 This community was profoundly shocked Tuesday morning of last week by the news of the untimely fate of John R. Eikos, foreman painter for the D. c. Co.,, whose life less body was found at the bottom of a steep-fight of steps, down which he had evidently fallen at some time during the night before, the fall breaking his neck. John Eikos was a fine type of the intelligent, industrious mechanic. He was a master of his trade and his unfailing good nature made friends of all with whom he came in contact. On Thurs day last the remains were shipped back to Minneapolis, where the widow of the deceased resides. Mrs. Eikos is known to some of our people as she accompanied her husband to | MorenCi and remained tor some time about three years ago. She has the profound sympathy of all in her bereavement.

FROM all accounts the territorial fair held at Phoenix last week was a pronounced success, which is most gratifying to all sections of Arizona. The fair management deserves credit for its energy and ability. The pub icity department should also be given much credit, for it's work was surely well done.

IT IS passing strange that the state of Texas can make the railroads give the people reasonable freights while the general government is in- competent to handle the question. What this country needs is fewer bullionaires and more honesty in the IT. S. senate.

SECOND TERM.
The William H. West Big Jubilee
 MinStreIS.

It has long been pretty generally conceded that Messrs. McDevitt and Kelly, who are at the head and front of the skilful dancing forces attach ed to the William H. West Big Jubi- lee Minstrels, are by all odds the greatest tersichorean artists on any stage. The fantistic and agil foot eX- ercises indulged in by these gentle men have ever arrested the attention of expert judges, and it has always been a source of wonderment how the nimble and dexterious step move ments are so adroitly executed in perfect harmony to the most difficult music. Manager Ricaby is proud of this dancing acquisition as will be seen from the announcements regard ing the engagement next Wednesday January 10 at the Academy Opera House.

 Upon the same day as the consti- tutional election there shall be held an election for state officers. state legislature, members of congress and county officers.
 The regular November election would come about three months after adjournment of the constitu- tional convention; so it would seem likely that the constitutional election will be called by the con- vention to be held at that time.

FUDGE DoAN ExoNERaTED.

Tuesday Captain George B. Will cox Of Tombstone returned from Washington, where he had been in the interest of Judge Doan; and to reporter of the Bisbee Miner the gentleman stated that all the char ges against Judge Doan had proved groundless, that his reappointment had been decided upon and will be made very shortly
 When copy of the charges against Judge Doan was sent to Arizona they quickly fell to the ground. The very witnesses cited indignantly denied that they had authorized anyone to cite them as witnesses and asserted that there was no truth in the allegations. Those facts where quickly set forth in at1idavits sent to Washington, and settled the matter.

THAT'S WHAT KILLED IT.

Society has received a hard blow at the hands of the attorney gen. eral of the United States. It is now against the postoliice regula- tions to publish in a newspaper the list of winners of prizes at card parties. In order to discourage the lottery business as much as possible the government has an order in effect for some time that prohibits newspapers going through the mails that in any way refer to lotteries, guessing contests or games

THE COURSE THAT WILL FOLLOW.

Should the Hamilton bill enab- ling Arizona and New Mexico to become one state, adopted by the House last week. pass the Senate and receive executive sanction, which seems very likely, the course of procedure laid down in the bill shall be as follows:
 First: The governors, chief jus tices and secretaries of the two ter ritories, respectively, shall appor- ton, equitably, as near as may be, according to population among the several counties, the delegates to the constitutional convention to be elected from each territory. The bill fixes the delegates in the con- vention from Arizona at forty-four and from New Mexico at sixty-six.
 So fourty-four delegates will be apportioned among the thirteen counties of Arizona, and sixty-six among the twenty-three counties of New Mexico.
 Second: The governors of the Territories shall, respectively. within thirty days after approval of the act by the president, by pro- clamation, in which such appor- tionment shall be fully specified and announced, order an election of the delegates aforesaid in their respective territories, to be held on the tenth Tuesday after approval of the act.
 Third. The delegates elected to the convention shall meet in the hall of the house of representatives at Santa Re the fifth Monday after their election, and frame a cons titution; but they shall not receive compensation for more than sixty days.
 Fourth: The convention shall provide by ordinance for submit ting the constitution framed there III 10 lhe eople of the proposed f4te ior ratification or rejection At al election to be held not less han six ' days nor more than six months after adjournment of the convention.
 Now then assuming that the bill passes the Senate and receives executive approval March 1st: Election of delegates to the consti tutienal convention (the tenth Tuesday thereafter) will be held on the seventh day of May; the fifth Monday after their election the delegates elected will assemble in convention at Santa Fe, which will be June 10th;

1t Has Been Hotter.

It has been hot, very hoA In fact,
but, says the State, Section Director
Bauer in charge OF the weather
bureau in Columbia says that the
thermometer hiss been higher in June
and In fact the temperature has not
been unusual. WHAT has made the
people long for the breez S OF the fans
is the moisture in the atmosphere.
Nearly every day the Il tt e
shower would add to the humidity
and for this reason the heat has bss1
felt more. This Is the usUal time
for q little hot spell, the highest
registered this year being 95 degrees
early in June and again on June
"a. Lsst year June rs saw the
ercury shoot up to 81 and
yet the people this year will assert
that it is the hottest ever" A
break in the wave is expected shortly,
however, il precsdents are followed
and In fact the nights now are begin
ming to be little more bearable.

Whiskey In Ka&saS.

As every body knows Kansas is
one Of the three so-called prohibition
States, but it will be seen from what
a Kansas paper says below there is no
trouble to get whiskey out there. A
man by the name of G. S. Jewel, OF
New Castle, Pa, wrote to the Appeal
to Reason, a weekly paper OF large cir
culation published at Gira6, Kansas,
the following letter:
s'Prohibitionists here say that out in
Kansas they have no use for jailS since
prohibition has been adopted. Is that
so?
The Appeal to Reason replied as
follows:
This will be news to Kansans. II
prohibition rules "a Kansas 1t has not
been discovered. In this little town
we have five open saloons and there
a-e some fifty or sixty saloons In the
county. Our jails are just as full as
in Pennsylvania. Just as long ss profit
can be made selling liquor it will be
sol according to law OF in violation
OF law. In Kansas prohibition does not
prohibit. Our saloons are really a
greater menace than licensed saloous.
When it is known that about three
thousand people in Kansas hold Unit
ed States Internal Revenue licences
to retail whiskey and ooher liquors
the statement of the Kansas paper
can easily be believed.

what q Waste Of Ncney.

The annual military expenditures OF
the several great powers of the world
are enormous. A recent issue OF the
British Bluebo k says the United
Kingdom spends for this purpose each
year sl57 900, 900; India, 500, ,@o, ,ooo'

include the amount paid in PENSIONS
by any of the governments named: The
United States. in ad q ticn to the l Is
OO0, 900 named above, pays each year,
$40 900 900 in pensions to her o.d
soldier. Including what she spends
for pensions, the United States spends
more than any other government for
military purposes. Our military bur
den is the heaviest born by any nation
In the world. When we contemplate
the vast sum which the so-called
Christian natioas Of the earth spend,
in: training soldiers, building ships,
guns and other engines to destroy men
we are almost forced to the conclu-
sion that our profession Of being fol-
lowers of the meek and lowly man
who had not where to lay his head
while on earth is false. II ne were
His followers in fact we would have
no use for these things and the money
spent for them could be used for
other and nobler purposes. This vast
sum Of money properly used would
Danish poverty from the ealth and
would bring Joy and happiness 70 the
world instead Of death and destruction
as it now does.
