OFFICER HERE
 ON POISON CASE
DEPUTY SHERIFF MIGRATE HERE FROM L0RDSBURG, N. M. WHERE MINISTER WAS GIVEN POISON BY LOVER OF HIS WIFE, WHO IS SAID TO HAVE GIVEN HIM
 ENCOURAGEMENT IN HIS FOUL DEED

H. J. McGrath, deputy sheriff from Lordsburg. New Mexico, reached Bis bee last evening to interview a Mrs. Simpson. who resides here and knowl- edge of whose connection with an at. tempted poisoning case at Lordsburg is sought by the officers.
 The facts of the case. as told by McGrath, tell a story of the possible infidelity of woman to her preacher husband and a subsequent attempt on his life by her alleged paramour.
 Rev. D. N. Wood, hIs wife and James T. Barber are the central figures in the affair, and the testimony at the trial of Barber on the charge of at tempted poisoning, show the latter to be home-breaker of the most deter mined type. Letters that passed back and forth between the erring wife and Barber show that he was not without encouragement.
 The poisoning occurred at the home of the reverend gentleman on Monday evening, the 21st of June. Reverend Wood, who is tue pastor of the Lords burg Methodist Episcopal church, left Lordsburg on Saturday evening of the 18th to go to Hachita, where he was called to deliver a sermon on the fol lowing day. Returning to his home in Lordsburg on Monday evening. he repaired to his home and started to prepare supper in the absence of his wife.
 He noticed that everything he tried to eat tasted bitter, but attributed this fact to the condition of his stom. ach. But after gagging over several morsels which ordinarily were palata- ble to him, he lay down. Sickness overcame him and he became so ill that he sought the office of a physi- clan. He succeeded in reaching the PyIhian Castle, where two boys as sisted him to a doctors office. He was with the greatest difficulty kept alive.

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES AT Y.
 M. C. A. LARGELY ATTEND ED LAST NIGHT.

DOUGLAS, June | - Especial. J.
 There was large attendance in the assembly hall of the Y. N. c. A. last night for the purpose of honoring the memory of the soldier. dead of the country. a splendid program having been arranged by the association in lieu of a similar observation of the day by the city.
 The principal feature of the program was the oration by Attorney Albert M. Sames, and it was a masterly ad- dress. MT. Sames reviewed the stir ring events in the history of the coun- try. from the Revolution to and in cluding the Spanish-American war; dwelt eloquently on the welding of the north and south since the great strug- gle between these sections of the country in 1S61-65, and paid a splen- did tribute to the dead who wore the blue and those who wore the gray.
 W. B. Cramer presided at the exer- cises, which were opened by an invc cation by Secretary Edwin Kettle.
 The Elk's Tooth quartet, which has won fame and popularity by their s ng- ing, rendered several well appreciated selections. Miss Adele Paxton played piano solo in her usual clever man ner, and Con Harvey pleased the au- dience with patriotic recitation. Miss Bess Fox sang solo, which was very we'll received.

Officers working on the case, and suspecting Barber's connection with the poisoning, found strychnine in the iaIter's house, while nearly every edi- ble in the Wood home contained the poison in a greater or a less degree.
 Letters of a loving nature which had passed back and forth between Mrs. Wood and Barber were later found and the officers thus woye chain of circumstantial evidence about Barber that resulted in his be- ing bound over to await the action of the grand jury.
 It was at the hearing of the case that the Bisbee woman's connection with the case came out. It seems that Barber, knowing her, had written her telling her that his house was so bad iy infested with rats that he feared tEey would tear it down. He added that he could procure no poison in Lordsburg, and such being the case re- uuesIed that Mrs. Simpson purchase some here and forward it to him. This she did, believing his statements to Je genuine. F.
 Last night at the Muirhead Castle Rock lodging house, Officer McGrath found Mrs. Simpson, who admitted pur- chasing the strychnine and sending it to Barber, also showing him Barber's letter containing the request. She stated that she made the purchase at the Rinehart pharmacy in this city.
 Mrs. Simpson is nurse, and upon coming to Bisbee was for time en- ployed in that capacity at the home of W. H. Brophy, manager of the Cop per Queen store. She has borne all excellent reputation here. and McGrath stated that those in Lordsburg who are conversart with the facts in the case consider that Mrs. Simpson was an in nocent part yro the attempt to poison the Rev. Wood.
 Mir. Wood has recovered and will push the case against his would-be murderer.

BOB TAYLOR IN THE SENATE.

1t is predicted that when the Hon. orable Bob Taylor, erstwhile goyer. nor of Tennessee, but primarily ia. nous for the fiddle and the bow, and for the bazoo, gets into the Senate of the United States, that illustrious body will have cause to felicitate it. self, and even the Honorable Jeff Da. wis, of Arkansas, will be lulled into rhapsodic silence, Tiilman will be moved to break the brittle tines of his fork and throw it away, Doctor Nun. yon will forego his yoluminous out. pourings into the Congressional Rec ord and keep his seat, the assemblage will give itself up to peace and poetry, and all the world will hang spellbound upon the music of him who can, as no other orator can, play upon the harp of thousand strings, the spirits of just men made perfect" s
 The Senate has already been ad. vised to suspend voluntarily the rule against listening to new members and encourage the Tennesseean to take the floor whenever he will, and. if mere eloquence fails, induce him to tell some of the inimitable proverbiaI fun ny stories which go by the name of Bob Taylor's Stories" and which are the pride of all the south.
 Congress has heard some good ones from Private John Allen and John Sharp Williams, but it will never have heard the real thing until Bob Taylor on the floor of the Senate relates the adventure Of Nah Aunt Silemma's Rat Dog," the tale of the old negro who was saved by miracle" and the story of the other old negro whose squirrel dog parked at chipmunk in a bush and was accused of ''tryin' to tree louse up rye-straw.'
 And, finally, when all the possibil ities of delightful eloquence and ex quisite humor have been exhausted we advise the Senators to persuade the great Tennesseean to rosin up the

POOR Lo, THE PCUTOCRAT.

If, in the course of ages, some race should arise to push the Caucasian from the territory to which he has helped himself in the westward course of empire, he will be fortunate if his treatment averages as well as that of the Indians of the United States, says the Globe Democrat.
 It is estimated that the number of Indians in this country is about as large as it was wbsu the new world was discovered. By right of possession the redmen were the owners of the continent, but history falls short of furnishing an abstract of their title. In all probability they had pushed some weaker race fvom the soil. The earlier victims themselves may have originally applied the same process, and so on ad infinitum. But civiliza- ton cannot get moral quittance by ealeading savage precedents, nor are
 people of the United States re.

THE SENATE, STATEHOOD AND LEGISLATION.

The American people had their hearts set on two matters of legisla- ton during this congress-staUehood for at least Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory, and rate legislation. The house very promptly passed both measures. Whether or not the bills passsd by the house were we'll considered and adequate is immaterial. The senate was hostile, evidently, to both meas ures and has not shown a disposition to accept anything that the house would favor. We are inclined to think that certain amendments offered in the senate to the statehood bill should have been accepted, but we think the fault of their non-acceptance lies as much at the instance of Senator Bev- eridge and others as at Uncle Joe Can mons.
 Senator Beveridge was known to be for the Hamilton bill, and notwith- standing his attitude in opposition to the wishes and opinions of the major ity of the senate, he was placed on the senate conference committee. It was hardly to be expected that he would urge the senate amendments and he is now reported as saying that there are little hopes of an agreement on statehood at this session. The truth of the matter is that Beveridge should never have had charge of the state hood bill at this session, much less to have been appointed on the confer ence committee on part of the senate.
 Senator Beveridge has shown his inability to handle these matters for several sessions. He Is arrogant, bigoted, self-opinionated and almost without influence in the senate. He has the manner and bearing of big. spoiled, arrogant boy. He is not in touch or sympathy with the people of the territories, nor with his fellow senators or members of the house. What can be expected of such leader ship? Nothingi He has continuously played into the hands of Cannon on this question. He and Cannon think, or seem to think, they are playing politics. The truth of the matter is that both of them are entirely too small to fill the hole they have crawled into.
 What matters it to these gentlemen whether a million people have self government or not? Whether 1T Lot these same people have public L;sh- ways and bridges? Whether their children have school privileges or grow up in ignorance? AS long as they can ignore public opinion, stand !n the lime-light and have .oterie If followers, they are content The sen- ate should insist upon Beveridge act ing on the committee in harmony -,ith its wishes, or getting off the commit tee. Beveridge probably wants s'are- hood, but he wants it his way, which is also Cannon's way. The people want it, if not Beveridge's way, irLn Foraker's way, CT most any i'd way so they get it.-Kansas Farmer.

INCREASE WATERSUPPLY
NEW PUMPING MACHINERY AR RlVES, AND ADDITIONAL
 MAINS BEING LAID.

DOUGLAS, June 1. - Especial. .l--
 By the middle of next week we will be able to supply all the water re- quired for Douglas"
 These were the words of Superin- tendent Cowan, of the Douglas Im- provement Company, spoken today in answer to a question as to how he was progressing in the effort to in crease the water supply for this city. He stated that duplicate of the pres ent pumping plant was received to- day, and that it would be installed at the end of Fifteenth street just as fast as the work could be done.
 A new four-inch main is being laid north and south on D avenue, and it is expected that this main will be ready to receive water by the time the ad!tional pumping plant is ready to pump it from the wells.
 Superintendent COwan declares that in the company wells east of the city there is an abundance of water to meet all demands of the city. Had not there been unavoidable delay in receiving the pumping machinery or dered months ago the increase in the water promised for next week would have been available two months ago.
