Interesting Items Purioined From
 Numerous Exchanges

Prof. Robert l.. McDonnold, super intendtnt of the Phoenix schools, was bound to the grand jury with bail at $2, 400 on six charges of forgery.
 The term malapia, so commonly used in Arizona and New Mexico to denote the black lava flows, so characteristic of the desert country, IS derived from the Spanish mal, bad. and pals, land. or literally "had land" O..
 The Gold Road mine in Mohave county is making fine record as a producer. Nearly every issue of the Kingman Miner contains men ton of the shipment of bullion by the company. On June 9th a $2O,OO0 bar of gold was shipped and five days later $16,OO0.
 The pumps at the Tombstone mines are now discharging 3,O00,- GOO gallons per day. What pity it IS that the Casa Grande valley is not within reach of those pumps That amount of water here would produce dividends the Comstocks could not have equaled in the palmy days of that great lode.-Florence Blade.
 i It was reported on Sunday that smallpox had broken out in set clement of Papago Indians near Gila Bend and that members of the colony were apt to spread the dis ease on the Pima reservation and possibly bring it to Phoenix. The Pima reservation officials have ap- pointed special policemen to keep the Papagoes away, and Marshal Kinney has two extra policemen, Lon Feel and Will Price, to keep them from entering the city.-Re publican.
 The republicans in their national platform entirely ignored the sub ject of statehood for the territories. In the original draft of the plat form brought to the convention by l Senator Lodge with the White House o. K on it, the joint state hood passed by the republicans of the house during the last session of congress was indorsed. Subsequent ly this was stricken from the docu- ment, and the platform as finally passed by the convention contains no reference whatever to statehood.
 At 12 o'clock last night the fires went out in the smelters, and they are silenced forever in Bisbee. The sulphur smoke which for the past twenty-seven years has curled above the great Copper Queen camp as an index of the great reduction plant will no longer be seen by the resi- dents of Bisbee AS smelling point this camp passes into history and will be remembered as one of the greatest on the American con- tinent. The reduction of the cop per ore henceforth produced from this mine will be treated at Doug las.-Review. June 24.
 The June term of the district court was concluded on Saturday last, most of the business disposed of being of minor importance, with the exception of the cases against Zack and John Booth, At noon Saturday sentence was passed upon Booth, convicted of the murder of Juan Vigil, August 1, between the hours of sunrise and sunset, being named as the time when he is to suffer the death penalty by hang ing. An appeal has been taken to the supreme court, which meets late in October, and it is not likely | that the sentence against Zack Booth will be carried out until some time after that date-Globe Belt. |

that the man sentenced for life

ANY man who aspires to be
the governor of Minnesota should
have rendered some services to
the state which prove his worth
and which clearly demonstrate
that he is such a nan as should
be entrusted with the grave re-
sponsibilities of the highest office
within the gift Of the people of
the state. Tried by this test, the
democratic nominee is found ut
terly wanting. The best thing
which the democratic party in
Minnesota has to say for their
candidate for governor is that he
is "a nice fellow that he has
managed a newspaper with fair
success and that he has served
in the state e1ate without at
tracing much attention from
anybody. This record is a Gre
dit to the democratic nominee,
but there is in it all not the YES
tige of any thing which would en-
title him to the vote of a single
person in the state.

that remedy be DR.. Boschee's German

undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and its continued use for few days will

CROPS IN GERMANY
ARE CAUSING ALARM
Drought Continues and Rivers Too Low
to Permit Navigation

BERLIN, July 27.-The German crop
report for July Is indicates further
deterioration since June Is. Winter
wheat loses 1 point. summer wheat 2
points, and summer rye 1 point. Glover
and lucerne grass lose the heaviest.
The injury to the crops since the re-
port was made up has continued in
creasingiy, as newspaper reports indi-
cate. The beet sugar crop is also suf-
fering, severely, owing to the sandy
soil.
The effects of the protracted drought
continue. to occupy considerable atten-
ton from the newspapers and in COM
mercial circles. Much trouble is re-
ported owing to the inability of the
river navigation companies to deliver
goods, and manufacturers who are ac-
customed to ship heavy goods by wa
ter to seaports for export cannot make
delivery. Many manufacturers have
appealed to the government for a spe
cial reduction of railroad freight rates.
Navigation of the Efbe is almost wholly
suspended. The newspapers print pic
lures of crowds of people exploring the
exposed river bed at Dresden, where
the stream can be crossed on foot.
Eight hundred canal boats lie stranded
in the upper Oder above Breslau, and
thirty eight British Golfers are lying
at Swinemunde unable to discharge
their cargoes because the river boats

The Omaha has finally acquired ali
of the land needed for the extension Of
a switch running from the intersection
of Forest street and the East ST Paul
yards of the road to the har-
Vester works. After agents of the road
had purchased all of the property pos
sible at what they considered reason
able prices, there still remained a por-
ton of the desired right of way in the
possession of owners who wanted bet
ter prices.
The Omaha went into court and had
a commission named to appraise the
land, but since the commission COM
menced its work much of the property
has been acquired by purchase. The
appraisers filed their final report with
the district court The Northern De-
velopment company, which claimed
damages by reason of the close prox-
unity of the switch to land owned by
the company, was awarded damages in
the sum of $500.

THE ROMANCE OF BoNgsTgEl

The story of Bonesteel will be writ
ten, and when this is done the fiction
of it will be accepted as fact, perhaps.
But to the people east of the Dakota S
the facts published about BonesteeI
and the Bonesteel registration during
the past fortnight have been stirring
fiction, and peaceful civilization has
reveled in it's picturesqueness and its
blood and thunder character. For the
nonce the South Dakota town has be-
come Jack London volume in which
primitive passions are displayed. and
the pages exert all the greater fasci-
nation because of the sense of I'M
reality they convey.
1t is because the old West has pass
ed away that it is difficult to accent
as real the occasional ebuliitions of its
spirit. Yet SO long as there are new
lands to be opened up beyond the
Mississippi this spirit will continue to
reveal itself and men will continue to
answer the call of the wild. The bison
has vanished, the painted Indian has
disappeared, the cowboy no longer
possesses the land, but civilization has
not vanquished the Western bad man.
nor has it killed the instinct that
prompted the formation of the vigil
lance committee and warned decert
citizens to shoot at sight and to give
no quarter when the desperate rode
abroad.
The romance of Bonesteel is the
romance o. the old West told again IN
| a smaller volume. "A few years from
now the South Dakota town will point
with pride to its skyscrapers and re-
call with difficulty its stirring. past: or
else the somnclence of Incidence and
indifference eccasioned by a stunted
growth will have settled upon it. ana
