DYNAMITE kILlS
 ANOTHER WCTIM

William Johnson was instantly killed and his body carried l25 feet by a dynamite explosion near tunnel D on mile 53 of the railroad Saturday after noon. He was alone and when men went to the scene attracked by the detonation they found the dead body of the victim in the blackSmith'S tent through which it had fallen after it's flight from the explosion. Itmust have been carried high in the air
 Johnson was powderman for Reese & Company, station men. Soon after lunch he went to the powder house a short distance from the camp to get some powder. He had barely had time to reach the spot when the explosion was heard. Apparently he had just entered the powder house.
 Only little more than n 5O-pound box of powder was in the house. Had there been a large quantity the man would have been blown to fragments. As it was his legs were badly mutilated but his body and head were almost un- marked. A peculiar fact is that the body was carried more than forty yards over knoll and through trees and by its weight pulled loose the rope which held one corner of the tent, falling in- side. The man was undoubted killed instantly It is supposed the powder had been heated and the draft of fresh air caused the explosion.
 Johnson came to Seward on the Valencia in August. His home was in Sweden.

YERKFS' WIDOW
 MARRiES AGAIN Weeds Mizner, a Former Alaskan Who Failed to Make Fortune
 in the North
gy cn5l0 to Tho Daily Gateway.


 New York. Feb. civilian Mizner of San Francisco has married Mrs. Charles r. YerkeS, widow of the street railway magnate who died in Dec ember. He k a sc;on of a prominent San Francisco family and is much younger than his wife. He was in Dawson for several years after the Klcudike discovery, with his brother Edgar Mizuer who represents the Alaska Commercial Company there.
 William Mizner was then young man scarcely more than of age. He accumulated nothing at Dawson and in 1900 went Co Nome, where he remained for some time without cutting much ngure. His most important act was to appear as a witness for the defense in the trial of the son of the late Senator Allen of Washington, who was convict ed of highway robbery, but was granted a new trial by the circuit court of ap- peals and finally discharged.
 Mrs. Mizncr denies the story that her youthful husband eXacted a settle ment of SI. 100000 from her before the marriage. She states that Mr. GerkeS did not request her not to remarry, but asked only that she be buried beside himself

BECOMING DESPERATE.

In its fight for joint statehood the All l,.,oueruue Citizen has worked itself into a frenzy of desperation. It has got to that point where it is willing to place all in the balance for this boon. 1t would like to have other desirable things such as a clean legislature and honest and competent county officials but if it is necessary to make sacrifices in this direction the Citizen is willing to do 1t and try and rectify mistakes later. In a recent lengthy editorial concerning the coming election the Citizen says:
 The importance Of the matters upon which the voter will be called upon to exercise his franchise, can not be over estimated. Chief among these is the question of statehood. Of course it is important that we send good men and true, able and honest men, to the legis- lature and that we select the same character of officials for our county government. But mistake here can be rectifed two years hence. Error in either can be productive oi only temporary evil Not so with the question of statehood. Mistake here will cast its malign influence on New Mexico, in all probability throughout the entire lifetime of every one now voter in the territory. Re tection of statehood now undoubtedly means the continuance of territorial vassalage and infelicity through times indefinite The citizen has so often ar gued this point that repetition oi it need not now be reproduced. Every friend of statehood should not only re alike the vital character of the issue at stake. but he should exert whatever influence he may have in directing oth- CTS into the same path
 The case is not nearly so desperate in New Mexico as the Citizen fmagines, for if statehood is defeated as it will be. it can at most be but a few years until both territories are admitted. And speaking of infelicity the presence Of that unhappy state in New Mexico now, would seem like poets dream. in comparison with the infelicity that would follow jointure. Jointure means h continuous rough house for both ter FttOFies, metaphorically speaking. Over here in Arizona the matter really is vital for if jointure prevails there will be no opportunity later for Arizona to ''rectify'' things. It is a question Of supreme importance to Arizona. but even so she is not going to become frantic about it. She is going right along and elect good men to the legis- lSture and county offices, just as she has been doing and will continue to do. She is not going to pollute or stuff her ballot boxes, buy votes against joint uTe, or nominate any rascals just be- cause they may have some pull against tOinture at the polls. But the Arizona people are going to march up on cleo lion day, very near solidIy and file their protest against this outrageous and iniquitous project designed to rob her of almost everything she has from her autonomy to her pocketbook.

THAT WILL SETTLE TT.

\ Phoenix business man who recent iy returned from visit in the east spending a portion of h.s time in Kan sas, chanced one day to be introduced to Senator Chester A. Long of that state. The conversation turned to the question of joint statehood and very naturally the Phoenix man took delight in telling the senator the facts in the ease and the prevailing conditions in the two territories. Moreover he is a man who has travelled widely in both territories and knew exactly what he was talking about The senator Seemed to lake great deal of interest in the subject and at the conclusion of the conversation he said he was glad the question had been left to a vote of the people, for, said he. that will set tie the question forever
 This conversation is not referred to as 'an indication of anything new on the subject in the senatorial mind. but only to emphasize the ridicuIousness of the hope expressed by the jointists. that If they make any kind of a showing at the polls, they will be able to induce congress at the next session to drag the two territories in as one state re- sardless of their wishes. It is hardly to be presumed that congress wouId leave the matter to a vote of the people etiless 1t intended 10 take the result as

final. This referendum will cost the government a snug lietle piece Of money, and there are too many other pressing purposes for which it might be appropriated, to engage in this en- terprise just for the fun of delaying the fight few months. Congress, it is be- lieved, desired to settle the matter rightly and in conformity with the wishes of the people. If there was any, other object it was to place the respon- sibility of whatever is done on the peo- pie Of the territories themselves. In either case congress was in earnest and meant what it said. In the event of a tie vote only. which Is almost incon- ceivable. can 1t be expected that con- gress will further interest itself seri- ously in jointure. The thing the people of Arizona want to do is to bury the issue at the polls so deeply the few jointists left will not have even an in centive to take up the fight again.
