FOR THE MARINES.

Since Joseph filled the sacks uf
his brethren with corn from Pha-
rauh's Earncrs II has been recognized
as a law of tranic that the price OF
merchandise is in great measure gov.
crned by the supply Of money. Aris.
totle tells us that the supply Of coin
absolutely commanded prices in his
day, but there were no credits then.
and Notwithstanding our modern sys-
tens OF banking and credits, the sup.
ply OF currency has always nfm.
cnccd prices in very considerable de-.
gree. When money was abundant
prices advanced. when II was scarce
prices fell.
Hut the meat trust announces n
repeal of this commercial law OF the
ages and cooly tells the public that
as II has no money with which 10
buy live stock on the hoof, II IS
reduced to the repulsive necessity of
advancing the prices OF the provi.
slons II has on hand.
And thus the consumers of Wash.
incton and other Eastern communi-
ties are told by the meat men:
Heads ! win; tails YOU lose" Or 10

You can and you cant.
You will and YOU won't,

salaried man, is caught "a-comin' an
agwine" There Is no escape for him
when the octopus goes a-chasing OF

FOR
 DRUMMER'S SON
Son of L. E. Bloomburg, We'll Known
 Travelling Man, Who Was Charged With Killing Non-union Car Man in
 San Francisco, Is Found Not Guilty.

The Bisbee Miner contains the fol lowing story which will be of interest to many Globe friends of l.. E. Bloom burg, a well known San Francisco drummer who comes regularly to this city:
 Receiving word yesterday that his son. who was arrested on the charge of murder and was tried a few days since at San Francisco and acquitted yesterday, it was truly joyful day for l.. E. Bloomberg, we'll known travel ing salesman, who left the city last evening. The shooting with which young Bloomburg was charged occurred during a riot in connection with the street car strike.
 MT. Bloomburg, who was guest at the Copper Queen hotel, was standing in the lobby yesterday afternoon when messenger boy entered and presented him with telegram. Guests were at tracted by the peculiar manner in which he acted immediately after glaneing over it, and his involuntary ejaculation of relief.
 Seeing their curiosity, he explained that his son had been arrested during the riots, attending the San Francisco strike, as a suspect in connection with the shooting of a non-union motor man.
 The facts of the case as far as could be learned were confined to the tele- gram. The motorman, leaving the ear barn one day while the riots were at their height, started to go to his home. To do this he had to pass through the most ,densely populated business dis trict.
 In short time he was aware that his cap and uniform had been spotted and discovered that he was being followed by large crowd of union sympathizers. On going a little farther he found the crowd had become even larger and was steadily increasing in size, he turned to make fight.
 On seeing his determined posture, the crowd backed off a little distance and it seemed that the man was destined to get away from them when they saw that the man was trying to avoid any trouble. At this point someone who was in the crowd commenced firing, and the motorman dropped dead with bull let through his brain.
 Young Bloomburg, immediately in front of whose place the shooting oc- cured, was arrested shortly afterward for the crime. He was a special officer and wes trying to prevent the crowd from shooting or otherwise injuring the man when the firing occurred, as it afterward developed

furnished by the United States Steel corporation has caused many smashups and other accidents involving the kill ing of scores of passengers on other lines.
 As a result of this experience the American Railway association appoint ed a committee of nine of it's members to demand of the Steel company bet tor and more reliable rail. Mir. Harri- man gave an order to the Tennessee Coal & Iron company, practically the only independent plant in the country, for 150.000 tons of rails, saying: "The lives of the passengers on the Southern Pacific are more valuable than the ne' cessity for dividends on Steel stocks. "
 Various causes are assigned for the inferior rails now supplied by the trust, but the bottom reason is that which has lowered the quality and raised the price of nearly all goods manufactured by a monopoly-namely, greed encour' aged and protected by a prohibitory tariff. The executive head of one of the greatest trunk lines in the country in reply to question by reporter of the New York American, as to the rem edy, said;
 "Revise the tariff. As long as the Steel corporation is able to control the market, deliver the rails that it thinks good enough, and the railroad is help less to go elsewhere, the trouble cannot be eradicated unless the railroads act ing as a unit demand change and refuse to accept rails unsatisfactory and that is hardly probable. !"

INDIAN GIRL |S
 AFTER HER RIGHTS
Adopted While Papoose by Pioneer of Prescott, Bessie Brooks Edgar Now Wants Part of Estate-Interesting Legal Contest Is Expected.

What promises to develop into one of the prettiest legal questions not un- mixed with romance the Arizona courts have been called upon to decide for some time has evolved out of the recent death in Cleveland, Ohio, of Hezekiah Brooks, the pioneer settler of Prescott, who came here in 1863, building the first log cabin on the banks of Granite creek, at the present site of Prescott.
 In the wild days of the rugged west, when the prospector and the redskin roamed untrammeled save for the pres ence of each other o Ter the desert and mountain lands of Arizona, Hezekiah Brooks engaged in the battle with the reds that was fought on Battle Flat, twenty-five miles from Prescott. After the fight, in which the Indians were completely routed, Mr. Brooks ehanced upon pretty, red-cheeked papoose ly- ing on the battle field, crying Justify for its mother, who had deserted it in her nasty retreat from the scene of conflict
 Tenderly the rugged pioneer gathered the wee atom of humanity into his brawny arms and, bringing it to his home in Prescott, he presented it to his wife as one of their daughters and lit orally, if not legally, adopted the little waif, who soon grew into handsome womanhood under the name of Bessie Brooks.
 Later the adopted daughter met and was won by one of Yavapai county E stalwart sons, James Edgar, of whom she is now the happy wife.
 Then came the time when all of Hez- ekiah Brooks kith and kin, save this adopted daughter and his niece in Cleveland had passed away, and now that the old pioneer has gone to join them in the great beyond, the niece and adopted daughter are anxious to learn the rights of each other to the estate decedent left behind. It is understood the niece makes the claim that as Bes- sic Brooks was never legally adopted she has no right to any part of the estate The question of law to be decid' ed is whether or not she was legally the adopted daughter of MT. Brooks.
 In support of her claim that she was legally adopted, Mrs. Edgar cites the fact that at the time of her marriage to Mir. Edgar the question was raised that there was an Arizona statute pro. hibiting an Indian and white person marrying. When it seemed that the marriage would thus be averted, Mir Brooks came forward, it is alleged, and made affidavit that the brideto-be, Bes sic Brooks, was his legally adopted daughter and therefore, by adoption, q white girl On this showing the license was issued and MT. Edgar and Bessie Brooks were united in marriage.
 As the adoption if legally made took place in the eos, there is much specula tion among the attorneys engaged 1T looking up the matter as to whether 6 record of Mrs. Edgar's legal adoption i can be found.
