teen lives are known 10 have been lost.
The ella valley bank WAS seriously
damaged and many stores on the east
side of the river We're wrecked, The
Casino bowling alleys aud club are
ruined, People are camped on the

Tucson. Ariz.. Dec 1.-THE food yes
terday In the region OF Clifton was one
of the worst In the history OF eastern
Arizona. A large number Of people
are reported drowned, but ON account
of the destruction Of all telegraph and
telephone lines no accurate estimate of
the loss Of life can be given. The
property damage Is very large. The
ella river bridge went out, cutting off
all communication with the Clifton Sec
ton by that route. All wires are down
ON the main lines. with the exception
of the by-way of Lordsburg, wlHch Is
working intermttently. Efforts are
being made to learn the extent Of the
disaster, but owing to the isolated Sec
ton in which the floods occurred, the
work Is difficult.

Queer Just,ee

A man in Philadelphia, on Monday last,
attempted 10 murder his wife on the street.
A cowboy named John Gleason came in
sight, and seeing the woman's danger,
drew his pistol and fired in the air to
divert the murderous mans attention
from his vile purpose. The ruse sue
ceoded, but it endangered the cowboy s
life, for against him the murderous hus-
bands wrath was turned. Then the
cowboy shot again. and put the bullet
through the would-be murderers shoul-
der
The wounded husband was sent to the
hospital and the cowboy rescuer, who un-
doubtedly prevented a murder, was ar
rested. The facts were proved at his ar
raignment, but he had shot man, and
even though the act had been done to
prevent murder, he was held in 81 900
bail for a hearing, and in default was
committed to prison.
Il is hoped that this cowboy who pre-
vented a murder will not be hanged as
the finale Of this queer manifestation Of
Philadelphia justice.

BRYAN and Cleveland.

The broadening and conservative effect
Of Mr. William }. Bryans world tour are
manifest in the issues Of his weekly paper
The Commoner. Its utterances show a
radical difference from those Of the Bryan
OF 1896 and 1900.
Particularly was this change mani
tested in last weeks issue Of the paper,
in which was printed an editorial in rela-
tion to the panic of 1893, for which the
administration Of President Cleveland
was so bitterly and uniustly assailed
The editorial calls attention to the fact
that indications Of this panic were noted
in November, 1890, within month after
the Mckinley Tariff bill became a law.
In consequence Of the plain indications of
this coming panic, The Commoner says,
the administration of President Harrison
had plates prepared for a bond issuy, but
deferred further action, and left this
necessary step for the maintenance Of the
gold reserve in the treasury to be taken by
the Cleveland administration.
The Commoner further points out that
when the Cleveland administration "sur-
rendered the reins Of government, March
4th, 1889 "there was in the Federal
treasury the largest surplus in history
When the Republican party went out of
power, March 4th, 1898, there was large
deficit, and the incoming administration
was finally persuaded 10 make the bond
issues which its Republican predecessor
had at one time thought to be necessary,
but had skilfully avoided"
Mr.. Bryan, it will be recalled, when he
was the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, in 1896 and 1900, was unsparing in
his denunciation Of the Cleveland adj
ministration for what he termed its "sur-
render to the moneyed interests" And
the bond issues Of the second Cleveland
administration we're severely denounced
by many Democratic newspapers that
we're not in sympathy with Bryan. Now
comes Mr. Bryan's paper and gives credit
TO the Cleveland administration for this
act. OF a truth, Mr.. Bryan seems to be
improving radically.

CURRENT LITERATURE.

"The Hesitation Of Gisella." by Edith
Macvane, is the title Of the novelette,
which opens the June number of The
Smart Set. 1t is a charming story the
scenes OF which are laid in France: the
period, however, is modern and the story
is of an appealing character which will
win for it many admirers Mary Austin
so well known for her stories Of the shen-
herds on the western plains, contributes
TO this number one Of her best tales
entitled CAT Tio Juan" II is a tragedy
in miniature worked out with remarkable
skill Arthur Stanley Wheeler is again
contributor; "The Violin is a ghost
story, thoroughly fascinating. Amos
De Lsny is a new writer, but his con.
tribution, "The Strength Of His Arms
will cause his name TO be remembered.
Robert McDonald's "The Reformation
Of Billy Henderson," is a delightfully."-
humorous tale, and "The Making Of a
Man" by Edna Kenton, will please
a host Of readers. Arthur Stringer is al
his best in "Three Women and Love-
and there are other stories by Mabel
Herbert Urner, f. ]. Rath, Leila Bur
ton Wells, Charles Battell Loomis and
Anna Warner, besides a story in the
original French Bliss Carman is the
author OF the essay, The Golden Age"
and in it his exquisite prose style is re-
vealed at its best. The poetry is un-
usually attractive. Reginald Wright
Kaufman, Ruby Archer, Charlotte
Becker, Theodosia Garrison, Clinton
Scollard and Madeline Bridges are among
the versifers whose work appears.
"The Rebirth of the Corporation" bv
Judge Peter S. Grosscup in the Ameri-
can Magazine for June is a splendid ex-
ample of constructive criticism in the
treatment of current questions. In
stead OF exploiting evils, il sets forth
q radical but sane remedy for the truth
problem. Another important quest on
franchises treated with cutting satire
by John McAuley Palmer in "The
Parable of the Pickpocket" A de-
parture in magazine literature is the
publication in this number Of Charles
klein's successful drama. "The Lion and
the Mouse" told in story form by Owen
johnson. Arthur Goodrich describes
the picturesque career Of Horace Fletcher
and throws some new light on Fletcher
ism" Another of Arthur Trains in
teresting criminal narratives is 'The
Last Of the Wire-tappers, the story Of
an amazing swindle. The pictorial fea-
ture of this number is a series Of re-
markable photographs by William L.
Finley illustrating Home Life in Gull
Colony" The camera has been thrust
into the very nests Of the birds. With
the second instalment of the Mystery.
the new serial by Stewart Edward White
and Samuel Hopkins Adams, the action

Who Chnndlar Ia.

William F. Chandler who is now largely
in the public eye by reason of having been
accused Of falsehood by President Roose-
welt, is very well known in the history of
this country.
Thirty years ago next fall, William r.
Chandler, then United States Senator
from New Hampshire, was in New York
City on the night of the Presidential
election. 1t was generally conceded
throughout the country that Samuel j.
Tilden, the Democratic candidate for
President, had defeated Rutherford B.
Hayes, the Republican candidate. A
newspaper man of New York City ran
his eye over the table Of electoral votes,
and found that the votes of South Caro-
lima, Florida and Louisiana, conceded to
Tilden, would, If carried over 10 the Hayes
column, give the latter 1855 electoral votes
10 1874 for his opponent. The newspaper
man told Chandler, who was at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, the Republican National
Committees headquarters. And Chan
dir Immediately set the telegraph wires
to working with the suggestions and de-
tails of that infamous conspiracy which
resulted in the theft Of the Presidency of
the United States.
Now President Roosevelt says that
Chandler has lied. But it is not improb-
able that man who helped to steal the
Presidency may tell the truth occasionally.

Miss Mary H. Gartside Proved a Successful
Case.

Case.
Confined at St. Luke's Hospital. Den
yer, having recently undergone an opera
tion on one of her fingers, which had
become deiormed from a break and
which was Strengthened, is Miss Mary
II. Gartside, who, according to The
Times of that city, has the distinction
of being the hrst person on record to
have the vermiiorm appendix removed
Il was because of this operation.
which was purely experimental and
which was resorted to in the last ex-
treme, that the possibility Of removing
the appendix was discovered.
Miss Gartside lives in Minneapolis.
and today, az the age Of 42, is hale and
hearty with no sign of her former trouble.
The case is written up in all the medical
books and the knowledge that Miss Cart
side is again in Denver is a matter of
interest in the medical world and she has
been the subject of much attention from
the physicians in the city,
A history of the case is found in the
Colorado Medicine The article is pre-
faced by a note that states that investi-
cations show that this case antedates
al others by more than two years When
the operation was performed, in January.
1885, there was no antecedent or contem-
porary history of such a case, and DR..
Grant, after studying the case, decided
that it would be possible to remove the
appendix. The operation was performed
at the Gsrtside home in Davenport. Ia

getting his share of the honey that
dnpped from the editorial pen, and all
was serene. Having captured everybody
with religious ties, there came a glorious
opportunity. When opportunity knocks
oftentimes the sounds are so faint

But opportunity was admitted, and this
was her message: champion the cause

trowel. There is a printers strike and
other papes are in trouble; champion
the cause Of these poor downtrodden
creatures"
