POSIOFfICF RULING '.'s :
 PROHIBITS PUBLICITY
Winning Numbers in Events of
 Chance Cannot be Published.

Close readers are aware that during the last year or so. the postoffice de- partment has been waging a merciless warfare on everyi form of raffle, lot tery, guessing contest, ticket distribu- tion or other game of chance that car ries with it the possibility of the play CT securing anything of value. The expressed purpose of the department is to break up if possible, the practice of merchants, manufacturers or other busness men, using these devices in the furtherance of trade on the ground that it is catering to an immoral end, the stimulating of the natural desire for gambling.
 The campaign of the department grew out of the numerous get-rich- quick schemes advertised in the east and which utilized the mails for the conduct of their business which ran all the way from hazardous investments to race track gambling schemes. It was found impossible to draw a line between this or that scheme and tell which was and which was not legiti- mate or which ones offered a possible fair return on the investment. The habit of conducting business that way had become so universal that one could
 
 odical that did not have some kind of a chance coupon attached to it as an inducement to new business. In order to make no favorites and start an in- fluence for the Encouragement of that plan of doing business. the department ruled that no publication should be given the privileges of the United States mails, if it's columns carried either the advertisement or the an- nouncement of the result of any contest where there was the slightest chance involved and on which the guesser or player had contributed single cent as entrance money or for a chance to guess. It seemed to the department to be the only way to break up the prac- tice, even though it prevented many projects that were harmless and inno- cent. To show just how thorough and general this ruling has been made it is mentioned that the regulations state explicitly that the rules run against all guessing or other contests designed to raise money. even for churches or charitable institutions. In fact it runs against any contest except a game ot skill like a race, a football game or some competition where the result is that of hard labor that wins success , and not the result of pure chance or the advancing of money as a basis ol the competition.
 The Republican has often referred to this matter in the last year or two and the observing will not that no an nouncements of this sort appear in it. columns, whereas before, half the ad. vertisements carried some sort of { chance feature. The present situation is not the result of any prudish stand of morality taken by the paper bu only strict compliance with the law for the paper cannot afford to be de nied the use of the mails.
 Some merchants unaware of the re l strictions which have been placed upoI newspapers in this matter have sough to have winning numbers published b. the newspapers, but under the rulin; . of the department that is as impossibl 5 as an advertisement of the drawing.

GRAsPED BY WINTER.
Unprecedented Shows in the Extreme
 North.

St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 3.-A heavy snow storm prevailed here today, and tonight continues with unabated force. Drifts three feet in depth have blocked some of the street car lines, and on others traffic is maintained with great difficulty. The temperature, however, is comparatively mild.
 Specials from points in Minnesota and Wisconsin say that the storm IS the most severe in five years. At Red wing. Minn, a snow fall of eighteen inches is reported and the blockade IS becoming general.
 Menominee, Wisconsin, reports snow two feet deep. At Cumberland, Wis, a terrific blizzard is raging and rail- roads and wagon roads are reported blocked. Reports from North Dakota say that on both the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads, several trains are blockaded.

FATAL EMBASSIES.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir I read with interest your editorial, "A Wedding Gift" in your issue of Dec. 2S. There is one statement in it which, in the interests of accuracy, I believe should be corrected. It reads as follows, "The vatican is usually rep resented at important functions at the courts of Catholic countries, though 1t 1t not represented at the courts of Protestant countries"
 I do not think it is a fact that the vatican is not represented at the courts of Protestant countries at important functions. Indeed, think it is unus. ual when it is not so represented. In stances in point are, the vatican rep resentative at the jubilee of Queen Victoria, at the crowning of King Ed ward, at the marriage of Queen Will helmina of Holland, at the marriage of the crown prince of Germany and at the coronation of the present czar. Each of these courts is Catholic, and I think you will find upon inves- tigation, that the vatican is represent tions.
 The mistake In your editorial does not affect anything in particular, but, in the interests of accuracy, I thought it well to call your attention to it.
 Yours very truly.

ROSS SMlTH-A pretty wedding took place yesterday evening on Grand avenue, the participant being Georgie M. Ross and D. Stewart Smith. The bridal party were ushered in to the strains of Mcndelssohn's wedding march, executed by Mrs. E. c. Bard of this city. Little Helen Brown, daughter of MT. and Mrs. w. H. Brown, daintily dressed in white silk, preceded the couple bearing the ring on a silver tray. The holy vows were exchanged beneath a bower of green, Rev H. M. Campbell officiating. The bride was becomingly gowned in tan albatroSs, made entraine and trimmed with cream silk lace. Mrs. Smith was formerly a California girl, having come to Phoenix a little over a year ago. MT. Smith is well and favor ably known in Phoenix. He came here from New York two years ago where he was connected with the Home In- surance company. After congratula- tions to the happy pair, dainty refresh ments were served to about twenty five guests. Many beautiful presents were received. MT and Mrs. Smith will reside in Tempe.

THE GHOST OF CACTUS FLAT.

On the map of Arizona
 There is a mining camp, A little place called Weaver,
 Close to the Hassayamp, Where the silence now is broken
 By the sound of the Octave mill, Where Mexicans dig for placer,
 In the shadow of Rich Hill. In the camp called Weaver,
 One chilling winters eve, heard this little story
 That I could not believe, Told by Mickey Dolan,
 As by the fire we sat, About a desert phantom,
 Or the ghost of Cactus Flat. He said that many years ago
 One night he made his camp By the shimmering waters Of the dear old Hassayamp. The silvery moon had risen Der the eastern mountains crest, When by the smouldering campfire He had lain him down to rest. The willows by the river Were waving in the breeze, And the laughing water Sang its sweetest melodies. The calm Of peaceful slumber Began OCT him to creep. He was fast approaching 1 The border land of sleep. i When on the midnight stiffness, 1 With suddenness there came A voice from out the darkness
 That called aloud his name, And before his startled vision | Came an awful sight, There a skeleton was standing
 In the pale moonlight. Its fleshless jaws were moving . As though it fain would speak; One ghastly hand was pointing Toward the Vulture peak. The old man gazed in terror At the specter mute and dumb, Until in a husky whisper The horrid thing said "come." It turned and glided from him | With a majestic ease, Up a rock canyon In the shadow of the trees. Then, with a sudden impulse,
 He got up from the bed, Determined then to follow | Where his ghostship led. Deep into a gloomy cave, The walls were damp and cold, And in one corner of the place He saw pile of gold A heap of yellow nuggets, As large as cobblestones- But nearby lay the skeleton
 A crumbling mass off bones. He did not take the treasure, | But in haste he went away. Intending 10 go back again
 By the light of day. 1 The next thing he remembers
 The sun shone on the land, | The sparkling waves were dancing Der the golden sand. But his midnight visitor
 Had left no trace behind, Although he has sought for mar ! years, The cave he can not find. When Mikey tells this story,
 His old eyes softly gleam, But he won't say twas fancy,

A doctor was soon secured and the injured man cared for. A dirk was the instrument used and the man welding it shortly after he had m flicted the wounds disappeared. The outgoing M & P. train was overhaul ed to see that he could not get out of the city and when not discovered there a watch around his place of sleeping was placed. He was shortly after this taken into custody by Con- stable Troops. The man stabbed had been struck twice in the back one wound being about three Inches deep and the second about four inches. The cause of the quarrel could not be learn ed the Chinamen who were present explaining that the men did not be- long to the same clan and had for sev- eral months been at war. A hearing of the man in jail will be held this morning before Justice Johnstone.

is now being experienced. One prom
inent official when told that the peo-
ple's rights were affected made slglht-

Had this request been granted it
would have served very materially 10
have alleviated the present situation.
No concession was granted, however
and one firm, the d. j. Sharp Coal Co.,
who had the courage to ask a storage
rate of so cents per ton, was refused
further supply of coal, and was forced
to discontinue business. A railroad
commission would have investigated
and regulated such matters, and would
perhaps, have saved the officials of the
railroad and coal companies from the
recent indictments by the Federal
grand jury.
