Des Moines, May 23.-The following
telegram was sent by the Presbyterian
general assembly, in session here. to
the Cumberland Presbyterian assembly,
in session In Decatur, today:
Presbyterian general assembly In;
session at Des Moines sends sincere
greetings. Read First Corinthians.
first chapter, tenth verse"
The passage referred to Is as fol-
lows:
Now, beseech you, brethren, thru
the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
that We all speak the same thing and
that there be no divisions among you.
but that We be perfected together in the
same mind and in the same judgn1ent.,'s =
This reply was received from De-
catur:
With prayerfui good will and BROTH
erly love, we acknowledge gratefully
your greetings. Read First Thessa-
lonians, second chapter, sixteenth and
seventeenth verses"
The scripture referred to follows:
Forbid US to speak to Gentiles, that
they may be saved to fill up their sins
always, but wrath has come upon them
to the uttermost, but we, brethren, being
bereaved OF you for a short season in
presence, not in heart, endeavor more
exceedingly to see your face with great
desire" s.
This exchange of sentiments is taken
here to indicate that before adtourn-
ment Of the assemblies a union bee
tween the two churches will have been
effected.
The assembly today adopted the fol-ss
lowing -polygamy resolution:
"The assembly records it's gratiflca-
ton and satisfaction in the proposed
submission to the legislatures Of sew
eral states a new article, to be known
as Article 16 Of the Constitution of the
United States. prohibiting polygamy
and polygamous collabitation in the
United States, and 1t reiterates its for
mer COUNSEL to all members of the
church to exert their influence in their
several localities to secure ratification
Of such an amendment, if said joint
resolution proposing said amendment
be adopted by congress"
It was ordered that copies OF the res
olution be sent to the president Of the
United States and presiding officers OF
both houses OF congress.
In striking contrast to this was the
action of the assembly in turning down
resolution, offered yesterday memoir
ializing congress against appropria-
tions Of public money for sc:tarian
purposes. J. D. Moffatt, chairman Ct
the committee on bills and overtures,
explained :he precedent WAS for the
assembly to keep hands off quesdoEs
of civil legislation. The rel2sst o. tho
committee that negative action be TAXI
en- was upheld by small majority
The assembly received and indorsed
the recommendations Of the board Of
foreign missions which included the
following: That the board send .
secretary to South America.
That the appropriations for 1907 BE-
| Increased.
That Christmas and Easter collec-
| tions in all churches each year go to-
foreign missions.
Recommendatiogs calling for more
liberal treatment Of Chinese in Ameri-.
can was adopted
The colered commissioners to the as-
| sembly today put forth the claim that

The Independents demonstrated
the fact that it had gone back to its
old habit when it lost to the Shannon
team last night by a margin of so
pins. 1t was an excellent showing,
judging from the immense scores
made by each player and the large
totals. ~ 1t is seldom that one side
does not fall down in match game,
but the feature of this match was
that both sides fell together and it
was just question as to which would
win until the last frame had been
finished. Owing to the good nature
in which the players took their mis-
fortunes the evening was a pleasant
one and all had a good time. 1t was
intimated by the Independents that
the reason they did not care to make
a showing was because Editor Dun
seath was down sizing up the Era
team for the next match with the
Leader team for the near future.

Miners Association to Meet in Bisbee.

The first regular convention of the
Arizona Miners Association will meet
in Bisbee on Monday, the 9th day of
April.
The secretary of the Association,
Mr.. C. H. Akers, of Phoenix, writing
to a mining man in that district,
says:
'The date of the Miners Conven-
ton at Bisbee is the 9th day of April.
AS matters now stand it looks as
though there will be tremendous
attendance from all over this part OF
the country. A great many here in
this part of the country are talking
about going, and they are urging
everyone to go who could possibly do
so. The executive member in
Yavapai county says there will be a
big attendance from up in that part
of the country. Generally speaking,
1 believe we can make it one of the
greatest conventions ever held in
Arizona. 1 assure you I am going to
do everything in my power to boost
it and make it a gigantic prosposi,
ton. The membership list of the
Miners Association is growing very
fast, and 1 feel confident that in

SOME of the Arizona newspapers
seem to be of the impression that
the New Mexico board of equaliza-
ton raised the value of railroads
quite materially. The ERA does not
think the raise amounts to anything
on the main lines, though the short
lines were all raised slightly. The
main line of the Santa Fe from
Albuquerque north was raised $1,000
per mile, but reduced from Albuquer-
que south to the same extent. There
are many more miles of the Santa Fe
south of Albuquerque than north of
it, hence the tax on the road will be
lowered instead of raised. All rail-
roads in New Mexico are assessed
slightly higher than in Arizona, but
the New Mexico board of equalization
does not seem anxious to put even a
fair valuation upon the railroads.

The base ball boys went out for
warm-up last Sunday afternoon and
it is said that they are still on to
their old habit of swatting the ball.
Almost the same team was present,
which composed the team at the close
of last season. This was the first per-
Torrance on the grounds since the
flood and it is said that they are in
very poor condition. Three-fourths
of the park fence was washed away
and about three feet of sand deposited
on the entire ground. The grand
stand is in good shape and
needs no repairs to speak of.
Considering the start that it will be
possible to make, the prospects are
good for one of the fastest teams in
the southwest this season. Clifton
has always afforded good ball team
and as this is one of the leading
amusements of the summer months
the sport should be kept up and the
boys furnished what little encourage
ment they deserve on their merits.
If people realized what pleasure it is
for the boys to work in the sand and
heat for the amusement of the pub
lie for no compensation whatever,
they would be more liberal in their
support.

dIl TOuIo Respectfully
JAMES COLQUHOUN.

The Herald's apology this week for
it's criticisms of a week ago on the
lunch served by bevy of brides at a
bowling contest between the Morenci
Leader team and the Copper Era
team, is somewhat peculiar, yet it is
doubtless well meant, and should be
taken in the spirit in which it is in
tended. 1t would seem that the
Major is attempting to introduce a
new brand of humor which is little
too deep for the average reader.
The Major should furnish a diagram
with his jokes. 1t may be, as the
Major states, that he was imposed on
by "man from Morenci," but as the
contest occurred in Clifton and tho
lunch was served here, it would
appear that he could have gotten a
correct report at home, instead of
going to Morenci for a story so
grossly untrue as to call for an
apology. However, the Major says
he has wept sincere tears of sorrow
over his mistake, has humbly begged
pardon from the ladies, and doubtless
sat up nights writing his apology,
therefore the ERA hopes that the I'M
fortunate incident may be considered
closed,

THE accusation made by the adj
ministration leaders against Repre-
sentative Murphy of the 10th dis
trict of Missouri, that he is a bolter
because he refused to do the speak
er's bidding and vote for the HamiI-
ton statehood bill, is stoutly resented
by that gentleman. Mr.. Murphy is
quoted as having said: ''They have
tried to make partisan question out
of this statehood matter, but parti-
sanship will not deter me from vot-
ing my sentiments and what I be-
lieve to be the wishes of my district
in matters that are clearly not
political. So long as 1 stay here 1
shall be the keeper of my own vote
and shall cast it for my district, but
L shall never cast it in the interest
of any boss, nor for the advantage
of any machine, nor can be coerced
into being misrepresentation. 1
may not be renominated, may not
be reelected, but so long as 1 stay
here L propose to oppose bossism,
coercion and machine rule"

HOBBS and RANGERS Fight With Serious
Results at Naco.

In order to save the life of Ranger
Kidder, at Naco one day last week,
Deputy Sheriff Sparks drew his re-
volver and shot a hobo who was at
tempting to make an assault with
dagger. A free-for-al fight had
taken place, brought on by about tit-
teen tramps who were drinking and
raising a disturbance just west OF
town on the railroad track. Officers
Kidder and Sparks were called to
settle the trouble when the hobos as
saulted them. Both officers were
knocked down and badly, but not
seriously injured. AS Ranger Kldder
arose one of the tramps drew a dag
ger and attempted to assault him,
when Deputy Sparks drew his re-
yolver and fired, the bullet taking
effect in the assailant's hip.
All the rioters were arrested and
landed in Jail. A warrant was sworn
out charging the one who made the
knife play with assault with intent to
kill and others on a charge of dis
turbing the peace. The man who
was shot will be sent to the county
hospital at Tombstone, where he will
remain under arrest.

A SPECIAL dispatch from Washing
ton to the Phoenix Enterprise states
that Hamilton, of the committee on
territories, has introduceda bill which
provides that after next January, all
property of every kind and character
on railroads, etc, used in Arizona,
shall be taxed in accordance with the
laws governing taxation of property
in the territory, and all laws of con-
gress exempting any such property
in any manner from taxation for any
length of time, or fixing the rate of
taxation, are repealed upon the
passage of the act. This would make
all exempt railroads pay taxes. The
bill also provides that the railways
be subjected to changed system of
taxation after January 1, 1907.

THE U. S. senate seems to be some
what tardy in confirming the ap-
pointment of Ben Daniels as U. S.
marshal for the territory of Arizona,
which has given eastern newspapers
an opportunity to poke fun at the
president for the appointment.
While it is true that in early life
Mr.. Daniels record was not perfect,
it is also fact that in later years he
showed that he could be true and
loyal citizen under the most trying
circumstances. President Roosevelt
is himself a fine judge of human ma
ture, and when a man has proven
himself to be man, he believes in
giving him a show. The people of
Arizona are well satisfied with the
appointment of Mr.. Daniels.

In a reference to the appointment

marshal could be appointed, for he
knows the country and could run
down a gang of outlaws, if any
should be imported from Indiana,
quicker than all the sheriffs of Ari-
IONA combined" This may all be
true, hut the ERA did not know that
Mr.. Daniels had a reputation as
peace officer. Arizona has many good
and brave sher1ffs, and also large
number of deputies, who have in the
past run down and captured many
bands of outlaws, but perhaps they
had not been imported from In
diana. In the future, should they
run across band of Hoosier outlaws,
it might be well for them to stop on
