than in this century Though his
trip to the west. like that Of most
people I'm those days was to seek a
fortune and return home. he never
went east again. Friends and rela-
tiyes lived their lives out and passed
to the great beyond and the western
environment eventually absorbed his
thoughts completely until he ceased
communication entirely with the old
New England home. From his arrival
in California to the breaking out OF
the war between the states he was en-
gagged mainly in mining in the central
part of the state. or those districts

source Of supplies. There are yet in
the territory some survivors Of the
California gold days who are well ac-
quainted with this period of Mr.. Now

In 1861 when the first call for volun-
teers was made in California Mr..
Nowry responded together with many
whose names nov. stand honorably in
the history Of Arizona Among those
best known in these parts at present
are Captain CalIerwcol. who is
still a citizen Of Phoenix and the late
Captain W. \. Hancock. later a bust

Others Of the old regiment in the ter

away Mr. MOwry enlisted in Company
X of the First regiment under Cap
tain Shepard. The first few regi-
ments were ordered to Arizona, across
it TO Messilla. y. NJ. to form a juno
ton with the troops from the east and
other regiments followed later one or
two at a time. They marched to Tue
son where the American flag was
raised over the old pueblo and a de-
tachment remained while the rest pro-
ceeded on to New Mexico. The first
regiment was relieved about year
later at Fort Mcdowell or thereabout
by the Fourteenth infantry regiment
from the east and the First California
was ordered back To san Francisco to
be mustered out. Most Of its service
had been against the Apache Indians
in Arizona though there was some
mixing Of issues with the confeder-
ates i'm New Mexico.
After his discharge Mr.. Mowry

GEORGE {. M0NRY IN
SLUMBER OF DEATH
Passing of One Of Arizona's Oldest and
Most Respected Citizens After a
Lo1r illness.


George F. Mowry died yesterday af-
tern00n about o'clock At his home on
South Center street. after a long i'll
ness. death being due to the debilities
Of old age The funeral will be held
this afternoon al 3 o'clock in the par
lors OF Easterling & Whitney on West
Washington street.
The passing Of Mr.. Mowry is an in
cident which makes timely as
lengthy an article as one might choose
to engage upon. dealing with historical
facts Of the frontier. for he has been
a froatiersman almost since the first
discovery OF gold in California. He
was well known in California in the
Sos and since the latter COS he has
neve~ passed beyond the boundaries OF
Arizona. In the early days OF this tor
rito.y it is likely no man in it was
moro widely known than Mr. Mowry.
From the first settlement Of Phoenix
he was the actua! postmaster until
few years ago. though q part Of the
time he served as assistant, officially.
OF his private life and career there is
not great deal to say except that he
was q part of the city Of Phoenix from
its beginning TO the present time. He
was never married and always lived
alone. both his official duties and his
personal tastes restraining him from
familiarity with a wide social circle.
though he was personally known and
respected by nearly everybody He
leaves therefore no immediate family
and no important estate, so that men
ton OF his life and career is historical
rather than biographical.
George Edwin Mowry was born in
Stafford. Connecticut in 1892. His
father married twice and raised two
families of children. some ten or
twelve in all. George being a member
of the older family and probably the
only enc living. In 1852, when he was
but twenty years old he was attracted
to California by the gold excitement,
going via the isthmus of Panama
which was a somewhat perilous trip
in those days owing to meager con-
veniences and climatic conditions in
the tropics against which there was
less practical and scientific protection

THREW 1T OUT THE WINDOW.

Just when 1t occurred, or whether 1t
occurred at all cannot be stated with
certainty because there has been no
opportunity for veriication; but they
are telling a story about Capt. John
Barxtell Of the Southern, that many
of his friends will recognize as char
acteristic.
1t was on the train, Of course. Cap
tain Barxtell is seldom seen any
where else. He went into a second
class coach to punch tickets, and his
eye happened to fall on a revolver in
the hands of a negro passenger.
without a moments hesitation the
captain laid his left hand on the ne
gro's shoulder. and commanded:
Throw that thing out the window"
The negro looked as If he was un-
able to comprehend the order; but
after a moments hesitation replied
with more or less impudence:
Huh. dis pistol cost money!"
Captain Johns right hand went
slowly and deliberately down in his
hip pocket. and when 1t came back it
was with his own revolver which he
pointed at the negro's head with the
quiet remark:
That's how I got this one. Throw
yours out the window"
There was not another word Of re-
monstrance. The negro stuck his hand
out Of the window and let the pistol
drop to the groud. Capt. Barxtell
quietly returned his own weapon to
his pocket, and resumed his work of
punching tickets.

Valuation With Reference to Indus
trial Plants"
In his address, President Maccoll
said:
Il am glad to congratulate you up
on the continued activity and pros
perity of our industry. This condition
seems to be world wide. There Is
adequate consumption or at least de-
mand to employ every spindle and
loom. A year ago we recorded Eng
lands increase Of 6,250,000 spindles.
The latest reports show 1O,OOO,O00
spindles added or projected within
five years, which equals the growth OF
the previous thirty years. In our own
country there has been normal addi-
ton of spindles: imports of cotton
manufacturers have increased during
1906 as compared with 1905, $14,5OO.-
900, or 26 per cent; exports have d.
minished $13,500,000, or "a per cent;
vet there is no evidence Of over-sup-
ply or glutted markets. Extension OF
foreign trade Is for the moment ignor-
ed. on account Of the home demand
absorbing all the output.
Everything that enters into the
cost Of production is getting on to an
excessively high level. 1t Is hardly
to be expected that the present tariff
can prevent large importations Of for
eign goods unless we can maintain our
lead in the use Of labor saving meth
DDS and devices. But the fact Is that
our foreign competitors are keenly
alive to the situation and are rapidly
adopting American Improvements, and
there are already many mills abroad
that are fully equipped with every
American device. AS soon, therefore,
as there is a reaction abroad, we may
expect a reaction here"

your associates are not demanding a
fair trial, or working for a fair trial.
but are announcing in advance that
the verdict shall only be one way, and
that you will not tolerate any other
verdict. Such action is fragrant in its
Improperly, and join heartily in con-
demning it. But 1t is a simple alb
surdity to suppose that because any
man is on trial for given ofense he
is, therefore, to be freed from all crit
icisms upon his general conduct and
manner Of life. In my letter to which
you object I referred to certain
prominent financier, Mr.. Hartman on
the one hand and to Messrs. Meyer
Haywood and Debs on the other, as
being equally undesirable citizens. 1t
is as foolish to assert that this was de-
signed to influence the trial of Meyer
and Haywood as to assert that 1t was
designed to influence the suits that
have been brought against Mr.. Harri-
man. 'I neither expressed nor indi-
Gated any opinion as to whether
Messrs. Meyer and Haywood were
guilty of the murder Of Governor
Steunenberg. If they are guilty, they
certainly ought to be punished. If
they are not guilty, they certainly
ought not to be punished"

DR.. T. w. CAMPBELL.

DR.. Thomas w. Campbell died at
his home in Bethel township last
Wednesday morning at about o'clock,
after a long and tedious illness, and
in the seventy eighth year OF his age.
DR.. Campbell was a native Of Beth
ell township. and spent practically all
of his life within a few miles Of where
he was born, devoting himself to the
practice of his profession, farming
and all the duties Of an unusually
high standard Of citizenship.
Although "only a country doctor"
in medical rank, DR.. Campbell had
an unusually large store OF good,
hard sense, did lot Of studying along
with more or less original investiga-
ton and was recognized by his broth
er physicians everywhere as being
easily the peer of them all. HIS opin-
ions on medical matters were always
received with the utmost respect both
by the laity and by the profession.
Along with his professional work,
DR.. Campbell found time to devote
great deal Of attention to farming. He
was a pioneer in the use Of improv-
ed agricultural machinery, and was
always we'll abreast Of the times In
advanced methods, opening the path
and leading the way for his neighbors.
And he was not a mere experimenter,
His operations were generally profita-
BILE.
But after all has been said about
the doctor as a physician and far
mer that can be said, it is probably as
a man that he Is entitled to the great
est distinction. Throughout his life,
he bore reputation for answering
integrity. He was kind and sympa-
thetic by nature. and he never lost an
opportunity to help his fellowman,
individually or collectively. There
are hundreds of individuals throughout
his neighborhood, who testify to nu-
merous kindnesses at his hands, and
who have for years esteemed him their
particular friend. Although his stand
ards had all along been we'll within
the sanction of all the fundamental
principles Of Christianity, he did not
become member of the church until
about four or five years ago, when
he connected himself with Bethel
chapel.
DR.. Campbell was married shortly
after the war to Miss Eliza Stanton,
who died in June. 1902. The surviv-
ing children are: Mrs. H. Q. Alexan-
der of Providence, N. c., DR.. L. l..
Campbell, Mrs. 1. H. Campbell. Misses
Matte and Salle Campbell and Mr..
w. G. Campbell.

TILLMAN In PITTsBuRG.-As a pre-
cautionary measure twenty-five detec-
tives and a squad of uniformed police
men were stationed at Carnegie Music
hall tonight during the address Of Sem
ator Benz. Tillman Of South Carolina,
who discussed the race problem before
the Park Avenue allegheny Athlet-
ic club. Several exciting incidents oc-
Cured during the address but no trou-
BILE resulted. There were but ten ne
groes in the audience which filled the
music hall to overflowing.
At the close Of his address in which
he declared the races in the south
were gradually becoming more OPP
posed to one another Senator Tillman
called for vote Of the audience as to
whether the negro was the equal Of
the white man. The entire audience,
except the ten negroes voted in the
negative by rising.
One man took exception to Tillman's
remarks and made several Interrupt
tions. Tillman had him admit he came
from Europe and he bitterly de-
nounced Europeans in America who
undertake to judge questions concern
ing this country. In speaking Of
whether the negro can be educated
Senator Tillman declared that Booker
T. Washington was the harbor Of ref
uge and safety to which people flee
when other places fail, and that Book
er T. Washington was but one negro
in 100000 and was half white at
that-Pittsburg, April "a.

SWEPT BY CYCLONE.

Quite a vicious cyclone swept across
a part Of the eastern side Of the coun-
ty last Tuesday afternoon, beginning
at a point about five miles south Of
Yorkville and continuing in north
easterly direction to Catawba river.
The first point at which damage was
reported was on the plantation Of Mr..
C. C. Hughes. Here a saw mill shed
and smoke stack were demolished.
Further on several trees were blown
down and barns and outhouses were
demolished on the premises Of Messrs.
w. ]. and w. W. Miller at Newport.
At Mr.. ]. H. Barry's q little further
on, barn and gin house were de-
stroyed and one mule was killed and
another was injured. Mr.. Charlie
Steele's house and barn were carried
away and lots of damage was done
to the fruit trees all along the route.
The path of the cyclone, or the
worst part of it, was about one hun
dred yards wide, and in the vicinity Of
Newport and beyond, trees fifteen
inches in diameter were broken Off
from IL to Is feet above the ground
as. If they were match sticks.
One of the most peculiar and re-
markable occurrences reported in con-
nection with the storm is to the effect
that a house on Mr.. w. ]. Miller's
place was blown from over a negro
and his family Of five without anybody
being hurt. The negro was engaged
in shelling corn and his children were
gathered about. On telling about the
matter afterward, he claimed that he
was unconscious of danger until he
heard a sudden roaring noise, and up
on looking up his house was gone from
left but himself and family. Pieces
of the house were scattered for from a
quarter to half a mile along the track
of the storm and up to yesterday some
of them had not yet been recovered.
So far as has been reported nobody
was seriously hurt, although there
were a number of narrow escapes.
Mr.. D. E. Boney Of the Farmers
Mutual Insurance company went over
the stricken neighborhood yesterday
to adjust the losses Of his company by
the storm, and agreed upon allow
ances as follows: w. J. Miller, $3.50;
w. w. Miller, $3.50; ]. H. Barry, $500;
s. s. Faris, (Steele house) $55; c. M.

alton, also represented by Mr.. Boney

WITHIN THE TOWN.

A horse belonging to Messrs. Car
roll Bros. ran awav on East Liberty
street yesterday, 'reaking up the
wagon to which it was hitched and
cutting itself more or less seriously.
Nobody was hurt
A negro named Julius Gray had
his arm broken and was otherwise
badly bruised in a peculiar manner at
the Yorkville Monument works We'd
nesday. Most Of the machinery is
operated by pneumatic power produced
by electricity, and when the air reser-
voir has become filled to a given pres
sure, it is customary to turn the over
flow into a barrel Of water. Gray
undertook to direct this overflow; but
did it too suddenly. Through force OF
the air pressure the bottom Of the bar
rel was knocked out and the barrel
shot upward, causing the injuries
mentioned.

DOING HIS DUTY.
Attorney General Will Enforce Respect
For Law.


For Law.
When Attorney General j. Fraser
Lyon searches the records Of his office
for the past fourteen years, he will find
no precedent for his insistence upon
the prosecution Of a whisky dispenser
accused Of breach of trust. During all
that time it has been the practice Of
the state Of South Carolina to wink at
embezzlements by state liquor sellers,
and to overlook their crimes as long
as the state was not the loser In mon
ey. There was no greater offence OF
the state dispensary regime than this
condonement of thefts, this compound
ing Of felonies, the guilt Of which 1t
fastened upon the state itself.
How many Of the grafters, think
YOU, will cast their votes for j. Fraser
Lyon?" That was the slogan Of the
last campaign which placed Mr.. Lyon
in office in spite of the 'impassioned
protest Of the most influential politi-
clans in the state, who had no sympa-
thy or toleration for this young mans
appeal to the honesty of the state to
martial itself against growing corrup-
ion. Were Mr.. Lyon to stand idle now
with his hands in his pockets, while
defalcations were being settled with
the serenity of the payment Of a note
in bank, he would attach to himself
large following Of unfortunate" OFF,
cials and their kindred, and perhaps
corral the whole CRATER vote in an
other primary; but he would disap-
point the splendid majority which
elected him in 1906. This election was
an awakening and a return Of the peo-
pie to old-fashioned notions about the
integrity OF public officials, and 1t is
we'll for the people that the attorney
general fully comprehends the respon-
sibility that is upon him.
It is, Of course, an empty and false
suggestion that prosecution Of a dis
penser accused of defaulting, whose
friends offer to settle his apparent
shortage, is a cruel or harsh proceed
ing. On the other hand, the omission
to prosecute under this, the first case
since the Carey Cothran act has been
in effect, would be to encourage de-
falcations in other county dispensa-
ries. When the holders Of these posi-
tions come to understand that breach
of their trusts will invariably be fol-
lowed by prompt and relentless pros
ecutions, and convictions when guilt
is proved, the breaches will become
correspondingly uncommon. Scat
tered through South Carolina are a
company Of some two hundred men,
most of them heads Of families, whose
good names have been blasted by rea-
son of populations while they were
in the employ Of the state dispensary
and most of them would have been
saved from such fate had not the
state of South Carolina in 1898 and
1894 deliberately adopted the policy
Of condoning embezzlement, In order
to save money and save prosecutors
from performing unpleasant duties.
The present attorney general will do
his part in preventing the recruiting
of this company, even if he must put
an occasional defaulter of highly res
pectable connections, in stripes.-News
and Courier.
