Among the visitors to the legisla- tive chambers yesterday was Hon. Thomas Hughes, of Tucson. formerly territorial auditor under Governors Wolfley, Irwin, Murphy and Hughes, r says the Arizona Republican of Phoe- nix. MT. Hughes has not been In the city for several years. He is pres ident of the Arizona Historical Pio- neer society and his business here was to remind the legislators that this so- ciety has been having a place in the appropriation bill for several years. He hoped that 1t would not be oyer looked this time in the making up of the budget.
 The legislature used to allow the society 5000 a year. but the twenty third legislature cut the amount down to $750s After that a question was raised as to the validity of the appro- priation and in order to test it the society sued out a writ Of mandamus against the territorial auditor. Thus the matter was brought direct before the supreme court which decided in favor of the society and also establish ed the validity of such appropriations, 0O AAett Q1tSIACh VIII HUI udNC lO bC cided by the present legislature.

 After the manner of the lamented legal luminary of the Pecos, Judge Roy Bean, it is not improbable that a sign something like the foregoing will be hung up in the courtroom of Judge Morris Butner, dispenser of justice in the precinct of Pirtleville, for yester- day, in beautiful accord with some of the finest traditions of the Flaw west of the Pecos," Judge Butner laid aside judicial dignity and gave a Mexican sound thrashing, after which he tied him to a post and proceeded with the business of his court. rs.,

 A Dr, Evans brain explosion then occurred. Judicial composure gone to the four winds, his honor left the bench, walked directly towards the Mexican, and after moistening his hands in the. manner customary in such preliminaries, he turned loose his right and swatted the bravo. ' The Mexican tried to defend himself from the judicial onslaught and for several minutes the combat waged about the courtroom. Chairs were oy- erturned and benches were disar- ranged. Such words as "gringo' and "greaser" were mild in comparison to others that filled the courtroom. Ff nally the furious pace slackened, and 1t was seen that the Mexican was about all in.

NEW YORK, March 14.--Almost helpless from rheumatism, penniless, ragged, homeless and friendless. "Jim. my McNally staggered into the Tombs Police Court this morning and begged 10 be sent to the almshouse. McNally who spent millions of dol lars. asked only that he might be sent some place where he might spend his few remaining days.
 All in," he said, huskily to Ser geant Germann. Drugs, opiates nor Dhine and cocaine dissipation in the days of his prosperity and exposure of late had combined to put him down and out
 There never appeared a man in the Tenderloin who spent more money steadily than Jimmy McNally. who literally threw it away in wine, wom- en and everything else except song.
 One night fifteen years ago he told a reporter he had taken in as his one share of the profits for one week S25O,000. That was when his men were receiving victims in West street. in Chambers street, in Christopher street, around Bleecker street and fur ther uptown. All this was done un- der the eyes of the police and without their objection.
 In his hour of extremity he accepts his fate with gamblers philosophy.
 McNally was still in his teens when he appeared as a waiter in resort in Sixth avenue. frequented by thieves, known tas the "Piunge.'' It is here, after time, that he met ''Red'' L,eary. raper. Irving. and finally. ,Jot Little, one of the pioneers of the green goods game.
 McNally and friend got s4,Q00 from a visitor at the ''Plunge'' one night, and with that bought the re sort. It has been said that a police official lent him s2O,0O0.
 He wrote the famous 50 Help Me God" circular letters. scattered them. broadcast through the country, and began to gather in the harvest.

 About that time he met Jennie Mum roe, or Nellie Marue, as she preferred to. be called, and the man is said to have given the woman in ten years S250.O00 worth of jewels, besides spending as much more on her. They htted up an opium den. When, the downfall came Nellie Marue died pen niless at Bellevue.
 McNally fIourished until 1891. He moved across the river, first to Ho- boken and then to Jersey City. An thony Comstoek and his men made a raid upon the headquarters. which was an entire house in which forty clerks worked

 NEW YORK, March 14.-Today's $ stock market was a reminder of the famous May 9th. stocks being sold on a terrific scale, with very little sup port in evidence. The bears have the situation completely in their control and in the absence of news calculat- ed to stimulate a better feeling, the market has declined in most cases to the lowest levels in some years. The strength in money had a very bad effect and the recent agitation against corporations has caused many holders to liquidate. The market closed at the lowest prices of the day. with no apparent sign of recov- ering.

One of the latest enterprises to be launched in the Greater Tucson is that of the Tucson Ssnitarium Company. which will establish a sanitarium for health seekers two miles south of town. T. M. Cooper. of Los Angeles. the president of the company, visited the site of the new sanitsrium on Tues day. Water has already been struck ht the 296 foot level, and is said to be the finest to be found in this section of the country, says the, Star.
 The sanitarium as projected in- cludes two-story and basement brick building. 62x5t feet, which viii 5s the headquarters of the company, and viii be surrounded by bungalow tents, which at the outset will number twen- ty, and will be increased to meet the demands of the health seekers. The architects plans for the brick building call for heating and sterilizing rooms In the basement.
 On the main floor will be located the office of the company. reception room, two treatment rooms, i7borato- ny, two drug rooms, pirate dining room, dining hall, kitchen. pantry. two bath rooms, an abundance of clos ct room, and an open court l4N25 feet,
  with cement. The seconi floor vii. be subdivided into sleeping apaIt- ments for the staff enlp,oyed, all f4a- tients being housed in the bungalow stents
 The bungalow tents will have all tho, comforts of home. They will be furnished at cost of from s35e to $500 each. the higher priced bungalows tc be equipped with nraSj bed steads. private baths. etc. The rates U Dc charged are from $.5 a week up. which includes every service, except i7 cases where a spa a:sdl nurse is re. ouired. and in such cases the purse will have to be provided at the eX- pense of the patient, but the profes- sional rate will be charged for The ta- ble board of such nurse, who will eat in the private dining room. which is especially set aside for the doctors and nurses.
 The Tucson Sanatorium Company has been incorporated under the laws of the Territory of Arizona for S100,- 900, the shares beiug Yalued at S1 each, and non-assessable. In discuss ing the need of a sanifarIum in Tue son, and the climatic conditions, Mir. Cooper said:
 Tucson is certainly the garden spot of the earth for the health seeker, and this fact is being appreciated more each year. What the Greater Tue son that is proposed needs is more sanitariums, or rather adequate guar ters and entertainments for the health seeker, who will flock here from all parts of the United States. The sitei secured by the Tucson Sanatorium Company will admit of our expanding until we have so of the bungalow tents in all, which will be no small colony.

Rock Island H., Sept 23.-Editor
Argus: We are all justly proud of
Long View park. One may travel
long way before finding a place equal
to it in. natural beauty. Now that Z
is being so rapidly and admirably i'm
proved We shall soon have one of the
most delightful parks in the state.
Since the dedication of its beautiful
fountain is postponed until next SUN
mer, allow me to suggest that the Cit
Zens of Rock Island ought to make the
week in which the dedicatory exercises
occur a home coming week for all fo:-
mer citizens of our city and cOmmun-
ity. Scattered over a wide area CO
country are people who have the fond
est recollectiOns of Rock Island es
their early home, many of them were
born here. All the associations Of
childhood and youth cluster about this
place. Others lived here long enough
to become closely identified with the
commercial, social and religious lie
of the community. A large per cent or
them would doubtless improve the OPP
portunity to return to their old homr
at a given time, and greet the friend:
of other years. Judging from the eX-
periences of neighboring cities such
an event could be made one of the
most enjoyable occasions that Rock
