MUST SUE FOR COMMISSION.
Attorney for Massachusetts, Must Sur
render 81, 6OO,o 900 Warrant

The Attorney General has rendered an
opinion in which he holds that treasury
warrant issued in favor of the state Of
Massachusetts, and now held by a local
attorney here under power of attorney
ON the plea that his fees have not been
paid, must be turned over to the state and
that should the attorney refuse so to do, the
warrant should be Cancelled and new war;
rant issued to the state. About a year and
a half ago Congress appropriated about
81 100000 to reimburse the state of Massa-
chusetts Dor expenses incurred in fitting
out troops during the civil war, including
interest and premium on gold paid by the
state. Previously the state authorities had
entered into a contract with a Washington
lawyer to act as state agent in loking after
the claim, and agreed to allow him 10 per
cent of the amount received.
The attorney now holds the warrant and
refuses to turn it over to the state until his
fee of 100000 is paid. The state contends
that the fee is grossly excessive and makes
other allegations tending to show that the
attorney is not entitled to the fee claimed.
The Attorney General holds that the war
rant belongs to the state and that the at
torney has recourse to the courts to estab-
fish his rights in the matter

Left Valuable Estate,

Appraisers H. B. Penney, John B. Wright and Charles F. Hoff, of the estate of the late Judge w. H. Barnes, yesterday made their report to the probate court, assessing the value of the estate at s3l7, 759.52, which is, of course, exclusive of the life insurance carried by the deceased, over which the court has no jurisdiction. It is said that this will amount to perhaps $50, 900 more. All of it is left to the widow.
 The will was proved in probate court yesterday, and the widow be comes executrix of the estate without bond. She will be allowed the sum of $500 per month until the estate is closed on the probate docket, which will probably require years time or more.-Tucson Star.

Presbyterian Church Items.

We had a good Temperance Sunday program, even if it was made hastily. Quite number signed the pledge.
 Our offering for the manual school from the church and Sunday school amounted to nearly $50. We expect to make it up to that sum before send ing 1t in.
 Topic for young peoples meeting next Sunday evening, "How to wor- ship in Spirit and in Truth" Our young peoples meetings are growing in numbers and interest and we hope to see this continue.
 Sunday school lesson topic next Sunday: "Hezekiah Reopens the Tem- ple:" 2nd Chron. 29:18-3l. Golden Text: "Them That Honor Me I Will Honor;" l Sam. 2:30. We want to see our attendance at Sunday school restored to its standard of two or three months ago.
 The sermon Sunday morning will have for it's topic, Home Religion" In the evening the sermon will be ad- dressed to young men, subject "The Jericho Road"
 A cordial invitation is always ex- tended to all to be present at our ser- vices, if their obligations or prefer ences do not call them elsewhere. Flagstaff ought to have a good many people in church every Sunday who somehow fail to get there.

End of the Great rslr.

Tomorrow night at 10 o'clock, the work of dismantling the wonderful Louisiana Purchase exposition will begin. It is estimated that two hun dred freight cars will be loaded the first day. Already there are 1,5G0 carloads of empty packing ready to be filled with exhibits from the great fair. All the exhibits are to be cleared away by the first day of March.
 There are many millions of people in the United States who have not seen the St. Louis exposition, but every body takes pride in the unbounded success of the undertaking. It has been the greatest show the world ever saw, and probably there will not be another like it in America in this gen. eration.
 President Roosevelt voiced the pop ular feeling when he expressed his re- gret that it was necessary to remove every vestige of the exposition. It would be great thing if some of the principal buildings could be left stand ing, filled as they are with treasures from every land, but this cannot be and the St. Louis exposition will soon be memory Republican, Nov. 30.
