Worse Than WcIch Rarcbit.

Microbes in the water,
Microbes in the air:
Microbes in the pie and cake.
Microbes everywhere;
Laying for us in the cold,
Likewise in the heat:
Every time we draw our breath
Or stop to drink or eat.
In horrid CONSERVATION
We vainly try to sleep;
We know that through the easement
The Microbes strive to creep;
Though as creations mighty lords
We swagger and pretend.
The Microbe is the only one
Who triumphs in the end.

Deadly Poison and Closely Resembles the
Edible Mushroom.
most Of them, are not poisonous. Abil-
1ty to distinguish poisonous varieties
from those that are edible is not cas-
lily learned. On the other hand those
who wish to collect fungi for their own
consumption or the market must be-
GIN by committing to memory the dis
tinguishing marks Of a few species.
Until this Is done one must not ven
ture to trust to general rules for dis
tinguishing good species from bad.
There Is one rule. however, which
should be applied: NO one, unless de-
eddedly expert. should collect for eat
ing the buttons, or small, unexpanded
fungi, since in their young condition
Il II often impossible, even for experts,
to recognize what the species is. The
Department of Agriculture has issued
Q number Of bulletins on mushroom
growing which give certain rules for
determining the difference between the
edible common field mushrooms and
those that are deadly poisonous. This
subject is particularly treated in the
Year Book for 1897; reprints Of this
portion can be obtained from the Divi
sion Of Publications.
The mushroom in commerce is prsc-
tically the fruit Of the mushroom
plant, and not the plant itself. The
plant proper is a white or blush white
mold-the spawn-that grows in fields
and manure piles. Comparing the
mushroom to an apple tree, we have
the trunk, branches and leaves buried
in the ground. leaving only the apples
themselves standing above the ground.
The toadstool, like the apple, con-
tains the means of reproduction-the
apple contains seeds, while the toad
stool Is filled with microscopic, dust.

Important Crop Abroad.
Mushrooms are extensively grown in
England and France, and to limited
extent in Belgium, Germany and in
many other countries. Paris, however

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

We, the representatives of the Dem- ocratic party of Mohave county, Ari- zona, in convention assembled, present our candidates to the people of Mohave county upon the following declaration of principles:
 We express our unqualified endorse ment of William Jennings Bryan as a candidate for the office of President of the United States, believing him to be a true Democrat and an unfaltering friend of the whole people.
 Second. We heartily endorse our Delegate to Congress, Mark A. Smith, and his brilliant service in behalf of our beloved Territory.
 Third. We are unalterably opposed to joint statehood between New Mex ico and Arizona and prefer to remain Territory forever, rather than ac- cept statehood under such conditions.
 Fourth. We favor the equal taxa ton of all property of every kind and character, believing that the burdens of taxation when approximately di- vided, will produce no hardships upon any of our people, and to accomplish this end, we recommend that the leg islature of the Territory of Arizona pass law creating the office of assess or for counties of this class, and said office to be separate and distinct from any other.
 Fifth. We are opposed to the ex- emption of property from taxation, ex- cept unpatented mining claims, be- lieving that the mining industry and future welfare of our country is de- pendent upon the prospector.
 Sixth. We pledge our nominees to an economic administration of public affairs.
 To all the citizens of the county, irrespective of former party affilia- tions, we ask that they join with us in the hearty support of these principles.

The federal grand jury has indicted all the lumber companies, ice compan- ies and meat and cold storage compan- ies doing business in Phenix. The in- dictments were found under the Sher- man antitrust law. It is understood that the lumber companies at Flag staff, Williams and other points on San Francisco mountain, and their agencies, are to be haled before the federal court at Prescott, in Decem- Der. It will please the people of north ern Arizona to learn why lumber now costs twice as much as it did a few years ago. Freight rates are now bwer and the improved mill machin- cry has reduced the cost of production and the companies have the greatest pine forest on earth to draw from. A maximum stumpage of one dollar is charged by the government. The best of lumber can be produced at the mills for ten dollars per thousand, inside of which there is profit.

ent. and then he proceeds to prove his
statement The task is a comparative
ly easy one, and it is necessary only to
handle few big and tremendously
significant figures. Here they are:
1t is the stock argument of advo-
Gates of the present system, of those
who oppose rate regulation or control,
that our rates are low. To prove it
they point TO the fact that the average
interest and dividends upon railroad
stocks and bonds is only about 4 per
cent
Upon the present railroad capitaliz-
alton, this is true.
Upon the actual investment of capital
in railroad properties the interest rate
is nearer 30 per cent.
The story of railroad stock watering
of today is told in these figures:
capitalization -. $14 100000 600
Gross earnings ..-...--. 2,OOOOOO,OOO
Net earnings . 100000, 900
The statistical abstract of the United
States for 1905 shows the capitalization
of railroads in the country to have
been at the rate of $667S0 per mile.
Good authorities state the actual cost
of railroad construction to be less than
half that amount The difference is
water.
Some of the best authorities i'll the
country agree that the actual railroad
investments in the United States do
not exceed $4,000. 600, 900, and of this
value fully 81 .OOO, 100000 has been con-
tributed by the government in land
grants.
In other words, the builders of rail
roads have actually spent four billions:
the remainder, no less than ten billion
dollars. has been pocketed by promo
tiers. syndicates and spectators, and
the stocks. bonds and other securities
of which they have relieved themselves
furnish today the excuse for rates and
prices beyond all reason, yet required
in order To pay moderate dividends on
their billions of watered capital.
And yet this outrage upon the people
is maintained-the people are required
to pay many hundreds of millions of
dollars unjust interest-under the doc
trine of vested rights" which forbids
the people to interfere, through fed
eral or state legislation, with the man
ipulatiOn of the inflated property,

Washington Daniel Webster was, of
course, among the audience. He had
come in rather late from champagne
party and after each song of Jenny
LiId's applauded most vOciferously-
Finally, rising to the pinnacle of en-

hall and made one of his most gallant
bows to the great singer. Then, catch
ing sight of the lady whose voice he
also admired, he turned to her, away
from Jenny Lind, and made Il still low
er bow amid the laughter and applause
Of the audience.
