The Cochan Sinks.

It was reported here Saturday that the Steamer Cochan had sunk in eight feet of water somewhere above Eher- enberg. Later information is to the effect that the water was easily pump ed out and the steamer floated in a short time after sinking. The Cochan lay in dock here for long time prior to the present trip and was so thor oughly dried out above the water line that her sinking with a heavy cargo aboard is easily accounted for. The steamer is now on her way to Yuma.

School Election.

The school election last Saturday created little interest. There was only one candidate for trustee in the field-Horace Dunlap-Henry Wupper- man having withdrawn. There were 73 votes boiled, all of them for MT. Dunlap. Mir. Dunlap has had previous experience in the same business, and will undoubtedly give satisfaction to all who are interested in the Schools.

Praise for Company ..H"

Capt. W. A. Holbrook, 5th Cav ., U. s. A., who is inspecting the various companies of the National Guard, in- spected Co. "H'.on Monday night. In his remarks to the members of the company after the inspection he complimented them on their showing and said that the com pany made better appearance than any he had inspected in Arizona.
 This is especially gratifying to the officers and men of Go. HI" as it is the intention of the Government to send one and probably two companies of the Arizona Regiment to the St. Louis exposition. An in view Of the report of the inspecting officer, and the work of our company at Morenci last sum- mer, it is probable that Co. HI" will be selected.
 This trip is certainly due the com pany anyway as it is the oldest con- pany in the Territory and has always made an excellent showing whenever it has been called out by the Governor.
 Though all the companies in the Ter ritOry will certainly make an effort to secure this detail the residents of Yuma county expect Co. HI" to secure the prize; favoritism being lain aside.
 The new uniforms and Krag-J Jorgen- sen rifles will be sent from Phoenix at once so that the men may become pro- ficient in the use of the new gun.

CANCER KILLS
FAMOUS MARSHAL
Of GAINESVILLE

GAINESVILLE Wis, Oct. 26.-John W..
Hogan, for a score and more of years
city marshal of GAINESVILLE, and once
sheriff of Rock county, died last night
at Z o'clock from the effects of a can
Ger in the face. He arrested an Of
fender 20 years ago and the fellow re-
sisted striking the officer in the face,
the wound proving difficult to heal and
finally developing into malignant
cancer He has been in number Of
hospitals and has submitted to nu-
merous surgical operations and been
treated by eminent specialists, but
without permanent improvement. John
Hogan was one of the best known po-
lice officers in the northwest and had
the reputation of being a terror for
tramps, thieves and thugs. For years
the city of GAINESVILLE had him for mar
shall, maintaining no other police de-
partment, while all other cities of this
size had several officers. While he was
marshal the place had reputation for
good order

DIRECTORS DlScLAIM DAZZLING
I'M POLITICS.
FORMAL STAT MENT MADE
Attorney Gives Out Denial Of Current
Sensational Charges Against the
Giant Corporation, Stating That It
Is Done In Order That Public May
Not Be Mlsled.

New York, Oct. 26.-S. c. Todd of
counsel for the Standard Oil company
authorized yesterday the following
statement:
an view of the many false and mis-
leading statements from various
sources, the directors of the Standard
OIL company deem it advisable to state
to the companys shareholders and the
public that neither now nor at any
time has the Standard Oil company or
any of its constituent companies been
interested IN any business not directly
related with and necessary to the
petroleum trade. 1t would be almost
impossible to designate In this denial
the different classes of business with
which irresponsible parties have
coupled the Standard Oil companys
name, but 1t may not be amiss to spe.
city copper, steel, banks, railroads and
gas (other than natural gas) as beina
more prominently mentioned. With
none of these affairs has the Standard
Oil company been at any time con,
nected. Individual members of the
Standard Oil company have been and
are interested as individuals in various
enterprises but this is entirely outside
OF the business of the Standard Oil
company, which is oil alone, unaffect-
ed by other interests in which its
stockholders may invest. Neither Is
It true that the Standard Oil company,
John ID. Rockefeller or any officer of
the Standard Oil company has taken
part In securing the nomination of any
candidates for Offices, as Is so posi-
lively stated. Furthermore, 1t Is en-.
tirely untrue that there Is any Stan
dard Oil party" banded together fol
speculation in stocks, as Is so common
ly charged The name of the Stan
dard Oil company Is frequently used
Ivy designing persons in manipulation
of the stock market but its use is un.
warranted. The Standard Oil com
pany departs from its usual custom IN
making this denial for the reason that
statements being made at this time by
newspapers, magazines and sensation
al public speakers, appear to be I'M
usually mendacious and may to a
great extent, mlslead the public"

apparently with the intention OF
boarding the MouImein. They steam,
ed away, however, and soon the fisher,
men were Mortified to find they were
being fired upon.
First one and then another trawler
was struck by flying shot. What
seemed to be a round shot went
through the Moulmein's galley. The
Mino, lying near by, also was struck
with many shots, but fortunately the
damage was above her water line and
none Of her crew was struck.
The bombardment lasted abou'
twenty minutes. When 1t had ceased
the feet sailed southwark, and some
of the trawlers sent up rockets. The
Moulmein steered in the direction or
the rockets. Soon cries were heard
and the Crane was found sinking with
another trawler taking off some OF
her crew

Countess Martinengo Cesaresco in
Contemporary Review.-Symmachus,
last of the great mobiles of Rome, who,
5linded by tradition, thought to revive
lhe anXities of the preparations fo"
the glories of his beloved city by re-
viving its shame, graphically describes
one OF these colossal shows on which
h3 is said to have spent what would be
about GS0000 of our money.
He began year in advance. Horses
bers, lions, Scotch dogs, crocodiles,
Chariot-drivers, hunters, actors and the
best gladiators were recruited from all
parts. But when the time drew near
nothing was ready. Only few of the
animals had come, and these were half
dead of hunger and fatigue. The
bears had not arrived and there was
no news of the lions. At the eleventh
hour the crocodiles reached Rome,
but they refused to eat and had to be
killed all at once in order that they
might not die of hunger.
1t was even worse with the gladia-
tors who were intended to provide, as
in all these beast shows, the crown
ing entertainment Twenty-Five OF
the Saxon captives, whom Symmachus
had chosen on account of the we'll
known valor of their race strangled
one another in prison rather than
eight to the death for the amusement
of their conquerors
And Symmachus, with all his real
elevation of mind, was moved to moth,
ing but disgust by their sublime
choice! Rome in her greatest days
gloried in these shows. How could a
man be patriot who set his face
against customs which followed the Ro.
man eagles round the world?

he had undertaken, if he felt that the
end was a good one; the curiously
hard and unsympathetic attitude he
had toward failure of any kind, no
matter how blameless the failure
might be; all these and many others
found in gentle and amiable natures,
and they do not as a rule attract SYM
pathy and affection But they saved
the whole expedition from annihila-
out of difficulties which would have
overcome an ordinary man, they drew
us through places where there seem
ed to be only death before us, and
they gained for him the absolute trust
and confidence of all those who follow
ed him.
In the early part of the expedition,
we, Stanley's four officers, Captain
Stairs, Captain Nelson DR.. Parke, and
myself, did not entirely understand
his character and at first the things
that he did seemed to us some ines
to be hard and unnecessary. Burt as
the months went by out estimate of
his character changed for we saw
how absolutely right and necessary all
that he had done had been, and we
realized that sometimes it was very
necessary to do hard things for the
safety and preservation of an expedi-
ton like ours.
Stanley has often been accused Of
cruelty, but | can only say that during
the three years we four officers were
with him in Africa we never once saw
him do a cruel or wanton thing, or
anything of which our conscience :"
approved.-A. J. Mounteney-Jephson

For all the awful war.
