CORNER STONE OF
 SCIENCE HALL LAID
Governor vardaman Presents Silver TroweI to Grand Master Blum at
 Exercises In Columbus.

Columbus, Miss, June 11-(Special.)-To days commencement exercises at the h. dustrial institute and college were quite elaborate, and were conducted in a splen- did manner. At II o'clock the ceremony of laying the cornerstone of the new Science hall was begun. The exercises were conducted by Grand Master Charles C. Blum of the Mississippi grand lodge of Masons. The sii--er trowel was presented Mir Blum by Governor Vardaman, who spoke briefly, though feelingly, and most cordially, taking occasion to speak no small praise for the great work the In- dustrial institute and college was doing for her state
 The stone was laid, and according to custom examined and pronounced sound and solid Grand Master Blum made a most happy and appropriate address. He said on behalf of the order he represent ed he was glad to be present on this oc- casion, and like Governor Vardaman was generous in his praise of the college. The ceremonies were concluded by the singing of the doxology. The Science hall, when completed, will be one of the most useful and splendidly equipped buildings on the college campus. It will be used exclusive ly for the teaching of the sciences and every detail will be looked after minutely. The last legislature made the ample ap- proprlation of $60.000 for the building and it will be completed by the beginning of the next term.
 At the closing of the cornerstone exer- cises, Congressman Adam Byrd of Phila- delphia, Miss delivered the address to the graduating class. The graduation ex- ercises will not take place until tomorrow, but Judge Byrd had an engagement at the A. and NJ. college for that date. and was compelled to deliver his address this morn- ing for that reason. The annual concert of the Bach society was held in the college chapel tonight. The graduation exercises tomorrow morning and presentation of diplomas close the term.

Yaquis Rob Train and Murder Escort.

Five teamsters and several Mexican
soldiers killed by Yaqui Indians is the
death record of raid on a wagon
train belonging to the Cineguita Cop
per Company last week. The attack
was made at point near where Her
bert Miller and his party were killed
last year. The Copper Company lost
more than $40, 900 worth of goods.
The train consisted of eight wag-
ons and was loaded with supplies for
the camp. The freight outfit was
ambushed by large force of Indians
in a sand draw. A deadly fire was
poured in from three points which
completely overwhelmed the defend
ers. The Mexican soldiers put up
gallant fight, but the attacking force
was too large and took them by sur
prise. All the supplies that were not
carried away by the raiders were
destroyed and burned up.
The report was confirmed by Geo.
Beebe, president of the Cieneguita
Copper Company who passed through
here on his way to Los Angeles.

A Just Protest.

The Sun is highly pleased to note
that wave of protest against travel
ing fakirs is sweeping over the terri
tory. We trust it will expand until
it seizes all the people and until its
effects will be fatal to the business of
all sorts of hawkers, peddlers and
itinerant statesmen and quacks who
ply their vocationS to the detriment
of legitimate home merchants and
home enterprises.
we have advocated and shall al
ways advocate the patronizing of
home institutions, whenever and wher-
ever it is possible to do so and the
citizen who fails or refuses to do so
and the merchant who neglects to en-
courage that course by patronizing
home Industries hemself, is flying in
the face of. prosperity.
No community can be prosperous if
there is a shortage of money in it,
and no community which extensively
patronizes the mail order house or
gives ear to the hundreds of travel
ing quacks all of calling and schemes
that infest every community, can ex-
pect to have a sutficiency of money
for money so spent is swept from the
local channels of trade and never
comes back.-Yuma Sun.

Collector Baker is Discharged by Wire.

Collector of Customs Edwin Baker of
the Port of Nogales was dismissed
from office last Friday evening by a
telegrahic command from Washing
ton, d. G.
Baker forwarded his resignation as
collector to the secretary of the
treasury about two week ago, but the
resignation was not accepted and the
collector was summarily dismissed.
E. L. Griswold who has been dep
uty collector for some time past was
directed by Secretary Shaw to take
charge of the Nogales Office.
About three weeks ago a couple of
special inspectors arrived in Nogales
to investigate Collector Baker. I'M
moral charges had been made against
him. He was accused a couple of
years ago of serious offense but it
was not proved in subsequent inves-
tigation. Lately a woman COM
mitted suicide in Los Angeles and
Baker was somehow mixed up in the
scandal connected with it.

TO COLOMBO LINCOLN COUNTY.
Great Irrigation Scheme for Muddy VAL
Iey-Homes for 10000 People.

Long years ago Eldorado Canyon
and Phoebe brought Lincoln county
before the public as a great producer
of mineral wealth. During the sue
ceeding years Delamar, Searchlight,
Crescent and other districts have
maintained and added to this reputa-
ton, until today it ranks second in
Nevada. AS an agricultural county
it has been practically unknown, but
nevertheless from the time of first
Mormon immigrations it's fertile val
leys have been titled with great sue
cess.
Now comes the announcement from
F. r. McNamee, of Delamar, that he
has completed arrangements for a
big irrigation scheme which will re-
suit in placing many thousands of
acres in the Muddy valley under cul-
tivation. Homes for 10, 900 people are
to be made, the population of the
county will be more than doubled, a
colonization such as took place in the
Imperial valley will follow, and the
fertile alluvial soil will be made to
increase a hundred fold the resources
of the county.
Seven miles below Moapa, at what
is termed the Narrows, there is a
natural reservoir in the shape of a
deep canyon. All that will be neces-
sary will be dam across the mouth,
and the natural conditions are such
that its storage capacity will be
measured in proportion to the height
of the dam. This dam, which will be
of concrete, will cost $35, 900 and will
require year and half to build

PATTERSON OF COLORADO.
The Breezy Western Senator Introduces
Resolution Setting Forth His
IndeDendence.

Senator Patterson of Colorado,
caused a sensation in the Senate by
introducing a resolution relative to
the rights of Senators in voting on
treaties.
Patterson's resolution recited that
the action of a Democratic caucus in
dicating to Senotors how they should
vote was plain violation of the spirit
and intent of the Constitution of
the United States; that each Senator
was entitled to one vote and any at
tempt to corece him was an invasion
of the rights of the State; that for
any Senator to vote otherwise than
as his sense of duty dictates de-
grades his high Office and assail the
dignity and stand of the Senate.
The resolution was listened to with
great interest by the Senators.
Lodge had prepared a resolution
similar to that of Patterson, declar-
ing that treaty like the Dominican
should not be made the subject of
party action, but withheld it when
he heard of Patterson's proposed re-
solution.
Tillman objected to the present
consideration of the Patterson resolu-
ton unless it was question of per-
sonal privilege. Patterson said it
was not and gave notice that he
would discuss the resolution.

Frank Bell, the confessed murderer
of Col. J. Francisco, Chavez, of New
Mexico, was recently arrested at
Prescott. The murder occurred d
little over a year ago, and was a
most cowardly and cold-blooded af-
fair. Colonel Chavez was one of the
most prominent, as well as one of the
most popular men in New Mexico.
The suppOsition at the time was that
members of @an %@ of H ontIaw Sy w IOe
he had prosecuted vigorously, but the
arrest of Bell would seem to explode
this theory. Bell has not as vet
given any reason for the crime he
committed.

Society has received hard blow
at the hands of the attorney general
of the United States. 1t is now
against the postoffice regulations to
publish in a newspaper the list of
winners of prizes at card parties. In
order to discourage the lottery bust

ment has an order in effect for some
time that prohibits newspapers 60
ing through the mails that in any
way refer to lotteries, guessing con-
tests or games of chance where luck
enters into the chance of winning.

In many mining camps of the
southwest dynamite is being used by
the Mexican miners, it is said, in a
new and altogether startling way
Many of the poems are what is known
as dynamite finds. Users of dyna-
mite soon learn that it is a powerful
stimulant, and that the effects of in
toxication are pleasing while they
last, beyond the most excruciating
phantasies of an opium dream. The
"dynamiter" usually is very dainty
and exact in his method of going
about the introduction of the high
explosive into his system. The pre-
ferred way is to do this by cutting off
a small piece of 90 per cent. ''dyna"
about the size of a pea. This is dis
solved in small glass of mescal or
tequiIle, and the draught is quaffed
with gusto that comes from pleas
ant anticipations. The performer of
this trick then rolls in his blanket
and stretches himself in the cool
shade. 1t is said that very soon his
nerves begin to Jingle and strange
dreams come to him than the weird
visions induced by hashheesh.

Wonder why the president and

Between the 400 and 500 levels of
the Gold Road mine there is said to
be a solid body of ore six feet in
width and 200 feet in length, the
average value of which is in excess
of 800 to the ton in gold. Between
the same leYels are larger ore bodies
having values from $40 to $50 to the
ton, the widest body being % feet.
On the 500 level an entirely new ore
body has been opened to the west,
which makes practically two mines.
This body lies under the hogback to
the west of the main workings and
the ore is distinct from that found in
the Gold Road and Line Road mines.

NOT LIKE MOST MEN.

Tt rs reported that in the matter OF tho recciy
4 crsiip of the Real Estate Trust Company OF
Philadelphia The court allowed George II.
Earlc, lr for his services receiver 10000,
aud that he was shocked by the courts liberal
ty Alr Earle il is said, refused TO accept any
such amount and was very reluctant TO take even
one-third OF it, There can be no doubt that Mr..
Earle rendered most valuable services to the
Trust Company almost wrecked by Nipple and
placed it on its feet TO the saving of more than
million dollars to the dcpostors creditors and
stockholders 1t seems that Mr.. Earle takes the
view that his efforts were mainly for the Trust
Company and those interested in it, and not for
himself And after ALL it seems that $4,000 is
a generous fec for less than six months services
In refusing TO accept 100000 more, Mr. Earle
rebukes tho court for its extravaganza with the
Trust Companys money Mr. Earles action
stands out in bold contrast with that OF the mod
ern receiver Who the moment he is appointed
seems to consider it his duty 70 get as much as
possible OF the assets intrustcd TO him for his
own use. In Sases. where practically no work has
been performed and even where there has been
manifest negligence and incompetence causing
enormous shrinkage OF the assets in his hands, the
receiver has demanded outrageous fees Tor his
services and too often they are allowed by the
court it is robbery OF creditors in the name
OF the law for courts TO allow enormous sums TO
receivers whose services have been OF little value
and in many eases where their msmanagcmcut
has decreased the assets entrusted TO them. Ii is
without excuse OF justification 20 allow receivers,
who are officers OF the court and who rarely de-
vote their exclusive time to the work, many times
what they could have received or earned in any
other position or capacity. The action Of Re
ceivcr Earle is not only highly creditable to that
most capable man, but it is suggestion both TO
other receivers and to judges appointing and hay
ing control over them that it is neither right nor
honest TO disregard the nature and value OF serv-
ices rendered and the interests OF creditors when
demanding and allowing recciycrship fees
