Should Pay the Legal Penalty.

The man who kills his fellow in de- fiance of the laws of the land and sets up that it was honorable slaughter be- cause of the iniquity of the offense by the slain has but one manly, candid and truthful course open to him. He may go into court and plead guilty, inviting the consequences. He may then beg for the governors clemency, but he must not complain if it is re- fused, for the governor would not nec- essarily be unfaithful if he refused it.. Who takes the law into his own hands should be prepared to pay the price which the laws of the land exact.- Lowell Journal.

Plenty of Fun.

The production of "A Race for A Widow" comes to Kingman Monday evening, April lst. This play is said to be capital one having met with success in this country as we'll as in most of the European countries. From all reports it seems to have the in- gradients necessary to success. Plenty of fun, dash of society, a bit of love, a hint of pathos, lots of movement and some good specialties, and presented by an excellent company of players se- lected because each was especially adapted to his or her particular char acter.

Saloon leRiSIation.

Monday the "high" license goes in. to effect, instead of July first. Liquor dealers will have to take out yearly license under this law, payment being made in advance. Those that have paid their license to July first will have to mako payment of the new li- cense and apply to the board of super visors for refund of the unexpired portion of the old license, No busi- ness can be done after the first of the month on the old license, as the new law changes entirely the method of collecting licenses and gives the holder of license under the old law no more right to carry on business than if they never were in the business.
 The saloon "Nightengale" will be heard no more after the night of April fifth, the law closing the saloons to them going into effect that day. The saloon keepers are made responsible for violations of the law, instead of the women, as under the present law. The law also makes it misdemeanor for a minor to visit or enter places where liquors are sold under any condition. Under the present law minors can en- ter saloons when accompanied by par ents or guardians. The change is a good one.
 Tomorrow night gambling becomes a thing of the past, so far as it apper- tains to percentage and banking games, although it is understood that poker, dice and other games that do not come under the banking and percentage cat agory can be run at will.

Judge w. G. Blakely returned from Phenix last Saturday evening, having completed his labors as a senator from this county. Judge Blakely believes that the last legislature was composed of one of the most conscientious bodies of men that were ever called together to legislate for the people of Arizona, and in this we believe he was quite right. While some men have gone to the legislature with mercenary mot ives as whole we believe the men composing the last legislative body was made up of brainy men of integri- ty

A Costly Glass.

Prof, Percival Lowell arrived this morning from Boston. MT. Lowell is the owner of the observatory at this place which bears his name. He brought back with him the telescopic glass which was sent from here to Paris, France, where it was made, some months ago to be reground. The glass, although small, is said to have cost 6O.0OO$. We are informed that the professor will remain here for the next four months to take obser- vations on Mars.-Flagstaff Gem.
 While attempting to board moving freight train last Thursday, a mile west of the Indian school, man named Michael Mcguire 5 fell beneath the wheels of the cars and had his right leg mashed to pulp and was other- wise injured. He was taken to the Indian school, where Dr. Hilton did what he could for the poor fellow. The injured man was placed on the first train for Kingman but died near Blackberry. The train men report that he retained consciousness until the last, dying without struggle. Be- fore death he told the trainmen that he was wanderer and that he had sister living in East Boston. An in- quest was held on the remains and a verdict in accordance with the above facts returned.

Among the congressional appropri- ations for Indian schools in Arizona are items of 45,OOO$ for Fort Mohave and 23,470$ for the Truxton Canyon Indian schools. Fort Mohave school contains 200 pupils of the Mohave tribe, and the Truxton Canyon school &C., commodates 15O Wallapais. These schools are uptodate and are of con- siderable benefit to the red children. But in the main the money expended in the education of the Indians in the west is thrown away. The small In- dian is caught up on the range and brought to the school to be tanned and taught the rudiments of English. Here buck and squaw are kept until they have had the smattering of an English education impressed on them and then they are sent back to their dirty, filthy brethren, where they take up their life in the novels from which they were taken years before. If this is the correct method of educating the poor Indian, then the government has it down pat, but in our humble opinion it but makes of them tutored savages in- stead of untutored ones.

John Sullivan, accompanied by Rob- ert Grey, came up from Phenix last evening. Mir. Grey has not yet recov- cred from the result of the loss of his eyesight and it is problematical that he will ever regain his vision. The story of the manner in which he met his terrible loss is as follows: Mir. Grey, with his partner were on their way to their mines, near Wickenburg, and the wagon being heavily loaded they got stalled on hill and were CO., ing what they could to get the team to pull the wagon out. The two men got out on opposite sides of the wagon and the driver took the blacksnake whip by the lash and was beating the horses with the but end when the iron plug in the end of the whip was forced out and struck MT. Gray across the eye, inficting painful wound and destroy ing the sight of his left eye. As he had lost the sight in the other eye some years ago he was made totally blind by the accident. His many friends all over the county will regret his sad plight, and today sympathetic friends are expressing to him their sympathy and good will.
