runaway accident at Lvermore Falls Fri.
day, died Monday at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. f. il. Record. The body will be-
taken to Wilton Wednesday. From the
few words spoken by the young man af-
ter the accident. it is inferred his horse
became frightened by an automobile in
Evergreen park and in an endeavor to re-
strain the horse young Pickens burst a
blood vessel in or close to the brain, from,
the effects of which he died. Young Pick
ems was born in Dixfield II years ago.

high tariff does produce prosperity for the trusts, which are fostered and pro- tected by the tariff, but such protec- ton to the monopolists also results in high prices which the people have to pay. These high prices and i'm mense profits to the trusts and mon opolists. very naturally induce them to increase production of their prod ucts. but it also requires a like in crease in incomes and wages to meet the advance in the cost of living, for the people cannot spend what they do not get. As incomes and wages have not increased in proportion to prices we now suffer from strikes in an at tempt to even up income and outgo.
 The high price of all commodities also requires more money to do busi- ness, and although there is a constant ly increasing volume per capita, in consequence of the enlarged produc- tion of gold, yet the imitation is not enough to finance the trusts and cor porations with their enormous capi- talization which is augmented by hun dreds of millions annually.
 So we are now suffering from money stringency and a panic in Wall street, which is already adversely affecting business and may become more acute by October. If the Democrats elect a president next year, and the present incipient panic should next year de velop into hard times, MT. Shaw and the Republicans would, of course, say the Democratic victory, or the fear of it. had disturbed business and pro- duced the panic. Is it not about time for sensible people to get together, and force the enactment of reform legis- lation, finacial and economic, that will prevent panics by reforming the tariff that protects the trusts, prevent fic- titious capitalization of corporations and by fair taxation, including a con stitutional income tax, prevent the concentration of all the surplus wealth of the country in the hands of the few upon which the many must pay in- terest.

the American Mining congress. Doug las is the center of one of the great est copper belts in this country and here is located the second largest cop per shelter in the country, built on the most modern plans known. Here is the gateway to the rich mineral country in the state of Sonora. Mexi- co. Bisbee, only twenty-eight miles from Douglas. is the greatest mining camp in Arizona, and Cananea, only a little further away. is the greatest mining camp in Sonora.
 Douglas citizens should go to work without loss of time with a determi- nation to win the next meeting of the American Mining congress. Such work. if successful, will require ener- gy and some means. An organization should be perfected now. so that cor respondence may be opened with del, egates from Arizona as well as those from other states.
 Douglas will be able to care for such a congress in a creditable man. ner. The Gadsden hotel, which will be the finest in the territory, of itself should be a winning card for Doug, las. The delegates to the congress could be easily accommodated here in a first class manner. perhaps bet ter than would be possible in any oth- CT Arizona city.
 The result of the meeting of the American Mining congress in Doug. las vould be to give to Arizona, as well as this city and surrounding mineral country. a prominence among the mining countries as could be SC, cured in no other way.
 It is to be hoped that the citizens of Douglas, and especially the busi- ness and mining men of this city, will get busy with the work of bringing the 1908 American Mining congress here.

LET DOUGLAS WORK FOR IT.

(Dougias International American.)
 The next annual convention of the American Mining congress will meet at Joplin, Missouri, beginning Novem- Der II. This mining congress will draw together the ablest men actively engaged or connected with the mining industry of the country and here is an opportunity which should not be overlooked in bringing the mineral resources of Arizona into greater prominence. In this effort there should be concerted action through out the territory.
 The American Mining congress met at Denver last year and while Arizona was not largely represented at that meeting, still considerable attention was directed to this territory by those present The only man, so far as we know, who attended the congress at Denver from Cochise county was c. B. Bell of this city and we all re member with appreciation how he got into the game and entered Douglas as a candidate for the privilege of entertaining the 1907 session of the congress. In that contest Douglas was only beaten by Joplin by few votes Although unsuccessful in bringing the congress to Douglas this year he received assurances from many of the prominent members that they would help him secure the 1908 convention. should Douglas be an ap- plicant at the coming congress in Jopliu.
 Now. here is an opportunity for Douglas to get busy on a proposition that will result in great benefit to Arizona and more to this city. Tn this effort Douglas has a right to ex- pect the assistance of the entire ter ritory of Arizona. Of all places in Arizona, Douglas is the one best To- cated for the holding of such an i'm portant meeting of mining men as

ENRICHING EUROPE.

The New York JouTGa! Of Commerce estimates that tourists and travellers from our shores to Europe spend 2 hundred million dollars annually be yond the seas and now the banks are complaining of tight money is a good time to consider how this and other dI aims 0n GtiTT resources zee cen he Ent to an end. This extravaganza must in the course of years tend greatly to enrich Europe while impoverishing this country. And there are two other things also tending in the same direc, tion. One is that the heiresses of this country are constantly marrying titled Europeans and transferring vast for tunes from this continent to Europe in that way. American money is used ito buy worthless counts, such as Boni Castellane, and the only return for it Is in the form Of scandal. Another way in which American money Is being rapidly transferred to Europe without any substantial return for it is found in the counter current of emigration. For while heavy stream of immi- grants with empty purses is pouring in upon us, there is considerable stream flowing back to Europe carry ing the savings of years of successful business along with them. These things cannot easily be stopped. But well graduated income and inherit anee taxes would tend to lessen the evils they entail. Millionaires would have less to spend in travel and in buying curious antiworthless souvenirs. Heiresse would have less to pay for worthless fortune hunting husbands; and returning immigrants smaller fof. tunes to carry away.

He Stretches Animal Skins Over PIas-
 ter of Paris Forms.
 Recently a prominent taxidermist of St. Louis was taking a party of visit OrS through his establishment. He had some very rare specimens of big game fish. both of the sea and river, besides a large collection of birds of every cline about the walls.
 "Is that stuffed. too?" asked a lady. indicating the lifeiike form of a small pet dog which sat motionless upon the hearth
 The taXidermist fIOwned and return ed very indignantly:
 Madam, we do no stuffing here. We stretch our hides over plaster of paris forms. The day of stuffing is past. and no up to date establishment does it."
 The party was taken upstairs, through the rooms where the real taxi dermy is done. They had expected to see hides being crammed full of saw dust, shayings and perhaps hair No such thing was seen. however. and in place of this were men and boys mold ing out the forms of deer, antelope, fish and other kinds of animals in the smooth white plaster This is done very much in the same way as the terra cotta cOrnices are nodded to grace the corners of buildings. The hides after going through the cleaning process are stretched tightly over the plaster form, which indeed is more lasting than the old fashioned manner of stuffing them.
 Even specimens of fish are treated in this manner" resumed the taxideE- mist 'and you may easily see how 8 skin would retain !ts shape a great deal longer over the hard. smooth sur face of the plaster than if a softer ma terial were crammed into if. which If improperly done will bulge and last bet a short me."--EXchange.

THINKING ALOUD.
4 Russ Which Reused Lord Dudley
 and Formed a Friendship.

and Formed Friendship.
 One of the earls of Dudley, who was addicted to the practice of thinking aloud, found himself in a very awk- ward predicament on a certain occa- sion. He was to spend the evening at the house of a friend and ordered his carriage early, as he had a long drive back to his own home.
 When the hour arrived the carriage was not forthcoming. Seeing that Lord Dudley was considerably annoy ed by the delay one of the guests, whose way homeward lay past his lOrdsnIps house, politely offered him a seat in his carriage. The. gentleman was almost a stranger to Lord Dud- ley, but the offer was accepted.
 The drive did not prove very socia- ble one. Lord Dudley took his seat and immediately relapsed into silence, his thoughts apparently engroSsed by some unpleasant subject. Presently he began to speak in a low but distinctly audible tone of voice. and his compan- ion, to his astonishment, heard him say:
 I'm very sorry I accepted his offer. I don't know the man. It was civil certainly, but the. worst is I suppose I must ask him to dinner"
 Silence followed this bit of audible thinking. His lOrdship was unaware that he had betrayed his thoughts and was probably still meditating upon the same unpleasant subject when the voice of his companion broke the still ness
 Apparently this stranger was affiict- ed with the same malady from which his lordship suffered, for he exactly initiated Lord Dudley's tone as be said:
 Perhaps he'll think did it to make his acquaintance. Why, I would have done the same to any farmer on his estate. hope he won't ask me to din- ner, for I shan't accept his invitation"
 Lord Dudley's abstraction was all gone. He listened to the others words immediately comprehending the joke against himself, and frankly offareG His hand to his companion. making many apologies for his involuntary rudeness.
 The stranger proved magnanimoUs and from that night the two became fast friends.

Lincoln's Last Law Case,

Lincoln tried his last case in Chi cago. It was the case of Jones versus Johnson in April and May. 1860. in tie United States circuit court before Judge DrummOnd. The case involved the title to land of very great value, the accretion on the shore of Lake Michigan. During the trial Judge Drummond and all the counsel on both sides, including Lincoln. dined together at the house of Isaac N. Arnold.
 At the conclusion of the dinner this toast was proposed; May Illinois fur nish the next president of the United States" It was drunk with great en- thusiasm by the friends of both Lin, coin and Douglas. Chicago Record Herald

The Wary CrnM-

The crow is useful in killing mice, snakes. lizards and frogs and is a splendid scavenger. He is quite wary, will always flee from a man with a gun. but pays little attention to the ordinary pedestrian. These birds are gregarious in their habits and make their large, untidy nests at the tops of trees. They come in flocks to the sleep Ing grove, sit around on the ground, and when all are assembled they rise simultaneously and scramble for nests. Crows mate for life.

PANICS AND POLITICS.

That delightfully."- strenuous stand batter. Leslie NJ. Shaw, now says the cause of all panics has been trace able to financial or economical agi- tation, or Legislation and usually both, thus attempting to blame all panics on the Democrats. But he evidently has to falsify history to prove his con- tention, for all the panics since the Civil War originated under Republican rule, and developed under Republican legislation. The panic of 1S6S-Black Friday; the great panic marked by the failure of Jay Cooke & Co. in Sep tember, 1873; the panic of 1892; all commenced when the Republican party was in power, and that party is alone responsible for the financial and economical Legislation, and must, therefore. take the blame for those business depressions.
 Tn contention of the Republicans that the panic of 1892 should be charged to the Cleveland admiDistra- tion has no historical truth for its first indications were given Novem- Der II, 1890, about eighteen months after the inauguration of President Harrison, and just after the McKin- ley tariff bill became a law. When President Cleveland went out of office March f, 1889, there was an available cash balance in the United States treasury of s27S,s79,S79. Four years after when President Harrison retired March 1, 1893, the treasury books showed but SIPS, ,6Sa, 72S available cash. But that available balance was ar rived at by change in the system of bookkeeping, and on the same methods as the books were kept under the Cleveland and prior admin istrations would show a deficit.
 The United States treasury was vir- tually bankrupt on February g, 1893, only a few days before the Demo crats took charge of the government. Secretary Foster, who testified before the committee on ways and means on February g, 1893. said: If I elim- mated those items nov federal de- posits on national banks and subsidi- ary coin, etc.) there woald be a show ing of deficit" This evidence will be found in house report No. 2621, fifty second congress, second session.
 Thus Secretary Shaw conviets his own party of being responsible for all the panics, for the financial and eco homie legislation in operation at the time these panics originated was en- acted by the Republican party. and when the Mckinley and otner high tariff laws were in operation, which are reported by the Republican stand patters to produce prosperity.
 Now the Democrats claim. and his tory proves their contention, that a
