 uries; and he declares that they shall be called upon to pay under the laws of Ohio. When he gets matters all arranged here to suit, and at the mines, the gentleman will go to Ohio, and some of the gentry who have resorted to the criminal law in their effort to do him up" will have their hearts content with litigation.
 Monday morning Messrs. Haas and Weinlein appeared before Justice Gildea to answer to the charge against them, but the case went over, owing to the unavoid able absence at Phoenix of the prosecuting witness and his attor- ney, Wednesday being set for the hearing. Owing to delay at Phoenix and Maricopa it was inn possible for Messrs. Fitch and Sheperd to reach Nogales Tuesday evening, and rather than ask further extension of time it was thought best to let the matter go by default, so the defendants were discharged. They can be attended to, says Mir. Sheperd. with the other fellows in Columbus. The three civil suits mentioned last week are yet on the calendar, and they will be tried out, ayers Mir. Sheperd.
 At the present writing the Shep- erd faction in the Realito Company have the advantage decidedly. They remain in possession of the. company and the property, and arrangements are in hand for financing the enterprise on grand scale, supplying all the funds necessary to conduct operations effectively and with expedition. By the time the extension of the Cananea, Rio Yaqui < Pacific railway reaches the property which will be within six months, there will be ready for shipment large tonnage of high grade ores that will net a handsome sum of money, to be devoted to further explora- ton and purchase of machinery for reduction of the ores that will not pay to ship, but which will yield handsomely if reduced at the camp. And extensive develop ment in the great copper field will be prosecuted with all vigor
 The extension of the Cananea, Rio Yaqui & Pacific railway northward toward Tonichi and Cananea will pass between the Realito properties and the riverv on the west side, and in no event will they be more than two miles away from any of the workings on the great properties owned by the Realito company. From the sta- tion which will be established at Realito, or in the vicinity, it is but about 40 miles to Ciuaymas, which short distance to tidewater, and the cheap freight rate thus assured, will give an economy of operation that can be nowhere bettered, save in one or two instances where great mines are located right at good harbors. The trouble that culminated in the courts this week has attracted universal attention to these mines, and, like the Cana nea litigation of seven years ago, will advertise them far and wide as a splendid investment. The lucky owners feel that they have one of the greatest enterprises in

 Sheperd out of the Realito," just as some other people in Ohio had done him out of another property, and Mir. Ellinger recounted also some admissions by Haas that went to show that he also was in the probable conspiracy. Mir. Sheperd related how those two and some others in the corporation had extorted from him a contract to yield large part of his own stock (not yet issued) in the company, which contract they had vainly endeayored to get quorum of the board of directors to approve, and how, with quorum present, with Colonel Bird, vice president, in the chair, at Columbus, the extorted contract had been disapproved by the board, and his stock issued to him, the certificate signed by the vice-president and the secretary, under resolution adopted duly by the board of directors. And MT. Fitch recounted the proceedings at the annual meeting of the com pany at Nogales, on the 21st ult., by which Haas and Weinlein were finally busted as directors and officers of the corporation. Mir. Fitch stated further that he had evidence that the two men named (Haas and Weinlein) had gone to Hermosillo, in violation of an in junction from the district court, and attempted to call a meeting there of the Mexican holding com pany, but had failed through the perspicacity of Mir. Charles R. Miles, secretary of that corpora tion.
 The matter being presented com pletely Governor Kibbey took the case under advisement, and Tuesday morning his excellen. cy officially informed the mes senger from Ohio, and Sheriff Saxon. that he would not honor the acquisition and he further informed Mir. Sheperd that he was free to go. The governor based his refusal to honor the acquisition upon four grounds, viz. That the complaint failed to show that there had been any damage done the complainants; second that there had been shown con- clusively that Mir. Sheperd had not misrepresented in claiming the Nina Verde and Nina Colorado third that everything went to show that Mir. Sheperd was not fugit- i've from justice in Ohio, as claimed and fourth, that the acquisition seemed an attempt to use the crim- inal process in lieu of civil pro ceedings.
 The upshot was that the mes senger from Ohio went back to Columbus empty handed, and the effort to use the criminal process in settlement of civil litigation has fallen flat.
 Mir. Sheperd declares that the matter shall not end in his dis charge from custody, but that someone in Ohio will have to pay for the aspersions cast upon his integrity and honesty, and for the indignity to which he was sub- iected when he was dragged half way across Arizona in chains in a futile effort to get him back to Ohio upon trumped up criminal charges.

NEGRO STORIES IN THE SOUTH.

Ray Stannard Bakers articles on
the negro in the American magazine
are notable because they avoid en-
tangling solutions and stick to
facts. Furthermore, the facts are
presented to the readers mind bv
true stories rather in the form of
dry general statements.
Mr.. Baker says in the May Ameri-
can magazine that in the north a
white workman, tho having no espe-
cial prejudice against the negro. will
often refuse to work with him; in
the south, while the social prejudice
is strong, negroes and whites work
together side by side in many kinds
of employment.
Then Mr.. Baker tells this story.
Il had an illustration. Passing the
post office in Atlanta, | saw several
mail-carriers coming out. some white,
some black, talking and laughing,
with no evidence. at first, Of the
existence Of any color line. | went
in and made inquiries. A most in
teresting and significant condition

master, who is wise man, sent
negro carriers up Peachtree and
other fashionable streets, occupied
by wealthy white people, while white
carriers We're assigned to beats in
the mil district and other parts of
the town inhabited by the poorer
classes Of white people.
You see.' said my informant,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1907-05-01

the Peachtree people know how to
treat negroes. They really prefer a
negro carrier to a white one; it's
natural for them to have negro
doing such service. But if we sent
negro carriers down into the mill
district they might get their heads
knocked off. =
| connection with his account of
the freedom with which an old-time
negro will make demands Of white
men Mr.. Baker tells this story:
often a negro of the old sort will
literally bull doze his hereditary
white protector into the loan Of
quarters and half dollars, which
both know will never be paid back.

schools in Fulton county, Georgia.
gave me an incident in point. A
big negro with whom he was wholly
unacquainted came to his office one
day, and demanded he did not ask,
but demanded job.

superintendent?

reply.

error had been made in the bill as
passed by the senate and it was neces-
sary to return it to that body for cor
rection. If the bill is finally passed,
to take effect on approval by the gov
ernor, it is likely to be delayed long
enough to permit the members of the
legislature to get home without pay

The senate committee on taxes and
tax laws has recommended the per

indefinite postponement. There was

of the session it was decided to report
adversely on the measure.

Compromise on Tonnage Tax.

The leaders in the tonnage tax fight
have joined hands in passing two bills
relating to the iron ore lands. One
bill was the Walz bill defining the
ownership of minerals beneath mean
dered lakes and the other the new
mineral lease law. The Walz bill
gives the state the ownership of all
iron and other ore beneath the waters
of meandered lakes. The other bill
takes the place of the old iron ore
lease law which was repealed early in
the session The old law permitted
leasing at fiat rate of % cents per
ton. The new bill provides a gradu-
ated royalty running from 20 cents TO
$1.45 per toD.
The house committee which has
been investigating the famous Great
Northern ore land deal has made its
report. The committee holds that the
deal was put through with Great
Northern money, in violation of its
charter powers, and the profits should
have been treated as assets of the
railroad, to be used in its interests,
instead of being distributed as
bonus to the stockholders. The report
makes no recommendations but is
submitted for whatever use the states
legal department desires to make
of it.
Dodge Vote on Primary Bill
When the bill extending the primary
election law to state officers was taken
ZIP in the house it failed of passage by
vote of AZ to A. Nearly fourth Of
the entire membership was absent
from the chamber or was lodging
when the roll was called. Several
members were excused for sickness
and one or two were out on the joint
committee on appropriations, but more
than a score lodged the question
The bill which raises the salary Of
Governor Johnson and of his success
sors to $1,000, which had previously
passed the house, went through the
senate with but two dissenting votes.
1t is now up to Governor Johnson for
approval.
The house has passed the senate
tax commission bill, but amended it
so as to continue the state board of
equalization with concurrent powers
with the tax commission and in addi-
ton adopted an amendment giving the,
board of equalization the power of
review over the acts of the commits
sicn as far as they relate to the val
uation of property.
The bill in its present form pro-
vides commission of three members
at a salary of $4,000, to be appointed
by the governor for six-year terms.
They are given $1,000 for a secretary
and $4,000 for the employment of ex-
perts and clerks.
The capitol approach bill authoriz-
ing st. Paul to issue bonds not to ex-
coed 100000 has passed both houses.

Separate School for Girls.

The bill providing for a separate
training school for girls has passed
both houses. When it was taken up
in the senate an amendment inserting
the provision that the school be To-
Gated in some county in which there
is now no state institution was offered,
but objection to receiving the amend
ment was made and it was withdrawn.
The bill as it has passed both
houses provides for the location of the
girls training school at some place to
be selected by the board Of control.
The Red Wing people had bill pro
viding for the location of the school
about four miles from the present
training school at that place, which is
now used for both boys and girls.
The fight on the location Of this
school has been probably the hardest
and most extended Of any at this SEES
sion. The Red Wing people put up a
strong fight for the retention of the
girls school in that city, conceding
the claim OF the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs that the boys and girls
schools ought to be separated The
ladies were persistent in urging their
claim that the two schools should not
be located in the same town. The
board of control also had recommend
ed the separation of the schools
Shippers Association Criticised.
The Minnesota Shippers and Re-
ceivers' association and George S.
LOTUS, its head, were severely criti-
cised by the Peterson investigating
committee in its final report to the
house. The association is entirely
controlled by Mr.. LOTUS. says the re-
port and he uses 1t to crafty his own
personal animosities
Mr.. Lotus uses the prestige which
his connection with this association
gives him in high handed, arbitrary
and inconsiderate manner" declares
the committee Candidates for Office
are endorsed or opposed as they are
personally satisfactory or unsatisfac
tory to Mr.. LOTUS and their record
upon railroad measures has very little,
il anything. to do with the opposition
or endorsement of this association"
The report also refers to the alleged
insolent attitude maintained toward
the committee by Mr.. LOTUS and 9th
er officers of the association during
the investigation.
A bill aimed at the secret pledging
of candidates by the Shippers and Re-
ceivers' association or any other asso-
citation was introduced by the commit
| tee with the report.

sunfiower a Fever Cure.

An eminent Spanish professor has
made the discovery that the -sunfower
yields splendid febrifuge that can be
used as substitute for quinine. More
than ten years ago Moncorvo reported
to the Therapeutical Society of Paris
with reference to the same subject.
Accordingly the sunfOwer should not
only by its growing exert great fever
dispelling effect, but also yield a prod
uct which is used advantageously in
all fevers.
The common sunfower is originally
an American plant. It's original home
is said by eminent botanists to be Peru
and Mexico.
The Russian peasantry seem to be
convinced that the plant possesses
properties against fever and fever pa
tients sleep upon bed made of sun
flower leaves and also cover themselves
with them. This use has recently in
1uced Russian physician to expert
ment with coloring matter prepared
from sunfower leaves, and it is report-
ell that he had good results with the
coloring matter and with alcoholic ex-
tracts from the flower and leaves. with
100 children from one month to twelve
years old he has. In the majority OF
cases, effected as speedy cure as 9TH

PHYSICAL Inheritance.
When people use the word "hered'
ity' they are very likely to mean some
dreadful bugaboo Of a supposed natural
law, which they have invited for them
selves. through which the poor human
race comes in for all the ailments and
weaknesses Of its forbears, with none
of the conpensations.
One hears constantly such phrases as
cher mother had consumption" or Ibis
uncle drank himself to DEATH" but
there is much less frankness in return
ing thanks for the physical benefits
that also come down SO abundantly
from the past.
It must not be forgotten that dis
eases are not directly inherited, but
only the tendency to them. This Is a
very comfortable fact, for it constant
" offers reward for well-directed
effort. If one knows from the start
which are the avenues open to danger
one is forewarned and forearmed.
Those who have that knowledge will
not take the children in whose families
there have been many instances Of
tuberculosis and shut them up in stuffy
places or give them diet containing
toe little fat. They would be too wise
to let the excitable child Of nervous
uarentage lead life of overstinulation
or be pushed in its studies, or to offer
SIPS of wine at the table to the small
boy whose father Is heavy drinker.
Just as a predisposition to disease
may be inherited, so also may an alb
solute inability to have it. One sees
this proved by persons who pass un-
scathed through epidemic after cpl
demic. This shows that their Inherit
ed tendenc ytoward the disease, If they
have any, is so much weaker than their
inherited resistance to it that they are
virtually unable to catch it.
Nature herself shows constant pref
erence for the normal, and is always
working to that end; therefore a ten
dency to disease is the punishment for
disobeying her. Neither Is she implac-
able, SO that il one will only work long
enough and hard enough to correct
ones mistakes there comes a time when
nature gives a clean bill of health. It
would be tragic world indeed II only
