the commissioner as well as other government officials at Bone steel, is in receipt of hundreds of inquiries from men in all parts of the country who offer them- selves as candidates for the va cant positions of husband and farmer, and asking for assistance in being placed in communica- ton with the individuals most directly interested. The core spondence shows there are plen- ty of men willing to take the con- trol of a good farm, even with a wife as an incumbrance. Anoth- CT phase of the same question is shown by the correspondence pouring in on Governor Mickey of Nebraska from young women in the east, because of the Gov ernorn's recent statement that many prosperous farmers in that state needed wives. 1t is easily seen by this that Government officials could do much more bus mess in this line than the best advertised matrimonial bureau, and as government is ordained for advancing the welfare and happiness of the people, why not?

 With Roses, Nit

Editing a newspaper is a nice thing. If we publish jokes peo- pie say we are rattle brained; if we don't, we are fossils. If we publish original matter they say we don't give them enough se- lections they say we are too lazy to write. If we don't go to church we are heathens. If we do go we are hypocrites. If we remain in the office we ought to go out looking for news. If we go out we are not attending to business. If we wear old clothes they laugh at us. If we wear good clothes they say we have a pull. Now. what are we to do2 Just as likely as not someone will say that we stole this from an exchange. So we did; it's from the Tombstone Epitaph, from the Wyoming Derrick.

THE SINEWS OF WAR
Comparison of the Credits of Japan and
 Russia

Japan S successes in Manchuria are re-echoed in the financial markets. A new loan of $15O,- OOO,OO0 was offered during last month, one. half in London and one-half in New York. There was a great demand for it, and New York's quota was subscrib- ed within an hour. Total sub- scriptions in London amounted to about $7OO,OOO,OOO and in New York to $500,OO0,O0O, al- together a sum eight times as much as offered. The bonds of fered bear interest at 41a per cent, may be redeemed in five years and are payable in twenty years. They were offered at S75s. Jap an has now borrowed for war purposes $45O,00O,0OO, but her credit has improved in the last few months, or at least she has confidence to ask for better terms. Last November she borrowed on 6 per cent bonds and the price was but little higher than those lower rate. The contrast with Russia is pronounced. A propos- ed loan of $75,O00,OO0 in France was "postponed" by the commit tee of bankers having it ln charge. It was understood that the French government was back of this action. demanding of Russia that efforts toward peace should be made It was also stated the people of France refused to ab- sOrb any more Ot the Russian debt, of which they now hold such large amount. On the same day that the Japanese loan was so successful, Russian four per cents in St. Petersburg de- clined , points, to S25s, the low est price on record. These fours were bought by sin 1902 at 9712 As regards the "sinews of war;" Japan has an evident advantage over her huge antag- onist.

ST. JOHNS DAM
 BROKE
River OverflOWed But Did No Serious Damage
 Here

News reached here Tuesday night about nine o'clock that the St. Johns dam had broke at two o'clock that afternoon. The Santa Fe brought in 40 empty cars and the merchants began transferring their stocks ofgoods fearing lest the water would get up the buildings. People living on the south side of the track had their household goods nov to the hills north of town and a number of families were camped out there Wednesday, others took lodgings in the courthouse, the latter being the most comfort able as a strong cold wind was blowing all that day.
 A later message, received here about 9 a. m. Wednesday, from John T. Leseuer of St. Johns, sta ted that the business houses at that place had escaped undam- aged but large number of hon. es in the town and vicinity had been washed away. A mexican was drowned. He advised nov ing from the south side of track as in his opinion the water would do great deal of damage here.
 At 6 D. m. the flood reached here and at 9 o'clock was flow ing out of the banks in the low est places this continued four or five hours befor the water began to lecede then it began to take out the rlprap and cut out the banks which was checked by the use of sand bags Outside of the loss of few yards Ot I1ver bank and a few hundred yards of rip rap with the cost ofmoving there was no damage done here.
 Property holders on ~the south side of the track have subscribed $1, ,OOO for renewing the ripraI and already have number o1 teams hauling rock. Several ot our most substantial citizens in timated that they were thor. oughly disgusted with the dam business and intended to have something to say about the con. struction of these nuisances or the Little Colorado, above this place, in the future.
 Merchant have their goods or the shelves and are doing busi ness in the same old way.

THE CHAMELEON.
Some of the Peculiaritics of This
Very Queer Animal.

A most remarkable creature is the
chameleon To all appearances the
nervous centers in one lateral half Of
this animal work independently of
those in the other, and it has two later
al centers of experimentation and
motion-beSideS the common one in
which must reside the faculty of con-
centratiOn. The eyes move independ-
entity of one another and convey sepa-
rate impressions to their respective
centers of perception The consequence
Is that when the animal is agitated its
movements resemble those of two ami
mails or rather perhaps two halves Of
animals glued together Each half
wishes to go its own way. and there is
no concordance of action.
Therefore the chameleon is the only
four legged vertebrate that is unable
to swim. 1t becomes SO frightened
when dropped into water that all facul-
ty of concentration is lost and the crea-
ture tumbles about as if in state of
intOXicatiOn When a chameleon is un-
disturbed every impulse to motion Is

whole organism acts in accordance
with its DEGREES. The eye, for example,
that receives the strongest impression
propagates it to the common center,
which then prevails upon the other eye
to follow that impression and direct
its gaze toward the same object.
Moreover. the chameleon may be fast
asleep on one side and wide awake on
the other. Cautiously approached at

ORIGIN OF THE WALTZ.
This Dance Was First Performed ~
Religious Ceremony.

OF all the millions who waltz. who
can tell how this famous dance orig
mated: The story is Il curious one. 1t
ceived the waltz from Germany toward
the close of the eighteenth century.
The waltz did not emanate in its pres
ent form from the brain of a dancing
master. Long before 1880. the time it
is first mentioned under this name, it
was displayed on the village greens.
The waltz was first danced in the
church and serves to trace the union
between ancient civilization and that
Of the middle ages.
The sacred dance of the pagans is
preserved to a certain extent in Chris
tian rites. 1t is transformed to series
of revolutions made to the sound of the
tambourine. ST. Isadore. archbishop
Of Seville, born about A. y. $50. was
intrusted by the council of Toledo with
the revision of the liturgy as it was
then practiced in the Roman church. in
which there was tambOurne dance.
The council decided to adopt the Isa-
dorian liturgy in all Spain. and it diff
fered but little from that uscl in other
countries at that time.
This rite. celebrated before the eighth
century. when the Moors Hrst invaded
Spain. was still celebrated by the Chris
tians in the seven churches Of Toledo.
which the Moors abandoned after their
capture of the city. and it was after
that time called the Moorish rite. This
was known and employed in Provence
and Italy. The tambourinc in use in this
religious dance was called by st. 1sa-
dore "moite de symphonic" and evil
IDENTIFY corrcSponded to the instrument
which in the ancient sacred dances ac-
companied the flute, sort of bagplpe
invented two centuries before Christ
As the religious dance Of the middle
ages is allied to the ancient sacred
dance so the waltz is an evolution OF
this religious dance. having passed
through many changes before arriving
in its present form. In the eleventh
century. when the GreCorian rite sup
planted the Moorish rite. the dance dis
appeared from the church. 1t appeared
very quickly in society under the name
Of "carole'' Il word derived from the
Latin "caroler"

FAVOR JOINT
STATEHOOD
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE
HOUSE REACH AN IMPORTANT
AGREEMENT.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The Repub-
lican members of the house, in caucus
today, unanimously declared in favor
of admitting Arizona and New Mexico
as one state Both statehood ques-
tiOns are contained in one bill. The
conferences took place Immediately at
the conclusion of the session of the
house and occupied an hour and
half.
The opposition to the program was
directed against joining Arizona and
New Mexico and it is understood that
Mr.. Adams, of Wisconsin, and Mr..
Tawney, of Minnesota, were the only
speakers on this side.
The program of the leaders was pre-
scented at the outset by Mr.. Hamilton.
chairman of the committee on terri
tories, in resolution which he offer
ed. 1t declared it to be the sense of
the conference that one state be made
out of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
and one state of Arizona and New Mex
leo and that the committee on terri
tories be requested to formulate this
plan in one bill.
The Hamilton bill, already introduce
ed. contains the necessary provisions
to meet this plan and will undOubted-
ly meet the measure reported by the
committee Hearings on this bill. and
the question of embodying a consti-
tutional amendment prohibiting the
sale of liquor in the two territories,
was begun today. Aside from this
question, the bill is practically in
shape to report The liquor hearings
will not be heard. and the plan now
seems TO be to delay reporting the bill
until after the holiday recess. When
it is reported a rule will be brought
in for its immediate consideration by
the house.
Cannon Favors the Plan.
The conference had not proceeded
long when the debate was limited to
five-minute speeches and the action
caused complaint by those opposing
the admission of New Mexico and Ari-
IONA
Speaker Cannon took the floor and
spoke vigorously for the two-state
plan. After Mr.. Adams and Mr. Taw-
ney had opposed it, Mr.. Grosvenor took
tnG opportunity 10 redI Il NUMBER Ol
newspaper clippings. giving an account
of what ne termed a "iunket' which
number of members of the house
had taken through the territories last
summer. at which time they had pub
licly stated they would oppose the adj
mission Jointly of Arizona and New
Mexico. Questions were asked as to
the binding character of the confer
ence and replies empnatically indcat
ed that a conference of Republican
members of the house should be con
sidered as binding on the members
participating in it,
Joint statehood was favored by rep
resentatives Smith. of Iowa, Powers
and Littlefield. of Maine, and others
Mr.. Lacey opposed the division o.
the resolution and when both its parts
had been adopted Chairman Hepburn
on being requested to rule on the re
suit stated that the resolution mus
be taken to have been adopted in it:
entirety, that the bill must contain the
statehood measure for the two states
and that there could be no division.
Representative Watson, of Indiana
was chosen by the conference as thu
