gray appear in the east they leave their village, headed by the prophet who has proclaimed the coming of the Messiah They march along in an aim less sort of way, headed for nowhere in particular. and as they march they chant some doleful song. Their cloth ing they cast away. because they think it has been made by the assistance of animal labor. and they consider all beasts of burden unclean and cursed by God. Of late a few of them have be- gun to use horses. but the more fanat- teal of them still hitch their wives and daughters to the blows and wagons. Several times these pilgrimages have numbered nearly 1000 men, women and children, who march along without a stitch Of clothing to cover their bodies. Some of the weaker women and young children are placed in wagons, which are drawn by the women, while the men attend to the chanting. At such times they refuse all kinds of food ex- cept that which they can gather by the wayside When these pilgrimages are started in the winter, the plight of the wandering Doukhobors soon becomes pitiable from want of clothing and food several of them having died on the first trek they made in this country.

RACE FOR SHERIFF
 ADAMS WiIHDRAWS
Other Candidates Mentioned for
 County Offices.

Fine situation cleared little yester- day in respect of the democratic con- test for the nomination fer sheriff. when Jeff Adams of Mcdowell came to town and announced that he was out of the race. He said he did not be- lieye the game was worth the candle and he would pass if tap fer this year at least
 This leaves only Walker and Hayden in the field, and each is naturally hop ing that Afr. Adams strength is com ing his way. Hayden thinks he has. it grabbed, anyway, but he is not turning away any friends who want to help him. Mr. Walker is saying less. and it is not impossible that he is saving wood
 little more is being heard lately about candidates for some of the other offices, and it is not likely there will be any shortage of material for nOmina- t:ons on either side. Among the demo- cratic legislative possibilities are Lysahder Cassidy. Charles Peterson. F.. c. Bunch and W. <. Mouer, for the lower house. and J. ". Crenshaw and Eugene Brady O'Neill for the council. Judge Langston has not fully decided whether he would rather make laws or enforce them as probate judge. He is just a little bit afraid of Judge Phil lips in the latter instance.
 There are eight nominations to make on each side for members of the con stitutional convention, and both parties should begin to think seriously. It is understood that F. P. Trott and Vernon L. Clark are both available for this service on the democratic ticket. They say it can't hurt them, and as there is no danger of their ever having to serve they are willing to let the party have their names to fill up the blanks.

Doukhobors Preparing For One of
 Their Pilgrimages.

The Doukhobors that strange re- Iigious sect composed of Russian emi- grants who have settled in northwest Canada, have broken out again and the authorities. especially the mounted po- lice. expect to be kept busy rounding them up and escorting them back to their deserted farms. The most active among them in practicing their beliefs and endeavoring to start another of those strange pilgrimages, are the lead CTS now in jail at Regina, and who re- fuse to eat; the authorities being com peIled to tie them to the floor and in ject food into their stomachs by means of stomach pumps.
 For several weeks past the Douk- hobors have been giving the royal northwest mounted police considerable trouble Every few days a band of them has started on a search for Jesus. and no sooner do the police get one band safely settled back in their homes | than another starts out on the ram page Twice in the last month did a large number of them go out on a pill grimage, annoying the English speak | ing people terrorizing the women and | children.

The GUARIAN cannot refrain
from giving an expression upon
the matter of the resignation OF
E. Il, Ell;nwood as district at
torney of Yavapai county to ac-
cspt employment from the Copper
Queen Mining company, whom he
served rather than the public
while acting az a public officer.
The GUARDIAN also believes that
Mr.. Ellinwood should resign the
manship of the territorial
democr = tic committee. We believe
it to be for the good of the party.
The democratic party of Arizona
does not endorse the position taken
by Mr.. Ellinwood. While his at
titude won for him a lucrative po-
sition from the big mining COM
pany, be mas perfect rlght 10
