TWO STORIES OF LUCK.
AfhdaVits, Unfortunately, Have Not

AtfidaVits, Unfortunately, Have Not
Been Recorded.
Probably readers of this column
have enjoyed laugh long before now
at the amazing story of the luck of
the Liverpool man who returned to
his native city after a ten years alb
sence in Australia, and while retail
ing to friend, as they walked along
a bye-street, how, just before leaving
home, he lost shilling at that very
spot, suddenly stopped and picked
up-not shilling, but twelve-penny-
worth of coppers! Whatever evil
dence there may be in support of the
truth Of that story, the following
stroke of luck can be vouched for.
Last week, Liverpool business man
was dispatching a message from a
telegraph office at one of the railway
stations in the city, and, when paying
for the message, momentarily placed
three soyereigns on the ledge beside
the Office window. Half an hour later,
when at his own Office, he discovered
that he had forgotten to take up his
gold before leaving the station. He
hurried back Immediately, and there
stood the three sovereigns untouched.

people gathered at the opera house to
greet him. The crowd waited until 10
O'Clock being entertained by r. E.
Morrison, who arrived early in the af-
ternoon froml Prescott. MI. Fowler
was detained at Winslow on account
of the failure of the westbound trains
to get through from Albuquerque.
Mr.. Morrison talked for one hour and
a half in order to give time for the
arrival of the nominee. The crowd
was dismissed at 10, the announce
ment being made that another meeting
would be held Saturday night, this
date being open. Fowler was met at
the station by committee of ten citi-
zens and escorted to his hotel where
an impromptu reception was held.
Indications for a rousing meeting for

Information came to the postoff1ae

from the japanese postal administra-

always followed when there had been
mishap in the delivery of mail

ed to the state department for action,
as was done with the case of ordinary
U. S. mail on the vessel at the tine
she was seized. This latest phase of
the seizure has caused much surprise
in official circles and if the action of
opening the pouch so addressed to tie
Cincinnati was Willingly done it IS
probable that second protest will be

SHERIFF ROBERTS BILL.

That the people should not be mis-
lead or not understand the question
in dispute between the sheriff and the
board of supervisors of this county on
the settlement of a certain bill, the
following is published to clearly de-
fine the issue on that matter. Over
one year ago the sheriff submitted to
the board a bill of Sc, 645. %. Later
the board reduced this amount to
s., 1862. 20. The sheriff resi- ted this
action and the matter was taken to
the district court where it is today
pending a decision. This bill was dis
puted by the board of supervisors on
the ground that the difference between
the original bill in amount and the
amount as allowed, some 81, 2S3. %,
was for the performance of eXtradition
services rendered and acknowledged
by the board. The county however
refused payment of this sum above on
the ground that the statutes provide
that the territory shall bear this bur-
den, and on the other hand the terri
tory refuses to pay for extradition ser
vices because the county received the
benefit of it.
Heretofore the rule has been for the
county to pay for this srevice, but in
this particular instance the bill as
above submitted was disallowed on the
ground covered by the statutes. The
question of the county paying the
same or the territory doing so in no
way should associate Sheriff Roberts
in the eyes of the people as presenting
an Legitimate claim. The service
was performed by him and duly &C
knowledged by the county, and it is
a case of the sheriff resorting to the

thousands of questions from people
who could not understand the secret
of his success in forcing the nomina-
ton and election of President McKin-
ley against apparently formidable
odds.
&" He's nothing but business
man., they said.
"Not long ago l encountered man,
a democrat of considerable reputation
from the state in which occurred the
campaign which has been described,
and asked him about the reputation
as a politician of the national commit
teeman who had swung the state from
doubtful to sure republican.
" why, he isn't any politician at
ALL" said the democrat. He just
happened to be on the national COM
mittee in year when the state was
naturally republican. He's nothing
but plain business man"
"There was the secret of the whole
campaign and its result. Hanna, the
business man, at the head of the ma
tional committee, relied on business
men to carry out his plans by plain
business methods. IS. F. Chronicle.
The above serves as an illustration
of what the people are drifting toward
in the line of political considerations.
The business qualifications of candi-
date are surely superceding the do
nothing hot air methods of political
nominees, and the case is brought
home to this territory and the county
in a broad and striking manner in
this campaign especially. Mr.. Fowler
is a business man of the first water
and cannot be set aside on that princi
pie. Mark Smith represents only what
he has accomplished, viz, fooling the
people all of the time. Political par
ties are hereafter to be judged by what
they accomplish, and the men who are
to handle their affairs must be of that
type and character that get down to
the bedrock on business qualifications.
1t is high time that the people of this
territory we're awakening to this fact.

The Yavapai Attorney Acts as Sub
stitute For the Democratic
Candidate.

Hon. H. G. Ross, of Prescott, was
the first speaker. Mr.. Ross is an ex-

and an interesting speaker. He gave
the apologies of the Hon. Marcus A.
Smith, who was billed to speak but
could not be present, in a convincing
manner. Marcus Aurelius had to go
to the southern countries to look up
his matters political, and had to leave
Apache democrats to work out their
own savlation at the present time.
