clause providing for the election Of congressman on the same day as state officers was adopted. Mr. Me Collum, who offered the amend ment, said that, besides being in conflict with the federal constitu- tion, he feared the clause would give the impression that the gen eral assembly was in favor of con- solidating the state and national elections.
 Jamestown Exhibit.
 Bills providing for an appropria tion of s5O,OOO for state exhibit at the Jamestown exposition and for the appointment of a board of commissioners to carry out the pro- visions of the bills, were intro- duced simultaneously today in the house and senate by Speaker Ham, iter and Senator Amis The intro- duction of these bills is the re- suit of a visit made to the legisla- t1lre yesterday by two special conl- missioners from the Jamestown eS- position, who urged the legislature to make some provision for the representation of the state at the exposition. On account of the fact that it is only two months be- fore the opening of the exposition and there would be little time to prepare a creditable exhibit, it IS regarded as doubtful whether the legislature acts fayorably on the bills introduced today:

". A. Pitt Hurt by Fall.

Contractor w. A. Pitt, who has the
contract for building the A. c. hotel
at Morenci, met with a serious acci.
dent last week while doing some fin
ishing work. He was standing on a
scaffold and stepped to "a board,
which turned with him and ne fell to
the floor. He landed on his left
shoulder, dislocating it and also broke
his right arm below the elbow. His
right ride was paralyzed from the
effects of the fall and he is in bad
shape.
1t will be remembered that he had
a fall from a building on Chase creek
a few years ago, and it took d long
time for him to get over it. He is
now at the A. c. hospital at Morenci
and is getting along nicely, although
he will be laid up for some time
The hotel is about finished now and
the accident will not delay the work.

The y. & n. NJ. railroad, like all the
big roads, is getting behind with its
freight business. The Clifton-Mo-
renci district is advancing the same
as other sections. Several years ago
before Clifton had a standard gauge
railroad, the small engines were able
to supply the camp with one freight
every other day. The business finally
increased to such an extent that it
had to be broadened and the condi-
tion was relieved with three freights
week. Now the freight trains have
been doubled in length and come in
every day, and still blockade is
threatened This is only an illustra-
ton of the rapid advancement of the
camp and the next few years will see
even greater changes. Six years ago
there were only two companies work
ing in the district. the i. c. and De-
troit. Now we-have the Shannon,
New England, Standard, Gold Belt,
New gYorL7Arizo7a and several 9TH
ers, all OF WHICH are DONG we'll. Out
of the new companies the Shannon is
the only one that has a smelter and
reduction plant and it encourages the
others by taking custom ores. The
A. c. and Detroit have both increased
their plants during the past few
years, but the Shannon has advanced
faster than. any other company in
this district. During the next few
years the three big companies of this
district must increase and expand in
order to keep up with the require
ments of the camp. In spite of all
the advancement Clifton appears
just about the same now as it did five
years ago, with the exception that
some sections OF the town have been
built up with modern homes and sub
stantial business houses.

LUCKY FACTORY GIRL.
WEEDS Capitalist Of 60 Years-Thinks

st. Louis.-1Accompanied by his
hance Miss Frederick Murphy, aged
20 years, who formerly was a Cincin-
natl factory girl, j.. e. Bryan, aged
60 years, capitalist, manufacturer and
poet from Xenia, Ohio, was married
here Saturday. Mr.. Bryan asserted he
had come to Missouri to have the cere-
mony performed because in no other
state could he find matrimonial laws
that suited him.
Bryan, who is nearly 60 years of g
is seemingly elated over his marriage.
He said:
while 1t is true that | am getting
to be IN old fellow and she is so
young, still a man does not have good
n until he is so, and my only fear
is that my little bride, who is UNI
usually brilliant, will in time surpass
me in her knowledge. But / think it
is well for an old person to have the
companionship Of young persons, as it
keeps one young"
Mr.. Bryan said that neither he nor
his bride cared to be worth over
81, O00, 600, and he would attempt to
keep his fortune below this figure. He
also emphasizes the fact hat all of his
relatives, including his brother, have
prosecuted him, and that he will not
give them a penny now or at his death

they will erect the new church.
The movement is a continuance of

Father Lopez to vacate the pastorate
the congregation, with the exception
of a few, announced they would stay
by Father Lopez and refused to allow
him to depart.
