Burned Brother for Insurance.

New York, February 15.-Ac-
cused of having murdered his
brother, Carl, for the purpose of
obtaining life insursance money
amounting to $4,000, Alexander
Legler, Jr., was arraigned in court
in Jersey City. The examination
was postponed until Saturday to
allow Chief of Police Murphy to get
together his witnesses.
In explaining the case to the court
Chief Murphy said the prisoner was
suspected of having poured benzine
over his brother, Carl, and of having
set him afre while he slept and
added that it was believed that when
Leger saw his brother would not
succumb to his injuries, he caused
the victims death by administering
some powder, presumably poisonous.
The police announce they will en-
deavor to have the body exhumed
by the authorities at Baxley, Ga,
whittier it was taken by Legler soon
after his brothers. death.
Carl Legler's death occurred De-
cember 10, five days after he was
found ablaze in his room at his
boarding house in Summit avenue,
where he lived with Alexander.
Death was reported accidental and
Chief Murphy did not learn of the
case until Friday. He began the
investigation which resulted in Alex
ander Legler's arrest last night.

Another Letter from Bro. w.rdl.w.

Tempe, Arizona, February o.
Editors Keowse Courier: Yesterday
morning we left Prescott, surrounded
by snow.capped mou tains and with
a white frost everyw n ere, to land
among Oranges ON the ees at Phe-
nix yesterday afternoon. Quite a
change of climate in SO short a time.
Tempe is only about nine miles
from Phoenix, situated in the Salt
River Valley.
Phoenix is the present capital of
the Territory, but if Arizona and
New Mexico be merged into one
State, as proposed by the joint State
hood bill, the capital of the new
State thus formed will be at Santa
Fe, New Mexico. can see no ad-
vantage to be gained by Statehood,
and some disadvantages will resu't.
Phoenix is pretty city of eight or
ten thousand people.
Tempe, my present home, is
town of 1900 or 1000 inhabitants,
supported by agriculture and one of
the Territorial normal schools. 1t is
reached by the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe railroad systems. The eli.
mate is SO mild in winter that figs
and semi-tropical fruits do we'll here.
Oranges are grown here, and the hay
and grain crops are real good.
Wages are high, and consequently
living is high. Good mechanics get
81 day.
Northeast of here is the big dam
under construction by the United
States, the cost of which will be one
or two million dollars. Its purpose
is to store the water at times when
there is more water than is needed,
and supply it at times when there is
not enough. 1t will supply water to
hundreds of acres of land that is now
useless for want of water.
l had conversation yesterday
with a Presbyterian minister who
breaches at Congress-, Ariz. He said
he was the only Protestant minister
between Phoenix and Prescott, dist
ance of 1876 miles. These people
are either indifferent or opposed to
the church, except in rare instances,
which make possibly less than 5 per
cent of the entire population. How
ever, the energetic missionary usu-
ally wins his way, even among his
opponents.
To-day is the first since we left
Seneca that we have been out of
sight of snow.
Respectfully, @. Wardlaw.

Our Neigbbor.--Those living near

ouT NoiSuUOT.--A uObc tiViuS uo6T
by are not always our neighbors.
The priest and Levite passed close
to the unfortunate man who had
fallen among thieves and was in a
helpless condition. They saw the
wounded man, but took special care
not TO assist the poor fellow. The
priest and Levite were not in pos
session of that spirit which teaches
men to be neighborly. But certain
Samaritan, as he journeyed, came
10 the wounded man when he saw
him, got down off his beast and
bound up the wounds, took him to
an inn and had him cared for. The
Samaritan had to sacrifice time, la
Dor and money in order that he
might be neighbor to the man who
had fallen among thieves. The
priest and Levite did not expect
any record to be made of that par
ticulsr incident, but when Gods
love, through the heart of that good
Samaritan, made this public when he
reached the inn, down there in Jeri-
oho, we still see the priest and
Levite passing by on the other side.
We can all see in our fellowman the
same spirit that caused the priest
and Levite to pass by on the other
side, but if we would only stop and
gaze at our own fair form, before the
mirror of Gods love, we could see a
likeness of the same spirit. SO when
we see the family next door to us in
need, who cannot help themselves,
and fail to give helping hand, we
are passing by on the other side, and
fail to be their neighbor. Then to
be a good citizen we must be neigh
borly.
God-fearing.-Among the many
qualifications that constitute good
citizenship God fearing is the great
est and most important. 1t should
be the motto of every man and wo-
man, whether they are good citizen
or not. BY fearing God and prac-
ticing our fear we grow into good
citizenship and become fit to be
adopted into spiritual citizenship
that is ours by divine right, if we
will only work to it and not from it.
Many of US wander from the right
in order to carry out some selfish
motive. When we are working
strife in community by using a
perverse tongue, we fail to fear God
and walk in his ways. AS we are
part Of the workmanship of Gods
own hands, we have been sent out to
cultivate our talents, that our souls
may return in brightness to hear that
welcome invitation due the faithful
servant. On the other hand our
souls will return in darkness to hear
the doom of the unfaithful servant.

was at the Cotton Convention in New
Orleans recently talking corn. He raises
1875 bushels to the acre, and has been
doing that for ten years past. His method
corn but very little cultivation, but gives
that cultivation at the right time. Our
people work their crop into big stalks
and small ears. Mr.. Williams works his
up into small stalks and big ears. He
does not begin to plough his field until
the corn has reached certain stage, and
he saves labor. and makes big crop. BY
way of comparison, 1t might be- stated
that farmers around Mr.. Williams raise
from ten to fifteen bushels of corn to the
acre A system of farming by which 1875
bushels of corn ia produced to the acre is
