Says the Arizona Republican: "Col
 Allen T. Bird of the Nogales Oasis has gone to Hermosillo to participate |ia the reception of Vice President Ra-
 mon Corral, which is probably the
 most important function in the en- tire Mexican republic this week. There may be an apprehension that the mis- sion of Colonel Bird is political, having something to do with the joint are of Arizona and Sonora, since Col oneI Bird is supposed to have jointure on the brain, but if so, the apprehen- sion is unfounded. We are sure that the visit of Colonel Bird is an in- formal, friendly and iisinterested one. We know of our own knowledge of the intimate personal relations which for years have existed between Colonel Bird and the nov second man in Mexl- co. It was once our good fortune to accompany Colonel Bird to the pal ace of the vice president when he was the governor of Sonora and to witness the feEeitous exchanges be tween these representatives of the Latin and the Anglo-saxon races on the western continent. However dear to the heart of Colonel Bird jointure in any form may be, we are certain that Colonel Bird would not obtrude the subject upon senor' Corral at this time or try in any way to mingie business with pleasure"

Edmund G. Ross, at one time United States senator from Kansas. and whose vote prevented the impeach- nent of President Andrew Johnson, died recently at Albuquerque. N. NJ.

A CONCERTED MovEMENT.r

The Bisbees Reeiew sayss The Review suggests that those citizens of Phoenix lose no time in getting an organization perfected which will in- sure an investigati6n of the unjust and discriminating railroad rates ap- piled to this territory. For example, how can its be fair and just for rail- road company to charge as much for hauling a ear of freight from El Pas0
 sisbee as Is charged for hauling the same car from wisconsin to Fl Paso2"
 The Review. like the Democrat sees this railroad question in the proper light; but why can not Bisbee also take up the matter and appcInl a committee of business men to con fer with 3 similar committee from Phoenix. Prescott. Globe and ,other towns? A concerted movement all over the territory, if backed by the staiwart citizenship Of the territory would have more effect upon the in terstate commission than a local movement would have. In union there is strength. and if the business men throughout this territory wouia take up this matter of cheap freight rates and intelligentIy investigate con ditions andsthe way to correct mat ters. it will be worth thousands of dol Jars to thesa and will open up and develop the country in the most as- conishtng manner. And it will do this without in any way injuring the railroads No Intelligent man wants to sandbag the railroads; they are insti- tutions that are absolutely necessary to the advancement of the country; ] but high rates are unquestionably holding back the country, and byI giviag reasonable reductions the rail roads will find that they will get more business and make more money.
 This is on the principle that a big dry goods firm can make more money by selling more goods at closer prices and is recognized principle of busi- ness Aside from doing more bust ness the railroads will build ap for themselves a permanent demand for more freight.
 Let it be strong pull and pull all over Arizona.--Arizona Democrat.

I0-YEAR PUZZLE
 IS CLEARED UP

MORALES. May 23-Sheriff Harry j. Saxon is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. E. P. Lyman, No S05 Wyandotte street. Kansas City, inquiring about her husband. Mrs. Lyman says in the letter that her husband was some times known as E'Kid' Lyman, and that she had been tolu he had com mitted suicide in Nogales. Appa- rently the lady had been correctly in. formed, but the tragedy in the case transpired about ten years ago.
 It was in 1897 that Kid" Lyman permitted his light to shine in No gales. and in a short time he shone in sporting circles as a particularly bright and scintillating star. The Kid" sometimes tended bar and oft. en was ready to bet his pile" thal he was fayorite of Dame Fortune. When he won he would have a time and it was during one of these times that he married Irene Vance. When he sobered up and found him self married. he placed a 45 Colts to bis head and blew the holy bonds of matrimony all to pieces.
 At the funeral Irene played the role of widow. She no doubt believ- ed she was a widow, as did everyone else. in the Line City. None knew here that Kid Lyman had a wife before coming to Nogales. and that the reai widow in the case was a res ident of Kansas City. The suicide Of the Kid was attributed to an az gravated attack of the @blues" after a protTacted drunk, but the letter re- ceived by sheriff Saxon causes the 6elief that the fact that he awoke from his debauch and found that he had married a second time and com mitted bigamy gOaded Lyman to his tragic death.

 Then came the announcement that the president had decided on secre-
 tar Taft as his successor. Why he
 did this we cannot say. Probably he thought that the Hon. Josephus Can . non was too precoeious. too immature. for the presidential office.

Whom Kansas heard Ross had voted not gull Ity, the storm broke D. W. Wilder, then editor of the Leavenworth Con iservative, in his issue of May IT, 1868, said: Johnson is acquitted because Kansas is corrupt. The fate of the nation depended upon the vote.
