Poor Place for Nurses.

Our minister to Korea, MT. Allen, sends word home that Korea is DO place for American women, either as nurses, governesses and the like; and Minister Allen has resided in Korea for a long time. He has spoken little late, since a party of forty women nurses has already sailed from New York to take service in the Jap anese army. They will probably have some startling experiences in their Asian campaign.
 The hardships and vicissitudes of army life are bad enough among the most highly enlightened nations, where nurses encounter only men of their own race and language; but in a foreign land among Asiatics, to whom war as now conducted is a nov city and who have none of the tra- ditions of warfare that are the inner itance of European races. travelling in country where there are DO rail- roads, the food strange and distaste- ful, the manners and customs incom- prehensibIe, they may find their sd- venture one that they may desire to hastily bring to an end. --
 This impetuosity of women to enlist in wars as nurses, when their own nation is not involved and when the warning nations have plenty of nurses of their own, is development of re- cent years. In the slleviation of the sufferings of the little brown Japs, it is to be hoped the American nurses will prove of some help, but we have Mir. Aliens word for it that Korea is an uninviting field.-Ex.

MT. Andrews Ehas been a member of the school board for several years, and during that time the schools have made excellent progress, and have achieved a splendid reputation. He is entitled to his full share of whatever credit is due for the success which has been achieved. He Ehas also been a member during the period of the construction of thes new school build ing which is the pride of the-city, and in which it is universally conceded the school district has received splen did value for the money expended. Neither he, nor the other members of the board are infallible. It is barely possible that mistakes have been made, but their work, viewed as a whole, is a credit to them, as we'll as a credit to the city. It is in view of these facts that so many citizens have gone to Judge Andrews to solicit him again to become a candidate.

War News of the Week

St. Petersburg, March 9.-Tbat mis- giving is still existing in high guar ters, regarding the ultimate aims and purpose of the foreign policy of the United States was verified today by a remarkable statement issued to the associated press. Iu part 1t says: "Were 1t not for a single unknown quantity, the European situation at present would be as perfect as pos sible. That unknown qunatity is your state department. The situation fol lowing the outbreak of hostilities was surcharged with dangerous possibili- ties for the peace of the world. Level headed statesmen of Europe instantly co-operated to avert general catas- trophe, when Secretary Hays circular note, for the Dentralization of China, almost ditched them. ....
 'This note might have proved dis astrous were it not that all Europe was practically in accord as to what should be done. The only place of uncertainty existed at Washington. We are at sea as to what to expect of Hays American diplomacy, which in these latter days is so aggressive, and so startingly sudden in the way he proposed propositions to the remaind- CT of the world, that it is a veritable nightmare to Europe. The present situation is like an algebraic problem, with every quantity known except one and that one is Hay. If we knew what he stood for and what he in- tended to do, the solution would be easy"
 St. Petersburg, March 10.-A later telegram was received by the asso- ciated press this afternoon from Vlad- ivostok but as there was no mention of any fighting, it is assumed that all is quiet there.
 It is reported that the Japanese have entered Manchuria, west of the Yalu river, and have reached FeDe Huan Cheng, on the Pekin road, where the Russians have their line of com. munication to Yalu. This cannot how, ever, be confirmed.
 If the information proves true $ land engagement of some magnitude cannot be long delayed as the Rus sians have a heavy force south of tho line, between Liao Yang and Mukden. They are also occupying a strong DO sition along the Yalu river.
 The Japanese column between then will be in desperate straits, unless il is moved by flank and takes the Rus.

Contributions Are Solicited.

The new St. Joseph's Academy, which is. not in any measure to sup plant or even rival the public schools of our city, but to fulfil a mission wholly its own, is of interest to the good people of Prescott and of the surrounding country.
 Many consider it a duty to con- tribute material aid to such an enter prise and some will greet this oppor- tunity as even privilege. A splen- did site-the generous gift of F. NJ. Murphy, gave the first impulse to this great undertaking.
 The Sisters, confident of support from the progress loving people of Prescott and vicinity, will erect 8 handsome structure at an estimated cost of s45, 900. To properly furnish and equip this institution with spe- cial appliances for effective teaching, will mean an additional cost of sev- eral thousand dollars.
 In order not to importune people indiscriminately, the Sisters prefer not to solicit aid personally, but, through the courtesy of our daily pa pers, they will from time to time, an nounce any contribution sent through the mail or delivered at the academy. If notified, the Sisters will gladly call on such as prefer to meet them in their homes, and all favors will be gratefully received. Those who car send in their contributions at an early date, will greatly facilitate the per, feet development of this work. Witl a little generous effort on the part oi our people the new academy will bt an educational institution, second tC none in the west.

Fighting Her Case.

The Los Angeles Times of recent date contains the following story of the troubles of a woman we'll known in Prescott and who was not wholly without troubles here:
 "Mrs. Gertrude Stull is the woman who has haunted the court house for many moons, and who cannot find an attorney to her satisfaction. She has had twenty five of them, but they all proved failures from her standpoint, and now she is her own attorney.
 ''The latest bit of litigation in which she became involved was a suit brought by her against ". N. Holway to cancel a written instrument Mrs. Stull wants very badly to exam inc a certain paper in the hands of an enemy-her opponents attorneys. At least she thought it was there and obtained an order of court to examine the papers in the hands of the attor- neys on the other side. Yesterday she appeared before Judge Conrey again to make her plaint She had not been able to find the document. Attorney Hunter, for the other side, stated that he had told Mrs. Stull that she could examine all the papers in his possession, or if she preferred, he would hand them over to any repu- table attorney who might represent her. He said that he positively re- fused to entrust them to her for the reason that be knew from the past that she would say they were forgeries, and merely use them to tangle up the case.
 ''This gentleman hasn't the paper want, Judge" murmured Mrs. Stull at this point.
 "Well," said the court, eff be hasn't got it, I can't make any order helping you, if you don't know where it is"
 "Then Mrs. Stull went out of court and is still hunting after that missing document upon which she opines SO much may hinge when her case comes to trial. !"

 Neither was it learned how seriously wounded the man is.
 The TOW commenced at Crowned King, where a quarrel occurred be- tween a number of Mexicans. The man who was afterwards shot left that camp alone for Minnehaha.
 Shortly after he left Narcisso and two others also left, following him.
 At wood camp they overlook the first man. Another quarrel ensued, ending ID Narcisso doing the shooting. Two of the trio are reported to be en route to Prescott in the custody of an officer due to arrive here this even ing.

MURDEROUSLY
 ASSAULTED BY ASSaSSinS While En- gagged at Work.
Fearful Experience of Miner in Big Bug District - Knocked
 Down, Thrown Over Dump.

A man named Cumings, employed at the Henrietta mine, was brought to town on Saturday in pretty badly badly battered up condition. He was working on the night shift and says that three men came to where he was working and with drawn revolvers compelled him to go down on the dump. On his arrival there he was knocked down and he grapPled with one of his assailaDts. The man called on the others to shoot him, but on ac. count of the darkness and the general mix up the others did not shoot, probably through fear of shooting their companion.
 Cummings claimed that they finally overpowered him and heaved him bod. fly over the dump. His general ap, pearance fully corroborates the story told by him. It is not thought that his wounds will prove fatal.
 He has no idea of the motive which prompted the fendish deed as it was not for the purpose of robbery and he says he knows of no enemies that he has that would attempt to wreak ven geance on him in such brutal and murderous manner.
 Cummings says he is a non union man, but he has never had any trouble with the union. The assault is shrouded in complete mystery.

The decision rendered on Saturday by Judge Sloan in the United Verde tax case was great victory for the tax payers of the county.
 The title of the case was "Territory ex rel. E. S Clark district attorney versus the board of supervisors of Ya- vapai county" The question at issue involved the right of the board of supervisors to compromise the taxes of the United Verde Copper company for the year 1902. On July 21, 1903, the compromise was agreed upon by the board for the taxes due for the year I9O2-O3, whereby they agreed to accept a sum of about sl5, 600 less than the amount due as per the assessment for the year. Sitting as board of equal ization, at the same time the assess ment for 19U3 was reduced from &, 900, 900 in round numbers to about S1, POO, GOO. The latter action, how ever, did not figure in the suit subse- quently brought by E. s. Clark, who asked for writ of certiorari on the compromise.
 In his petition he set out the belief that the board had exceeded its au- thority in compromising the tax case.

DECISION IN CELEBRATED
 COMPROMISE TAX CASE
Board of Supervisors of this County Meet With Defeat on the Demurrer
 Filed in Their Behalf.

The board employed E. E. ElliD' wood to represent them and be enter, ed general demurrer, but which aE matter ot fact raised the three essen tial points in the case as follows:
 First, that the territory of Arizona was not the proper party to bring the action.
 Second, that the action of the board was discretionary and not judicial.
 Third. that statements has been made in the petition for the writ which did not appear, of record and upon the record alone the board of supervisors would be presumed to have been regular and legal.
 In overruling this demurrer, the court practically decides all the points at issue, and it means that the case has been won by the tax payers, for which they owe a debt of grati- tude to E. S. ,Clark.
 MT. Clark was assisted in the case by Attorney General Wells and the law firm of Andrews & Pattee, all of whom rendered him great assistance, Mir. Pattee giving him specially vslu- able assistance in carrying it through to a successful issue.
