A MENACE TO sToCKMEN.

"Plain Talk" the new anti-jOint statehood paper of Apache county, di- rects the attention of the stockmen, especially the sheepmen, of Apache and adjacent counties to a misfortune which the success of the jointure move ment would certainly entail.
 The sheepmen are reminded of an earlier time when the territorial line was entirely disregarded by the sheep men of New Mexico, whose immense flocks having denuded their ranges were driven across the line to devas- tate the pastures of Apache, Coconino and Navajo. There was no legal re- striction to prevent their invasion of the ranges of Arizona, whose sheep men of the north were greatly dam aged. some being driven out of busi- ness. At length the legislature of this territory imposed restrictions which preserved the rights of Arizonians to Arizona ranges. somewhat imma- teiaI fact in connection with this legis- lation against extra territorial stock men is omitted by Plain Talk and that is that the legislation was not en- acted without opposition. The oppo- sition came from members of the legis- lature who had no stock interests themselves and who are now joint statehood advocates and who in inter- est are now, as they were then, New Mexicans rather than Arizonians.
 Plain Talk proceeds to ask the northeastern sheepmen if there is the slightest probability that their range rights would be preserved to them against the roaming New Mexican flocks after jointure had been effected.
 The Republican, among it's many ob- -jections to jointure, has presented the menace to stockmen contained in the project-not only to the sheepmen of the northern counties but to the cat tlemen in all the counties
 In most of the western states and territories there have been standing conflicts between sheepmen and cattle men. There was formerly such con- flict in Arizona. At present there is none. The rights of all have been so adjusted that they are respected alike by cattlemen and sheepmen. New Mexico's principal industry is sheep raising. Such laws as exist there were especially designed to foster it. The same or similar laws would certainly govern the whole stock raising business of Arizona the Great.

THIRD FLOOR TRAGEDY.

Murder"
 One afternoon a short time back, this cry in an hotel, proceeding from a room on the third floor. caught the ears of several chambermaids, and created in stant consternatiOn.
 "Oh, heavensi"
 It was the voice of a man who shrieked the words from room No. 40, and the chambermaids at once sent a messenger to the office with the news that murder was being committed.
 Don't kill me by inches!"
 These words alarmed others besides the chambermaids and the group of three or four presently grew to a dog en. Who occupied the room? One of the chambermaids recOllected seeing a beetle brown man of somewhat pirat- ical look, accompanied by woman closely yelled, enter the room. Was he killing her?
 "Oh, oh-you are killing mel"
 It was the voice of a man! The yelled woman had him in her power, and seemed to be submitting him to some sort of torture. Several of the crowd knocked at the door. and one of the chambermaids demanded in a falsetto voice that it should be opened at once There was a Hal ha, hal" from the yelled woman, and the voice

Women Who Wear Well.

It Is astonishing how great change Q few years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of it's freshness and the form of it's fairness.

Aid q Noble Cause.

The philanthropic purpose put into
action by the Salvation Army through
its local representatives, and having
for its object Christmas dinner for
Clarlksburg's poor Is happily pro-
ceeding to a most successful cul-
mination, thanks to the generous In
clfnation of those, possessed of a
competence and imbued with true
Christmas spirit, who are willing to
share their good fortune with others
seriously lacking in worldly wealth.
To further this noble work, these
seIf-sacrihcing souls are planning to
sell several hundred copies of The
War Cry, which is the Salvation
Army publication and which in it's
present form is a most attractive and
interesting issue. A copy of The
War Cry will be placed in every bas-
ket of provisions sent to the poor.
Now 1t is needless to observe that
the Army officers should be given
every encouragement in their noble
work, striving as they are to uplift
and upbuild class in society that
previous to the advent of the Saliva
ton Army received but scant atten-
ton from other Christian agencies.
BY deeds of loving and substantial
service to earth's forIorn and lowly,
that new born denomination has be-
come one of the most potent factors
