Snowbanks, then Rivers of Mud.

The following extract from a western New York paper will tend to make people more willing to endure with patience the dust here-which takes the place of snow banks and "riverS of mud there, until they can make rock roads over which they may sail into Yuma with their carriages, automobiles, bicycles and five ton hay wagons:
 "The April term of supreme court opened this morning under somewhat diScouraging circum- stances. Last winter when the courts were in session traffic was more or less tied up with snow drifts, which prevented jurors and witnesses from reaching the village. Now the snow is gone, but conditions are as bad as ever on account of bad roads.
 ''Such roads. A dozen eXcla- nation points coupled with al the adiectives in the dictionary could not adequately describe the soft, sticky rivers of muC which mark the course of every country road leading into May vile. A few who are compelled to traverse the country high ways walk if they are in a hurry and drive if they have plenty O. tlme.'

Probably the first man to re ceive a reward from the Carne- gie "hero fund" will be Captain William Clarke of the New York fire department, who rescued a mad man from the ledge of the story windows of a New York hospital the other day. Ii was a daring feat, and for time both the patient and his rescuel were in imminent danger of fall ing to the pavement below.

In the house of representatives there were 206 republicans and 177 democrats. A net change in 15 districts would give the dem ocrats control of the house, pro- vided it was the right kind of a change. But "safe and sane as the democrats think they are, it cannot be done.

The New York school board has finally decided that teachers may marry and still continue to teach school. That has long been the custom in Utah. In fact in some Utah households a teacher is so much married that he can furnish an ordinary school district with children without going outside his own herd.

e grimlv stood his ground and

he grimly stood his ground and received the wound which came near ending his life-an ugly gash under his arm which pene- trated into the left lung. By this time the angry mob turned their full attention to him and the superintendent made good the opportunity to escape.
 Just why Buck was not killed cannot be explained unless 1t be from the fact that the rutfians thought they had killed him, as they did in the case of Wilder; and it cannot be denied that they thought they had killed Wilder, for when Secretary Gregory from the wall shouted an order to bring the doctor the leader oI the gang replied: "You don't need to bring a doctor: the S of a b. is deader than hell now. /"
 But. thanks to luck, or a kind intervention of Providence whichever you may be pleased to call 1t neither Wilder nor Buck was killed. Wilder has fully recovered from his injuries and Buck will ssOn be well.
 Buck was convicted in June, 1900, at Globe, of the murder of Archie Borques. The evidence was purely circumstantial, and we don't believe anyone can take | it and read it through and then say that it is sufficient to satisfy the mind beyond reasonable doubt of his guilt. It certainly |
 is most unsatisfactory, and we doubt if the jury that copvicted him would recognize it as the cvi- dence upon which they returned their verdict of guilty; and we feel sure that the jury were not wholly satisfied, for they fixed
 the penalty at life Imprisonment instead of death. The murder
 was committed by splitting the
 victims head open while he was
 in bed asleep-a murder so das-
 tardly, so atrocious that it's per
 petrator should have been hung,
 and we believe this is the penalty
 the jury would have assessed
 had they been fully satisfied.
 We find no fault with the jury
 we believe they did what they
 thought right -juries usually do.
 But the circumstances surround
 ing the killing were so hendish
 that the public prejudice must
 have been intensely inhamed,
 and under such circumstances ii
 is no new thing for juries, aye,
 eveu communities, to make mis-
 takes: and who will say that nc
 mistake was made in this case:
 The grand jury indicted not only
 Buck, but man by the name oi Riley, also. The case against Riley was never tried. It was dismissed upon an agreement that he would testify against r Buck; and even then he failed tC , throw much light on the subject : Under the circumstances, anC l after carefully reading the testi : mony, we are prone to speculate what the result would have beer , had Bucks indictment been dis missed and Riley brought tC } trial; we don't wish to be under 7 stood asinsinuating Riley's guilt l we know nothing about that 7 but we do say that it seems tha as strong case could have beer : made against him as agains l Buck,
 5 Buck has always borne goo( 5 reputation and there are plenty 3 of good men who have knowl l him for years who say that they = have known him so long and S( ) well that they feel certain Una

Nj. w. A. ORGANIZE.
Officers Elected and the Organization
 Completed.

Camp 11,5CO Modern Woodmen of America was organized at this place Tuesday evening. The camp starts out with membership of nearly thirty. and there are several more who have signified their intention of coming in.
 The officers elected were: Venerable council. D. G. Buck; clerk, w. C. Hil- dreth; worthy adviser. s. s. Warner: banker, John Hyder; escort. c. Wat son; watchman. Sam Miller; sentry, F. w. Griffen; physicians. Doctors Jones and Moeur; manager for one year. w. c. De Wore; for two years, Vim. Still; three years. O. C. Watson.
 There was considerable debate on the question of the meeting night. Tempe now has so many lodges that it is hard to decide on a night that does not con- flict with some other order. It was at last decided to hold the next meeting on Saturday evening next and at that time decide on a regular night. The order will probably meet twice a month. It starts cut in a good condi- ticn, and will in the near future doubt less be among the most flourishin- lodges in town.
 The organizer, Wm. O'Connor, left last evening for Tucson, where he will organize another camp.

had a buckskin mare and a saddle and bridle stolen from the street here. No trace of the outfit had been found up to yesterday, and he had almost given up hope of ever seeing it again.
 Yesterday morning, however, there appeared in the Phoenix locals an ac- count of a buckskin mare that had been found at Castle Creek Hot Springs. Further particulars were that a few days before the mare hade been ridden through town by a man and the saddle had been sCld, while the man went on bareback MT. Still does not take the paper himself, but a friend does, and this friend, being familiar with the case of the stolen outfit, informed Ray mond about it. The circumstances of the affair make it reasonably certain that the horse is no other than the one that was taken from here. MT. Still left last evening for the springs to re- cover his sons property.
 Suspicion of the theft points to a man who worked for MT. Still the day before the horse was stolen. 1t is known that ne had intended going 10 Jerome, and it is thought that he chose this means of leaving the valley. Why he should have turned the mare loose Is matter of conjecture.

CHILLS AND PNEUMONIA

Chills are caused by a congested con- dition of the blood which very often comes from had digestion and poor circulation. If not properly attended to, at once. pneumonia is liable to fol- low, and as soon as the lungs become affected, there is great danger of inc complication proving fatal.
 Pneumonia first begins with pro- longed chill and pain in the side. Headache, nausea. vomiting and con vulsions very often show in children the first stage of pneumonia. The breathing becomes difficult and irregu- lar, the cough is at first dry, but later accompanied by sticky phlegm streaked with blood, and the patient is conn- pletely exhausted Pneumonia gener- ally attacks those who have allowed their system to become weakened and run down.

CONGRESS CUTS DOWN CAR
 RIAGES.

Out of Indiana has come the voice Of reform in public expenditure. Con- gressman Landis (the younger brother, not the older one) has succeeded in getting the house to restrict payment for maintenance of carriages to the heads of nine departments and the sec retary to the president Instead of keeping up some five hundred carriages there will be only ten for an economi- cal government to support. There will be weeping and wailing over this decis- ion, but it seems inevitable that the supply be cut off. Hereafter all sorts of government officials must either walk, ride in the street cars or hire d hack.
 The mass of citizens never knew un- til this incident cane up that there was such q large livery stable supported by Uncle Sam. They will probably con- slider the pairing down proper course, and, for all we know it is but we should like to hear the other side of the ques- ton. There must be some good reason for the extraordinary number of car riages supported by the government, and it would be interesting to know what it is. Most persons would>rather ride than walk though the latter is considered much more healthful. Most persons enjoy the sensations of rolling over asphalt pa-ements in handsomely equippe1 vehicles, and it is up to those who have had this luxury for so many years to explain what benefits have been derived and what calamities will follow from reducing them to street cars.
 The house seems to be more econo- mical about its neighbors at the other end of the avenue than in the capitol itself. It maintains a barbershop at public expense to shave members and cut their hair. Is this a necessity of good government? Should not every man shave himself or pay the penalty out of his own pocket instead of that of the nation? The barbershop costs the government about $10.000 a year, or enough to hire two more members of congress. There is a chance for economy here. If it did not seem un- kind to say so, we might remark that there are a number of congressman who might be abolished without great harm to the country at large.
 We are not urging this but merely suggesting that in the great work of re- form the members of the house should not continually go out on the west por- tico and look at the department build ings with an economical eye. There is sometimes a most beneficial economy which begins at home. Have not his torians gravely asserted that Van Buren was defeated because he used linen hemstitched dishclothes at the White House for which the government paid? The true statesman must not be a watchdog only in spots.-Philadel- phia Inquirer.

The post of veterinary surgeon to wild beast collection must have its thrilling moments. and should be cor respondingly Lucrative. M. DCmarl, who holds the retainer in animal sur gery for an establishment in Paris, had such an experience. Caesar, the grandest lion in the show, had bullied his fellow lions. and one of them had revenged himself by biting nearly off about seven inches of Caesars tail. This lacerated remnant. including, of course. the tuft. NJ. Dumari had to ann, putate. The feat was accomplished in this way. Caesar was first lured to narrow cage. in which there was just length to stand in. but none for turn ing around. the tail projecting through the bars for almost its whole length. Upon the tail half a dozen assistants seized. while the surgeon went swiftly to his work. which was sufficiently gone through. though the flashing and roarings were awful. And out of that cage Caesar could only be got by a fearful scourging with iron bars. But his glory is gone.
