 Der of Daneerous Looking 4S.

Thos. Flannigan. district attorney of this county. was in Bisbee this week on his return from Paradlse' where he was called on legal business.
 Mir. Flannigan brought the news ot a thrilling occurrence at Paradise Tn which James H. Knowles, the super inteudent of the Chiricahua Develop ment company. bluffed would-be- murderer who had him covered all the time with q 45 Colts six-shooter.
 Boylcs formerly worked in Bisbee. and is described as of medium height and weighs about 2o pounds. He left here and went to Paradise. where he was employed by the Chiricahua company as foreman. His services were not satisfactory. and later he was discharged by the superintend- ent. Boyles remained in the camp for several days, and on Tuesday met Superintendent Knowles on the street. thrust a six-shootcr in his face, and threatened to blow his head of. Knowles stood his ground and defed his a>sailant to carry out his threat, and adding that if he came close enough to him he would take the gun away from him.
 BOyles evidently was not looking for this cool reception and slunk away. Later he was arrested and released on d cash bond of S50. which he deposited, and securing q horse started south from Paradise in the direction of the Mexican line.-Bis- he.. R.e,-ieu

SINCE Kansas led of in the fight against the Standard oil company all of the states are beginning to know that they are greater than any monopoly, and the fight is now on all along the line. Kansas has broadencd its investigations so as to include all trusts. Judge Parker said in one of his speeches that it was not so much the need of legislation against the trusts as it was the lack of enforcing existing laws. An so it k. When the people once make up their minds to put down the trusts they will succeed. From appearances the time has now arrived. The people are aroused and they have reached that point where they will brook no interference from politicians or officials. It may take little time. but the death knell of trusts, as they have been in the past, has been sounded.

IT SEEMS that charges have been filed against Judge kibbey. which de- Iaved his confirmation by the senate. The charges. 50 far as made public. do not seem to be of q serious nature. and doubtless are more in the nature of spite work than anyting else. It has been alleged for one time that Judge Kibbey was in favor of joint statehood. which. while not crime. would bc sufficient to raise strong Op- position to him throughout the terri tory. Judge Kibbcy was quite active in the fight against Justice Street q few years ago. and it is thought that much of the opposition comes from this source. The appointment of Judge Kibbey was wei! received throughout the territory. He is an old timer. and the people know him and like him. Should his coufirma- tion fail. it i5 likely that the presi- dent will send Us governor from '.tht. states =

 LATE dispatches from New York announce that definite plans have now been formed for the building of the Fl Paso X Durango railroad. and that the Southern Pacific is no longer a factor. The road will be built by the Fl Paso X Southwestern and the Denver X Rio Grandc, which has long wanted an outlet into the southwest. According to the dispatch the road will run SOuthcrly from Durango and will cross the santa Fc at one of two places either twenty miles east or twenty miles west of Gallup. The road will then strike down through the famous American valley, and open up valuable timber. farming and grazing areas. Swcrving east crlv and crossing the divide, the road will follow down d tributary of the Rio Grandc and strike the river up above the big bend. The rest of the way into Fl PaSo will he simply d parallel to the santa Fc, but on the opposite side of the river. This statement. however. is not in har- monv with statements made in the Douglas papers that a surveying corps would soon he put in the field from LOrdSburg to Durango. In d recent interview with Professor Douglas. published in the American, was quoted as saying that Phelps Dodge N Co. were not anxious to build the road. and would not build it if they could make satisfactory ar rangementS with some other com pauv for it's construction. but that the road must be built. and at once. PhclpS-Dodge X Co. are such eXtcn- sive consumers of coal. coke, lumber and mining timbers that it will pay them to build the road to protect themselves on the prices of these necessary supplies. The ERA does not yet believe that the Southern Pacific has abandoned it's intention of building up the Frisco river. via Clifton to the coal and timber fields of northern Arizona and New Mex leo They have the shortest and most available route, and besides. during the past few years they have lost so much of the business of south ern Arizona that it would seem that they would not let the rest of it go without q desperate struggle.

IION. LAMAR COBB has presented q bill in the legislature providing an appropriation of 5000 for the pur- pose of rebuilding the school house for the south Clifton school district, which Was badly wrecked by the flood of January 10th. The legislature has been somewhat liberal in appropria- tionS up to the present time, and surely will not turn down q bill of such vital importance to the we'll being of several hundred children. The Graham county delegation can be depended upon to do all in their power for the passage of the bill.

to accounts Calf

ACCORDING to accounts California legislators are going very cheap this year. averaging $50 each, or in blocks of three for 5000. This Is said to be the lowest price ever made in California, though the price may now advance slightly. as four sena- tors were caught in the act of bribe taking and are now under indict- mcnt. The price in Missouri is sup posed to average 5000 spot, or at least that was the ruling price until Governor Folk made so much trouble. since which time it has probably doubled. An attempt was made in Indiana last week to cut the price to an even Sl00. which was met with in- d.gnation from all the members. \ member arose in his seat and stat ed that he was in receipt of d sealed envelope upon the back of which was written d request for him to vote for q certain bill There were many re- quests for him to open the envelope. which he did, and then pulled out d crisp SlO0. The members of the house were very indignant. The lobbyists have received lesson which they will not soon forget. Since all this trouble in Oregon, where all the con ".cSsmcn, one senator and most of the politicians are under indictment, it k expected that prices on con ercssmcn and senators will advance materially during the year. Senator Mitchell's price for looking after small jobs. Was only 5000. though in bigger deals he expected better pay. So far the evidence does not show that he turned down anything.

Beef Trust Maenates in Trouble.

The first step leading to the possi- blc indictment of the members of the beef trust was taken at Chicago one day last week. A special grand jury vcnire was ordered drawn and deputy United States mar shals were sent out after various members of the trust Indictments will be sought on charges of direct violation of the injunction issued some time ago by Judge Grosscup of the United States Circuit court re- straining the members of the trust from illegally combining in the re- straint of interstate commerce. This decision was recently upheld by the United States Supreme court.
 For more than eight months an in- vestigation has been carried on se- cretly in Chicago. Orders came from Attorney General Moody to United States District Attorney Bethea to take up the work in the case Bethea was twice ordered to Washington to receive instructions in the matter.
 Dr. H. p. Mofitt recently visited Cloudcroft and exhibited some rare ore specimens from his mines. con- taining gold. silver, copper and uranium. He says he has eXperienc- ed d new shock in mining this ore He was affected as if by a battery. receiving severe shocks. In the dark this ore sends out great light. and when handled in the smelters there is an output of radium. The speci- mems he has found are in the pich blend containing also lead and iron. His discovery of uranium has created much excitement and he has sent specimens to Paris. France, as it is not handled in America. One pound contains a power said to be equal to 300 tons of nitro-glycerine. Dr. Moi fit is backed by eastern capital and they are determined to develop the property to the fullest possible ex- tent.

The White Gold Mining company is working its newly created 2o-stamp mill and cyanide plant to their full est capacity and adding materially to the gold product of Yavapai county. This section of that county has remained practically dormant ever since the palmy days when the old Nulture poured out its golden treasures, although it is the greatest mineralized section of Arizoha. hay ing many very large lodges of low grade ore in gold, silver, copper and lead. It remains for large capital to develop here a numjer of properties that will eclipse either the Home stake or Treadwell as dividend payers.

As the bill now stands the small and large coun- ties may have the court by voting fayorably on the proposition. but it i, forced onto the middle class coun- ties whether they want it or not. A Considerable amount of opposition has been developed to the bill all over the territory. The people as class do not want it. It will create several fat offices. and that is about the hest that can be said for it.

IT NOW seems to be definitely settled that the president will call a special session of congress for the purpose of taking up the railway rate question. Congress is now in a humor to handle the question. hence it is most probable that the railroads of this country will soon be practically under the supervision of the general government. This bill should also include telegraph and express com panies. but as long as men like Platt. the head of the express companies,

Intendant a minute afterward opened their eyes in feverish curiosity when they struck a match and scrutinized the object in Ike's hands. It was homing pigeon, mouse-colored, with It's head battered to pieces. Around It's neck was tied piece of envelope which look ed very disappointing at first But when the Intcndant tore the envelope further and saw a piece of scrawled paper inside, he shot an interesting glance at the doctor who bent over MT. Boiling. The latter made out enough to read by dim candle-light:
 Dear Doc-Perhaus you thought I was going to fail you, after all. l did have unusual difficulties in getting my spec imens but you may be sure that when did get. hold of them they were mine and none of the others in the emerg- ency hospital knew anything about them. You will find the infected mos quitoes, six in all, in the envelope with this note which have entrusted to wireless Mir. Pigeon. Trusting this will suffice for your microscopical research, I am, Sincerely,
 John"
 The Intendant lowered the letter and looked into the glittering eyes of the doctor The doctor was at last assured. He cast a swift look round for Ike and darted to his side to pick up the rag of q pigeon carcass which lay on the floor. He took this in his hand and asked Mir. Boiling for tho letter and envelope. He hurried to the depot with Ike and the intendant at his heels. There they began to search the letter and envelope more minutely for'the ad- dress and the date. The blurred ink was at last deciphered and the doctor was able to announce that 1t had been seat from the eminent fever expert, pr. Bacez, in the Emergency Hospital In New Orleans to his friend, another ex- pert, in St. Louis. The last evidence of the origin was obtained and the eyes of the Health Officer gleamed with sat isfaction. He was now prepared to leave for the Capital City and put in the medical museum the stranded pigeon and the historic note.
 Well, I guess I'll get into this bot tie and get me pickle or two, as haven't had anything to eat in good while" said the telegraph operator in a careless loud voice.
 The doctor happened to look towards the operator. He whirled through the wicket-gate into the office. exclaiming:
 Look out. my dear sir. the secretary has been very careless. I must say, to leave this bottle around. Give that to me, that is our specimen. I am sorry you were misled. It is not pickle. sir trust you will let me have this before I catch my train. It is coming now. Give me a ticket right quick.
 Staggering back the hungry but en- frightened operator came near dropping the important bottle. The Health Off, ficer seized it and made the boy me- chanlcally stamp a ticket to the Capital City.

NUNS FIRST POWDERED HAIR.

 The custom ot powderlng the hair dates back as far as the sixteenth century and was first introduced by the nuns in the French copvents. Those who had occasion to
 leave the cloisters for any reason were wont 10 powder their hair so as to make it ap- pear gray and give them q venerable look. The fashionable danes were so struck with the novel effect of white powder on dark hair that they soon appropriated the device as one of tho arts of the worldly toilet, Out of this grew the nse of tints in the hair.

An Earnest Appeal for
 Good Roads in Alabama
By JOHN CRAFT, Mobile.

As Chairman of the Committee on Good Roads of the Alabama Commer- cial and Industrial Association. have undertaken to collect statistics from all the counties of our State. There fore I have written to each County Judge of Probate to ascertain what had been done in the way of building up good apermanent roads, and how many miles of good roads had been built during the year.
 I am very sorry to say that only one-third of these letters of inquiry were answered. regret that did not receive an answer to each or my letters as I am anxious to ascertain what Is being done towards the up- building of our highways in each county of our State. More than two- thirds of the counties, If they received the letters did not see proper to even answer these public questions that are of so much importance to the well fare of our people.
 The object of the Chairman of the Committee on Good Roads is to indt- cate what position Alabama holds in comparisons with other States as to this Good Roads movement and what is being accomplished for the better ment of permnnent highways l have observed that in some of the States, especially New Jersey, New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Michigan, Ohio, California and Colorado, great pro gross is being made for permanent roads Millions of dollars are being spent in these States. The State of New York has recently passed a bill at the last legislature. in which the sum of $50, 100000 Is to be spent, at the rate of $5,O00,000 a year for the next ten years for improvement of it's highways. Pennsylvania is expend- Ing 33.00O.000 a year on it's highways. New Jersey, the pioneer of Good Roads, is spending large sums Ohio, Miehi- gan and q number of other States are doing likewise. Our sister State, Lou isiana. is now advocating a bond issue of $3,50O, 900 for Good Roads.
 There should be a wide spread in- terest for better roads in our States. and the question, how to get good per manent roads Is one of paramount i'm portance to the welfare of our State. I have therefore urged that the Ala bama Commercial and Industrial As- sociation take active steps to have permanent, uniform State laws enacted at the coming legislature,
