STATE IssuEs

The speaker then took mp the state
issues. and said as a general principal
any party intru-ted with power Tor
forty years would become Inefficient and
corrupt. and upon the question OF ineiticl-
ency he repeated the statement made m
a former address upon the authority oi
Lieut.. Gov. Willard that the Auditor
had not been able To state within So
900 of the amount of Sheppard > de.alca-
ton i'm the Auditors office. He had, he
said, looked up the record Of Sheppard :
indictment and found that Sheppard had
been sent to the penitentiary for stealing
$50.
Judge Lewis said he had been charged
with inaccuracy because he had stated
that only one-half OF the children OF
school aye were enrolled, and only one
third were actually in attendance at the
schools and that schools had not been
kept open more than "a months year.
He quoted authority of people actively
interested in educational work To
show what he said was correct. Tie
called attention to the fact that the
school authorities OF Virginia had not
made AZ good terms as to prices OF books
rs those OF other States and lett the au-
dence TO draw its own conclusions rs To
the reason for this. He said in cases
where books sold in North Carolina Tor
% cents bring 80 cents in Virginia, and
declared there are other cases OF SINH
lar kind involving in the aggregate a
vast sum OF money To the parents Of the
children. which might have been saved
them had the school authorities III Viz
ginia been more efficient.
80 NEGRO PARTY NOw.
Judge Lewis secuted the idea of the
Democrats carrying the State by $4,000
minority as they claimed, and charged
that such statement could only bc
made when based on an intention 10
steal the election. He said that the Dem
ocrats know that they can not win by
any such majority and he warned them
that the Republican party is now com
posed of Anglo-SaxOns, and will not al
low themselves to be quietly run over az
if they were lot OF poor, Ignorant Airl-
cans.
He spoke of graft and cited charges
made by Senator Martin, duvernor Mon
tague and Others during the recent Dem
ocratic primary campaign.
He declared the Republican policy az
being in favor OF good roads, and said
that Governor Montague had spoken in
favor Of them for many years without
accomplishing anything. He made a
strong appeal to Virginians, charging
that the incoDspicuous place now Occu.
pied by Virginiain national affairs is not
worthy OF the history or the people OF
Virginia.
He said that is due to Virginia having
bound herself to the obstructive policies
of the Democratic party. Many people
have remained fixed in their Democratic
allegiance in the past because OF the sup
posed danger OF negro domination. He
declared now that this had all passed
away. He appealed to those who had
been Democrats in the past to support
the party which will permit Virginia to

after careful examination. Concluded
that Picuris was n Of the Oldest

This, he thinks, Is evident by the fact
that there are five Or six large estu-

OF preservation. Mr.. Crandall also

DEATH OF PUT.

News from the Picuris Pueblo, says

both men and women, and INDUCED In
loud lamentations. waIling and tears.
which were kept up all night. They
felt that the death OF Vargas was a
great blow to them, as he had been
one Of their leading advisors, the his
torian Of the Pueblo and a sort Of 4
medicine man and soothsayer.
About three years ago, a brother Of
Vargas met a similar death In the
village Of Penasco about three miles
distance from Picuris.
The shot which killed Antonio Ma.
ria Vargas was fred by Antonio Mar
tinez. a young man Of good habits,
who was educated at Carlisle. Pennsyl-
yana, speaks good English and has
worked as a sheep herder for years
in that vicinity, as well as in Colo
RADIO and Wyoming.
As far as known. the shooting was
purely accidental. II Is the custom OF
the several Indian Puebl0s, on peace
feast days for the men and boys to
indulge in the sooting Of fire arms.
This custom evidently was adopted
from the Spaniards and Mexicans who
practiced shooting and making a good
deal Of noise on ceremonial and feast
There was no whiskey In
the Pueblo and there was no drunk

sad end.

DEATH FOLLOWS SHOOT
 ING OF McHENRY
(From Saturdays Daily.)

At about 10 o'eloek last night word was received in Prescott by way of Mohawk Summit, on the Santa Fe system, that Philip McHenry, who had shot himself at Quartzite, either by ac- cident or Intentionally, died from his injuries at 5.35 clock last evening. By some strange lack of understanding on the part of those sending the news to Prescott, nothing whatever has as yet been learned as to the details of the shooting. The message announcing the death of McHenry furnished no facts as to the manner in which he in- jured himself, and although the news of his death is now known here no data is as yet available with reference to the shooting.
 From interested parties who received wor'l or his death it was at late hour last night learned that further than the report of the shooting, and the sec ond message announcing his death, mo- thing whatever can be given as au- thentic with regard to the tragedy. Whether McIenry committed suicide or shot himself by accident is a matter of conjecture, and until full details are received from the Quartzite district, nothing more will be known.
 In a talk with local friend of the deceased last night it was learned that while MeHenry and his mother had of late years been residents of New

.OLD FRIENDS GIVE HIM AN |CY
 STARE Governor Wo1f1ey Not Recognized In
 New Hat Prescottite Back From The Burning
 East

They all passed him by without even exchanging glance of recognition.
 Ex-Governor Wolfey was puzzled as he occupied a comfortable position on the leather cushions in the Hotel Burke.
 Old friends of lifetime walked by, and after a cursory glance did not deign to speak. The former governor of Arizona was now plainly nervous. He could not understand the stony stares which he received from even his warm acquaintances.
 "Hello, there,' finally ejaculated Mir. Wolfey to an old friend who was passing.
 The gentleman aceosted stopped and looked sharply at the portly man who greeted him and held out his hand.
 After a few minutes pause, his face lit up with a smile of recognition as he exclaimed "Why, it's you, gov ernor! Say, what's the matter with you3 Is it because you look paler9'
 "No, it's not that" said the gov ernor, "for I've been in some pretty hot weather since left Prescott.
 "Ohl I see," beamed the old friend with a sudden burst of intelligence "It's the hat"
 And so it was. For years the head covering of the governor has been a soft light grey hat of the shape most affected by mining men. But MT Wolfey has been east, ana Se returns with a Dunlap surmOunting his crown. It is a black Derby, and in color and shape it is so different from the head gear that he has heretofore worn, that it makes the governor look like a different individual.
 Governor Wolhey left Prescott on May 10, and since that time has visit ed Boston, Washington, Chicago and New York. In each place he found the heat almost unbearable. New York and Washington he elassifies as being the hottest cities which he visit ed.
 "Why didn't you come home7" the governor was asked.
 "Because I was too languid to move" was the explanatory reply.
 Governor Wolfey went east on busi- ness connected with the Climax Gold Mining Company, and states hat his trip was very satisfactory. Upon his return he found that development work at the mine had progressed very nice ly during his absence, and that there was already enough ore on the dump to pay for all the expenses that have been incurred.
