REPUBLICAN, RALLY.
Mr.. Cooper Delivered an
Address on Statehood.

Thursday evening the Repub-
licans held their rally at the
Opera House. the speaker of the
evening being w. F. Cooper.
the Republican candidate for
Delegate to Congress. The
band furnished the music and
Peter Henderson presided over
the meeting.
Mr.. Cooper delivered a very
forceful speech to d large audi
enCe. He interspersed his ad-
dress with several good stories
and upon the statehood ques-
tiOn he was very emphatic in
his opposition to jointure. He
denounced the claim of the
iOintureiteS IN this territory
that they would not receive a
fair count of the votes cast for
iOlnt statehood. 1t seems that
some of the gang of traitors to
Arizoua in Tucson had written
President Roosevelt and in their
letter made those allegations
1t was a malicious libel upon
the honesty of Arizonians, irres-
pective of political affiliations,
and the President in a letter to
Governor Kibbey stated that he
did not believe it.
Mr.. Cooper gave a short
sketch of what he had accom-
plished during his sixteen resi-
dence in this territory and stat
ed that he would be able to
benefit Arizona if elected. He
argued that it would be better
to send a man to Washington
who was in harmony with the
the administration. He urged
US to vote jointure down by a
large majority, SO that Congress
would know that we will never
accept any merger propositions.
If we do that it is very improb-
able that Congress will ever try
joint statehood on US again.

JOINTUREITES
Held Forth in the Opera
House Saturday.

The joint-statehooders were
here last night Saturday and
for three hours they denounced
corpora tions, territories, revil-
ed our citizenship and a whole
lot Of other things.
Ainsworth denounced corpor
ations and in the same breath
said that he had always been a
corporation lawyer. He juggled
statistics until the audience was
confused; talked On subjects
that do not concern statehood
The only time that he received
a hearty applause was when he
quoted the platforms of the Re
publican and Democratic Par
ties where they state that we
are unalterably opposed to
statehood with New Mexico and
that we would rather remain a
territory forever than accept it.
He quoted it derision, but the
audience didn t see it that waV.
He referred to SO manv dOCu-
ments that the people grew
weary and many left the Opera
House before he finished.
Tom Fitch. the s;ver- tOngued
ora tor, and who is prominently
known as never being on one
side of anything more than a
year, spoke awhile and he woke
the audience up little-not
with argument, but oratory. He
spoke along the usual iointists
lines, and referred to Arizonians
as being on an equal with the
lepers of Hawaii; the inmates OF
insane asylums and other unfor-
tunate persons. He said that
everyone opposing jOlnture
(Which means a vast maiority of
Arizonians) wore a corporation
collar, and that all anti i-jointure
newspapers were owned by the
corporations. He is not as
careful of the truth as be might
be. They both praised Roose
welt, and in the same minute
stated he would be the next
president. after Roosevelt has
repeatedly confirmed his cleo
tiOn-night statementthat he will
not accept another term. Now,
we wonder which is the iuggler
of truth.
We do not believe that they
made a very good impression
here. The band furnished the
choicest of music and fair-siz-
ed crowd attended. We are
able to give a report of the
meeting on account of being late
with the paper this week.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-"What would the poor do if there wore no rich to work for?" repeated Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes when Miss Morosinl's question was put to her at her home here.
 Please God" answered the former cigarmaker, "they would work for themselves"
 The rich young woman who formerly earned her bread by the sweat Of her brow continued at length, taking Miss Morosini to task for her views on dress and the duties of the rich while so many are suffering for the necsssi- ties of life.
 Miss Morosini created a sensation in a recent interview by saying that her dresses cost S200, 900 . year. that she never wore anything imitation and that her extravagancs. if people chose to call 1t such, was justified by the fact that 1t put money into circulation.
 Mrs. Stokes said:

High!anders could wheel into the ra. vine unseen and form for a fianking attack. and two companies could be swung around on the other side for a like purpose. Then the defending force seemed to be giving way. and the Indians. with tomahawks uplifted, swarmed into the central space, free from the cover of the woods. Sudden ly . terrific fire poured in upon them from three sides. and they were moved down by the score.
 Their yells of triumph were now changed to howls of alright. and in a perfect rout they deserted the field and their dead and wounded. The whites followed them for a time. to give the impression of vigorous pur. suit. though they were too far spent to 60 CT. The Indians left more tam 60 of their warriors dead on the field. and bloody trails showed that many moro had been wounded.
 The victory was complete, being nothing less than the defeat of the fcrces that had been besieging Fort Pitt for weeks. The Indians did not attempt to renew the siege, but re- tired beyond the Ohio. Fort Pitt was saved and the oversweeping tide of savage invasion was turned back. say ing . thousand miles of border from total destruction

THE HEROIC STRUGGLE
 AT BUSBY RUN
Seoyy of an Incident of the Indian Cmnpaisns
 of Om Colonisl Dsys

Nothing in American history is of greater interest or furnishes us more romance and adventure during our early days than the struggles of the civilization of the east as it advanced into the Indian lands of the west. Among these historic battles that of Bushy Run stands out prominently.
 The settlers along the western iron. ter had hoped for peace at the close of the French and Indian war. and theirs would probably not have been vain hope but for that greatest of Indian leaders. Pontiac. His elo- quence brought all the tribes of the western border together for one mighty blow at the white settlers. At the first blow struck all the forts of the frontier except Niagara, Detroit and Pitt fell. and 1t is with the relief of the latter that we have to deal.
 Fort Pitt was recognised as an i'm portant strategic point, and it was determined to send an expedition from the east for its relief Col Henry Bouquet, brave Swiss, but serving the British king, was chosen to the command. He started with about 600 men, the remnants of two regiments just returned from an ex- hausting service in the West Indies. and added about 100 ridemen to his force on the way.
 The soldiers were so broken by their arduous and wearing service in the tropics that they were fit only for garrison duty, and before the jour- ney was completed 60 of them had to
