of the HumbeTt case. It seemed pre- pesterous to suppose that anybody would have the nerve to try the Idum- bert game in this country-ard espe- cially upon the heels of the Humbert exposure.
 But evidently the Chadwick woman reasoned logically; there were more fish in the financial sea which had yielded such juicy suckers for the French woman. Prompted, probably. by the success Of the Humberts, she started out on a campaign Of her own, at the very time when the newspapers of the world were filled with the de- velopments of the Humbert case. She represented that she was the owner of millions of securities; she pro duced a certificate from a lawyer that he held such securities for her. To others she represented that Andrew Carnegie was holding many millions in trust for her. She needed money tenn pcrarily She didn't care for expenses; she was willing to pay heavy commis- sions for loans. Moreover, the oplig- ing bankers who made the loans to her were to handle her fortune, later On; they were to have large salaries for acting as trustees of her estate.
 An expenditure of four bits fer telegram would have brought the truth from Carnegie. A few minutes in quiry would have demonstrated that the lawyers certificate was worth nothing. But there was no invesdgl- ton. The money lenders went it blind. They were hungry for big profits.
 Yet, these same "shrewd ffnanc,ers, '" in making a loan to a reputable husi- ness man, would have surrounded uIe transaction with every precauuon.

..shrewd Einanciers. :,

Phe residents of the big cities arg fond Of making a joke of the farmers who buy gold bricks, green goods, and other merchandise from bunco sharps. The farmer is entitled to a rest now, however. It is the turn of the "shrewd fnGncieYs~-the managers of some of the city banks-who deserve to take the place of the rural ''come on" as butt fer the joke makers. The "shrewd fnanciers" who have permitted them selves to be buncoed out of millions hy the Chadwick woman have exhiO- ite5 less judgment than dc the cred uicus and unsophisticated people who buy gilded bricks and sawdust.
 It appears now that the Chadwick woman used no new or original meth ods in separating her victims from their money. She followed the meth ods of the Humbert woman, of Paris, who last year swindled French finan- Cicrs cut of millions of francs. The Humbert woman and her husband al- legged that they were the owners Of securities worth many millions. These securities were held in trust, or some thing of that sort, according to their story, and without investigating, the French capitalists advanced vast sums to the swindlers. When expos Ire came it was found that the Hum berts owned no securities. Everything was bogus. The most superficial ;n- Vcstigation would have shown that everything was bogus. But high rates of interest and commissions" to lend CTS were the baits which they placed on their hooks, and they never failed to land their suckers. They knew how to play on human greed.

A Warn, Summer for 1905.

In the event of the passage of the joint statehood bill, a political situa- tion without a parallel will be created in Arizona and New Mexico, next year. While. thousands will vote against the creation of the proposed state, all of our citizens will vote for officers for that state.
 It is quite the rule for the voters of a territory to vote for state officers. congressmen and legislature at the same election in which they vote on the ratification of the constitution of the new commonwealth. But hereto fore there has been no division of opin- ion among the people when a territory had an opportunity to enter the union. The adoption and ratification of the constitution was foregpne conclusion, and was merely a necessary formality. It was entirely logical that state off, cers should be elected at the same time.
 But in these territories we shall wit ness the extraordinary spectacle of ballots going into one box against. the state and into another box for the cleo ton Of officers therefor.
 The campaign will have to be just as earnest and spirited as if there were no question as to admission. Both par ties will hold conventions, made up of delegates from the two territories. ard full state tickets will be nominated. Candidates fer the legislature will be ,,o,,-;,,+-1 Ev- 11o+t, yor+iaS i1 exarv county, for if the constitution is rati- fled the legislature will have to elect two United States senators. The cam paicn will be waged more earnestly than any campaign ever seen in these territories. Neither party can afford to let the other take a trick, for nobody can predict that the people will refuse to enter the union under the terms pre- scribed The numerous candidates will say-in this territory, at least-"We wish you to vote against admission, but We ask you to vote for us."
 Such a campaign will tese .he di- rIomacy of many man who considers himself above temptation. With such prizes as the offices of governor, sec retary of state, treasurer, auditor, su- rerintendent of public instruction, chief justice and associate justices of the supreme court, railroad commis- sfoners, district judges, and so forth, and 90 forth; and in addition thereto two United States senatorships, two seats in the house Of representatives, and membership in the first legislature of the state Of Arizona, how many can didates will in good faith work during the campaign against the admission of the state? And how many of their friends and supporters will loudly talk against admission and quietly vote for admission?
 We shall not need to consult the weather bureau in order to know that we will have warm times next summer if the statehood bill is enacted into law.

The Clifton Copper Era says: A Mexican boy about fifteen years of age and the son of Mir. Brown, of Guthrie, who is about eight years old, were out shooting Monday last with a small gun. The Mexican boy had the gun and fired into some rocks, when the ball glanced and returned, striking him in the head. He fell into the river, but the little fellow managed to drag him partly out of the water and then ran home for help. Dr. Burtch was telephoned for and went down to the boys home. He found that the bullet had lodged in the boys brain and that his life could not be saved. He fingered until Tuesday morning at o'clock.

Its manifold uses, its great simplicity, its economical maintenance and its uniform durability and reliability under all conditions demand for it the first place among the engines of the day. Will run anything from the smallest plant in existence where motive power is required to the largest factory. Its uses are co-existent with the demand for an engine-large or small-and of any horsepower or mag nitude required.

 A very creditable publication, by Charles Stauffer and Clarence Pad dock, The Tempe Normal Magazine, has just been issued. It contains sixty pages, and is in the nature of Q year book. Among the contributors are Gov. Brodie, Prof. Matthews, Prof. Irish, Col. McClintock and others.
 Governor and Mrs. Brodie, accom- panied by their little son Sandy, left Phoenix Monday morning for an ex- tended trip east.

BIG FIGHT FOR DOG
Charles lsermann, Well Known in Ke.
n0sha, is Arrested in Lake Geneva
on a Petty Charge.

Kenosha and Lake Geneva are
mixed in an internrban dog fight.
The dog is Scotch Collie six months
old and said to be a paragon in the
dog family. He is alleged to be the
property of Herbert j.. Pratt, who
owns a studio at Lake Geneva, and
it is claimed that he was spirited out
of Lake Geneva two weeks ago and
brought to Kenosha.
Last Saturday Charles Isermann, a
well known resident of Kenosha, was
arrested on charge of holding the
chain when the Collie LETT Lake
Geneva. Isermann managed to keep
out of jail and the case has been con-
tinued pending the corpus deficit.
Pratt came to Kenosha this morn
ing and the associated order of Hawk
shaws, of ,Kenosha made an examina-
ton of every collie dog in the city in
hopes of finding some evidence to
convict the Kenosha man of the
charges brought against him over in
Walworth. Pratt appealed to the
police for aid and they finally managed
to find the dog at the home Of w. E.
Hubbard, to whom it had been sold.
Isernann, of course, denies his guilt
in the matter and his friends are in
dignant over his arrest on such trif-
ing charge. Pratt, on the other hand,
claims that the dog is family pet
and priceless, and claims that he is
willing to spend all kinds of money in
order to keep the dog. He alleges
that he has evidence that the dog was
brought to Kenosha two weeks ago on
Sunday and it seems it was disposed
of here.

KenOsha Athletics Managed to Break
Even with the Racine Team on
the Latter's Home Grounds.
MARQUETTES DEFEAT KENOsHA.
Rain Stops the Game in the Seventh Inning
with the Bases Filled with Kenosha
Batsmen and No One Out.

The Kenosha Athletics under the
direction of Fred Pfeffer opened the
season of 1904 at Racine base ball
park on Sunday afternoon, and man
aged to return to Kenosha with a tie
record for their first time out. The
game was stopped in the opening of
the seventh inning after the Kenosha
team had made two runs, and the
Racine managers recognizing the in
justice of going back to the forme'-
inning consented to call the game a
tie, and it will be played off later in
the season.
Pfeffer' team made good showing,
and the two thousand people who over
flowed the park are convinced that
Kenosha finally has team that can
play ball, and play it right. Bubser,
who was in the box for Kenosha, made
a splendid showing, striking out eight
men and allowing but five scattered
hits. Callahan, who was in the box
for Racine, was equally effective,
striking out eight men and allowing
but eight hits. The Kenosha team
showed splendid team work for SO
early in the season, and every man on
the team seemed to be we'll fitted for
his position. The Kenosha team had
four errors, and similar number was
scored to the Racine aggregation of
players. The score follows:
