The Japanese legation announces that
Japan has requested China to declare
coal contraband of war. The effect of
this would be to cut off the main coal

THE ART LOAN.
Last Day Is Mond,y, January 4, and
 You Should See it.

A rare treat is in store for those who attend the entertainment at the NJ. E. Church Monday evening. Be sides having an opportunity for voting for the most popular lady in town, the audience will have the pleasure of witnessing a high class Fakirs' Show, listening to some delightful music and entertaining recitations. While Rev Smith aims to give his people straight gospel sermons he believes in the doctrine that a merry heart is like medicine, and that hearty laugh does no one harm. The proposition to open the exhibition to. the school children in the afternoon of Monday at the reduced price of ten cents and giving each box of fine candy worth fifty per cent more than the price of admission is a liberal one. and ought to attract every child in our public school. The prime object in getting up this Art Loan was to encourage children and others in this line of ed ucation. Thus far the enterprise has been a success

Red Men Give
 Ball in Douglas ONE OF THE FINEST SOCIAL Oc. cASloNS EVER ENJOYED IN THIS SECTION OF
 ARIZONA.

Thursday night the Geronimo Tribe of Redmen gave their masquerade ball in the dining room of Hotel Queen. It was splendid success from start to finish. The costumes were some of them beautiful and some of them gro tesque. Every one who attended the ball entered into the spirit of the oc- casion and helped make the ball a most enjoyable affair
 Several prizes were given for cos tunes. Mrs. Mognette, as a yachting girl, won the ladies' first prize and Miss Rogers, as a Chinese girl, won the prize for original ladies' costume. Tom White, as George Washington, won the first prize for the men, and MT. COleson as a clown. won the prize for the best acted character.
 The only thing that marred the pleasure of the evening was an acci- dent that occurred just after 1904 mad been announced by a general shooting up Of the town. Some one carelessly set oil a sky-rocket without giving 1t the proper elevation, and it shot through one of the windows in the dining room and struck lady in the back, hurting her quite badly.
 The Redmen gave one of the finest dances ever given by any order in this part of Arizona, and the Indians should be congratulated for the way in which they conducted their masquerade.

GEORGE BEACH SENDS BACK AN
 INTERESTING LETTER.
Finds Baron HumboIdt's Predictions of One Hundred Years Ago to Be Absolutely Verified Now in the Mu- latos Country.
Especial Correspondence.)

NSpCSidl SOTIeSpOQQenCG.1
 1 promised to write you occasional ly on my trip down through Manana- land, but our party has pushed so con- tinuously since crossing the line that have been unable to write until now. We left Agua Prieta Sunday morning, December 6, having passed through the custom house the previous even- ing. We followed the line of the Nacozari railroad to Cos. the present terminus, and from there to Nacozari followed the line being graded for that road. Dozens of construction camps were passed, and hundreds. if not thousands, of workmen, drilling. blasting. tunneiing and grading, in preparation for the passage of the iron horse.
 Supplies particularly American goods, sell very high along this route but details of this character, as well as information for prospectors con- templating the invasion of Mexico. Tn regard to the most economical meth cd of procedure, will be reserved for another letter. At present I desire to speak particularly of this district and it's outlook.
 Sahuaripa mining district is univer- sally conceded to be one of the rich est mining regions of the world and by it's friends and advocates is claimed to be the richest of the rich. It is claim ed that the almost invariable rule here is 10 find stringers and narrow veins near the surface which unite and grow richer and better with depth, Instead of pinching out as in some oth- CT sections. The isolation and inac- feasibility of this region and the prac- ical impossibility of bringing in heavy machinery has caused these rich veins 10 be worked only to the water line or to depth easily reached with their crude appliance, and the mine would Shen be abandoned for one near CT the surface and more easily work ed. Although there are hundreds ot so-called abandoned mines" in the district, there is scarcely an instance of one abandoned because of exhaus- eAOA VI -to WCdllu.
 Baron Humboldt, who visited this section nearly one hundred years ago with large outfit and very complete scientific appliances, is quoted as say. ! ing that Mexico was the richest min erai country in the world. and that Sahuaripa was the richest district in Mexico. The baron's wonderful judg- ment and insight into such matters has been demonstrated by the verifca tion of his predictions as to mineral development in various parts of the world and the known fact that in no instance has his judgment been al fault. And the opinion of Baron Hum- boidt in regard to the then latent rich es of this district have been concur ed in by every mining expert of ac knowledged reputation, who has visit ] ed this section and has been proven correct by whatever development worf

AFTER THE THIEVES.

The Poplar Bluff Citizen-Demo- crat says: "The gang of car thieves, whose operations have become famous, is again working here. Last week a number of cars in the Iron Mountain yards were opened and articles of mer- chandise were taken.
 ''The police, both city and railroad, are working hard on the case and have been seeking to lay the thieves by the heels for some time. One man has been arrested and is being held under suspicion upon a charge of vagrancy in the police court. It is claimed that he sold shoes which had been stolen in one of the raids to the pawn shops here. These depredations have been going on for many months. "

HANG GOVERNOR
 JEFF IN EFFIGY.
Friends of Mart Vowell Hang Likeness of Governor Davis at Rector Because He
 Let Vowell Hang.

Rector, June 10. Early risers in Rector this morning saw an effigy of Governor Davis hanging from a pole in a conspicuous place. This expression of disap- pointment of the governors re- fusal to save Mart VoWell from the gallows came from a source not generally known. Attached to the picture of the governor were several playing cards. The effigy had evidently been pre- pared with care, as the picture was a very good likeness of the governor.
 The picture was taken down and burned soon after the dis covery that it had been hung up.
 The train bearing the remains of Vowell, who was executed at Paragould yesterday for the murder of Wm. F. Lovejoy in this county, arrived here at 9I o'clock last night. Several hun- dred citizens were at the depot. A large crowd remained on the streets last night. Vowell's exe- cution and Governor Davis atti- ute in the matter were the topic of the town.
 Vowell's remains were inferred this afternoon at 2 o'clock in the family cemetery one mile north west of Rector. Services were conducted in the Methodist church by Rev. J. w. Cox prior to the interment.
 As many people as the church could hold were present. The stores, banks and workshops were closed from noon until 4 p. m. on account of the obsequies.
 Rev. MT. Cox took for his text, "There remaineth therefore
 for the people of God. z For o4-e hour he discoursed elol ntly on the unfortunate trageoy and referred to Vowell as his per- sonal friend and an honest man, who joined the church during the speakers early ministerial career, thirty years or more ago.
 The funeral procession was more than a mile in length. At least 1,5O0 people followed the remains to the grave. In the principal street of the town there had been placed an arch, which was draped appropriately and surmounted with flowers. Dur ing the solemn march every bell in town was tolled.

FIRE AT AUGUSTA.

Tuesday morning about 3::30 the bakery and confectionery be- longing to Cartwright Bros. was discovered to be on fire by Police- man Davenport, who immedi- ately gave the alarm, to which the fire company responded promptly. The fire had gained quite headway before the hose could be attached and put in working order, but, however, the flames were soon under control.
 The baking department was completely destroyed and the en- tire stock of confectioneries were badly damaged.
 The main building was con- siderably wrecked, which is owned by J. H. Dale, who car ried no insurance on the build ing.
 The Cartwright Bros. had their stock partially covered by insur- ance.
 The adjoining buildings were saved without any damage at all. Augusta Free Press.

SERTED WIFE
 TO MARRY GIRL.
Ephriam Yates of Swifton Badly Wanted by Sheriff Randy Married Nicholson Girl
 at Poplar Bluff.

Sheriff Hogg this emorning re- ceived communication from Sheriff R. w. Randy of Newport, asking him to arrest Ephria> Yates and the girl he married this city one day this week, sas, Fridays Poplar Bluff Citizen Democrat.
 Yates and Dovie Nicholson came to this city the early part of the week, secured a marriage license, giving their place of residence as Swifton, Ark, and were united in marriage by Pro- bate Judge Bruce Deem.
 When the couple presented themselves at the recorders office for the license Miss Abingdon, the recorders deputy, was struck by the extremely youthful ap- pearance of the bride and asked her if she were really IS years old. The girl said she was and the deputy, but half convinced, compelled her to sign the usual affidavit swearing that she w.. of marriageable age.
 This the young woman did and the license was issued. Judge Deem performed the ceremony and he, too, was struck by the youthful appearance of Miss Nicholson.
 Now it develops, according to Sheriff Bandy's letter, that the girl is only 15, and that Yates , has a wife and four children liv- ing, whom he left in a tenant house on a farm belonging to Miss Nicholson's father. x Sheriff Hogg immediately be- gan a search for the renegade husband and his child wife, but SO far has been unsuccessful. The girl is said to be very pretty and attractive, with black hair and dark brown eyes. Yates is described as being 26 years old, five feet nine inches tall, weighs about 1855 pounds, short black hair, gray eyes, smooth shaven and with scar under the chin. A vigorous search for them will be made.
 If these statements are true both the elopers have done enough to send them to state prison. Yates would be liable to charges of perjury; seduction and wife abandonment, any of which would give him number of years, while the girl would be guilty of perjury.

perhaps you are destined to become the
Prime Minister of Japan. But to this
end you must give yourself a broad
education. Especially, you must under
stand Europe"
+ Accordingly at the expense of the
government, Ito went to England, a
lad only % years old, where he studied
the language and institutions and OBJ
iserved men and ships-'ships most
of ALL as a writer in lie Matin re-
Gently said.
Honor after honor came to Ito after
returning home. He was given i'm
portant posts. Seven times he was
made minister and four times presi-
dent of the Council.
The young Emperor, Mutsuhito, also
admired Ito and sent him to the United
States. Returning, he carried back with
him the outline of a constitution for
Japan.
Marquis Ito is now an old man and
in retirement, yet according to dis
patches, the Emperor has called him
frequently to preside over the councils
of the older statesmen, those men who
have won honor and rendered great
service to their country.
More than that, the Emperor confers
with Ito, and it is a practical certain
ty that the venerable statesman ex-
erts much influence upon the delibera-
tions of his countrymen at this criti-
cal time in their little nation.
