Large Balance.

There was collected for the benefit
of the public revenue in 1904 about
100000 more than was expended, ac-
corNing to the reports Of the county
officers to Dr. Patterson. 1t Is pre-
sumed that this went to the payment
of debts or the establishment of a
sinking fund for some such purpose
The reports Of the counties, Of
course, do not include the direct rev.
enues of the state treasury aside from
the amount raised for it by the state
levy, which is collected by the coun-
ties. Therefore the statement that
the cost of government in the state
is about SIS per capita is not exact,
for the additional revenue should be
added to the taxes collected.
The taxes collected amounted, alone,
to $26,166,46 The liquor or mulct
tax was more than $1,000,000, as re-
ported by the county auditors. The
cities also collect half again as much
more, probably. The total expendi-
ture per capita estimated on the
basis of the taxes collected. the total
expended through the counties, and
the direct collections by the state
treasury, should be augmented by
the total direct collections by NUM-
cipal treasures also. So that probab.
ly the $14 estimate is considerably too
low

TO BUILD
 MONUMENT

In addition to the appropriation made by the legislature for the O'Neill monument there are several hundred dollars subscribed by private individ- uals. The exact amount oculd not be learned as 1t is in the hands of two or three individuals. The records were also destroyed during the fire of 1900, as they were in Hotel Burke at the time. It was reported at one time that about g, 800 had been subscribed, but it is thought that this amount was not paid in, many who subscribed to the fund not having paid the amount of their sub b:criptions.
 Under, the bill appropriating the Sl0, 900 the governor is to name com mission to have charge of the building and the distribution of the funds. It is not all unlikely that another ap- propriation will be called for as the amount appropriated will not be suffi- cient to erect the monument as has been planned by some. Whether this will be the case or not will depend largely upon the men selected for the supervision of the monument.

Confession By RarcOurt.

From Fridays Daily.
 A telephone message from Tucson said last night that there was consid- erable excitement there over the Har- court Bartlett episode. Bartlett was arrested last Saturday for complicity with J. F. Barcourt in swindling Al bert Steinfeld out of SIP, 300 last sum- mer by means of worthless jewels. Bartlett's bond was fixed at S5, 900. His preliminary trial took place on Monday and it was with surprise that Harcourt turned states evidence. This was decided upon after the arrival of his attorneys from Los Angeles one of whom is former Governor Gage of Cal ifornia. Harcourt said that he was one of three in the conspiracy against Steinfeld. The other two be said were Bartlett and Dr. Charles Bryson of Los Angeles. Bartlett's share of the plumber he said was g, soc; Bry son, Harcourt swoIe, received g, TOO while he himself kept the balance. He gave a good deal of information concel ming the details of the plot and also of his own life. He said that his name was not Harcourt but Kidd. He had lived by bis wits and had used as many as seven names.
 There is civil case against Bartlett in which Steinfeld is the plaintiff and it was stipulated that the testimony of Harcourt in the preliminary examina- tion should be used at the trial of the civil suit.
 On Monday night a very curious thing occurred and the people of Tue son are still wondering what it means. HarcOurt, who has for some time been out on bond was brought in by hIs bondsmen and surrendered. After conference in which the attorneys of Harcourt and Steinfeld were present Harcourt was released on his own re- cognizance. He and his wife disap- peared that night and no trace of them has since been secured or so tar as is known has any effort been made to locate them. They are sup posed to have gone to Los Angeles. MT. Gage left that night for Los An geles but no one saw Harcourt and his wife board the train.

Big Body of Water.

Very few people in Arizona and probably, even in Flagstaff are aware of the fact that Flagstaff is now with in few miles of what will doubtless be permanent clear water lake. The large dam that was constructed by the Arizona Lumber and Timber company last fall, adjoining the Ice Caves at Clark valley, eight miles from Flag staff, is filled with water, showing that the judgment of the members of the above company was good when they decided to build this dam.
 Mir. Sliker, the cashier of the Ari- zona Lumber and Timber company, has just visited Lake Mary, as this lake is named, and reports that within a couple of days the lake will be filled to the top of the waste way, and that now the water is 2S feet deep, an aver age of one half mile wide and about six miles long, and it is a beautiful sight, surrounded by timber on all sides. The Arizona Lumber and Tim Der company has three small boats for the lake, to be used for pleasure, and are about to order a couple of auto boats; and doubtless the place will become great pleasure resort in the summer time for people from all parts of Arizona and even from adjoining territories and states.
 It was too late to stock the lake with fish last season although one hundred black bass were secured, but this year it is hoped to stock it with at least l5, 900 black bass, and, perhaps some other species of fish. This lake set ties for all time the water supply of Flagstaff and vicinity; and now any additional industrial concerns that heretofore could not consider locating here on account of the water question, may have no further hesitation on this account; and it is probable that the lumber company may now add some additional works, such as sash and door factory, and that in time the town may secure wool securing indus tries. s.-Coconino Sun.

Desperate to Be Executed.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March l6.-Unlesa there is an eleventh hour respite grant ed by Gov. Folk, the "Missouri Kid, " otherwise Wm. Rudolph, alias Chas. Gorney, who despite his youth is re- garded as the most notorious criminal aud desperado that Missouri has pro- duce6 since the days of the James boys, will be executed tomorrow at Union, Mo-, for his part in the rob- bery of the Union bank and the sub sequent murder of Detective Schu- macher.
 Rudolph and George Collins, alias "Black Frank, ' on December 27, 1902, robbed the Bank of Union, Un- ion, Mo-, of over SIP, GOO and Sl1O, GOO in papers. By revolver shots they de- liberately alarmei the citizens of the town before they attacked the bank. Collins, with two large revolvers, held the intruders at bay, while Rudolph, with nitro glycerine, demolished the vault and safe of the bank. Both es- capped on horseback, pursued by pos SC of Union citizens, who failed to pture them.
 Charles J. Schumacher, a detective in the employ of the Pinkertons at St. Louis, was detailed on the case, and in the middle of January obtained a clue indicating that the burglars were then at Stanton, Mo. Schumacher obtained the necessary warrants, and on January g, 1903, accompanied by three deputy sheritfs, planned to ar rest the suspects, who were living in a deserted miners boarding house

situated on hill. When Schumacher and the posse neared the house one of the doors was thrown open by two men, who afterward proved to be Ru- dolph and Collins. They opened fire on Schumacher, who fell, whereupon Collins deliberately fired two shots into Schmacher's head. The posse re treated and the despefadoes escaped.
 After their flight detective search ed the house, and found sheet of common writing paper on which was written several times, "Fred Lewis, 7" "Fred Laduix, Hartford, Conn. {" Search determined that Fred LaduiX was lieutenant in the United States army, but that he had been killed in Manila; that Fred Lewis of Hartford, Conn.,, had been a member of La duix's company, and that Fred Lewis was George Collins, of Hartford, Conn.,, whither the PinkeTton repre- sentatives, renewing their search, To- cated Collins there associating with Rudolph.
 Collins and Rudolph were taken to Union, Mo, and lodged for safekeep- ing in the county jail at St. Louis, from which, on July :, 1903, Rudolph made a most daring escape through a skylight in the roof, jumping sixty feet to the ground.
 On July 9, 1903, Collins was con victed of murder in the first degree, and hanged on March 25th last. Mean while Rudolph was located in the Lansing, Kans., prison, to which in- stitution be had been sent for a safe burglary. He was brought back to Missouri and convicted the day Col lins was executed. At the time of the Union robbery neither Rudolph and Collins had attained his twenty first year.

The Drinker and The Law.

Law is in nature pitiiess. Be
obedient to it and you are free from
injury through its operation; be dis
obedient and you are caught under its
power and it will work its sway upon
you. Civil law is just as pitiless. Be
transgressor and you are punished.
Some who drink under the frenzy that
liquor induces commit crime that
brings them Immediately before the
bar of the court. Others become so
debased through drink that every
noble feeling is stifled, and being ruled
by The baseness of their natures, do
such deeds as make them accountable
before the bar of the law. Civil law
has specific penalties for very misde
meanor. A drunkard can hardly
avoid breaking the law. His path
is surely leading toward the bar of the
court.

The Saloons.

Now truly, Mr.. Drinking man, what
are the saloons but guided places to
allure the flower of the land? The
saloons are this and nothing more.
Behind the bar is to be found alcohol
in many forms. Mirrors and bottles
are there. The man before the bar
can see in the mirrors his face and
that of his chum near by. If those
mirrors would reflect the future Of
those two, future as made by the
contents of the bottles in view, do you
think that they would stand in front
OF the bar any length of time? At
first it would be difficult to trace the
motives that lead young men to 60 to
the bar for drinks. But after the
habit Of drinking is formed there is
no motive present. The youth who
goes under the force of habit to the
bar is simply slave: poor fellow, he is
mastered by a power that degrades
and will ultimately ruin. To stand
before the bar in a saloon is a perilous
thing TO do.
