It's not so hard to love your neigh
Dor as yourself when she's young, rich
and pretty.
Funny, but a kiss on the cheek is
not as cheeky as one on the lips.

miserable.
"sWEETHEARTs AND WIVES"
There's a toast that the sailorman gives
in each port
That his sturdy ship happens to reach;
He fills up his glass for hearty retort,
When his messmates pledge each one
to each;
Then, hand raised on high, and eye meet
ing eye,
To outdo his fellows he strives,
With the toast ringing round in gale of
glad sound,
He drinks there to "Sweethearts and
Wives!'
No sailorman I, but toast can give,
And wait for no port when I fill,
For safe harbor I make every evening !

Where storms never enter to thrill.
So, hand raised with glass, let me pledge

The joy of each day of my life;
With the toast ringing round In gale of
glad sound,
Drink with me to my Sweetheart and

EXC|TEMENTOvER
 RECORDS HAS
 SUbS|DED
0'Reilly Kept Records In Bis bee for Convenience-PIats and Books Are Now on Way To Tombstone.

It seems from later developments that the excitement caused at Tomb stone on Thursday, when it was re ported that the new county assessor could not obtain the books, plats and records belonging to the office, as they had been removed, has subsided, ow ing to the action Of B. J. O'Reilly, who formerly held the office of county as sessor.
 When seen yesterday and asked concerning the matter, O'Reilly said:
 T think that all of this talk and ex- citement about the records could have been very easily avoided If had been asked concerning the records of the office.
 During my terms of offise as coun- ty assessor I have always kept the records in Bisbee, where I have had my private business, and it was most convenient, not only for me, but for the taxbayers of the county. The greater proportion of the taxable wealth Of the county lies right in the Warren District and at Douglas, and I think Bisbee would be the natural place for me to keep the records.
 If I were asked concerning matters in connection with the assessment of property. and all of the records of the office were at Tombstone, it would necessitate my travelling to the county seat to get the desired information, and would cause a great deal of incon- venience to the person desiring the in- formation.
 "For these reasons I have always kept the records of the office in Bis bee. and naturally the new assessor did not find them in the court house at All of the books and rec ords belonging to the county nave been packed, and will be shipped to this evening.
 Tn addition to the county recor Is there is a great deal of informa ,dor which I have compiled dering. my term of office at my own Expense which the new assessor is very wei come to use, as I desire te> assist him in every way.
 Al of the excitem' mt was a false alarm, as the oonntyFs property is now on it's way to Tor nbstone, addressed to the new assess ,or.'

 An Indiana man who had befriended the senator in Indianapolis years before as a strugglig young lawyer, osten- sibly initiated the negotiations, rep resenting to the senator how he had watched his career with pride, etc., how the certificates inclosed would make him a rich man, and render easier his task of achieving higher po- litical honors, ct cetera, ad infinitum. The game, of course, didn't work.
 Senator Beyeridge sent the certin- cates back to his old Hoosier frieno with a note of thanks, but not hint!ng : in the vaguest way that he understood ] perfectly what the real object was.
 Senator Beveridge has spoken of | this matter to only a very few inti- mate friends in Washington, to some ' of whom he has shown the letter that accompanied the stock certificates and his cordial reply, but the story that Is going the rounds of the western news papers has exaggerated the amount of money involved, and has misrepre- sented the character of Senator Rev. i eridge's letter of refusal
 The Washington Post prints the fol- lowing story regarding statehood for New Mexico and Arizona:
 ] When the statehood bill was being discussed last winter, one or the most bitter opponents of it was Mar GUS Aurelius Smith, the delegate from the Territory of Arizona. He fought the provision making Arizona a state jointly with New Mexico, and after it was defeated returned to his con stitpents and engaged in the fight in
 the territory which terminated in an overwhelming vote against joint state hood. He took his seat in the house . on the opening day, but soon left for , Jackson Springs, Tenn, for rest, and did not return until yesterday.

DANVILLE> Va, Jan, Se-Dr. R. c. Flower, who is being held in Phila- delphia on the charge Of a $1,000,0O0 mine sWindle, perpresrated under the name oS the SpenaSuma Mining Com pany. ia Graham county, is well konwn in D&nville and throughout the south, where, some years age. he posed as a physician and faith cure healer, de clarin2 that he could cure any and all diseases known to mankind
 Many rich southern society women, wives of prominent and leading mer- chants and bankers, fell victims to his dulcet voice and his convincing and charming manners.
 He feeced them out of thousands of dollars and left them with many bottles of highly colored water, for which they paid great prices. The most interesting and audacious scheme he perpetrated on the gulli- ble public was in an Ohio town, probably Youngstown. Dr. Flower was educated for the Campbellite ministry and had charge of a church with large congregation in the Ohio town. He was a brilliant talker and highly thought of. He drifted from the plain Gospel and took up the, faith cure theory and opened a faith cure sanitarium, most wonderful in stitution. On the roof he had what he called sun parlor.
 It was inclosed with glass. Rich women were his victims, and their treatment consisted of taking off all their clothes and walking around en dishabille in the, rays of the sun.
 Flowers declared himself possessed of Divine power that made him "phy- sically blind" in the presence of his | female patients. By the touches from | his divine hand the women were de- toIo
