NOISELESS' 4TH IS PLAN AT
 DOUGLAS
Ordinance Proposed That Will Make a Glad Smile the Only Legal Demonstration on the Nations Birthday,

l DOUGLAS, May 15.-(SpeciaI.l l-- If the present intentions of the city ialdermen are eonsummated Douglas will this ye.- celebrate Independence
 day noiselessiy and with painful mo. notony.
 The inherent and traditional right of the American small boy to celebrate the Fourth with loud sounding cannon crackers, sky-pirouetting rockets and
 Roman candles of soft, subdued ef. fleets is threatened.
 Also has come under the ban of the several aldermanic personages who
 hand down laws for the government of Douglas the toy pistol with which the small boy has felt the first thrill of budding Americanism.
 The council had a little previously announced soiree Saturday night and lit was then that this treason against the small boy was matched It came lin the sorm of a resolution directing the city attorney to draw up an ordi- nance, the effect of which will not only De to prevent the shooting of fire works in the city but the sale of them. It is matter of doubt if an ordinance can prevent business man from sell ing fire works under the present char ter but under the new ore, which will be in effect by the time the ordinance is voted upon, provided l. carries. such an ordinance can Ec voted upca.
 It is proposed by the aldermen tc have the ordinance so drawn that rrac- tically all classes of fire wcrEs will be excluded from the celebration of the day. They may generously allow the small boy the use of the punitive fire cracker, but anything that makes a real noise or a real glare across the heaven will not be considered polite in the Interpretation of the law.
 So the promise Is held forth for the Douglas youth that the Fourth will be equally as thrilling as a sewing circle of aged deaf mutes. The council has acted thus early in the matter in or. der 10 give the business men notice that it will be unwise for them to. lay in large stock of fire works.

HORRIBLE CRIME IF PHOE NIX
 MEXICAN
Arrested for AssauIting His Own Daughter, Aged Eleven Years with Evidence of Eye Witness Against Him.


 PHOENIX. May -(Special.)- Losaro varon. an elderly Mexican, was arrested about o'clock Saturday afternoon by Marshal snoore and plac. ed in the city jail, being later trans ferred to the county jail by Constable Murphy at Phoenix. It Is altogether likely that he win stay there until his transfer to Yuma for longer peried, perhaps to the end of his days, for the charge against him is the most he'-ons of all ordinary crimes, except perhaps that of murder, namely, criminal as- sault upon his own daughter, a child of eleven years.
 The family resides in the tenement house on the west side of Fourth av- enue, south of Jefferson street, and consists of the man under arrest, a laughter about Is years old and the victim, CT hristine. agei about II ve.rs. The mother of the children is dead. Other families occupy the same tene- mept row, some white and some col. cred. One of these neighborinS wo. men about o'Iock in the afternoon 'umnnoned Marshal Moore by 'phane. asking him to hurry down there. He did so and on arriving was told by the neighboring women that the lit tie child had been heard screaming. thus attracting their attention. One If them through a transom or open place over the door to the adjoining room. peered into the varon apartment and beheld the pitiful sight of child 7ghting for her life with the one per s0n in the world who should have been her strongest protector.
 The officer took the man into GUS tndy and observed that ne was under
 He influence cf lidro- hr,t he was ev- idently not so drunk but that he re- aEzed the gravity of his conduct for ! short time afterward the elder laughter who was at home at the time of the trouble. called at the jail to see her father and they tried as hard as they could in the presence of an
 fficer, to outii1e q defense fo~ tNe ae- cused. The old mans first injury of
 he girl was to ask her how her sister was, adding that he knew he had whin- ned her pretty hard and had left her crying. Thre was other conversation of similar character. from which It was designed the listener should draw the inference that ne had just been ar rested for overzeaIousness in correct lrg l wayward child.
 Later in the day the neigh bor women who were eyewitnesses to at least part of the incident, were examined by Justice Jolnstone and the little girl was also brought before him and after some persuasion she told the story. It corroborated all the women had said It appears that the elder girl is very anxious to shield her father, for when the little ane wss taken to the office of Justice Johnstone by the constable. as they left the house the older girl called aer sister back and warned her not to talk. Further evidence very injurious to the interest of the accused was fur nished by Dr. Wylie. to who the case of the child was referred.

 T am not exaggerating in the least when i say that ucscl ls laree linses as large as it was when l left here ten years ago l resided here for two years
 T have beeR coming here frequent ly but my idea of the size and growth of the city was only such as could be obtained by passing between the depot and the hotel and on the train coming into the city.
 Yesterday afternoon Mayor Rose took me for q drive. We went ail over the city and I was astounded at the number of fine residences of the city. The old Tucson--the city of adobes--seems to be rapidly passing away.
 Tucson is growing rapidly and ! believe that It's growth will continue" :" concluded Mir. ElIinwood.

PEANUT PATCH
 OF 300 ACRES
Largest Farm of Kind lh Coun- ty Started-Expect to
 Ship Train Loads.

| FALFURRIAS, Texas, May H.
 The largest crop of peanuts plant
 ed in Texas. and probably the largest
 ever planted in the United Sta-es. is
 now being put in at Falfurrias, On the
 Barnhart ard Woodson farm. Three hundred acres have been set aside for the crop.
 For more than year Messrs. baln-
 hart and Woodson, who are officers of the Barnhart Mercantile company of St. Louis, one of the largest whole sale handlers of nuts in the United States, have been planning for the crop which is now being put in. They have studied the peanut crops of the whole country and have made exhaustive analysis of the whole proposition They have cur,e to the deliberate conclusion that the red sandy loams of this immediate section are the best for peanuts. Their work is not experimental They have been perfecting the selling end of the peanut business for the past thirty years and have been studying tho producing end of it for a decade past.
 Planting was begun on Monday oi this week with machines shipped all the way from Old Virginia for the pur pose. The work has progressed at the rate of about twenty acres per day, and barring some unexDected hitch, will continue at that rapid rate until the full 300 acres are planted.
 If the crop comes up to expecta- tions Falfurrias will ship trainloads of peanuts to St Louis next faIl for distribution all over the United States and Canada. The harvesting and threshing of the crop will be a gigan- tic undertaking and special thresh- ing machinery will be built and ship ped here to help the work.
 This years crop will be confined entirely to the Spanish variety or pea nuts although it is believed several ether varieties will do almost, if not quite, as well on the same soil These Spanish nuts are most in demand by candy manufacturers. They are very rich in oil and have a flavor of peci.- liar delicacy
 Before harvesting the nuts the vines will be cut and cured for hay, and it is expected that the yieri o:I forage will be not less than ton per
 This year. in addition to the 5J0 acres of peanuts, will be planted 12u acres of extra early watermelons and 250 acres of cotton. Last yea: the cotton crop paid more than 40 per cent on the money invested.

QUEEREST LIBEL

The libel law of Australia is the queerest in the world. He who is sued for libel there must not only prove that the accusations he pub lished were true. but also that to pub fish them was for the public benefit. Elsewhere the truth of the accusation alone needs to be proved.
 An Australian sheep raiser explain ed this queer libel law at a wool sale.
 Australia was practically colon ized by convicts," he said There is no use denying this. The colonizers of Australia were eonyicts III the main.
 The descendants of these convicts are now Austraiia's leading families, the richest, the most influential. the most intelligent. the most respected. And yet these excellent people were in the past at the mercy of every edi. tor. Let them get into the smallest

It show. to be sure. q certain quality of inventive ness which In the realm of pure imagination might not be without its uses Our practical contemporary. The Columbia (S. C.) State, pertinently sug. gests that. the largest possible profit the 'financial kings could make by reduction of the price of cotton would be $150.000.000. It points out that the losses incurred in railroad. mining and other industrial stocks largely owned in New York and other Eastern cities.
