WOMAN COMMITS SUICIDE

Apparently tired of the life she
was leading, Violet Smith, a woman
about twenty-five years old, died
yesterday morning in the Depot Ho-
tel. Her means of determination
was a dose of yen chez, which is the
burned substances remaining in the
pipe after opium has been smoked.
The Smith oma was well known
in several of the nearby camps.

depth of 500 feet the success of the

opinion Bate and the camps of
Arizona were not a circumstance
when compared with the richness of
the Greenwater district.

New York, Sept. l.--Governor

Folk in an address after the BAN
quet said: "The man who violates
law is neither q Democrat nor Repub-

he ought to be prosecuted. Politi-
clans to-day are beginning to realize
that honesty is the best politics as

orally conceded that rascal is q
rascal still, whether he calls himself
Republican or Democrat. Partisan
ship is a good thing some times, but
patriotism is a good thing all the time
"When one travels in foreign lands
aud sees stars and stripes, his heart
goes out for love of the flag of his
country. The thing to do is to de-
velop feeling of love of country here
at home and make your citizenship
worthy Of YOUR country

who spent large sums of money
(more than a hundred thousand dol

Of the United States on the North

BY patriotism. Not so long after the
same man was detected trying to de-
bauch the legislature of state to
further a personal aim. This is one
kind Of patriotism. There are other
forms.

months Texas petroleum interests
have become decidedly exercised in
regard to the situation there, and any
thing that looks or even smells like
