This Is the Story
 That McMiIIan Tells

One of those peculiar cases wherein the grand iu-y is puzzled, but which may be ventilated on the trial of the case, is where one McMiIlan has been bound over for grand larceny.
 He states that he and his partner came home and his partner had money, slso jag.
 When his partner went to bed, he tossed his pocket book over behind trunk, and the defendant in the morn- ing, thinking to save his partner from being robbed, put the pocket book Tn his pocket and went to work.
 His partner rose, missed his money and had him arrested. The money was found on his pcrson and there you are
 Other circumstsnces enter strongly into the premises. however, and con. tribute to IT ake it one of the most puzzling and interesting cases which will come before this term of court.

One Of the mest important

One Of the mest important questions to be considered in the present and future of a camp, is the condition of labor. In this respect Tombstone has been peculiarly fortunate, the result of the mutual respect and good treatment between the company and its men. The uniform regard the Tomb stone Consolidated Co. has shown for its competent en- ployes has been reciprocated bya species of respect which is calculated 10 protect both par ties and lead to the very best possible results. This vital point has lon 2 since been  solved to the good people in Tombstone. No company. nc property and no camp can de pend on substantial success and uniform results where dissension exists between the employer and employee. For tunately, the microbe of dis content and the bacteria O agitation have never found their way ;o Tombstone tn like the germ of Ia grippt which is a sphere and wing its way for leagues, the bacil- lus of labor agitation is a spe cifc germ confined to the en vironments of direct physica contact and for that reasol never crossed the Sulphu Springs valley to inoculat the peaceful and contentet ranks of intelligent labor i the old camp of Tombstons This is a source of profoun congratulation and add another inducement to inves tors and homeseekers to com to Tombstone where the at mosphere is as clear of labo agitation as it is of dust an smoke and malaria.

An Increase in Ore
 Shipment Expected

A united effort on the part of the transportaticn companies and the smelters to stimulate mining activity during the present period of inactivity in copper mining at least, has been be gun. When the reduced rates go into effect about June Ist, many a mine which under the old regime could no, ship because ireight and smelte- charges more than consumed the value of the ore, will then be able to ship at prof, and this, il is believed, will result in a considerable increase in ore shipping during the coming summer.
 The first low rates to be ms sde on railroad gre announced by the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix road on ores shipped out of that section for treat ment. F. II. Hetherington, ore of the principal owners Of the Prescott Ssmpling works, also announces that he is in a position to say that the smelter5 are willing at time like this to do what is fair Tn reducing treat. ment charges. Charges on different ores are varied, and on account of the peculiar and costly methods Of treat ment, no reduction can be made on them, but on the other ores not so refractory, smelter rates will be less. eued.

What is Utility Stock?

In the nature of the case, utility
stock must be pure-bred stock. II is
stock bred for practical qualities
rather than mere fancy points. The
arguments used to convince a farmer
that it pays a. we'll to have pure
bred fowls as pure-bred cattle and
hogs, appeal to many of the ilk, but
principally on the practical side. The
better egg yield, the improvement in
the appearance of the flock. and the
better market values for uniform
fowls are bringing the farmer into
the ranks of the pure-bred poultry
raisers. Very few farmers are fanciers
in the strict sense of the term. Their
duties are too many and pressing to
give them time or inclination in this
direction AS q rule, the man on the
farm does not care whether a hen
carries her tail at Just such mathe-
NAUTICAL angle, or has one or more
points too few or too many on her
comb, If only she shells out the eggs,

effective, the farm 9rs' dein ition must
b scome the rule. He does not object
to handsome, we'll plumaged fowls,
but they must be heavy egg producers,
or the fine feathers will go for naught.
By emphasizing this point, the farmer
and fancier will be dra wn much
nearer together. the fancier will find
u far wider market for his output,
and the farms will show a splendid
improvement in thu poultry line.

ARKANSAW LETTER
FROM H. BUCHNER
Thinks Crossett is the Cleanest
Town He Ever Saw.
Says Big Saw Mills in That Thriving
Village Employ About One
Thousand Men.
Away Down in Dixie.
TO the Edilor of the Herald:

To the EditOr OF the Herald:
Crossett, Ark, Dec. 8. 1905
Dear Sir. arrived safely in the
Sunny South. The weather is balmy
and exhilerating. Yesterday we sat
on the gallery'it being " in the
shade.
The Crossett saw mills are in full
operation more than thousand men
are employed in the plant. For want
of cars orders cannot be filled prompt
". 1t is a sight to see the stream
of employees leaving the mills at noon
and evening. Crossett the village is
the cleanest / have ever seen. Lam
caster is very clean town, but it
cannot hold q -caLdle to Crossett,
the midtown. Such a filthy spot as
can be seen near the Methodist church
in Lancaster would not be tolerated
at this place. That place is about
the only one sore SPOT in Lancaster.
That the Health Commissioner and
Board fof Aldermen permit it to exist
seems strange to me. Lancaster is the
prettiest place / ever saw. Houses
and surroundings are maintained in
excellent condition, and the little city
in general has q charm that will
never he forgotten. But there are
other charms dear t. me that are
deeply impressed in my mind. My
dear old friends with whom / had
e. 81, fovf,r
years linger in my memory, and
although | have made many good
friends in Crossett and neighboring
towns, friends that are pleasant, soci-
able and hospitable toward me to the
fullest extent, yet the sight of one of
my dear old friends from old Grant
would make them fade away tempOTari-
". 1t is difficult to transplant an
old tree. The tender rootlets are
Iacerated when torn from its native
soil, and could it express its feel
ing ike a human being, it would cry
out in agony on account of the pain
inflicted So it is with man.
The election of Taft seems to De
satisfactory to the Southern people
with whom I have come in contact
We did not want Bryan" they said
but voted for him as being the head
of the Democratic ticket Protection
to the industries is in demand, and
the time will soon come when the
real inner conviction of the Southern
Democracy for the republican principles
of protection will burst their deeply
rooted bond to the old democratic
tradition that a southerner as matter
Of course should be democrat, and
that solid south must be maintained
The Arkansaw Gazette, the largest
and an ultra Southern democratic
daily paper in Arkansaw. had a to me
amusing editorial in a late issue in
which the fact that the sugar
lumber, rice, zinc and lead industries
should be protected was strongly set
up But it said "what will our
senator and congressman do, can they
vote for a strong protective tariff in
favor of our industries in face OF the
traditional policies of the Democratic
party? Wipe out this tradition and
the greater part of the Southern States
will stand for protection of home in
dustries.
With best regards to you and my
old friends in and around Lancaster.
will close this time. 1 remain truly
yours. Away down South in Dixie. F"
