CROPS IN DALLAS
COTTON APPEARS TO BE IN GOOD
 CONDITION
Farmers In Most Cases Are Holding The Staple-News Of The
 Central City.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Nov, 8. The farmers in the neighborhood of Selma and the men who travel out of the city in the territory adjacent to here report the outlook for the top cot ton crop to be the best that has been seen here in a great many years.
 The recent good weather has caused this top crop to mature nearly all over Central Alabama and on many farms the cotton is now being picked. This top crop when 1t is gathered will bring the, cotton crop of the central part of the State to almost as great an average as it has been during past years. It will also offset the poor crop of cotton which was gathered during the early fall. But with this cotton being gath cred the farmers in most instances are holding the staple with the ex- pectations that the price of cotton will go up again after the present financial crisis has passed. But even with the good crop of cotton which will be made the travelling men out of Selma report business in every section to be unusu- ally dull.
 The country merchants are doing very little business.

Breaks the Bars
 of An Arizona Jail

Climax Jim, the notorious jail breaker, confined in the Graham county jail, is exsrting his arts and wiles to the utmost to absent himself from this locality Def re the next ses- sion of court, says the Solomonyille Bulletin.
 Within the last week it was dis covered that he had been work ng on the steel bars of his cell and no less than six sections had been wrenched or pounded of in some mysterious way. The sections are only about four inches in length, which did not make an opening large enough for 8 man to crawl through, bu; it is alto gether likely that the enterprising Climax Jim and his associates could have made it larger with a l:ttle time.
 Confined in the steel cell with Jim are seven other desperate prisoners and on Wednesday tine sheriff issued an order that they should be shackle in pairs. A prisoner named John Burton, charged with horse stealing was accordingly sbsckled to Climax Wednesday night. Thursday morn ing when JailOr Merrill entered the cell the two men were parsding ur and down, their legs tied together with a little cotton string. One. half Of the shsckles were hanging CD the side of the cell. Climax had not only sprung the lock in some unac. countable way, but had actually broken one of the strong links of tht chain.
 How this could have been accom- plished without powerful tools is ab- solutely beyond conjecture. The eel has been searched repeatedly anC every scrap of metal taken away. St far as known, the men had no tools any kind, yet they were able to twis and break steel bars like they wer pssteboaId
 Climax Jim is easily the most slip. pery jail bird in the southwest When confined in the jail at othe times it was found impossible to keel him shsckled and he boldly declare that he can break any shackle place' upon him.
 When questioned by the keeper Thursday morning, he laughed an' said that the shackles fell spar while he and John Burton were ssleeI and that they put on the string a preeaution against their running away.

A Legal Question
 Confronts Arizona

If man is sentenced to serve term in prison at Yuma, can the leg islature of Arizona enact a law wh ch will force him to serve that term eiee where? IT the legislature has such power has it availed itself of in the re- moval bull just passed? An army of attorneys are ready to answer these questions negatively, and upon the answer of the supreme court depends the final issue, asks the Yuma E1- aminer.
 It is by no means certain that the penitentisry can be removed from Yuma under the law enacted by the legislature. E cry convict on the hill was sentenced to serve his time in the penitentisry at Yuma, and not at Florence. If the territory attempts to take them elsen here the lawyers of any prisoner may ask for his release from Florence on hsbess corpus, and unless the legislature has cleverly and securely anticipated this point and provided for the removal of the prisoners in a manner that imits of no doubt, the lawyers are liable to make their point stick and thus defer the re moval of the institution indefi. nitely.
 That this point will become the subject of an interesting controversy at an early date is rtaiu, and whether the territory can successfully contest the issue is one on which law yers do not agree. An effort to re- move the penitentisry of South Da. kots in 1878 in order that the insti- tuition might have farming ia ilities failed for this reason. The men had been sentenced t serve at Sioux Fail, and the supreme cour held that they could not be made to serve at an, other place. A test case of this sort probably will be filed at the instiga ticn of the territory at ap early date. and il the supreme court decides that the law as passed by the legislature Is not adequate the removal will have to over smother two two years.

Is Poker Playing
 Included In the Law?

Inc Tucson Citizen says that public poker games are thing of the past in Tucson. Gambling ceased year ago but poker games with a percent age for the house have been allowed to run. This was due to the inter- pretation by the city attorneys of the city gan tling ordinance to the effect that poker games were not contrary to the city law.
 The territorial legislature passed & law which is very similar to the city ordinance against gambling. District Attorney Di,k of Pima county has ruled that public poker games are against the recent territorial anti law, and as a result Sheriff Pacheco has notified the keepers of the public games that they must quit

Southern Pacific
 Extending Line

The Southern Pacific company will, according to rumors in circulation, secure the track hetween Yuma and Potholes as soon as the government shall have finished the construction of the Laguna dam. This move is to be mad by the Southern Pacific in an- ticipstion of the move contemplated by the Santa Fe at Parker, a hundred miles above Yuma. A bridge built across the colorado at Parker will open up to the Santa Fe the country along the west bank of the river, and when the Lsguns dam is completed further navigation of the river will be out Of the question.
 As soon ss the stretch of track be- tween Yuma and Potholes passes into the hands of the Southern Pacific that company will undoubtedly extend the tIac on to arker and checkm- u e alleged movement contemplated l., the Santa Fs compsny.-Yuma su,..
