The resolutions follow:
Whereas, in the course of human
events is has fallen to the lot Of our
esteemed sbrother, David H. Emery
Esq, to suffer most sad and dis
tressing aft1iction in the tragic death
of his beloved wife, who has been sud-
denly removed from this earthly exis-
tence while yet in the vigor Of an &C /.
tive, useful, and benevolent Christian
life; and,
Whereas, the golden ties of brother
hood and affection which cement so
closely together the members of our

pulses Of our natures towards a BROTH
er when passing through the valley
and shadow of a great sorrow, such
as has now overtaken our Brother EN-.

by tender to our Brother Emery and
his family our most sincere and heart

tice.
We also deem it fitting that we
should here, bear witness to the noble
Christian character Of the late wife Of
our brother, who was not only q de-
voted and loving wife and mother, but
one whose sympathies were as broad
and wide as the needs and sorrows of
all those with whom she came In con-
tact, and whose sympathies and ten
der ministrations among the poor the
sick and the afflicted in our commune
ity, whether in church. hospital or So
ciety, are among the browning glories
of a well spent life, and will be long
held in sweet and loving remembrance
by all who knew her.
Resolved, That a copy Of these ex-
pressions of our sympathy be furnish
ed to our brother and his family as a
memorial of the deep and sincere SYM

| the present state auditor, came near
causing fatal chill for the bill.
If it had been believed possible
that State Auditor Carroll would be-
come the head of the new department
a very large part Of the activity for
the department would never .have
been Witnessed But the rumor Is
in circulation that he will be, or may
be, or ought to be, the new insurance
commissioner; and 1t is learned a
counter fight will be started to prel
vent any such possibility
There are several avowed candi-
dates for the position soon to he
created, namely: Ole O. Roe, who has
personal charge of the insurance de.
partment in the office of auditor Of
state and who would represent q con-
tinuance of the present policy; G. G..
Mccarthy, former state auditor, whose
long experience Ia the work fits him
especially for the place; and Stewart
Goodrell, at present In California,
more recently of Chicago, but Tor
many years insurance clerk in the
office Of auditor of state.
1t is probable that one Of these
four men will be named for the place,
and there Is very little doubt that
Governor Cummins will first tender
the place to State Auditor Carroll
and urge up on him that he accept.
The bill is in the hands Of house
committee. The bill is defective In
that provision is made for commenc.
Ing the term at. the worst possible
season OF the year. It 1t declared. al.
so. that there Is no provision In the
bill to the effect that the new In
surance commissioners Snail assume
all the duties Of the present state
auditor In regard to insurance. An
innovation very much desired by the,
Insurance companies was inserted in
the bill at the last moment, providing
for judicial review Of the acts Of
1.-THE commissioner SO that in case q
commissioner becomes arbitrary
ccmpany may gain relief. The APP
pellate body Is the state executive
council. and any company not salts
fled with the rulings OF the commits.
sioner may appeal to this body, which
may reverse his rulings. Thus the
state executive council becomes in
fact the head of the department and
1t will be impossible for commits.
sioner to act hastily or without con.
siderfng what will be the attitude of
the state officers.
o.
After making slight amendment
the house committee on elections has
recommended for passage the referen.
dunn bill by Pierce of Buena Vista.
Tae bill provides that any question Of
legislation or amendment to the cor
stitution can be submitted to the peo-
pie at primary election for an Ak
preston of the public sentiment on
the petition of members of the legis-
lature to the secretary Of state The
bill as drafted by Pierce provided
that the petition Of 80 Of the So mem.
bers OF the legislature would be suf-
ficient. That would have been less
than one-fifth. The committee thought
best to require the petition Of SIS mem 4
[bers of the legislature or little more
than one-third Of the members Of the
legislature. Under the provisions Of
the bill the vote of the public on
question would carry only the weight
Of public sentiment and 1t would re-
main for the legislature to enact the
proposition into law or not.

Shelter for Del Rio.

It is learned that the Greene Con solidated Copper company have decid- ed to erect new and ma m moth smelt ing plant for the economical treat ment of their ores at Del Rio, the juction of the Cananea- Nogales road with the Naco- Cananea branch
 The plant will be one of the most modern and complete of it's kind in the world. will require about two years to build and will cost about three million dollars.
 Every thing about the smelters and mines will be run with electricity from central point, and for the gen. eration of power crude oil will be used, for which concession has. been obtained from the Mexican government for in portation from the United States free from duty.
 A new city will naturally spring up at Del Rio, which within a short time after the commencement of work will acquire population of several thousand, as it is proposed to connect it with the companY's mines by an electric railroad to transport ores to the sIneIters and the workmen to ano from the miEe.
 It is said work will commence or the mammoth new enterprise early in January.
