throughout his illness was his constant

Colonel Henderson had lust returned
from California, when he was attacked

time that the affliction was but tempor-

progress OF the disease, and in Septem-

There he remained in about the

when he was stricken with paralysis
for second time and left blind. It be-

a matter Of but a few days. Gradually
the patient became weaker until last

mind became clear. He recognized all
the members Of his family, asked for
old friends and seemed so greatly inn

weaker and his mind was clouded
again. Saturday he lapsed into un-

ELKS MINISTRIES
 SECOND SESSION
Again a Crowded and Delighted
 House at the Doris.

The Elks minstrels company appear ed again last night at the Doris opera house, to a packed house. The audi ence could not have been any better than it was the night before but it was equally as good and fully as apprecia- tive though there was necessarily a lit tie less surprise at some of the funny things done for the reason that there were some present who had seen the first performance
 The performance itself was identi- cal with that of the night before ex- cept that MT Connolly had remodeled the last end of his speech a little bit to meet the changed conditions in re- spect of statehood. Quite naturally he demonstrated that he had been a good prophet and announced that he would telegraph MT. FOraker his congratula- tions. The program as a whole was even better rendered than the night before for there was the benefit of the first nights experience which each participant had.
 Altogether the entertainments given on both nights will stand as model amateur performances for a long time to come and it will put the Elks to a deal of thinking to improve on their work another year. But if they all ways do as well it will be satisfactory.

government are, of course, bound by the rules of regular and orderly pro- eedure. and while they have consist ently endeavored to do everything that was officially possible to expedite the negotiations, the numerous delays in cident to such matters could have been overcome only by persistent effort by some one not officially connected with the government.
 MT. Fowler has kept in touch with the proceedings at every stage and by his attention, patience and tactful in sistence has succeeded in cutting off numerous corners that would otherwise have caused much delay.
 "The city of Washington contains many people who are here solely for the purpose of urging departmental action upon all sorts of matters. both of public and private interest. Com pairing MT. Fowler's efforts with theirs it is plain to the initiated that he has been successful in an unusual degree. There are many men in Washington now as earnest and as industrious as MT. Fowler. whose efforts have had no more effect upon the progress of the matters in which they are inter ested than the traditional bump on a log," or. as has been aptly said, than the freckles on the face of the moon"
 'The fact that the recent negotia- tions looking to the sale of the canals have been closed within two months and a half, instead of taking twice that long. is unquestionably due all most solely to Mir. Fowler's presence here and to his untiring efforts.
 'The people of the Salt River valley should understand and appreciate this, but venture to say that no one who has ever been on the ground and is fla miliar with the details can give Mir. Fowler the full credit which he de- serves"

The Work of B. A. Fowler.

Tn the midst of the general rejoicing and the outpouring of congratulations it Is not likely that the Hon. B. A. Fowler will be forgotten. His recent accomplishments at Washington after long and persistent effort have added to the gratitude which the people must feel for his great part in bringing the application of the reclamation act to this valley.
 The difficulties of his late tas:l are not easily understood at this distance, but it is realized that they were great. MT. Charles c. Randolph, correspond ent at Washington of The Republican. in a letter of congratulation to the readers of this paper pays the follow ing tribute to MT. Fowler:
 "The people of the valley are to be congratulated on the splendid future opened up by the governments deter imitation to proceed with the work of reclamation in the only permanent and practical way. It is not the policy of the government to build for the present only. It's purpose is to construct ir- rigation works in Arizona that will endure and place upon the people the minimum burden for maintaining the same.
 Now that the secretary of the inte- rior has settled the question, it is an appropriate time to recognize the in valuable services of MT. B. A. Fowler in meeting and overcoming the numer- ous difficulties that have beset these negotiations MT. Fowler's work can not be appreciated except by one who has been on the ground and who has been cognizant of the many difficult phases which the matter has at vari- ous-times assumed.

A Time for Rejoicing.

Justice prevailed over power and political craft Arizona has been saw cd from the serfdom which it was thought political exigencies demanded. It has been removed from a danger which had threatened it for two years.
 We believe We have now heard the last of joint statehood. thanks to the higher honor which controls the sen ate of the United States and to an awakened public opinion.
 Especial thanks are due Senator Foraker and those who stood with him against a contemplated act of injus- tice at which the indignation of the country rose higher and higher.
 The Republican has all along con- fidently believed that what took place yesterday would come to pass.
 It expressed an opinion yesterday of the possibility of the elimination of Arizona and New Mexico from the statehood bill and it entertained no doubt at all of the adoption of the Forazer amendment.
 It now remains to be seen what the house will do. That will naturally re- main a subject of conjecture but an opinion may be ventured that it will not be permitted to concur in the Bur- rows provision.
 It may be further predicted that the bill will resume the shape it had after the adoption of the Foraker amend ment and that it will then become q law.
 It is much the same to Arizona for whether the bill stands as it is now or whether the question comes before the people, there will be no joint state hood.
 We do not think that the president would any longer oppose the Foraker provision whatever may be his liking and the action of the house rests with the president.
 It is not in his record that he sur countered such a series of rebuffs as have lately been administered to him. They will no doubt tend him toward tractability.
 He and his friends have all along said that his strength lay in the fact that he has been the true representa- tive of the people. However that may be, he certainly can no longer believe that the people are demanding his persistence in the unrighteous project which was frustrated yesterday.
 Arizona has been doubly the gainer by the events of the last three months. The jointure ghost for one thing has been effectually laid. The territory in the meantime has been placed before the country in the most favorable light. More has been learned of the territory, it's people and its great un- developed wealth, by this statehood agitation than could have been told the world in any other way.
