 Mrs. Gates was in her thirty-third year, and had been Tn ailing health for some time. Recently her husband decided to visit this part of Arizona, thinking that the change of climate might prove of benefit. But medical skill and tender and careful nursing were without avail, and the invalid passed away yesterday peacefully and quietly.
 Mrs. Gates possessed many amiable and estimable qualities that endeared her to everyone with whom she came in contact, and her demise will be a loss that only time can assuage. Three children and a husband mourn her loss. and to them the sympathy of our community goes out in the fullest and most sincere measure.

A HARMONIOUS GATHERING
Republican Lambs Named For the
 November Slaughter

The Republican County conven- tiOn, called for the purpose of nominating a ticket for the fall election, assembled Thursday morning at eleven o'clock. at Ar mory Hall. A caucus had been held by the delegates immediately pre- ceding the convention. and several trivial matters which had been subjects of discussion were readily disposed of; consequently, when the delegates met in convention, there was harmony.
 Col. Allen T. Bird, as chairman of the county committee, called the convention to order. and read the call. Mir H. NJ. Chapman, in a brief but eloquent and forceful speech, nominated Col. Bird as temporary chairman and the nOmi nation was made unanimous on motion
 Mir. w H Barnett was then select ed as temporary secretary. and t he convention proceeded to business. Three committees were appointed by the chairman, one on credentials one on resolutions, and one on order of business, and the conven- ton. on motion, adjourned until ? o'clock.
 ''Stalwarts" be blowed, It was mild; so very, very mildl We look ed in vain for our friend French, but To. he was not.
 It was late when the Republican delegates started in to business. Various groups were discussing prospective candidates in low voice; some of the foxy aspirants got their people into a corner and showed them the straight and narrow way, while Hon. George w. Atkinson moved around the room and told them all about 1t.
 Finally Col Allen T. Bird came in and in less than half minute he had lem all in line.
 Mir John T. Brickwood, chair man of the credential committee, made his report, and got discharg- ed.
 Tom Casanega reported the order of business; he also was discharged.
 Dr. Ferguson. on Platform and Resolutions, condemned the court house and grounds, increase in salaries, supervisors, treasurer. our public schools, assessor and various other things he could thnk of, and brought forth applause.

or the leSlSlalure er3uSOn nominated G. w Atkinson. Mir. Atkinson came up with one of his genial smiles and in a few remarks declined the nomination, proposing Dr. L. T. Bristol. who was nominat- ed by acclamition and responded.
 For Sheriff Clarke nominated Chas Fowler and Atkinson pro posed William Dumont. It was decided to ballot and Fowler re ceived 16 to 6. The Chair told Fowler he must get accustomed to standing up and Fowler sad he couldn't hardly say, but he would be found there."
 For district attorney Dr. \. K. Noon proposed g. F. Noon. He was chosen by exclamation and made q neat response
 For treasurer Burgoon proposed Con O'Keefe, so everybody kept still. He was nominated by ac- cIamation. Here is his graceful acknowledgement: Gentlemen; I will use my hest endeavors to be illicted- and possibly otherwise"
 For recorder, Clarke proposed J. A. Spink and Atkinson came up with Judge Quinn, but at the solicitation of the latter gentleman, with drew the name. So Spink was nominated in the usual way.
 For probate judge, James Schultz. nominated R H. Clarke. There weren't any more, so they repeated the exclamation scheme. Mir. Clarke rose solemnlv and in a gloomy manner "hopes he will administer wills as satisfactory to the dead as our late incumbent"
 In the matter of supervisors, w H. Walker and R. D. George were proposed but MT. George withdrew in favor of his opponent, said he was too busy attending to his own and other peoples business, to play politics; he had been trying for six months to convince folks he was not a candidate for office, and this was

ing to the retirement of all clerks in the

comrades who spent their young manhood
