended in this instance as he has demonstrated in the others of kin dred nature, the unexcelled telephone service, the excellent system of elec- tric lighting, and the beginning ot great street railway enterprise. All of which echo that Prescott is to be modern in every way, and likewise is it to have a due and earnest regard extended it again in its progressive march onward.

Charley Clark of Jerome Speaks EmphaticaIIy to Hearst Papers.

The following is taken from the Los Angeles Herald, and bears the sigma ture of Charles W. Clark, covering the receLJ publication in the Los Angeles Examiner of the Laube incident, and which his father, Senator Clark, is said to be party to. c. w. Clark is a resident of Jerome, and in authorizing the publication of the dispatch is to be highly commended for hls manly expressions. The dispatch follows be- low:
 Jerome, Ariz, Oct. 9.-Charles W. Clark, son of Senator Clark, said to n Herald corre> pondent at the United Verde mine tuday, in reference to sI- ticles appeali g in Fridays Los Ange- les Examiner regarding the suit to be brought against his father by New York woman for breach of promise: "Anything hat appears in Hearst's unprinclpIed, blackmailing sheet is unworthy of the notice of intelligent people, and the senator IS probably unaware of the threatened sdit of which the Hearst sheets claim to have knowledge.

Our Industrial Advancement.

Through the courtesy of MT. George A. Campbell, the constructing engi- neer of the San Francisco light and fuel company, a representative of this paper was permitted to inspect the new gas plant of the Prescott electric company yesterday. For some months this enterprise has been under con- struction, and it is now practically completed. On Saturday or Monday next it will be given test, and after that date the service will be ready for its patrons.
 The process is known as the Lowe crude oil water gas and is a demon strated success. The plant in this city is also one of the first of that method to be introduced in the west, and in every respect it is the latest in scientific construction. Mechani- eally speaking, MT. Campbell says

w. N. KELLY.

The republican central committee of this county has selected William N. Kelly as its nominee for the office of justlce of the peace of Prescott pre- cinct, end its deliberations are for mally announced to this effect. There is not a more deserving man tor this office in Yavapai county than this man, and we believe that be will be successful at the polls also. He should be. MT. Kelly has been a resi- dent of Prescott from the day that the first log but was built, and in all those long and .trying years he has been citizen of the best tpye. Until few years ago he was identified with the mercantile interests of the city, and was one of the victims of tte cruel fire that wiped him and others out of business.
 In the sense that the people should show their appreciation of men offici- ally for what they have done industri ally, and that partisan favoritism should not discount true citizenship, the office that MT. Kelly seeks at this late day should be his by practically unanimous voice. It is due him alone on the grounds of fidelity, and ire spective of partisan strife, the ties that bind men in devotion to a party, should in this case be shattered into in drawing the line of presonal quail fication down to such a fine point that discrimination may wedge itself in between the new and the old resi- dent, an exception should be made however in choosing between the two men of the two parties for this office. Accordingly and in common with a universal feeling in this city, and of a non-partisan nature, the support of the community should be given MT. Kelly on the grounds of capability and under the conditions of long and useful residence. In addition to these matters, MT. Kelly is well qualified to administer the duties of the office, and there is not man with whom he is acquainted who will even question his conscientious regard of the rights of any who may be called before him. Every voter in Prescott should keep we'll in mind the candidacy of this gentleman.

THE DISTRESSING SCENES
THE HORRORS OF WAR AS SEEN ON THE BATTLEFIELD
 IN HUMAN MISERY.

Mukden, Oct. 14, 3:45 .m.-Fight- ing has ragged all day with the same bitterness as previous days engage ments. Result is still in the balance. Losses on both sides enormous, that of Russians being fifteen thousand.
 Wounded soldiers being brought in from all directions. Roads crowded with long trains of wagons, baggage and transport wagons, as we'll as am- balances being pressed into service.
 Even the Chinese two wheeled carts are filling the mandate of the mili- tary. Men afoot are limping and us- ing their guns as crutches, the less se- verely wounded are supporting their comrades after first aid of dressing on the firing line. Even across the fields one meets them taking the shortest cut and straightest road for help and shelter Stiffening with wounds, pain rid bodies sink to the roadside. In the distance sounds of the battle are still plainly heard. Rain has ceased and the sun is shining serenely.

There is but one issue in Yavapai county politics-that of the election of district attorney. We have one that has been nailed down good and hard on the question of the interests of the people. It IS Clark and the question of politics should not figure with the tax payer. If the system is to prevail to make the rich grow rich CT by evading taxation, support the democrat. If the already noisy tax payer does not want to. be still further garroted by the corporation wise, in escaping the money that is sacredly due, throw your full strentgh into the ballot box for the republican nominee for district attorney. It is time to look this matter squarely and fairly in the face on a financial basis. The poor mans dollar is just as good as the other fellows.

hundred people and his speech won him frieads among all classes. He was hailed as the man wanted in con- gress, and was introduced by Alfred Ruiz, who paid high compliment to his ability. He spoke Tuesday morL- ing to large and enthusiastic crowd at Concho. Mir. Ruiz talked in Span ish and was quite eloquent. They spoke at snowflake on Tuesday night when over three hundred heard the next delegate. Mir. Fowler's talks pleased the voters, who will give him a large majority. At Woodruff L. B. Devilbess, chairman of the county committee of Navajo county, intro duced Fowler. The meeting was held at the Big Dam site where many men are at work. All work quit for an hour to listen to an irrigation and statehood talk. Cheers, loud and frequent, greeted the speaker. Nearly all the democrats there will support Fowler, his visit having made fine impression.
 Following a series of four meet ings in Apache and Navajo counties, B. A. Fowler met with an en- thusiastic reception here tonight. The court house was crowded, over two hundred being present. The audience was eager then appreciative, then en- thusiastic, giving him a perfect ova- tion at the close. Two thirds of the voters in this precinct are members of the Fowler club. The speeches of the evening were made by MT. Fowler and Judge F. M. Zuck.

Gentry's Street Parade.

The street parade given this season by Gentry Brothers famous trained animal exhibition is in keeping with the performance which takes place un- der the white tops. By the parade the performance can be judged. Between Il o'clock and noon on the day of ex- hibition the parade will pass through the principal streets of the city. No travelling exhibition of any kind has a finer collection of animals and no other trained animal show can boast of so many beautiful miniature char lots, carriages, wagons and buggies. But as the parade will tell its won story the general public is invited to act as inspectors and critics and to judge for itself as to its magnificence and beauty. Eleven o'clock is the appointed hour and those who miss it can blame no one but themselves. Will exhibit at Prescott Saturday, October ?. Oct 12xw2

TRAVELLERS THRILLING TALE.
He Maks a Long Journey to 60 a
 Short Distance.

"Where does this train go," asked man at the station yesterday after noOn, of a passenger standing on the steps of Pullman car, shortly after of the wandering trains arrived there.
 It will go anywhere you want to go To matter where the place is,'' was the reply of the passenger. "We have people on board from all parts of the United States and their respective destinations are located in all parts of tae country Just buy your ticket, get aboard stay with this train and keep going and you will get to your destination.
 A representative of the Journal Miner, who overheard the above lacon- ic advice, engaged the passenger in conversation and inquired of him where he was going. He cheerfuIly replied by saying: CT am bound for Albuquerque. I left Dalhart, Texas, on the Rock Island road bound for Albuquerque, distance of only about 2s)O miles in direct line. 1 left there September 27th and have been on the road ever since, sometimes travelling sometimes flood bound; have travelled over 5000 miles and am now 200 or BOG niles further from Albuquerque than when I started
 ''l started to go to Fl Paso on the Rock Island thence on the Santa Fe tc Albuquerque. When about half way between Dalhart and Fl Paso we en. countered washed out bridge and waited two days for its being repaired. Other washouts ahead were reported and they took us back through Dal- bart and over to Oklahoma City. Thence we were taken to Fort Worth and to Fl Paso, over the Southern Pa. cific to Phenix and here we are. I ex. F9ct though now to be able to reach ny destination tomorrow morning.
 The railroad people have done the very best in their power and have fur nlshed us with food when unable tc keep moving and no complaints are heard, except from the occasional chronic kicker who would kick if he were at home, and would kick if be were carried by the most direct route te bis destination.
 ''These floods have been terrible blow to the railroads. At Fl Paso we ware informed that several miles of the Santa F'e road between that place and El Paso was in the Rio Grande river and that it would be impossible to repair it so that trains can run over it until the latter part of next week"

JEROME DOINGS.

Jerome, Oct. F. (Regular cores pondence): c. R. Johnson, who is we'll known in Jerome having worked there for the past six years and who has been in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and San Diego, California, and is at present in Los Angeles, has been ad- vised by his physicians to return to Jerome, as they considered it's climate the most favorable for his recovery. His many friends will be glad to vel come him back.
 j. Albert Mallory, the famous so- cialist lecturer, delivered a speech at Cottonwood, October 10, which was attended by people from Cornville, Oak Creek and other points. If con ditions permit he will return to Je- rome again before election day.
 Joe Wilson, an old time miner, of Jerome, had his leg fractured in the Windy mine at Randsburg, California. ME. Wilson has the sympathy of all of his Jerome friends, who hope for his early recovery.
 George B. Byan, representing the Hubbard, Spencer & Bartlett hardware company, arrived in Jerome this af- ternoon.
 Work has been commenced on the olc road from Sanders Station to Je- rome. When finished this road will be great ben4f1t to the people of Je- ror1e and also to the mines operating in the hills between here and Sanders Station. Heretofore it has been all most impossible to get proper machin- cry to the mines on account of the road being completely washed out in pleces and all mining supplies had to be carried in on burros at great ex- pe1se. It was through the effort of D. s. Cochran the enterprising super intendent of the Pittsburg- Jerome copper company, that the supervisors finally consented to rebuild the old road. Mir. Cochran intends to build a road from the Plttsburg- Jerome miles to meet the Sanders road at a point about two and half miles from Jerome.
 ;. c. Forest, chairman of the coun- ty republican central committee, ar rived in town today and it was anti cipated that the republicans will have a grand rally on October 18th.

McClure's Magazine for October
contains an article from the pen of
Lincoln Steffens, written under the
inspiration of Robert M. LaFollette
and Isaac Stephenson, concerning
affairs political in the state of Wis
consin. AS might be imagined from
the source of the information the
article is wholly one-sided, and
prejudiced to the point of bitter
ness. Mr.. Steffens has gained some
reputation the past year orltwo
as a result of similar articles; but
if his facts were no better than
those he uses in his Wisconsin
write-up the readers of McClure's
have been grossly imposed upon.
Mr.. Steffens did come to Wisconsin
to look over the ground, but he
positively refused to examine any
of the documentary or other proofs
relating to the corruption existing
under the administration of La
Toilette. AS a matter of fact it is
well understood that the engage
ment was between LaFollette and
the magazine for favorable pre-
sentation of his case.

magnificent oceans of wheat, promis-
ing twenty five bushels an acre, in

the plaques in the time Of Pharaoh,
