lislf-Breed indian Accused.

Santa Fe, N. M., Dec. Although feeling runs high, there has been no public threats of lynching Domingo Villas, the half-breed Indian accused of the assassination of Col J. Fran cisco Chaves, territorial superinten- dent of instruction, and who was brought to the penitentiary in this city tonight by Territorial Game Warden Page B. Otero, who captured him at Progresso.
 Villas is a halfbreed Indian Mexi- can, bears bad reputation, is dead shot and served term in the peniten- tiary, has brother-in-law in the pen itentiary for sheep stealing and on that account bore a grudge against Chaves.
 He had been in Mexico for quite a time. but returned to Progresso on the day of the assassination and dogged Col. Chaves from his ranch at Pro- presso to Pinos Wells, fifteen miles distant. The evidence against him thus far is entirely circumstantial.
 A convict at the penitentiary stated today that he had been approached to assassinate Col. thaves two years ago by an organized band of sheep and cattle thieves

RECTOR or ST. LUKE'S
Ashburnham. Ontario. Testifies to the Good Qualities of Cham mberlain's
 Cough Syrup.

Ashburnham, Ont, April IS, 1903.- I think it is only right that I should tell you what wonderful effect Cham berlain's Cough Remedy has pro. duced. The day before Easter l was so distressed with cold and cough that did not think to be able to take any duties the next day, as my voice was almost choked by the cough. The same day I received an order from you for bottle of your Cough Rem edy. l at once procured sample bot tie and took about three doses of the medicine. To my great relief the cough and cold had entirely disap- peared and was able to preach three times on Easter day. I know that this rapid and effective cure was due to your Cough Remedy. I make this testimonial without solicitation, being thankful to have found such a God sent remedy Respectfully youes,

 The matching of freaks and mon- strosities, such as birds with double heads, four legs, or both, is of fre- quent occurrence among birds of va- rious kinds and especially among chickens. Rather it is more frequently noticed among chickens, though that perhaps is due to the great number raised. But with these ostrich chicks there is no connecting ligament or tis- sue, nothing in fact that is unusual, except that there are two of them where there really ought to be only one. This is another achievement for the climate of Arizona, demonstra- tion of it's effect on the productive ness of everything in the sun-kissed land, in both the animal and vegeta- ble kingdoms.

Over in Graham county the demo- cratic party "pointed with pride" to a reduction in taxation of one-half of one per cent. After election a mis- take of $500, ,000 was discovered in the footing of the tax roll upon which the reduction was based, and as a conse- quence there is deficit of $27 1000 which will have to be supplied next year by the addition of one per cent to the tax rate. Of course the error was unintentional.

The Arizona legislative council will be a tie, which will make it more agreeable to the governor of the ter ritory than if the democrats had a clear majority. It appears from the returns that Pinal elected c. H. Cut ting over George P. Blair. thus ad- ding that county to Pima and Santa Cruz, Maricopa, Coconino, Apache and Navajo. This will make legisla- tion more safe and conservative than if either party had majority in both houses.

Remarkable Twins.

The most remarkable pair of twins that ever saw the light in Arizona, or in the world as far as known, were welcomed on Monday morning at the Phoenix ostrich farm. They are a pair of ostrich chicks, both having common origin in a single egg.
 On Sunday night there was matched at the farm seventeen chicks from six teen eggs. The incident is certainly the first of the sort ever known to oc- cur among ostriches and there is nothing freakish about it, both birds being perfectly formed and seemingly
