The dispansary should be abol-
ished and licenses issued to citi-
zens under heavy bonds to sell
whiskey in the manner that the dis
pensary now sells it, that is: in
sealed vessels of no less than half
a pint, only between sunrise and
sunset and not to be drunk on the
premises. This wonld preserve
all the good features of the dlspen-
sary and eliminate the bad fea-
lures. And it would yield more
profit than the presen: law. The
only people who would suffer by
the change are the members of the
purchasing oard.-Spartanburg
Journal.
This suggestion is good. If there
ia any merit in the sealed package
idea there is undoubted merit IN
the proposition to put the sale Of
whiskey in hands of private indi-
viduals. The traffic must be taken
out of the hands of the state. There
is no other possible way to rid it of
the suspicion to which Senator
Tillman recently referred. But
will the Journal please explain ex-
actly what 1t means when it says
that embers Of the purchasing
board will suffer by the change it
roposes. .-Yorkville Enquirer.

NATIONAL CONGRESSES
The Appointment of Delegates to
 Them From Arizona.

There was announced from the of flee of the governor yesterday the ap- pointment of delegates to various na- tional conventions. One is the meet ing of the mining congress, which will assemble at Portland. Ore, August 22. and will be in session for five days. This congress will also take up the question of irrigation and the reclam- ation of the arid lands. The latter subject seems to be outside the prov ince of a mining body, but the theory is that the greater the development of the west and its agricultural re- sources the greater encouragement will be lent to the development of the mineral resources of the same region.
 The delegates from Arizona to this congress are John H. Page, Grand View; Walter Douglas, Bisbee; w. E. Deity and l.. F.. Hewins, Phoenix; Col. Thomas Ewing; F. A. Haggott, Mayer; A. c. Barnhart, Prescott; C. E. Mills. Morenci; Howard w. Kemper, King man; Thomas Hughes, ST., and PIoF. J. w. Prout of Tucson.
 Delegates were also appointed to the annual congress of the national prison association, which win meet at Quincy, Ills, and will be in sess.on from October 15 to 20. The delegates are Rev. Harvey M. Shields, H. Bueh- man of Tucson, Rev. Dr. Lewis Halsey of Phoenix; Col. William Griffith of Yuma and Judge F. R. O'Brien of RensOn

AN APPROVED MINERAL SUR VEY-The surveyor general has ap- proved mineral survey No. 1860. This survey includes the Early Morning and Eagle Eye lodes. situated in the War ren mining district, Cochise county, owned by Jacob Pirrung of Bisbee, Arizona.
 THE WIDOWERS PARADE-Ow- ing to the indictment appearance of the weather yesterday morning, arrange ments for the summer widowers pa rade and demonstration at the park last night, were at once discontinued and the festivities postponed for one week.
 ITO AMBUSH CATFISH-When Bob Hudson and Fred Gardeaer get up yes terday morning and found it really raining they lost no time in hiking out for the river. Their plan was to lay in ambush along the banks below town, knowing that as soon as the first wa ter went by the catfish would take the trail for the up country and they could fall on them unawaIes and take them alive.
 BASEBALL TODAY-The hardware men announced last night that the baseball game at Eastlake park today was to be played between the New Store and a picked nine in which there were only one or two hardware men. They say the New York store team has been strengthened by some outside players and they refuse to pit the hardware team against them as a whole but the game will be played with a good picked nine and ought to prove a very interesting one.
 PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.-Mrs L. F. Pennington planned a delightful surprise for her husband last night on account of his birthday. About fifty of the friends and neighDors Of the family gathered at their home on South Seventh avenue. The evening was a most enjoyable one. There were music, dancing and refreshments. So delightful was the evening that MT. Pennington and the guests expressed regret that his birthdays do not come with greater frequency.
 PROBABLY A DEAD INDIAN-W. T. Barr yesterday received a letter from M. P. Halliday. who Is operating in the upper Gila country. MT. Halli- day described an exciting incident he witnessed at Geronimo. Several Apache Indians and white men got into a fight, following a drunken quar- rel. The engagement became general and one of the Indians was hit on the head with a wagon spoke and laid out. MT. Halliday does not know whether he was dead or not. He left the scene of contention as soon as possible. A HUNTING PARTY-A party con- sisting of Stanley Porter, Claude san derson, A. H. Davidson and Lee Red
 wine left here Wednesday night for the ! Gila, well armed with rifles and shot guns. It was real hunting party and most of its time was | spent hunting for shelter, mighty little | of which it found. It began raining or ! them before they had fairly reached
 the hunting country and it continued to pour until after they got out of it
Arizona republican., 1904-07-22

To make matters worse Claude had been appointed cook and he forgot to take along anything to eat, hence no time was lost getting home again.
 RANGER KlDDER CONVICTED The man Kidder, a member Of the ranger force who was arrested CT the charge of assault and battery in Bis bee July 9th, his victim being a man named Pagan, was tried in Tomb stone on Tuesday by Justice Wardwell and a jury, and was convicted. Sen tence was to have been pronounced the next day. The maximum sentence for that charge is a thousand dollars fine, or six months in jail, or both, in the discretion of the coGrt. The case has attracted a great deal of attention in southern Arizona, Kidder seeming to be considered unworthy of the trust reposed in him as a member of the ranger force.
 HIS THIRD EXCURSlON-James N. Kilgore. travelling agent of th9 Stockton Colonies, is in Phoenix ar ranging for his third excursion -Cf prospective settlers from these parts to his California home. MT. Kilgore says that all who have gone with him [on previous excursions have been satisfied and he offers to pay eXpensSs if his representations are not made good. He calls attention, however, to the fact that it is a business and not a pleasure excursion and warns people not to go unless they are dissatisfied and want to change their place Of res idence. That section, he says, is not harboring a boom, but is enjOJ ing a continuous prosperity and is peopled already with a good class of citizens many of whom have lived there for the greater part of their lives.
 THE HICKLIN CASES-Fred and Florence Hicklin, brother and sister were brought before Judge Sloan in Prescott on Wednesday, for sentence, having been convicted of the murder of Jud Mullino in the latter days of June. The attorneys for the defense in both cases presented motions for new trials. Arugment was made at one c in the case of Fred Hicklin, but the court heldSthat the exceptions were not of sufficient weight for him to grant a new trial. The convicted man was then sentenced to serve 25 years in the territorial penitertiary and a notice was filed of appeal to tbe SUI preme court. In the case of Florence Hicklin the attorneys were given till Monday morning to file their bill of exceptions preparatory to their argu- ment for a new trial. Fred Hicklin ac- cepted his sentence without show of emotion, but when the words of the court were spoken his siSter burst int tears.

CLEVER COUNTERFEITERS

United States Secret Service Agents Harry Mohitt and Thomas B. Foster were discussing the capture by Chief Wilkie at St. Louis the other day of Markus Graham, who had passed upon bookmakers at the race track $3O.OOO worth of counterfeit $100 gold notes.
 He was a slick worker" said Tommy. Every time he went out with a wad of notes he was fortified with an advertisement in a newspaper announcing that he had found a sum of money and requesting the owner to call upon him, prove property and pay for the ad and he could have the money. We'll when Chief Wilkie got upon his trail and caught him in the act of showing the queer with the dope in his pocket, Carahan flashed the ad in such and such a place and was waiting for the owner to come and claim them. This would have been a good defense if he hadn't been caught red handed and he saw it, too, after the chief had a quiet talk with him. So he confessed, told the Chief where the plates were concealed, the Chief interceded for him and he got only fifteen ye--s instead of ninety nine years, the full penalty for the crime"
 Almost as slick an operator, only on a smaller scale" said Harry MofIitt, was George Cummings, now doing q four-year stunt in the state prison at San Quentin. Cummings and his two brothers made counterfeit dollar pieces at Fruityale, where they lived, and, riding through the country on their bi- cycles, passed them upon storekeepers and hotelmen in all the small towns between Oakland aud Stockton When George w. Hazen, Tommy Foster and myself captured the men and the out fit we found that George Cummings had scooped out hollow places in his shoe heels and hidden some of the money there. Then he had smeared his shoes with mud so that we wouldn't think of Joking there for anything.
 Well, clever as they may be, the smartest of them get caught. The eye of Uncle Sam never sleeps"
