TABOOSKA.

There is a legend, a story old,
\ queer and romantic old tale,
Of a mine found and lost in the dry
Huacavar,
And the bad luck that followed the
trail
Long ago a young brave, as he came
DER the hills,
Found some nuggets of pure virgin
gold;
He brought them to camp, and admon-
ished his squaw
She Was never to tell, so tits told.
Well the brave went to war, led his
tribe and was killed,
And silenced the squaw ere he died,
But like every modern daughter of
Eve.
She couldn't keep still if she tried.
So she told. prospector who came
trekking by,
The tale that her husband had told !;
In the hills to the north where no wa
ter is found,
There was plenty of bright cleaning
gold.
Well the prospector isearched DER the
hills far and wide,
And at last found the gold he was
trying,
But he'd waited too long; all his
water was gone;
Though he'd gold, with the thirst he
was dying.
Well they found him near Drew's; he
was stark raving mad;
He died the next day at the we'll;
He had gold in his pack, but from
whence it had came,
They have never been able to tell.
At night they hear screams; a ghost
has been seen,
By those who have dared there to
stop;
Their horses get frightened, their fire
wont burn
But I'll close; have run out of hop.

a New York telegram says that Jo-
seph J. WiIletts of Alabama. is in that
city as a special commissioner from
southern democrats to urge the New
York leaders of the party to favor re-
peal of the two thirds rule in the ma
tional convention that is to meet in
st. Louis on July 6 next. He says
that southern democrats have had
enough of Bryan and Organism. The
southern states want the Panama canal
and they favor expansion. According
to Mr. Willett, the democratic leaders
in the south fear that Bryan will be
able to control one third of the dele
gates in the next national convention.
If be can do that, even by combining
with some candidate, for the nomina-
tion for president, he will have the
convention practically in his power if
the two thirds rule is not repealed.
MIR. Willett's visit to New York is
for the purpose of urging democratic
leaders in New York and other eastern
states to join with the delegates from
the south to repeal the two thiIds
rule.

Will Soon Appear,

The Eagles Band Stock company is
preparing two plays which will be
produced in this city as soon as the
high school building is completed.
The second story of the school build
ing is being remodeled and fitted up
for an assemblage room and a large
stage is being built in one end of the
room which will afford very good
place for the production of a play.
The seating capacity of the hall will
be sufficient to accommodate quite
good audience. The company is now
preparing for the first production a
play typical of the western country,
the scene being in an Arizona mining
camp. The play is said to be splen-
did one and the production will no
doubt be a very creditable one. The
entire cast will be home talent and
practically the same as 1.-The Power of
Man," which was produced by the
same company some time ago and
which gave such splendid satisfaction,
and demonstrated that Prescott has
some excellent talent in the theatrical
line.

S pIendid Production.

The melodrama of "Circumstantial
Evidence which was produced last
night in the Odd Fellows hall by the
Sun Il Fowler company, under the
auspices of the local lodge of Eagles.
was really one of the best productions
in that line that has been seen in this
city for long time, but the audience
was very light, the hall not being over
half filled. Those who were there all
spoke in the highest praise of the play
and the mastery manner in which it
was produced, under the trying cir
cumstances of an imprOvised stage
l2xlS feet in size, which made the
space so small that the players could
hardly get around, to say nothing of
action.
The story of the play is a most path
etic one, with a vein of humor run
ming through it that frequently
changes the audience from tears to
Outbursts of laughter. Every member
of the company was a star, there not
being an inferior actor or actress on
the stage during the entire evening.
Before the performance began the
Eagles band paraded the streets and
played several selections, aud they
also played two pieces in the hall
The Orchestra from the band furnish
ed the msuic for the evening and this
part of the entertainment was greatly
enjoyed bv the audience.

The Washington correspondent of
the st. Louis Globe Democrat in dis
cussing various naval officers, and
their peculiar personalities has the
following concerning Admiral Clark,
the hero of the Oregon's famous vOy-
age at the outbreak of hostilities be-
tween Spain and the United states: :
Strange as it may seem, he acknOwl-
edges that on one occasion he had
planned to run away from the enemy
in case a certain emergency arose on
that voyage. After turning the Horn,
and while the Oregon was on her way
up the Atlantic coast of South Amer
lea, he rather thought that he might
fall in with the whole feet of Span
ish cruisers-the fleet which was after
wards destroyed at Santiago. So he
called into his cabin the officers of
the ship and told them what he meant
to do if such a thing occurred.
''We'u run like the devil" he said,
"and, inasmuch as the cruisers won't
all of them be equal in speed, we'll
string 'em out and tackling them one
by one, knock HI out of them in de-
tail -

VOTE AGAINST
TWO MILEAGES
After Interesting De-
bate in Congress.
Decide That Members Are Not En-
titled to Compensation for
Travel Not Covered.

Washington, Jan. 3O.--The house
went into immediate committee of the
whole upon converting today with
Tawney, of Minnesota, in the chair,
and resumed the consideration of the
urgent deficiency bill.
Fuller, of Illinois, proceeded to
combat the argument of Littlefield, of
Maine, on the point of order raised by
Maddox, of Georgia, the discussion of
which was pending when the house ad-
journed yesterday.
There we're few absentees today. and
deep interest was manifested on the
mileage question.
Parker, of New York, insisted that
there was nothing to warrant the draw
ing of mileage, in travelling 5000 miles.
During the period the clock was
striking u, by a vote of 165 to moth
ing the house struck out the mileage
appropriation, for both the house
and the senate, from the urgent de
ficiency bill.
Chairman Tawney overruled the
point of order raised by Maddox, OF
Georgia, against the paragraph in the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill
providing for the second payment Of
mileage.

RETURN FROM
WELCOME GROUP
Property Exceeds Most
Sanguine Report.
Ore Body Continues to Hold Out in
An Unexpected Manner-Large
Amount on Dump.

Wells H. Bates, Thomas G. Hunter
and f. p. Vogels, who went down to
the Welcome mining property return
ed this morning. They were accom-
panied on their return by Mr.. Phil
lips, a California mining engineer of
great experience who spent several
days at the Welcome mine, making an
exhaustive examination of it.
E. NJ Harris, who accompanied the
party there went with S. f. Fuller
over to the Bill Williams Fork coun-
try to examine some properties there,
both gold and silver.
The most sanguine expectations in
regard to the Welcome was more than
realized by the examination made.
The body of rich ore encountered
some time since holds out beyond all
expectations. Such falulously rich
ore as was found there, as a rule, only
occurs in pockets or kidneys, but this
has been developed to such an extent
as to prove it to be genuine ore
body, as it has already been proven to
be at least eighty feet in depth, while
the length of it along the vein has not
yet been determined. There are about
fifty tons, probably more than that
of the ore piled up now on the dump
of the mine and the full extent OF
the body not yet determined. This
showing could not but fail to interest
the parties.
Work will be resumed soon in the
further development of the mine when
the work will be under the charge OF
Mr.. Phillips, who has had several
years, experience as d mining superin,
tendent.
Mr.. Vogels, of the party will leave
tomorrow morning for the east. Mr..
Hunter will remain here for three OF
four days and with Mr.. Bates will
make an examination Of some mining
properties in this immediate vicinity
before returning east.

A BarberArrested.

This afternoon about one o'clock,
the sheriff's office received a tele-
phone message to arrest b. B. Ford, a
barber who came up from Phenix a
couple of days ago to work for the
Palace barber shop. The message
simply said that Ford was wanted for
bezzlement but did not give any par
ticulars OF the charge. When Mr.
Ford was placed under arrest be seem
ed to be greatly surprised and said he
could not understand what the charge
was made against him for, as he had
certainly not embezzled anything
from anybody.
The only explanation he could give
of the matter was that a fellow barber
in Phenix had gotten iGto some
trouble and was fined five dollars by
the police court. Being unable to
raise the money to pay the fine he had
soaked his barber tools with fellow
for 50, took the money, proceeded to
fill up on bad whiskey and when the
five was gone surrendered himself to
the officers to serve out his fine 1t
seems the fellow who had put up the
money wanted to get his money out
of the tools and got the consent of the
man in Jail to sell them to Ford.
When Ford looked at the tools he
said he would not give over $50
The barber said to let him have them
and as soon as he got out he would
pay the other 81. 30 himself.
Ford says that the man in Jail may
have refused to pay the amount he
promised and the fellow from whom
he got the tools has caused the arrest.
This is his only solution of the prob
lem this afternoon.

Some of the Washington gossips
are saying that many of the leaders of
the democracy are not only looking
for defeat in 1904, but that they want
defeat, as they see clearly, even if
they should win the presidency and
the house of representatives, the sell
ate would be sure to be against them
for two more years, and probably for
four years. Knowing that they could
not gain full control of the govern
ment in any case, they would prefer
not to get control of any part of it.
If, with the democrats in the presi-
dency, anything should go wrong
with the country they would be
blamed, even though the republicans
should be in the majority in one or
both branches of congress. As the
democrats do not have one chance in
a hundred of success this year, it is
just as we'll that they take a philo-
sophical view of the situation.

Indians In Revolt.

Muscogee, l. T., Jan. 30.-The
Snake Indians ana part of the Creek
tribe are again in revolt, and this
time it seems that there will be blood
she'd. They have been in constant
communication with the KetOOwahs of
the Cherokee nation, holding councils
of war, and as a result the KetoOwahs
have left their homes, stock, grain and
everything, and gone up in the Green
leaf mountains, where they will hold
their war dance.
They say on their return they will
kill every white man in sight. This
was learned through three couriers,
who came in today from Texarkana, l.
T., the seat of the KetOowahs' tribe.
The Snakes have gone to Flat Rock,
where their medicine is made, and
the residents of that section await the
result with anxiety.

Toes not care to have repeated again

station several hours expecting every
few minutes that the track would be
cleared of the wreckage caused by the
freight car jumping the track, and he
finally concluded to borrow a shot
gun of friend and take little rab-
bit hunt. The conductor told him
the train would not leave for an hour
and three quarters, so he started off
across the desert and when about a
mile from the depot the engineer
whistled for the passengers to get on
board as he was about ready to start.
Ed started on a run for the station
and ran the entire distance over rocks
and cactus with gun in hand, but the
engineer, who. had started the train saw
him coming, and stopped for him.

coat and leave the gun and the ,Uei-
neer, thinking he WI, being buuyuCd,

NAME 1T AND TAKE 1T.

BY S. NJ. Wright.
In the choosing 'twixt two evils
Never fail to take the least,
With a strong determination
Not to make of it feast.
When a necessary nuisance
Intermingles with your life
Let it be a patience-tester,
Even tho it be a wife.
But it could not be a wife; nay,
l would never thus delude,
But a female substitution
OF the genus called the prude.
Now, an analogue in specie,
As a sort of interlude,
And a summit for the subject,
Is the genus called the dude.
Let these creatures join in wedlOck-
Dawdling dude and fulsome prude-
They will make happy couple
If they're fed the proper food %
Dessert only, with spoOnlet,
Not to simulate the rude.
Doubtless, dudelets would engender
Dainty dudelets, one or two,
But the name for such a hybrid
Is there any that will do?
Is there scientist or savant
That can name this doodle-dOo?
Said the savant, I've exhausted
Ev'ry language to the core,
And without name | find it -
Simply hybrid, nothing more;
Just a fragment of existence
Floating, nameless evermOre.
Will this slip from Genus Homo
Have a place in Heaven? oh, we'll
Where's the end of speculation?
Even Dante could not tell.
Let the brownies fix the future
OF this nameless, human "swell."

On the 18th instant Senator Cullom
of Illinois reported from the senate
on foreign relations a
slight verbal amendment to the Pan
anna treaty which will require its re-
turn to the isthmus for ratification.
On reflection it was thought wiser to
have the regular constitutional con-
vention now in session in Panama
pass upon the treaty than to rely upon
a juDta of three men, appointed ir-
regularly, who looked at the docu-
ment one day and sent it back the
next. The statesmen in charge of our
affairs at Washington do not mean to
proceed in a slipshod manner.

health commission says that in his

lessness of overcoming that habit in a

that the encounter was not a regular

ment in this case. The prisoner has
