 To the working men of Arizona, I want to say that in this Territory the working men have the balance of power at the ballot box. They are in the majority in Arizona. but join this Territory to the sheep herders and ag- ricultural interests of New Mexico, who care nothing about the rights of labor, and the balance of power will be destroyed.
 Our joint statehood friends come and tell us that we can compel corpo- rations to pay more taxes if we were hooked up with New Mexico. want to call your attention to the fact that the Southern Pacific railroad in Ari- zona is assessed for s11 900 per mile, while tust across the line, in this new promised land, the same corporation pays taxes on s1,000 per mile for the same railroad"
 Touching on the extra burden of tax ation which would be saddled upon Arizona, Mark Smith called attention to the act that the public debt of Ari- zona was approximately two and half million dollars for which we make A territorial tax levy of 75 cents on the dollar, while in New Mexico they only confess 10 an indebtedness of s751.- 900, but the ylevy a territorial tax rate of s155."
 Mark Smith said no man on earth knew exactly the amount of indebted ness in New Mexico. Two counties alone owe more than the territorial debt in New Mexico. And from the best estimate that could be obtained the territorial and county debt of New Mexico was $3,600,00e, 10 say nothing or the militia warrants amounting to more than million dollars.
 Coming on down the list of areu- ments. the Democratic candidate call ed attention to the difference in our scnool systems, our different trade re- iauons, and last the unequal propor- tlon Of representation as represented oy the apportionment of delegates to the proposed constitutional conveh- ton wherein New Mexico WAS given tt votes and Arizona A.

The reporter for the Elks was very much astonished and somewhat alarm ed when Della Fox Lewis came tear ing into his office this morning with dishevelled hair and a wild look in his face and addressed him as fol- lows:
 Look here, Mir Reporter, seen that gulf that you all have been dis tributing around this ere city, and I don't like it no how" Of course the reporter politely inquired as to his special trouble and Foxey Lewis re- piled: 'Waal, don't know as you uns are strictly to blame, but l ain't goin' to stand around with my hand in my pocket and listen to that Missouri Giant, Christy Ball. without at least lcttin people hear from me, especially as I am positive that I have the best end of the deal" In what way, in quired the reporter with an amused smile? ''Waal. 70 be brief and to the pint, he is puffed up, with his medals and the like, reckon. and has ruined his wind. but howsomever here I have chased the horny steers up ani down the medders for nye on to two months. while he. the lubber, has spent the precious moments in pursuing the fair sex and I low has overtrained. can't git around the fact that he's get ! record and the best of i.

HORSE THIEF S CAPTURED IN
 b|SbEE
c. A. McRea, Who Boasts of a Criminal Record, Is Taken Back to Texas To Stand Tral-Has Consumption,

Sheriff j. F. Stanley. of Trinity county, Texas. was & passenger on the outbound morning train for Groveton, taking with him c. A. McRae, who is
 wanted in the Lone Star state for horse stealing.
 McCrae's story is probably one of the most peculiar known to criminal records for some years past, in fact.
 He has been wanted in one part of the country or another for the past twen- ty years, but this is the first time that he has ever been arrested. and he
 would probably still be free if it were not for the fact that his health is un- dermined, and he has come to that stage of criminal degradation when he does not care whether he is in the penitentiary or out of 1t.
 Several months ago Sheriff Stanley heard that McRae had been seen in Bisbee. and sent a detailed descrip- tion to the local police. McRae was careless, and while drinking one ev- ening made some remarks concerning his past life, and finally got to boast ing of several crimes for which he was wanted. About three weeks ago Constable White heard of McRae's talk, and on Investigating came to the conclusion that he was none other than the man whose description Stan | ,y had sent some months before.
 He wired to Stanley in regard to the matter. and received a reply at once stating that extradition papers would be secured. and the sheriff him. self would come to Bisbee as soon as possibly.
 Stanley arrived in the city on Thursday evening. when he and White took up the hunt for the man whom they suspected of being McRae. Their search was unsuccessful until early yesterday morning. when they found him coming from work.
 When informed that he was under arrest McRae asked for what reason, and protested that he was not the man for whom they were looking. The officers. however, did not think that he could account for his movements in a satisfactory manner, and took him to the county jail, After being in the jail several hours. and when it got very close to train time, McRae final ly admitted that he was the man for whom the police. officials of many cit ies have been looking. and consented to return to Texas without any fight against extradition.
 The prisoner -told Sheriff Stanley that he was almost dead from con- anyhow. and that he was willing to go to the penitentiary or any place else, as he knew it would l be only question of very short time | at the outside when he would be re- | leased from prison to be taken to the | grave yard.
 McRae has been employed in the | mines around Bisbee for the past | three months, but never got into any | trouble during that time. He admit ted to the sheriff that he had married | four different women. and that three | of them are living at the present time.
 He is small in stature, not being | nore than 5 feet 6 inches in height. | and not weighing more than 120 pounds. His appearance is that of cerson in the last stages of consump- ion. He is forty-seven years of age, md was born in Texas.

1.-THE MAID AND THE
 MuMMYn IS COMING

That the management of the local Opera House intends to give the peo- pie of Bisbee the best theatrical pro auctions which can be secured. is evi- denced by the fact that the great mu- sical comedy. "The Maid and the Mummy" which was the most success full hit cf the season in New York City last year, will be produced at the Opera House on Sunday, November 11th.
 "The Maid and the Mummy" was played in New York City for fifty weeks last season. and the total box office receipts were s424. .621.75, and it was estimated that 700 900 people have witnessed the performance of the show.
 The company which is now travelling in the play is the same company which produced it in New York City, and is now travelling toward the Pacific Coast. At every place where the piece has been played the press com ments have been flattering and 1t will undoubtedly be the biggest and highest class musical comedy which was ever produced in the city.
 There are 78 people in the company, 65 of this number being chorus girls. The chorus in this show has proved 10 be one of the biggest attractions.
 Uncle Josh Perkins" the great farce comedy. will be produced at the Opera House this evening by an az gregation of well known comedians.
 The melodramatic success. Lights of Frisco" will be put on Sunday night by a company headed by Miss Grace yls~orth.
