Bad Place for Worklpgmen.

A young man who recently went from
this county to California, writes the
CENSOR from Lodi respecting condition
of wage workers in that country. He
says Lodi is q town of about two
thousand inhabitants and Is situated on
the Southern Pacific railway, about one
hundred and ten miles northeast from
San Francisco and about forty miles
south of Sacramento. This little place
is as beautiful as my town l was ever
il. | am told by people who know that
the railroads in the east are booming
this country. The truth is that Califor-
MIA is nothing like the books and papers
read. The boats bring in hundreds of
Chinese and Japs, who are taking the
places Of girls and doing the cooking
and washing at many private houses
for four bits per day and board them
selves. They also take the places of
men on the ranches and in the vine
yards for little of nothing and board
themselves. The railroads are also do
ing their share, for they bring thousands
to these parts looking for work, which
cannot be had for all even in the busy
times. People get here and have to live
In the daY time q person can 20 tC the
depot and count forty men in one day
travelling up and down the rails with q
blanket or two on their backs, looking
for work and begging at bac'' doors.
some are getting starved Only night
before last one fellow held up one of the
town lads here and took his watch and
seven dollars all he had and then tried
to make him go and get some mere for
his partner. But still working people
will come. This town Is as good for
work as any in the state. but the work
ing people are overlooking the country.
This is beautiful state to visit if per-
son has spare money 10 spend aud then
returns home in the east, but do say
to working people stay away If you
want to makeand save money.

Coed Prices for Wool .

The wool market opened brighter
than for number of years, and there
is lively interest in gathering the clips
from all directions. The demand for
wool is heavy IN all the buying and
manufacturing points in the country.
In the local market the price opened at
25 cents for unwashed clips, and still
better prices have been offered in some
instances, with liability that still higher
prices will prevail

MEETS A SAD AND AWFUL DEATH.
Mrs ". :. Arnold Succumbs to Injuries Received
In Removing Burning Lamp

One Of the most shocking tragedies
ever occurring ii our city took place,
yesterday about noon, when Mrs. Wy
man S. Arnold was so terribly burned
that she passed away at three o'clock
this morning. Mrs. Arnold was mp
stairs in her home and had a Rochester
lamp lighted with which to heat cur
ling iron. While carrying the lamp she
dropped it, setting fire to the carpet.
She first freed the carpet from fire and
then grabbing the burning lamp, hur-
ried downstairs to throw it out of doors.
By this time her clothing had caught
fire and she ran for assistance to the
nearby home of her sister, Mrs. Fred
Davis. The flames were extinguished with
great difficulty, and not before the un-
fortunate woman was frightfully burn
ed. Medical attendance was promptly
secured and it was the Intention to move
the sufferer to a La Crosse hospital, this
morning, but Notwithstanding every
thing possible was done, Mrs Arnold
passed away.
The blow is crushing one to the fond
husband and father. A little daughter,
eight months old, and son Everett, nine
years of age, are bereft of their beloved
mother and deprived Of her kind care
and loving ministrations. The family
just recently moved into their present
nome and were preparing to make fur
ther improvements, thinking no doubt
that it would be their happy abode for a
goodly length of time to come. But
again are we reminded that life is most
uncertain. The entire community feels
deeply for the surviving husband, chill
dren, the aged parents, sister and broth
ers.
Funeral services occur at the Congre-
gational church on Friday next, at 4
o'clock.

Inaugural.

Our condition and progress as
a nation, our material prosperity,
our duties to ourselves and 9TH
ers, and in a general way our
national policy for the next four
years, were clearly though brief
ly indicated in President Rooese-
velt's inaugural address. He is
no longer an accident. but the
choice of the people for his high
Office, and we believe the peo-
pies rights will be respected,
lawless combinations of capital
overthrown and punished, many
of the dangers that now confront
US will be dispelled, lines of pro-
gress in the wrong direction will
be arrested, others in the right
direction will be fostered and en-
Outraged, and at the close of Mr..
Roosevelt's administration the re-
public will rest more securely
than ever before uponits original
| foundations.

His Oath Of once.

Even if our readers have seen
full accounts in the daily papers
Of the inaugural ceremonies at
Washington on the 4th inst, the
following, from the FL Paso Her
aid will be read with renewed
interest: Theodore Roosevelt
was to-day transformed into
president by choice; from presi-
dent through the assassin's bull
let into president through the
ballots Of the people.
Under the shadow of the gray
domed capitol, gazing into the
placid marble features of Green
ough's statue of the first presi-
dent, the 18th president of the
United States swore faithfully
to execute the laws and to pre-
serve, protect, and defend the
constitution.
Once before he had taken this
solemn obligation, then at the
death-bed of his martyred pred
ecessor, surrounded by a small
company of tear dimm e d
friends and counsellors; today,
in the presence of a cheering
host of $4,000 people. Then he
had ridden many lonely miles
over storm swept mountain
roads to reach the tragic scene
of his elevation; today he was
escorted along the nations gran
dest avenue from the white house
to the home of congress between
two denselY packed lines of his
countrymen gathered from every
quarter to cheer him and wish
him Godspeed in the coming four
years. Then he had said, with
choking voice, 1T shall be my
aim to continue absolutely I'M
broken the policies of president
Mckinley for the peace. prosper
ity, and honor Of our beloved
country. Today he left it for
his fellow citizens, who had
honored him with a greater ma
jority than ever before given, to
Judge whether or not he had
redeemed that pledge.

A Tribute Of Respect.

The San Francisco Call, of
Thursday morning says:
Although Mrs. Stanford had
long ago disposed of her stock
in the Central Pacific and South
ern Railroad companies, the fact
that her husband had been one
of the founders of the great
western railroad system, and
that she had, for a time, been
interested in the welfare of the
corporation, was promptly recog-
nized yesterday by the head of
those big holdings.
Immediately after the cable
announced that Mrs. Stanford had
passed away in Honolulu, Presi-
dent Hartman, Of the Southern
Pacific company, issued through
his general Office in Chicago an
order that the flags on all the
stats of the company over the
entire railroad system, from Port
land to New Orleans and from
San Francisco to Ogden, be low
cred in respect to the memory Of
the dead woman. On nearly all
the large buildings Of this city
the flags were at half-mast,
showing that California keenly
felt the loss of the generous
hearted widow of one of the pio-
neers of the industries Of the
Golden West"

An Immense Army.

When George B. Cortelyou
takes charge of the Postofice
Department on March A, he will
assume the command over as
large an army almost as that of
Kuropatkin. There are 320,520
employees in the United States
postal service, a much larger
number than the employees of the
War Department including the
entire United States army. In
fact, it is the largest force under
one department anywhere in the
world. Germany has 241, 1867
postal employees, Great Britain
1873, 595 and France, which stands
fourth; S1,559. The postal en-
ployes of the United States draw
in salaries and fees $4,000, 900
annually, showing that the mail
business is quite a big industry.

Our Family Expenses.

On the last day the Senate was
in session Senator Allison made
his estimate of the amount of
appropriations during the ses-
sion. According to that estimate
1913, 600, 900 was appropriated as
against $77l, 100000 last year. -
He estimated the revenues for
the next year at $726, 100000.
But as a large amount of the
appropriation will not be expend-
ed during the year, it is believed
the fiscal year will close without
a deficiency.

For two years the conviction
has been growing upon DR.. Men

Acting on this theory. he has

At the close of the fifty-eighth
congress Of the United States.
Speaker Cannon, and ]. Sharp
Williams, the minority leader in
the house, were each presented
with a loving cup; not because of
anything particularly loveable in
either of the honorable gentle
men, nor was it because of any
especial love they have for each
other, but rather a convicting
testimony to the fact that in
their respective positions in the
5Sth congress each has 'larruped
the other to the best of his ability.

CONCESSION WILL BE GIVEN.
Thought Mexican Government VIII As-
 sist Hartman in Coast Road.

The arrival in Mexico of Presi dent Epes Randolph, of the Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific railroad, the man who is said to be the confidential agent of E. H. Hartman, owner of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific systems of the United States, in all matters pertaining to the extension of those systems in Mexico, is said to be, in railroad circles, the sign of the near approach of definite action upon the part Of the government in the matter of granting the Southern Pacific's concession for coast road from Guaymas, via Ma zatlan, across the Sierras to Gua- dalajara.
 1t is upon this business that J. A. Naugle, general manager of the Sonora railway, another Hartman system, has been here for some time, and it is claimed that he has gotten things to such point, that Mir. Randolph is here to sign up the papers, and act as Mr. Harri- mans agent in closing up all the details of the work.
 Both gentlemen have been very discreet concerning the business since their arrival here, and from neither has it been possible to se- cure any sort of a statement as to the progress of the business. But from other sources it is learned hat matters are rapidly drawing to close, and that the Hartman interests may secure all that they have asked for in the way of gov ernment support.-Me Mexico Record.

Divorce Case Settled.

Mrs. Rita Castro has decided to give Mateo Castro another chance to prove to her that he is not all bad and that he is worthy of her great love and good cooking. Last April Mrs. Castro, through Attor- nev $ F. Noon. filed suit for divorce against Mateo, charging cruelty and non-support. During the three months that have elapsed since the filing of the suit, Mateo has evidently not been sulking, but instead has been racking his brain for palabras dulces and using them to advantage. Finally he told of his great love for their two- year-old boy and the wife and mothers heart melted The cur tain dropped for brief period and in the next act the attorney was notified that his services were no longer required, as Mateo's sec ond courting had resulted in the case being settled out of court.

NO CLUE TO DYNAMiTER OF FOREMAN
 pRouT'S TENT.
investigation into Affairs of Suspected Man Leads to His Conviction on Another Charge Seriverer Turned Loose Again.

Sheriff Fowler returned Monday from Mowry camp, where he spent several days Investigating the at tempted murder of Foreman Prout Of the Mowry mine. No clue as to identity of the person who dyna- mited the tent could be found, though incidents transpiring pre- vious to the commission of the crime caused the officers to suspect Santiago Ruiz.
 Reports at the camp are to the effect that Prout and Ruiz looked with amorous eyes upon the same girl. It is said that Ruiz had req son to believe Prout had something the best of the rivalry and was accordingly jealous.
 Close investigation, however, dis closed nothing that could be re- garded as evidence connecting either Ruiz or anyone else with the attempt to blow Prout to Heaven. But the search for clues did reveal the fact that Ruiz had fractured the laws governing CO., habitation. He was tried before Justice of the Peace Childers at Washington Camp and is now in the county jail serving ninety day sentence.
 As to MT. Prout, he whose home was damaged by the dynamite, news has reached Nogales that the mining company has severed its connection with that gentleman.

No Duty on La Frsnessa Goods.

Mir. B. Schwob of La Francesa, Nogales. Sonora, has circulated hangers at Magdalena, Santa Ana, Carbo and other points on the So- nora railway. and on all the incom- ing trains, announcing the abolitlon ofthe free zone and the great saving in duties upon all goods that were in the zone on the date of aboli- tion. Mir. Schwob's enormous stock of goods, worth more than $1O0,OO0, was in that way open to importa- ton into the interior with only the free zone duties-that is, the duties that formerly would have been col lected were those goods sent beyond the free zone, are not now levied and there is handsome sum of money involved. The benefit of all that he offers to the public, and he quotes prices that are surely convincing.

DOCTOR CHENoWETH FINDS THEM
 PROFITABLE TO HIM.
Employs One to Secure Title to Prop erty. Engages Second to Contest Claim of First and Will Use Third to Fight Bill of Second, Etc.
Doctor w. F. Chenoweth. for

Doctor w. F. Chenoweth. for merly of Nogales, but now of various places in Mexico and few places in the United States. was in Nogales Monday. While here Dr. Chenoweth was served with papers lin suit filed in the district court by Attorney George K. French. A glance at the complaint filed in the suit and another glance at the complaint filed in previous suit out of which the present suit grew, and still another glance at still another preceding suit out of which grew the suit out of which the present suit grew, and so on and so on. show the manner in which law and lawyers may be used to accomplish the purposes of really smooth hombre.
 In the complaint filed Monday Mr. French claims $500 for legal services rendered Doctor Cheno- weth. He alleges that his services to the defendant were reasonably worth $500 and the defendant paid him only S100. Mr. French de- tended Dr. Chenoweth in a suit tried in the district court in this county last April, in which the latter was sued by Attorney Fred erick s. Nave of Tucson for $25,O00 ] for legal services. Mr. Nave had previously represented Dr. Cheno- weth in suit involving rich min- 1 ing property and claimed S25,O00 1 as a reasonable fee for his services. He had been paid only STl1.42, 1 In the suit tried here in April Mr. French, contesting the claim oi Mr. Nave in behalf of Doctor Chenoweth, succeeded in getting a disagreement of the jury.
 This it will be seen that Attor- ney Nave was employed to contest l the claims of other parties to prop erty claimed by Dr. Chenoweth
 Next Attorney French was em. ployed to contest Attorney Nave's claim for $25,00O for legal services Mir. French in turn finds it neces- sary to sue for his fee and his claim will be fought in court. It is reported that Attorney Eugene Ives of Tucson has been employed Sto contest Mir. French's claim. Il remains to be seen if some other Nogales lawyer may not later be employed to contest the claim oi Mir. Ives for legal services rendered Doctor Chenoweth in contesting the claim of Mir. French for legal services in contesting the claim oi Mir. Nave for legal services in contesting the claim of
 1 We'll, something like that, anyhow
 Which goes to show that if the supply of lawyers doesn't give out, a really smooth homhre stands a chance of cutting a $25,000 claim for legal services down to Sl0 and then compromising by paying the last law twister in Mexican coin.
