| which he describes half with m0ck-penl-
tence and halt with pride. Fraud is the
expression of his nature. He is a gentle
man of fortune, an adventurer, charlatan
and liar. 1t is a foolish lamb that trusts
him. Moreover nobody honors the man
who turns states evidence. He is the
man he was when his admitted crimes
were done, and meaner than his COM
panions, whose secrets he tells to save
himself. Nevertheless, the law has need
of him. His uncorroborated evidence goes
for little but it guides investigation. 1t
leads to better evidence. Mr. Lawson S
charges against the insurance companies
are already bearing fruit. Because OF
them these great depositaries for widow
and orphan will be less rapacious. Ihey
will probably reach the same condition
as saving banks, and the lurid pictures
of Mr.. Lawson will have brought that
dav nearer. He has charged the directors
with much of which they are innocent,
but his charges have shown how wrongs
can be committed under the current sys'

MIR Rockefeller WinCes.
Even the biggest fortune in the world
backed bv a personal consciousness OF
sanctity, is not enough to compensate
Mr.. Iohn D. Rockefeller for the scorn and
aversion of his kind. Stung by the COM
ments on his gift OF 100000 to the
American Board of Foreign Missions,
concerning which the only controversy
was whether the money of an unrepent.
ant criminal was irredeemably tainted
or not, Mr.. Rockefeller has had an official
defense published over the signature OF
S. c. T. Dodd, general counsel of the
Standard Oil Company. Mr.. Dodge re-
peats the familiar assertion that the
Standard Oil Company has not received
rebates since the passage OF the Inter
state Commerce law. He also asserts
with solemnty that the company docs
not own a share of stock of any railroad
company, nor does it control any rail
road company" naively unconscious OF
the public education in the distinction be-
tween the Standard Oil Company and
STANDARD OIL" He denies that either
the Standard Oil Company or Mr.. John
D. Rockefeller personally has any interest
in gas or copper corporations. The
graver charges from which most of the
public feeling has arisen he ignores. The
chief significance of this statement is the
evidence it affords that the greatest
financial magnates are not insensible to
public opinion, and that in consequence
society has another weapon of defence to
reinforce the feeble law. President Had
ley's suggestion of social ostracism tor
criminal 6nanciers, which was ridiculed
as absurdIy impracticable, appears in the
light Of this revelation to have some
value Golfers Weekly.

Catarrhal Troubles Prevalent.
Spring Months Cause Catarrh. Breathe
Hyomei, and BE Cured.

Catarrhal troubles are more common
at this season than an any other time OF
the year. The sudden changes that come
during the spring months are productive
of many cases of catarrh that without
proper treatment will become chronic.
The pleasantest, most convenient, and
only scientific method for the treatment
and cure of catarrh, is Hyomei. Simply
put twenty drops in the little pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, and
then breathe it for three minutes four
times day.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, and as the inhaler will last a
lifetime and there is sufficient Hyomei for
several weeks treatment, it is the most
economical catarrhal remedy known.
Extra bottles can be procured for fifty
cents. Ask W. B. Eastman to show you
the strong guarantee under which hi
sells Hyomei.

Our navy departments taking a stand
against the continuance of saloons in the
seaport town of Bremerton, Wash, and
declaring that no vessel shall be sent
there for repairs until the saloons are
abolished, is preaching the best temper
ance sermon this country has heard for
years. Six Of the 13 saloons of Bremen
ton are on the street leading to the navy
yard and repairs aggregating in wages
and supplies OF over 100000 have been
transferred from Bremerton to another
port. The adage that money talks is
liable to be heard pretty often in Bremen
ton it is hardly supposable that the
townspeople will prefer rumshops to q

Current Press Comment.
The Governor Advertising Vermont


Governor Bell cannot be criticized for
lack OF readiness in the support of Yer
mont when he is outside. He is giving
the state more advertising through his
speeches than has been the case with any
Governor for some time. His course in
that respect is very creditable. Vermont
is a state that has enough good points
to talk about without straining the
imagination. Governor Bell, through
his work of the past few years, has been
most intimately acquainted with the
agricultural interests of the whole state
and he does not talk Of abandoned farms
and the hopelessness OF farming in Yer
mont. Far from it. He gives words of
encouragement for the Vermont farmer
wherever he goes and shows up the re-
sources of the state as WE'LL Montpelier

Overwhelming demonstration of public
opinion as to make his nomination in

ing a man that ever tries to do ANYTHING
promises now to fight Roosevelt through
his term and then get rid Of him. Th,

JAMES STORM, INNOCENT.

It is a curious anomaly that while nine-tenths of the citizens of Prescott believe James P. Storm guilty of hay ing robbed the county, and so express themselves openly and unreservedly, yet twelve men have reached the con clusion that tho ex-treasurer is an in nocent, ard 10 doubt a much abused man.
 By what peculiar authorization five of the jury who upon the first ballot voted for conviction, and subsequent ly reversed their judgment, is a secret that will be forever locked up within the tortuous recesses of their own mentalities
 The only reasonable explanation that can be made of such verdict is that the jurors were swayed by sentiment, and were induced to believe that be- cause the bondsmen made good the de- ficit, the county had not suffered. and therefore the companionable Mir. Storm should not be punished.
 It is only fair to Storm to state that the evidence was purely circumstantial. No one saw him take the missing money, and his admission that he made a practice of juggling with checks, is excused on the ground that such has been the custom of his predecessors in office The practice is not only il- legal, but highly reprehensible, and we hope that the revelations that have been made will operate as bar to any further efforts in this line of fren- zied finance.

ELECTRIC POWER IN MINES.

At recent meeting of the Manehes-
 ter Geological and Mining Society, an
 Interesting discussion on the neees-
 city of taking precautions against ac-
 cident in low voltage electric plants
 reference was made to fatal acci- dent caused by a low pressure electric current in a Lancashire colliery One speaker referred to the Tact that al though high pressure currents were thought to be more dangerous, the greater proportion of accidents, seri- Ous or fatal, were in connection with low and not high pressures. The ex plantation was that colliers were dis posed to give a wide berth to high pressures. but fancied they could with impunity touch a low-pressure wire. Then came a time when the contact was unavOidably prolonged, and the conditions were favorable" and death ensued. It ought to be clear ly understood, MT. c. II. Winstanley said, "'by all those who in any way have to do with electricity in mines, that electricity is still electricity, whe- ther it be generated Gnd used at 100 volts or 10000 volts; that current at ,OOO volts has been known to kill, while current at 10000 volts can do no more.
 In the one case there cannot be doubt as to the results; in the other there is room for doubt. With the low-pressure current, although scores of people can speak of receiving shocks of 100, 200, 300, 800 volts, or even higher, without serious results, still the doubt is there, and one ought to take the benefit of the doubt and avoid the risk of shocks at high pressure. It connot be too clearly understood that although the pressure determines the amount of current it may pass through i the body of person receiving a shock

Armour Refrigerating Company has an immense ice plant and cold store age warehouse nearly completed, rail road division shops. roundhouse, ele- gant depot, reservoirs, etc. are in the course of erection, and the townsite company has given pledges to at once commence water. sewerage. and elcc- tric lighting systems. in sort to do all possible 10 insure Las Vegas be- ing foremost in the list of Nevada cities.

Yet upon this frontier of the wild and wOOily west. if such still ex- ists, perfect order was observed. every man respected the rights of his fel- lows, hence the minions of the law were neither in evidence nor needed.
 Before we left, the town had al ready started its growth, men dotted the(landseape with pick or shovel, ham mer or saw in hand, building mate rials were being delivered. contract ors were busy with patrons. and it is evident that in but a few months a city of homes will have been built where until recently only silence has reigned and the wilderness held sway.

it is not pressure that kills, but eEI- rent; not volts, but ampere. I am not quite sure that the current is to prove danger, but I believe it is a small fraction of an ampere Gener- ally speaking, the resistance of the human body being very high, a low pressure is not capable of passing even this small current, and the shock is not serious or fatal. Everything depends upon circumstances, and it is quite pos sible that the condition of the person receiving the shock may be such that a sufficient current may pass to pro- duce fatal results even with a law pressure. In the fatal case under consideration the victim was heated; he was perspirihg, and his naked back came in contact with live wire with low pressure. There was thus a bread area of moist body brought into contact, and death resulted"

- ~- s---e-- ------
 The judge in his charge to the jury occupied but fifteen minutes of time. He read the section of the penal code under which this indictment had been procured, and then read the indict- ment. The charge was thoughtful and impartial.
 Attorney Morrison then opened the argument on behalf of the prosecution. The courtroom was n,ore crowded than usual, spectators evidently having been attracted by the desire to hear the attorneys in their argument. Mr. Morrison's s address was a forcible and logical presentation of the facts as addueed by the evidence, and his bril- liant effort held the crowd in rapt at tention until the hour for adjournment.
 The arguments will be completed to- day, and the fate of Storm will be placed in the hands of the jury pro bably before sunset.

NOT ALL ONE WAY.

With an acceptance by Governor Otero of New Mexico of the proposed invitations to be sent by the board of trade and Gov. Kibbey inviting him to visit Phoenix with his official staff, on the occasion of the holding of the anti-ioint statehood convention, that affair will take on something of an in terterritorial affair.
 Many there are in ArIzona who have been laboring under the mistaken idea that the citizens of New Mexico were almost unit in their advocacy of joint statehood. whereas the truth is that there is a large and very influen- tial party of New Mexicans that is as bitterly opposed to jointure as is Arizona. And while the influence of the antis in our sister territory is per haps not quite as strong as is that wielded by Arizona. nevertheless it is very much in evidence and will make itself felt when the time comes for real action.

Optimistic View of Prescott's Future.

Gus Heyman, who is probably the best known travelling salesman in the southwest, and who has made Arizona on periodical business trips for more than twenty years past, is highly elat- ed with existing business conditions Upon reaching Prescott yesterday morning he made a hurried trip among his customers, and was preparing to leave on the outgoing train when he was asked how he bad found business. His reply was typical of Gus in his serious moments, aS he said:
 "You know me, I can jest and tell a funny story ead all that, but when it comes to b---ses matters, es- pecially in Arizona. -ome pretty nearly knowing whot m talking about never har, seen Arizona in all my twenty odi ears experience here, as prosperous as it is right now, and the outlook is equally good On this trip made a whole lot of small points that I do not visit regularly, and I was surprised with what I ran up against.
 "Why, man there are shafts being unwatered and deepened that have not been looked at for years past. Mills are being overhauled, and prepared for service that have not turned a wheel for two or three years. Hoists are be- ing repaired, and reftted, that have lain idle for many moons, and in ev- cry district that I visited I saw re- newed activity that speaks volumes for the immediate future.
 "Business3 Why, there's busi- ness and plenty of it, everywhere. I havn't taken off a balanee-havn' had time, but I believe this trip of mine will prove a record breaker. You can tell all your friends that Gus Heyman says Arizona looks better to him right now than ever before, and people who know me know that I know what I'm talking about. So long-I've got to keep moving. You know-old story-make hay while the sun shines,'' and the hustling drum mer bounced into a hack to catch the outgoing freight.

The judge who sat in the ease of Nan Patterson has expressed the opinion that she killed Caesar Young, but that she probably did not intend doing so. All the circumstances point to the soundness of this conclusion. It is incredible that Young committed suicide; there was rothing to impel him to such an act; but Nan had a good deal to gain by running bluff. and she probably did so, with fatal result to her former paramour.

 Both the prosecution and the de. fense in the Storm trial rested their case yesterday afternoon at 3.3O, and after fifteen minutes charge to the Jury by Judge Sloan, the prosecution commenced it's argument.
 Deputy Sheriff w. Johnson return ed yesterday at ? o'clock, having brought back J. $. and Weston Martin from Williamson valley, two cowboys, who were in this city on November S, 1904. Johnson left Prescott Tues day afternoon at ? o'clock, rode one hundred and ten miles, and brought back his witnesses all in twenty-fOur hours time.
 The Martins were put on the stand by the prosecution in rebuttal of tes- timony on the part of w. H. Ferguson given on Tuesday, who swOre that he saw two men pass Dougherty's store on November at o clock, who an swered to the description of the rob bers given by Storm.
 It was expected to show in rebuttal that the Martins were the parties who were seen by Ferguson, but they tes- tified that they left town about Il O o'clock, while the Ferguson suspects were observed about o'clock that day.
 The Martins were the last witnesses called, and both sides closed their case.
