eve are groping on the verge of another great epoch in the worlds history" remarks Thomas A. Edison, who is encouraged to believe that some day presently, indeed any day now some one of the worlds 10000 Investigating scientists will seize the secret of transmitting electrical power directly, thereby saving the immense cost of transporting enor- nous quantities of coal over long distances. Instead of digging coal out of the earth, loading it on cars,
 and carrying it perhaps hundreds of miles, there to put it under a boiler and burn, and so produce power, we shall set up plants at the mouths of mines, generate power there, and transmit it wherever it is needed by copper wire. It will cost more than a third less, in MT. Edison's opinion.

Irregularities by Yavapai Officials.

Public Examiner w. c. Foster in a report on his recent investigation of official affairs in Prescott shows a large number of irregularities among the offices in Yavapai county.
 F'Usfer says that consta bles are re- ceiving $52 per year as sanitary in- spectors, contrary to law, and that Sheriff Lowry charged $229.45 in the first quarter of this year in excess of the proper mileage charges.
 Lowry is charged with drawing Sl, 200 annually for services of jailors, without having had their appoint ments confirmed by the supervisors. He is charged with drawing $22 per quarter for janitors, when the work is done by prisoners, who may destroy or steal records.
 Foster calls attention to telephone and telegraph charges incurred by officials and recommends that all slot machines, paying money be taxed $50 per quarter.
 J. M. Watt, clerk of the district court is charged with collecting some fees from the county to which he is not entitled, but has offset this by failing to collect some he is entitled to bV law

TO THE CROUCHERINOS.

When your head is bowed in sorrow, And your soul is out of tune; When the Hope-Star of tomorrow Is behind cloud of gloom; When Morose Imagination
 Leads you to Distractions Brink In your selfish dissipation
 Did you ever stop to think? Man alive, or woman crazy
 With your own importance shirk; You are sick, which means too lazy To keep well, l,-too strong to work. Or, it may be you're addicted
 To some devils dope or drink, And alone must stand convicted
 If you'll only stop to think. Pm broncho; my Pegasus
 Is a cyclone on a tear. But to ride with dopefed asses
 Makes me want to shed some swear. Raise your head and fling your sorrow
 To the dogs, with dope and drink; And the sun will shine tomorrow,
 If you'll hustle while you think. Done this Christmas Eve, 1905-after spin ir the open with The Roycrofters. CAPTAIN JACK CRAWFORD.

A San Francisco dispatch says: "The 65 and 66 cents per ounce, is causing heavy shipments through these parts, via Seattle and Van couver, to the Orient, of Mexican dollars melted into bullion. Ship ments are being sent by Wells-Fargo express from Mexican points under heavy guards in the express company cars. It is said that during the past sixteen days S13, in silver bull lion have been brought out of Mex ico for shipment to the far east from this coast. In financial circles the prediction is being made that silver is going to 70 cents because the sur plus production is limited, while the demand is constantly growing.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw states that he will purchase silver bullion for coinage and that the first purchase under the act will be made some time in January. Small silver coins are so scarce and the demand so great that many millions of ounces of silver will have to be bought and coined to fill the demand. France, Germany, England and Russia will soon enter the market for large amounts of silver, which will neces- sarily give an upward tendency to the white metal.

ArtiIIery's Fire Lays Moscow in Ruin.

Dispatches of January 1st says:
 "Nothing is now visible in a whole square mile of the city but smoking ruins," the Moscow correspondent of the Standard telegraphs.
 "Many mills have been destroyed as well as dwelling houses, and it is estimated that 10000 persons are homeless or dead. Judging from the enormous heaps of corpses dragged from the ruins by the firemen, who are now playing on the smouldering ruins, the majority must be reckoned as dead.
 "The revolutionaries came within an ace of capturing the perfect and the whole administration quarter, but they failed to push their advant- age to the uttermost.
 "Thursday night witnessed the ar rival by special trains of the entire Smonovsky regiment of the guards from St. Petersburg and of a brigade of artillery. Other guards were brought from Warsaw, whence also a couple of infantry regiments had been summoned.
 "The imposing disposing of force had it's effect on the insurgent lead CTS, who the same night gave word to their followers to disperse.
 "The following day the police be- gan to make their arrangements.
 "At o'clock Saturday morning a murderous cannonade commenced such as had hitherto been unheard in Moscow. This was followed by a con- fagration unparalleled since the patriotic incendiaries in the French invasion of 1872. A square mile of the capital has been laid in ruins. What the guns spared was purposely fired in order to smoke out the revolu- tionaries from their retreats.
 "The whole district was surrounded by troops who shot down the wretch ed inhabitants as they fled from the fury of the flames while artillery posted at five points played inces- sanity on the doomed quarter from 5 o'clock in the morning until o'clock in the afternoon.
 "The details of this ruthless SUD- pression ofrebellionby in discriminate slaughter are indescribable. Be tween and o'clock the firing was perhaps, at its slackest and indi- vidnal shots could be noted.
 "Yet even in this period I counted, watch in hand, forty rounds in five minuates from batteries nearest the center of the town.
 ''One battery of Moscow artillery is under arrest for having refused to fire.
 CT am informed that the object of the government in carrying out this wholesale butchery was to pre- vent a similar attempt in St. Peters burg"
 The Moscow correspondent of the Times reports;
 1.-The Presna quarter has been con- pletely destroyed by artillery. It was the poorest quarter and almost entirely composed of wooden houses, The Prokharoff mills and the Schmidt factory, which served as de- pots of arms for the revolutionaries, and the Geological and Botanical gardens were all destroyed by the flames. The whole sky was reddened.
 "The last of the revolutionary CO., horts was commanded by girl eigh- teen years old.
